Car Of Grade Dairy Cattle
Earl Moore Has Greatly Improved
Herds of Western Stearns County

Earl Mooreof Metre Grove, Mimi,

another car load of dairy cows, con-
sisting of twenty-eight head, includ-
ing twenty Holstein cows, two Guern-
sey cows, two Brown Swiss COWS, two
pure bred Holstein bulls and two
pure bred Guernsey bulls. These
cattle which cost an average of $85 a
head were purchased through the
Barron County Holstein Breeders as
ISOLATION with Fred J. Krahenbuhl
assisting the buyer.
This makes seven carloads that Mr..
Moore has purchased through the as
ISOLATION since last December. He
states that he is much pleased with
the class of cattle he is able to buy
here, and the service he gets through
the association. He is especially en-
thusiastic in his praise of the way
the business is handled by Mr.. Kra-
henbuhl and the courtesies he re-
ceived from him.-Barron county

Two Stores at Greenwald
Burglarized Last Week
Wearing Apparel Valued at $500 is
Taken From A. Silbernick
NO Clues Found

Robbers visited the general mer-
chandise store of A. Silbernick at
Greenwald Tuesday night of last
week and made away with about
$500 worth of wearing apparel, and
some cash from the till. They also
entered the Kraemer Hardware store
adjoining and took few pocket
knives, number of cheap watches
and chains.
The loot taken from the Silbernick
store consisted of mems shirts, shoes,
rain coats, leather vests, silk hose,
ties, and other articles of merchan-
disc which could be easily carried
away.
The robbery was not noticed until
the next morning when Mr.. Silber-
nick opened the store and saw that
the back door was open and mer-
chandise about the store disturbed.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1925-07-16

Entrance to the store was gained by
breaking rear basement window.
Parties returning to Greenwald
from a dance that night noticed a
car leave from the rear of the store
and drive south, but did not think
anything amiss and the robbers made
their escape unhindered.
1t was later discovered that the
robbers had broken into the oil
station near the depot and taken a
quantity of gasoline and lubricating
oil.
There are no clues as who the rob-
bers might be. The robbery was too
cleverly executed and the selection
of merchandise indicates that it was
not the work of amateurs. A num-
Der of strangers were in town several
days before and it is thought that
they might be implicated.-Melros

Frazee store and operate in connec-
ton with the stores at Sank Centre

Red Hot Sport Program
Arranged for Sunday
Fair Association Completes Arrange.
ments for Unusual Attractions to
be Held at Fair Grounds

The officers of the Stearns County
Fair have arranged for a very unique
sport program at the Fair grounds
Sunday afternoon when a diversified
automotive races will be held. There
are already a large number of entries
and some holly contested races can
be expected.
Charles "Speed" Holman, twice
winner Of the Pulitzer Trophy at St.
Louis for stunt flying, and runner up
in the "On to Dayton" flight, last
season, will be seen in action plotting
his famous Hispana airplane. Mr..
Holman will have a celebrity of no
smaller prominence working with him
than the parsonage of AL Blackstone.
Blackstone has gained an enviable
reputation for himself as wing
walker, parachute dropper, and aerial
acrobat. Mr.. Blackstone is the orig
inator of the standing loop and is al
so the only man that has ever made a
change from racing motor cycle to
an airplane via rope ladder.
The game which is known as the
game too fast for the movies will be
one of the features. The Canadian
Reds and the American Blues will
tangle in the most dynamic, sensa-
tional game available-Auto Polo.
Auto push ball will also be fea-
tured. This game is played with four
especially built automobiles in action
at one time, using a special pneu-
matte ball, six feet in diameter to
play with. At times this ball is
knocked as high as forty feet in the
air by the speeding cars.
In view of the fact that the en-
tries for the automobile races will not
be closed until the day before the
event, many new faces together with
many veterans are to be looked for
However, with such stars as Burkey,
Hodne, Defenbaugh, Bulander and
Fowler, entering fast events are to
be looked for. With such a balanced
program Sank Centre should be the
Mecca for speed fans for many miles
around Sunday, July 10.
