COMPANY c RETURNS.
Local Militia Boys Return From
Annual Ten Days Encampment
at Lake City Yesterday.
Co. q Makes an Excellent Showing
and Takes the Lead In the An.
nua' Company Shoot.

Company G returned from camp
last evening, and it made most
credltable showing. In the company
shoot G carried off first honors with
the high average of 153 and frac-
tion. This speaks we'll for the
efficiency of the local company, as
the next highest was only l41. All
members of the regiment partici-
pated in this shoot. and it is the
most important. rifle event of the
encampment, as it affords an oppor-
tunity to test the craftsmanship of
the companies as whole. Company
G is to be congratulated upon the
showing made.
In the team shoot Company E of
Duluth secured first honors, while
Compay G was in fifth place.
The boys report that the maneuvers
this year were rather strenuous,
but all enjoyed the encampmept
In the drill work particular atten-
tion was given to extended skirmish-
ing, and battle formation.
In general efficiency Company G
ranked as the leading company of
the Third regiment. The boys were
always prompt for parade, drills and
rifle practice, while they were the
first to pitch their tents at the
camp. This speaks we'll for the
proficiency of Captain A. H. Johnson
and Lieutenant Norton.

that the roads are properly dragged,

The best policy, and in fact the only
policy to pursue, is to comply with
the law.

West Branch Creamery.

The West Branch creamery has
received report from the United
States department. of agriculture
comparing that creamery with other
creameries of the state. The data
was compiled from 657 annual re.
ports of creameries in the state of
Minnesota, and the West Branch
creamery averages up we'll with the
others. The cost of making
pound of butter was away below the
average, which shows that the
creamery is under capable manage
ment. The data follows:
Average pounds Of butter made by
creamerleS.. ...................... 152 1882
Pounds made by your creamery... 146,376
Average price paid to patrons for one
pound of butterfat. ...... 20 55c
Average paid at your creamery" 2944c
Average cost Of making pound of
Dutter. ........... ................ 2.71c
Average cost at your creamery...... 2.03c
Average percent Of overrun of cream
oIAoS .................... II .6U
Average overrun of your creamery. 19.47
The details given above are based
on reports representing more than
100, 900, 600 pounds of butter made in
Minnesota during the year. The
items used in determining the cost
of making pound of butter were
as follows: Insurance, taxes, inter-
est on the investment, repairs and
ordinary expenses, which include SAL
aries, fuel, tubs and other packages,
salt, color, oil, ice, and such Incl
dentals as parchment paper, acid,
BOTTLES, etc.
Minnesota Farmers Clubs DO Things"
Farmers clubs are ''doing things''
in Minnesota. If all the reports
that come into the office of the Agri-
cultural Extension Division of the
University Of Minnesota could be
summarized, one would be deeply
impressed with the activities of the
clubs throughout the state, but such
summary is impossible in very
limited space. A few glimpses, how
ever, will be suggestive.
The farmers clubs in the Bear
River valley in Itasca and St. Louis
counties, are making an agricultural
survey in an effort to secure "a branch
railway for the valley.
The Farmers Corn club of Nor
rison county is going to build five
miles of good roads.
The Carmel Farmers club of Bel
trami county is making study of
farm equipment. At a recent meet

Creamery Is Prosperine.

Manager Warner and his assistants
are making an excellent showing at
the Farmers Cooperative creamery
at this place, and it is a valuable
institution to the village and vicin-
ity. Last week alone, the snug sum
of 81, $50 was paid out to patrons of
the creamery for butterfat. Accord
ing to government statistics the
average price paid per pound for
butterfat in Minnesota ries
during 1914 was 29.55 cents, while
the average price paid at the Prince
ton creamery during that year was
1884 cents. This is certainly a
splendid showing, and during the
year the Average per cent of oyerrun
at the Princeton creamery was 81. l,
which is we'll up towards the average
of the state. The stockholders and
directors of the creamery are to be
congratulated upon the success of
this enterprise.

thanked the Princeton people who
had contributed so largely to the
success of the entertainment.
Ice cream and cake, and coffee and
sandwiches, we're obtainable on the
grounds in front of the parsonage
after the conclusion of the program
in the church, and the stands were
literally patronized. Chinese lam
terms and huge bonfire lighted up
the grove. A bevy of charming
young ladies had charge of the re-
freshment stands and one felt it a
privilege to be served by them.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be applied to making the final
payment on the church organ: Had
the weather been more propitious
there would have been even larger
attendance than there was.

only injured temporarily. The first
victim in this vicinity coming to the
Herald's notice this year is John Hec-
tor. The Hector Brothers operate a
large farm eight miles northwest of
Sank Centre and they own a shredder.
Last Friday they were shredding corn
on their farm when the glove on
Johns left hand was caught and both
glove and hand were drawn in between
the rollers which do the manning
work. The machine was stopped but
the hand was so badly crushed that
amputstion of the "little" finger was
advisable. 1t is not thought that it
will be necessary to amputate any of
the other fingers, although the third
was mashed severely and the second
finger was torn slightly. At present
the injured hand is in as good condi-
ton as could be expected.

BUSINESS MEN AID THE HOME
Funds Provided for Badly Needed Car

The first part of last week it be-
came known about town that $3.50 was
needed to furnish carpets for the Nor
wegian Lutheran Old Folks Home
recently established in the old Keller
residence, managed by Rev. A. Vatne.
The following petition was circulated
among the Sank Centre business men:

Sank Centre, Mimi, appreciated the
splendid efforts of the Rev. A. vatne
in establishing comfortable Home
for aged people in our city, do con-
tribute the sum noted opposite our
respective names, as Thanksgiving

and happiness may be the lot of all
the occupants of the Home, and that

FIRE DESTROYS RURAL SCHOOL
Building in District Number S, Todd
County, Burned Friday Evening
of Last Week.

The rural school house in District
No. 5, Todd county, located about IL
miles east of West Union, was de-
stoyed by fire Friday evening of last
week, between the hours of IL and IL
o'clock. The origin of this fire is a
mystery. School Chased for the
Thanksgiving vacation Wednesday af-
ternoon. 1t is thought that some way
farer got into the building to spend
the night and accidentally set fire to
the structure. Miss Burns, Of Long
Prairie, was the teacher.
The loss is complete, something
over $1,000, with an insurance policy
of $500 in the Continental.
The board met at the home of the
clerk last evening to devise ways and
means for finishing the school year.
A new building will be erected, but
probably not until spring.

very short time $183 was subscribed
and turned over to Rev. Vatne. The
gentleman did not know that such a
move was contemplated and the action
of the business men was very agee-
able surprise. The Herald intended
to publish a list of donors, but some
of them are so bloomin' modest that
they have refused to allow their
names to appear in print in this con-
nection, claiming that they are not
anxious to have their iberality given
publicity.
Rev. Vatne called at the Herald Of
flee on Monday and was bubbling over
with good nature and enthusiasm of
his appreciation of Sank Centres
business men. He is thoroughly con-
WINGED that in locating the Home in
this city, the people of his church did
the wise thing.
