peted for are well worth while. In
this connection it can be said that
never in the history of the Sank
Lake creamery were the farmers in
the territory adjacent to Sank Cen
tire as keenly interested in the dairy
industry as at the present time.
This is indicated very clearly by the
fact that in January 1920 the Sank
Lake creamery manufactured 1916
pounds of butter, in January 1921
1880 pounds were manufactured
while in January 1922 the butter
manufactured at the local CO opera
tive creamery amounted to 29774
pounds. This places the Sank Lake
creamery second in the large list

Z Mrs. Henry Dimon died at Port
land, Ore, Jan. 80, 1922, aged rs
years, months and % days. The
deceased was born in New York
state May 8, 1916. Her maiden name
was Betsy Ann Weeks. In 1885, the
Weeks family moved from New fork
to Minnesota settling on farm near
Long Prairie. On October IL. 1868,
the deceased was united in marriage
to Henry Dimon. To this union seven
children were born. Shortly after
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Dirnon
became residents of Sank Centre and
lived in this city until about IL
years ago when they removed to
Oregon.
Mr.. Dfnon died about two years
ago. Besides the family the follow
ing are the immediate relativesaleft
to mourn: Mrs: Minnie Bohall, new
burg, Oregon; Mrs. Martha ]. Lloyd,
Leroy Weeks, Minnearols; and Free
mont Weeks, Sank Centre.

terest in public affairs as citizens
by taking time enough from your
home duties to cast your ballot on
Friday.
II you live in that part of Sank
Centre south of the south side of
Third street you will vote on the
first floor of the southwest corner of
the city hall, the entrance being on
Pine street just off Third street. If
you live in the first ward, that por-
ton of the city north of the south
side of Third street you will vote
on the second floor of the pumping
station at the city park. The polls
will be open until 9 o'clock in the
evening.
The coming of the Babcock high
way paving makes it imperative that
the water works system of the city
should be improved at least in part.
Many of the present water mains
have been laid for period of 40
years and are obsolete, the leakage
causing a tremendous waste each
year. The proposed plan would not
only eliminate this waste but it will
be giving the city ample fire pro-
lection even though the electric
lighting plant may be out of COM
mission. AS you know under the
present conditions the moment that
the electricity is shut off so is your
water supply. AS stated in the Her
aid last week the bonds will run for
a period of 80 years. For the first
Is years only the interest will be
paid. By that time the present out
standing school bonds will be paid SO
that the improvements can be in
stalled with very moderate increase
of taxes.
There is a second bond issue of
$4,000 to run for 10 years to inn
prove the street lighting system of
the city. That should also pass.
These bonds will be paid by earnings
from the electric light plant.
If YOU decide !, to vote for the
bond issue put x mark in the
upper right hand box of your ballot
for that purpose. Do not in any
even put a cross mark in both
boxes, because that will nulify your
ballot. Vote early and vote both
ballots and help Sank Centre main
tain her position among the better
cities of Minnesota.

the farmers situation is understood
and his demands are listened to in
Washington. There are mighty few
people who don't admit that the farm
bureau has brought about the change.
"One. of the biggest results of the
conference was that it made the peo-
pie of the big eastern cities realize
the real condition of agriculture. 1t
showed them that they can't be
prosperous again until the farmer is
prosperous. Those people in the
east have not realized what has hap
pened to the farmers In the last
year; they have been opposed to the
relief demanded by the farmer. The
conference made them understand
that the farmer must have relief inn;
mediately.
'1The conference voted overwhelm
ingly against proposals for govern
ment price fixing for farm products.
Practically everybody believed that
price fixing would be runious for
the farmers. Only thirty percent of
the people of the United States are
farmers; the rest of them are .own
and city folks. If the government
was to fix prices on farm crops, it
would be more likely to fix prices to
suit the consumers .than to suit the
producers; for the majority of the
voters run the country. The Wash
ington conference declared that the
American farmers have hal all the
price fixing they want"
