Racketeers Prey On
Sank Centre Folk

With gold worth around $34
an ounce, a new racket has de-
veloped, which was brought to
light In Sank Centre last week,
and by which, we believe, sever
al Of our good people have been
misled and defrauded.
Two men, who through sub
terfuge have led people to be-
lieve that they were government
representatives, made visits to
several homes in this city the
past week and stated that they
were buying gold, presumably
for the government. These men
did not pay an honest price for
the gold purchased, as one man
sold a gold watch case, which
was worth $24.00, to them for
the small sum Of $500.
Another person they attempt
ed to victimize, lady, became
suspicious. She did not sell the
articles Of gold but took them
to a local jeweler, who assayed
them to be worth four times as
much as she was offered by the
gyp artists. Do not sell articles
of gold to strangers for they
may be in the same kind Of a
racket these men were in. Your
local jewelers. will assay any ar
ticle Of gold for you, tell you
what it is worth and give you
honest weights and payment.
The government is not buying
gold from house to house.

Very Clever and Unusual
Specialties Between Acts
Cast of Characters

In the presentation Of the COM
edy "Fhe Big Cheese" at the Jun
ior High School auditorium Tues
day evening the students splendid
ly maintained the very high stand
ard in nistronic efforts established
by the Sank Centre schools many
years ago. The audience was large
and appreciative.
The story of the play isn't one
which keep one awake nights read
ing; it has, however, snappy dia-
logue and numerous humorous sit
|uations.
The presentation of a comedy Is
really more difficult for amateur
production than heavier drama.
To put comedy across the actors
must be on their toes, picking up
their cues very promptly to keep
the fast moving sequences at the
proper tempo. The local cast Of the
big Cheese" did just this, max
ing a very enjoyable entertainment.
The sex specialties between acts
were unusual, particularly those
between Act I and II.-"Where's
Annie?" by Elsie Clark, Ruth Aus
tin, Loretta Krebsbach, Florence
Holme, Loretta Gaspard, Rosanne
Schoenhoff, Lorraine Carlson, Wan
da Carpenter, Thelma Olson, Echo
Clough, June Arndt and John Du-
Bots was given deserved applause.
The tap dance by Fay Sprague
and Helen Rose was dainty en-
joyable number.
"The Last Roundup" was sung
by Jarvis Hansen, Robert Rydholm,
Vernon Kind, Merlin Pickett, OAR
win Conner and James Rattle. These
kids had the time Of their lives
attired in cowboy fashion putting
this number over. The audience
got a great kick out Of this num-
Der.
Between Acts II and III, Donald
Otto, in excellent voice, with Miss
Wilson as accompanied, sang
You've Got Everything" and "Can
We Talk It Over" Nancy Wedge
played II Love a Little Cottage"
and zone Fleeing Hour" as cornet
solos," in a very finished and en-
joyable manner. Miss Wilson was
at the piano.

Sank Centre Can
Secure Airport
The Federal Government VIII Sup
ply $1,000 or $1,000 for Labor
and Material

Sank Centre has the opportunity
to secure Federal supported air
port. -, itHx;
Maj. L. H. Butts, of st. Paul,
representing the Federal govern
ment telephoned Mayor DeLaurier
Monday stating that this city could
secure $1,000 to $4,000 to be used
for material and labor, 20 per cent
for material, the balance for labor,
in developing an airport.
The proposition carries the stipu-
lation that the city must provide
the site. The site need not neces-
sarily be purchased, but a five-year
lease must be obtained.
There will not be any structures
on the field. The money will be
used for drainage grading.
One hundred twenty acres, in L
shape are required.
The City Council met informally
Monday and secuted around for a
site. They have decided upon the
"Kandota Flats" on the Fairy Lake
road, three miles west Of the city,
the site of the old Indian Mounds.
This land is owned by Francis
Bond, of Massachusetts. A wire was
sent the lady Wednesday afternoon
offering her $3.50 per year for five
years. When the Herald went to
press word had not been received
from her.
The government is carrying on
an extensive airport project devel-
opment. Money has been appro-
priated in the past two weeks for
development at st. Cloud, Glen
wood and Alexandria.
Maj. Bulls promised to hold the
Sank Centre proposal open until
the city had received an answer
from the owner Of the land.
The government Is moving ex-
trmely fast in this matter, and Sank
Centre must act quickly.

aid in providing and distributing
'ood to upland game birds, and ir
has asked the Herald
20 publish the following article:
Due to the sleet storm and
prospects of extreme cold
weather it is going to become
necessary to provide feed and
grain for our upland game birds
in the near future.
AS there is only a small
amount Of feed left in the
fields this winter in this COM

sary to keep a closer check up
on the condition Of these birds.
The pheasant Is the best
friend we have in assisting in
getting rid of the grasshoppers.
I therefore would like to ask
every land owner or renter, for
his own benefit, to assist in
helping to care for these birds.
I would appreciate 1t If all
true sportsmen and farmers
would see me or call me, CIV
ing information In regard to
the feed and general condition
Of the birds on or near their
farms.
The Game and Fish Depart
ment has asked wardens to
cut expenses. Through the
cooperation Of farmers and
sportsmen I win be able to do
this work at q minimum cost.

City Tax Rate
Up to 70 Mills

Increased State and County Rates
Responsibility Has Is
Mill Levy
The city Of Sank Centre will have
a total tax levy next year Of exactly
10 mills, according to figures furn-
ished by County Auditor Nick
Thomey. Extraordinary state and
county levies Of more than % mills
bring up the grand total. The levy
for the city proper is only 10 mills.
This low levy was made possible
by the turning into the city treas
ury Of $4,000 by the Water, Light
and Power commission. This con-
tribution would amount to a trifie
more than Is mills were the city
compelled to raise the money for
the budget by tax levies.
