DR.. l. K. Williams Reelected By Baptists
HITS ATRELIEF PLAN 10000
ATTEND CONVENTION
Celebrate Seventy Fifth Anniversary of Freedo

st. Louis, Mo. (By R C. Fisher
for ANP)-Dr. L. X. Williams OF
Chicago acclaimed the "Moses"
of the multitude of Baptists of
the National Convention of the
United States, was reelected presi-
dent by that mammoth religious
body after delivering his annual
address at the 18th annual session
and the celebration of the 10Th
year of the emancipation of the
Negro in America, at the spacious
Coliseum last Wednesday even
inr.
In his annual message, the dy-
manic religious leader scored the
present relief plan. He said the
present relief plan is robbing folk
of self respect and self-depen-
dence. He called upon his host of
c~hurchmen, assembled from every
nook and corner of America, to
iacquit themselves as men in help
ing to correct the present econo-
mic conditions and aid in bringing
about a return to private employ
ment. The militant leader, with
an apparently burning heart, plea
ded for greater education of the
America Negro and pointed with
pride to the part the Baptist
Church has played in elevating his
standard of life.
Approximately 10000 heard the
address. The convention was Off
cially opened at the Coliseum, Tue.
William L. Mason, Democratic
president of the Board of Alder
men, welcomed in his own way,
the delegates for Mayor Dickmann
who was not present.
While praising the worthiness of
relief as an emergency measure,
DR.. William warned of it's paraly-
izing affects if continued.
The relief situation" he said,
is inimical to the growth of a
self reliant labor supply and strike
a deathly blow at private indus
try. 1t can help to breed and Gull
tivate the spirit of p~aternalism
and an untimely crop of hopeless
consumers. The present relief does
nos encourage marriage and the
building of the family, for it Of
fers no safe economic foundation
1t robs the people of a proper
morale, and a easily pave the
way to the overthrow of popular
government and the emergence Of
a totalitarian state.

A report OF the progress in con-
nection with the project was made

that everything is in readiness for
line construction.
A group OF farmers from Grove

No sooner do the boys dust Oft

stride, in the Belgrade game scor-

Addressed Rotary
VIII Explain Clubbing Program At
Court OF Honor To BE Held
January 18th

There is danger that the mach
inery that moves the national
Scouting picture may become too
far removed from the boy, John D.
Virgins, Executive Of the Central
Minnesota Council, Boy Scouts OF
America, told members Of Rotary
Tuesday noon.
Addressing the sponsoring organ
ization for local Troop Is, Mr.. Wig
gins told them the work Of such
groups of men in Scouting should
be concerned not so much with a
wide scope setup, but rather with
the individual problems and needs
OF the Boy Scout. There is a dan
ger, he pointed out, in getting too
far away from the boy.
Source of disappointment to the
American Legion Post, whose spon-
sorship of Clubbing program Is
underway, was the second meeting
Of the day at which Mr.. Virgins
was to speak. Scarcely handful OF
parents turned out, and the meeting
has been postponed. AS plans move
forward for the Court Of Honor on
January 10th, DR.. r. e. Cooper, an
nounced that the meeting schedul-
ed for Tuesday evening would be
held at 7 o'clock prior to the
Court. At that time the work of
Clubbing, the program for the
younger boy, will be explained by
Mr.. Virgins. All parents Of boys
interested are invited to attend.
To Rotary, Executive Virgins
revolved his talk around the setup
Of Scouting proceeding from the in
dividual Scout on the local scene to
the national picture. He pointed
out the place Of the troop, the troop
committee, the district committee,
the Council, the Region, and final
ly the granting by Congress Of the
charter. He spoke Of the inter-rela-
ton OF the groups, and their res
possibilities as far as the Boy Scout
Is concerned.

Labor Dispute
Was Settled
Temporarily
Picketers At Laundry Dis
band Pending Arrival of
Owner
CLAIM DISCRIMINATION
Settlement Satisfactory To
Both Sides Reached On
Wednesday P. M.

Main Street has become citified
And for the first time in its history
has witnessed labor picketing along
the staid old street.
Wednesday morning at about
1890 a number of men, representa-
tives of st. Cloud Local No. 800, In
ternational Brotherhood Of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers, a unit Of the American
Federation Of Labor, arrived to
picket the Nelson Laundry. This
was done under an alleged act Of
discrimination against one Of its
members, Donald Hesse. who was
an employee at the laundry. The
union demands his reinstatement.
Picketing was Of short duration,
however, for under an agreement
Of union officials and Milton Ped
erson, who Is managing the laundry
during the absence of the proprie-
tor, Andrew Nelson, the picketers
were called Off about twenty min
utes to four during the afternoon.
This agreement, satisfactory to
both parties. was made pending the
arrival Of Mr.. Nelson, who Is now
somewhere in the West, and to give
the manager Of the plant an OPP
portunity to get in touch with the
National Labor Relations Board to
present his argument, along with
that Of the union, which already
has been presented.
: Ovid Moran, president OF Local
800, in a statement to the Herald
Wednesday afternoon stated that
Sank Centre Is fortunate In having
public officials, whose conduct Is
conducive to good viii to both sides.
Mayor M. F. Hintzen and Chief Of
Police Frank Daniels got the two
parties together and arbitrated a
satisfactory agreement for the time
being.
This agreement, said Mr.. Moran.
is satisfactory to both parties and
the city officials, and was granted
to give the manager time to get in
touch with the National Labor Re-
lations Board. Until that time the
union men decided to lay OFF in or
der to give him time to ascertain
his rights.
Mr.. Moran said they did not want
to take unfair or undue advantage
in this case, as continued picketing
at this time would be unfair to Mr..
Nelson's business.
Mr.. Moran stated that the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor always
tries to be fair, but at the same
time insists that its members be
not Disseminated against and that
they get fair wages and decent
working conditions.
Sank Centres labor dispute Is
over temporarily, through agree
ment satisfactory to Milton Peder-
son, manager Of the laundry, and
the union officials. The matter will
be up for settlement after the re-
turn Of Mr.. Nelson.

Office In P. O.


County extension offices, including
the county agent, home demonstra-
ton agent, All club work and ag-
ricuitural conservation, are now To-
Gated in the new federal post Of
flee at st. Cloud. Since the organ
ization Of extension work in 1852,
the office was located on the sec
ond floor Of the court house.
People looking for this office will
have little or no trouble finding 1t
as It is located on the second floor
toward the west end Of the build
ing and the entrance will be
through room zoe. The office will
have the same telephone number,
1101, as 1t had in the court house.
The change was made because OF
the opportunity to have larger
quarters in the post office building
than those available in the court
house.
Since the organization Of extern
sion work In 1882 the need for adj
ditional space has been very pro-
nounced. The extension staff will
be glad to meet all Of the residents

Mr.. Stork
Grim Reaper
Births Exceeded Deaths In Sank
Centre During 19S7-No Births
In New Year

There are no new faces in
1938-yet.
But the year 1887 when Mr..
Stork outdistanced his rival,
the Grim Reaper, nearly two to
one in an age old battle
brought many. Though drop
ping slightly from the 1895 fig
ures, records Of the City Health
Officer revealed that the births
in the community totaled Is,
while deaths totaled "a.
With five days gone OF the
new year, not single birth has
been recorded in this commun-
ity. But the actual gain in the
city's population, excepting
trends that bring new families,
was thirty during the past
year.
1887 was more than lavish
with the proportion Of males in
the new generation begun that
year. For recorded are 81 boys,
eligible bachelors for 1858, as
compared to 20 girls born dur
ing the year.
Compared to the 1886 figures.
percentages for both remain
about the same. A slight drop In
the birth rate Is noted, how
ever, when there were II
births recorded during the year
1886. Death rate remained al
most constant at the Is per-
cent level for this year, as COM
pared with IS deaths during
1886. This year there was a de-
crease Of one.
With the announcement came
the comment that Sank Cen
tres birth rate is probably con-
sistent with that OF other COM
munities today, bur 1t was pro-
nounced not high. The death
rate, fixed In 1885 for IS deaths
at 10 percent, was pronounced
at that time uncommonly low.

Greatest Jump For
Taxpayers
HOMESTEAD RATE ia.
n-Homestead Levy Reaches
116.59-1936-1937
Comparisons

Sank Centre residents face the
payment of the highest tax rate
ever levied in the city, according to
the report Of Frank RAINIER, coun-
ty auditor, made last week. The
rate on homestead lands or proper
ty has been set at ia mills, nom
homestead lands will pay 1869
mills. This is the highest rate lew
led since 1885, when the tax levy to-
tailed 112 mills.
The raise in the 1887 tax rate,
payable in 1888, resulted primarily
from increases in the city and
school levies, although slight raise
occurred in the county. The in
crease in the city rate is 80 percent,
and the increase in the school levy
Is 80 percent. The 1895 levy totalled
81 mills. in which the city levy was
1850 mills, which now Is listed as
$500 mills. Some Of the raise in the
city levy is due to relief funds
which the Council paid out and ex-
pected to have returned from the
county. Owing to a change In law
this was not forthcoming, although
council members still hold forth
hopes for its return. The school levy
was increased from $3.50 to 50
mills.

Add Mother
Victory 1926
Osakis Led At Half Time
Interesting And Clean
Game Had Everything

It had everything. This Independ-
ent game with Osakis Thursday
evening. There were more laughs
than in a comedy, and there were
tense moments that rivaled mello-
drama when footwork was nullified
on a slippery floor and the local
club edged their way to victory in
late squirt to win 80 to 26.
Plenty of laughs were emitted
from the sidelines as the boys
found the going on the floor tough.
There it lay as slippery as a we'll
creased pancake grlddle and it was
not unusual to see man dashing
hither and suddenly disappear from
sight, lying prone on his back. But
it afforded thrills and the boys bob
bed up laughing.
Hot was the term for Jim O'Gara.
Always an average scorer, Jim was
on that game, led the pack to score
a total Of IL points. His long ones
were telling and the deftness with
which he played the short position
to the side and scored readily were
a credit.
Opening the scoring was Bin
Cook. When passes slapped up and
down the court he edged deeper
and deeper under the basket. I'm
needed, the pass came to him, and
he scored on the sleeper. But Fez-
Ter connected from the foul ring to
tie, and the race was one. Then q
Cook Cara combination scored.
Cook intercepted a pass, steadied
down, and OfGara led the charge to
the basket, took the pass, short un-
der the basket to score. On the
succeeding play 1t was O'Gara
again on a long that didn't even
swish the net. Before the quarter
ended Keldahl scored. The locals
led 8 to 5.
But not for long were they to re-
tain that lead. Led by Fezler and
Hooseline, the Osakis quint closed
the gap, and there the score stood
at 8 for all. Then pandemonium
broke loose in a game that up to
this point had been quite staid and
dignified. Long passes sigZagged
about the court and ten men romp-
ed up and down as three separate
attacks swung under way in less
than a minute. The whole thing
ended up with Hooseline, lanky
Osakis boy, on the floor. O'Gara wa
the first to settle the pace when
with a fake and a driIbble, he cav
orted 1t from the side to score a tip
in shot. But Hooseline came back to
score. Scanlon scored but the locals
trailed one point, 16 to Is, at half
time.
Scoreless during the first hah,
Pat Dubois, whose buckets would
not connect, dribbled in his first at
the opening of the third quarter.
But Quinn tossed Osakis back into
the first stall position with a long
one. But O'Gara pot shot as the
lead sailed back and forth. Much
slam banging up and down the
court headlined this quarter with
the feature attraction the barrel
roll Of O'Gara as he rolled over
three men trying to rid himself Of
a single pass. 23-all was the count
