To Place Minnesota Wool
Pool on Permanent Basis
State Growers Organization Has Been
Perfected Under the State Farm
Bureau Auspices

Steps to place the Minnesota wool
pool on a permanent basis were taken
last week at st. Paul by delegates
from nearly every county in the state
when new organization, to be known
as the Minnesota Cooperative Wool
Marketing association was launched.
The meeting was held under auspices
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, with j. F. Reed, president,
Before organization, reports presen-
ted to the meeting showed that farm
ers who pooled the 1922 clip had real
lied from 5 to 8 cents pound more
than they would have obtained had
they sold to local buyers at shearing
time. approximately SOC, 900 pounds
We're in Minnesota pools at Wabasha,
Chicago and Pennington this season.
"The pool has benefited all growers"
says Mr.. Reed, "by reason of with
holding from sale supplies that other
wise would have had the effect of
further Cutting the market. Besides
this valuable service, the effect of the
pool acted as a powerful leverage on
the increased prices obtained by every
producer Of wool in the state. Wool
buyers had to meet the prices for wool
made possible by the advances of the
managers of the pools. Thus to assume
that only half the states total clip
was helped and that the average in
creased prices was no more than that
which men who pooled even dow grade
obtained, the net dollar-and-cent value
of the pool to farmers of the state was
$4,000. Actually, the saving is far
more than that amount.
The permanent organization meet
ing will be held January a. Until that
time, the following temporary direc-
tors will serve:
Simon Braun of Wabasha; C. w.
Glotfelter Of Waterville; A. L. Sayer
of Pennington; Alex Hoddleston of
Wabasha; T.. H. O'Connell; of LIE
Sueur; IL. w. Samuelson of Lafayette
and T. H. Hagen of Lakeville.
Aside from promoting the wool pool,
the organization will aim to keep the
farmers in toutch with market con-
ditions, educate members as to grades
and buy and sell wool marketing sup
plies. None but actual wool producers
can join. The association has capital
stock worth $4,000, which will be sold
at $40 a share.

Anthony Eltgroth Has
Sudden Death Summons
Well Known Sank Centre Farmer
Dies Just After Retiring at 11:O0
P. NJ, Saturday. ala

Anthony Eltgroth, we'll known
farmer residing just southwest of
Sank Centre, died very suddenly at
his home Saturday evening, Novem-
Der 18th, 1922, about II o'clock. Mrs.
Eltgroth and Miss Anna, daughter of
Nick Eltgroth of West Union left
several weeks ago for a visit at Car
rol, Iowa. Mrs. Eltgroth returned to
her home in Sank Centre on Satur-
day evenings train and was met by
her husband at the depot. At that
time Mr.. Eltgroth appeared to be in
the best Of health. He had retired
for the night and Mrs. Eltgroth was
working about the room putting away
her clothes, and turned to speak to
her husband and noticed that some
thing was wrong. Investigation
proved that he had passed away.
The deceased was born in Carol,
County, Iowa, March End, 1881. He
came to Stearns County and Sank
Centre, nineteen years ago. Eighteen
years ago he was united in marriage
to Miss Anna -Botz, eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Botz. He oc-
cupied his farm in Getty township un-
til about seven years ago when. he re-
moved to Holdingsford where he en-
tered the shoe and harness business,
remaining there for three years, af-
ter which he returned to Sank Centre
and again took possession of his
farm. He disposed of the Getty
township farm three years ago to
Louis Borgmann and purchased the
small place southwest Of the city
where the family resided at the time
of his death.
The funeral was. held from ST.
Pauls Catholic church in Sank Gen.

High School Junior Class
Play Pleases Audiences
Young People Directed by Mrs
Richards, Made Decided Hit in
Production of "Mr. Bob"

An audience that comfortably filled
the Junior High School Auditorium
Thursday evening of last week, enjoy
ed the production of "Mr. Bob" by the
Junior class of the Sank Centre Public
Schools, directed by Mrs. Richards of
the school faculty.
In spite of the; fact that the play had
been presented in Sank Centre on at
least two previous occasions, the aud
fence enjoyed every line and every
action Of the piece.
The story revolves around a wealthy
old maid who is determind to turn her
home into hospital for cats, with the
result that many exceedingly funny
1t is a very difficult proposition for
amateurs to successfully handle a
farce comedy. which makes the sue
cess of the Junior Class all the more
remarkable.
Mrs. Richards made happy choice
in her selections for the various char
acters. Each and every one had a
splendid conception of roll they were
playing and they were "easy in their
lines" which resulted in naturalness
of action.
The Herald will not undertake to
discuss each character separately as
no one of the young people par
ticularly outshown the others, and the
vigorous applause given following
each act, and at the close of the piece,
was a sufficient guarantee that they
had given their audience entire
satisfaction.

Commercial Club Goes on
Record to Stand Back Of
co-Operative Creameries

At a largely attended meeting in
the Sank Centre Commercial Club
rooms. held last evening, the locat-
ing in Sank Centre of the Blue. Val
ley Sweet Cream Creamery Company
of Chicago was discussed from a num-
Der of different angles. The more
the matter was gone into, the more
convinced became those taking part
in the discussion that once the Blue
Valley organization were firmly es-
tabhshed in Sank Centre, the death
knell of the Cooperative creameries
of this section would be sounded.
Buttermaker Axel Mejerton Of the
Sank Lake Creamery was present and
gave those in attendance much first
hand information regarding the con
dition of the Sank Lake Creamery
and smaller creameries in inland
towns in this territory. When Mr.
Mejerton took charge of the local
plant on January 1, 1921, there were
not more than 1870 farmers hauling
milk to the Sank Lake Creamery. The
business has been increased until at
present over 300 farmers are regular
patrons. In spite of the dry weather
from June on which ruined pastures,
the local creamery will make nearly
100000 pounds of butter in 1922. The
local creamery is entirely free from
debt and is probably in as good con-
dition to withstand the encroachment
of a large centralizer as is any other
cooperative creamery in the state.
Mr.. Mejerton argues that the Blue
Valley people would undoubtedly at
tempt to wreck the smaller creameries
in the territory adjacent to Sank
Centre before serious inroads Were
made on the local business.
The Padua creamery has 40 patrons
and if 10 of these could be taken
away from them, it would increase the
overhead operations of the Padua
creamery to such an extent that they
could not compete with the price paid
by the Blue Valley Company. It
would probably mean the death of
this cooperative concern. The, : Of
ficers of. the two organizations. have

CITY CONSIDERED
FOR HOSPITAL SITE
BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICAN
YOEMEN TO BUILD HOME
FOR CHILDREN
WILL SPEND $15,OOO,O 900
OFFICERS ARE IMPRESSED WITH
PLANS OF MORSE & MORSE.
AND WILL INVESTIGATE

Officials of the Brotherhood of
American Woman are expected 14to .
visit our city shortly to inspect a :
proposed site for the location of their
national children's home to be build at
a cost of several million dollars.
Morse & Morse of this city have been
in communication with the committee
for some time, and have submitted
several propositions, with the result,
that the committee has promised to
look over the land and consider To-
eating near here.
The plan is to establish city in
itself, with homes for the children of
deceased members, upon a tract of
1000 or 1000 acres of land, the To-
cation to be several miles from any
existing city. The total cost of the.
proposed home is estimated at, about
$15, 100000.
G. V. Morse was in st. Paul last
Thursday comforting with members of:
the Committee. 'They seem to be in
terested in our proposition" said Mr.
Morse yesterday, "and We are hope
full that there is chance of landing
this for Sank Centre. One tract we
have offered them seems to fill all
their requirements, but we realize it
will be no small matter to get them
located here. Over 400 sites have
been submitted them, and 33 states,
are competing for the honor Mime
sofa, however, has decided advant-.
age, because of its beauty, and the
soil and climate are also in our favor.
Of the Minnesota sites considered by
the committee, none seem to fill the
bill as completely as ours, and for.
that reason we believe Sank Centre
has good chance. At the present
time, there is nothing to be done ex-
cept await the arrival of the COM
nittee, although it may be advisable
for the Commercial Club and other
organizations to get behind this
movement in a concerted move to land
it for our district"

nesota Junior Livestock Show Held
in st. Paul Last Week

More kids! More and better" animals!
Higher prices! This in few words, is
the story of the Fifth Junior Livestock
Show, held last week at South St. Paul.
In every department it was greater
than it's predecessors. Probably the
most outstanding feature was the rec
ord breaking prices paid by bidders
for the average animal, as well as for
the prize winners.
A grade Hereford, with which Joe
Isaksen of Springfield won the grand
championship in the calf class, sold to
St. Paul store for rs, cents a pound.
Last year, the champion sold for so
cents. Taking into consideration his
prize money, Joe will realize nearly
$500 on his calf.
The champion lamb, entered by
Raymond Sullivan. New Prague, sold
for So a pound. The champion pig,
fed by Terrace L. Hagen of Belview,
brought 60 cents a pound.
The 30 calves sold for an average
price of 14.4 cents a pound. The
average price brought by the 81 pigs
was 1918 cents pound, SO lambs
averaged 1856 cents pound.
Boys and girls from 70 counties in
the state who entered animals in the
show had the worth of "stick-to-it-
tiveness" we'll demonstrated in the
Judging ring, when Joe Isaksen's
animal was finally declared the grand
champion. Joe had entries in two pre-
vious shows. Two years ago. he was
in seventh place and last year in
seventeenth, but came back this year
to win with a better calf and a better
understanding of the work, due to his
previous defeats. "Rm gonna do like
Joe did" was the slogan Of every
youngster when the show closed.

probably solved this difficulty as a
movement is on foot for the taking
over of the entire business of the Pad
ua creamery by the Sank Lake Co
operative Association. The plan, as
outlined, centemplates the operating
Of a testing station at Padua and
that each of the forty patrons of the
Padua creamery will take turns in
hauling the cream, leaving the Padua
station at 11:00 o'clock in the morn
ing, three times a week, and deliver
ing the cream to Sank Centre. If
this plan is adopted the patrons of the
iPadua creamery will receive only
slightly less for their butterfat under
this method than the patrons of the
Sank Lake Creamery, and it will be
a better price than the Padua farm
ers are receiving under present con-
ditions.
B. F. Dubois finally offered the fol-
lowing motion which was seconded by
G. ". Morse:
eMOved that the Sank Centre
Commercial Club 60 on record as
being very much opposed to the
Blue Valley Sweet Creamery Co.
coming into our community; that
in our opinion it Will be highly
detrimental to the interests of
this section; this decision is ar
rived at after taking into cOnsid-
Grafton the prices paid by the
Blue Valley Co. for butterfat in
all of the various states in which
they operate; that the Sank Gen.
tire Commercial Club give. all
possible support to the Sank Lake
Co-Operative Creamery Associa-
ton and fight to maintain the
present high standard, efficiency
and output of the Sank Lake Co.
Operative Creamery"
The motion was carried without a
dissenting vote.
Last evning was the time set fol
the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year but as there was much un-
finished business left, it was deccid.
Eeed to postpone the election of the
new officers until the meeting to be

ASSOCIATION BANQUET A
SUCCESS

After long six year wait, former
members of the Wauwatosa Boys
Brigade-Minute Men-Light GuarC
Association, finally got together and
held a reunion and banquet at the
Eagle Hotel, Menomonee Falls. The
trip from this city was made by auto
and SIS men put their feet under the
table. After breaking the laws of
fasting, the tables were cleared and
mid clouds of smoke old camp times
were talked and laughed over and
many a mysterious happening at camp
was brought to light for the first
time. For instance, years ago at one
of the early camps when Paddy Hart
was the supposed cook, dish, having
a similar taste, was dished up at the
morning, noon and night mess, and
everybody wondered what the ingredi-
ents we're, until last Friday night,
when Paddy confessed. Early photos
were passed around for inspec-
ton, which brought forth few more
forgotten incidents. The election of
officers then followed and the follow
ing were elected:
President-Paul G. Warren.
Vice-President - Ray Shoemaker.
Treasurer-Otto A. Zillmer.
Secretary-Frank n. Ferguson.
Trustees years, C. L. Benoy; 2
years, Everett C. Hart; l year, Ralph
Hammond.
A few minutes of thought were then
given to the comrades who had an
swered their last roll cali.
Everyone present vowed they would
be present at the next reunion and the
hope was expressed that a get-to-
gether meeting could be held next
year. Some of the boys came quite a
distance to be present: Don Angus
dropped all thoughts of business when
he drove up from Indianapolis, Ind;
likewise "Fuzz" White, who drove up
from Whiting, Ind.
