| The monthly temperance meeting of the
! the W. c. T. L. was held in the Congre
| |ational church. The audience was adj
dressed by Mrs. L. J. Smith of St. Cloud,
county superintendent of the w. c. T. L.
Her subject was, 'Work for those behind
the Bars" and the speaker, with her ten
der sympathy for the unfortunate, awak-
cned a responsive chord in the hearts of
her hearers who testified their apprecia-
| ton by q liberal contribution. Such an
| address should arouse christian pcOple to
al active interest in the untor tunate and
clring victims of the drink traffic. We
hope Mrs. Smith will come again.

Tor governor, stepped off the cars on
Friday Oh his way westward. He con-
graduated the trainers on tllier prosperi-
TX and healthy growth in material vel
lurc since he first came here in 1862, and
said The bcastly and robber tariff was to

porous and, congratulated them upon
tI.eir poverty. No, that's not right

upon their wonderful prosperity, and
cursed the tariff which had been in force

prosperous, any way.
THE PROPOSED CREAMERY.-OurI
business men and farmers should be srrc
u attend the meetings that have been
called for the purpose of considering a
proposition to establish 4 irst-class
Creamery and cold storage attachment
; il. our village. AS it was found impossi-
| bic TO fix upon any one time that would
~ convenient for both farmers and our
! business men, Mr.. Briggs agreed to hold
two meetings, one on Friday evening for
tlnc business men of the village and the
| other on Saturday afternoon, which will
/ i5t 4 convenient time for the farmers.
| These meetings are for the purpose of
giving Il thorough explanation of the
. creamery system advocated by Mr..
| BRIGGS, and to enable him to learn
! whether the situation and wants of our
Turning community, and the interests of
our business men, are such as to warrant
! lnc establishment OF the pant at this
| place. It would seem that this is a mat
| ter of too grave Importance to be permit
| ted to fail through by reason of any apa-
| Thy of want OF interest on the part of our
| ri.iHcus 1t is matter that should in
tcrcst us all. The time has come when
We should be casting about for some way
OF diyersifylng or farming. The ques-
con is being asked After wheat, WHAT"
and we should be preparing an answer.
Crcamerics have solved the problem in
| Iowa and in southern Minnesota; let us
give the subject careful thought and con-
sdcration to see if they may not do as
much for us. We frequently hear about
| Ycttinc manufacturing started in Sank
Centre. Here is Z manufacturing enter
| prize that just reaches our needs-it man
rrfucturcs one of our staple products into
4 Ii sh priced understandable article;
whereas, 4 large part of that product is
now being wasted by improper handling
| and by making cheap and unsuitable
article. 1t takes more good milk to make
q pound of "grease" y*orth from five to
ten cents per pound than it does to make
q pound of good creamery butter worth
twenty FIVE cents. There is where the
profit of this Find Of a factory comes in.
LATER-Thc meeting called for Friday
evening will probably be postponed until
Saturday evening, of which due notice
will be given.
