Stearns County Farmers
and Other Industries to
Work Up Good Exhibit

Stearns County farmers are in
preparation at present for the placing
of creditable exhibits at the Min
nesota State Fair. 1t is stated that a
mamouth map of Minnesota will be
displayed in the agricultural exhibits
building at the Minnesota State
Fair. On this map 81 counties viii
be in white and At in black. The 81
which will be shown in white on the
maps are those which are making ex-
hibits at the fair. Stearns, Benton,
and Sherburne counties will be among
the exhibitors and there will be keen
and friendly competition between the
three. Every county exhibiting will
receive minimum of $3.50 from the
state association towards paying the
expense, and if they are fortunate
enough to be placed among the
winners, will get a much larger
amount.
The Stearns County exhibits will
include not only agricultural products
but all lines of endeavor and every
one is urged to get in touch with L.

would not be received with pleasure

r. W. HUNTEMER RE
TANNED CO. AGENT
STEARNS COUNTY FARM BUR-
EAU DIRECTORS DECIDE TO
CONTINUE SERVICE
GET NO APPROPRIATION
CARRY ON WITH MEMBERS
DUES, ALSO STATE AND
FEDERAL AID

w. Huntemer, who, for the past
several years has been the county
agent in the employ of the Stearns
County Farm Bureau, will be re-
tanned in his present position. The
fact that the board of county COM
missioners did not make appropria-
ton this year does not mean that the
county agent will be dispensed with.
This was decided at meeting of
the Stearns County Farm Bureau ex-
ecutive board, following the receipt
of over 60 letters from members re-
questing that the services of the
county agent would not be dispensed
with if funds were available.
The Stearns county farm bureau
had $908. 90 in it's treasury from the
receipt of S.. 90 annual dues paid by
the members. By employing coun-
ty agent it is entitled to $3.50. 90 Fed
eral aid and state aid of $1,000,
making a grand total of $2,668. It
was therefore decided that it was pos
sible to continue the county agents
services and as Mr.. Huntemer has
given excellent satisfaction in the
past, he will be retained in the posi-
ton as long as the funds last.
The Board of County Commission
ers were influenced by an insistent
demand for the curtailment of expen-
ditures o f county funds in turning
down the appropriation from the
county for a county agent.
The Herald believes it would be a
step backward if the county agent
was dispensed with in Stearns Coun-
ty, and is glad to learn that the
Stearns County Farm Bureau will re-
tain P. W. Hunterher in that posi-
tion

COMMISSION ASKS
FOR COOPERATION
WATER LIGHT AND POWER
BILLS MUST BE PAID BE-
FORE DELINQUENT ,
OR SERVICE Is CUT OFF
SIXTY DAYS ALLOWED AFTER
AMOUNT BECOMES DUE
RE.CONNECTION CHARGE

The Sank Centre Water Light and
Power Commission has decided to en-
force the ruling adopted April lst'
1919 which requires that when an
account for electricity becomes delln-
ouent. the service shall be discon-
nected. Accounts are due and pay
able the 1st of the month following
that in which service is rendered and
if paid within the next 80 days de-
duction of the meter rental is allow
ed. 60 days after accounts are due
thew become delinquent and then the
service will be cut off until such time
as all past due accounts are paid, plus
a Recommending charge of $1.OO.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Her
aid the Water Light and Power Com
mission make a statement to- this eff
feet.
It may not be generally known,
hut it is the desire of the commission
to call the attention of users OF cleo
tricity to the fact that arrangements
have been made whereby any person
having a checking account can have
their electricity bill presented to their
bank where it will be honored the
same as a check and the receipted bill
sent to them with their cancelled
checks. A good many people who
have checking accounts prefere to
handle the matter in this manner and
if this is your desire, communicate
with secretary Conklin who will be
clad to follow this method.
In the past, superintendent john
McGibbon has always done the col
lecting and it has necessltated lou
of chasing around, calling on some
places time and time again. ~ >-
It is the desire of the commission
that the same treatment be accorded
to all electricity patrons. Therefore,
the rule of disconnecting the service
when accounts are delinquent will be
followed in the future.
All patrons will be notified lO days
before accounts become delinquent.
The commission urgently requests
that all users of current give their
best cooperation in order that as
connections will not be necessary.

Two Drowned in
Osakis Lake Last Friday
Vern, Ray and HALEY Frye Capsize
Boat-Two Drowned-Other is
Rescued

Friday night of last week, Lake
Osakis claimed the lives of two life
long residents of that vicinity.
Vern, Ray, and HALEY Frye
started out across the lake about
II 100 at night, we understand. When
about three-fourths of "a mile from
shore it is said one of the boys start
ed to change places with Vern, who
had been rowing. The boat had been
partly filled with water and this had
been dumped out just before they
left shore. 1t is presumed that the
bottom of the boat was slippery and
this was the cause of the boat being
overturned when he attempted to
change from one seat to another.
All three boys were thrown into
the water; Vern the oldest, upon.
coming to the surface caught sight
of the boat, swan to it and although
it was somewhat wate-logged and
did not ride as high in the water as
boat ordinarily would, still he chung
to it and shouted for help. Neither.
of his brothers, Ray nor HALEY, came
to the surface after the boat was cap
sized. Vern's cries for help were
heard at the Idlewild hotel and a
party went to his rescue. He had
taken in considerable amount of
water but was not in serious con-
dition. A deligent search failed to
disclose any trace Of the other two
boys until Saturday morning when
one of the bodies was located by
dragging, and shortly after, the other
was recovered not a very long dis
lance away.
The Frye boys have lived in and
around Osakis all their lives. Vern
was the oldest of the trio and HALEY
the youngest. Both of the boys who
lost their lives were considered ex-
cellent swimmers but it is presumed
that because of the fact that they had
on shoes while Vern had on boots,
which could be easily slipped off
when he was thrown into the water,
may have had something to do with
the fact that Vern was able to reach
the boat and the other boys lost their
lives.

Thinks Wallace Home
Town Publicity Great
Gordon v. Morse Says Sank Centre
Has Been Brought to Attention
of Whole United States
(By c.. V. Morse)

4. Asa M. Wallace is responsible fol-
the greatest newspaper publicity ever
given Sank Centre, Mr.. Wallace is in
the east where he went to attend the
National Editorial Associations Con
vention. Upon July %, the New
York World, one of the largest New
York Dailies, published an interview
upon the first page, which included
Mr.. Wallace's photo. This interview
was prepared by Frank Sullivan, fol
Syndicate Service, a service which
goes to "a of the leading dailies OF
the country, and it is safe to say that
practically all of the Cd published the
story.
The next day the New York World
published story prepared by Mr.
Wallace himself and published under
his name. This story was for the
service.
The St. Cloud Journal Press of
July 20, carried story by Josephine
Van de Grift, N. E. A. service staff
writer, together with photograph OF
Mr.. Wallace, surrounded by cartoon
by Stanley, N. E. A. staff cartoon
list. This press service goes to 634
newspapers throughout the country
Undoubtedly majority of the 634
papers printed this story, so one OF
more of these stories have appeared
Aside from the forging, the Penn
sylvania Daily Ledger of July rs
published an interview with Mr.. Wal
lace, and also included a second in
terview with him in another article,
of the same issue, both interviews be-
ing entirely independent of the other
press service. We expect to find
that Mr.. Wallace received more pub
licity than any other man attending
the convention.
A considerable amount of ground
is covered in his stories, but the gist
of it all, is that there is no better
place to live than Sank Centre, that
there are no better people in any city
than Sank Centre, and that Mime
sofa is the greatest state in the Union.
It usually takes murder, robbery,
divorce, or President Harding to get
such widespread publicity. We are
not informed as to just what Mr..
Wallace had under his belt to enable
him to put this across, but he surely
saw the opportunity, and made the
most of it.

BIGGEST ATTENDANCE IN
STATES HISTORY FORECAST

When the great gates open with a
clang on the Minnesota State Fair
and Northwest Dairy Exposition,
September 1 to 8, at least 35 and
possibly 40 county exhibits will be
on display in the Agricultural Build
ing R. F. Hall, superintendent of
the department announced today.
A purebred Holstein Bull, son of
Segis Pontiac Count, owned by Sem
ator j. M. Hackney, St. Paul, is to
be awarded to that county bringing
the largest resident delegation to the
exposition, Mr.. Hall announced /.
Mr.. Hall has organized a committee
on award comprising N. j. Holm
berg, commissioner of agriculture
Edward Barr, executive director
Northwest Dairy Exposition; Thomas
H. Garfield, secretary of the State
Fair; and John A. Stoneburg, mem
Der of the Fair Board and himself.
Only ten counties. had exhibits in
1922. The interest aroused by the
fact that spectators are to have ''two
shows in one" this year, and the ex-
traordinary activity manifested
throughout the Northwest in the dairy
industry are assigned by Mr.. Hall
for the greatly increased number OF
county exhibits.
Exhibitors will find the Agricul.
tural Building a completely new
building. Every old decoration has
been discarded. In recognition Of
the connection between agriculture
and dairying a plaster of paris figure
of dairy cow ten feet high will sur.
mount pedestal under the rotunds
and dominate the exhibits.

BIGGEST LIVESTOCK SHOW
IN HISTORY OF ANY FAIR

The biggest livestock show in the
history of any state fair ever held is
promised this year for the Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Dairy Elk
position, September to 8, according
to Secretary Thomas H. Garfield.
The big feature of the livestock
show will be the Northwest Dairy
Exposition, at which from 1900 to
1900 head of the choicest dairy cat
tie in American will be exhibited {.
The prizes for dairy cattle have been
doubled, and total more than $751;
900. Entries for this show close
Monday, August 6. Entries for beef
cattle close the same day.
There will be a big exhibit of
horses. Interest in the horse exhibit
is increasing, due to the greater de-
mand for pure-bred animals for
breeding purposes. The evening
horse show in the livestock pavilion,
five nights of the fair, will be a
wonderful feature. Entries for
breeding horses close August 6, while
entries for the evening horse show
division close August 10.
The sheep and swine shows are ex-
pected to be unusually large when en-
tries close August 10. Poultry en-
tries close Tuesday, August Fl.

horses, $19,O25; swine, $7,21Oi
sheep, $4,840; poultry, $685.,

Round Figures to Think Over

Clip this out and put it in your
pocket memo, paste it in your hat or
tack it up in the garage, and when
thinking about good roads and auto
taxes just remember that
In Minnesota this year 100000
motor vehicles worth 1922, 100000, at
$3.50, are covering 2,150,000, 900
miles, at 500 each, and $215, 000,-
600 is the aggregate cost at 10c a
mile-$33,50O,000 for gasoline at
Is miles on 231Ac gallon, $34,500,-
900 for tires, besides repairs and
depreciation.
While the average car pays $1,000
auto tax or 1-3c a mile for using
1000 miles of better state highways,
including APO miles of pavement and
1000 of rural boulevards, taking
1910 a foot 7 3-4c for upkeep
and II 3-4c for improvement this
year.
So good roads savings at only lie
a mile mean $21, 100000 year
times the auto tax-$3
saved at that rate on every auto tax
paid in.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, whose figures al
ways have proved conservative, as
serts that good roads are paying for
themselves may times over. And the
question is whether you want to go
on spending your money for extra
gasoline, tires, repairs and so forth,
or put part of that extra money into
better roads at home and go when
you please, with economy, in comfort
and convenience.

.....,.- At SO Cent on Dollar
Retterments in Many Parts of State
Will be Pushed to Afford Earii-

Twenty important improvements
IN the Minnesota trunk highway sys-
tenn placed under contract at Sl,ooo'-
5OO-nearly S150,00O less than eng
ineers' estimates-that is the result
of the biggest 1928 state highway let
ting to date on awards by Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commissioner.
A call for bids on another list is plan
ned within thirty days.
New contracts will cover 1872 miles
of grading, 81 of paving, 1S OF gray
cling and 7 bridges, widely distrlbu-
ted over the statewide system. They
will be financed mainly with county
reimbursement bond money, Commls-
oner Babcock said. But it is plan
ned to use less than half the $11 900
900 total of new county bonds auth
orized by the 1923 legislature, ne adj
ded, because the requirement that
funds must be used in the county IS
sueing the bonds, in some cases would
mean taking of money for minor i'm
movements ahead of those most need
ed for economy and general public
gain.
"Morel low prices are gratifying,
hut increase the regret that the state
is without working capital necessary
to take greater advantage of them
to give the public needed road i'm
movements now and at big savings
in the end" said Mr.. Babcock.
High officials commented on de-
crease in the number OF bidders.
More local road work on which com n
petition is not so keen and greater
building activities taking excavatlng
and other equipment had an effect,
they explained. Competition for state
Jobs was sharp, nevertheless, and the
prices tended to justify state rather
than county contracting on trunk
route projects.
