"Poor Dear Edgar"
Comedy Vehicle, Well
Received BY Audience
PARTS WELL PLAYED
Orchestra and Octet
Add To Evenings
School Entertainment

AS the first Senior High class
play held in the new high school
auditorium, "Poor Dear Edgar" a
comedy in three acts, was success
fully presented, with a very large
attendance enjoying the humorous
offering.
This play was presented Friday
evening, May 10th.
Before the rise of the curtain,
the school orchestra, under the di-
rection Of Music Instructor Ed
Kitzberger, presented an enjoyable
number, and between scenes one
and two of act one, the school
Octet sang, MA Little Banjo"
This octet, composed Of four boys
and four girls, sang splendidly.
The play, Poor Dear Edgar"
depicted humorous events Of mod
ern American College youth at a
staid old college, where Edgar Ap-
plethwaite, played by Johnny
Strauss, caused concern through
his activities and was finally ex-
PEELED. His lucky trading, starting
with a shoe string and ending with
$4,000 with which he purchased
the bonds Of the college and saved
the day, furnished the theme for
the play.
Opening the play, Miggs, a SER
want of the dean in the college
played by Margaret Markson, went
about her work, while she talked
to Coky Bradford, played by Carl
Hildebrand. Coky, and the students,
Betty Carlyle dorothy Peterson,)
Ed Coleman Cray Berggreen,) and
Buggins Bates, phyllis Pangburn) !,
were concerned about an orchestra
for the annual college dance, which
Edgar, as the chairman Of the
dance committee, was instructed to
engage. 1t was Edgar's big chance,
gained through the insistent de-
mands Of Betty Carlyle, and Ed
gar made good, although there was
some doubt about 1t.
Other actors were Beatrice BY
ron (Cholera) played by Grace
Chandler; Dean Thomas by Billy

tary to the president of the college,
Dorothy Hansen; Arabella Smith,
a former student, Shirley Carpen-
ter; Diana Dana, Joyce Kane;
Skoozie Skillman, orchestra leader,
Donald Lamb.
All of the characters were excel
lently portrayed by the students,
and the successful presentation of
the comedy reflects great credit on
the ability of Miss Dorothy Wilson,
who directed the play.
Others who aided in making the
play successful were: Alberta

Lanpert
Lumber Co.
Burglarized
Early Sunday Morning
Robbery Melted $59.71
To Perpetrators
TAKE FINCERPRINTS
Thought Local Talent
Did Job, Said L.
Blycker, Manager

Early Sunday morning, the
Lampert Lumber company Of
flee was entered by burglars,
and $59.71 in cash was taken.
The robbery, it was thought,
occurred sometime between
midnight and early morning.
Entry to the building was
gained through a door on the
north side, where the glass
broken from the door gave ac-
cess to the key. No stock was
taken, nor were other valuables
missed.
Robbers evidently had a COM
plete layout Of the interior Of
the office and knew just where
tools, ETC., were kept. The safe,
which is always open and bears
the sign, Unlocked! No valu-
ables inside" was ransacked
and the wooden partitions were
broken out. The money was
hidden somewhere in the office
and the burglars sought until
they found it.
After local police officers
were called, Sheriff McIntee
was summoned from st. Cloud,
and fingerprints were taken
from a hammer used in the op-
erations Of the burglars. From
the way the robbery was COM
mitted, officers believed that
the job was perpetrated by loc-
al talent.

SUFFERED BROKEN JAW
Little Boy Severely
Burned By Hot
Grease Friday Noon

Jean Steffes, 11-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Steffes,
who reside on a farm about two
miles south Of Sauk Centre, was
seriously injured when she fell un-
der a moving tractor Friday eve
ming. The accident occurred at
about six o'clock.
At the st. Cloud hospital x-ray
pictures revealed a fractured Jaw
and splintered or cracked leg. She
was also badly bruised along the
entire right side Of her body, for
the rubber-tired tractor ran from
her foot along the entire side up
over her face.
Jean and a number of children
were playing kittenball in the yard
at the farm, when she ran after
the ball. Butch Iwinski, driver of
the tractor, did not notice the lit
tie girl, and as he turned she was
caught under the wheels. The lit.
tie girl saw the tractor, but did
not realize that the driver was 60
ing to turn the machine around
said a member Of the family.
Although Jean suffered consid-
erable pain, her condition was re-
ported as favorable, however, she
will be laid up for months from
the leg and jaw injury, said Mr..
Steffes Tuesday morning.
Able to return from the hospital,
Jean was brought home Wednes-
day, to recuperate from her ter
rible and unfortunate experience.
The broken jaw was set at the hos
pital, but because of the severe
swelling the leg could not be fixed
at that time, and the injured men,
ber will be cared for at home later.

Three New

1910 Started On
Normal Program Say
City Builders
1889 BEST YEAR
Home Buying Speeded
Up By Scarcity of
Rented Houses

With demand for new homes vet
a pressing need after stimulated
program in 1889 that saw six homes
erected and several others extern
sively remodeled, the 1910 early sea-
son home building market was CIV
en- only mild injection of activity
that finds three homes now under
construction and a fourth slated
to go.
Lumbermen of the city would
hazard no guess on whether the
program would gain momentum, or
whether it would equal or surpass
the 1889 figure. They did say
possibility of Others" but home
building depends on so many
things.
The prOgram-On which esti-
mate on aggregate construction
cost is unavailable at this time
is described as normal" not
boom proportions of course.
The trend here, IL was pointed
out by those in the business,
has been characterized here by
steadying influence which is
healthier In the long run
aspect.
Although the pace has been
steady, 1889 was called one of the
best years in home building con-
struction in the last five. 1910
has been characterized by a furry
in purchasing residence property
that may, or may not, have some
bearing on further building opera
tions, it was indicated.
Homes now under construction
include:
A six room New England colon
ial model on north Main Street
erected by Clyde S. Thomas. The
site is just across the river over
looking the dam. Mr.. Thomas stat
ed that construction is moving
along well and it's possible, with
a weather break, construction Of
the roof will get under way late
this week.
The corner Of Fourth and Maple
streets gets new home on the site
of the old Capser home, razed sew
eral years ago. It's being built
by Albert Eckberg, and is now un-
der construction.
Ward Roberts announced that a
home he is planning on Second
street will be erected. Construc-
tion is not yet underway and plans
are not completed for the model.
The garage has already been erect
ed, he said.
The fourth is a story and a half
home being built on the dairy farm
of Borgmann brothers, Art and
Evert, it was announced. Construc-
tion is already under way.
Estimate of the 1889 aggregate
home construction cost was figured
roughly at $4,000.
Several houses have changed
hands this year, with a buying pro-
gram speeded up by a scarcity Of
houses for rent.
Mrs. r. E. Hansen announced
Wednesday morning that she had
sold her home on Maple Street to
A. Cordell, operator at the Sauk
Lake Creamery. The deal was clos
ed Tuesday. Mrs. Hansen plans to
leave the city and during the sum-
mer will make her home with her
and son-in-law, Mr.. and

cerned, because, according to a
recent poll, 70 percent of them
want to go to college or have con-
tinued study and of that group
more than half would like to attend
the Sauk Centre Junior Extension
College. What's more the bends of
the class swing all the way from
housework to aeronautical engin-
eering and medical technology. And
housework is in the extreme min
ority.
Perhaps surprising, in the light
Of occupational preference in other
cities, is that they don't want to
be teachers. Only IL per cent Of
the entire group polled chose the
teaching profession.
