CREAMERIEs TO Plight.
Plan to Unite Fight Determination in
Laws and Freight Rates.

Organization of the cooperative
wide association for the protection of
their interests, is contemplated by the
executice committee of the Minnesota
State Dairymans Association. F. D.
Currier, secretary of the association, OF
Nicollet, is about to issue call for a
meeting to be held in St. Paul early in
December when the creameries will be
banded together.
One of the purposes Of the new asso-
citation will be to maintain the present
high standard of Minnesota butter.
The claim is made that, by accepting
stale cream and placing an inferior fin
ished product before the consuming
public, the large centralizing plants are
working serious injury to the butter
industry 1t is also asserted that these
concerns have sought to obtain freight
and express rates which would place
cooperative creameries at a disadvan-
tage, and that they have tried to obtain
legislation. both from congress and from
the state legislature which would prove
nimical to cooperative and Individual
creameries. In the past these efforts
have been opposed by the state dairy
and food department, the Minnesota
State Dairyman's Association and the
Minnesota State Butter and Cheese
makers Association and the present
movement is intended to arouse the in
terest of creamery managers and direc-
tors. 1t is planned to engage the serv-
ices of a representative to give his
whole time to looking after the inter-
ests of the butter manufacturers.
Secretary Currier will mail circulars
to every creamery in the state asking
that delegates be sent to the St. Paul
meeting.

FEARFUL FIND IN
LONELY NORTHERN WOODS
Boy Prom Neighboring County Murder
cd North Of Two Harbors. Robbery
Was the Motive.

Edward B. Thies, son Of Mrs. Rosie
Thies Of this city, was murdered at AL
ger, a lonely crossing point of the Du-
luth & Iron Range and the Minneapolis
& Rainy River railroads in the woods
situated twelve miles north of Two Har-
bors where nothing but a station stands.
The unfortunate man was 81 years OF
age and had been employed as a cook
in lumber camp situated about two
miles and half from where he me. his
death.
His lifeless body was found by a
hunter last Sunday morning lying on
the ground in the timber about 200
yards from the station. Police officers
at Two Harbors were notified and the
body was conveyed to that city where
an inquest was held. The post mortem
examination disclosed the fact that the
young man had been shot twice in the
head. One of the bullets was extracted.
Medical men at the examination testi-
fled that either Of the wounds was suf-
ficient to cause instant death. The wea-
pom had been held in one instance SO
close to the victims head that the hair
had been singed by the exploding pow
der. The coroners jury returned ver-
dict of murder
The young man when found was ly-
ing upon his coat in his shrt-sleeves,
and the pockets in his clothing were
turned inside out which showed that
robbery was the motive for the bloody
deed. 1t is the opinion of physicians
who examined the body mat the man
had been dead five or six days.
About twenty-five yards from the re-
mains of young Thies lay another
corpse which was so badly decomposed
as to make recognition Impossible. The
man had evidently been dead about two
or three months and bullet hole in his
skull showed that he had met the same
fate as the Glencoe man.-Glencoe En-

ART APPLIED TO EVERYDAY LIFE
Willmar Soon to Enjoy an Exhibit BY
the Minnesota State Art Society.

Some public spirited citizens of Will
mar have applied to the Minnesota State
Art Society for its travelling exhibits
to be shown this winter. Some thirty
cities ard towns in the state already are
on the list for exhibitions and it is prob
able that the people of Willmar will be
among ne thousands who will enjoy
these art education programs. The dates
will be announced soon.
The exhibits themselves will be ex-
amples OF artistic handicraft work Of
many kinds done in Minnesota, samples
of art work in public schools, and illus
tratons of the application of art ~
housekeeping and industry, and the fur
Their use of MinnesOta's resources. Ac-
compauvinS the exhibits will be lee
ture which will describe and discuss the
practical application Of artistic princi-
pies in everyday home life and bust
ness. When the exhibit is here, or i'm
mediately thereafter, the State Library
Commission will send to this city books
on art in industry, handicraft, ETC., so
those whose interest In any phase of
the subject is aroused by the exhibits
may obtain further information.
1t should be borne in mind that Art
as fostered and encouraged by the State
Art Society is not merely the art of
pretty pictures. One of the main feat
ures Of the work of this department of
the state government is to show the
people how art is related to manufac-
ture-to the manufacture of almost
anything from rag rugs and lace and
embroidery to residences public build
ings, parks, town plannings, etc. AL
ready the society has proved it's value
by giving instruction and suggestions
which have provided new sources of
profit to individuals and groups of peO-
pie and enhanced the beauty of various
places. Citizens will be fortunate In
having concrete examples of this prac-
teal art work brought to them and
doubtless will avail themselves of the
opportunity to gain advantages from 1t
which people elsewhere have gained.
