County Sports Tourna-.
ment Sunday, Aug. 19

kittenball and horseshoe teams in
action. These teams are composed
Of men, boys and girls.
It is said that 400 men, boys and
girls will take part in the tourna-
ment events. This number added
to those who will attend this and
other activities in the city Sunday
will bring the estimated number Of
visitors to well over 1000.
Visitors are invited to take adj
vantage Of the splendid picnic
grounds at the city park, where
they may also enjoy boating and
bathing, at one Of the best beaches
in this territory. The committee in
charge is making arrangements for
the comfort of a large number Of
folk, who will accompany their
teams to this city Sunday. Sank
Centre people are urged to attend
these events, for it will be a gala
affair and well worth the price
asked.
There are four good kittenball
diamonds at the Fair Grounds,
where 100 players will be in action
at one time. These events are I'M
der the direction of E. G. McTag-
CART and Mr.. Champa, of the ST..
Cloud office. Sank Centre is for
tunate in having fine entries in all
events. The Senior men with MT.
Kratz, Korf and Sieben, as mound
workers, and Nathe and Thull as
catchers, should be able to make a
good showing in the tourney. The
balance of the lineup is also good.
Miss Mercedes Crippen is in
charge of the girls and midget
boys teams. It is expected that
these young folk will give a good
account of themselves.
The horseshoe teams are COM
posed of Art johnson, George Fish,
Ray belong, Bjorklund and Black,
with many others to help if needed.

Cattle Buying in
Stearns Co. on New Basis

day. For example, on Monday,
August Is, when the plan was
started, seven carloads were in
spected and appraised at st. Jo-
seph and Kimball by two veterin-
arians and two committeeman. I'm
der the old plan, it would have re-
quired three and one-haf days for
two veterinarians and two commit
teemen to have completed that
much work.
The County Extension Office
urges every producer to Gull his
herd down to the number he will
have feed for during the coming
winter. So far, about 1900 head
of cattle have been shipped under
the Emergency buying program in
this county. This number repre-
sents just a trifle over II per cent
of the cattle in the county. It will
not be possible for the county to
carry over S8 per cent Of the orig
inal number of cattle they had on
hand, and that is about the numb
er that still remains on farms at
the present time. A further reduc-
ton is necessary. So far, about
2400 farmers, or trifle over one
half of the farmers in Stearns
County have sold cattle under the
Emergency buying program. Still
a great number have as yet not
sold any. The outlook for help on
drought relief feed is not too en-
couraging. This year more coun-
ties in Minnesota will need relief
feed than ever before and the
amount of money available for that
purpose is none too large; hence
the amount each individual pro-
ducer can receive is much less than
before. Under the circumstances,
with feed prices as high as they are
and the farm income on the farms
so small, the best policy, perhaps,
will be to adjust the number of
cattle as soon as possible to the
amount of feed that is available.
No definite assurance is given as
to how long the cattle buying will
continue although we have been
given to understand that it will be
carried on for several weeks yet
Producers wishing to sell should
list the number with the Extension
Office and feel assured that the
livestock so listed will be picked up
in a week or less.

derful home, which has been made

of it's members. Most of the work
is being done by members of the
local lodge, who are contributing
as much as possible. This spirit OF
cooperation among the members
has made this memorial to Odd
Fellowship in this city possible.

Pointers On How to
Drive So as to Arrive
Thirty-one Per Cent of Accidents
- Are Due to Speeding-Running
OFF the Road is Common

Alb Jenkins, the man who holds
more American Automobile Associa-
ton records for distance, speed and
endurance driving than any other
driver-and has never had an acct
dent-gives practical suggestions
for safe driving in the current Ro-
tartan Magazine. They are:
Keep both hands on the wheel
"The only two people know who
are competent to drive one-handed
are Eddie Rickenbacker and Ralph
de Palma-and both of them use
two hands"
Keep the best tires on the front
wheels.
1.-THE front-wheel blowout is by
far the more dangerous. When
blow-outs do happen, danger can
be averted by clinging stoutly to
the steering-wheel."
always test your brakes.
During the first hundred yards
of driving, I always test my brakes
by pushing down the pedal. The
brakes may have frozen, they may
be greasy or need adjustment"
Be extremely careful at twilight.
"You have three times the acct
dent hazard at twilight that you
have at 8 A. M. Defective visibility
is, of course, the reason. Rememb-
|er, too, that nighttime crashes
have forty-two per cent higher IA
tality than daylight accidents"
Don't use brakes in skid.
ITO come out of skid throw out
your clutch and maneuver the steer
ing-wheel so that the front wheels
are alignment with the rear ones.
In other words, go in the skid.
Braking is Intellectual. Your main
concern is to equalize traction on
all four wheels, which you do by
throwing out your clutch; your
next move is to get all your wheels
In line. AS soon as you feel the
skid weakening, let in the clutch,
gun the motor, and resume for
ward progress"
Study the road.
Always reduce speed when pass
ing from one type Of road to an
other. Your right wheel should be
approximately one and one-half
feet from the outer edge of the
highway. Running off the road is
common. Thirty-one per cent of ac-
cidents are due to speeding, while
thirty!four per cent are caused bv
cars going OFF the road

Honor Tokens Are
Highway Safety Badge
Public Safety Committees Seek
Drivers Cooperation, Under
Emergency Relief Assn.
StkrG EMERGENCY asleF ADMINISTRATION
DIVISION or SAFETY

A plan to put drivers of motor
vehicles on their honor to drive
safely, and to display a windshield
sticker prominently on their cars,
in evidence of their pledge of safe
driving, has been brought out by
the cooperation and approval of
the State Highway Department.
iCty and County public safety
committees and State Highway Pa
trolmen are inviting drivers to sign
safety pledge cards in the interests
of safety on the streets and high
ways of Minnesota. Each driver
receives the first portion of a three
part Honor Token" as soon as he
signs a safety pledge card.
Two chevrons complete the "Hon-
or Token" Drivers will obtain them
from garages or service stations,
Highway patrolmen or local police
officers. Chevrons are obtainable
following brake and light tests if
brakes and lights are correct, or if
necessary adjustments or correct
ions in defective brakes or lights
receive attention.
The pledge part of the Honor
Token" is shaped in replica of an
outline map of the state, and bears
on it's face the safety slogan,
Help Make Minnesota the Safest
State"
It is anticipated that commercial
organizations that have fleets of
trucks, firms having numerous en-
ployes driving company cars, bus
companies, and wholesale and retail
concerns having a number of motor
delivery cars will be among the first
to want their drivers to be 100 per
cent represented in the display of
the pledge sections of the Honor
Tokens" on their cars, as an evil
dence of approval and support Of
the public safety program sponsor
ed by the Safety Division SIERRA,
and which has for it's objective the
prevention of motor vehicle fatali-
ties in Minnesota.
To win the chevrons that COM
plete the Honor Tokens ON car
windshields, car owners or drivers
may take their cars or trucks to
any garage or service station they
choose.
State Highway patrolmen, as well
as local police officers, will be sup
piled with the brake and light chew
rons to award to motorists submit
ting to brake and light tests and
having needed corrections (if any
taken care of.
State Highway patrolmen testing
lights and finding them defective
will require that corrections be
made at official light testing sta
tons.
Drivers receiving a Form 60S'
from a State Highway patrolman
may be obliged to conform to re-
quirements at the patrol on brake
and light adjustments and report
back to the patrol to be cleared
from technical arrest, and on being
so cleared may obtain their brakes
or light chevron from the Highway
patrol.
Conformance with the require
ments of local police authorities
will be necessary in each COM
munity, where police officers have
found brakes or lights faulty, the
Safety DivlAion sierra advises.
