All-Stars Play
Poor Game;
Easy Victory
st. Cloud Players Stage A
Massacre To Highly
TOuted Team
FINAL SCORE II TO2
Saints Gave Nice Exhibition
Opposition a Burles-
que on National Sport :.

A comedy of errors resulted Sum
day, instead Of a good ball game as
fans expected. The highly touted
All-Stars, according to the names
in the lineup, should have been
able to present the game as 1t
should be played, but their efforts
were merely burlesque. The lineup
included Plummer, former first
baseman at Bertha when Jawn
Donaldson was going strong; Ber-
nier, of Little Falls fame; Miletti,
Of the Michigan league; and 9TH
ers Of their ilk. IF they ever could
play ball they didn't show it in
Sundays offering, and to say the
least, the fans were sorely disap-
pointed.
st. Cloud gave another fine ex-
hibition Of baseball. They played
the game regardless Of their OPP
ponents' apparent weakness and
were the winners by the score Of
IL to 2.
The All-Stars threatened in the
second inning, but bonehead base
running nipped their chances in
the bud. In the fifth the "Stars"
came. through with four hits and
scored two runs, after which they
were no longer a threat. Although
they made twelve hits, N. Rengel,
st. Cloud moundsman, kept them
well scattered and at no time had
to bear down.
st. Cloud scored two in the first
inning, on two hits, an error and a
squeeze play. Their big inning was
the third, when eight runs crossed
the platter. In this inning they
garnered six hits, one a long home
run by Jerry Smith, which together
with three errors constituted a
massacre to the so-called All-Stars.
st. Cloud scored another run in
the fourth on hit an error and
wild pitch. They did not score
again until their half of the sew
enth, when the all-stars presented
them with a run, unearned, on two
errors and bonehead playing.
st. Cloud has an excellent team
and with proper opposition are
able to present some very fast
baseball. Another game may be
booked for this city Sunday, Aug
ust 18th. IF 1t is, a team able to
cope with the st. Cloud aggrega-
ton will be booked. and fans who
were disappointed Sunday, will be
offered a guaranteed attraction.

Acquire Ride
For Stearns
County Fair
Merry o-Round To Be Put
In Permanent Structure
At Fair Grounds
WILL ERECT BUILDING
Purchase of Riding Device
Made on Easy Payment
Plan

Officers Of the Stearns County
Agricultural Society went to Kim
ball Saturday night where they
purchased the community merry
go-round from that village. The of
ficers. who contaminated the deal
were: w. H. Rattle, president;
John Ceynar, treasurer; J. A.
Schoenhoff. secretary, and M. ].
Fleming, director.
The merry-go-round will find a
permanent home at the fair
grounds in this city, and win be in
operation at the fair August 16,
II and Is. Contrary to the belief Of
many there was no financial out
lay in this purchase, and the mer-
ry-go-round will be brought here
to be paid out Of the earnings over
a period Of time.
This riding device will be housed
In a permanent wood structure
built on double octagon plan. The
material for this building which is
now under construction, is being
furnished by Geo. Steiner and Is
secured by note given by the Of
ficers Of the fair association. The
building will be paid for on a plan
similar to that Of the purchase Of
the merry-go-round. The total cost
Of this enterprise win DO about
81, 900.
This project, which was sanction
ed by the City Council, was made
necessary for two reasons, the first
being the decision of the fair
board last January not to book line
carnivals, but instead to have in
dependent shows, Of clean, moral
character at the fairs In the fu-
ture. The second reason Is to
meet the demands made upon the
fair board for cooperation in coun-
ty school activities, All work and
other youth movements. The mer-
ry-go-round was purchased on the
recommendation Of County Supt.
Garland Taylor, as a means Of en-
tertainment, not only at the fair,
but at field days, track meets,
achievement days and other events
to be held at the fair grounds in
the future.
The merry-go-round weighs sew
en- ton; it is not a movable mach
inc, hence its permanent location
at the fair grounds.
The riding device is equipped
with a new organ, with band ac-
compartment, and has recondi-
toned power unit. It was guaran-
teed to be in perfect running order
and will be erected by the Kim
ball operator, who win remain here
during the fair and instruct local
men in its operation. Operation Of
the riding device will require the
services Of five people.
Officers Of the fair are to be
commended for their far-sighted-
ness in the purchase Of the merry
go-round. It will fill a long-felt
need and win relieve the officers Of
the pressure exerted by carnival
companies in booking riding de-
vices.

VOLUME SIXTY-NINE-NUMBER NINE
Enjoyed Eight-Day
Trip To Colorado
Cover Several States On $500 Mile
Tour West-Enj0y Beau-
tiful Scenery

The Rev. Mr.. L. e. Kempton and
w. d. O'Gara returned Monday
noon from an eight-day automobile
trip to Colorado on which they
covered $500 miles. The route was
out by way Of Nebraska, and the
return trip was made through
Wyoming and the Black Hills of
South Dakota. Both gentlemen re-
port the climate of Colorado as
next to ideal and the scenery was
beautiful. Denver, the capitol city
Of 100000 inhabitants, is a city of
beautiful public buildings, homes,
and parks where shrubbery Is
profuse. Shrubbery and lawns are
a rich green but are kept that way
only through constant watering.
For several hours each day the
lawns and shrubs must be watered.
Because Of the shortage of water
in the midsummer, none but stone
or brick buildings can be built In
the city Of Denver, and only the
oldest edifices in the city are
frame buildings. Though Denver
is a large city, 1t lacks the tall
buildings that seem to go with our
metropolitan cities Of the East.
From Cheseman Park in the City
there is a point where it is possi-
BILE to see and locate twenty-seven
distinct peaks of the Rockies, all
Of which are over $4,000 feet in
height. The climate in Denver Is
very moderate. In the summer it is
cool. One Of the days they were
there it was 81 degrees and the
other 1t was only 80 degrees.
They visited also Boulder, nest
led at the very foothills Of the
Rockies, and where is located the
University Of Colorado. On one oc-
casion they motored to Colorado
Springs and climbed Pixies Peak,
an ascent so steep it is necessary
to make it by car in low gear. At
the peak the temperature was 46

Hot Weather Injuries
Crops; Horses SUITE,
Severely Threatens Horses I'm the
Field WOrk-Several Animals
Have Died

Untimely hot weather with tenn
peratures mounting within the
shadow Of the 100 degree mark in
dicated weather conditions in this
section for the past week. Monday
was one Of the hottest days, with
momentary relief Tuesday when a
cooling breeze sprung out Of the
west. On Wednesday citizens Of
the community suffered again as
the mercury mounted steadily from
the morning to near one hundred
again in the afternoon.
It has been dangerously hot for
farm work, and those farmers de-
pending upon horses were forced
to take harvesting slowly to save
the horses. Several deaths Of hors-
es were reported in the fields Of
the surrounding community. A de-
vastating effect has been wrought
upon the harvest which promised
to be bumper crop in the early
spring. Farmers are agreed that
prospects for an exceptional crop
never seemed more real than early
this spring. With nearly two weeks
Of hot weather the grain ripened
too fast and the heads have not
filled out as was expected. Oats
have been running fair in other
sections of the state as well as
barley and rye, and here 1t is ex-
pected that fair yield will be OBJ
tanned. The redeeming feature Of
the crop will be the enormous yield
Of straw Of which there was q
shortage last year in this section.
Hay, Of course, is to be found in
abundance.
With most Of the small grain cut
the fields are loaded with shocks
so thick that it will be difficult in
some places to drive the bundle
wagons between them. Corn is yet
in fair condition, but 1t will need
rain in the near future. Authori-
tative sources state that the corn
looks better than in the southern
part Of the state because Of the
more recent rains which this area
has enjoyed.
The veterinarians wish to add q
warning in regard to special care
Of cattle and horses in regard to
heat prostrations. AS mentioned
above some deaths have been re-
ported, and the veterinarians re-
port several cases as saved.

Consider
Erection of
Anew Dam
Federal and State Represen-
tatives Met With Local
Commissioners
PLAN SERIES OF DAMS
Will Be Designed To Include
Power Development
Unit

Members Of the Water, Light &
Power Commission met with sever
al Federal and State representa-
tives Tuesday night to consider
the proposition Of building a new
dam in this city. Those who at
tended the meeting were: Federal
Hydraulic Engineer Sven Norling,
Mr.. Fredericks, a member Of the
Minnesota Conservation Commits
sion, and Mr.. Knudson, County
Engineer for Federal Relief Pro
jects, Of st. Sloud.
These gentlemen have been MAX
ing survey Of Sank River from
st. Cloud to Sank Centre, having
in mind the construction of SER
les Of dams for water conservation
purposes. These dams will provide
small lakes to raise the under
ground water levels and for the
purpose Of fish propagation.
Mr.. Norling made a hasty and
tentative examination Of the dam
in this city, and stated to the Com
mission that q new dam is needed.
This work can be done under the
RWA Reaief Works Administra-
tion) and would have to be built
with the approval Of the Minneso-
Ia Conservation Commission. The
Federal government, under this
plan, will furnish all labor and
twenty-five per cent Of the material
cost. The City Of Sank Centre will
be required to furnish the balance,
or IS per cent Of the cost Of the
material. Until plans and specifica-
tions are prepared no accurate es-
innate Of the cost to the city can
be made. However, rough esti-
mate by Mr.. Norling, was given al
from $1,000 to $4,000 as the cost to
the city for a dam which would be
permanent and safe. In the cree.
ton Of the dam. the Water, Light
& Power Commission will work
with the State Highway Depart
ment.
Mr.. Norling also stated that
power, sufficient to provide the
electric needs of the city, for at
least three months of every year
could be developed in this project
The cost Of designing and building
the portion Of the dam to be used
in power development would have
to be borne by the city. However
this additional work can be done
as a PWA project, whereby the
Federal government would furnish
As per cent Of the cost, and the
net cost to the city Of the power
development unit was roughly es-
timated at $4,000.
Mr.. Norling will draw the plans
and prepare the specifications OF
the new proposed dam, and will de-
sign it SO that the power develop
ment unit can be added at any
time.
When the plans and specified
lions are completed the matter will
receive further consideration by
the Water, Light & Power Com
mission. At the present time the
construction Of new dam is under
advisement and no arrangements
have been made to either build
new or repair the old dam. The
proposition is a tentative one and
cannot be settled until costs and
plans and specifications are COM
pleted.

Tieo,s Sank Centre
From Asroplane Sat.
Sank Centre Correspondent Evil
IDENTIFY Used Imagination for
Wonderful News Story

We doubt, very much, IL the Sank
Centre correspondent, who inform
ed the Associated Press Saturday
that Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lind
bergh intended to stop in this city
while flying from Little Falls to
the Twin Cities, received his infor-
nation through an interview with
the Colonel. Hence, we believe the
item was merely conjecture and
written for public consumption as
a good news story. It is possible
that the Colonel and his wife aer-
oplaned over the city Saturday, as
the plane, according to information
answered the description Of the
Lindbergh air vehicle.
The old Lndbergh homestead To-
Gated on Highway II between this
city and Melrose, and the city Of
Sank Centre where the Coloneps
grandfather received treatment
while suffering from the loss OF one
Of his legs in an accident, can be
viewed very well from the air.
There are several good spots in
this community to land, one Of
them near the golf course, where
most Of the planes have been
landed in the past, and the Colonel
being an expert flier could have
landed there, il he wished, without
trouble.
The Colonel, who is modest and
busy man, probably circled the
community to view the spots where
his grandfather settled as pion-
eer, but we doubt, If the lack Of an
official airport deferred him from
landing here. To say that MAIN
Streeters" flushed deep red, is q
misstatement, as very few people
of the community knew that the
Colonel flew over the City. How
ever, let it be understood that the
people Of Sank Centre, like all 9TH
err communities, would have been
honored by q visit from the famous
aviator and his wife. The story to
the Associated Press follows:
Sank Centre, Minnesota
Main street flushed deep red

suspected he wrote directly OF
this home town Of his.
Embarrassed residents learn
ed Colonel and Mrs. Charles
Lindbergh flew 50 miles out Of
their way Saturday to drop In
on Sank Centre, which knew
him years ago as campaign
poster distr;kHtor for his ia
ther, the late congressman.
But Sank Centre, otherwise
fully modernized to greet trav-
elers, has no airport. Thus the
Lindbergh's red cabin plane,
cruising about for time, left
Sank Centre off the itinerary.
\ The incident may inspire of
ficials here to resume a survey
to provide landing field for
future guests.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh paid
a visit to Melrose Sunday. After
looking over the city he called on
his aunt, Mrs. Linda Seal, and his
cousin, Mrs. Huntemer, Of Brook
ings, s. D., and Billy and Bobby
Huntemer, who are visiting Mrs.
Seal at the Henry Otte cottage at
Big Birch Lake. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lindbergh spent Sunday afternoon
and evening at the lake.
