 Men rose and women screamed In the doorway a figure loomed-a man whose face was covered by a strip of black cloth. "Get out oi here!" he shouted. All of you clear out!"
 There were others behind him They were coming in at the rear of the room and through the brok- en window--a dozen or more men, husky, sturdily-built fellows, all wearing masks, all armed with sticks or clubs.
 Out of here!" the leader shout ed again.
 Joe Gillaspie sprang forward. "You can't do this!" he cried. You got no right to come in here. This is a private home-u
 "Yeah? We'll, what do you think of this?" The fist of the man who had spoken smashed against Gillaspie's face.
 You've no right-!" Gillaspie repeated. The other man raised a club, brought it down against Gillaspie's head.

He swung it again landing a blow against another who let out cry of pain. The chair went crashing to the floor the back splintered.
 TCome on" the leader beloved and was answered with cheers that were profane, derisive.
 Gale and Josie, terrified, had drawn against the wall. "This way!' he said, motioning toward the door. His body shielded them as they pjushed forward, Get out as fast as you can," he said. Get to the next house! Anywhere"

be held at the Community Rooms
of the Court House, st. Cloud. G.
L. Arnold, of Watkins, president of

al Economics at the University of
Minnesota. DR.. Jesness will speak
on the topic Of the agricultural tar
if and foreign trade. All farmers
and others interested in a subject
of this kind are invited to attend
the meeting. This topic is particu-
larly of interest at this time with
so much conflicting information as
to the amount of imports and the
danger that is supposed to be
brought about by these imports as
far as the American farmer is
concerned. DR.. Jesness is one of
the best informed authorities on
this subject and most everyone can
gain a great deal Of first hand in
formation on the subject in ques-
ton. In addition financial reports
of the agricultural agent and the
home demonstration agent will like
wise be of interest to members who
are present.

Early,
Mail Early,
Postal Plea
Gifts, Greetings, and Letters
I Should be Mailed Ten Days
Before Christmas
HEAVY HOLIDAY MAIL
All Parcels Must Be Securely
Packed and Safely
Wrapped

b. F. Dubois, postmaster, advises
early Christmas shopping, so that
cards, letters and parcels may be
mailed for early delivery. The
large increase in mail during the
days preceding the holidays usual
ly taxes the postoffice force to the
limit, and it is impossible to handle
this great mass of added matter eff
ficiently and promptly within a
few days. All gifts, greetings, ETC.,
should be mailed at least a week
or ten days before Christmas, ac-
cording to distance. This will make
1t certain that they are received
before Christmas Day, and will aid
postal employees to spend the
Christmas holiday with their fam
lilies. There will be no mail deliv-
cries on Christmas Day.
All parcels must be securely
packed and wrapped. Use strong
paper and heavy Irvine.
Umbrellas, canes, golf sticks,
should be reinforced their full
length by strong strips of wood
tightly wrapped and tied or other
wise sufficiently wrapped to with
stand transportation. When three
or more are tied together, wrapped
and tied, no reinforcement Is nee
essary.
Hats: Pack in strong corrugated
or fibre-board boxes. Ordinarily
pasteboard hatboxes must be craft

anthropists Hundredth
Birth Anniversary

A framed production from an oil
painting of Andrew Carnegie is
now in the possession of the local
Bryant Library. The painting will
grace the walls Of the library
room. The picture has been sent to
all Libraries, endowed by the great
philanthropist, by the Carnegie
Corporation on the event Of the
hundredth anniversary Of his birth,
in 1885. The anniversary was mark
ed on last Monday, November 25th.
To the local library Mr.. Carnegie
gave 10000 dollars in 1903 for the
construction of a library building,
and the contract was let in April
of that year. An added thousand
dollars was given sometime later
to take care of necessary repairs
on the building. The books and
other furnishings have been pro-
vided by the City Of Sank Centre.
This local unit represents only a
small part Of Mr.. Carnegie's work.
The Carnegie Corporation, heavily
endowed in 1911 by the aged indus
trialist, built 2505 libraries through
out the United States up to and in
Guiding the year Of 1913. Mr.. Car
negie died in 1919, and his libraries
stand as a monument to his great
work In this country.

CLASS PROGRAM
Brought To This City BY
Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Carr, Leader

The Glenwood Senior High
School A Cappella Choir, under the
able direction Of Maurice f. Carr,
brought to an audience Of five
hundred Sank Centre music lovers
one Of the finest programs of clas-
steal choral music ever presented.
Tuesday evening in the high school
auditorium the Choir, of approx
mately one hundred voices, thrilled
the audience with its expression
and clarity. The trip was made
possible by the Glenwood Chamber
of Commerce, which organization
furnished the transportation.
The concert opened with two
numbers sung in Latin and then
finished the first part with two
chorales offered by. the full choir.
The Girls Mendelssohn Club offer
ed Twilight" and encored with
that beloved old song, Mighty Like
Rose" This organization found
real balance and sweetness of
tone. The full choir sang then an
other choral number followed by
Evening Song"-inscribed to the
choir-and written by Mr.. Carr
himself
The intermission followed and
Supt. w. A. Kohl introduced Supt.
Nordgaard, Of the Glenwood school,
who told of the growth Of the or
ganization and the willingness of
both Mr.. Carr and his splendid
group to cooperate at all times.
A trumpet trio broke the inter-
mission and they played the diff
cult 1.-THE Three Kings" by Smith.
The harmony Of this selection is
superb, and the execution of these
young trumpeters had indeed an in
dividual style. The selection closed
with difficult triple tonguing
strain in which the boys timing
and tone color was commendable.
The Choir then swung into the last
group of their selections which en-
braced three numbers by that FAM
Gus Choir Leader, F. Melius Christ
hanson, director of st. Olaf's Choir.
One Of them, which found most
favor with the audience, was his
'Tullabye on Christmas Eve" with
Florence Velander carrying the
soprano solo with Choir accompan-
iment. Miss Velander has a sweetly
clear voice and it stood distinctly
apart from it's accompaniment.
This number was used again as an
encore at the close Of the program.
It is an inspiration to see such
a splendid group of young people
singing such high type music, and
there is no finer expression OF
choral music than the A Cappella
Choir. 1t is a credit to the patient
efforts of Mr.. Carr and the willing
ness of the large group that the
blended harmonies, the standings,
the perfect expression have been
achieved. They were assisted on
several selections by Miss Elsie
Gandrud, at the piano, and Mrs.
Ralph Forde, with the violin. The
trumpet trio is under the direction
of Orrin Torrison. The Sank Gen.
tire Schools and the local music
public are deeply grateful to the
organizations of the Glenwood
Schools.

rector, may be able to make Sank

Only II But This Boy
Can Talk Turkey
Robert Plant, Jr, of This City
Gains Ren0wn As Turkey
Fancier

Robert Plant, Jr., OF this city
has become quite adept in the rails
ing Of turkeys, and through his eff
forts in All work has received con-
siderable renown as a turkey fan.
cier. Sundays Minneapolis Tri-
bune contained pictures of Robert
and his turkeys, which were pub
lished in connection with an article
"Only IL But This Boy
Can Talk Turkey" The article fol-
lows:
A 12-year-old Sank Centre
boy, Bobbie Plant, has become
one Of the most enthusiastic
participants of the Minnesota
4-H clubs turkey raising pro-
ject.
Bobbie despite his age, has
definite ideas on how to go
about raising turkeys. The re-
suits Of his efforts this year
lead him to believe he has some
of the best turkeys in the state.
So enthusiastic is Bobbie over
his work with turkeys, that he
wrote the following Letter to The
Tribune:
II have always liked the
bronze turkey because of its
beauty, its color and it's tame
ness, so joined the All club
project in turkey raising.
my mother gave me Is eggs
and I set them under Queen,
one of our turkey hens. I used
to have to go out and take her
off the nest to eat as she was
so eager to hatch her birds. I
had to watch her very careful
ly. My eggs were supposed to
hatch out May is, and to my
surprise I went out May IL and
spied little turkey head peep
ing out from under Queens
breast. I called him Early"
because he Matched out three
days early.
1T cost me nine cents a
pound to produce my birds.
Daddy and I thought my tur-
keys needed their growth so I
did not crowd them to get them
fat for our Stearns county fair,
but I believe have some of the
best turkeys in the state of
Minnesota"
