 "Stop thinking about 1t; Sylvia" !" Jack spoke gently. I'm going to take you inside where it's cheer full. I've kept you out too long,"
 The chain grated as Jack secured the boat. He assisted Sylvia out of the boat, and they stood for a mo- ment, his arm lightly supporting her.

 "Why?"

 Tt was natural for Barry to feel upset" Sylvia said "He doesn't like the position you placed him in. He left me on the lake and you went in after me-"
 Don't be too hard on him. He must have been pretty sure you had gone in to shore"
 Would you have gone back?"
 I'm an imaginative chap" Jack answered, trying to speak lightly Barry isn't. He never thinks of danger"
 At least you're very loyal" There was an edge to Sylvia's voice.
 The moon had come Up, and now was pouring a silver flood over the pier where Sylvia and Jack stood looking unhappily into each others eyes. There was no entertainment, though, for the two. They began walking slowly toward the house.
 "The lake is spooky at night" Sylvia said. Her voice was stiff with pride. Those cypress trees look like ghostly old men dipping their long, thin arms into the water. You're right. would be much more cheerful inside"
 
 At least two people were glad when the house party was over. Mrs. Wentworth and Jill.
 The former realized the party had been a failure, so far as her own matchmaking plans were concerned. She was sure, how ever, that no real damage had been done to Barry's romance. Jack and Sylvia had been thrown together only one day. When they returned to New York and he learned that Barry was seriously interested in Sylvia, he would step aside. Soon Sylvia would forget the exciting rescue, and turn to Barry again.
 Meanwhile, Jill was congratu- lating herself that, somehow, she had successfully forestalled one of Milo's inevitable proposals. She was glad to- be back in town. Now she would brush up a bit on the happenings in the art world.

A number of members of Robert
Swift Post, American Legion, at
tended an interesting and instruc-
tive meeting of the County unit at

meeting was largely attended by
representatives of the various
Posts OF the county.
The speakers were Supt. Farley,

Zweiner, Of Fergus Falls, adjutant
of the state organization. Mr.. Far
ley spoke on the supreme court
and the Constitution. His remarks
were timely and interesting. Mr..
Zweiner forcibly outlined the du-
ties of the American Legion and
his talk was greatly enjoyed by all.
He stated that the Legion in Min
nesota had a greater membership
today than ever before. Mr.. Zwein-
err spoke on the Universal service
bill, adequate armament for the
nation, the care Of widows and or
phans, expiration Of war time in
surance payments to dependents,
and other problems which con-
mont Legion members. During the
meeting 1t was revealed that Sank

its membership drive.
Following the program, which
included tap dance numbers and
music by the Heidelberg band of
st. Cloud, the guests were socially
entertained by the st. Joseph Le-
gionnaires. Sandwiches, sauer
Treatments were served at a late
hour, and the shank OF the even
ing was spent In having a real good

| ASKS SURVEY FOR
NEW POST OFFICE

A Washington News item I'M
DER date of March 10, appearing
IN the daily papers, stated that
Representative Harold Knut-
son, of the Sixth Congressional
District of Minnesota, had ask
ed the post office department to
make surveys of five Minnesota
towns to determine if new post
office buildings are needed.
Sank Centre is included in the
list, which Mr.. Knutson said,
also composed Elk River, Ait
kin, Walker and Buffalo. The
postoffice department assured
the Congressman that the sur
vey would be made. For some
time efforts have been made to
secure a new postoffice build
ing for Sank Centre, and citi-
zens in general hope these eff
forts may proceed to fruitful
elimination.

Country Club
Raised Fees
A Complete Encouragement
Of Budget and Financial
Policies Faced
WISH MORE INTEREST
Difficulties Must Be Sur.
mounted To Maintain
Popular Sport

Acting on suggestions made at
an open meeting Of golfers last
Friday, directors Of the Sank Cen
ire Country Club, faced with the
complicating problems of a defic-
tied treasury and creating more in
terest in play, set the dues sched-
dule for the year Of 1887 Monday
evening.
Confronting the directors and
the club president, L. L. Kells. are
the problems Of an unpaid water
bill and taxes unpaid since 1882. A
complete Encouragement Of the
budget and financial policies Of the
club with provisions to care for
these accounts have been suggest
ed. Prompting the directors de-
cision to raise some Of the dues
brackets were comparisons OF dues
schedules made with clubs in ad-
jacent towns, showing that the 10
cal dues rates were lowest.
The present schedule calls for a
number Of dues rates. A selected
List Of sponsors will he solicited Tor
Is dollars allowing them playing
privileges for their families. The
basic dues for men will be Is dol
lars including their wives and de-
pendent children. If single, the
man may have the privilege OF
having a lady play with him free.
For unmarried women the rate Is
to be $3.50. For junior members
from 16 to q the rate for boys Is
$500, and for girls $3.50. A bid for
nonresident members was made
by the directors when they set
that bracket at So Green fees
were set at IS cents before 8
o'clock, and 80 cents thereafter.
COMPARISONS show that though
the rates have been boosted they
are not excessive. A survey made
by Mr.. Kells with the four clubs OF
Long Prairie, Glenwood, Little
Falls, and Sank Centre revealed
that Long Prairie has a family
membership Of Is dollars, 10 dol.
lar membership for men, 10 dollars
for women. Glenwood's rates FOL
those three tables are all 20 dol
lars. Little Falls rate has been
$3.50 for men. and $3.50 for WON
en-. Prior to this time the Local
membership for men has been only
10 dollars. In other brackets in the
four clubs, local dues rates have
been correspondingly lower.
Directors feel that an effort tc
bring more revenue into the club
was not enough. A survey of the
taxation among the four clubs has
shown that Sank Centres club
taxed as urban property, has paid
nearly twice the rate that st
Cloud has and paid at the rate Of
three times greater than II
Paynesville. In all these Other
towns the clubs are assessed at 3;
and one-third percent of their true
and full value, or as agriculture
property, the directors learned OF
Monday, and that Sank Centre l:
assessed at 40 percent Of the true
and full value Of the land, or a:
urban lots.
Directors decided that a read
iustment should be sought on thu
back taxes and the proper assess
ment made for the future. It wal
also learned that the Club ha:
asked for a lesser rate on water
from the city. They indicated tina
the membership drive would be be
gun within a week Or two.

On his annual tour, selling the

of raising bulbs, one Of the fore

bulbs are raised, he said, was val

the ground, and bulbs are raised
in sand heavily laden with fertiliz-
