A very pretty church wedding was
solemnized at st. Paul's Tuesday
morning, June 20, 1915 at nine o'clock
a. M, at which time Miss Mary Cath
arine Folmer, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Anton Folmer, of Sank Centre,
became the wife of Frank Osendorf,
a well known and prosperous farmer
residing near Meters Grove. The
nuptial knot was tied by Rev. FIR.
ART, pastor of st. Paul's church. The
bride was attired in dainty gown of
white charmeuse with white maine
veil. She carried a shower of Lilies
of the Valley and white roses. She
was attended by cousin, Miss Mary
Gieske, of Melrose, who wore a gown
of pink charmeuse, wearing white
chiffon hat and carrying cream carna-
lions. VIM. Rolling, of Freeport, a
cousin of. the groom, was best man.
Immediately following the cere-
mony which was attended by the i'm
mediate friends and relatives of the
contracting parties sumptuous we'd
ding dinner was served at the home
of the brides parents in the city. In
the evening a largely attended we'd
ding dance was given the happy cou-
pie in the large hall at Meters Grove.
The bride has lived in Sank Centre
all her life. She graduated from the

TIE BUT LITTLE RAISED
HEREABOUTS.

The farmers in the territory Of
Sank Centre are intensely interested
in improving the quality of the live
stock of this section.
At least one would assume such to
be the case judging by the large num-
bers participating in the automobile
excursions which visited a number Of
the farms of men who are specializing
in breeding thoroughbred stock.
Tuesday afternoon about forty auto
loads of farmers and small proper
ton of business men left Sank Centre
promptly at 1870 bound for the home
of Mike Schmeising, eight miles south
east of the city where the first stop
was to be made.
The trip was under the direct SUI
pervision of o. E. Gibson, agriculture
al superintendent of the Sank Centre
public schools. 1t was announced last
week that A. D. Wilson, chief of the
Extension Division of the University
of Minnesota, and other prominent ex-
perts would join the party and speak
to the farmers on practical agricul-
tural subjects, enroute. Circumstan-
ces over which the committee had no
control preventing any of the gentle
men from joining the excursion. Lo-
cal speakers filled the gap and ac-
quilted themselves very creditably.
The excursion was devoted almost
entirely to cattle but at the farm of
Lamb and Coons pure bred Percheron
draft horses of an exceptional fine
type were shown. ..= .& =
The trip proved very conclusively
that the more successful farmer is
the more he must necessarily special
ize and intensity his business.

The church dignitary arrived in

was met by Rev. Frs. ART and Hin

tured three counties out of four vot-
ing on county option yesterday, Crow
Wing being the only one to join the
liquor column.
eWilkin county, which gave the vets
lead early in the evening, reported
late last night that complete returns
showed the county had voted dry by
26 votes. rs-. a.
Mower and Grant are the other
counties to vote dry. -. ~
The Prohibitionists in Mower coun-
ty, of which Austin is the largest city,
were given a majority that may reach
300 votes. More ballots were cast than
in any other election. Four of the six
wet villages in the county voted dry.
Twenty-Five saloons are voted out.
While the drys were confident of
Crow Wing county, early returns gave
the vets a big lead which was main
tanned. The majority, it is predicted,
will be 200. Brainerd, the largest city
which voted dry in the local option
election last spring, voted wet yester-
day by large majority. There are
three saloons in the county.
Grant county went dry by a major
ity of more than 400, according to re-
ports last night. Three precincts are
to be heard from. Herman, the model
town, is the largest point. It has
three saloons. -. .-- .

Sank Centre Man Returns From Rio
Grande Country Better Satisfied
With Stearns County

The attention of number of peo-
pie from this community has been di-
rected to the Rio Grande, Tex, coun-
try during the past few months, sew
eral of whom have purchased twenty
acre tracts or more. Of course those
purchasing have returned enthusiastic
over-the possibilities of that section.
The Herald, the first part of the week
bumped into man, however, who
claims to have made a thorough in
spection of the country and arrived at
the conclusion that all is not gold that
glitters. He says the town of Donna
is about seven miles from the Mex
lean border, has about 400 people, a
large majority of whom are Mexicans.
A very small per cent of the section
has been developed and about the
most prolific vegetation in sight is the
cactus plant. The Sank Centre gen.
tleman says that the company is ask
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre for the
land. This carries with it the water
right, but the land owners pay for the
digging of trenches on his tract, and
SIS per acre, per year, for water four
times a year; if water is needed Of
tener an additional charge is made.
The company claims to have water
plant completed about seven miles
from the tract, but they showed the
prospects on this particular trip a
plant Is miles away, belonging to an
other company. The Herald inform
ant says the agents of the company
take the prospects Individually into a
room on the car and use their best
hypnotic endeavors to get them to
buy. Great stress is laid upon the
beautiful climate of the section. The
Sank Centre man claims that on June
18th at 10 a. M, the thermometer
registered 88.

stop was made, specializes in Guern-
sey cattle, strictly dairy type. He
has splendid herd of pure breds,
headed by a magnificent bull. Mr..
Gibson gave the demonstration, ex-
planning the origin of the cattle, and
their strong and weak points, from
dairy standpoint. The Guernsey
strain, is not very well known in this
section of the state. The following
brief history of this breed of cattle
should be interesting in this connec-
ton: 80
Guernsey Cattle.
No where in the world is the breed
ing of cattle carried on more scientn-
ically by the people as whole than
upon the islands of Guernsey and Jer-
sey, located just off the north coast OF
France in the English channel. In
proportion to the population of both
man and beast no country has so
many agricultural societies, fairs,
tests, and competitors most of which
are under the supervision of the Roy
al Agricultural Society. The Herd.
books on both islands are c6Ia.tt.rniless
by committee made up of members
of the agricultural departments. Their
special work is in charge of a board
comprising juror from each parish.
The board attends to the registry, the
qualification of animals and the dis
tribution of certificates of exporta-
tion.
Quite in contrast with the lax me-
thods in vogue in the U. S. regarding
the registration of animals is that
practiced upon the channel islands.

both its parents are registered, the

country. One extreme follows another
and the agents have apparent

the burning South. No place in the
country offers better advantages for
the health and competence than this
particular section of Minnesota. The
Herald is admittedly prejndiced in
this matter, but why any one is will

chunks for a few acres of wilderness,
