Will Build Dam
at Little Birch
Ask County Commissioners to En-
large Channel So Boats Can
Pass Between Lakes

The Stearns County Sportsmen's
club and summer resort residents
on both Middle and Big Birch
lakes, meeting Friday evening at
Melrose, decided to build the long
debated dam between Middle Birch
and Lake Sylvia to raise the water
level in the two upper lakes.
The meeting held at the Melrose
city hall was largely attended and
the cost of $500 for the dam was
easily obtained.
A canal between Middle and Big
Birch which was built early this
summer raised the level of the big
lake somewhat, but was not very
successful. A petition also was
drawn up asking the Todd county
commissioners to enlarge the chan
mel so that boats could pass from
one lake to another.
A petition also was drawn up
asking the legislature to pass mea-
sures which would insure the pres
ent timber stands about the lake
and result in survival Of the
great primitive beauty of the land
and lake shore.
The meeting was attended by
many Melrose and Grey Eagle resi-
dents as well as the resorters and
sportsmen.
Some years ago Todd and
Stearns county commissioners al
lowed the construction. of a dam
at the outlet Of the Birch lakes
which subsequently was dynamited
and lawsuits brought by two pro-
perry holders on the middle lake
were tried and lost in court.

trait which made for her a large
host of friends who mourn the loss
of true friend.

HAVE YOU ROOM
FOR STUDENTS?

During the past several weeks
appeals have appeared in the
want ad column Of the Herald,
asking for places for students to
work for room and board, while
attending school in this city.
The greater share of these re-
quests have been made by girls,
who offer to do homework and
care for children, in payment for
a place to stay.
Some of these young people
will be unable to attend school
unless someone has room and
can find employment for them.
The Herald has directed most of
the inquiries to Supt. w. A.
Kohl. However, this appeal is
made directly by the Herald, in
order that, at least, some or
all Of these young people may
attend school this year.
This is worthwhile PROPOSE
ton and demands the immediate
attention of all Sank Centre folk,
who are in position to give room
and board in exchange for work.
Some of these ads may be
found in the Herald of this and
last week.

Mrs. Sinclair Lewis,
Expelled from Germany
Published Interview With Hitler In
1881, Given as Basis for Nazi
Expulsion

Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, Dorothy
Thompson), Journalist, wife of Sin
clair Lewis, formerly of this city,
was expelled from Germany late
Saturday, August 25th.
"Your anti-German articles in the
American press make 1t impossible
for us to extend German hospital
ity," Miss Thompson was informed
by the secret police.
She was requested to "leave as
soon as possible and avoid the ne
cessity Of issuing a formal expul-
sion order"
Through United States Consul
Raymond Geist's efforts, Miss
Thompson obtained 24-hour extern
sion of the time limit when she
must be over the German frontier.
Police officials said that unless
the author left Of her own accord,
two policemen would accompany
her to the border.
Miss Thompson decided she
would leave-without escort-to-
night.
It was learned that the govern
ment's action was based on the re-
port of an interview with Adolf
Hitler, written by Miss Thompson
in 1881 in which she gave her per-
sonal impressions of the leader.
'tThis was written three years
ago." Miss Thompson said. "At
a time when Hitler had less than
35 per cent of the support of the
people. He was not chancellor
then, and it is therefore difficult for
me to see how an adverse impress
sion of him, at that time, could be
interpreted as an attack ON Ger
many"
She added that the secret police
also objected to an article written
after the nazi accession to power,
and describing brutal treatment of
the Jews.
"Yet these were reports on facts
based on substantial evidence" she
added.
