The Herald wishes it were posi-
BILE to retain President Schoenhoff,
Secretary Dubois and Treasurer Fred
Fisher. More than likely Messrs
Schoenhoff and Fischer will consent
to serve another year, but it was I'M
derstood at the time Mr.. Dubois
took over the work of secretary that
he would not consider a reelection.
1t has been suggested that a farmer
secretary would have tendancy to
secure a greater interest among the
farmers, if a competant man can be
foundlwho will accept the position /.
Every citizen who is interested in
the welfare and development of west

For the first time in the history of
the Agricultural Society of Stearns
County the business for the current
fair has been cleaned up and all bills
paid in less than 80 days after the
close of the fair.
. When the annual meeting was held
last fall and ]. B. Schoenhoff was
elected president, F. A. Fischer,
treasurer, and E. M. Gillig, secretary,
the association was in slough of
financial despond and as the uncertain
reports of Secretary Gillig were made
at the meetings the association sank
deeper and deeper into debt.
Several plans were suggested to
place the association on its feet,
many of them falling fiat. Finally
l.. w. Gingery suggested that GER
tifcates of Indebtedness be sold to
handle the debts outstanding. This
plan was adopted, but it was agreed
that those subscribing for certificates
should not be called upon to take their
certificates until there was enough
money in sight to pay off all other
outstanding Indebtedness. Largely
through the activities of President j.
B. Schonehoff something over $4,000
worth of certificates were sold, large
ly to the citizens of Sank Centre
Of this amount $3.50 has actually
been collected.
Along in the early summer of 1922
Secretary Gillig resigned and Benja-
min Dubois was finally prevailed up
on to act as secretary for the 1922
fair. Mr.. Dubois accepted the posi-
ton: only with the understanding that
every department Of the fair be placed
on the budget system and held to a
strict accountability. The amount
set aside for the 1922 fair in all of
its departments was $4,000. This
amount did not include the $500
the association will receive from the
state for payment of premiums. The
only department to go over the
amount allotted was music which cost
$500 over the sum set aside. A
number of the departments cost con-
siderably less than the amount allot-
ed, the total expense for operating
the 1922 fair being several hundred
dollars less than the amount ap-
propriated. I
Every. known bill including premi-
ums has been paid. The premiums
approximate $1,000. The fair officers
have. borrowed 1883 from the First
National Bank and the balance has
been paid out of the general fund of
the association. The 1888 is the ap-
proximate amount expected to be re-
turned by the state; interest on the
outstanding certificates amounting to
$138.29 has been paid and on Sept.
6, there remained a balance in the
general fund of $4,000 for the 1923
fair.
Secretary Dubois has made a COM
plete cut off Of the business of the
fair which will make it easier for the

TORNADO DESTROYS
FARM BUILDINGS
FRANK SCHMEISING,, A GETTY.
FARMER, SUFFERS SEVERE
LOSS FRIDAY
FAMILY TAKE TO CELLAR
STORM COMING FROM SOUTH
WEST STRUCK ABOUT SIX
O'CLOCK IN EVENING

A tornado not more than 60 rods
in width coming from the southwest
dropped down on to the farm Of Frank
Schmeising, 9 miles southeast of
Sank Centre in Getty township Fri
day evening of last week and COM
pletely demolished all of the out
buildings save and except hog
house.. The chimneys on the house
were demolished, the southwest cor
ner of the porch torn away and sew
eral windows broken.
The storm struck about o'clock
The family had watched it's approach
and had made up their minds that
the rain had passed around them when
one of the boys looking out dis
covered that it was making directly
toward the buildings. The family
made a hasty exit to the cellar and
no one was injured.
Mr.. Schmeising stated to the Her
aid Tues iay afternoon that the storm
did not last more than three or four
minutes but in that time a machine
shed 16x56 with leanto 11x56, a
horse barn 20x26 with Ia foot posts,
a cattle barn 36x62, a chicken house
14x24, garage 12x20, pump house,
12x12, and feed mill building 10x14
were completely demolished. There
We're three horses in the horse barn
and nine head of cattle in the cattle
barn, none of whom were seriously
injured.
Mr.. Schmeising had hauled his
threshing machine separator into one
of the sheds at three o'clock that af-
ternoon but the tractor was in the
grove some little distance away and
was not injured while there was more
or less damage done to the separator
and other farm machinery.
Large trees were twisted off close
to the grond and the entire grove
pretty well demolished. Some of the
large timbers from the horse barn
and other buildings were carried a
distance of nearly a mile.
The Herald understands that the
storm first struck the farm of Her
man Quade a short distance south
west of Mr.. Schmeising and shed
was demolished. Leaving the Frank
Schmeising farm, travelling in a
northeasterly direction the storm
next struck the Henry Kampsen farm
recently purchased by Katherine
Schmeising, demolishing a machine
shed 1Sx60, a corn crib and badly
creeking the walls on the east side of
the house, totaling a loss of $500,
which is entirely covered by insur-
ance.
Frank Schmeising carried cyclone
insurance on buildings and stock of
$4,000. Of this amount $1,000 was on
the house, $1,000 on live stock and the
balance on the other buildings. The
insurance has been adjusted. He
was allowed $3.50 damage on the
house and complete loss on his other
buildings, but the $225O he will col
lect only pay about one-third of his
loss.
The neighbors of Mr.. Schmeising
have rallied to his assistance and
Tuesday afternoon when the Herald
editor called at the farm several of
the buildings had been Strengthened
up and rebuilt and much of the rub
ish cleaned away.

SHIPMENT OF MAINS FOR
WATER SYSTEM
NO RELIEF Is In SIGHT
OUTLOOK FOR COMPLETION OF
SAUK CENTRES NEW SYSTEM
THIS YEAR DUBIOUS

But little progress has been made
on the construction of Sank Centres
new water works system since the
issue of the Herald of last week. The
Herald was misinformed when. it stat
ed that Contractor Goldstein's order
to pipe manufacturers called for ship
ment after August Is.
The railroad strike has caused an
embargo to be placed on all merchan-
disc of this sort. Mr.. Goldstein the
contractor stated to the Herald on
Monday that several cars of pipe had
been held up in transit for long
time. No one can tell when these
cars will be relieved. ,..eN
Tn contractor arrived in Sank Cen
tire Sunday following conference
with Sank Centre officials in the Of
flee of Engineer Wolff, St. Paul, Fri
day. -, -. -. = =
The Herald is glad to publish the
following letter from the Robb Sales
Company, Inc, Minneapolis, through
whom Mr.. Goldstein had ordered
much of his material. This letter
bears date of August 80, 1922 and is
as follows:
"Mr. L. Goldstein -. - -..%
1891 Broadway,
"St. Paul, MINI. .-..,.
Dear Sir: 90 = -. 90.
eve are today in receipt of a let
ter from our factory in which they
advise US that one Of the plants has
been shut down since the 9th of Aug
ust, and that the pipe shop at the
other plant is also shut down. They
explains that it is impossible for
them to get raw materials for their
manufacturing plants, because all of
the railroads in the localities of
these plants have embargoes on
freight shipments, pig iron being in
the list ~
"They say they have number of
cars of iron on the road that have
been shipped since June, but that they
cannot locate these cars. They say
further, that they cannot offer any en-,
enlargement as to when the plants
will start work.
'This, Mr.. Goldstein, is indeed very
discouraging, and we regret this sit
uation very much, as it stands today.
We have done everything possible to
improve conditions for you, but you
will understand that there is very lit
tie to- be done as long as the factory
is not operating,
However, we might add, that other
founderies are experimenting the
same conditions, and that they too,
are having difficulty in making de-
liveries. We have asked our foundry
to keep us informed as to the I'M
provefnent of conditions, and as soon
as we hear of something more def
mite, we will again advise you"
Mr.. Goldstein denied that he was
using dilatory tactics in carrying out
his contract with the city of Sank
Centre. He said that it was very ex-
pensive for him to have his machinery
stand idle and he also denied that
thre was misunderstanding with his
partners, because he had no pard-
ners.
1t is apparent that the city's new
water works system will not be COM
pleted until well into the winter, if
then. It may take cold weather to
break the railroad strike, or at least
relieve shipping conditions so that the
water pipe for the new system can be
shipped. L.Ix
