New Refrigerating Plant

r. j. Minnie has just installed
in his meat market one of the very
latest models Of the Clinton Re-
frigerating Co. 1t is complete in
every detail, and Mr.. Minnie is to
be congratulated on his progress
iveness.
1t is a well-known fact that a
great deal of ice. especially natur-
al ice, is not clean. Frequently it
contains disease germs and is 9th
erwise contaminated. Refrigera-
tors always require regular and
frequent cleaning to keep them
sweet and fresh.
The Clinton Refrigerating equip
ment eliminates all this. 1t is alb
solutely sanitary, thoroughly
clean and easily kept in the best
of shape.
Mr.. Minnie will be pleased at
any time to show his patrons and
others how this new and absolute
ly sanitary system is operated.

One OF Our First Settlers
Writes Interesting Story
BEET GROWERS CONTRACTS

Every grower of sugar beets in
st. Clair county is to receive with
in the next few days copy of the
1921-1922 beet growers contract,
drawn up by the Michigan Sugar
Beet Growers association in be-
half of the 10000 sugar beet
growers of the state, 5000 of
whom are association members.
The contracts were on the press
March 3rd, and will be distribut
ed by local associations and farm
bureaus. Should any beet grower
fail to get one. he should notify
his local association or state head
quarters at Durand, says c. E..
Alderman, president of the state
organization.
The contract aims toward a
$3.50 split between the grower
and the manufacturer on the
wholesale price of sugar and
starts off at $6.45 a ton on the
basis of five cent sugar, with an
increase of $1.29 per ton for each
additional cent on the price of
sugar. 1t is said that the manu-
facturers are offering Sc for six
cent sugar as against the asso-
Citations $7.74 figure for &C. sugar.
st. Clair county's normal produc
tion is 1920 tons of beets, and
Sanilac county's is 23,060 tons.
The terms of the sugar beet
growers association makes the as
sociation the sole representative
before the manufacturers. The
/ table of beet prices based on the
price of sugar gets away from the
vague promises which have figur-
! ed in the letting of contracts in
other years, says Mr.. Ackerman,
adding that the contract was
drawn up by beet men of long ex-
perience and business ability. 1t
represents also the experience of
other states, notably Utah-Ida-
no, where the growers and manu-
facturers have closely approach
ed $3.50 split on the wholesale
price of sugar, starting with $6.45
ton on five cent sugar.
The Michigan contract price
was based on the Idaho-Utah man
ufacturers-growers conference,
which was later approved by beet
growers of the nation meeting at
Chicago, under the auspices of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.
Labor matters are taken care OF
in the Michigan contract and it is
said to be air-tight in that it is an
assurance that the signers will
stick together.
Michigan's 10000 sugar bee,
growers work l75,000 acres OF
beet land, having an annual aver.
age production of S11a tons to the
acre, worth more than $11 900, 900

MUSIC STUDY CLUB

The inclemency of the weather
brought the attendance of mem
bers of the Music Club last Fri
day afternoon down to about a
dozen, but the few enjoyed a
pleasant and profitable meeting,
which was held at the home of
Mrs. Fred Taylor.
In response to roll call, inter
esting quotations, of musical
nature were given and proved to
be an agreeable variation.
Mrs. Clyne had the paper on
current events and her finds were
worthy of the favorable comment
given her.
Club singing occupied the re-
mainder of the hour.
The next meeting on March 1s
will be held with Mrs. j. A. Men

tDy MIS-. T.. j. f1OWeuI
A. d. 1921, st. Clair county's
hundredth anniversary. 1t be-
comes us to celebrate it with song
and story in manner befitting
the memory of those hardy pio-
neers that have gone before.
The county, when organized
had population of about 300, To-
Gated in the southeast part, along
the river front. To the north was
an unbroken forest, no roads, no
means of communication between
the north and south, only the Red
mans trail that guided him, but
the white man must have a COM
pass to travel in the woods.
Previous to this time the white
man had sent hunters, pine hun
ters, into St. Clair and adjoining
counties had located and bought
vast tracts of pine lands from the
government and was now ready to
begin numbering.
Detroit, the largest settlement
in the state, having a fort for the
protection of the inhabitants, with
the money and the enterprise, was
the home of these men who owned
the pine lands in st. Clair county.
The land was we'll watered, there
were rivers and streams to carry
the logs down to the big river
front, there to be RATED down to
Detroit, cut into lumber in the
DtlIIC fh0rn a,
wou d then carry The finished pro-
duet to the lumber markets of the
world. They soon had large
crews of men pushing their way
through woods and swamp, ford
ing rivers, going a road new to the
foot of the white man. Nothing
stops them. They carry their
shanty outfits with them, which
consisted of men enough to build
the lumber plant" viz, two shan
ties large and small, one for the
men, stables for oxen and horses,
blacksmith shop and last, but not
least, a store for provisions.
Ok teams must go with the
men to carry eats for man and
beast, along with tools and other
supplies they must have, for re-
member, there is nothing where
they are going but solitude and
hard work.
This part done, they begin the
work in the woods. chopping down
trees, saving them in logs, putting
them on the skidways ready for
the horse teams to begin work.
Men have been hard at work,
winter has come and the first
cold and freezing day, the road is
broken to the landing. Oxen used
to do this particular work as it
required patience and not speed
in those swamp roads. The horse
teams in readiness, drive up to
the skidway, load on the logs,
bind them so as not to roll off, and
away to the landing with the first
load of the season, distance from
one to seven miles. The haul soon
becomes burden to the lumber
man, and he thinks to hasten the
work by taking more logs at a
time, snow or no snow, and some
one hit upon the idea of a rail
road. No sooner said than done,
and here in the north part of st.
Clair county, in Brockway and
Lynn, railroad was built over
seventy years ago. No toy busi-
ness, but to draw logs on. Some
one says, "they could not do it
where did they get the steel rails
and cars In my next | will tell
you how they built the railroad
and some other things.

For Aldermen
Rural Schools Behind.

Representative X. w. hitchcock
of Hibbing has been in st. Paul
attending a meeting of the legis-
lative interim committee on educa-
ton of which he is a member.
81 believe that the work of the
interim committee on education APP
pointed by the last legislature will
result in very decidedly raising the
standard of Minnesota in educa-
t on" declared Mr.. Hitchcock.
Minnesota now ranks high among
the states in education. In high
school instruction, and IN graded
school instruction, as given in the
cities and towns, Minnesota is to-
day right up in the front ranks,
but it is far behind in rural edu-
cation. The reason for this is that
the state aid given to high and
graded schools has spurred the
cities and towns to extraordinary
efforts, but the aid given to the
rural schools has been too meager
and too unscientifcally applied to
have like result.
Minnesota m u.s. radically I'M
prove it's rural schools if it is to
maintain position among the
most advanced and enlightened
states in the union. The boy and
girl in the country is entitled to
Just as good an education as the
| boy and girl in town-and they
must get it if America and it's in
stitutions are to be preserved.

Several sessions of the committee

committee will make an exhaustive

harbors was a great national is
sue. Now, without material pro-
test, Congress has provided on a
generous scale for the construction
of improved common roads in all
the states of the Union.
Nation al aid is to be given for
the promotion of interstate traffic
Of the state highways to which
national aid will be given, three
sevenths must be main roads con-
Meeting or continuous with like
roads in adjoining states and thus
forming parts of interstate systems
and the remaining four-sevenths
must be intercounty roads serving
as direct feeders to the interstate
That is all sound policy when il
is added that every road receiving
national aid must be approved by
the Secretary of Agriculture, both
in its location and in the character
and method of construction, there
appears to be a guaranty that the
result of the law will be roads

Minnesota's annual Christmas
gift to the County Agricultural So
cieties of the state went forward
this week when R. P. Chase, State
Auditor officiating as Santa Claus.
completed the mailing of checks to
the amount of $140,832.97, state
aid to the societies.
This aid to the agricultural
associations of the state is directed
by law and is based on the
premiums paid by the various So
cieties, the maximum basis of pro-
rating reimbursement to any one
society being $1,700. The largest
amount received by any society in
the state is 1864. The 1921
legislature appropriated $4,000
for this purpose and this with the
balance available was divided pro-
rata at the rate of ninety-two cents
on the dollar.
The st. Louis County Agricul-
tural Society is reimbursed to the
extent of $154021, having report
ed total premiums paid amounting
to $1674.15.
The appropriation for aid to the
agricultural societies made by the
last legislature is the largest since
the law was enacted and its en-
couraging effect is found in the
large amount of premiums paid to
exhibitors this year. The cash out
lay for this purpose, as made by
h e societies in conformity with
the legislative act, amounted TO
$192,718.77.
According to Mr.. Chase state aid
to county fairs has been of materi-
al benefit in an agricultural and
community way. 1t has stabilized
quite few tottering agricultural
organizations and at the same time
it has given to the county fair
movement a degree of permanency
which augurs well for the future
of t h e societies. In this years
division of the aid nearly every
county in the state is interested.
In all, ninety-six societies partici-
pated.
