MANY MERIT BADGES
Parents Inspired to Witness
Efficiency of Sons —Pro-
gram Interesting
The Court of Honor for Troop 25,
Boy Scouts, Sauk Centre, was held
at the Community Club rooms
Monday evening.
It is an inspiring sight to see the
enthusiasm of the youngsters and
the efficiency with which they give
the Scouth oath, the Scout signs,
an demonstrate many of the things
which the Scout, from Tenderfoot
to Veteran, are supposed to know.
The Court of Honor was in
charge of the Court of Honor com
mittee: Asa M. Wallace, chairman;
H. W. Bishop, W. M. Parker and
D. B. Caughren.
Mr. Schmitt, of St. Cloud, was
present and rendered valuable as
sistance, as did Scoutmaster Ralph
Kawolki. After the Court of Honor
had been opened by the chairman
Senior Patrol Leader Willis Dah
lem and a group of Scouts gave
the flag ceremony and the Scout
oath and law.
Scouts Carleton Eckberg, John j
Dußois and Homer Erickson made
short interesting talks on what the !
Court of Honor meant to Scouting.
Scout John Pesheck also made a I
fine address explaining the origin #
of Scouting in England and later
in America.
Carleton Eckberg, John Dußois
and Homer Erickson gave the three
parts of the Scout oath, each one
lighting a candle. A very interest
ing demonstration.
Mr. Schmitt awarded Arthur Mi
nette and Roland Rathe the Tend
erfoot awards. He quizzed the boys
as to their proficiency and they
came through with flying colors.
Second class awards were pre
sented to Carleton Eckberg, Homer
Erickson, Graham Morgan, John
Dußois and Harold Keldahl. This
was in charge of Mr. Kawolki.

SHOCK TO COMMUNITY
11l Two Weeks with Flu and
Complications—Funeral
Saturday
The community was painfully
shocked at noon Tuesday when
word reached the city that Mrs.
John J. Costello had passed away
at the St. Cloud hospital.
It was not generally known that
she was ill.
Two weeks ago she suffered an
attack of the flu. Later a mastoid
formed in her right ear, spreading
to her brain. Late Tuesday she
was hurried to the St. Cloud hos
pital for an emergency operation.
She became unconscious at 5:00 P.
M. Dr. Gelz operated at midnight
but Mrs. Costello never regained
consciousness, passing away at
10:50 A. M., Wednesday morning,
with her grief stricken husband,
two sons, John and Francis, a cous
in, Victor Flynn, and a dear friend,
Miss Ethel Winslow, at her bed
side.
Mrs. Costello was very widely
known and admired in the Sauk
Centre community for her many
splendid womanly traits of char
acter.
Clara Marie Tatro was born at
Nashua, Chickasaw county, lowa,
April 21, 1885. She was raised and
educated at Dougherty, Cerro
Gordo county, lowa. In 1901 she
moved to Sauk Centre with her
foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lovell
D. Harrison.
Aug. 21, 1907 the deceased was
united in marriage at Glenwood to
John J. Costello. Their entire mar
ried life was spent in Sauk Centre.
To this happy union two sons were
born, John, of St. Paul, and Fran
cis at home.
The remains were brought to
this city late Wednesday afternoon
and taken to the family home in
the north part of the city a 8:00
o’clock last evening.
The funeral will be held from the
Church of Our Lady of the Angels
Saturday, March 14, at 10:00 A. M„
conducted by the pastor, Rev. John
Fearon. The remains will be laid
to rest in Calvary cemetery.
Glenwood High School Won
Basket Ball Championship
Sauk Centre Wins Opener in
District Tourney—Defeat
ed by Glenwood
The dope as predicted by the
Herald editor ran true to form in
the District basketball tournament
at Alexandria Friday and Saturday
of last week.
Sauk Centre opened the tourna
ment at 10:00 a. m., Friday meeting
their friendly enemy, Osakis. The
Herald predicted that the locals
could win this contest with the pro
per fighting spirit. They played
beautiful basketball, leading Osakis
by a slight margin all the way. As
the two teams lined Friday morn
ing the best team won. The final
score tfas 13-10 in favor of Sauk
Centre. Hamilton, with seven points
was high scorer of the game.
Glenwood caught a tartar in the
Henning team for the second game
of the tournament. This game was
won by Glenwood almost in the final
minute play, the finals being Glen
wood 18 Henning 17.
The much touted Melrose team
took a terrible drubbing from Alex
andria in the opening game of Fri
day afternoon’s play, the final score
being 25-10. Melrose was outplayed,
out-fought and out-generalled all
the way.
In the final game Friday after
noon Parker’s Prairie gave the

Grey Eagle Card Sharks
Give Locals Drubbing
Trim Locals by 20 Points at Grand
Nula Thursday Evening
They Like it; Oh, Yeah.
That Grey Eagle gang of grand
nula high binders are inhospitable
hosts.
It will be recalled that a couple
of weeks ago they invited the
whist players of this city to be
their guests Thursday evening of
last week.
This invitation followed a close
victory won in this city by the
locals.
When Fred Mossman extended the
good will offerings of his town
there was a string attached —the
losers were to pay for the lunch
eon at the Grey Eagle set-to.
Came the Fatal Night
About 40 of the players in this
city climbed blithely into autos
and headed for the Hamlet on the
north happy in the thought that
they would meet a bunch of good
fellows and garner a free feed.
Play started shortly after 8:00
o’clock. In all the writer’s roamin’s
he never met up with as tight a
bunch of Scotchmen as is that
gang of card sharks from the
Todd county village.
From the time the first hand
was dealt until the closing period
the Main Street gang never had a
chance. At the finish Grey Eagle
led by 20 points.
The ladies of the Catholic church
served a marvelous lunch. Too
much for any normal man to eat
at that time of night.
Knowing a fine opportunity
when he saw it, it has been hinted
that perhaps our good friend,
Fred Mossman stored his surplus
away in capacious pockets for fu
ture reference.
At any rate it was a great eve
ning. The Grey Eagle gang are a
fine bunch of friends. So what
was 50c per Sauk Centre capita
among friends?
Warden of Canadian Guild
of Health in City Sunday
Spoke to Members of Episcopal
Church—Plan to Have Him in
City For Easter Service.
A service of unusual interest was
held in the Episcopal Church last
Sunday when Rev. T. E. Rowe,
warden of the Canadian Guild of
Health, gave an excellent sermon.
His mission to the United States
is lecturing on the purpose of ap
plying the power of the mind and
the spirit to the physical as well
as the spiritual needs. He has
been in this work for twelve years,
mostly among people who suffer
from mental and nervous weak
nesses.
He spoke of conditions as they
exist in this country today and his
tnlk was a revelation to the people
of the church. It is planned to
have Rev. Rowe here for the East
er service, and all of the members
hope that this may be accom
plished.
Long Prairie fans a terrible scare
but the Todd county lads finally
emerged with a 20-19 victory.
Out-weighed and out-played Sauk
Centre was badly defeated by Glen
wood in the semi-finals Friday eve
ning, the final score being Glen
wood 28, Sauk Centre 9.
Long Prairie’s showing against
Alexandria Friday evening must
have been a keen disappointment
to the team’s loyal supporters. Alex
andria took a lad early in the game
and were never headed.
In the Consolation game Satur
day evening Sauk Centre was
quickly disposed of by Long Prairie.
The husky lads from Todd County
scored 10 points in the first quarter
and six in the second at the half
way period by an 18-6 score. The
final was Long Prairie 28, Sauk
Center 9.
In final game Glenwood clearly
demonstrated its superiority over
over Alexandria and its right to be
district champions.
Alexandria, team and rooters, al
ways extremely hard losers, were
broken hearted over the outcome.
Class eventually told, however.
The final score was Glenwood 17,
Alexandria 10.
Mr. Angier, of Hancock, did the
refereeing and worked very well.
The games were played in the
new gymnasium erected at Alex
andria during the past year. This
gym compares quite favorably

Polled
OTHER TOWNS BATTLE
Carl Pauly Defeated Geo.
Grundman by Majority of
Results
Sauk Centre Township
At Tuesday’s annual township
elections the spirit of unrest was
in the air, apparently, as attempts,
partially successful, were made to
overturn the old order of things.
Take Sauk Centre township, for
instance. In 1930 17 votes were
polled at the annual town election.
In 1929 there were 13 votes cast.
The first indication of a turn over
was at the caucus Saturday after
noon when Carl Pauly, defeated
George Grundman as candidate for
supervisor for three years. Mr.
Grundman had served seven years
on the board.
Immediately after the caucus
friends of Mr. Grundman insisted
that he run as an independent
candidate. There was also a com
paign staretd for George F. P.
Minette for assessor against that
old war horse, Charles Kortan.
With a campaign on friends of
the candidates got exceedingly
busy. This extra effort brought
158 votes before the polls closed.
This was the largest vote cast in
Sauk Centre township in the mem
ory of man.
With the first 100 votes counted
Messers Pauly and Kortan were
making a run-a-way race. They
received very few out of the last
58 —but they were already over. Mr.
Pauly had a majority of eight over
Mr. Grundman and Mr. Kortan 14
over George Minette.
At the annual town meeting
$1,500 taxes were levied: $1,250 for
roads and bridges; S2OO general
fund, and $50.00 for poor.
The proposition to pay the City
of Sauk Centre $25.00 for each

Senior Glee
Club to Give
A Good Play
“The Pirate’s Daughter” to
Have Large Cast of Well
Trained Students
SEVERAL SPECIALTIES
Principal and Chorus Will
Maintain High Standard
of Former Years
Each year the Senior Class Glee
Club prepares a musical entertain
ment which is always high-class.
This year they have selected “The
Pirate’s Daugher,” a Legend of
Old Holland, musical comedy in
three acts by Keith Crosby Brown.
The cast of principal characters,
chorus girls and boys and special
ty artists takes in a large number
of pupils. The entertainment is
being directed by Miss Hammond,
director of music at the Sauk Cen
tre Public Schools.
“The Pirate’s Daughter” will be
presented at the Junior High
School Auditorium Thursday eve
ning, March 26, at 8 o’clock.
“The Pirate’s Daughter,” a Leg
end of Old Holland,” is in three
acts. A house party is given by
Mr. and Mrs. Van der Meer at their
estate on the Hudson. A newcom
er from India is engaged by the
hostess to put the whole gathering
of guests to sleep at one time. By
common consent they wish to
dream themselves back in Holland
three hundred years before. The
newcomer casts a spell over the
entire company, during which he
bums incense and sings a weird
chant.
A very happy love scene is de
picted by Elsie and Peter. Another
bright love episode is enacted by
Hans and Katrinka, the servants,
wherein a quaint wooden shoe
dance takes place in the moonlight.
Three pirate spies, Mate, Dub
and Bug, develop a very comic sit
uation around the name of the pi
rate flag known as the “Jolly Rog
er." The Burgomaster and Pirate
Chief are the centers of much
comedy also, but space permits on
ly this bare indication of the plot.
In Act 111 the newcomer re
moves his spell and the last stage
of the house party reveals all in
their true characters.
The following is the cast of
principals, chorus and specialty
artists.

The Merchants National and
First State Bank of Sauk Centre
are participating in the Veterans
Credit pool of $34,000,000 which has
been established by a group of
Twin City Bankers.
The money is immediately avail
able and a number of veterans of
the Sauk Centre community have
already availed themselves of loans
to be secured under the revised ad
justed compensation act. Already
loans exceeding $16,000,000 have
been granted Northwestern veter
ans under the original compensa
tion act.
It is contemplated that $50,000,000
will be needed for this work in the
Minnesota territory.
Applications for loans may be
made at either the Merchants Na
tional or First State Banks. All
new loans will be written on an an
nual interest basis of 4% per cent
per annum.
Under the provisions of the re
cent amendment to the World War
Compensation Act, the making of
loans up to 50 per cent of the face
value of the certificates is permit
ted two years after the date of the
! certificate. The original act, adopt
ed in January 1927, established
graduated loan values beginning at
8 per cent of the face value two
years after the date of the certifi
cate, which was usually January 1,
1925, and reaching as high as 22
per cent in 1930. Thus the collateral
value of the certificates is more
than doubled.
