18th Annual
ScOuterS Meet
$50 Men From Six States
Attend Two-Day Meet
ing of Region Ten

r. B. Kowalke returned Sunday
from a two-day session in st. Paul
attending the 18th annual Scout
ers convention Of Region Ten to-
gether with $50 men from six
states, more anxious than ever to
begin Immediately the program for
centralizing Scouting in this city.
The plan with the Rotary as spon-
soring organization Is meeting with
approval and its complete develop
ment Is expected within the week.
Drawing $50 men from the states
of Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Wyoming, Montana and part
of Wisconsin, the convention
boosted as speakers George A.
Fisher, deputy Chief Scout Execu-
tive, and Harold F. Pote, Director
of Personnel, of National Head
quarters. Among this group were
ten Scouters from the Central
Minnesota Area, in which area is
Sank Centre.
Forcefully bringing to that group
the great work still lying open to
Scouting, members of the Sioux
Falls Council made these poignant
observations. It was estimated that
since John Dillinger became Pub
lie Enemy No. the cost to this
nation in regard to his case would
have operated the average Scout
Council, under the present opera
tions, for a period of 458 years.
Going further, they observed that
the national crime bill in a single
year would be sufficient to erect
court houses on both sides Of the
street with each thirty feet apart,
IA stories high and costing 2 mil
lion dollars each-this street to
extend from Sioux Falls to st. Paul.
Scouting expenditures on nation
al scale would build less than two
of these court houses. The men
were told of the responsibility that
Scouting has toward crime proven
tion in the future.

Errors are unavoidable when so
many subscriptions must be hand
led in short time.
The publishers wish to thank the
subscribers, for their kind consid-
Grafton and friendliness to the
statesmen. At the best 1t Is not an
easy task and their work was heart

In last weeks Herald we publish

would like to call attention to two
local candidates, who aspire to the
office of representative in the Leg
islature Of the First of the 46th
District. These two candidates,
John Ceynar and Fred Lux, are
known to practically everyone in
the district. Both are excellent men
and will be able to represent the
district from which they wish to be
elected.
In the race for Congress will be
found the names of Harold Knut-
son, Republican: Jos. Kowalkowski,

into the merits of the candidates,
but do urge everyone regardless of
party affiliation to vote.
In the matter of the two amend
ments which have been placed be-
fore the electorate, blank vote is
the same as no vote, as to carry
the amendments must have a mai
ority of all votes cast. Amendment
No. 1, provides for the exchange of
state and Federal or privately
owned lands. It is designed to place
all state lands in one or more large
tracts, as the Legislature may pro-
vide. Amendment No. 2. nrovides

road tax will not be exempted, nor
will township, city or county levies
be exempted. However, state levies
may and will be imposed to pay in
debtedness of the state incurred
prior to January 1, 1887. It's adop-
ton will pave the way for a new
tax, and as provided can be taxes
on royalties. occupations, sales, re-
ceipts, incomes, inheritances, gifts,
franchises or licenses, or
upon property on the basis of gross
earnings or tonnage or upon intan-
gibles of every kind.

Pendergast Building Quilted
BY Flames Sunday
Morning
RUINS BOWLING ALLEY
Unger Furniture Co., And
Ness Coffee Shop Losses
Great

Three Sank Centre firms suffer-
ed severe losses when fire broke
out in the Pendergast building on
Third Street Sunday morning. It is
estimated that the total loss as a
result Of fire, smoke and water,
would reach about $4,000.
AS near as could be ascertained
the fire was discovered at about
8:45 o'clock, when Mrs. L. B. Ness,
proprietor Of the Coffee Shop,
heard a noise in the rear of the
restaurant and went to investigate.
She saw flames through the wall,
near a chimney, and Immediately
turned in an alarm.
Mrs. L. B. Ness in a statement to
the Herald stated that her loss
would exceed $4,000, and that she
carried some insurance. Henry
Thiegs, proprietor of the bowling
alley, also located in the Fender
CAST building, suffered loss of
about 500; he carried no insur-

ance. The loss of the Unger Furni-
ture Co., in stock was estimated at
$4,000, and the loss in damage to
their building was $4,000 The own
ers of the Pendergast building,
which was Quilted by flames. have
suffered severe loss. The I'm
ger Furniture Co., and the own
ers Of the Pendergast building
were partially covered by insur-
ance on their properties. OF course,
as is usually the case in a fire
such as occurred Sunday, the loss
Is greater than estimated.
Mrs. Ness says she was the first
person to discover the fire, when
she saw the flames through the
wall near the chimney. How the
fire originated is not known, but it
is thought it started from a spark
or defective chimney. H. Thiegs,
proprietor of the bowling alley, was
across the street, when he noticed
the fire. He went into his place of
business and found flames coming
through the wall. He said he i'm
mediately turned in an alarm. He
later turned in another alarm and
then went to the fire hall and tried
to ring the bell, when the siren
sounded. It was shortly after this
that the glass in the front door
collapsed, presumably from the
smoke and gas which had accum-
ulated in the building.
When the department arrived the
fire had gained such Roadway, that
1t was necessary to play all the
hose line possible on the flames,
which were still confined to the in
terror of the structure. The work
done by the fire department was
equal to that of the best salaried
organizations, and it was through
their efforts that the flames were
confined to the building. It Is Of
record that in the history Of the
present fire department there has
never been a fire which went from
the confines of the building in
which 1t started. This record was
maintained Sunday. The work of

Spurred by a second half injury
to Bellinger, an important cog in
the line, and the fact that the APP
parently driving attack of the Har-
veymen had begged down, Glen
wood powered their way to the
Sank Centre goal twice to score
over the locals 10 to 6. Winning
their first game Of the year, Glen
wood displayed a surprising rally
in the second half that sent the 10
Gals retreating on an alert defens-
i've.
A single factor began the touch
down march of the locals late in
the first quarter A Glenwood back
Of the field, where running was
perilous. While they gained from
that point, it might. have resulted
in a longer march II he had taken
that ball to the good side Of the
field. Changing at the quarter put
the locals in position to score,
for the icy south half Of the field
was a distinct disadvantage to
them in the first quarter. Arvig
and Ethun, alternating behind
some driving interference cracked
through for two first downs and
about thirty yards. In the vicinity
of the goal the Glenwood team put
on a brilliant defense holding the
Sank Centre attack for eight con-
secutive plays. Cracking to the two
yard line Arvig was short, but in
three plays they had completed
first down on the one yard line.
But they lost the ball on downs.
The locals got a break when the
punt was short and Arvig squirmed
his way back to the Is yard line.
On one play they slashed within
the Glenwood five yard line, and
Arvig in the clear slipped and fell
over the goal. The play was called
back and a pass with Walker re-
ceiving from Arvig into the end
zone scored. They missed the con-
version point.
Glenwood blocked a punt deep in
important territory and In four
plays pushed the ball over the goal
cracking our own center. Their
conversion was good. Their final
counter started with sweeping
aerial attack that advanced them
thirty yards in two completed pass
es. On the eighteen yard line they
cracked through the line with the
hole opening wide and Wilson
scored on the one play. Their kick
was not good.
The initial kickoff went deep in
to Glenwood territory. But the re-
ceiver nicl,ing his way got loose to
midfield. The locals were in hole
on their own twenty-three yard
line. An incomplete pass, a reverse,
and play stopped cold gave the
ball to the locals. Arvig picked up
six yards and Hoffman added two,
and they punted. Glenwood punted
back as the line smeared them on
a five yard loss. Arvig in two plays

NOTICE

Remarks made about the
street that there was delay in
answering the call are unjusti-
fable. The report to the opera
tor was to the effect that it was
a chimney fire, to which we
never respond by fire alarm. I
received the report and was at
the scene of fire within 2h or
three minutes. That is all the
delay there was. The results
would have been no different in
that time. There is no blame to
he attached to the telephone
operator. Any contrary reports
are erroneous.
