FILTERATION® PLANT MIGHT PROVE MOST\ SATISFACTORY IN LONG RUN The soliving of the water supply problem for the City of Sauk Centre is a question that ’is causing the Light and Power Commission and City Council no end of worry. The Herald understands that one of the plans cosidered is the sinking of series of wells to furnish wate} which can be used for all purposes. ~ Another plan is the installation of a filteration. system and continuing the use of the water from Sauk Lake. THe sinking of wells is very large ly a matter of speculation, it appears to the Herald. Six' wells might do it, or it might. take a dozen or more. We also understand that if the water should be secured from wells that both the Gt. Northern and Northern Pacific roads would be compelled to give up the purchase of city water for engine use, as the water is too hard for this purpose. These companies are the heaviest patrons of the city water system. If the water underlying the city is hard, it would also be a great inconvenience for the housewife—especially these homes which are not connected with cisterns as the well water would be too hard for washing and many other domestic purposes. To secure the necessary pressure for fire protection, the installation of wells would necessarily mean the erection of a standpipe. At the present prices of steel, this would be very expensive. A plan worth thorough investigating anyway before the light and power commission and city council are committed to the sinking of a series of wells, would be the tract of land near the Norwegian Old Folks Home in the south part of the city. This tract is 66 feet above Main and Third streets. It has been suggested by men who have had some experience in waterworks and sewerage construction that a reservoir of sufficient depth to hold all the water the city would use for some time to come could be sunk at this point at a comparatively low cost. The plan contemplates the erection of the filter station plant at the side of the reservoir, running a direct and distinct set of mains from the lake to the filter station plant, then into the reservoir and out again and distributed throughout the city. Which ever horn of the dilema the city tackles in - solving' the water problem will involve the expenditure of a large sum of money. Before any definite plan is adopted the Herald would urge the light and power com mission to call a mass meeting of the citizens, have the various plans exs plained to them, and then be guided largely by the conclusion arrived at at such a meeting. , It is not the purpose of the Herald to throw a monkey wrench into any plans that may be under considera tion for the settling of the water problem, but the public naturally are interested, and desire to co-operate with the officials in what is hest for the city in the long run, after all gldaqs havp been thoroughly censider- The immediate expenditure of a few thousand dollarsxg:are or-less, at this time, is one of - minor mat ters of consideration. - Permanent and satisfactory service is the big sy <4 e 2 5 PR RN T SR 08l 1S R o Rgl Ao SR e G NS e ,&;1;\'&1 o USR ABBk Ll A et RN 8- o e T e NN s SR G A Do R R LNAB RTR v B St ‘;:;,f_; B .55"5 e i‘ﬁ?ﬁ’ i 0 s LN 3 &’g};‘g;« ef o !;" i?r&’:;‘&ﬁ‘ £ hes IF YOU CAN'T BE SICK---BE CAREFUL With the epidemic of influenza again abroad in the land, and the numerous cases of “severe colds” reported in Sauk Centre and vicinity, it behoves the public at large to give some little atten tion to surrounding conditions. As yet, no epidemic of influenza has been reported here, but judging from the numerous cases of “colds” it is well to be careful that conditions do not become worse. If you feel tired out, your head aches, bones ache, and you have a cold, go to bed. Don't wait until tomorrow. If you don't feel well, and you feel that you are going to be sick, the least you can do is stay at home. Don't expose other people to your cold because colds are contagious. A spread of epidemic here again will mean the closing of the schools, churches, theatres, and public meeting houses. The public can best prevent this condition by taking care of themselves when they feel the usual symptoms of illness coming on. If you can't be sick—be careful! Cass Lake Too Fast For Machine Gunners Independent Team From the North Gives Locals First Defeat of the Season The basketball team representing the Sauk Centre Machine Gun Company and American Legion have been expanding their playing territory. After cleaning up the teams in this section, they were looking for other laurels. The Independent team from Cass Lake were booked for a game Tuesday evening, and the result was disastrous, the final score being 29 to 15 in favor of the visitors. The visitors play was built around their center which is not only 6 feet four inches tall, but he shoots baskets from any angle, guared, or unguarded. Of the 29 points made by Cass Lake, this gave them a score of 238. The game was fast and very rough but was a thriller to watch. The locals can offer no excuses for defeat: The best team won. During the season’s play, these huskies from the pine woods have only been defeated once, and they have one tie game, so the Herald understands. Their team play was smooth, accurate, and rapid. They have played together for several seasons, and Sauk Centre folks are certain they have “arrived.” The locals had several chances to shoot baskets but their shots were a little short, as the score indicates. School Declamatory Contest Scheduled Winners to Journey to Glenwood For the district Contest on February 15th In the Senior High School assembly room at seven-thirty Friday evening, February 6th, there will be an Oratorical and Declamatory contest given by nine pupils of the high school. The winners in this contest will compete with members from other schools. Two MINUTE TALKS TO AMERICAN Auerica First American WAKE UP, AMERICANS! By F. W. Murphy, President Minnesota State Agricultural Society. The rifle shots which resulted in the death of the soldier boys at Centralia, Washington, have echoed and re-echoed around the globe. They have aroused to action true patriots everywhere. What an indictment to our civilization and citizenship that it should require such a horrible tragedy to arouse the people of America to the appreciation of the grave dangers which confront us! In all the long annals of time none have more nobly died or are more entitled to be classed as martyrs in the cause of humanity than the four young men who gave their lives that their countrymen might be aroused to the necessity for prompt and vigorous action against the enemies of the nation. And how fervently should we hope that the people are now fully alert and appreciative of the dangers about us! Who were the men who have shocked the country by this horrible crime? To what brood of vipers do they belong? The slain boys were certainly not their personal enemies. Why did they commit the act? Every citizen of Minnesota should search for the true answer to these questions. Surely these men were not incited to murder by the loyal citizens of the country. On the contrary, they were blind followers of vicious leaders who from the soap box or through the infamous press have been sowing seeds of hate, dissention, and discord. Who is the most depraved villain, the one who shoots from ambush or the man who incites others to acts of violence? Any man who disseminates hate and prejudice and arrays class against class is as dangerous an enemy as the one who is prevailed upon by him to commit a crime against the public. And inasmuch as there are many paid agitators running at large in this state preaching the gospel of unrest and disseminating that poison which results in a lack of harmony, discontent, and prejudice, would not be well for our citizens to assert themselves and straightway kick these snakes out of the grass? The people of Minnesota resolve their problems by working in harmony. Let us arouse ourselves for mutual protection—for the preservation of our homes, our property, our government. Every child should appreciate the fact that any man who by the spoken word or through the law and hate, and arrays class against class in bitter strife, is a public enemy. Schools in this district at Glenwood Friday, February 13th. Another interesting feature of this contest. Est is that the winners will also have their names engraved on the Oratorical cup which was presented to the school by the class of 1912. The contestants are: Hannah Anderson, Lillian Rosenberger, Mildred Geuting, Ariel Whipple, Ellen Haugjord, Lillian Brooks, Neil Lidenberg, Sentry Hillerud, and Carroll Stephenson. A small admission of ten cents will be charged. High School Squad Loses to Glenwood Sauk Center Gives Glenwood Basket Ball Team a Hard Game in Latter City Having never been defeated upon their home floor, the Glenwood high school basketball team did not see fit to break their chain of luck last Thursday night, and as a result, the Sauk Center school team met their first defeat in several weeks. The score was 18 to 16 in favor of Glenwood. It was a battle royal throughout the entrantest. Sauk Center has a fast team and they played the game every minute leading their opponents at the close of the first half by a score of 9 to 6. E. Gamradt, one of Sauk Center’s star forwards, received an injury to his left knee which put him out of the game and crippled the local squad. It required a close decision in the closing minutes of the game to give the final score to Glenwood. Charles Allen, Jr., officiated as referee for Sauk Center. The Sauk Center team plays Alexandria at Alexandria Friday evening. Glenwood will give Sauk Center return game here on Friday, Feb. 20th. The boys of the second team played Glenwood second team the same evening, the score being 8 to 4 in favor of Glenwood. Mrs. Carl Schwankee of West Union spent Friday in Sauk Centre visiting with friends. HARRISON E. WALKER DEAD Harrison E. Walker, retired lumberman, and for many years a summer visitor at Sauk Centre, died at Leamington Hotel in Minneapolis last Monday. Mr. Walker was a school chum of R. A. White of this city with whom he made his home for summers. Deceased was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in Company K, 27th Mass. Infantry, through the war. The funeral was held last Wednesday in Minneapolis. WILL BUILD SOON It is the plan of H. Otto and Sons garage men, to commence the construction of their new garage building on Main Street just as soon as weather conditions will permit. The company have disposed of the building on their property occupied by Mrs. Kitty Coyle Hansen as a millinery shop, and the structure will be moved. The new garage building will be 66x160 feet in dimensions and will be of brick and tile. There will be a 66 foot front and the building will be modern in every respect. Mr. Otto expects that the building will be ready for occupancy by June 1st. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL MEN GATHER HERE FORTY DELEGATES FROM IN STITUTIONS OF STATE VISIT SAUK CENTRE SCHCOLS BANQUET AT PALMER HOUSE SCHOOLS HOLD NIGHT SESSION FOR BENEFIT OF GUESTS. HUNDREDS ATTEND Forty representatives of the Smith-Hughes Vocational school system in Minnesota, were guests of Sauk Centre school authorities last Friday and Saturday. The delegates present represented schools in most every city in the 6th Congressional district and they spent last Friday and Saturday in inspecting the fine new school here and the method of instruction adopted in Sauk Centre. A program, consisting of the welcoming of the delegates to Sauk Centre, and the discussion of subjects connected with the work in vocation at departments of Minnesota schools, took up the best part of Friday and Saturday. For the first time in history, a night session was held in the local school for the benefit of the guests and the inspection of the public at large. The school session opened at 8 o’clock and continued until 10 o’clock. During this period, school was in session in all of the departments, and the guests were escorted through the rooms by ushers. Hundreds of the people were in attendance at this school session and the building was crowded with guests throughout the evening. The building, all lighted up, presented a beautiful appearance. The visitors and a few of the local business men were guests of the school board at a splendid banquet daintily served at the Palmer House at six o’clock Friday evening. Mr. Phillips of the state department was advertised on the program as toastmaster, but he was compelled to leave for St. Paul on the 7 o’clock train. This batted the responsibility up to Supt. John C. West of the Sauk Centre schools. The gentleman demonstrated that he was an artist in such a position. He was relentless in his introductions, and every man present was called upon to tell a story, sing a song or dance a jig. The fun was fast and furious with a liberal amount of solid chunks of wisdom interspersed. The feast ended shortly after eight o’clock when most of the visitors attended the evening session of the Sauk Centre schools. THIRD LYCEUM COURSE The third number of the Lyceum course given under the direction of the board of education will take place at the Junior High School Auditorium on Friday evening, Feb. 13. The Minneapolis Operatic company will be the attraction. Among the many musical organizations of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Operatic company is distinctive. They are high-grade artists, ably directed. You will miss a rare treat if you miss this number. DIED IN SALT LAKE This Thursday afternoon W. O. P. Hilsadle received a wire from his son, Paul, at Salt Lake City, Utah, stating that his wife had passed away with pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. Hilsdale and little daughter spent several weeks in Sauk Centre about Christmas time. Mr. Hilsdale was first taken with the flu, followed by his wife and daughter with the above results. The deceased was about 26 years old. It is expected that she will be buried at her old home. AT THE LEGION TO HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL PRESENT HONOR BADGES TO NEXT OF KIN OF DEAD HEROES ON FEB. 22nd.: S p——— SRS i VOTE HEARTY. SUPPORT TO AUXILIARY—ASK CONCIL FOR FOR QUARTERS Memorial services for the dead and the presentation to the next of kin, of ‘badges of honor, will be held by the Robert James Swift Post, American Legion, on February 22, Washington’s birthday. It is the plan of the post to hold the services in the high school auditorium, if possible, in conjunction with the students of the high school. Every effort will be made on the part of the Legion to make these services as impressive as possible. In connection with these services, the local post together with all posts in the nation, will assist in conveying to the next in kin of American soldiers, sailors and marines who died in the war, an impressive appreciation on the part of the French government in the form of engraved certificates. Ex-national commander of the American Legion has made arrangements with the general of the army for the distribution of approximately 118,409 certificates through posts of the Legion in all cities and towns where posts have been organized. To those living in outlying sections, the certificates will be mailed. The certificates for relatives of deceased soldiers who reside in foreign countries will be presented through the military attaches of the allied countries while those for Porto Rico, Alaska, Manila and Hawaii will be distributed under the direction of the several department commanders of the American Legion. The certificate shows a group figure from the cenotaph in the Avenue des Champs Elysee, Paris. In the scroll above are the dates “1914-1919”. Above the group is a quotation from Victor Hugo which freely translated reads, “The people should come to pray at the graves of those who died for their country.” The inscription reads, “To the memory of soldiers of the United States of America.” America, who died for liberty during the great war and the homage of France, and the engraved signature of the president of the French Republic, Raymond Poincaré. The honor roll is made up of 107,952 soldiers, 6,800 sailors, and 33657 marines. The Marine Corps received its allotment of testimonials too late to address and send them to district recruiting offices for delivery to local posts for presentation, and all Marine Corps testimonials will be accordingly mailed direct to the next of kin. In the letter of instruction to the various posts, Franklin D’Olier, national commander of the American Legion said: "Regarding the promotion of Honorary Certificates by the French High Commission at the direction of the French government to the next of kin of the men of this country who made the war sacrifice in this World War, your hearty cooperation is sought in order that every precaution may be made through your efforts not only to cause that commands our deepest respect but also to a ceremony that will establish for once and for all what this great brotherhood is doing in the interest of those, as for ourselves." Our program furnished by the Community Service Incorporated Legion posts throughout the country suggesting the form of exercise, to include addresses and musical numbers, including both French and American compositions. Special service. The relatives of the deceased will be distributed following the ceremony. The question of a recent course was presented to the post at its meeting Tuesday evening.
