Taking defeat on the chin last

afternoon in a seven-inning en-
counter when Melrose defeated
them 8 to /. It was bobbing back
up because in an early season en-
counter with Melrose that club
handed out a hot one 20 to o. Har-
vey was much heartened as he
watched great improvement in his
young club, mostly sophomores, in
both fielding and hitting. Ethun

Intimation that the concert play

Matthias Ethen, last Thursday eve

spring affair, and an invitation for
the Sank Centre Municipal Band to
play a return concert at the Univer.

warm, a contrast to the cold, snowy
Minnesota we left behind. OF
course you must remember that
was a month ago. Oregon was en-
tered next as we had to deliver
about sixty boys to camp at
Wyeth, Oregon, a beautiful CCC
camp in the mountain valley. We
felt sure any one would have to
travel a long way to find more
beautiful camp location than
Wyeth.
We arrived at Sunset Camp,
which is near Yacolt, Washington,
late Sunday evening, April 18th.
For the first few days we thought
it was terrible country, because
of forest fire that had passed
through about eight years ago and
ruined the country. However, we
are used to it now and it doesn't
seem to be such a bad country af-
ter all.
Our camp is about forty miles
from Mt. st. Helms, one of the
highest and most beautiful peaks
in the state Of Washington. If we
climb one of the mountains near
camp it can be easily seen.
All can say, if you haven't al
ready, and have got the chance,
don't die without seeing the noun
tains.

WALTER SWIRTZ
WROTE FROM CAMP
Now Located Near Yacolt, Wash.
ington, As Member of CCC-
Tells of Trip

Walter Swirtz, whose parents re-
side in the Lyman Prairie commun-
ity, is now located at Camp Sun
set, near Yacolt, Washington, as a
member of the Citizens Conserva-
ton Corps. He left this community
in April and enjoyed the trip to the
West. He wrote an interesting let
ter about the trip, the country and
his camp to friends. The letter is as
follows:
Camp Sunset,
May IS, 1897.
Dear Friends:
Well, I have been sitting here in
the educational room for about an
hour asking most of the boys in
camp how they would write a let
ter for this purpose, they all had a
different idea and got me all mix
ed up so I'm trying to write while
my mind is whirling, so if it does
not make sense please excuse it.
We, who were assigned to Co.
alta, left Minnesota via the Mil
waukee road, travelling in a spec
ial train. We entrained late in the
afternoon of April Is and awoke
the following morning in South
Dakota. Soon we entered Montana,
which proved to be an ever remem-
bered scene to many. This state
gave us a true life picture of the
west, so thrilling to every young
man. From our pullman. windows
we saw sandy plains and rocky
plateaus, dotted with sage, dried
skulls and skeletons and dried wa
ter holes.
Some of the towns appeared de-
serted, probably because of the re-
cent drouths. AS we neared the
Rockies we saw large flocks of con-
tented sheep grazing along the hill
sides, also we saw scattered cabins
settled in the valleys. The country
looked prosperous, compared to
what we passed through from
Miles City.
We passed over the mountains in
the late afternoon, a thrilling sight
to us as many had never viewed
mountain before. There were some
beautiful ranges to be seen; snow
caps made majestic sight against
the setting sun.
Butte, Montana. the most famed
copper mining city, was seen at
night; the vari-colred lights twink
led against the mountain side.
Sunday morning found us pulling
into Spokane. Here the flowers
were in bud and the weather was

twinkled and thought I detected
a CLEAN of gratitude-the sort of
gratitude that one man feels for
another who had befriended him.
FIR. Matthias cannot get over the
enormous turnout at the city park.
This certainly reflects that you
have successfully educated your
Sank Centre citizens to appreciate
the worthwhile things in life"
He expresses that sanction of
authorities at the University had
been obtained for a return engage
ment at Collegeville by the Sank
Centre Band. Definite dates will
not be set until next fall. As a
treat for the band members, it may
be arranged to have them present
at one of the major football games
next fall.
DR.. Hanson announced that the
open air schedule of the Sank Cen
ire Band would begin the first
Thursday evening in June and
continue throughout the summer.

Midget Automobile
Races AT St. Cloud
Little Handmade Cars Capable OF
Producing 100 Miles d,
Per Hour

Americas most popular and
thrilling sport, midget automobile
racing, will make an suspicious
debut in Minnesota on Sunday,
May 80, when a program of races
is offered as the leading feature
of a Thrill Day" at the Benton
County Fair Grounds, st. Cloud,
Mimi.
Some of the best drivers in the
middle west-where midget auto
racing definitely established as a
leading sport-will appear on the
program at st. Cloud on that day.
At least six races of varying dis
tances are planned as a part Of
the gala thrill program.
Midget auto racing, which was
first proven successfully in Mil
wauke, insofar as the middle west
is concerned, offers all the thrills
of big car racing, with some of the
danger lacking. However, no less
than six pilots have been killed in
the last two years while driving
bantam cars. Mr.. Erv. Resting,
dirt track pilot and an expert
race car builder, introduced midget
racing in Milwaukee and is per-
sonally conducting the st. Cloud
races on May Both.
Many of the little cars, which
are all hand made, are capable of
turning up more than 100 miles per
hour on a straightaway. They
turn the one-tenth mile indoor
track at Milwaukee in 8.4 seconds,
and the one-fifth mile unbanked
outdoor oval in 15.9 seconds. An
other feature of the thrill day affair
will be several spectacular motor
cycle stunts, including crashes
through a double flaming wall;
falling off a speeding machine, and
jumps off a truck.

BROWN BEAR VISITS
HOME NEAR LITTLE SAUK


It has become natural for
wild deer to roam in this COM
munity, and practically every
one has been able to get q
glimpse Of these fleet animals
at some time or other while mo-
toring through the country
north and northeast Of Sank
Centre. However, for many
years, wild bear have not made
their habitat in this commun-
ity, until recently when reports
dribbled in that a bear had been
seen in the Little Sank sector.
Now the news of a bear in
that community has been re-
ported as an absolute fact. One
day last week Loretta Anderson,
who was assisting Mrs. Geo. e.
Oldham, at the farm three miles
east Of Little Sank, saw a
strange looking animal drinking
from a pail of milk near the
kitchen door. She believed 1t to
be a dog, however, called Mrs.
Oldham, who was surprised to
see a brown bear in the yard.
She said it was about a year old.
The bear was not frightened,
and he walked deliberately from
the house to the barn, into one
door and out Of another. He
snapped at one of the dogs,
which came too close, although
they did not modest the bear,
but rather seemed to be fright
ened. After shopping around for
a few minutes Bruin walked
away into the woods. And now
the Oldham family will have to
find a way to keep the bear
from their door.

ing at 11:25. His topic, 1.-THE Max
ing Of a Man." was timely and in
teresting. Mr.. Masterson, in repre-
senting his organization, speaks to
the pupils of schools throughout the
state on matters pertaining to
clean living and prevention of
crime among the youth.
He said in part: Americas
greatest asset today Is not it's
banks, business, homes, railroads
or systems Of commerce, but it's
boys and girls who are to be its fu-
ture leaders and rulers, statesmen
and prophets, fathers and mothers.
The supreme challenge comes to
every man and woman today, re-
CARELESS of whether they are par
ents or not, to build the very finest,
highest and best type Of men and
women it Is possible for us to build
with Gods help out of the child
hood and youth in our schools Of
America today"
He mentioned "the importance
Of teaching them environments in
fluence on the soul and on the body
which is the temple of the soul
Among many other vital essentials
is proper direction of life's ener-
gy-but not repression"
He emphasized the importance
Of telling a boy the truth, If he is
to develop into an honest, upright
man. He stated that if this is not
done it would be embarrassing to
his parents as well as disastrous to
him. Absolute justice and COM
radeship are two essentials of
great Importance. What a boy is
depends upon what he does when
he has nothing to do. IF a dad Is
the right kind of a man and will
tie up close to his boy and be his
greatest chum, I will guarantee
that boy will develop into the
right kind Of a man."
1T is important to teach a boy
self-control, a lesson all of us have
to learn sometime in life," he said,
land the sooner we learn it the bet
ter it is for u.s."
IF you study the crime records"
he continued, "you will find that it
is the boys and girls, men and wo-
men, who come from homes where
self-control was not taught, who
are filling our jails and penitentiar-
les today, and are causing nine
tenths of all the trouble in the
country"

Sloping Street Is A Men
ace To Parked Trucks
Truckers Warned To Set Brakes,
Place Truck in Gear, While
on No. Main

Warning truckers of impending
danger while parking on the west
side of Main Street, between Third
and Second Streets, it was noted
that the recent accident, wherein
a truck wandered across Main
Street and crashed into the front
of Nelson's Laundry, recalls the
fact that a similar accident to the
laundry front occurred a year ago.
Hence, bringing the matter before
the Sank Centre Safety Council
last Friday night, it was decided
to ask the Herald to give as much
publicity to this danger as possible.
Truckers are warned by officers to
see that their brakes are set tightly
and that the truck be placed in
gear, while it Is parked along that
block, which inclines to the east.
Both of the accidents referred
to probably were caused by the fact
that the trucks were not in gear.
These trucks were parked on the
west side of Main Street, and APP
parently the brakes did not hold
on the slope. 1t so happened that
both of them backed into the same
building, causing considerable dam
age. Truckers, of course, are also
anxious to avoid such accidents,
but apparently they should be more
careful and see that trucks are left
in gear, as we'll as having emergen-
cy brakes on, especially if they
are loaded. Both of these trucks
backed across the street without
regard to any regular traffic, and
it is fortunate that in the course
of crossing the street neither of
them caused any accident either
to other conveyances or to pedes-
TRANS.
A little added care on the part
of truckers would be of benefit to
themselves, as we'll as to any people
or property that might be damaged
by such wandering trucks, says
officers. .
