FOR DEDICATION
Methodist EpisCopa! Church Ser
vices Next Sunday
ALL IS IN READINESS
Elaborate Program Prepared for the
Occasion and Pastor and People
are Happy

The Methodist Episcopal church of
Sauk Centre will be dedicated next
Sunday, August 80.
The church was built ten years ago
more ago, Rev. c. B. Brecount, who
died in 1904, having charge of the
work. Mr.. Brecount wore himself out
In this. work and the building stands
today a monument to his energetic
endeavors.
The church had debt hanging over
it when it was completed and that
of course stood in the way of dedi-
cation. Through the efforts of the
present pastor Rev. J. S. Kingan, alb
ly supplemented by his congregation,
and the official board of the church,
this debt has been cancelled and the
building is now ready to be dedicat-
ed.
A fine twelve page program with
fancy cover, printed by The Herald,
has been prepared for the occasion.
This program includes fine half tone
pictures of the church, the pastor,
the late Rev. G.. B. Brecount, Rev
Doctor s. p Long and Rev. E. K
Cooper, both of whom will take part
in the dedicatory services. The en-
tire dedicatory service as laid down
in the Book of Discipline of the
Methodist church, is included.
The dedicatory service will be held
at 10:3O a. M, led by the two visit
ing clergymen named above. Special
music has been prepared for the oc-
casion. The annihilation of the mort
gage that has been on the building
for some years, will be an interesting
part of the service Following this
the trustees will present the building
to the clergymen in charge, and the
congregation takes part in the clos
ing responsive readings and prayer.
The members of the church and
the pastor are looking forward to the
occasion with pleasurable anticipa-
tions. They have labored long and
earnestly and the consummation of
their labors will come next Sunday.
Pastor Kingan extends a cordial invi-
tation to the members of other de-
nominations and to the public gen.
orally to attend the services.
There is to be Morning Watch
service conducted by the EpWorth
League at $50 a. M, at which
special offering will be taken for the
Sunday school. In the evening the
visiting clergymen will hold a gener-
al service.

HOME INDUSTRIES
A Plea for the Support of the
Local Creamery
OFFICIAL STATISTICS
Statement From the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture Relative to
the Matter

Chas. A. Morse, secretary of the
Minnesota Cooperative Diaries AS
sociation, has received the following
letter, under date of August 10, from
3. D. White, in charge of dairy man
ufacturing Investigations, u. S. de-
partment of agriculture:
81 am in receipt of your blanks.
which you evidently are sending to
the creameries in the state of Mime
sofa. l wish to take this opportunity
to compliment you on the stand you
are taking in reference to this mat
ter. 1 am glad to know that Mime
sofa creameries are commencing to
realize that it is absolutely necessary
for them to get together and stick
together to further promote the 10
cal creamery interests. Heretofore.
many Of the Minnesota creamerymen
seem to have been under the i'm
preston that that particular state was
immune from the attacks of the CEN
tralizers, but one who thoroughly un-
derstands the situation cannot help
but believe that unless the local crea-
meries get together and improve their
conditions, it will only be question
of time until there will be few local
creameries.
"The centralizers now control Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Montana, Utah, Idaho, Texas, prac-
tically all of South Dakota, most of
North Dakota, southern Iowa, and are
making inroads On Illinois, Indiana.
Michigan and Ohio as well as wes-
tern Minnesota, and eastern and south
ern Wisconsin, but 1 feel sanguine
that If the local creameries will inter-
est themselves and show their hand
in some of these projects, it will only
be short time until the tide will be
turned and the local creamery will
again flourish. I say this for the
reason that in states now controlled
by the centralizers the price paid
farmers for butterfat for the month
of July was from 16 to 10 cents and
20 cents where there was competition
of the local creameries, while the
local creamcries will pay in the neigh
borhood of 5 cents per pound more.
This is the difference between profit
and no profit to the farmer. In one
case he works for the fun of it for
the concerns who are monopolizing
the business, and the other case such
as Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa, the farmer gets all there is in
the bushes.
"We hope you will get the moral
and financial support of large num-
Der of creameries in your state. You
would be interested to attend the
hearing yourself. l will be there to
complete my testimony. / was on
the stand one day in June and do not
know how much longer it will take
to introduce all the evidence we
have"

THE HOUSE."

Spokane, Oct. 2.-'I will vote for
any man in preference to Joe Cannon

Miles Poindexter, republican candi-
date for reelection as speaker, !
The only qualification of this dec
laration which Poindexter makes is
that the candidate for speaker must
represent the Taft-Roosevelt policies.
Where he is from, how long he has
been in congress or the color of his
hair will make no difference, so long
as he is in line with the doctrines of
the president and the prospective
president.
This statement was made by Judge
Poindexter over the long-distance tel
ephone from Colfax this morning in
answer to a challenge which was fire.
quently made by his democratic OPP
ponent, William Goodyear, for Judge
Poindexter to state where he stood

land, Me-, to Portland, Ore, follow
ing the borders of the United States,
a distance of 5000 miles. He is not

which to win his wager he must cover

ing a small wheelbarrow covered
with postcard souvenirs of the jour-
ney. In the inside of this vari-col-

Colonial Jack, whose real name is

complete the task in the given time,
400 days, Mr.. Krohn is compelled to
walk at east - miles daily The
longest walk yet made in one day is
vania and eastern Ohio.-200 miles
for the week.
Since starting on the long tramp
Mr.. Krohn has worn out four pairs
in weight, and expects to be as hale
and strong at the finish as he was at
the start.
In the course of the trip he will
of necessity meet many adventures
and experiences, and it is these ex-
periences and a description of the
country through which he passes, of
which he means to write and pay
expenses of the walk
slack is Newspaper Man.
Mr.. Krohn is a newspaper man and
theatrical manager by profession
and the strange adventure he is now
undertaking is merely little recre-
alton from labor, he says. He claims
to be enjoying the trip, and states
that he and his wife are together
every Sunday, she following or going
ahead on the train. They will spend
next Sunday at LeavenwOrth provid-
ed the husband gets along that far.
