JOURNAL MIS-
QUOTES RECENT STATEMENT
OF LOCAL PASTOR IN HERALD

An item appeared in last Satur-
days Minneapolis Journal under tire
column "a line O'Type or Two" which
purported to be quotation from a
church notice which appeared in the
Sank Centre Herald a few weeks age.
The notice was inserted by Rev. c. S..
Sparkes Of the Congregational church
and as it reads contains nothing in
the form of a "joke" but the editor
of this column altered the wording
and added words in order to make a
joke at the pastors expense. A COM
parison between the Journal and the
Herald shows a distinct breach of all
the rules of fair play in quoting a
mans statement and this has caused
a good deal of annoyance to the
pastor. He states that he has no
objection to the joke being made from
his notice but he does object to hav-
mo his statement wilfully misquoted
and altered to suit the purpose OF. the
jokemaker. He has taken the mat
ter up with the editor of the Mime
apolis Journal and has been assured
by him that the matter will be
handled satisfactorily by the editor
of the column.

The local organization has fine

that the unit can be retained here. 1t
is about as certain that if things are
allowed to take their natural course
the organization will be discontinued.
If the company is retained it will

Pershing Way clubs are springing

day now as the Mason City-Detroit
division of that great highway is be,
ing organized in an effort to keep
ahead of the painting crew Which is
just finishing the work in Iowa, and
is Fastening north.
1t is the intention of the lnterna-
tional Association to have the Way

before the touring seson closes, and
it is realized that there is scant time
in which 20 get this completed.
Herbert F. McDougal, general
manager of the association, is making
trip over the Minnesota division,
visiting every town and getting into
touch with the local situation. He is
finding that everywhere the fame OF
the Pershing Way has spread and the
people are fiocking to the idea and
making his work easy.

SUCCESSFUL SHOW IN AS
SOCIATION'S HISTORY.
CITIZENS MUST COOPERATE
SPLENDID BASE BALL, RACES
AND FREE VAUDEVILLE AT
FRACTIONS BOOKED.

The seventeenth annual exposition
OF the Stearns County Agricultural
Society will close in Sank Centre one
month from today, Sept. Ia.
Are you ready with your exhibits
to make this fair and home coming
the most successful in the history of
the organization. The dates are Sept.
9, 10, IL and IL.
The officials and superintendent
are bending every effort to make the
show success but the farmers and
other citizens must cooperate to
secure the best results. There is
nothing which shows the fertility and
advancement of any given community
like the county fair. H..
This years fair comes couple of
weeks later than last year and the
products of the farm and garden
should be far enough along to make
the exhibits worth while.
A number of Farmers Clubs are
busy gathering features for their dis
play. Word received by Secretary
Morse indicates that live stock ex-
hibits will be very strong. A new
addition this year will be the exhibit
ton of the Stearns County Guernsey
Association. They have asked room
for at least 25 head.
r The amusement features will be
very strong. For couple of years
base ball has been eliminated. Secre-
tary Morse has arranged a three
game tournament this year between
Melrose, Osakis and Willard. Thurs
day, Sept. 10, Osakis and Melrose will
meet and Friday, Sept. ID, Willard
will play the winners. These are the
three strongest teams in this section
this year; the rivalry is keen and the
games will furnish some corking good
sport. ,-. ..
Supt. Strebel of the Speed Depart
ment states that he is receiving
many inquiries from the horsemen
and from present indications there
will be a sufficient number of entries
in every class to make every contest
a real race from wire to wire
The free amusement vaudeville fea-
lures were booked early; they come
recommended as headliners and will
furnish enough thrills to satisfy and
please all.

fair; co-onerate with your exhibits
and attendance. Watch each weeks

relative to the arrangements for the
big show.

II 40 further suggest and request

shall have for their purpose the reduc-

commonwealth.
81 do also urge and request that
the State Federation of Labor and
the Minnesota Employers association
appoint committees to confer at the
earliest possible date, and to agree
prior to the beginning of the special
session, upon such legislation as will
eliminate any just grievances labor
may have and provide additional
facilities for the procuring and main

BENEFACTOR OF THE BRYANT
LIBRARY OF SAUK CENTRE
DIES FROM PNEUMONIA

In the death of Andrew Carnegie
a few days ago the world lost it's
greatest practical philanthropist. His
death resulted from an attack Of
pneumonia, at the ripe age of 81
years. During his life he gave away
$300,000,000, mostly for public
Libraries which dot the United States.
Sank Centre was one of the bene-
fciaries of Mr.. Carregie's philan-
throphy. He contributed over $10,-
900 for the construction of the Bryant
Library building of this city. The
local library association was estab-
ished way back in 1868, and because
of the conditions surrounding the
local organization this was one of the
very few libraries financed by Mr..
Carnegie which was allowed to re-
tain it's original name.

eggs in water glass now. He says
that at this time hens are in the Sec
ond cycle of laying for the season
and that eggs laid now are of the
best quality because the hens are on
a grain diet in part. The main thing
to watch out for is to get fresh, clean
eggs. Water glass may be had in
cans from druggists.

CHIGGERs BAD THIS YEAR.

"Chiggers." or harvest mites, pests
so minute that they are not often
seen, whose attacks cause intense
itching and a rash often supposed to
be hives or nettle rash are bad this
wear. reports DIR. w. A. Rilev of the
Minnesota COLLEGE of Agriculture. On
the second or third day the mite-fn-
fected area is surrounded bv a
Characteristic minute water blister.
On persons with delicate skin the
mites cause intensely severe irritation,
and there is also danger that the
scratching induced NAV cause second
ary infection. Relief is best secured
by bathing in warm salt water with
in few hours after exposure. Cool
ing lotions. mentholatum. and CARROLL
ated vaseline will afford some relief.
Flowers of sulphur should be busted

fore invading the haunts of the pests.
