Enjoyed Trip
Through East
Interesting And Historical Sites
Visited-Inspected Large
Ocean Liner

Alphabetically the East did not
suffer the drouth conditions that
was experienced in the Middle
West, said Frank Pangburn on his
return from several weeks visit
with his son, c. A. Pangburn, in
Roselle, New Jersey. He returned
Wednesday evening, but Mrs.
Pangburn, who accompanied him,
chose a more leisurely route via
Buffalo, Detroit, and Chicago be-
fore her return to Sank Centre.
His through route brought him to
st. Paul from Elizabeth, New Jer-
sey, in only slightly more than
twenty-four hours.
The seaboard did not suffer from
drouth. Green things abound and
the rolling foothills of the noun
tains were a background for the
great peach and pear orchards.
Fields and fields of Jersey sweet
potatoes nicely matured will find
a ready market. Peanuts furnish a
main crop in eastern agriculture.
OF interest to farmers of this Sec
ton Mr.. Pangburn told of his visit
to one of the most modern and
largest dairy farms in this country.
At Plainsboro, New Jersey, he Wis
tied this farm with it's long rows
of barns, it's many workers and its
many cows where with electrically
powered milking machines fifty
cows are MIXED in twelve and a
half minutes. At the same time the
cows are washed and cleaned, and
during the operation the milk Is
purified. Agricultural commodities
that are regarded as quite common
place in this community are a val
liable necessity in the East. Milk
hovers around twenty cents a quart,
eggs are in the neighborhood OF
sixty cents, and butter Is higher m
eastern marts. Melons, sweet pota-
toes, and fruits are conversely very
moderately priced. Income, he no
ted, were appreciably higher IN the
eastern centers than in this section
of the country, but an income OF
half as much would go just as far
in this community.
With the heat Of a presidential
election gaining momentum the
situation in the east Is favorable to
the Republican party. Nowhere,
said he, did he see Roosevelt men,
and he covered quite few places
in the east. Plenty Of Landon but
tons were to be seen, but only a
few for Roosevelt.
Historically the east offered Mr..
Pangburn quite an education. He
visited towns noted as headquarters
for Washington's Continental Ar
my in the American Revolution.

Will Speak Over
KSTP TODAY
Chief George Fish VIII Take Part
In Fire Prevention Program
Today

George Fish, chief of the Sank
Centre Volunteer Fire Department,
left for st. Paul today ON invitation
to speak over KSTP. His talk will
be broadcast over the radio this
Thursday afternoon during the
hour between five and six o'clock
This program has been arranged
to promote and instill care in the
matter of fire prevention, and is
part Of a national program con-
Quoted this week, designated as
Fire Prevention Week throughout
the United States and its posses
sions and Canada.
Mr.. Fish is the oldest active fire
man, from standpoint of contin-
uous service in the state, and for
that reason has been honored with
a part in the program. Fifty-two
years ago last January he became
active in fighting fires in this city
and since then has given freely of
his time, both as a fireman and as
chief of the department.

Tuesday Marks Close Of Double
Credits and 5000 Bonus Offer
In Expansion Club Campaign
Ten O'Clock, October 18th, Is
Final Chance To Get
Extra Votes
(By A. HI. Dasinger)

(by "A. II. DaSlng0f)
Ten o'clock Tuesday night, Octo-
Der 13.
That is the hour, the day and the
date that should be firmly fixed In
the minds Of the Expansion Club
members.
The offer Of the $50 Extra Cash
Prize and the bonus of Double Gre
dts on all subscriptions expire
promptly at two hours before mid
might.
Judging from the comparatively
small number Of subscriptions turn
ed in during the past week it looks
just like a walk away for some
person as far as the winning Of the
$50 extra prize is concerned.
It is a difficult task to pick the
probable winner of this extra prize
for the race is a remarkably close
one. The results depend largely on
the work accomplished during the
few remaining days of the Double
'Em-Up" period.
A mere handful Of subscription
credits now may mean the $50 in
addition to your earnings in the
campaign. Therefore. 1t Is advisable
to get in every available subscrip-
ton NOW, TODAY and up to
TUESDAY NIGHT!
No member can afford to slacken
his or her pace today. To slow up
will not only mean the loss Of a
substantial sum in cash but it
means missing the best remaining
opportunity to pile up credits to-
wards the $671 Chevrolet or the
$3.50 Ford V-8 which awaits the two
best statesmen or saleswomen.
How will the fellow who finds
himself the winner Of a smaller
award feel when he sses that one
or two more subscriptions would
have meant one Of the two cars?
The surest way Is to make hay
while the Double Credit Sun is
shining. Hit while the iron is hot
for within a few hours the metal
will be cold and much harder to
shape into the desired form. The
campaigns office will be open until
10 O'Clock. Tuesday night.

Premium Winners of H0r-
veSt Festival announced
Fifth Annual Event Was
Fairly Successful-Sple
did Displays

Sank Centres annual Harvest
Festival held last Saturday Is
again a matter Of history. It was
staged according to advance plans,
although interest in some Of the
events was not what the commit
tee expected.
Entries in the display Of home
and farm products was not quite
as large as in former years, but
they were Of better quality through
out. This year there were ia en-
tries against $50 in the same de-
partment last year. A splendid dis
play of corn was shown at the Mer-
chants National Bank and the dis
play Of seed grains at the First
State Bank disprove the statement
of serious drouth in this commun-
ity this year. The list Of premium
winners in the home and farm pro-
duct display are published further
along in this article.
The sports program generally
drew large entries of boys and
girls, and each event was holly
contested. The tug-of-war events in
the morning and afternoon were
won by the farmers of west and
south respectively. The doll buggy
parade had but three entries, each
taking part in the prize money,
and the circus parade was nil ow-
ing to lack Of interest on the part
of young boys and girls.
The pavement dance in the even
ing was largely attended and all in
all the event was, quite successful.
There was something doing prac-
tically all day long, and most Of
those in attendance had an enjoy
able day. The premium winners

Campaign To
Prevent Fires
October 18th to 10th Set AS
Fire Prevention Week
By Proclamation

BY proclamations from the Pres
ident of the United States, the Gov
ernors Of al. of the states Of the
Union, and the Provinces Of Can
ada, the Mayors Of American and
Canadian Cities, National Fire Pre-
vention Week opened October 18th
and continues to October 10th.
George Fish, chief of the local vol
unteer fire department, asks the
cooperation Of the citizens of Sank
Centre, not only during this Fire
Prevention week, but during the en-
tire year. in campaign against
careless fire loss. T.
During this week it would be well
to look over your chimneys, stoves
and furnaces, rubbish piles, and to
J. eliminate fire hazards, so that dur
ing the winter, fires may be held to
a lower average than ever before.
Fire Prevention Week is the an
niversary of the great Chicago fire,
which occurred on October 8, 1871,
when great city was destroyed
because of human carelessness.
The serious situation caused by
fire loss throughout the land, Is
made clearer when we find that
each day, year in and year out, we
burn up an average Of five, church
es, fifteen hotels, one hospital, five
schools, four warehouses, two
theatres, six department stores,
nine public garages, three dry
goods stores, three printing plants,
ninety-six farms and three hun
dred and fifty-nine homes. At least
80 per cent of this daily loss is pre-
ventable and Is caused through
carelessness, thouFhtlessness or ig-
norsnce of hazards that cause
fires.

BERLIN BANK Wins
CLAIM AGA|NSTU.S
Court Opinion Has Effect of
Voiding Congressional
Resolution in Part.

In an opinion said to affect be-
tween S6,000,000 and s7,000,0 900 of
German claims against this Govern
ment, the United States Court of Ap-
peals today upheld the right of the
Deutsche Bank und Disconto- Gesell-
schaft Of Berlin to recover $3.50, 600
seized during the World War.
The Department Of Justice was ex-
pected to seek a review by the United
States Supreme Court.
The effect of the decision Is to
invalidate, in certain of its applica-
tions, resolution adopted by Con-
gress June 27, 1884, prohibiting pay
ment Of awards to German nationals
under the settlement of war claims
act so long as Germany remained in
arrears on payment Of awards to
Americans.
The court said the resolution is vio-
lative of the fifth amendment to the
Constitution so far as it prohibits
payments where claimants have COM
piled with the settlement Of war claims
act by consenting to the postponement
of return of 20 per cent of their seized
property. Funds collected under this
20 per cent agreement were for dis
tribution to American claimants
against Germany.
Claims of the Deutsche Bank were
allowed by the alien property GUS
todian in 1888, but payment was de-
layed because of attachment proceed
ings brought by other interests. which
were dismissed In May, 1884. Shortly
thereafter Congress adopted the reso-
luton stopping all such payments.

Missing Western High Boy, II,
Found in Dakota Relief Camp
Robert Cohen Located
by G-Men in SnOtU-
bound Shelter.
Father Leaves to Return
Youth, Gone Since
Last May.

Robert L. Cohen, 17-year-old West
ern High School student, who diSap-
peared mysteriously last May and for
whom G-men have been conducting
Nationwide search. has been To-
Gated by special agents Of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation In transient
camp in blizzard-swept South Dakota.
Cohen has been brought from the
camp by agents, who braved 40 de-
grees below zero weather and snow
blocked roads to get him. He will be
turned over to his father, Albert H.
Cohen of Lyon Park, Va, who already
is en- route to the Aberdeen, S. OAK,
field Office of the F. B. I.
The father was notified Saturday
night that the postmaster at Roch-
ford, S. Oak, about 80 miles west of
Rapid City, had recognized a picture
of the Cohen boy sent to him by
G-men as that of a transient in a
camp near Crystal, using the name
of Robert Ward.
Agents from the Aberdeen Office
were dispatched Immediately to the
camp and they reported by telephone
today that they have the boy.
Apparently the boy left home vol
unfairly, although his parents have
been at loss to find a motive.
The first clue indicating that young
Cohen was alive and absenting him
self voluntarily came December %,
when his mother received the follow
ing telegram from Rapid City: "Just
