supervisor of Music, Sank Centre)
Sank Centre Public Schools have
musical faculty according to re-
suits of study recently carried on
in the music department of Sank
Centre High School. 1t was found
that very small percent of the
high school students are active per-
formers of music. A large percent,
however, show an appreciative in
terest in music.
In ranking radio programs in or
der of popularity, it was found that
the orchestras of Wayne King and
Fred Warning were popular favor
ties with both teachers and stud
ents. Teachers, however, placed
Fred Warning first and Wayne King
second, while students had this Or
der reversed. From there on the
classical programs were predomin-
ant in the choice of faculty men,
bers, while students showed prefer
ence for popular music. The mai
GRITTY of the students listed, what
musicians consider, good jazzy or
chestras. 1t was encouraging to
see that only a few had listed real
ly cheap" radio programs as their
choice.
The detailed results of this study
are as follows:

Librarians Attend
Two-Day Convention
Continued from Page One)

Of similar institutions in Spain
How the library fitted in with their
life and customes proved an inter-
esting topic. Miss Methven, who re-
viewed several non-fiction books
read one of especial interest to the
group. She reviewed Portrait of
a Library" At p. m, two groups
were assembled to discuss prob
lens. In one was the public Ii
brarians led by Clara F. Baldwin,
at the other were assembled the
school librarians who were led in
discussions by Miss Harriet A.
Wood.
Saturday mornings meeting was
an open round table where the
county library service was laid
open as it is in different sectors of
the state. Miss Penrose, of s..
Cloud, explained the set-up as they
have it there. Mrs. Mozart, of De-
troit Lakes, told how they had
worked to finally get a total Of
forty schools into the service
there. Miss Norris of International
Falls, explained the work they are
doing in providing reading material
to every person in that county.
Miss Madue Davis, of this city, ex-
planned how the library service had
been of such benefit to the rural
school, and how the addition of the
circulation to the inadequate col
lection of the rural school had
touched every phase of study cours-
es. Sank Centre was the first to
have such a system in this county
according to Miss Lindeloff who
explained the set-up as it exists in
the fourteen schools who were par
ticipators in the service this past
year.
A visit to the Home School with
specially arranged trips through
out the cottages and the different
departments with special attention
given to the Library was the clos
ing chapter Of the convention. Miss
Inez Patterson was hostess at tea
following the inspection of the
School,
Detroit Lakes has been located
as the seat of the convention in
1897 with definite dates to be de-
cided later. Miss Casa B. Selness,
of Glenwood, succeeded Miss Win
zenburg as president, and Miss
Margaret Ludenia, of Morris, was
elected secretary of the group. Miss
L;ndeloff of the local Bryant Lii
brary was the retiring secretary.

ident.

Merrymakers Will
Perform On May y

system.
Money derived from the offering
will be used to purchase clothing
for needy students, as well as for
the care Of teeth, testing of eyes,
and a hearing test. The latter,
which will be conducted early next
fall, is a costly venture, as an aud
iometer Is necessary for the test.
There are only two of these de-
vices in the state, one at the
School for the Deaf at Faribault,
and one is the property Of the
League of Hard Hearing in st.
Paul.
The school has many calls for
need over and above the amount
designated by the city, and there
are many cases not entitled to To-
cal relief, which can be aided
through the fund derived from the
free will offering. Therefore, it is
DESTROYS that everyone give as
freely as possible, so that the good
work may be continued.
Preceding the program the Sank
Centre band will give a concert
from 7:30 to s o'clock, when the
curtain will rise and the fun show
will be on in full swing. Wherever
the Merrymakers have played be-
fore they have been heralded as
clever entertainers.
A six o'clock dinner will be given
at the Masonic Temple Friday ev-
ening, May %, at which the men,
bers of the Merrymakers cast will
be entertained, and to which mem
bers of the Masonic Lodge are in
vited. The cost of the dinner will
be SOC per plate. Tickets will be
sold in advance.

OFT-TOLD RULES FOR AUTO
DRIVERS WHO LOVE SAFETY

To drive with safety on the high
way is not an easy task for morton
ist when he not only has to plan
how he must operate his car, but
think what other drivers are going
to do in cars circulating around him.
Here are a few simple rules which
may prevent an accident.
Obey all traffic and parking regu-
lations.
Never pass cars on hills, curves or
at crossings
Consider the rights and privileges
of others.
Signal for stops and turns watch
the car ahead.
It doesn't pay to take the fright of
way to seriously.
Slow down at crossings, schools,
and dangerous places.
Keep to the right and comply with
road markings and signs.
Keep the mind on driving and an
ticipate sudden emergencies.
Be sure brakes are in good work.

Good Market for
Graded Lambs

Sheep men who have sold their
lambs on graded basis have been
well pleased with prices received.
They are learning that they always
receive the best market price on the
day that they are sold. The only way
that more money can be secured is
to sell to somebody who in turn
loses money when he ships to mar
ket. This happens very, very seldom.
Lamb raisers who have been sell
ing comparatively are not only get
ting more money for their lambs but
they are also learning better produc
ton methods thereby They find that
good rams are one of the requisites
for producing good and choice
lambs. Other things that tend to pro-
duce top lambs are better feeding,
trimming, and stomach worm con-
troll.
Sheep men who need good pure
bred rams will be interested in the
sale to be held at Boone on August
9th. Most of the rams in this sale
will be from leading Virginia f1ocks.
The sale will be held at Henry
Hardin's Barn on u S. Highway 221,
one mile east of Boone.

Maryland Farmer
Has Trouble with
Steers From West

Roy Reeder, Maryland farmer
says it will be long time before
he buys any more of those fence
jumping, range-roaming steers from
the western plains.
When the drought was threatening
the animals with starvation in their
native West, Reeder, livestock
dealer, purchased II of the steers
and turned them loose in a fine pas
ture on his farm.
After what they had gone through
on their native range, he said, he
thought nothing could drive them
from his lush pasture land. But he
found out he was mistaken.
These animals had been used to
the wide open spaces. They did not
like his pasture at all. Chatting at the
prospect of confinement, they leap
ed the fence and headed for Red
Hill, a wooded mountain-side, no
tOriouS in prohlb1tlon as the haunt
of moonshiners.
Reeder called his friends in and
they set out for roundup. But the
Maryland cowboys were weak in
their technique. Try as they would,
they could not catch single steer.
Finally, they hauled out their rifles
and went after the cattle with hunt
ing weapons. They manager to bag
four of them, Shooting one four times
in the head before bringing it down.
Seven of the animals are still at
large and Reeder and his helpers are
still after them.

the missing airman was Samuel

Bathers were watching the plane

from the steps of the Kansas capitol,
the Republican nominee expressed
complete adherence" to the Repub-
lican platform and then turned to
the New Deal record"
'The Nation has not made the
durable progress, either in reform
or recovery, that we had the right to
expect" Landon said. x The
New Deal has fallen far short of
success. The record shows that in
1888 the primary need was jobs for
the unemployed. The record shows
that in 1896 the primary need still
is jobs for the unemployed. xxx
'The country is ripe for recovery.
We are far behind in expenditures
for upkeep and improvements and
expansion. x Once all this con-
sumner demand is released, the prob
lem will be not where to find work
for the workers, but where to find
workers for the work. xxx
"We must be freed from incessant
governmental intimidation and hos
tility. We must be freed from exces-
sive expenditures and crippling tax
alton. We must be freed from the
effects of an arbitrary and uncertain
monetary policy. And, through a
vigorous enforcement of the anti
trust laws, we must be freed from
private monopolistic control"
