In every country where / am
called upon to help women solve the
riddle of good looks, I come across
different skin conditions, but there
is one trouble that persists seeming
ly in spite of all varieties of climate
and conditions. 1 refer to black
heads.
Nine out of every ten ONE are
vexed by these horrid little "blaok
pests" as the French call them,
that not only make the skin dull
and muddy looking but often lead to
the dreaded pimples and spots called
acne.
A blackhead is a tiny dust particle
that embeds itself in the skin, held
there by the natural secretion of the
skin. The pores unable to rid them
selves of these irritants send out a
call for help to the little juice secret
ing glands which respond by rushing
their moisture to the affected parts.
If the pores are still unable to dis
lodge the impure dust particles the
secretions overflow onto the skins
surface and all the while the pores
are stretching and losing their
power to close.
That is why we seldom see black
heads without shine" and enlarged
pores.
The chief thing to be considered
Is how to purify the skin, reduce the
pores to normal and regulate the
secretions.

products were going up while butter
there was not cream right around st.
Joseph in volume sufficient to operate
a creamery economically, nor was
there sufficient volume at any other
one point in that part of the country
to support creamery. This, by the
way, to a very large extent, is also
true today, and this difference between
Minnesota conditions and those of
many other states accounts very large
ly for the difference in creamery
systems and butterfat prices.
In order to secure sufficient volume
to run a creamery economically, cream
had to be drawn from a comparatively
large territory, which meant shipping
it by rail. Again the fact that none Of
the smaller towns could get cream
enough to run a creamery of it's own
made it necessary for the farmers
around these towns to ship their cream
to Blue Valley in St. Joseph or, little
later, to one of the other hand sep
arator creameries that started up in
other cities iii the territory.
But whether the farmers hauled or
shipped their cream to Blue Valley,
they dealt direct with us-each one
went to the railroad station and ship
ued his own cream and Blue Valley
paid him direct by check,
Ut was-and is-a cheap and easy
way to sell cream. There were no mid
dlemen to take toll of the farmers
cream and come between him and his
cream market, and by being in direct
touch with every patron, Blue Valley
could and did help each one produce
and deliver a good grade of cream.

who voted for the Times and Der

who voted for the Times and Der
Nordstern.
Der Nordstern refers to the poor
service furnished the county several
years ago when the Herald was
awarded the bid for the County print
ing. The present Herald editor knows
something about that contract as we
carried out the latter part of the con-
tract made by Mr.. Wells with Stearns
County. The poor service, which is
admitted, is directly traceable to Der
Nordstern. Ostensibly Der Nordstern
was in on the bid with the other pub
fishers. Their part of the work was
to do the composition for which they
charged Mr.. Wells an exorbitant
price. The writer had not been the
publisher of the Herald q very great
length of time before it dawned on
him that the commissioners proceed
ings were not being delivered to the
Herald in time to give the county the
service they had right to expect. On
more than one occasion we got in
touch with the County Auditor, max
ing inquiry as to whether or not the
proceedings had been delivered to Der
Nordstern, and found that the copy
was delivered in ample time. On tax
ing the matter up with Der Nord-
stern, we were informed that there
were delays which wer unavoidable
but to US it looked like deliberate
hold up of the County business in or
der to get the county publishers in
bad with the commissioners when the
matter came up at the January meet
ing following. At any rate that was
the strong point that the Times usec
the following year.
The charge made that the County
officials must read proof on lega,
publications is pure bunk. The Herald
editor has had some experience in
handling county work and the only
proofs that are ever read by the
county officers is to verify the delin-
quent tax list.
The hope that Der Nordstern ex,
presses that care and cooperation will
be used ito insure legal and valid
publications is pure bunk. The Herald
in their hearts they hope that the
Herald and it's colleagues will fall
down on handling the county print
ing this year.
The Herald last week published The
proceedings of the meetings held JAN
uary 4, and all the papers in Stearns
County will carry the procee !ings IN
supplement form this week, so il
doesn't indicate that very much time
was lost in getting the Commissioners
proceedings before the people.

No Cream Agents in Blue Valley System

The cream agent is just another
middleman in the creamery business
and, like his brethren in the butter
markets, too expensive for the farm
ers. He simply adds to the farmers
expense of marketing cream. In fact,
he is far more expensive to the farmer
than was the old system of hauling
whole milk and skim milk that Blue
Valley was the first to do away with
The service he renders the farmer, if
any at all, is so small that any pay is
too big.
1t is not only his commission that
makes the cream agent, as an intitu-
ton, expensive to the farmers The
fact that he works on a commission
makes him anxious to get every pound
of cream he can, and for that reason
he is very apt to overlook the quality
of the cream. He is very apt to do so
anyway, because cream buying is a
side line with him and ne can't afford
the training necessary to Judge cream
He becomes afraid to talk better care
of the cream to his patrons for fear
of offending them and driving away
their business. All creamery ex-
perience of the past twenty years
shows that the average quality of the
cream sold through cream agents OF
anybody working on commission for
quantity only, is of much lower
grade than that sold direct to the
creamery that looks for quality first
and quantity second.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-01-18

Of the places where most of these
agents did-and do-buSiness.
A cream "station" to our mind was
and is-a place pretty much like a
creamery, only smaller. To be worthy
of the name station, it should be
built for the purpose of handling
cream in the most sanitary manner
and equipped not only to weigh an'
test cream correctly, but to cool and
protect the cream until shipping time
and to wash and steam the patrons
cans. In fact, to do justice to the farm
ers and their business, it should be a
creamery without churn. And above
T all, it should be in charge of trained
creamery man employed full time and
therefore controlled by the creamery
owning such cream "station" or
Creamery. If the cream agent places
in early days and those we have seen
since are worthy of the name of cream
stations" then any sidetrack is a
railroad Station" and any gasoline
pump is a filling station.
D.
Another Expensive Middleman
AS stated, the cream agents got
numerous. Every town had at leas
one and some towns had several of
them, and all of them got little
cream, some of which formerly was
shipped to Blue Valley direct by the
farmers. At some points they sue
ceeded in getting so much cream that
we thought that, in self-protection, we
too had to have cream agents. So we
had quite number of them for a
while, but soon dismissed every one
of them and have never had them
since. The only good they did Blue
Valley and Blue Valley patrons was
to teach us good lesson and find out
all about the cream agent system.
This is what we found:

Cheap Way to Market Cream

AS result of the Blue Valley hand
separator campaign told about last
week, more and more farmers down in
Missouri and Kansas bought hand
separators and sold cream to the Blue
Valley creamery in st. Joseph during
the years following the organization
of the Blue Valley Creamery Co. in
1900.
Other creamery men saw the de-
vlopment Blue Valley had started
and tried to follow the Blue Valley
pioneer trail. They finally did away
with their whole milk creameries and
skimming stations, so expensive to
their patrons, and began buying
cream instead of milk. Gradually ::
number of other hand serar:
creameries were established at various
points in that part of the country.
From the very beginn ,ng the
Blue Valley creamery at St.
Joseph dealt direct with each one
of it's patrons, and they dealt
direct with US. Those within hauling
distance of st. Joseph brought Their
own cream in buggies, or with loads
of other produce that they took to
town. But dairying was just small
side-issue with most of the farmers
there, as their land and climate were
and are well adapted for corn, wheat,
hogs and beef, and prices on these
