Boy Scouts To Aid
In Conservation Work
Program Includes Feeding, Hous-
ing and Winter Care of Birds
"A Good Turn"

Sank Centre Boy Scouts, in res
ponse to national call to action,
will be presented the problem of
wild bird feeding this week, an
nounced Scout leaders. What &C
ton will be taken Immediately is
not definite, but project for next
winter is to be begun Immediately.
Bird housing is to be given consid-
cradle emphasis in this community
next winter. Not only pheasants
will be protected but all wild bird
life.
The original call came from
James E. West, national sport ex-
ecutive, and was transmitted to
Scouters of this section through j.
D. Virgins, Scout executive of the
Central Minnesota area. No expense
need be connected with the Scout
project. Suet nailed to trees near
a limb, bread crumbs thrown out
near the home, seeds and crumbs
thrown out in the country are some
of the simple things Scouts may do
in their spare time to aid the birds.
On Scout hikes bags Of crumbs
and seeds may be carried and
spread in sheltered places out Of
the reaches of the north wind. I'M
mediate attention to the feeding is
emphasized while if time permits
shelters, feeders, and special seed
food preparations may be made.
With the warmer weather and
melting snow open places are be-
ing noticed which will materially
aid in bird feeding. Warmer wealth
er permits them to scratch around,
but the situation still remains
acute, and is a likely good turn"
for local Scouts.

ter of building the highway from
Metre Grove north to the pavement
about halfway between this city
and Melrose.
An annual event in the commun-
ity will be sales or stunt day, to
be similar in nature to such offer
ings as sauer kraut day or pan
cake day held in other commun-
tiles. The local event, however, will
pertain to dairying. A committee of
four, appointed by the president,
will arrange for this event and
will also ascertain if the merch-
ants wish to stage monthly sales
days.
The officers of the club asked
us to state in the columns of the
Herald that the club is not spon-
soring a bank night, and that it is
impossible for the club to enter in
to group movements. In the mat
ter of advertising bank night or
cash night or any other of the var
ious so-called lottery plans through
the columns of the Herald, B. F.
Dubois, postmaster, stated that
the postal laws are such that it is
impossible for the local newspaper
to cooperate. Regardless of the
fact that other papers do publish
events as mentioned, it is impossi-
bic here for the reason that a pro-
test was made many years ago. The
blame for this situation cannot be
credited to the present postoffice
force, as it was enforced long be-
fore the present administration.
Neither can it be laid to the door
of the Herald as it was not our
wish that such advertising be bar
red from the columns of the Her
aid. The penalties for violation are
the loss of postal privileges, $1,000
fine and a penitentiary sentence.
The law has not been rigidly en-
forced, except where complaints
have been made to the United
States Postoffice Department in
Washington.

on July 80, 1885, and was therefore
just past fifty years of age at the
time of his death. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. T. Beal, of
Westport. He grew to manhood in
that community and served as mail
driver out of Westport until 1911
when he came to Glenwood and
with his brother, Harry, took over
the bus business. The business en-
terprise grew and in time they
took over the Rogers Hotel as well
as the Billiard parlors next door
and the large Beal Garage. He was
in the garage business until about
two years ago. He was married in
1913 to Tess Fredericks, Of West
port. He Is survived by his wife,

ness man. His rapid growth in
business activities showed his keen
judgment and ability. He was kind.
and had many loyal
friends in Glenwood and elsewhere
who mourn his sudden departure

Famyard Improvement
Interest Is Growing
VIII Meet At Padua Friday, March
18th, Commencing At
10 A. M.

Final plans have been made for
the minor project, Farmyard I'M
provement, to be given in three les
sons during March, April and May
through the cooperation of Mr..
Parker Anderson, extension forest
er, and other qualified horticultur-
lists.
There will be three training GEN.
tiers located in places most con-
venient for the majority Of groups.
The first meeting will be held in
Richmond Thursday, March II, at
which time Mr.. Anderson will be
present. Twelve groups will send
leaders to Padua for the meeting
on Friday, March 10 and the final
meeting in st. Cloud on Saturday,
March IA to where groups in east
ern Stearns will send leaders. The
lesson will be "A General Cleanup,
Farm Lawns and Windbreaks."
A large number of the poultry
groups are holding reorganization
meetings for the purpose of elect
ing new leaders for the minor
project. If conditions make it pos
sible to hold an organization meet
ing before the local leader training
meetings, the township chairmen
have been requested to appoint two
people to act as leaders in order
that the community group will
have an opportunity to start at the
beginning Of the project. Each
meeting, will be held from 10 o.
clock until four o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
Folks living on rented lands are
urged to enroll in the project. AL
though in some cases extensive
paintings cannot be done unless
through the cooperation Of the
landlords many suggestions will be
given to improve the comforts and
beauty of the grounds at practical
ly no expense and planned on a
short or long time basis. This pro-
ject will also stimulate the appre-
citation of individuals to the simple
things that can be done in order
that the family may enjoy the ma
tural beauties of their environ
ment There is still time for groups
or individuals to enroll by contact
ing the county extension office, st.

Discuss Hog Pro-
duction Economies
CONTINUED From Page One)

Der of hogs to produce let us say
$500 of income helps to build up a
surplus of pork and lard much
sooner than the man who needs a
much smaller number to produce
the same amount of net income.
Such matters as swine sanitation,
better pastures, approved grain ra-
tions and the market cycles in hog
marketing will be discussed. With
the use of charts and other infor-
nation Mr.. Zavoral will show the
months during which the heaviest
receipts are marketed and also the
months of high prices. Information
of this kind should be used in de-
termining the narrowing dates for
hogs in order that producers might
come in on price that is better
in certain seasons of the year. The
meetings will be open to anyone in
terested in the subject.

the basket. The quarter ended with
the locals leading 6 points, 6 to 0.
The second quarter droned on and
Walker handled the local scoring
during the second period with a
lone goal. Elver took the Prairie
first points with two free shots.
The half stood at 8 to 2. During
the third quarter Keldahl took a
gift shot and Decree got in a buck
ct, while Long Prairie got one more
free shot. 1t was not until the
fourth quarter that Long Prairie
scored a bucket with Wolf the hero
of the hour. The game was called
with the locals leading Is to Z, and
Keldahl closed scoring with goal
from the floor.
The boys had their instructions
and they followed them. They were
told to pass the ball and not waste
shots and that's what they did. The
ease with which they handled the
ball completely bewildered the
Long Prairie outfit and caused the
Sank Centre victory. Keldahl play
ed a great defensive game. He
mussed up more Long Prairie plays
all over the court than one would
think possible. All the fellows were
in there on the passing and due
credit is given to each man.
But not all is over yet. There are
still two good teams to beat. Thurs
day and Friday evenings should
hold plenty in store for local fans.
Last nights exhibition was not an
interesting contest. The ball lodged
too much in local hands to give it
any thrills. Comparatively speaking
the game was clean and surprising
ly free of fouls.

FIRE LOSS SMALL

Care exercised during the ex-
IRENE cold spell is given as the
reason that Sank Centre had no
fires during that period, while
other communities suffered disas-
trous conflagrations. There has
only been one or two minor fires
during the entire winter, an envia-
BILE record not equalled in many
cities the size of Sank Centre. For
this splendid care and cooperation
George Fish, chief of the Fire De-
partment, wishes to express the
thanks of all members to the pub
lie in general. The severe cold and
heavy SHOWS made it extremely diff
ficult to successfully fight fires in
other communities, and local fire
men appreciate the fact that they
were not called out during the cold
period.

courage traffic through this coun-
try to the northwest.
Mr.. Gritzmacher presented the

sured of the Osakis clubs whole
hearted support. The President Of
the Booster Club appointed COM
mittee to act with the local COM
mittee and units from Grey Eagle
and Melrose in the selection Of
proper advertising.
On Tuesday night Mr.. Gritzmach-
err attended meetings at both Grey
Eagle and Melrose and was assur-

which will be in pamphlet form to
be sent to tourist bureaus through
