President J. B. Schoenhoff presid
ed over the deliberations. He frs
called upon Howard Bishop, chair
man of the Boys and Girls Cal
Club committee for a report of tn,
young peoples activities during tn
year. The committee traced the worl
of the Club since it's organization
from its inception last fall down t,
the present time. The story of tn,
work accomplished can be best told
perhaps by Mr.. Minette's repor
which is published herewith:
Sank Centre, MINI. Nov. 10, '26
To Members of the Stearns
County Agricultural Society.
Gentlemen:
In order to properly explain
Club work to the boys and girls
and their parents, I visited
various rural schools and clubs
and attended their functions;
there explaining all phases of
the work and answering cues
tons that they were interest
ed in.
I started this organization
work in November 1925 and
continued to March 1, 1926.
at which time I commenced nv
active duties as Club leader.
At that time there were % boys
and girls actively engaged in
the club work, and 20 more
were enrolled, making "a total of
AZ.
During the first six months
seven personal visits were made
to each of the AZ club members;
I'm some instances it was neces-
sary for me to make extra visits
to certain individuals who had
problems to solve.
In the All Club, members
were engaged in the following
classes: Dairy Calf, which in
cludes three year period to
complete; Fat Hog, Fat Lamb,
Baby Beef, Ton Litter, Poul-
try, all of which cover only one
- season.
Members active in the Ali
Club were enrolled from Sank
Centre, Padua, Belgrade, St.
Cloud, Paynesville and Hold
ingford.
The results of the clubs work
began to show up when the
Club held the Dairy Calf Show
in Sank Centre the latter part
of August, at which time five
winners were picked to attend
the State Fair. This show was
financed by the business men of
Sank Centre.
Members of this Club with all
departments represented exhib-
tied at the Stearns County fair,
and art that showing four trips
were awarded members of the
club to attend the Junior Live
stock Show which was held in
st. Paul November 8, 10, IL.
In making visits to the various
places on club work I have trav-
eled approximately 1,200 miles

LARGE LIVESTOCK SHIPMENT

Tuesday of this week Herman Ha-
ger manager of the Farmers Ship
ping Association of Sank Centre
shipped five car loads of live stock
from this point to the SouNh st. Paul
market. This is a very heavy con-
signment for this season and indi-
Gates that the live stock industry in
this section is on the increase.

SLOW SIGNING UP

The membership campaign being
waged by the officers of the Robert

Livestock Show l received
$25. 90, with expenses totaling

which l paid personally.
This concludes my report of
the Club of which I have been
laeder, and l respectfully ask
that the report be accepted.
Yours very truly,
Geo. F. Minette,
County Club Leader
Mr.. Minette was not present at the
meeting and in the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Bishop paid him a splen-
did tribute for the fine work he had
done among the young people of this
section at great personal sacrifice
of time and money.
To slightly recompense George fol-
the funds he was actually out OF
pocket in carrying on this education
al work the Fair Association voted
him $4,000
A special vote of thanks was ten.
dered Sigurd Holme, Herman Ven
newitz, George Berggreen, Mrs
Minnie Mullen, Howard Bishop, Be-
Otte, Henry Sauer, Charles Virgin
County Supt. Boerger, Charles Bruce
and others who had freely given Oh
their time and cars to promote the
1926 Fair.
The citizens of Melrose, Freeport
Albany, and New Munich were also
extended special thanks for their un-
selfish efforts in taking over and sue
cessfully handling several sections OF
the Historical Pageant.
Register of Deeds John Lang OF
St. Cloud was present and was call
ed on by President Schoenhoff. Mr.
Lang said he was very proud, in.
deed, to receive his dividend check
last week. The amount involved in
the check was inconsequential, but
the report had been spread about ST
Cloud, he said, that the Stearrs coun-
ty fair had lost not less than $4,000
on the 1926 show. The report Of a
net earning for 1926 of about 500
was very gratifying to him personally
and was conclusive evidence that
the Association had been Differed by
competent and Woodworking citizens
Of course County Superintendln nj
Boerger was present. He explained
that the spelling contest for next year
would be changed somewhat in that
the township and county champions
next year will be selected by written
e ,aminations, rather than in oral con-
tests as previously. Two pupils vino
have attended school not less than SO
days will represent each school at the
township contests to be held April g.
1927, at places to be agreed upon by
the teachers. Only bona fide pupils
of Stearns county schools will be eli.
gible.
Mr.. Boerger stated that when the
contest was in actual force at the
county fair slips will be passed among
the grown-ups in the grand stand sc
they may try their hand at spellip
with the younger generation.
The Rural School exhibit at thu
1927 fair will be somewhat different
than in former years as it will be
devoted to health rather than AGA.

SENATE ATTACK
UPON MELONS,
COMP ANY OPENS
tBy Dispatch A. P w,res


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--A double
barreled attack on the Aluminium
Company of America, in which Sec
retary Mellon is a large stockholder
was launched today in congress.
The assault in the senate was di-
rected primarily at the failure of
the attorney general to bring con-
tempt proceedings against the COM
pany for alleged violation of feder,
al court DEGREES and the action Of
the federal trade commission in
Withholding important evidence from
the department of justice.
In the house the attack covered
broader range, Representative. Old
field, democrat. Arkansas, proposing
a general Investigation with spe.
cial view to ascertaining whether the
Aluminium company is monopoly
and if so whether tariffs on crude
and partially finished aluminium have
contributed to the creation of such
a monopoly.
The two senate resolutions We're
offered by Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Montana, who asked immediate
consideration for them. On objection
vania, they went over until tomorrow.
The Oldfield resolution was re-
ferred to the house ways and means
committee, which under it's terms
would conduct the broad inquiry the
chairman of the democratic congress
sional campaign seeks to have made.
The first of the Walsh resolutions
would direct the senate judiciary
committee to inquire whether due
expedition has been observed by the
department of justice in the prose-
cution of the inquiry SO initiated on
the direction of Former Attorney
General Stone, or which he reported
would be initiated
The second would direct Attorney
General Sargent to advise the SEN
ate whether the refusal of the trade
commission to turn over evidence OBJ
tanned from the Aluminium company
of America was well founded in law
and if not, what steps had been TAX
en- by the department to obtain this
evidence.

Work on Pinery Road
Continuing Steadily

Despite the heavy rains of the
past week. work on the Pinery Can
yon road is progressing rapidly and
satisfactorily according to H. c. Kis-
sam, superintendent in charge, who
was in this city Tuesday.
There are now about 20 men at
work on the roadway and they
are busy clearing the ground for
the actual construction work. Opera
tions just now are being held up
slightly due to the delay in the
arrival of a car of powder for
blasting purposes.
Kissam informed chamber of COM
merce representatives here that the
next bids for supplies for his con-
struction work would be let with
Douglas businessmen, as this city
offers a variety of goods which the
smaller cities of the valley do not
carry.
The working force on the road is
expected to be increased steadily
throughout the coming months.

Uni0ue speech


Along these lines Scotty Montieth,
former manager of Johnny Dundee,
who is now handling Kid Kaplan,
told me an interesting yarn.
Scotty once had in his stable a
prelim fighter by the name of Sam
my Marino. He was known as the
original sphinx. Either native dumb
ness or a natural disinclination to
talk caused the fight fans to wonder
if he was both deaf and dumb.
Whenever he was at the ringside
the fans, purely as a joke, would
demand that he be introduced and
then they would clamor for speech
as he was dragged into the ring.
Marino would always back away
without even SO much as smile or
a wave of the hand. But the fans
were insistent, hoping some day he
would break the silence and give
them a real laugh.
1t so happened that one evening
he gave the fans the shock of their
life. Instead of backing through the
ropes to the floor, he removed his
cap, lifted his hand for silence,
! cleared his throat and spoke thusly:
Ladies and peepul! 1 fight any
body my heavy, winner take 'em

Billy Evans. Says


often one snappy remark will get
an umpire out of what otherwise
might be a very unpleasant situa-
ton.
1t is customary for every umpire
to have his jinx ball club. The
Athletics have always been hoo
doc team for Emn4e;t Armsby. When
he has any trouble it is invariably
with the AS.
During the slump of the Athletics
last summer, which put them out of
the pennant running, a ruling on
interference by Ormsby in a certain
game snuffed out an Athletic rally.
At the time the AS had lost 10
straight and any alibi was to be
grabbed at. There was the usual
kick and the continued shouts from
the bench: well, you lost that one
for us.''
After listening to it for an inning,
Ormsby quietly walked to the bench
and remarked:
"You can blame that one one me
when you get back to Philadelphia
but, you are going to have a tough
time explaining the other TO-"
The retOrt courteous hit tender
spot and bad the desired effect-si-
Ience. The. Athletics may have
thought lot OF things about Orms-
by but didn't express them.

Choice Renartee

Baseball is filled with choice bits
of repartee. Some of it, however,
wouldn't make hit in. our best
family newspapers.
Sports which have more than two
or four players as contenders offer
greater opportunities for the express
sion of one's feelings. That is why
wise-cracks fly thickest in baseball
and football, rather than golf box
ing or tennis.
Each sport has some particular
feature which is typical of that
amusement. For years in boxing the
introducing of anywhere from 10 to
20 fighters was the custom before
starting the main bout.
