For 20 years the present Herald
editor has told the readers Of this
newspaper about the entertain
ment they would enjoy if they at
tended the Stearns County Fair.
The editor has faithfully chron-
icled the high lights of each of the
succeeding fairs, and the enter
tainment has been worth while.
This is the first year that the
editor has been privileged to view
the fair without a close connection.
The editor has, however, kept in
close contact with the program the
officers have planned for this year.
They have been wonderfully sue
cessIul in lining UP an amusement
program that should have an appeal
to all patrons. The headliners are
the Gould family-17 people, who
will present a program of entertain
ment which will not Offend the
most critical.
Paul Domke, one of the best
known wrestlers of his period, now
a highly respected farmer of this
community, and director of the
Fair association, started several
months ago to interest the young
men of this community in athletic
activities. He has developed a
group of the sterling youth of the
community and they will present
amateur wrestling and boxing bouts
which will not only please the fair
customers but will be a revelation.
Last year the Fair Association
booked the Alexandria Driving
Club for a series of harness horse
races. The events were so success
full that they were booked again
this year. There will be two racing
events Monday and Tuesday after
Moons.
Sank Centre folks will take more
than passing interest in the racing
card because Jack Crawford, of
this city, will drive Gordon Patch
in Class c Monday afternoon. This
horse is also entered in Class A
July 4. Jack is an outsider, and the
guys from Alex hold Gordon Patch
in very high esteem. The after
noon Of July Jack has very nifty
colt entered in Class D, the colt
race.
The dates of this years fair are
unusually early. The fair officers
realize this and they will permit the
entry of grains and grasses grown
in 1892 to be shown this year.

Important Change
In II. S. Faculty
"Stub" Olson Becomes Senior Prin-
cipal-E. ID. Rarvey, of Preston,
Athletic Coach

Supt. w. A. Kohl announces that
the former principal of the Senior
High, Mr.. v. Beaumont, will be the
instructor in college courses for the
ensuing year. Coach "Stub" Olson
has been promoted to the principal
ship. To fill the coaching position,
Mr.. E. D. Harvey has been select
ed. Mr.. Harvey has held that po-
sition at Preston, Mimi, for the
past four years and is very well
qualified to take over the duties in
the Sank Centre schools. The fol-
lowing article is quoted from the
Preston Republican:
Gene Harvey, the very cap
able young man who has been
athletic director in our schools
for the past four years, an
nounces that he last week sign
ed a contract in which he has
accepted the position Of coach
in the Sank Centre schools for
the term Of 1933-34. BY virtue
Of the change Gene again be-
comes member of the staff
Va SaPSs W. 1AOAl,
tendent Of the Preston schools
during the terms Of 1929-3O and
1930-31.
In summarizing Genes record
here we find that during the
last two years he has turned
out two district championship
football teams, and that his
basketball quints have made a
nice showing each year. At the
same time his school work has
been most satisfactory and dur
ing the four years he has made
many, many friends who will
share their disappointment,
with the students in our
schools, at his leaving. Sank
Centre is getting a young man
who Is as good a coach as there
is out, who Is fine fellow, and
we know that they will be well
pleased.

Osalkis I; Sauk Centre 2


Sunday the Sank Centre ball
team was defeated by Osakis by
the score of to 2. For five innings
the local boys led with the score
of 2 to O. Only 13 men faced Bak-
er in the first four innings. He
pitched masterful baseball, until the
eighth when he weakened to allow
five hits and three runs.
The local aggregation scored its
first run in the third inning, when
Klar was safe on an error at sec
ond; Marthaler famed; A. Martial
er hit safe; Holt was out third to
first; Soltau hunted and Marthaler
scored; Iwinski few out to left
field. Two hits, one error, one run.
Sank Centre scored one run in
the fifth inning. H. Marthaler was
safe on q hit. He was forced at
second when IA. Marthaler was safe
on a folders choice; Holt and Sol
tau hit safe and A. Marthaler scor-
ed; Iwinski flew out to left field
and Holt was caught at the plate
for the third out. Three hits, no
errors, one run.
Osakis made four runs in the
fifth inning on three hits and one
error, and in the eighth they made
three more scores and five hits and
walk.
Baker allowed the first hit to
Osakis in the fourth inning. At the
end Of the seventh frame the Osa-
kisities had only made five hits off
the slants Of Baker. It was a good
game and it is expected that the
locals will now get into shape so
that they will be able to give all
Of the teams in the league some
mighty stiff competition.
The following is the box score:

Ten months ago, when the leg

OUR CHURCHMAN MAYOR

The North Carolina Christian Advocate this week
gives front page editorial prominence to the con-
soldated five Quarterly Conference meeting in the
First Methodist church in Charlotte the report be-
ing embeilished by portrait of arthur Wearn,
mayor of Charlotte, and leader among Methodist
laymen in his city," Editor Pyer follows this with
tribute to His Honor, and, for the benefit OF
Mayor Wearns friends in particular and church
men in general we are passing along the comment.
Says Editor Plyer-
At the close Of business, somebody suggested
that we have word from Charlotte's new mayor,
Arthur II. Wearn, who is the secretary of the
Quarterly Conference Of First church. Mr. Wearr
expressed appreciation for this privilege to say
word in behalf of civic righteousness, and it was
great to hear this man, whose life through the
years has been an open book which all men might
read with profit declare his stand upon all moral
questions. Among other things he said that he was
the only councilman who voted against the licens-
ing of beer and that now with the campaign APP
preaching when men and women will be called
upon to take their stand he desired to say with
emphasis that he is against the repeal of the 18th
Amendment and of the burlington Act, and OPP
posed to every move that ministers to lawlessness
and the return of the legazed liquor traffic.
"As l heard the ringing words of Charlotte's
mayor" says the editor, 81 thanked God that there
is one man in high public office in North Carolina
who is not afraid to speak clearly and boldly in
behalf of high ethical standards and of good gov
eminent.
eff the good citizens of Charlotte fail to stand
by their mayor, and to see that the hoodlum ele
ment of that city do not take charge of affairs.
shall be sorely disappointed and shall be ashamed
of those church leaders in the City of Churches,
If Charlotte does not keep the unrighteous force.
