YEA VERIFY"

On. that memorable and beautiful
last September day, when st Cloud,
to the number of 1900, in 120 autos
and big special train, attended the
County Fair at Sank Centre, like the
Apostles who visited the mountain
with the Saviour, our people were so
well pleased that some of them said
to Mayor McGibbon: LET us here
build monument, in the form of a
St. Cloud Buildingw And it seemed
very good! And it came to pass, at
the meeting of, the Commercial Club
last evening, that the matter was
brought up and a committee was ap-
pointed to consider and report upon
the practicability of erecting St
Cloud Building on the County Fair
Grounds.
"And the Master said: "Unless We
shall forgive We shall not be for
given" -St. Cloud Times.

WIN AT POULTRY SHOW
Sank Centre Birds show Class at
Recent Exhibition Held
in st. Cloud.

Sank Centre has acquired the habit
of getting there. 1t is the finest little
city, situated in the finest locality in
the finest state in the Union. The
people living here admit this, so it is
not necessary to adduce any argu-
ments to prove it. Not only did this
city put up the finest county fair ever
given in Minnesota but whenever her
citizens go after prizes in other fairs
or shows they bring home the bacon
by the quality of the exhibits they
enter.
The Poultry Show held in St. Cloud
November 24-27, was no exception to
this rule.
C. NJ Bryant of this city was one
of the 25 persons to exhibit Rhode
Island Reds. He took the first prize
for the finest cockrel, first, second and
third prizes for the finest pullet, and
first prize for pen of five birds.
Kenneth McCullom, grandson Of
MIR. Bryant, is also some poultry man
and for a boy made a remarkable
showing. His speciality is Buff Or
pingtons. He took second prize for
cockrel, second for pullet and third
prize for best pen Of five birds. The
Judges stated that Kenneth's pullet
was by far the best shaped bird on
exhibition but owing to the fact that
it's neck and tail feathers had not
fully developed placed it second.
There were about twenty entries in
this division.
The Judging was done by Ralph
Whitney the noted poultry expert Of
the famous Brackland poultry farm
of Rochester, which is a guarantee of
it's reliability.
It will soon get so that when Sank
Centre parties make exhibits at fairs
and exhibitions the management will
send the first prizes to them by ex-
press before they begin and divide up
the balance among residents of other
places.

Thomas w. Gallagher, who has
been critically i'll with pneumonia,

The gentleman's recovery is little
less than miraculous, as he is rs years

WEEK END OUTING
Sank Centre and Little Falls Young
Folks Have Good Time
at Ward Springs.

Thanksgiving lasted from Wednes-
day afternoon till Sunday night at
Ward Springs this year. This phe-
nomenon was caused by a House
Party given by Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Lyon, Gertrude Lyon, Dorothy Dit
loft, Gertrude Hopka, Annette Fortier.
Celia Johnson, and Frances Simonet
of Little Falls, and Alma Bishop of
Westport.
In order to have wood and water
carriers and someone to eat most of
the turkey and other things, the fol-
lowing were included as necessary
evils: Harold Bishop of Westport,
Fay Cooper, Bert Rowe, Russell
Cooper, Marian Lyman, Hugh Wal
lace and Ernest Segers of Sank Cen
ire.
The natives were kept awake till
long past their usual bed time on sew
eral occasions but as it won't happen
again for some time it is believed
they will recover permanently. Sew
eral long hikes were taken and if
Weston wants to organize Walking
Club" the Herald can direct him to
seven girls that he could depend on to
stick.
The girls brought along a phono-
graph, some of the fellows took shot
guns rifles and Kodaks, and both
lunches took some eatables out to
camp but it is a safe bet that the boys
brought most of it back.
Between eating, dancing, hunt
ing rowing, eating, dancing hiking,
singing, dancing and eating, the
whole bunch was kept pretty busy
1t was decided to designate the
crowd as the P. D. F. B. The
girls are organized under the
name of S. D. and the boys chapter is
called the n. T. Perhaps n T. suits
them better for all of the time ex-
cept that spent at the table
anyone would say they were M. 7.
The boys returned to Sank Centre
Sunday night but the girls waited till
Monday morning to go back to Little
Falls Mrs. Lyons is an excellen,
chaperon and if you don't believe the
bunch had a good time ask anyone
who was there.

sTEARNs COUNTY AFFECTED.

st. Paul, Dec. 3.-There must be no
religious instruction in schools secur-
ing state aid, after August l, 1914, to
secure state aid. This is the rule re-
Gently adopted by the state high
school board, and was announced by
State Superintendent Schulz today.
The report is that in the schools at
Melrose, st. Joseph, Richmond and st.
Augusta, in Stearns county, and Pierz,
In Morrison county, Sisters Of the
Benedictine order are employed and
instruction is given in cathechism,
it is claimed. The board finds this
contrary to law, and state aid will be
withheld where religious instruction
Of any kind is given in the public
schools. ss5

would be a credit to the state fair.
And we can thank our big and broad
minded county commissioners for
fathering this movement and doing so
much to help the agricultural inter-
ests of the county.
Things have never looked so rosy
to the people as they do now. Each
year we shall view with greater
pride what this agricultural society
stands for. We shall see a greater
growth of knowledge of the force of
nature, a better understanding of
farming and dealing with the soil,
you shall soon see an agricultural So
ciety standing out ready to help solve
the intellectual and material advance
ment of our community. Even the
voice of nature is calling to you how
precious, how valuable is thy soil oh
man, its price you cannot measure, its
price you can never guess
Each year you see brought to this
society more and better grain, stock,
school work, art and agricultural pro-
ducts-the richest and best that the
county can raise is brought to the
Stearns County Fair for the good of
the people.
Each year you see greater and
greater number of people coming to
see and to know and find out what a
marvellous achievement of progress
our people are making.
"Let it be clearly understood that
this agricultural society stands for
the advancement of the people of the
whole county-that it stands above
any political county seat fight. Let it
be known that this agricultural soci-
ETY. is above petty politics at any and
all times, and any individual or body
of individuals who try to bring the
society into county politics is an enc
my to all the good that this society
stands for and tries to accomplish.
"Let US thank the president and
members of the Sank Centre Com
mercial Club for their untiring efforts
to do things and work so enthusiast
ically for the fair all the time that it
cannot help but be successful.
"Let US also thank the presidents
and bodies of Commercial Clubs and
Farmer Clubs throughout the county
for the interest they are manifest
ing and the undivided support they
gave us. - = -
"Let us thank the ladies for the
splendid service they rendered. Never
have we seen such display of art be-
fore at a county fair.
FINALLY we pray that all these
forces in Stearns county will again be
alive next year to make the 1914 fair
the biggest and best fair ever.
Respectfully,
JOHN McGIBBON, Pres"

CARES FOR SUNSHINERS.

Mrs. George Gray, in connection
with the Sunshine Society of Minnea-
polls has had two waits from the city
with her at her home in Ashley for
some time; Ruby Haley returned
home on Monday after a stay of II
weeks and Emma Jensen, who came
from the Charity Home at the same
time, will remain with Mrs. Gray
some weeks longer. There is no
sweeter charity in all the long line of
charity endeavor than the bringing of
these city children out into homes and
caring for them and giving them an
idea of what real home life is.

THE NEW FREEDOM.

There are some men who greatly
underestimate the intelligence of the
American public. Such men do not be-
lieve in progressive ideas in politics.
They do not believe in the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, for the
reason that they believe that the pub
lie as a whole does not know what IS
good for it. They term these new
ideas mob rule"
These men belong to the old school
OF politicians. They have been rum
ming this country by sort of trus-
teeship, They really believe that there
are many things about the inner work
ings OF government about which the
public should not be informed, because
the public does not know enough to
comprehend what is for it's own good.
1t Is about time that this class Of
men, who, as was previously stated,
underestimate the intelligence of the
public, should be disabused OF this
idea.
President Elect Wilson in his new
book. The New Freedom, has the fol-
lowing very terse and The Forum be-
lieyes very true comment on this SUBJ
ject:
Tha men who have been ruling
America must consent to let the ma
jority into the game. We will no long
er permit any system to go incorrect
ed which Is based upon private under
standing anf expert testimony: we will
not allow the few to continue to deter
mine what the policy Of the country is
to be.
1T Is a question Of access to our own
the government 1t ought to be d
matter OF common counsel; a matter
of united counsel; a matter Of mutuai
