 VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS

 The following are the awards of s1 each for the most beautiful collections of cut flowers from the school gardens: Sweetpeas Barrett; nasturtiums. Wy lam fifth grade; sweet alyssum, Moore; larkspur, Elyton roses, Baker.
 The prizes are given by the city of Birmingham as an encouragement to chil- dren in garden work.
 In the vegetable exhibit 23 vegetables were shown, which is record for this section so early in the season. Large tomatoes, mature squashes, corn nearly matured, beans, matured Irish potatoes, and fully developed cabbage and beets are regarded as remarkable showings for open garden culture at the end of May. Excellent exhibits of seasonable vege- tables were made, and in some instances second crops of radishes, mustard, etc, were shown. Fine specimens of uncom- mon vegetables, as kohlrabi, endive, kale, Swiss chard, rhubarb and rape were shown.
 The flower exhibits. both boxes and cut flowers, were very beautiful and artis- ticaly placed with the vegetables, helped to make the exhibit as whole very at tractive.
 The exhibition attracted a great deal of attention, and will undoubtedly result in stimulating public interest in the great work the children of Birmingham are do- ing to make their city more beautiful, and at the same time turn their efforts to good economic account. Teachers and pupils of the public schools are due great credit for the fine exhibition that they are making at the city hall.
 The following is a list of the schools that made exhibits at the city hall:
 Cunningham, Farview. Wylam fifth grade, Wylam sixth grade, Avondale, Mi nor, Powell, Robinson, Hemphill, Ely ton Woodlawn, Gibson, Barrett Moore. Martin, Ullman, Graymont Bush Henley. South Highland. Alley, Barker, Kennedy. North Birmingham and Lakeview showed window boxes

 From reports of the delegates business appeared good with all of the crafts in Birmingham with the exception of the building trades The delegates to tho state federation meeting at Montgomery made extensive reports on the proceedings at the Capital, which were regarded as highly satisfactory.
 Sydney J. Bowie and J. R. Hornady addressed the council on the school bond issue. MT. Hornady gave his reasons for coming before the organized men, that he knew of the handicap of the workers in getting an education, and that they are more in need of it, and would receive greater benefits than any other class of citizens. He said he did not realize the inefficient insanitary and exceedingly dangerous condition of the schools until he had taken charge of the educational department.

Union in Conference

New York, Feb. 11.-More than 500
delegates from New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland
attended to-day the first Mid-Atlantic
states Conference of the Women's Con-
SresSional Union to consider plans for
obtaining the passage of the Susan b.
Anthony amendment to the federal
Constitution. This amendment pro-
vtdes for woman suffrage.
The delegates considered plans to
continue their work in advocacy of the
amendment during the remainder of
the present session of Congress and
discussed arrangements for raising a
fund to carry their campaign to the
western states, where it is thought the
influence of the woman voters can be
brought to bear directly upon their
representatives in Congress.

MOTHER INGRAM SURPRISED
Sons Came Long Distance to Assist
This Splendid Lady in Celebrat-
ing Her Birthday

Mother" Ingram was 80 years old
last Monday and the venerable lady
was incidentally given one of the big
gest surprises of her long life. While
plans had been made to quietly OBJ
serve the day her son, Adam Ingram,
and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. James
Ingram, "Mother" was kept in ignor-
ance that any other members of the
family would be present for the jolly
occasion. But when the Sunday
train from the west arrived Sunday,
who should drop off but George In
gram from Moose Jaw, Canada, and
Gordon Ingram from jamestown, N.
D., both of whom found occasion to
make business trips to the east at
this time and to arrange their sched-
ules for a brief layover in Sauk
Centre. Sam Ingram was unable to
come because of being i'll with rheu-
matism at Shakopee, Mimi, and
James Ingram could not leave his du-
ties near Emily, MINI. Despite her
advanced years Mother" Ingram is
in splendid health and enjoyed the re-
union with her sons immensely.
Though she has suffered recently from
a slight cold, Mother" has been able
to be about every day and is in pos
session of all her faculties. She has
been a resident of Sauk Centre for 26

secured her education in the common
schools of Warsaw and resided with
her parents on the home farm until
her marriage on Dec. 18, 1851, to
Ormos Marshall. Three children bless
ed the union but two daughters died
in babyhood. Chauncey D. Marshall
of this city is the only survivor.
The Marshalls came to Minnesota
in 1881 from Warsaw to Sauk Centre
and for two years resided on farm
at West Union. They then moved
into the city and have resided here
since. Her husband died Dec. H.,
1913. Mrs. Marshall was entirely a
domestic body, taking her greatest
joy in her home. Quiet and retiring
in her manner, she was beloved by all
with whom she came in contact dur
ing her 35 years residence in Sauk
Centre. Despite her advanced age she
had retained her faculties remarkably
and in her advanced years still insist
ed on conducting her own household.
She will be mourned by a wide circle.

RAISE STANDARD OF CREAM

RAISE STANDARD OF CREAM
Frozen cream and unclean separa-
tors, both lead to lower the quality of
the finished product which effects the
price of it in return. Therefore, it is
very important not to let the cream
freeze, and it should also be delivered
to the creamery at least twice week.
1t is also very necessary to thorough
ly clean and scald the separator every
time it is used. This cannot be too
greatly emphasized. Cream from an
unclean separator has very poor keep
ing qualities and soon develops a de-
cided "off-flavor" and becomes second
grade. Cream of this kind brings a
financial loss and makes poor butter,
and poor butter returns a low grade
to the producer. The financial loss by
unclean separators is frequently not
fully appreciated because it is. indi-
rect; it is however real. Good cream
producing managers demand that the
separator be thoroughly cleaned each
time it is used.

WEATHER MAN ON RAMPAGE
Thermometer Hits AZ Below This
Thursday MOrning-Train Ser
vice Badly Delayed.

Sauk Centre is sharing with the en-
tire Northwest a real old fashioned
cold snap and it makes the "oldest cit
liens" do some tall thinking to recol-
lect just when there was ever before
such night. DR.. E. j. Lewis, who will
back his thermometer against any in
the vicinity for accuracy, says he
peeped at the scale several times dur
ing the night and this morning and
declares the coolest moment was at
7:30 o'clock this morning when the
mercury was down to AZ degrees be-.
low. Half an hour later several ther-
mometers recorded 80 below; also sew
eral instruments registered 32 below
at 1880 last night when the mercury
was falling by leaps and bounds. The
storm came from the Canadian North
west and was several days enroute 1t
struck here about the middle of the
afternoon yesterday with high wind
and rapidly dropping temperature.
School authorities had been warned
and all children of the public schools
from the rural districts were sent to
their homes at 1 o'clock in the after
noon. The parochial school was alst
dismissed at noon.
Trains on both railroads were from
one to five hours late and all sched-
ules are still demoralized. DR.. Lewis
leaned back in his chair this morning
and tried to recall another night as
severe as last night-a night as cold
and with as high wind. The best
he could recollect was the winter of
1884 when he was compelled to drive
to Long. Prairie in a storm with a high
wind, but on that occasion the mer-
curry hovered around only 80 below.
The big storm of % years ago yester-
day which took 100 lives in Minnesota
was a raging blizzard but the ther-
mometer did not drop to anywhere
near the figure of last night. 1t is
believed that the backbone of the
storm is broken, and that the weather
will gradually moderate.
