The race for the republican NOM
ination for Governor of New Hamp-
shire will be confined to two men,
Maj. Frank Knox Of Manchester and
Capt. John Winant of Concord.

the news that the administration Of

tion In the state tax. The reduction
amounted to $S7,664.56, Of which Man

RICHMOND, Va, December a.
The political atmosphere is clearing
considerably as applied to the gov

lStme there are three men who really
are in the race. Unless they openly
declare that they are not to enter

up to the date that lists close.
The field at this time is restricte ed
to Senator Harry F. Byrd of Win

Junius E. West Of Suffolk.
OF these, Senator Mapp is the only
openly avowed aspirant. Senator
Byrd will be in the race. based on

and the anti-bond people are moving
in great force to have him make his
statement, which may be done near
the end Of the approaching session

Lieut. Gov. West of Suffolk Is
known to have told a few of his
friends that he would make the

he would make the formal statement

The final race may be made with
just two candidates-one bond and
one anti-bond. Such is the feeling
a renewal of the bitter contest Of
the campaign which ended in No
vember of this year, when the voters
rejected the bond plan for roads by
a majority of $4,000. The anti-bond
people are firmly resolved that they
will not allow the decision of the
people to be interfered with by the
bond forces, and the air Is filled with
rumors as to what the bond forces
will do to hinder the directions of
the people to the legislature on this
issue.

in February, for Richmond. at which

The committee will have to fix the
basis of representation, and now that
the women of the state have a vote

the number of delegates will be con-

About Blue Valley
Pioneer Chicago Creamery

good price, but not at the better price
obtained for Blue Valley package but
ter to the retailers where the individ-
ual consumers would get to know it
by name and become steady Blue Val
ley customers. That is the only
marketing system by which creamery
patrons can be paid all they are en-
titled to and that was the system
Blue Valley had worked hard to build
up.
You will remember from one of the
first chapters of the history of the
Blue Valley Creamery Co. published
in the Sank Centre Herald, how the
fact that the old Marysville creamery
was unable to supply the consumer
demand for Blue Valley package but
ter in st. Joseph and Kansas City
compelled us to ship in butter from
Chicago. You will remember how UNI
satisfactory that arrangement proved,
and how it led to the organization of
the Blue Valley Creamery Co., the
establishment of the Blue Valley
Creamery in St. Joseph, the pioneer
hand separator creamery on large
scale-all in order to give the individ
ual consumers Blue Valley butter

System it didn't matter whether they
had few or many cows, whether their
neighbors MIXED or did not milk cows,
whether their shipping point had a
creamery or cream agents, or none of
these-they all got the same price
for their cream, and on the whole it
was-and is-a higher price than
anybody else was paying, or they
would not have patronized us month
after month, year in and year out.
r Thousands upon thousands Of farm
ers in other parts of the country,
wherever Blue Valley creamery is
situated, have since and are today ap-
proving of the Blue Valley Creamery
System in the same way as the farm
ers did our st. Joseph plant-by pat
ronizing it. And for the same rea-
sons.
More Butter Than~We Could Sell
AS result of the great approval of
the farmers, the Blue Valley creamery
at st. Joseph in the course of a few
years found itself making more Blue
Valley butter than we possibly could
sell to the retailer trade we had estab-
lished. We could readily sell it whole
sale in the open market and at a

The farmers down in Missouri and
Kansas soon gave their approval to
the Blue Valley creamery at st. 10
seph, Mo-, and the Blue Valley Cream
cry System we were building up for
them with the opening of that pioneer
hand separator plant in 1900. Their
approval came first by tens, then by
hundreds, then by thousands of them
becoming Blue Valley patrons.
They liked the Blue Valley way Of
marketing their milk. 1t was, and is,
the cheapest way. They found that
it cut out all middlemen all along
the way to the grocery store selling
the butter made from their milk, and
gave them sweet and warm skim milk
for their young. stock besides. The
Blue Valley Creamery System made
them more money all along the line
from the milk pail to the consumer
a cheap and easy way to sell the
cream, the most economical system
of making the cream into butter and
the shortest and quickest way of get
ting it to the retailers, cutting out
all middlemen all along the line.
These thousands of farmers found
that under the Blue Valley Creamery

and every one of our farmer patrons
the benefit Of the Blue Valley system
of selling Blue Valley butter in trade
marked packages direct through the
retailers.
Shoe on Other Foot
Now the shoe was on the other foot.
So many farmers patronized our ST.
Joseph creamery that the direct-to-
retailer trade in Blue Valley butter
which we had established in that city
and in Kansas City could not consume
it all, and we had to build more trade
of that kind in other cities. Otherwise
our patrons would get lower price
for their cream.
So we hustled up and developed
what retail trade we could in the larg-
er, nearby towns. But it was not en-
tirely satisfactory. 1t was hard to
supervise and push it. 1t was hard to
keep in personal touch with it. Re-
frigerator service on railroads out of
ST. Joseph was limited. 1t cost too
much money to give the real service
to retailers and consumers that goes
with every pound of Blue Valley but
ter.

Got Chilly Reception In Chicago

them of the system that uses no
cream agents, manufactures butter
and does business at minimum ex-
pense and sells its own butter in pack
age form direct to the retailers, cut
ting out all middlemen and their ex-
penses and profits.
Blue Valley Now Part of Chicago
For in the meantime the uniformity
and keeping quality of Blue Valley
package butter gradually won its way
to the individual consumers They
found they could depend on the but
ter in the blue and yellow Blue Val
ley package. They asked for it at
the corner grocery and were willing to
pay little more to get it.
The chilly reception changed to
hearty approval long ago. Today,
Blue Valley is part of Chicago, and the
people of Chicago think of it as one
of their institutions and think well of
it. Ask anybody who has lived any
length of time in Chicago about Blue
Valley, and you will find him speak
ing about Blue Valley as part of his
old home town. We gave him depend
able butter and both he and the Blue
Valley patrons profted.
The Blue Valley creamery was the
first large creamery in Chicago 1t
did the pioneer work for better butter
service to the great city and better
creamery service to thousands of
farmers. The Blue Valley Creamery
System won. Those who said it could
not be done are today seeing not only
Blue Valley there, but several other
large creameries.
Large as our retail trade in Chic
ago is, it supplies after all only a
part of the great local consumption

In 1906, six years after establish
ing the first Blue Valley creamery in
ST. Joseph, we opened Blue Valley
creamery in Chicago. We believed
then that establishing ourselves in
Chicago would help us give better SER
vice than anybody else to both farm
ers and consumers. We know it now.
Blue Valley once more was the
pioneer. Ours was the first large
creamery in Chicago. Again we were
scoffed at, laughed at, condemned. It
couldn't be done, our critics said 1t
would ruin us or ruin the dairy bust
ness. Nobody had ever heard of a
large creamery in Chicago, just like
nobody had ever heard of a Sweet
Cream Creamery in Sank Centre until
Blue Valley started building
Another Pioneer Blue Valley
Undertaking
The middlemen in the great Chicago
butter market, the interests that made
their profits off the butter from a
thousand creameries and hundred
thousand farmers, gave us three years
to close up that creamery. Nobody
in Chicago seemed to want us there.
The reception we got was a chilly one.
Nobody seemed able to see what
Blue Valley wanted with creamery
in Chicago. Surely there were no farm
ers and no cows. What service could
we render the farmers out in the coun-
try or the consumers in that big city,
that would justify the investment and
the expense? Whoever heard of MAX
ing butter in Chicago? Whoever
heard of farmers shipping cream to
Chicago, except for table use? These
and many other questions were asked
in the butter trade and in the cream
cry industry.

Decentralization or Authority in the
U. S. Veterans Bureau
Recently considerable publicity has
been given to the statement that fin
al decisions on the claims of disabled
ex-service men were not made in the
District office of the u. S. Veterans
Bureau but had to be sent to the Cen
trail Office at Washington and that
this procedure involved good deal of
anxiety and delay. This statement is
misleading and is the cause of some
misunderstanding. One of the out
standing policies of the u. S. Veter-
ans Bureau, under the dictatorship of
Col. G. r. Forbes, is the decentraliza-
ton of its work and authority. This
results in a closer personal contact
with each beneficiary of the Bureau
in its dealings with them, and in re-
ducing to minimum the time neces-
sary to settle their claims.

was created less than a year and
half ago to take over the duties of

1t was the hardest kind of work to
get that Blue Valley creamery in Chi
cago established. It meant lot of
more pioneering all around. The rail
roads and their stations were not
equipped to handle cans of cream from
individual shippers. Some of them
feared we might upset their well or
gained milk trains. All that had to
be overcome.
The wholesale and retail trade in
butter was well organized Old Gus
toms had to be changed. Prejudices
had to be overcome. Competition
with butter brands of many long-es-
tablished dealers had to be met. Bust
ness connections of many years
standing had to be broken into.
But the Farmers Approved
But again the farmers that could
ship cream into Chicago approved by
giving us their patronage, even beyond
all our expectations. 1t was our ex-
perience at st. Joseph all over again.
Our surveys of the country around
Chicago, before establishing cream
cry there, had convinced us that the
Blue Valley Creamery System would
be profitable to many farmers, who for
one reason or other could not ship
milk for city trade and had no good
local market.
The great patronage the farmers
gave our Chicago plant within COM.
paratively short time and are giving
that creamery today proved our in
vestigation to be correct. The Blue
Valley Creamery System gave the
farmers better service and better
prices for the cream they had to ship.
They soon recognized the value to
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-02-01

There is plenty of competition. The
great advantage Blue Valley banked
on for our patrons when we estab-
'ished a creamery in Chicago, besides
the great number of consumers, was
overlooked by those who said it could
not be done. That advantage was and
is the facilities for shipping out but
ter to any point in the country.
The Great Advantage
From Chicago you can ship, under
refrigeration, one pound of butter or
q carload to any point anywhere, any
day in the year. You can do that
from nowhere else. You can readily
see what advantage that gives the
farmers everywhere who sell their
cream to the Blue Valley Creamery
System.
Blue Valley has been able to build
up retailer trade for Blue Valley
package butter in hundreds of smaller
cities, because from Chicago we can
ship any number of packages when
ever wanted. We are able to give
service anywhere and today Blue
Valley package butter is sold as reg
ularly in retail stores in Florida as in
Michigan, in Virginia as in Texas.
To supply all this retailer trade we
now draw on the many Blue Valley
creameries since established and dis
tribute their surplus from our Chicago
plant.
In that way Blue Valley has built
up its system of selling all Blue Val
ley butter direct to retailers in trade
marked packages, cutting out all
middlemen. Our patrons get the ben
eft, all according to the quality of the
cream they are able to deliver to our
plants.

Bowling Memorial Fund
to Be Raised by Feb. II
E. X. Whiting, Owatonna Newspaper
man is Organizing Entire State by
Counties

'The fund of 100000 to build ane
equip the Michael ]. Bowling Indus
trial School must be raised by popular
subscription by February II, said E
| X. Whiting, vice-chairman of the com.
nittee in charge.
Organization of the entire state by
counties is in progress, letters appoint
ing leading men and women of the
state as county chairmen having
gone out last week. The response ac-
cording to Mr.. Whiting, has been most
gratifying and is indicative that the
effort will be carried through to a
successful conclusion.
1t has been definitely determined
by the Committee" said Mr.. Whiting,
that the school will be located ad-
joining the State Hospital for Grip
pied Children at Phalen Park, St.
Paul. 1t will provide vocational
training and help these children 70
lead useful, self respecting lives. The
location" Mr.. Whiting continued,
lis perfect, for the State already
owns acres beautifully wooded and
providing an ideal setting for the
children"
"If every citizen of Minnesota
could go through the hospital and see
the pressing need for This school, the
fund would be completed over night, .
Mr.. Whiting said. However, aside
from the sentimental interest we all
ieel for crippled children the carrying
through of this project presents a IL
nancial angle of almost equal I'M
portance. In some instances, the hos
rltal is able to cure deformity so
that child may live normal exist
ence. However, in the great majority
OF instances the child is incapable of
self-support without special training.
The committee believes that it is good
business for the State of Minnesota
to set these children on the road to
by teaching them a
trade or occupation by which they can
support themselves"
: ut is most fitting" said Mr.. Whit
ing, that this school should bear
the name of Michael j. Bowling, Min
nesota's 'gamest man. Without
hands or feet, an orphan, a county
charge, lacking even a grammar
school education, Mr.. Bowling recog-
nized that his sole asset was his
mind. The start of his career dates
back to two terms at Carleton Col
lege where he learned how to study
1t is hard to conceive of anyone being
more badly crippled physically than
was Mr.. Bowling. Mentally he was
all right. He forgot his liabilities
and developed his sole asset. This
school will do for the crippled children
OF Minnesota what was done for Mr..
bowling"
The school will be under the super
vision of the State Board of Control.
1t is necessary that legislative action
be had during the present session
that will enable the Board of Con
troll to include the school in its bud
get during the coming two year per-
lod. For that reason it is most ur-
gent that the fund be completed by
February II and the building in order
that its maintenance may be properly
