REV. BACON'S MEMORIAL SER
MON TO EX-SERVICE MEN

Rev. A. &. Bacon OF the First COngre-
gational church delivered an excellent
memorial sermon at the church last
Sunday morning, as tribute to those
who fought ana died in the world war.
The nYnrDer Of ex-service men present
was not large, owing to the bad wealth
er.
Rev. Bacon first told why America
entered the world war, naming as the
chief reasons, the atrocities committed
and the fact that America had interests
at stake which she had to defend. He
went OIL to say that the participation
OF America in this war again was a
notice to the world that the United
States, one Of the greatest nations Of
the earth, has the deepest interest in
maintaining the peace and integrity Of
the little nations of the old world and
the new, and reiteration of this coun-
try's love of freedom. Like some chiv-
alrous knight Of old, he said, this
country fought for the weak and help.
less, for the down-trodden and enslaved,
for the better order Of the world.
that democracy might be made safe in
every place under the sun, and that the
blessing Of freedom might he enjoyed
by every people. r.
Praising the American soldiers for
their conduct in the war, Rev. Bacon
said that they fought an amazing bat
tie, meeting the professional soldiers of
the old world, trained for years in the
arts of war, veterans of several years ,
standing, they met them, these raw
and untried levies from the land
Of thewest and they bested them
at their own game. And when the bat
ties had been fought and the victory
won, their hearts turned with longing
desire tothe homeland. But not ali:
Some, of them slept in the fields of
France and Flanders; they had laid
their all on the altar of liberty; {, and
had entered into the heritage 81 heabes'
who have died for God, for country, and,
for humanity: For them, Rev. Bacon
said, the poppy blooms today q symbol
of our homage, pledge that we will
not forget. His sermon closed with the
reading Of the poem "Two, Years,
Ago., by Grantland Rice, memoralizing

REAU TELLS MEMBERS

st. Paul, June 2.-Centralized mar

all staple farm crops in the hands of the
farmers own cooperative agencies on
the terminal markets is the best and
probably the only means Of obtaining
fair prices based consistently On the
cost OF production, the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation said today in a
message to all county farm bureaus.
The statement marks the beginning
of an intensive drive to >centraiize CO.

the new farmers agency at South ST..

the drive. 4. > ia. - -~

all its facilities to promote the organi-

ing local cooperative agencies to sell
otner crops as well, whenever the de-
mand comes from the farmers. The
county farm bureau, reaching into
every community, controlled absolutely
by the farmers themselves and respon-
sive to their wishes, constitutes a
machine perfectly equipped to launch
and direct these enterprises.
"For the last 25 years, Minnesota
farmers have been developing co-opera-
tive marketing in their own communi-
ties; they have put Minnesota in the
lead in this work. Now they have
discovered that local marketing associa-
tions have their limitations, and that
in order to affect the large markets,
farmers must unite to handle their crops
in quantity, and go into the terminal
markets themselves. Local co.opera-
tives have really been assembling bod
les; they have brought produce togeth-
er, and then turned it: over to some
body else to sell for them. The time
has come when they must sell for them:

CHAPTER VII
The Lost 1916

When Kirgan told me he was
shy whole locomotive, began to
see all sorts of fireworks. OF course,
there was nothing on earth to connect
the boss disappearance with that Of
the engine which had been left stand
ing below the coal chutes, but the two
things snapped themselves together
for me like the halves Of an auto
matte coupling, and I couldn't wedge
them apart.
AN engine-even a little old Allan
tic-type-is a pretty big thing to lose,
isn't 1t, Kirgani" I asked.
Kirgan righted his chair with q
crash.
Jimmie, I've sifted this blamed out
fit through an eighty-mesh screen!"
he growled. with all the devil-to-pay
that's goin' on over at the head
quarters, didn't want to bother Mr..
Van Britt, and I haven't been ad-
vertisin' In the newspapers. But it's
holy fact, Jimmie. The 'Sixteen's
gonel"
/ was trying to pry myself loose
from the notion that the loss Of the
engine and the boss disappearance
at about the same time were In some
way connected with each other. 1t
was no use; the idea refused to let 60.
Look here, Kirgan," I showed in;
"can you think Of any possible reason
why Mr.. Norcross should write Mr..
Van Britt a letter saying that he had
quit and was going east on the mid
night train and then should change
his mind and come down here and go
somewhere on that engineer
After I had said II, 1t sounded so
foolish that L wanted 70 take II back,
