COUNTY FAIR Pig
Project ASUCCESS
ASSOCIATION WILL BE ABLE TO
DISTRIBUTE ADDITIONALYi&
ANIMALS THIS FALL
A Big AMUSEMENT PROGRAM
EXTENSIVE BOOSTING TRIPS To
ADVERTISE 1921 EXHIBITION
WILL START SOON

The Pig Project that the Count,
FAR Assoc alton put under way las
year is proving to be very successful
according to Secretary Gillig. Last
fall young sows We're purchased b,
the Fair Association for boys whe
were anxious to have such pure breo
stock. The boys are taking care OF
them and feeding them, and are to
return two young pigs from the lit
tiers of these sows this year.
Ihe secretary has been making
PERIODICAL inspection of these pro.
jects and everyone is proving abso.
lutely satisfactory, he states.
Five Duroc Jersey sows and one O.
|. c., sow We're given to the BOYS.
The young farmers are James
Grundmann, Lyman Gibson, Alton
Stark, Thomas Penrose, Lewis Sch
aub and Lyle Veeder, the latter hav-
ing the O. I. c.. sow.
Everyone Of these animals has far
rowed a very creditable litter of pigs
this spring, everyone being bred to
good registered sires which were ap-
proved by the secretary. The as
ISOLATION contemplates the taking of
two young female pigs from each lit
ter where such deal would be favor
able. Some of these young ones will
be given to other boys under the
same plan that the present owners
obtained them last fall. Those that
will not be given in that manner will
be sold by the association and the
proceeds returned to the treasury to
reimburse it for the amount spent
last fall in the original purchase.
In most every case two females
can be taken, except in the litter of
Lyman ellison. His sow saved six
male pigs and one female. In this
case the bov will be allowed to keep
the young female and the association
will select two male pigs IT is very
fortunate that practically all OF the
male p;ce =, ll.- I:tAo-- -
ceptional individuals, which will make
some very good future sires, and can
be sold for breeding purposes.
After the bows have returned two
young pigs to the association, the bal
ance of the litter and the old one viii
become the property of the bows
forthwith, providing that his record
and conduct for the past year stands
auprOyed as satisfactory
Each boy is required to show his
sow and litter at the County Fair.
The report is that everyone will make
a very good showing this fall and

disposed to be lenient with him and
cooperate further in extricating him
from his position, if possible. Several
tentative propositions were made, and
the committee appointed by the Gre
ditors met Zimmerman at the office
of his attorney at St. Cloud.
Up to the present writing thinner
man has refused to make any definite
statement of His condition or agree
to anything. He has said, however,
that if the people of Sank Centre had
been as anxious to boost him before
the Fourth as they were now anxious
to get their money everything would
be all right"
Regarding the Fourth of July ceie-
bration he did not pay his band; he
did not pay for his ice cream; he did
not pay for his pop; he did not pay
for his candy; he did not pay for his
bread; he did not pay for his meat;
he did not pay for his fireworks; he
did not pay for his advertising. The
Herald understands that he did pay
the Melrose ball team.
At his dance the week following
the Fourth he is said to have asked
some Of the young men how they
liked his new pop. "You know" he
said, "there is a lot of kick on the
Sank Centre pop, so l have changed
to Long Prairie, as Long Prairie is &
good patron of mine The Herald
understands that now he is getting
his wet goods from North Dakota.
Early in the spring Zimmerman
appeared before the Commercial Club
and asked that the local business mer
go i'm with him and construct gol1
links on his farm. The Herald boost
ed this project, and when the PROPOSE
tion to take over the present Country
Club site was talked of we opposed
it, arguing that Zimmerman shoule
have the links on his farm because h
was doing so much for this city. W.
were mistaken in our enthusiasm tt
| BOOST for what we believed a worthy
Institution.
> At least four civil actions have b e.
started, and more will likely follow
and the indications are that the neal
preacher will have a busy time fol
next few months explaining many
things in connection with his Fairy
Lake Resort venture.
However, if Sank Centre had q
business mems credit organization ir
which the business men kept in touch
with each other this bird could not
have trimmed this commun " out OF
$4,000.
Zimmerman closes his letne+ -'nc-
of printed matter with this state
,nent: Don't listen to propaganda
investigate conditions as they really
exist. F" Ye gods, that is just what
the Sank Centre business men have
been trying to do ever since the
Fourth of July and they haven't got
anywhere.
There are two mortgages amount
ing to $4,000 on the Zimmerman
farm, besides local liens. The final
analysis will likely be that he will
take the bankruptcy cure. This may
not happen until he has glommed the
cream off his summer season.
Zimmerman is treasurer Of his To-
cal school district. Sank Centre men
are on his bond, but they are not sat-
isfied with conditions and on We'd
nesday of this week filed petition
asking for their release.

Machine Gun Company
Return Home from Camp
Outfit Arrived Last Saturday Noon
on Special Train-Say Camp
was Lazy Affair

camp Brunson at Fort Smelling.
where the Sixth Minnesota Infantry
have been encamped for the past two
weeks, was evidently "lazy'' affair
according to officers of Company M.
machine gun unit, which returned to
Sank Centre from camp last Satur-
day.
The boys returned an a special
troop train, in company with othel
units from this section of the state.
They left Fort Smelling early Satur-
day morning.
During the period of encampment,
officers of the company say, the en-
tire time was given over to parades
and light drill. There was not the
usual schedule of intensive training
given out the year before. Parades
and reviews covered the majority of
the schedule.
The most interesting feature of the
camp was the night firing in which
the entire regiment took part last
Thursday night. Hundreds of visit
ors attended this occasion, in which
the machine guns with their tracer
bullets, played an important part.
The local outfit seem to be well
pleased with their encampment this
year and came home showing the re-
suits of two weeks of outdoor life
and healthy recreation.

 While standing near the waters edge, one of the party saw swim ming along on the water, long snake. Upon throwing a flash light on the reptile, it was discovered to be & cottonmouth. One young man who was taking part in the sport happened to have in his hand at the time, a fish gig, and immediately casted it into the body of the snake. making a sure hit and safely lanc- ed the crawling monster on the bank.
 After playing with the cottonmouth for sometime, it was released rom the gig, and thrown back into the stream, but owing to the peculiarlty of the snake tribe, after being pierced and thrown into the water, realizing that the dry land was the place Tor it while bleeding, 1t made it's way to the bank in the dark and in climb ing up the bank, it crawled over the feet of one of the young ladies, caus' ing great excitement among thS members of the party.
