PARKER LANDS
IMPORTANT CONVENTION
FOR SAUK CENTRE
VERY SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL
SESSION HELD AT MEL
ROSE THIS WEEK

The 1922 annual convention of the
Central Minnesota Dairymen and
Buttermakers Association, will, in
all probability be held in the city of
Sank Centre.
Sentiment expressed at the conven-
ton of the buttermakers at Melrose
on Wednesday, favored Sank Centre
as the next meeting place but the
hnal action on the matter will be
taken by the board of directors at
their next meeting.
Sauk Centre was the only city to
bid for the next convention. The in
vltation was extended by William
Parker, president of the Commercial
Club. In asking the convention to
consider Sank Centre, Mr.. Parker
spoke in behalf of the Commercial
Club and citizens of the city. He told
the buttermakers, that in the event
that they accepted the invitation to
come here, the keys of the city would
be turned over to them. r..
County Agent Huntemer addressed
the gathering in behalf of Sank Cen
tire. He called attention to the fact
that Melrose had been their gather
ing point for the past three years
and that he did not feel that the citi-
zens of that city had any objections
to Sank Centre being given an OPP
portunity to entertain the dairymen.
A number of members of the as
ISOLATION, addressing the convention,
expressed their approval of Sank
Centre as their next convention city,
urging that the board of governors
act accordingly at their next regu-
lar meeting.
Charles Bohlig of b New Munich
took first prize among the butter
makers contest. His exhibit of but
ter tested "a 1-2 per cent.
Immediately following the gather
ing of the dairymen the Stearns
County Holstein Fresian Breeders
Association met and were addressed
by Secy. B. Scott of the state asso-
citation.
E. M. Gillig of Sank Centre spoke
to the breeders on the matter of the
dairy Calf Club organization. This
association expressed itself as en-
tirely favorable to the dairy calf club
project and passed a resolution to
give the proposition all the aid pos
sible. A committee was also ap-
pointed to aid in the work of organ
izing these clubs.
Sank Centre was represented at

EXAMINATION AT ST. CLOUD
FEBRUARY 8, 9, 10, IL.

Ex-servlce men who reside in Sank
centre will have an opportunity tn
apply for the vocational training
course being offered to soldiers in
Jured during their term of service.
A federal board in charge of this
training work will meet in the civ
of st. Cloud on February 9Th, 9th.
10th and 18th, for the purpose of ex-
amining candidates for vocational
training from the territory in which
Sank Centre is located. ~
There is a general understanding
among ex-service men who are now
drawing compensation that in the
event that they apply for and secure
vocational training that their COM
pensation will be stopped by the
government.
This impression is erroneous, ac-
cording to officials. In the event of
a soldier who is drawing compensa-
ton adopting the vocational work,
his compensation will be stopped just
so long as he remains in training.
During his period of training he will
be granted an allowance of from $50
to $3.50 per month for living expenses
according to the number dependents
upon him for support.
At the expiration of his course,
the soldiers original compensation
will be renewed. ...,.. 1853

GROUND HOG SAW SHADOW

Sank Centre is booked for another
six weeks of winter according to the
predictions of Grounding. The old

has been usual during January, but

Contributions amounting to $1001.-
so have been made by the people of
Sank Centre to the Hoover campaign
for the relief of the starving of CEN
trail Europe.
The last contribution made here
was by the congregation of Our Lady
of the Angels church. who on Sunday
last raised the sum of $131.50 to the
cause.
Early last year, the st. Paul par
ish here opened their relief campaign
and on that occasion contributed
5000. This church again took up the
fight shortly after New Year this
year and raised $225.00 making their
total contribution to date more than
$500.
At the Zion Lutheran church last

general relief fund. Of this So was
by personal gift. $3.50 by church
collection; $21.13 from West Union

Unsuccessful Attempt to
Burglarize BOutell Place
Entrance Made Through fhe Base.
ment Window-LoOks like the
Work of Amateurs

A bold bad burglar-maybe two OF
them, broke into the John Boutell
place at the corner of Third and Elm
streets last Thursday night, but did
not succeed in getting away with
anything unless perhaps it might
have been a few pounds of candy.
An attempt was made to rifle the
safe but this was unsuccessful be-
cause of a steel second" door, lock-
ed with key which the burglar
could not manipulate. 1t is evident
that the person or persons was faT
miliar with the safe combination, be-
cause the safe door was opened. s,st
An investigation showed that the
burglar broke into the building
through basement window. The glass
in one of the windows on the west
side of the building was broken and q,
another window in the basement
tempered with, probably IN an effort
to make an exit from the building.
Nothing of any material value was
taken from the establishment, THE
purpose of the burglar evidently be-
ing to get into the safe, an attempt
which was prevented by a thin steel
door. ss
Edward Stegge, an employee OF the
.Boutell place, discovered the attempt
robbery Friday moring upon his, ar
rival to open up for the day. The
safe door was found open and traces
Of the burglars led him to the base
ment where he found evidence OF
their entry into the building.
John Boutell, proprietor. stated
Saturday that he had not left any
money in the safe on the night OF
the attempted robbery. "That sec
ond door had never been used until
within the past few days." said Mr..
Boutell. II never used it, but lately
decided to lock the door as a special
precaution against robbery. They
would not have gotten much had they
been successful in breaking into the
safe. / know of nothing they might
have taken unless it was candy, and
we have not discovered any loss in
our stock"
Mr.. Boutell is of the opinion that
the attempted robbery was made by
somebody familiar with his safe and
it's combination. He is also salts
fed that it was an attempt of an am
ateur.
According to Mr.. Boutell and Mr..
Stegge nothing but the safe was
tempered with the one purpose OF the
burglar evidently being to secure the
money.
No clue was left which might lead
to the apprehension of the guilty
party or parties. The matter is in
the hands of the police together with
the names of suspects. That the at.
tempt was purely a "home talent
affair, both the police and Mr.. Bou-
tell are well satisfied.
