Items of Twenty Years Ago

Organization of the office of the
Great Northern Railway depot,
coupled with the immediate arrest
and recovery of the stolen money
early Wednesday morning, broke
the usual tranquility in local police
circles.
The first of the new Babcock
highways to be built in Stearns
County will be the Sank Centre
Glenwood and the Sank Centre
Long Prairie roads.
A very valuable addition to the
livestock industry Of the commun-
ity was made when H. G. Borg

of ornaments formerly sent to US
from abroad.
The story Of the pine cones has
many chapters. The harvesting fol
Minnesota is done by CCC camps
Last year 1000 bushels were picked
Since the cones are most attractive
when the scales are opened, a meth
cd was evolved for opening them
Heat controlled ovens gently force
the cones to spread, and as they
spread the seeds drop out.
Seeds are not lightly regarded In
the Minnesota Division of Forestry
Although the gracefully spread pine
cone is the immediate object of the
holiday industry, farsighted state
nursery men seize the opportunity
to carefully gather the seeds and
store them for future planting.
The seeds are de-winged by spec
ial machinery, and tied up in bur-
lap bags. Then in the spring, when
Christmas trees are but dim men,
cries, the seeds are planted in nurs-
cries throughout Minnesota. They
are the Christmas trees, the wood
lands and the lumber for future
generations. No other cycle dem
onstrates so we'll what Conservation
means.
When you see great loads Of
Christmas trees in the markets, do
not worry about the future Of Min
nesota's forests. The red tag on
each tree is your assurance that
the forests were cut selectively and
often benefited by thinning out
growths too dense for young trees
to develop. No game cover is dis
turbed by the cutting. Cedar
slashings, tops and branches are
left on the forest floor for deer
food.
Revenue from Christmas tree
sales accrues to the state school
trust fund which now stands in the
neighborhood Of sos, 100000.
In Minnesota from $4,000 to TO-
600 workers seek part time work
in the northern forests. With the
well managed growth of the Christ
mas tree industry, thousands of
workmen are given needed employ
ment at a time when little extra
cash Is most welcome.
Forestry division officials are
quick to give credit for the expan-
sion of this new industry in Min
nesota to Raymond Clement, for
ester, in charge of nurseries and
planting. Under Clements manage
ment, the supervision Of the indus
try, whether it be patrolling, cut
ting, transporting or the sale of the
trees, has become more efficient
with each succeeding year.
The business of using second
airy products of the forest has pro-
crossed rapidly. The tying Of
wreaths, festooning and all manner
of decorative objects are produc-
ing a large industry in Minnesota.
The use of branches of all kinds.
Princess pine, weed capsules and
flowers, bark and empty cones, aid
in making up the items that in a
manufactured form find their way
into the Yule-tide market.
The 1889 report on Christmas
Tree activities issued by Clement
shows that from the sale of the two
cent Christmas tree tags alone,
Minnesota received $12,782.72.
Thus the story of the Little Fir
Tree finds it's counterpart in mil
lions of Christmas trees in Mime
sofa. And a new industry is max
ing Christmas merrier for thous-
ands Of northwoods workers.

When and Where to Apply

When and Where to Apply
Young men who desire to apply,
should do so at an early date. APP
plications will be taken Tuesdays,
Fridays and Saturdays, beginning
with Tuesday, December Bird, and
continuing until Tuesday, Decem-
Der 81. Applicants living outside
of the City Of st. Cloud will receive
consideration on other days If they
cannot come on the days designat-
ed. The place for making applica-
ton is the office Of the Welfare
Board in the Stearns county court
house.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1940-12-05

Aside of being sound physically,
they must also be sound mentally,
which means that feeble minded
or epileptic young men cannot en-
list. Boys attending school must
not be enrolled. Boys on parole,
probabation, or under a suspended
sentence, are not eligible for enroll
ment. Boys discharged from pro-
baton, by a juvenile court, for a
period of not less than three
months, may enroll. This is a fed
eral and not a local regulation.
Camps Teach Trades
Young men within the age brac-
kets who are unemployed, will find
a haven in the CCC Camps where
they not only have profitable en-
ployment, but where they also may
learn a trade, so that when they
come out Of Camp, they are pre-
pared to follow their chosen occu-
patton.
New Pay Schedules
In the past, enrollees received So
a month for spending money, and
a check of $22 was mailed to their
dependent family. This has been
changed, so that after January 1,
1914, the enrollee receives So spend
ing money, as in the past, a SIS
check is mailed to the family, and
81 is deposited with the Finance
Officer in the name Of the enrollee.
This 81 is deposited and saved for
him until he is honorably discharg-
ed, when the money will. be turned
over to him. In other words, from
January list on, the enrollee re-
ceives 50 percent of his earnings
for his own use. This should make
Camp Life much more attractive
from financial standpoint.

Need License
To Hunt Rabbits
May Use Fish Houses
But Cannot Be Darkened,
Says Attorney General

Angling for crappies in lighted
fish houses or shelters is permitted
by law, according to ruling hand
ed down by the attorney generals
office at the request of E. r. Stark
weather, deputy director of the div
ision of game and fish and in
charge of law enforcement.
Several requests for an interpre-
tation of the law in this particular
have been received by Mr.. Stark
weather and since some difference
of opinion had developed, he asked
a ruling by the attorney general.
Angling is the only method permit
ted by law for fishing lcrappies, but
the angling may be done in shell
tiers and fish houses not darkened,
Is the ruling. The fish house sea-
son is from Dec. to Feb. 1.
Another hunting regulation about
which there appears to be some
confusion is that pertaining to lie
enses for hunting rabbits. The
divisions ruling is that it is neces-
sary to have a hunting license to
shoot rabbits-except that the own
err of the land may hunt rabbits
thereon without one.

Made Tours To Seattle,
Salt Lake City, San
Francisco, San Diego, Etc.

Dudley Morse, now in training
at Randolph Field, Texas, with the
U. s. Army, couldn't be home for
Christmas, so he spent his holidays
"in the air" it was learned in
snatches of his letters to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. v. Morse, Of
this city.
He wrote January 3rd, Seemed
kinda funny not being home for
the holidays, but I had swell time.
Spent most of the holidays in the
air on an extended cross country
trip to San Diego, San Francisco,
Salt Lake City, Fort Riley, Kansas,
and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Then up
to Seattle in a Bottom SIT flying
fortress. Got cold at $4,000 feet
but it was fun. The San Diego hop
was made in a BT-9-C and we got
caught in a snow storm between
Drelas and Austin. Missed Min
neapolis hop by five minutes"

wrote, and he will be entitled to Is
months schooling at Scott or
Wright Field. At the present he's
in line for the position Of head
teletype operator in the weather Of
flee at Randolph.
Mentioning more of his flying ex-
perience, bud wrote, "Got into some
real zero weather last week, 1900
feet thick. Funny to be in this
cold with no visibility one second,
and then out in the bright sunshine
the next with a big white cloud
underneath you."
He goes to Sequin, a pretty city
of 5000, that he likes because it
reminds me of home" His spare
time he spends in skating where
Kinks have been opened. But he
complains it isn't cold enough to
be really conducive for the sport.
He missed not being at home
Christmas, he said, with no tree
to open presents around and no
snow. But he had a merry Christ
mas because II am where I want
to be and doing what I want to do"

Neutrality
Topic of Talk
At Rotary
Edward F. Flynn Pre-
scented Able Address
On illusions of War"
DYNAMIC SPEAKER
Fourth Object of Rotary
To Encourage Interna-
tional Understanding

illusions of War" was the topic
of an address delivered to Rotary
Tuesday noon by Edward F. Flynn,
Of st. Paul, Director of Public Re
lations, of the Great Northern Rail-
way Co., and former director of
Rotary International. Mr.. Flynn
spoke in the public school on a SIM
liar topic during the afternoon.
Mr.. Flynn stated that we are liv-
ing in a strange age, when many
countries Of the world are at war,
and foreign forces are attempting
to involve our country in conflict,
yet he is convinced we are going to
stay out Of war. "Rotarians," he
said, because Of their belief in Ro-
tary's Fourth object to encourage
and foster the advancement Of in
ternational understanding, good
will, and peace through a world fell
lowship Of business and profession
al men united in the ideal of ser
vice must necessarily take a keen
interest in the all important ques-
ton of the position the United
States may take on the question of
neutrality in the so-called next
World War"
In stating that we must set our
own house in order before we go to
Europe to straighten them out, Mr..
Flynn asked: Can the participa-
ton of the United States in a war
involving Europe or Asia be Of ben
eft to the world in the long run?
What will it cost us to maintain
neutrality? Will it not be advan-
tageous to the whole world in the
end If we do remain neutral?"
We have no troubles on our bor-
ders, no trouble with Canada, none
with Mexico, he continued. Why
can't Europeans live like we do?
These are questions every thinking
person should ask himself today.
The correct answers will require
deep thought and study.
Mr.. Flynn then gave a resume of
the costs of wars to the world, and
particularly to the United States,
stating that the estimated cost of
the World War was four hundred
billion dollars, sixty billion for the
United States. Loss of life was
about 10,135,000 soldiers.
Naturally when the nations of
the world sacrifice the lives Of thir-
ty seven million people and delib-
erately waste four hundred billion
dollars, dire results must follow"
he said.
Large headlines herald the lives
lost in this country" he said. "Yet
in a war little mention is made of
thousands of lives lost. Is 1t more

MANAGEMENT
Meetings
First Session Scheduled
For Richmond Tuesday,
January %, At 1:30
CHOLERA SCHOOL
Will Be Held In
Albany February
Is and 16-Hog Disease.

First of a series of farm manage
ment meetings to be held in this
county this winter is scheduled for
Richmond on Tuesday, January %,
at 1:30 in the afternoon, in the vii
lage hall. J. B. McNulty, extension
economist, at University Farm, will
discuss the various phases of farm
management to be considered in
the county. For the Stearns coun-
ty meeting he will be fortified with
figures, charts and other data to
back up various statements con-
corning efficiency in the different
farm projects.
At the present time with agri-
cultural prices none too attractive,
farm folks should make every eff
fort to study costs of production
and distribution with a view of get
ting a margin for the raising of
agricultural produce. With little
or no immediate likelihood for any
upturn in agricultural prices, any
gains in holding down production
costs are bound to bring returns.
These farm management meet
ings are scheduled through the
county agents office, st. Cloud, and
advance enrolment for them are
requested. There will be three such
meetings and undoubtedly all three
will be held at Richmond, the next
two coming on February Is and
February q.
Folks contemplating taking part
in all three of these lessons are urg-
ed to send their enrollments in i'm
mediately. No formal enrolment
blank is necessary. Merely letting
the county agents office know that
a particular individual wishes to
take part will be sufficient. While
advance enrollments are expected
it will be possible for others to at
tend.
Because of the extreme attend
ance from all parts of the county
at the first hog cholera school con-
Quoted at st. Martin last year, an
other school has been scheduled for
this year. This years school will
be held at Albany on February Is
and 16. instruction work will be
in charge of DR.. w. A. Billings,
extension veterinarian from Uni
versity Farm.
Arrangements for this years
school are again being made thru
the county agents office, st. Cloud,
and because only one school can be
held in any county in one year, it
is desirable that a central location
be chosen for conducting the same.
According to the Minnesota Live
stock Sanitary Board there were
enough infestations of cholera in
Stearns County in 1889 to permit
the holding of another cholera
school.
For this two-day school the first
day and a half will be spent on
the study of swine diseases with the
bulk of the time spent on hog chol-
era and the control procedure
therefore. During the afternoon OF
the second day all contestants will

In accepting the craftsmanship of
this drive, Mr.. Caughren said that
he wants everyone to know that
this money will be used for civil
ians suffering from the war, and
not for war supplies or to aid Fin
land in the conduct of the war.
Those who wish to donate to
this cause, said Mr.. Caughren,
may leave their donations at
