OFFICERS Of the Minnesota Ma

206th Infantry, and citizens of Sank
Centre gathered in the Community
Club rooms Tuesday evening to
honor Roy Scott, recently promot-
ed to the rank of Major. A chick

Carl Fischer, acting captain OF
Co. M, opened the program by
introducing Mayor Yaeger, who
welcomed the guests. Introduction
Of the visiting officers followed.
Musical selections on the program

w. M. Parker, first captain OF
Co. M" gave "reminiscences on
the formation Of the company
which was an outgrowth Of the
Home Guard company, organized
during the World War. He stated
that from 70 to 100 business men OF
the city formed the Home Guard
and they furnished their own uni
forms. Their greatest service dur.
ing existence was fire duty In
the north woods. After the arm.
istice was signed the Guard went
out Of existence. Having about
$1,000 in the treasury at that time
one of three things was possible
viz: disband and divide the money
form an athletic club or make ap.
plication for National Guard Co
They decided on the latter and laid
their plans accordingly. After
some disappointment, Mr.. Parker
was informed that Sank Centre
could have a machine gun company
and the offer was Immediately &C.
cepted.
Recruiting offices were set up In
the basement Of the Merchants Ma
tional bank, and as Mr.. Parker
stated, Roy Scott was one Of the
first recruits, twenty years ago
The local men then wanted an
armory, and as the state allowed
only $4,000, Mr.. Parker and others
went before the legislature and the
amount was raised to $4,000. The
armory was built. He remained
with Co. IN" as captain until the
armory was completed. At the time
Of his resignation Scott was a tor

is HALLOWEEN?-

halloween In Christendom Is
really All Hallow's Even, desig-
mated as the vigil Of Hallowmas
or All Saints Day. But it long
antedates Christianity. Ancient
Halloween grew out Of Druidic
beliefs more than 1000 years ago.
Chiefly characteristics Of this
Druidic autumn festival were
lighting of fires on that eve, and
the belief that witches and
ghosts wandered about on that
night of all nights. A Druidic
belief held that the eve was
spent in calling Of wicked souls
by Saman, lord of death. Later
as disbelieving sceptics threw
off the Druidic beliefs, they play
ed pranks on the believers in
the pretense that wicked souls
were really the perpetrators.
So arose the prankster aspect Of
Halloween, so we follow the
pagan customs of long centuries
standing. Now a sane approach
to Halloween, recognizing 1t as
a Christian festival, is being
taught.

Government Representa-
tive To Be Here In Near
Future, Says Letter

In a letter from Washington, D.
c., Postmaster B. F. Dubois has
been advised that 1t will be neces-
sary to hold a reinvestigation of the
postoffice site situation in this city.
AS stated in last weeks Herald,
a Community Club committee con-
sisting of G. r. Bruce, Jos. Miller
and George Fish, interviewed those
who have offered sites to the gov
eminent for the proposed federal
building and had received reduc-
tions in practically all cases. The
report Of the committees findings,
however, did not reach Washington
before the order for reinvestigation
was recommended.
The letter to Mr.. Dubois follows:
Treasury Department
Procurement Division
Washington, d. c.
October Is, 1898
Postmaster, Sank Centre, Mimi:
On October 4, the Joint Treasury
Post Office committee recommend
ed that a reinvestigation Of the en-
tire site situation at Sank Centre
be conducted by representative
of the Procurement Department. 1t
is expected that the agent will be
in Sank Centre in the very near
future.
Signed:
Acting Director Of
Procurement.
We were informed that the first
bids sent in were for more than the
government wishes to pay for prop
erty. The amount set aside for a
site in Sank Centre Is $4,000, with
a maximum $4,000 according to a
recent telegram received.

RAILROADS AID
 CONN. CONCERNS
Millions Spent in l937, Buying Supplies From
 Connecticut Factories

Practically every railroad in the country made purchases of mate rials, supplies and equipment in the state of Connecticut last year, it is shown in study made by the Rail- way Age to throw new light on the distribution of railway expenditures. Out of 100 Glass I railroads report ing, and that includes nearly all of the carriers in that group, 97, in- cluding the New Haven Railroad and the Central Vermont, made pur- chases in Connecticut during the course of the year, their aggregate expenditures amounting to $1O,305,- 898.
 At the same time, the New Haven Railroad made purchases in all of the four states on it's lines, Con- |necticut, Rhode Island, Massachu- setts and New York, and in r other states, total of 21. The Gen. tral Vermont's purchases were made in all four states in it's territory. Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont, and in 28 other states as well, total of 32. All of the 100 roads combined bought their materials supplies and equipment in every state in the Union.
 Connecticut benefited not only by the railway purchases totaled above, but also by $17,670,000 spent within the state in wages and upwards of $820,0 ,000 in taxes, total of $28, ,796,- 758. Resident railroads, that is, the New Haven and the Central Ver- mont, made purchases within the state amounting to $3,49- ,812, while the nonresident carriers expended $6, ,908, ,086.
 These figures, according to the Railway Age, are really understate- ments, since they exclude expendi- lures made for materials and equip ment by a few Class I railroads which prepared no reports, together with sums spent by all of the rail- roads for heat, light, water, elec- trical energy, rent, payments, for drayage, and construction and other services. They also disregard the indirect purchases made in some states for raw materials used by manufacturers of railway supplise The data do show, however, total outlay for purchases, wages and taxes in the various states of $3,- 252,775,516.

SUGGESTIONS ON
 WATER DRINKING
Several Factors to Be Con- slider in Preservation of
 Good Health

While water from Connecticut'S public supply systems is kept bac- teriologically safe and while abund- ant drinking of same water is help in the maintenance of good health, use of it at improper temperatures in the hot summer months may lead to injurious results. If the tenn perature is too high, the water may not prove palatable or refreshing, thus resulting in too little consump- tion of it. If the water is too cold it may bring digestive disturbances. Or if the drinking fountains are spaced too far from the worker $ point of occupation, he is likely to consume enough for his require ments.
 "In too many plants the drinking water outlets are not sufficiently numerous" recent article in Ma tional Safety News pointed out. "This means that the employe will not consume enough water for phy- sical needs or that he will spend too much time away from his work. :. It is true that human beings can exist under far from favorable con- ditions, but such conditions often exact a serious toll in health and working efficiency. To replace the moisture lost through eXhalation. perspiration and elimination the factory worker may require one pint to one quart of drinking water per hour.
 "In selecting the temperature for drinking water, the type of work must be considered. In the various occupations there is enough differ ence in muscular activity to require a range of temperatures from 45 to 55 degrees. Office workers, restu- rant patrons and others who are not active can drink water several degrees colder than those who per form heavier labor. For manufac- turing plants 50 to 55 degrees IS considered best, while 45 degrees is not too cold for restaurants and hospitals" While excessively cold water has at times caused heat cramps and temporary exhaustion among workers subjected to intense heat, this is due to loss of body salts through preparation, which can be offset by use of sodium chloride (salD tablets.
