Community is Like Family and Like Family it is Much
Better Off Without Disturbances, Which are Trouble

Disturbances, of whatever kind, are disagree
able. Often they are costly. This is true when
they are found In families, In municipalities, In
county and state governments, and In the nation
al government itself
A municipality is really large family, and the
sooner this Is realized by the individual the sooner
will the municipality at large be benefited, and
what benefits the municipality as whole benefits
the individual.
A family in which disturbances seldom or never
occur is much better off than one in which dstur-
Dances take place frequently. The members of
the families free from disturbances are happier
than those of families in which disturbance is of
frequent occurance.
What is true OF family is true of community.
No city really prosper with internal strife
tinually within It's borders, and if the city as a
whole does not prosper, neither will the mass of
individuals
South Bend today setting example to its sister
munes of what be accomplished without internal dis
tbances The factories of the city operating most
them at full capacity The wormen of the city are en-
pcyed and of them reasonably remunerated for
their labor
Apparently individuals prospecting, and the munich
palty whole may be Hkened to happy family that is
free from internal disturbances This condition has not al

Fear an Epidemic
In Kandota Township
Scarlet Fever Cases Now Attracting
Attention-One Death-Doc-
tors Ask Survey.

Fears that an epidemic of scarlet
fever is running wild in the township
of Kandota and without quarantine
was expressed by local physicians.
During the past week two cases OF
this contagious disease have been
discovered and placed under quaran-
tine in the township and one OF
these cases resulted in a death. Both
were in the home of Ole Nelson.
An investigation of the situation re-
vealed the possibility that q number
of cases of scarlet fever have de-
veloped in the locality which were
not reported and which went unat-
tended by medical men.
DIR. A. F. Moynihan, city health
officer has reported the situation to
the state board of health and has
called for a survey of conditions
there. It is expected that an officer
from the state office will arrive here
this week to look into the case

pipe or reservoir that would not only
provide sufficient pressure for fire
but would meet domestic require
naents. Paving was absolutely nee
.essary, but of course the waterworks
should necessarily be modernized
first.
MI. Ingram made a characteristic
talk-straight from the shoulder.
The public improvements he out
lined would cost a pot of money, but
municipalities are like individuals,
they will not make money unless
they go into debt.
The telephone situation was dis
cussed. He said that the company
should be compelled to modernize the
plant, and because paving would nee
essarily follow within a short time
that all telegraph and telephone
lines should either be forced into the
alleys or placed under ground.
That the citizens of Sauk Centre
should wake up and work for the
general good and development OF the
community, was the real burden of
the Mayors talk which was enthu-
siastically received.
Capt. C. S. Sparkes spoke for the
Machine sGun Co., and explained
what the organization could do for
the city and the young men OF the
community. The new armory just
completed was erected at State ex-
pense save for the site and $1,000
donated by the City of Sauk Centre.
The building is maintained by State
and from earnings of the company.
Capt. Sparkes plead for the commun-
ity to stand back of the National
Guard unit in this city and placed
the armory at the disposal of the
public, inviting The Rod and Gun
Club, the Commercial Club and the
Band to use the building. He urged
that the public use the armory for
the development of the social side of
the citys life as well as the material
side.
Adt. George Bergreen spoke for
the American Legion. He ex-
planned the ideals for which the Le-
gion stood, among them being the
compelling of all foreign language
newspapers to go file copies of their
publication with postoffice author
mans agreement with Japan; the de-
porting of all radical aliens, and that
American citizenship be taught in the
schools of the nation. The organl-
zation, he said was non-political, but
stands for civic improvement, good
citizenship and cooperation in all
legitimate movements.
Secretary Gillig of the County
fair, insisted that the Agricultural
society was working along parallel
lines with the Commercial Club. Al
though the fair was held annually
the association must be active dur
ing the entire year if the best re-
suits We're to be obtained.
The development of the agricultur-
al community would naturally devel-
op the city. The fair was likened to
an advertising agency. 1t was the
purpose of the Fair Association to

TELLS farmers
OF: EQUITY Plan
EX CONGRESSMAN X E L l. + Y
PROPOUNDS COOPERATIVE
IDEA AT MEETING
SHOWS MARKETING SYSTEM
SAYS THAT CONDITIONS CAN
BE CHANGED ONLY BY
FARMERS UNITING

Propounding the theory OF coop
erative selling, Ex-Congressman j..
e. Kelley of South Dakota, in a talk
here at the Commercial Club We'd
nesday evening, urged the farmers
of Sauk Centre to unite with the
Minnesota Equity Exchange. .
Mr.. Kelley was speaking in behalf
of the new Equity elevator now be-
ing promoted in this city and vicin-
ity. :.
In his address, Mr.. Kelley, himself
a farmer, called attention to the
closed market conditions existing IN
the nation as the result Of the So
called "Closed Market" established
by the various grain exchanges OF
the United States. He told how these
among themselves, controlled the
market; fixed the prices of grain and
paid the farmer just such prices as
they saw fit. He claimed that the
only open exchange now existing IN
the country is that established in st.
Paul by the Equity Exchange.
: The deplorable condition now ex-
isting which makes it impossible for
the farmer to meet his expenses as a
result of low prices, Mr.. Kelley said
was strictly the doings OF the COM
mission merchant ~
"The farmers can meet this condl-
ton in only one way" said Mr.. Kel-
lev, "and that is through co-opera-
tion. We are building one OF the
finest lines Of elevators in the coun-
try and now own one or two terminal
elevators at Duluth. and Superior.
When the farmer becomes united we
will be able as farmers, to set just
prices on our products. There and
then only will the market find a
common level where justice to botn
the producers and the consumer will
be possible"
Discussing the local situation, the
sneaker went on to explain how far
mers owning their own elevator here
under the Equity Exchange would not
only safeguard themselves, but
would have an excellent business IN
vestment. This elevator, he explained
would be owned by the Equity asso-
citation, but controlled by the farm
ers Of this vicinity who owned stock
in the association. The profits OF
the local establishment to go to the
local stockholder and none other.
Mr.. Kelley is member OF the
Board of Directors of the Equity Ex-
change of which he has been mem
Der for eight years.

PURCHASES FINE
HIGH CLASS BULL
H. G. BORGMANN ADDS sANOTH-
Err ANIMAL TO HIS PURE
BRED HERD
LEADS HOLSTElN BREEDERS
GENTLEMAN BUILDING UP ONE
OF VERY. BEST STOCK
LINES IN STATE

A very valuable addition to the
live stock industry of the communi-
ty was made, when H. G. Borgmann
shipped in his new junior herd sire
last week, purchased for the Milford
Meadows Stock Farm in Wisconsin.
The calf is from the best line of
breeding to be had in America. His
sire is by three-fourths brother to
Sir Pieterje Ormsby Mercedes 41st.,
who sold for S65,00O. The sire of
the latter is considered by the Hol-
stein breeders to be one of the best
sires in America. He has more
daughters producing over 1000 pound
of butter in one year than any other
sire in the world. He also has more
famous sons than any other sire of
the breed.
The sire of Mr.. Borgmann's calf
is, in fact line bred to old Sir Pie
terje Ormsby Mercedes, which makes
him one of the best projenitors of
that line of breeding. The dam of
this sire is Bess Burke Ormsby, that
wonderful old cow that produced AZ
pounds of butter in one week.
The dam of the calf is Milford
Ormsby August Fobes, who produc-
ed 1919 pounds of butter in a week
when two years old. In her breed
ing, this cow carries some of the best
animals of the breed, including Old
Homestead Jr. DeKol who has 72 A..
R. o. daughters, one of which has
worlds record for butter production.
She also carries line from Jack
Mercedes.
Mr. Borgnann's wonderful show
bull, King Ollie Homestead, who is
so well known over the state, haa
some very excellent daughters, and
he could not have selected better
bull, to mate with his young stock.
His new bull, called M. M. Orms-
by Bess Burke and without doubt,
carries as good a line of breeding
as can be found in the northwest.
That is saying great deal, but
study of his pedigree and the re-
cords will bear out this statement,
according to Mr.. Gillig, the local
Agriculturalist, who has made a
study of the matter.
In this transaction on Che part
MI. Borgmann, together with the
erection of new, modern farmstead,
there is a spirit displayed, and an
ambition and energy, that gives in
dication of the best type of farmer
and citizen the country have. With
his present plans Mr.. Borgmann will
soon have a cow in his own barns,
that will be able to produce 80
pounds of butter in week, which is
something that only a very limited
number. Of. dairymen in Minnesota
can say.
At the state meeting last year
they estimated his ambition and ideas
enough to elect him member OF the
Board of Directors of the State Hol-
stein-Fresian Breeders Association,
an implication which puts Mr.. Borg
mann in the ring with the big men
of the dairy industry in the state.

STARTS ROAD WORK
SAUK CENTRE GIVEN ATsTEN-
TION IN C0UNTY-MANY I'M.
PROVEMENTS PLANNED
SURVEY BEGAN WEDNESDAY
LONG PRAIRIE AND GLENWOOD
ROADS OUT OF THIS CITY
IN BABCOCK PLAN

The first of the new Babcock high
ways to be built in Stearns county,
will be the Sauk Centre-Glenwood
road and the Sauk Centre-Long
Prairie road.
County Highway Engineers Harry
C. West on Wednesday began the
survey of these two highways and it
is probable that the work of con-
struction will begin just as soon as
spring weather conditions permit.
Both of these highways are of VII
tai Importance to Sank Centre and
vicinity. They are two of the main
arteries of travel through this sec
tion of the state. The, Glenwood road
is one which is just at present re-
ceiving particular attention. 1t is
main highway between Sauk Centre
and Westport, and at present, one of
the very poorest stretches Of road
way in Stearns county. It is this
bit of highway that Commissioner
Ferd Borgmann recently discussed
with the county board in an effort to
have the county improve the road
next spring and to make state high
way of the. stretch between the Stiles
corner and the Cooper farm.
The Long Prairie road, already a
state highway, will be greatly i'm
proved under the Babcock plans The
matter of changing the course of this
road was recently rejected by the
Stearns county board because of the
proposed bridging of the "Narrows. =
Under the present system, the
highway will be made a hard sur
face roadway and considerably i'm
proved over it's already fine condi-
ton.

Commercial Club Outlines a
Constructive eImprou ue1nent Plan

When President George Borgmann
called the Commercial Club to order
Wednesday evening of last week p
very representative crowd of the
business and profession men of the
city were on hand.
Secretary West had prepared
program ofssvital topics to be discuss
ed by various speakers. i
In speaking for the band, DR.. Blk
stated that the band worked for the
community and deserved the moral
and material backing of the coms
munity. He stated that a good per-
centage of the members of the Sauk
Centre band were business men and
were devoting their time in keeping
up the efficiency of the organization
at no little sacrifice. The lack of sup
port of the organization by citi-
zens was deplored. He cited where
nearby towns were contributing
large sums of money for the main
tenance of the band, and he believed
that Sauk Centre could well afford
and should set aside at least 500
per month throughout the year for
the benefit of the organization.
Mr.. Blk argued that good band
was good advertisement for any COM
munity, and that their participation
in parades and other public func-
tions added to the Zest of the occas-
SionS.
During the past year J. F. Cooper
has travelled about great deal by
car and he was billed to discuss Pub
lie improvements in other cities. he
stated that as he Travelled through
southern Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin, and even as far west as Ore
gon he was amazed at the long lead
towns of a few hundred population
had over Sank Centre in the way OF
improved lighting and paving. He
said that his experience the past year
had caused him to radically change
his view relative to public improve
ments. To sum up his talk it was
a 'black eye for any town not to
have an up-to-date Lighting program
and paved streets" =,
Mayor Ingram was billed to speak
from the the subject ,"Suggested Ten
Year Improvement Program for
City," but he insisted that the word
ten should be stricken from the
subject. During the course OF hls
remarks Mr.. Ingram impressed his
audience that he had practical
grasp of needed improvements, and
they were many.
Among other things he would have
the badly decaying City hall repair
ed and utilized for city clerks Of
fee, Council Chambers, fire depart
ment, city band, and numerous other
uses. Mr.. Ingram insisted that the
first great work of the City, how
ever, was to rebuild the lighting
plant as the experience with the
Whitney company to date indicated
that an auxiliary plant must be MAN.
tanned at all costs. To operate the
plant some way must be devised to
do away with the vibration.
The Mayor also advocated the re-
building of the water system and
either the installation of a stand
