Sank Centre Shrine Club
Spreads Yuletide Cheer
Toys and Trinkets Furnished for As
Fatherless Babes at Home School
for Girls

One Of the cardinal principles of
Shrinedom is to make life a little
brighter for those with whom they
come in contact, especially those who
are less fortunate than are they. In
keeping with the Christmas spirit the
Sank Centre Shrine Club raised the
necessary funds to purchase toys and
trinkets for the 45 fatherless babes at
the Minnesota Home School for Girls.
The toys were loaded on truck Sum
day afternoon and accompanied by a
committee of the Shrine, they were
taken to Fairview Cottage where Miss
Holden acting superintendent of
the Home School, was on hand to re-
ceive them. The happy expression on

the faces of the mothers, and peals of
joy from the children more than re-
paid for the effort.
The Nobility of North America has
a big heart for the unfortunate and
crippled children as is evidenced by
the five Crippled Children's Hospitals
now being erected in various parts of
the United States and Canada which
are to care for and rehabilitate as
far as possible, absolutely without
expense to anyone but Shriners, Grip
pied waits, regardless of color, creed,
or sect.
1t was hoped that the crippled chill
dren's hospital in the Twin Cities
would be ready to receive patients on
Christmas Day but because of un-
avoidable delay, the opening has been
deferred until Washington's Birthday.
February 22nd.
Every Shriner is assessed So. 90. a
year to carry on this humanitarian
work, and this assessment brought
over $1,200,0O0 during the year 1922.
In the course of few years these
Shriners' Crippled Children's Hospit-
ais will be located in practically every
city of Importance in the United
States and Canada.

A REGULAR GUESSER

The guessing contest conducted by
G. Hillerud during the Christmas Hol-
iday was participated in by several
thousand. The person who came
nearest the number of mixed seeds in
sealed jar was to receive large
doll free. The jar was opened and
the seeds were counted the first of
the week and it was found it contained
1906 seeds. Eugene Nicholson was de-
clared the winner as his guess was
1907. David Caughren Jr. of Sank
Centre was second with 5000. The
guesses ranged all the way from three
dozen to five million.

Business and Professional
Men Called to Important
Meeting by Mayor Parker

1t is apparently more than well
founded rumor that the Great North
ern Railway Company are contemplat-
ing making extensive changes in their
division point and shops at Melrose.
If Sank Centre people can get the
right angle of the plan well under
way, the shops will very likely be
moved to St. Cloud, and a round
house will be located in Sank Centre.
Mayor William Parker has called a
meeting of the business and profess
sional men in Sank Centre to meet at
the Commercial Club Rooms Friday
evening, December 80, at 8 o'clock for
the purpose of going over the propose i

changes insofar at least as they eff
feet Sank Centre. If the plan under
consideration is carried out, it will
mean the addition of large number
of families to this city and it is up
to the business interests of the COM
munity to give the Great Northern
officials every cooperation possible
in order to bring about the change.
At Friday evenings meeting it is
proposed to discuss ways and means
of cooperation with the Great North
ern Railway and it is imperative that
every business and professional man
in the city should attend Friday eve
ning's meeting.

BILE FOR CONDITION
VERY FRANK STATEMENT
SAYS FARMERS AND RAILWAY
MEN HAVE NOTHING IN
COMMON

There is no man in Minnesota who
can more clearly diagnose the causes
for conditions than can United States
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota.
The following Letter written to bank
er at Ulen, Mimi, under date of Nov.
26 is so reasonable and timely that
the Herald publishes it herewith:
Mrs EN- A. Westin,
Assistant Cashier,
Ulen, Minnesota.
, Dear SIR
Your favor of November Goth is at
hand | am as anxious as you are to
help the farmers as far as it can pos
sibly be done, help them to get a bet
ter market for their products, and
help them to get better credits; but
it is a very difficult proposition to
handle.
The fundamental trouble is the at
titude of organized labor, railroad
and other union labor, throughout the
country. They are still insisting up
on wartime wages, and they are get
ting now more than 100 per cent-the
railroad laborers than they did in
1915. Although the Labor Board re-
duced the wages Of the shopmen only
IL per cent, leaving them still with a
wage of from zoe to 75c an hour, they
still struck, and that strike accom-
plished endless injury to the farmers.
1t crippled the railroads so that they
were unable to supply transportation
as expeditiously as needed for the
lack of cars and locomotives. When
railroad is in regular operation and
everything is moving smoothly, the
cars and locomotives, after every trip,
are examined, and if anything is out
of order it is Immediately repaired;
but, owing to the strike, that could
not be done, and the railroads had
great difficulty, and have not yet re-
covered from it. believe if it had
not been for that strike, we would
have had q reduction in railroad rates
! before this.
What is a mystery to me is that the
farmers, who want lower transporta-
ton rates, will combine with the rail-
road men, who want wartime wages.
To me the two things seem diametri-
cally opposed to each other.
The prices the farmer gets for his
products, compared with the prices he
received before the great war, are
not so bad. What the farmer suffers
from is the high price for everything
he buys, and that comes from the
high cost or organized labor which
enters into all production. The men
operating the railroads, the men OPP
Grating the coal mines, and the men
engaged in various manufacturing
industries, all insist on retaining the
high wages that they got during the
war; and of course, in the face of
that situation, it is difficult for prices
to come down, as you can readily see
on reflection.
The government was enabled, dur
ing the war period, to pay the prices
to the farmers that it did for their

Minnesota is this week reimburs-

in premiums during 1922. The amount

received 81 $4,000. s -
Warrants were being sent by the
State Auditor to the treasurers of
the societies in IS of the SO Mime
sofa counties. Washington county did
not hold a fair during the year and
therefore does not participate in the
distribution.
Several years ago the Legislature
decided that agricultural associations
which had done so much to develop
and encourage the best in agriculture,
should be given state aid. Compare
lively small amounas were set aside
for the purpose but the aid has been
increased until the 1921 Session ap-
propriated S14O,OO0.OO for the pur-
pose, providing maximum payment
of $4,000 to any society.
The law provides that certain speci-
fled organizations which have an an
nual membership of twenty-five or
4
more, hold fairs on enclosed grounds,
to which fixed charge of admission
is made, and which have paid prem
iums to exhibitors, shall be entitled
to receive not to exceed $4,000 from
the state in case the amount must be
divided pro-rata, to receive state aid
based on premium payment of
$4,000.
The reports from each society or
association must be filed with the
State Auditor before December 1st,
and then he apportions the aid to the
| various societies.
This year total of $196, $4,000 was
paid in premiums by the societies en-
titled to state aid. With an appro-
priation of $4,000 and a balance of
$104.38, the state is reimbursing the
societies to the extent of 80 per cent
of the payments which the societies
themselves made, or the statutory
| $4,000 maximum.
Under the operation of the statute
the maximum amount received by
anv society this year is $4,000.
