Stores Continue
Earlier Closing
Dry Goods Men and Similar Lines
Have Adopted $50 Closing
Announced w. ID. Gallup

Several merchants in dry goods
and similar lines have decided up
on uniform hours, according to an
announcement made by w. d. Gal
lup, following a meeting Monday
morning.
Continuing the closing policy, be-
gun this winter, secured through
the sponsorship of the Community
Club, these merchants have an
nounced their closing hour at $3.50
o'clock the year around. Week day
hours will be from 500 a. m, to
$50 p. m. Saturday closing hours
will be at 10 a. m. The stores an
nouncing such hours are: Model
Clothing company. j. G. Penney
company, Gandrud's Federated
Store, Ben Franklin Store, and
Underhill's Variety.
Decision was reached by the
merchants, Mr.. Gallup explained,
on the basis Of recent trends set by
adjoining communities who have
shortened the work day. Employ
ees' convenience was a strong fac
tor In the move he said. The $50
closing was first set In this city
during the winter when Ccmmun-
ity Club heads secured the cooper
alton OF local merchants. The $40
hour was to have been maintained
only through March under the
Community Club setup.

Second Concert
Tuesday Evening
Rev. M. i. Brann, Pastor OF Meth
Odist Church, Gave Inter-
esting Talk

The obedience of certain laws,
would eliminate much contention
and strife in this world, the Rev.
M. l.. Brann, pastor Of the Metho-
dist Church, told an audience Tues
day evening when DR.. p. w. Han
son and his forty piece band pre-
scented the second of a unique ser
les of concerts.
Pointing to the youthful music
ians en- the stand, Rev. Brann said
that they are able to produce har-
mony and music because they OBJ
serve certain laws and regulations
and drew the analogy into the ev-
eryday human life.
The program, sponsored by the
Mems Club, Is one of a series of
such concerts which will find their
way into each of the city's church
es, DR.. Hanson announced. An
nouncer for the program was Har-
ley Forsyth, president Of the Mems
Club. Carl Perry led the audience
in community singing with the
band accompanying. Beside the
concert numbers by the band, Ar
thur Kinsella and Robert Hans
mann played melodies on the gui-
tar. Bud Veeder played the difficult
alto saxophone solo 'Martinelli."
Miss Florence Vogel played the ac-
compartment. The entire versatile
program Is under the direction Of
DR.. Hanson.
The third program Of the series,
DR.. Hanson said, would be held at
st. Pauls Church soon. Here the
band will be augmented to seventy
music students, drawing some from
the Parochial School band. The
Herald will carry dates Of the con-
cert later.

Dogs Cannot Run At
Large Says Council
Ordinance No. Els win BE In
Force In Thirty Days-Publica-
ton This Week

In this weeks Herald is pub
lished an ordinance which prohibits
the running at large Of dogs with
in the city. It is headed Chapter
No. 215 and will be in force thirty
days after its publication.
This ordinance makes 1t unlaw-
full for any person, firm or corpora
ton to allow dogs to run at large
within the city, whether the dog
has been licensed Or not. However,
the ordinance does not prohibit the
appearance Of any dog upon the
street, provided it is accompanied
by an adult, and is on leash, and
under control at all times.
Under this ordinance any dog
running at large will be taken into
custody and impounded by the
police.
Violations Of this ordinance shall
be deemed q misdemeanor and the
owner will be punishable by fine
Of not less than $1.00 nor more than
$500 and court costs, or be i'm
prisoned in the city or county Jail
for not less than one day nor more
than thirty days. In the event of
non-payment of such fine and
costs, the person violating this or
dinance shall be imprisoned until
such fine and costs are satisfied as
provided by law.
This ordinance has been passed
because, it is said, dogs are becom-
ing too numerous in the city, and
In certain sources are considered
a nuisance. Dog lovers will object
to the ordinance, but will have to
grin and bear it. It appears to be a
rather strenuous ordinance, and it
is hoped that AFTER the stray dogs
are disposed Of that 1t will be re-
pealed.

Celebrate
|62nd Marriage
Anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Dummert
Made Happy BY Friendly
Gathering
WE'D MARCH %, 1876
Were Residents of Sank Gen.
tire For 43 Years-Lived
At English Grove

elimination Of 81 years Of happy
welded life was the cause Of a very
pleasant surprise for Mr.. and Mrs.
William Dummert, aged residents
Of this city. On Wednesday, March
23rd, a large number Of friends and
relatives gathered at their home on
Elm Street, to aid them In the cele-
bration of their sixty-second we'd
ding anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dummert were well
and in their characteristic mood Of
cheerfulness and good humor well
coined the seh-invited guests. The
afternoon was spent in pleasant
conversation, interspersed with
songs and instrumental musical Sc
lections by Lorraine Pendroy, ac-
companied by Mrs. Pendroy at the
piano. A bounteous lunch, with a
wedding cake, was served by the
guests for the occasion. Besides the
best wishes of large number Of
friends, and messages Of congratu-
lation by mail, Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn
inert were the recipients of many
gifts as pleasant reminders Of the
happy occasion.
In the conversation Of the after
noon, there came to light the hap
py recollections OF the years Of
thrift, industry and honest dealing
Of the honored couple. While time
had allowed for a share in the in
evitaible trials which contribute to
sterling character, 1t has not blur
red their vision with pessimism,
and it is not hard to understand
why the neighbors and their chill
dren enjoy the Dummert home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dummert came to
Sank Centre about 43 years ago,
and during that time Mr.. Dummert
farmed during the summer months
and they resided In the city. He re-
tired from work two years ago. Mr.
Dummert says he likes Sank Cen
tire, and that It is as good or better
here than in most places one reads
about.
Mr.. Dummert was born in Ger
many on November %, 1850, and
he came to the United States 72
years ago. He came immediately to
this community and arrived in
Sank Centre by stage coach. He
then engaged in farming in the
Grove community west Of Sank
Centre.
Mrs. Dummert was born in Wis
consin on June 8, 1859, and during
her early life came with her par
ents to English Grove, in Douglas
township. Her maiden name was
Alvina Klatt.
These two good people were
brought together and on March %,
1876, were united in marriage at
English Grove.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dummert were the
parents of three children, two
daughters and one son, one of
whom, their daughter, Cora, passed
away eleven years ago. The living
children are their daughter, Ber-
tina, who is at home with her par
ents, and their son, Otto Dummert,
of Seattle, Washington. Their son
was unable to be home for this
happy event. Among the guests
from out-of-town was Mrs. Plank,
CT Elk River, a sister of Mrs. Dunn
inert.
The Herald, together with a host
Of friends, extend best wishes to
Mr.. and Mrs. Dummert and hope
for them many more such happy
anniversaries.

One Defect Immediately Corrected
All Features For Safety
Checked Thoroughly

One defect was brought to light
last week when the Safety Division
of the state Industrial Commission
made an inspection Of the four bus
es, property Of the Board Of Edu-
cation OF this city.
The defect was that in one bus
carbon monoxide gas was escaping
into the cab. 1t was the result OF a
leaky exhaust manifold. Supt. w.
A. Kohl announced Monday the re-
pair had been made Immediately.
Other features Of safety, lights,
breaks, horns, and others had been
checked thoroughly and found in
perfect order, Mr.. Kohl said. Con-
Quoting the inspection was A. e.

IN THE SPRING
HOOKEY'S THE THING

In the spring a young mans
fancy turns slightly to thoughts
of-skipping school, or in the
vernacular just plain old-fash-
Toned playing hockey.
Supt. w. A. Kohl knew it was
the first day Of spring: nine
students got spring feveritis,
skipped school. Busy was he
with the resultant interviews"
Why did they do it.
Blasting to the sweetest dream
Of the poets lay that the young
man in spring is a lovesick ro-
manifest were their reasons
stated simply and frankly. II
just wanted to walk in the
park" or II thought it would be
all right to skip the last period"
or II just wanted to get outside"
No incoming youngsters here to
go out and commune with ma
ture, watch the birds whisk
about, or compose a verse to
"her." Just brutal American
realism.
Any girls in the group, Mr..
Kohl was asked. Everyone OF
them boys" he chuckled. TITS
just that feeling they get this
time Of the year-like I got, too,
I guess" But he didn't say that
he had carried out the desire
when a student. Mr.. Kohl point
ed out that usually they go in
flocks, it happens once, or at the
best twice, on the incest days,
and then pfft-it's over.
Anyway this year isn't so
bad" he said. 1.-THE first year
was here I had 92-and half of
them were girls. I spent most Of
my time with the cop playing
the role Of truant officer"

Plan To Eliminate Dead Ends
May Have Cost Of
S13,828

Over half a mile Of Waterman
extensions will be laid in this city
by crew of thirty WPA workers
in a city project on which work

the city, and 1t Is a needed i'm
provement. Materials for this work,
purchased under the direction Of
the Water, Light & Power Com
mission, have arrived in the city,
and are ready for the project when

terials, and the labor setup will be
under WPA paid from federal re-
lief funds. This project will include
all reference, text books, and the
