One Of Gity:S Oldest Land

EkStrand,S M0ned
To Bjone Building
Business Changes And Improve
ments Noted On Third and
Main Streets

Ekstrand's Hardware is now 10
Gated in the Bjone building on
Third Street, to which location the
firm moved it's stock during the
weekend. The building has been
remodeled and new fixtures for
display and storage have been in
stalled. Mr.. Ekstrand states that as
near as possible they will arrange
the interior along the lines of the
modern store of the Hall Hardware
Co. Other improvements contem-
plated in the near future will pro-
vide a splendid store for this firm.
The Unger Furniture Co., is re-
modelling the interior of its build
ing, which was damaged in the
fire which occurred in November.
This project entails considerable
work on both the first and second
floors. The rug room has been COM
pleted, and at the present time
work in the large room on the
floor and woodwork is being done.
The Gopher Prairie Inn Is also
installing q new ceiling and side
walls, which were badly smoked In
the fire, which occurred in that
block sometime ago. This will be
a noticeable improvement in that
establishment.
Both Of the store spaces in the
Pendergast building, which was
Quilted by fire, are about ready for
occupancy. The west store space is
now occupied by the Fire Salvage
Co.. which is disposing of the Mo
del stock salvaged from the fire.
Both of these store spaces have
been splendidly remodeled, and the
interior appearance is all that could
be desired for a modern store.
Workmen are now busy rebuild
ing the Model building on Main
Street. They are lowering the cell
ing, and work will progress as
speedily as possible. The new build
ing, we understand, will be Of cne-
story construction, with an up-to-
date front and display windows
and will be modern throughout.

Dear Ed
Couldn't help but remember
you at this time of the year
even though it isn't more than
a brief note. Have read every

conferred on this paper by
friends who have heard of Sank

You can boast of the extent Of
your circulation when it is read
by folk 1000 miles away.
know I should have written
you much before this, but it
seems that there were always
other things to be done. Pro

and tell you something about
this country and especially this

to go skating soon, that is If the

Peace Move
Display At
S. C. Library
Contains Literature Denounc-
ing War And Promoting
Peace-Timely Showing
4 SERIOUS QUESTION
Displays Plaque Containing
Andrew Carnegie's View
On War

A new and attractive display on
the Peace Movement invites Sank
Centreites to the local Bryant Lii
brary this week. At a time when
Europe is again the finder box only
awaiting the match to ignite 1t,
Miss Eloise Ebert, librarian, deem
ed 1t a pertinent time to display
materials designed to better &C
quaint persons with the interna-
tional peace movement.
The display does not disregard
the factor of patriotism, but exhib-
its flags of the United States and
the table is draped with red, white,
and blue bunting. Arranged on the
table are the books, pamphlets, and
magazines in which may be found
material denouncing war and pro-
noting peace. This display will be
exhibited for some time continuing
through the time of Washington's
and Lincoln's birthday anniversar-
les.
Among the most authoritative
books is Peace with Honor" by
Milne, who explains that too many
nations enter war to protect their
national honor. At the cost of
thousands of men, said Milne, do
they attain national honohf There
is a host of literature on the late
munitions investigation and the ex-
posal of the munitions racket.
Taking the Profits out of War" is
one of the most enlightening arti-
cles ON that angle. Further argu-
ments denouncing war are shown
in the relative costs to the govern
ment in departments of war and
social activities. Other books in
clude Religion Renounces War
and Millions of Dictators.' Miss
Ebert is of the opinion that much
Roadway can be gained by reading
fictional books written by men who
participated in the late War. So
the display has several of those
books too.
Conferred on the table is a large
plaque setting forth Andrew Car
negie's views on war. That famous
library founder said: Surely nc
civilized community in our day car
resist the conclusion that the kill
ing of man by man, as means OF
settling international disputes, is
the foulest blot upon human so.
ciety and the greatest curse Of hu.
man life. And that as long as men
continue to kill one another they
have slight claim to rank as civil
ized."
Persons of this community are
invited by Miss Ebert and her as
sistant to view the display and to
read the suggested material.

ScOutnaSter
r. Kowalke
Gets Award
For Outstanding Work In Re-
organization of Scouting
And Membership

Scoutmaster r.. B. Kowaake was
awarded for Scoutmaster Member
ship when several local Scouters
attended the annual meeting OF
the Central Minnesota Council, Boy
Scouts of America, at the Breen
hotel in st. Cloud last evening
Wednesday. About $50 persons at
tended.
Mr.. Kowalke's award Is for mem
bership quota completed, and the
announcement of such award was
made by c. H. Richter. His men,
tion comes for his outstanding
work in the reorganization of
Scouting in Sank Centre along the
rather unique lines Of community
Scouting, and for having attained
the number of 81 Scouts, since fall.
Although he was honored with sew
eral other Scoutmasters in the
Council, his work was mentioned
as outstanding.
In the short business session that
followed the dinner, o. ]. Jerde
was again elected to the presidency
of the Executive Board, and N. M.
Ahles reappointed as finance chair
man. Singular among the awards
made was to Mr.. Jerde when he
was presented the award Of the
Silver Beaver. It is traditional to
go about selecting a man whose
outstanding work in youth move
ments has been measured by high
standards. Once a year and to one
man the award Is made.
Mr.. B. c. Tighe, Fargo educator,
in his address stressed the need
for a rehabilitation of this adult
world for the youth to grow in. He
stated that it was the leisure time
that got youth into trouble. There
the Scouting program fits. But, he
affirmed, it must not replace the
Home in the development of boy.
For the Home Is the foundation
of all civilization.
An amendment was submitted
and ordered by the gathering to be
in effect in regard to the time Of
meeting. Since weather and road
conditions have been bad during
the past years in January, it was
amended that 1878 meeting be
held on the second Wednesday of
October.

COIOred Lecturer
SPOKE at Public School
Also Addressed Rotary Club and
D0rcas Society On Negro Sit
uatiOn Az He Saw It

r. E. Bolton, colored singer and
lecturer, spoke at several meetings
Tuesday acquafnting various local
groups with the negro situation as
he saw 1t. He spoke Tuesday MORN
ing before the assembly at the
school, and that noon addressed
the Rotary Club. At the meeting
OF the Dorcas Society in the evening
he spoke to a group Of ladies.
Mr.. Bolton, and his accompanist,
Miss Young, presented a program
of songs and readings and short
lectures Many of his readings and
poems were Of his own compost
ton. He compared conditions and
the status of the southern and the
northern negro.
Before the Rotary Club he talk
ed on the share-cropper situation
as it prevails in the cotton belt to-
day. Mr.. Bolton is Of the opinion
that the newly invented cotton
picker would revolutionize the in
dustry if generally accepted. The
share cropper Is the negro worker
who farms the cotton and is set up
in business by the landowner for
a portion of the crop. His condi-
tions are socially undesirable, and
a revolution in the industry Mr..
Bolton felt might change the stat
us. In Mississippi. he quoted, most
deplorable educational conditions
exist. On the negro boy in that
state an average per capita per year
of 66 or 81 cents is expended on his
education. He continued that the
recent "pegging" of cotton prices
has harmed the southern cotton sit
ustion, and the fact that Russian
and Brazilian cotton raisers have
adopted, in a measure, this new
picker has endangered American
cotton markets.

he admitted. Naturally the de-

SPECIAL TEST
ROOM FACTOR
IN PH|LCO SETS
All Speakers Checked
In padded Cell"

The padded cell" in the sound
laboratory at Philco radio plant
In Philadelphia, can spin tales as
romantic as any ever created by
Aladdin and his magic lamp.
In that testing room, padded to
exclude all sound, every new radio
speaker is thoroughly checked to
insure reproduction of sound GOV
ering the entire range of the hui
man ear.
SILENCE "HURTS"
The silence achieved by that
scientifically constructed room
actually "hurts" the ear.
Walls, ceiling and floor are
heavily padded with rock wool.
The walls are made up of two rock
wool blankets two inches thick and
separated by air spaces running
from four to six inches across.
The walls are loosely hung from
the ceiling and without solid backs
which might tend to reflect sound.
FLOOR is HEAVY
The floor is made up of a full
ton-weight of loose rock wool, over
which is laid flame-proof linen and
a mesh of steel grating which alb
serbs rather than reflects sound.
That insulation and construc-
ton prevents reflection of any
sound whether of 80 or 10000
oscillations a second, although
speakers usually are geared and
tested for top range of something
like only 10000 vibrations a Sec
ond. Many persons are unable to
hear sounds in such high frequen-
cles as 10000 to the second.
While that is the limit, Philco
has a sound pressure measuring
instrument capable of measuring
frequencies considerably higher
than can be detected by the most
sensitive human ear in fact
the apparatus can detect sounds
audible only to insects!

Intervention of Cow Moose Was

C. .Lincke, veteran Alaskan of Cooper Creek on the Kenai Peninsula, near Seward. was saw ed from injury and possible death by a pet cow moose recently.
 Lincke said large moose pur- sued him near his home and that only by the timely interference of his pet moose was he able to take refuge in his root cellar.
 Apparently believing he was gong to get her her daily tidbit, the cow moose ran between Jack and the wild bull, blocking the animal until Lincke could get in to the root cellar. Later he en- erged and killed the wild moose with his rifle. Lincke said he be- lieved it was the same one that attacked Jack Lean, a guide, on h,s dog sled a few days ago.
