SATISFIED WITH BUSINESS

A letter received by L. z. Krebs,
local manager of the Blue Valley
Sweet Cream Creamery in Sank Gen.
tire, from the head office of the COM
pany at Chicago, received a few days
ago, fielicitated the Sank Centre man
upon the showing he has made since
the creamery started the business
here July 9th. According to the let
ter, Mr.. Krebs is highly complimented
on a So per cent increase of four
weeks business, including the last two
weeks in September and the first two
in October, over the first four weeks
business at the time the company
started in Sank Centre in July. The
letter goes on to state that while the
output is small, the showing made is
very satisfactory because Of the fact
that the present period is one of low
cream production on the farm. The
general manager stated that it was
the experience Of the Blue Valley
Company that it generally takes a
Blue Valley Creamery several years
to build up satisfactory business
and under the circumstances they
were greatly pleased with the pro
gress being made by the local cream
cry.

COMMUNITY CLUB
OPENING ASUCCESS
TWO HUNDRED CITIZENS HAVE
SPLENDID TIME LAST
EVENING.
IDEA FULLY DEVELOPED
HAPPY TALKS MADE BY PRESI-
DENT MOORE, MAYOR PARK
Err, AND OTHERS.

The formal opening of the Sank
Centre Community Club rooms last
evening was an unusual success. It
brought together nearly 200 of Sank
Centres citizens, at WHICH people of
all religious denominations, Of every
profession and business, rubbed ell
bows and mingled socially and enjoy
ed themselves to the utmost.
Promptly at TOO o'clock 100 sat
down to a most sumptuous dinner
prepared by the ladies of Our Lady
of the Angels Church. The ladies of
this organization are famous as cooks
but the manner in which they prepar-
ed and served the Community Club
dinner won them new laurels.
Preceding the dinner and during
its serving local orchestra consisting
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry RAIDER, DR.. A.
l.. Blk, DIR. P. o. Peterson, Chas.
Miller and Anthony Schoenhoff, fur
nished splendid music.
At the conclusion of the feed L. L.
Kells most gracious postmaster
took charge of the ceremonies. Mr..
Kells stated that the occasion was
quite proper for a spasm of commun-
ity singing and introduced Gordon
Morse as the leader. The Herald ed
itor never knew before that Mr..
Morse was song bird and nothing
developed during the singing to cause
US to change our minds. Mr.. Morse
inspired sufficient pep into those who
really could sing to make this part of
the program enjoyable.
The development of Sank Centres
Community Club idea into the SPLEEN
did rooms which the Club now
enjoys is the result of the work of
a man of vision-a dreamer-"Bill
Moore. AS the Herald stated last
week when Mr.. Moore assumed the
presidency of the old Commercial Club
several months ago he did so only
after the business men assured him
that they would follow his lead in
|! any undertaking he inaugurated to
to place the badly crippled organiza-
ton upon its feet.
For several weeks after his election
nothing appeared on the surface, but
one day the gentleman called on a
number of business men with detailed

Manufactures Hopes to Bring
About Universal Peace
Through Making All
People Prosperous

DETROIT, Jan. 2o.+Henry Fords
industrial expansion program is
world wide. not national in scope,
and has been undertaken with the
underlying motive of educating the
people of the world to such a degree
and of making them SO prosperous
that wars will be ended forever
This was disclosed today as the
motive back of the Detroit manufac-
turer's desire to extend his opera
tons into every part of the world.
Mr.. Ford believes that "a busy.
prosperous people do not stop work
to make war; they go to war only
when it is necessary to protect their
homes or their ideals when these are
menaced by some more idle nation"
Give Jobs
When the time comes that every
one. everywhere. has a job and last
ing prosperity has been created as a
result, the people of any nation will
be too busy and too happy to even
think about war" the manufactures
says, Therefore. it is pointed out
by those in close touch with him,
he is convinced that world Industrial
expansion, bringing with it pros
perity for all peoples in all lands
automatically will make war impos-
sible
The manufacturer is known to be-
lieve that the automobile is the agent
that will usher. in the millennium OF
world peace.
When the people of any coun-
try get to understand automobiles
and use them daily, they will know
considerably more about machinery,
he declares. "Then, in the course OF
few years agricultural machinery
will appear in that country. Hun
dreds of bushels of grain will be
produced where only a few were
grown before. In many foreign
countries the farmers know nothing
of machinery. Probably they will not
know it until they have learned to
use automobiles.

Machinery will help to make any
country prosperous.

PLAN PARISH HOUSE

Plans for a parish house to be
erected by Trinity Episcopal church
have been approved, and members of
the congregation interested in the
movement state that actual construc-
ton will soon be under way. The
parish house will be erected on the
lot adjoining the church at Berkeley
avenue and Twentieth street, and
will be a large frame building of sew
eral rooms.
Rev Joseph Scheifflin, the rector,
became interested in the building of
a parish house Immediately on his
arrival here, and his suggestion that
one be built met with an enthusiast
tic response among members of the
congregation. The needs of the
church were carefully gone over by a
building committee and a structure
suitable for this city outlined.
1t will contain a basement which
can be made into a dining hall, while
the upper floor will contain large
auditorium, capable of seating 500.
One of DR.. Sheifflin's plans is to or
game a dramatic club and the au-
ditorium viii have a stage big
enough to take care of large home
talent performances. Other rooms
will be fitted out for the various So
cieties of the church. s
