Main Streefers Trip
Both Osakis Teams
High School Wins Ia to 11-LegiOn
Team Adds Another Victory
To List of Laurels

It was most agreeable and
pleasant evening Friday for the To-
cal High School quint, which had
the satisfaction of administering
defeat to the Osakis team, the score
being IA to II.
The first half was a rather slow.
jumbled up mess. Both teams ap-
peared lost and afraid of what the
other might do. The defense Of
both teams was good as the score
of 4 to would indicate, even tho
several good shots were missed on
both sides.
It looked as though the locals
were in for another one of the
same type games, where they would
be on the short end of the score.
However, the second half was a
much different story. The Main
Streeters took on new life and there
was a decided improvement in their
type of play. They had that extra
fighting spirit, which proved they
were not to be denied. They won
the game by superior play, the
score at the end being IA to II.
The locals show signs of becom-
ing a good team, if they continue to
the type of ball handling
and organization they possessed
during the latter part of the game.
The following is the box score: I

Slugged By
Lone Bandit
Unconscious for Some Time
Delayed Calling Police De-
partment Until Morning
UNABLE TO CALL HELP
Five Stitches Necessary to
Close Wound-Getting
Along Very Nicely

Early Sunday morning at about
4:3O O'Clock, JOS. ,tcoDinson, at
rendant at the Iexaco nlilng sta
ton, on South Nam street, near the
junction or highways NO. and rs,
was siugged by lone man, VINO
mad awakened MIN to purchase gas
and Oil for MS roadster. Mr. Rob-
inson mas lived at the station ever
since he took charge about q year
and q half ago.
Mr.. Robinson filed the car with
seven gallons of gasoline and also
put in a quart of OIL, and returned
into the building with the empty
oil bottle. He stopped to put the
oil bottle in the tray and at that
time the man, who had followed
him into the station, hit him on the
head with a heavy instrument. Joe
tell unconscious onto his bed and
mis- head rested on the radio table
nearby. He did not regain con-
seriousness until about 4:45, when
he grabbed a hand ak and started
for the door, However, he became
very ill and was forced to drop
back onto the bed. He was unble
to call for help as there is no tele-
phone at the station.
Sometime between seven and
eight o'clock, Chas. Pendroy, who
delivers milk to the station, found
Joe in his helpless condition. He
Immediately called a physician and
the police department, following
which the sheriff's office at St.
Cloud was notified
Mr.. Robinson stated that the man
had not taken any money. Al
though robbery must have been the
motive, it is thought that when the
man saw Joe fall he became fright
ened and fled. Mr.. Robinson had
the money in his hip pocket.
The fold-up man was about 80 or
IS years Of age, according to Joe's
statement. He was of medium
build, thin jawed, wore a dark rail-
road cap, and a dark railroad three
quarter length mackinaw, and wore
overalls. He was driving a model
lr-Ford roadster, of either 1922 or
|1923 vintage. Mr.. Robinson stated
that owing to darkness he was I'M
able to get an accurate description
Of the man.
It was necessary to take five
stitches to sew up the wound, and
although Joe was quite i'll and
nervous or shaken up on Sunday,
he is getting along in nice shape.
This experience is quite trying TO
any man, but more especially TOT
q man of Mr.. Robinson's age.

Too Local Men HdDe
Received Promotions
e. III. Wolfe Transferred to Min
neapolis-Ed Borgmann APP
pointed District Auditor

e. H. Wolfe and Ed Bergman,
both employees of the Standard Oil
Co., have received promotions the
past week, which will take them
away from the city.
Mr.. Wolfe, who has been the
auditor of this district, and who has
made his home in Sank Centre for
the past four years, has been trans
ferred to Minneapolis, where he
will be employed in the Standard
Oil office in the accounting de-
partment. He will move his fam
lily to Minneapolis in about a month,
but his work will start Monday.
Ed Borgmann, who has been the
tank wagon agent in this city for
the past two and one-half years,
has been appointed to take Mr..
Wolfe's place as auditor, and he
will leave soon for Willmar, where
he will make his headquarters.
Both men will leave Saturday
for Minneapolis to receive
instructions on their new positions.
The many friends of these two
young men are loathe to see them
leave the city, but wish them great
success in their new positions.
The tank wagon agency has been
taken over by Loren Pierson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. p. A. Pierson, who
reside north Of Sank Centre. He
will be assisted by A. Polipnik,
who has been employed as second
man for Ed Borgmann for some
time. All of these fellows are high
type young men and will, no doubt,
prove themselves valuable in their
new positions.

did YOU
KNOW THAT

Did you know that there are
so people in Sank Centre, who
are making their livelihood, all
or in part, at the teaching pro-
fession? These instructors are
at the service of the community
and are endeavoring to teach
our children the three RS, mu-
sic, religion, and all Of the other
studies necessary for prepare
ton to a greater education.
In this number, besides the
staff of the Public School and
the Parochial School, we have
listed the music teachers, and
the pastors Of the several
churches, who reside in the city.
Nine of the fifty teachers are
engaged in the instruction of pi-
ano, violin or band instruments.
Teachers engaged in special
work are also included in the
number.
Besides the so teachers in the
city, there is a large staff of in
structors at the Home School,
but we have not included these,
as they are engaged in work for
the state.
With this large staff of in
structors it can be plainly seen
that no child within the city or
It's surrounding country need be
neglected in completing an ed
ucation which will take them
through the high school and al
so give them an excellent know
ledge Of music and a religious
background.

Attend School
Letter From State Department of
Education Relative to the En-
Urgency Educational Program

The following letter from Harold

ency Educational program, was re

who may wish to take special edu
cational work. The letter follows:
State Department of Education

January Is. 1884
Dear Superintendent:
Because of a recent addition
to our allotment of federal
funds for work-relief for teach
ers it will be possible for us to
authorize the employment Of adj
ditional teachers throughout
the State for our Emergency
Education Program.
It is the intention to assign
these teachers so that the total
number employed in any coun-
ty will be in proportion to the
population of that county.
However, if the school authori-
ties lefty and county superin-
tendents) fail to put in requests
for teachers in time, or If pro-
posed educational programs
submitted with the requests do
not merit the assignment Of
teachers, the number of teach
ers allotted to the county will
be reduced.
Glasses may be organized for
any worth while subject or ac-
tivity desired by out Of school
people in the community, en-
ployed or unemployed. Formal
school subjects, academic or
vocational, may be offered. We
are particularly interested in
the organization of informal
educational recreational activi-
ties to make possible the pro-
fftable use of leisure time, and
to build special morale and in
telligent citizenship. "a few ac-
tivities are: music, sports, ath-
letics, art and handicraft, home
making, home nursing, debate,
dramatics, reading circles, par
liamentary practice, groups for
discussion Of social economic
problems, etc. Possibilities in
this field are very great.
All adults interested in any O.

are asked to phone, write or cal
