mands. Red face brick will be used
for the front of the building and
the floor will be constructed of a
cement and granite combination.
With favorable winter conditions,
Mr.. Heraly expects to have the build

Board Of Control Selects
Home School Superintendent
DIR. Lena Beach of Rockwell City
Iowa, Will Take Charge With .
Beginning of New Year.

5 Announcement was made by the
Minnesota Board of Control the latter
part of last week that DIR. Lena Beach
superintendent of the Woman's Rel
fornaatory at Rocwell City, Iowa, had
been selected as superintendent of
the Minnesota Home School for Girls
at Sank Centre, succeeding Mrs. Fan
ME French Morse who resigned sew
eral months ago to take charge of a
similar institution at Washington,
D. C.
The Herald understands that DIR.
Beach has been connected with the
Iowa correctional institutions for the
past IL years. The Reformatory at
Rockwell City is similar to the Shak-
opee institution in Minnesota. In the
latter place she had supervision of not
quite 100 girls and women.
DIR. Beach, accompanied by Miss
Crosby and Mrs. LaDu, the two wo-
men members of the Board of Con-
troll, arrived in Sank Centre on the
evening of Nov. 9, and she spent a
day and half going over the local
institution.
Since the resignation of Mrs. Morse
the Home School has been very eff
GENTLY managed by Miss Holden as
sisted by Mrs. Mable Whipple, who
will remain in charge until DR.. Beach
takes over control with the beginning
of the new year.

GREY EAGLE YOUNG
man SHOOTS SELF
SYLVESTER THOMPSON, NINE
TEEN YEARS OF AGE, is
SERIOUSLY INJURED
RECOVERY Is EXPECTED
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF Au-
TOMATO SHOT GUN-QUICK
AID SAVES LIFE

Last Saturday at noon the village
of Grey Eagle was thrown into excite
ment, When Sylvester N. Thompson,
10 year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Thompson, accidently shot and seriou-
sly wounded self
The young man with two compan-
ions had been hunting and were re-
turning home when the accident oc-
cured.
At the corner by the Farmers State
Bank on the Main street of the village
the trio of returning hunters met
some lady acquaintance and stopped
to converse with them. In taking a
resting position Thompson placed the
butt of his automatic shot gun on his
foot, and placed his hand over the
end of the barrel and then drew his.
hand under his arm, thus taking a
leaning position. The butt of the gun
slipped from his foot and in some
manner discharged, the load passing
through his right hand lodging in his
shoulder. DIR. J. T. Laughlin, of Grey
Eagle was at once summoned and gave
a hrst aid dressing and stopped the
blood flow which according to reports
would in fifteen minutes time have
proven fatal.
A taxi was immediately called and
the young man was taken to the hos
pltal at Little Falls where an oper-
alton was performed removing the
full charge of shot and wads from
the arm pit.
Latest reports are to the effect that
the young man is resting as well as
could be expected and that he has a
fair chance of recovery.

Third the Farmers of Sank Centre
community and proximity thereto.
The question of the Sank Centre
Creamery will therefore be the first
to be solved owing to the fact that
there should be affected at once a grad
ing of cream, first and second grade,
and on which the creameries of Todd
County pay spread of cents per
pound of butterfat;. it is further self
evident fact that no buttermaker
however great an expert he might be
in his profession can make first class
butter out of second grade cream and
that if quality butter is made, you can
at least pay from cents to cents
more per pound for butterfat. We un-
derstand that the Sank Lake Creamery
is member of the Minnesota Co
operative Creameries Assn. Inc. there
fore we should expect the said Asso-
citation to come to the rescue at once
and assist the operator and creamery
board in every way possible, even to
going out and intervening the in
dividual farmers to market his cream
sweet, which will go long ways and
in fact will eliminate and fair COM

per pound for their October butter
fat.
The Blue Valley Company have
made arrangements to open a branch
manufacturing and distributing plant
at Duluth, and expect to be ready for
business by February LIST. The Duluth
plant will have capacity for hand
ling 100000 pounds of butter per
year.
In commenting upon the selection
of Duluth for the new plant, G.. T.
Guthrie of Chicago, general manager
of the company, made the following
statement:
For our business Duluth stands
without a peer as the best town m
Minnesota in which to operate a
large creamery business. The trans
portation and shipping rates play an
part and great credit
should be given to the enterprise,
vision and energy of those Duluth
business men who have broughf Du-
rIuth into such favorable position
Duluth is not only favored with a
boat line that will put butter into
New York city at a lower rate than
from any other Minnesota town, but
it also has the advantage of very low
cream shipping rates. With these
undisputed economic advantages Du-
luth should become one Of the great
est butter producing centers in Amer
lea"
Y A Todd county viewpoint of the
entering of the Blue Valley Company
in Sank Centre is given in the COM
munication of Ole P. Shelstad, secre-
tary of the Eagle Valley Cooperative
Creamery Association at Clarissa,
published herewith:
Editor Herald-With the permission
of the Editor of the Herald we will try
and set forth q few suggestions which
happens to confront US relative to the
entrance of the Blue Valley Creamery
Co. into Sank Centre.
As several of the members of the
Board of Directors of the Eagle Valley
Cooperative Creamery Assn. of Clar-
issa, Mimi. thru general call for all
ssse Co Operative Creameries in rad
IuS OF approximately bO miles OF Sauk
Centre, we felt it our duty to respond
with our presence at least and to furth-
er learn what we might have to do to
combat such an institution when it
comes within our midst.
As we all know the Blue Valley
Creamery Co. large Centralizes as they
are and nothing else, seeking new fields
to conquer. with wealth wrung from
the toll Of the Farmers of Illinois and
other points, have certainly the right,
without question, to come into our
midst, but farmers and creamery men
let us all join and give them the time
of their lives; let US show them when
they come into the Northwest amongst
our Cooperative Creameries that they
have run into a severe snag. To further
this assumption I have three ideas in
view.
First the local conditions Of the
Sank Centre Creamery at Sank Centre
for the reason that this will be the
center of activities.
Second the entrance of the Blue Val
ley: Creamery Co. centralizers of Chica-
go, and other large central points
out the u. S. where the Cooper,
ative Creameries have not been in ex-

The meeting called by Secretary
Axel Mejerton Of the Stearns County
Creamery Managers and Operators
Association, held at the Sank Centre
Commercial Club rooms Thursday af.
ternoon of last week, was attended by
representatives of 80 creameries anc
175 delegates.
The opinion was unanimous thai
the continued prosperity of the Co.
operative creamery movement in this
section of Minnesota hinged upon the
cooperation of all the creaperies il
this territory with the Sank Lake
Creamery of Sank Centre in their en-.
deavor to prevent the Blue Valley
Creamery Company building up 8
profitable business in Sank Centre.
At the time Mr.. Mejerton calico
the meeting there was no definite
plan developed to cope with the sit
euation. Gust Leverson, the wei
known Brooten farmer and leader ii
cooperative enterprises, was named
as chairman of the meeting, and Axe
Mejerton was selected as secretary.
The discussion was quite genera.
and a number of different plans sug-
gester; and the concensus Of opin
ion appeared to be that the best re
suits could be obtained by all of the
creameries in this section becoming
identified as members of the Mime.
sofa Cooperative Creameries Associa-
tion, Inc, and that this organization
should organize an educational cam
paign and direct the fight against the
Blue Valley Companl, with the assist
ance and advice of the creameries in
this territory.
Fred Mossman of Grey Eagle movee
that committee of five, of which the
secretary of the Sank Lake Creamer.
Association should be chairman,
should be appointed by Secretary
Strauss, County Agent Huntemer OF
Stearns County, and County Agent
Ausen of Todd County to act in an
advisory capacity with the state or
ganization. The committee as APP
pointed is George Strauss, Sank Cen
tire; Fred Mossman, Grey Eagle; Gust
Leverson, Brooten; Williams Bush,
Westport; and one man be named
by the directors of the Melrose cream
cry.
While there were many interesting
talks made at the meeting, the
straight from the -sh0ulder address by
County Agent Huntemer in which he
told those present in plain words that
unless all Of the patrons of the coop
erative creameries in this territory
stood back of their own organization,
the cooperative creameries would be
destroyed in a comparatively short
time by the Blue Valley Company.
In this connection it may be in
teresting to note that the Sank Lake
Creamery paid it's patrons So cents

Sunshine Society Should
Have Community Support
Demands on Sank Centre Society This
Winter Will Be Heayy-Cash and
s. Clothing Needed $3.50

There will be great need for the
work of the Sunshine Society in
Sank Centre this winter as there are
an unusually large number of families
in the community who need assistance.
Mrs. j. F. Dubois has asked the Her
aid to urge all the people Of Sank Cen
tire to pay $1.00 for a years dues in
the local organization with the as
surance that all the money contribut-
ed will be spent on the serving of this
community. The Sunshine Society
does not only relieve the poor but al
so makes life a little easier for the
"Shut ms" The movement is a
most worthy one and every citizen of
Sank Centre should be a member of
this society. Those desiring to con-
tinue their membership in the organi-
cation, or become Unidentified with it,
can either pay their $1.00 to Mrs. J..
F. Dubois or leave same at the First
National Bank.
The Society has use for a large
amount of clothing and shoes. Every
home undoubtedly has wearing APP
parel that has been out grown or dis
carded for one reason or another,
which has considerable service left.
This can be used to splendid advanr-
age by the Sunshine Society. If you
have any clothiny or shoes that you
do not need, if you will leave it at the
office of Superintendent H. A. Falk of
the Public Schools as soon as con-
venient, it will be appreciated by those
in charge of the movement.
