Duck Season To
Close Next Sunday
Deer Season VIII Open Nov. 10th
And Nimrods VIII Be Permit

With the closing Of the duck sea-
son next Sunday at p. m, hunters
of this section who want to hit the
trail into the deep woods are oiling
their larger muskets for the open
ing of the deer season November 20

While the ducks seemed to have
ducked the fire of many of the 10
cal boys, still many brought in good
bags. It is the general consensus OF
opinion that the duck crop was not
as plentiful in this section as was
earlier observed. If the local MINI
rods are not out on limb with
their plans, there are many who
will be on deck the opening of the
deer season. Last year more than

MADDENED BOAR
SLASHES FARMER
Twenty-fOur Stitches Taken In
Right Leg-Accident Occurred
Saturday Afternoon

So weakened from loss of blood
that administration Of ether could
not be made, Gilbert Mayors, farm
er of this community, took twenty
four stitches in his right leg Satur-
day afternoon after the member
had been slashed open by a mad
dened boar pig.
Rushed from the farm Of Pete
Weber, whose presence is attribut-
ed to saving the injured mans life,
Mr.. Mayors was taken 10 the near
est medical attention, Melrose. But
loss of blood from the cash extend
ing from mid-thigh to point be-
low the knee prevented the admin
istration of ether for dressing the
wound.
Mr.. Mayors had entered the pen
and failed to keep his eye on the
pig. without warning the boar
charged him, rendered him uncon-
scious on the first charge. With his
razor-like teeth the boar attacked
the leg of the man slashing the
flesh beneath two pair Of trousers.
AS the pig started his second
charge Mr.. Weber spied the form
of Mr.. Mayors on the ground. En-
tering the pen armed with a club,
he beat off the pig with two blows.
According to Paul Mayors, of
this city, brother Of the injured
farmer, Gilbert is resting quite
comfortably at his home now. He
is reported feeling well, but it is
expected it will be some time before
he can regain use Of the injured
leg.

Asks Assistance
In us. Census
Voluntary Enrolment of I'm
employed Will Start On
November 10th

Unemployment is major prob
lem. The happiness of our citizens
the prosperity of our country, is
dependent upon our people being
gainfully employed. Before correc-
tive methods can be developed, it is
essential that the Government
knows the extent of unemployment
or partial unemployment, and the
age and geographical location of
the unemployed.
Starting November 18th and end
ing November Goth, a voluntary en-
rollment of the unemployed will be
carried on through the Post Office
Department. This is a big under
taking and needs the support of
everyone. We must develop a very
active organization If we are to
make this enrolment one hundred
percent perfect. I will appoint
committee to work in conjunction
with our local Postmaster SO that
no one unemployed will be omitted
from the registration for the City
of Sank Centre.
Next weeks issue of the Herald
will give full details as to census,
the methods to be used in this
enumeration, the names of the
people appointed to the Committee,
and the way in which this Commit
tee will serve you In helping you

Lady Visits
Sank Centre
Says Intensive Study of Unit.
ed States Is Made In
Norwegian Schools

She sat there like any modern
American girl dressed sportily In
the popular skirt and a sweater
combination-this Norwegian CIR
who talked gaily and laughed free
ly. Her English is flawless. Yes, sht
had what we might call an accent
but you didn't notice it when you
talked with her. In fact her English
is better than most of our own.
Her name is Elizabeth Hanson
and her home is in Bergen, Norway
Miss Hanson arrived here last Sat
urday and is a guest at the home OF
the Misses Josephine and Annabel
Emerson and with Mr.. and Mrs.
Donald Hanson. She came here af-
ter a ten months stay in England
and spent some time in New York
and Chicago. She is cousin of
Donald Hanson of this city.
America is just exactly what !
expected" she said. Intensive
studies are made of this country in
Norwegian schools. What impress
ed her most3 It was the motor
cars. Not the traffic so much, but
the great numbers of automobiles.
Most difficult to get accustomed to
in this country, she said, are the
long distances. 1t takes SO long to
get anywhere.
To our own Minnesota city she
offered a compliment. After visiting
New York, Chicago, and other east
ern centers, she said that Minnea-
polls was the prettiest Of the Amer
lean cities. New York was fascinat-
ing to her, but her ten months stay
in England and London had con-
WINGED her that she likes London
the better of the two.
When asked If Sank Centre didn't
feel a long way from home. YES
she said, "it's a long way. But II
doesn't feel that way" Her father
had visited in Sank Centre at the
Emerson home before her. She had
heard of our city through him. In
fact, she pointed out, they had a
map of the United States at home
with Sank Centre clearly marked

RETURNED FROM
WESTERN TRIP
War Talk Prominent In California,
Says George OGara On
Return

War talk is prominent in Califor-
mia and the far-reaching effects Of
the Chinese-Jap undeclared war has
made itself felt in the sunny state,
George OGara said on his return
from a trip in the west.
In Sacramento and other cities
in Chinese shop windows are plac-
ards directing the attention Of Am
orleans to the fact that Japanese
are unfair to China. Presumably
public sentiment favors them, Mr..
O'Gara pointed out, for the Japan
csc have not retaliated with their
propaganda. Coastal defense in the
mountains around San Francisco
bristle with guns. At the waterfront
he saw a ship headed for the
Orient loaded with supplies for
American Marines.
But historical points interested
him more. During their stay in
Sacramento he visited Suffers Fort
and reviewed lie tragic tale of SUIT
ter's Gold. He saw the stagecoach
that Horace Greeley was taken in
WA1Ch hC was AhOhAA6 S0AAPeAA6h
speeches. When the sun goes down
out there, it's dark, Mr.. O'Gara OBJ
served. There is no twilight.
He visited, too, Carson City, the
small city that is the capital of
Nevada. It used to be his home, and
there is the fifth largest Capitol IL
brary in the United States.
On the San Francisco waterfront
he boarded a vessel headed for
Sweden bearing a cargo of lumber.
Not one on board could talk Eng
lish, and it was with. difficulty he
found out that the cook kept boil
ing kettles on the galley stove
when the ship was rolling, with the
aid Of clamps.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Gara returned
from their months trip last Thurs
day. In Sacramento they had visit
ed with their daughter and hus-
band, Mr.. and Mrs. Don Barron,
and with Mrs. w. J. Barron and
daughter, Mary Margaret. They
covered 64O0 miles without mishap.

CONSIDERED REPORTS
Recommend Change On The
Walker Corner To ELM
mate Accidents :

At the Community Club meeting
held in the club rooms Thursday
evening of last week, Secretary
Walt Gritzmacher announced the
purchase Of Christmas decorations,
which is planned will be put up for
lighting before Thanksgiving Day.
The decorations will consist Of $500
feet of roping, eight stars, SO
wreaths and a number Of small
trees to be placed along Main and
Third Streets in the flag pole holes.
These decorations are more elab-
crate than any the Community
Club has had in the past. The rop-
ing will be draped in zigzag fash
ion across the streets, and where
the roping crosses a star will be
hung. The wreaths will be placed
on the white way posts, and alto
gether the decorations should form
a splendid sight.
s. G. Schwarzbauer reported on
the trip made to st. Cloud, at
which time a committee from the
local club, and representatives of
Lyman Prairie, Belgrade and Pa
dua, met with the County Commits
sioners to discuss added snow pillow
equipment for Western Stearns
County. The committee received a
promise for added equipment for
this end of the county, and also ad-
ditional snow fence. It was an
nounced that Adolph Ebensteiner
will remain in this city with his
snow pillow, instead of moving to an
other location as recently announc-
ed.
Andrew Nelson, chairman Of the
Good Will Days, made financial
report on the celebration. The total
amount spent on these two days
was $523.57, of which the Commun'
ity Club paid $4,000. There are q
few bills still outstanding which
will drive the Community Clubs
share to about 5000.
Complaints regarding the numer-
Gus accidents which have occurred
at the Walker corner, on Highway
SO, were called to the attention OF
club members. The club highway
COMMITTEES was instructed to confer
with the State Highway depart
ment relative to the dangers of the
corner and means for correcting
the same.
w. D. Gallup, commander Of Ro-
bert Swift American Legion, asked
the clubs cooperation in plan for
fingerprinting the children Of this
community. He stated that the Le-
gion is working with the Federal
Government on this project. This
is an absolute proof of Identified
ton and is urged by the govern
ment. The Sheriff's office has the
cards for this purpose and will
take the fingerprints without cost
Adult fingerprinting will be on a
voluntary basis.

Sank Centre
Defeated By
"Old Rivals
Melrose Took Harveymen By
Score of IS to 13-Fri-
day Afternoon

It's happened before. That Sank
Centre power attack that blazes for
rs or 80 yards, drives all before it
in an early minute touchdown. And
then boys down. Some place some
thing happens, the jig Is up, and
after such stellar opening perform
ance victory is snatched from them.
Friday it happened against Melrose
when that traditional foe took the
Harveymen IS to Is.
It was the capitalization on three
breaks in the last frame that
launched the Ramblers three touch
towns in front of the locals. A
blocked punt accounted directly for
one, and attempted laterals COM
pleting an over the line short pass
put the ball in Melrose hands in
succeeding plays.
All week long school biggies have
been saying that Melrose was hav-
ing a slaughter week. Early in the
week in touchball the Melrose out
fit took the local midgets. Then ON
Tuesday the junior high outfit were
on the short end. Then rubbing salt
on the open wound Melrose poured
it on, made good their slaughter
week, and tromped the varsity.
Only bright spots for the locals,
outside of a warm sun that poured
beautiful fall day from a hazy
sky, were their sustained yardage
tramp to the goal on the opening
play, the interception and a 50-yard
streak by Walker to the goal.
From left to right it appears that
the game meant more than just an
other football loss, to wit: 1. The
boys were defeated by traditional
rivals. 2. Melrose made good its
slaughter week-the last act with
gestures. 3. The locals saw slip
ping by the slim threads to which
they pinned hopes of closing the
gaping hole'-the margin between
wins and losses in their schedule.
They saw, too, passing them up a
chance to come out even on their
eight-game roster. For the best they
can do now is a s to 8 loss slate,
and that at the extreme price of
defeating Alexandria 4. The loss
missed a chance to tie up six
year series beginning in 1881 with
the Ramblers, and leaves Melrose
ahead to-
From the opening it was evident
the Harveymen had enough stuff to
score against Melrose. Captain
Walker got the kickoff, chose the
north goal, with a northeast wind
advantage. The kickoff came to
them on the Is yard line. There the
local machine started rolling down
the field, gained momentum. Ethun
continued his cutting and weaving,
Rivette charged fast, the line held
them up. In all the locals chalked
up five first downs during that OPP
ening thrust that launched them to
a touchdown in scarcely three min
utes of play. Ethun carried the mail
on the scoring play. They failed to
convert the extra point.
But Melrose lost little time in
scoring. Taking the ball from the
