RELIGION Is NEEDED
MRS MARY STEWART EMPHA.
SIZES THIS POINT IN LONG
PRAIRIE ADDRESS
HOME SCHOOL PROBLEMS
TELLS MEMS FORUM DRASTIC
STEPS ARE NECESSARY TO
STOP CRIME WAVE

The dinner and Mems Forum dis
cussion at the Methodist church
Tuesday evening was largely attend
ed, and those who did, not only par
took of an excellent meal but listen
ed to an entertaining musical pro-
gram, an interesting address an in
structive and impressive talk on the
"Crime Situation and the Work of
the Home School at Sank Centre
by Mrs. Mary Stewart, Superintend-
emit.
The musical program was given
in the church auditorium from 6:15
to GAS and consisted of songs by a
ladies' quartet composed of Miss
Swart, Miss Swanson, Mrs. Sher-
wood and Mrs. Harold Hart; a vo-
cal solo by w. A. Lindquist; vocal
solo by Miss Swart, and trumpet
solo by Arthur Geer. Mrs. Geer pre-
sided at the organ.
Between 14O and $50 sat down to
dinner, which was served by the Aid
Society. Mr.. Geer told briefly of a
trip he had taken to Ireland, dis
cussing the subject because of the
St. Patrick's anniversary. He paid
a fine tribute to the Irish people,
their industry, love of liberty, and
big-hearted neighborliness.
The guest of the evening was
Mrs. Mary Stewart, of the Sank
Centre Home School, and she gave
an interesting address on the gen
eral subject of crime and the work
of the Sank Centre Home School.
This school now has 307 inmates,
with $40 or $50 outside the school
on parole. 1t is one of the largest
institutions of its kind in the coun-
try. Mrs. Stewart said the problem
of the school is to take girls who for
one reason or another have made
serious mistakes and try not only to
educate them but rebuild them to go
out into the world and become home
makers. She said that the largest
number of the girls who came to her
institution came from broken homes.
Usually the parents have been di
vorced, or for other causes the
home has been broken. Many girls
come to the institution with bitter
feelings toward home ideas and
home making because their personal
contact with home life has been
unhappy She gave number of il
Illustrations which gave her audience
a line on the point of view of many

Commissioner Favors Local
Roads in Fund Provisions
Minnesota Spending More on County,
Town and Less on Trunks Than
Average State

Minnesota local road funds, over
which taxpayers have most direct con-
troll, show net increase of more than
half a million dollars this year over
last on official figures this week from
the office of the state auditor. To-
tails for this county were published
some time ago in The Herald.
On the basis of 500 in the aver
age state in the union, mileage con-
sidered, Minnesota will have this
year $116 for local roads and about
ST. for main or trunk highways,
County and township road funds will
be 81, 10000 more than those for the
trunk routes. Figures are based on
new department of agriculture bull
letin, the state auditors abstract and
generous estimates of auto and gas
tax income.
Local road funds over the state
for 1926 total $18,500,00 on the Of
fetal figures. County road and bridge
funds are $4,000 larger than last
year, and a small decrease in town
ship and increase in city-village pro-
visions leave a net increase of nearly
$4,000 over those for 1925. This
is cited by good roads advocates as
evidence that Minnesota people gen.
orally realize the economies afforded
by adequate highways and that they
are opposed to curtailing needed road
work.
Minnesota will maintain nearly T.
900 miles of main or trunk highways;
this year, against less than 1900
miles in the average state as reported
by the government. 1t plans an ex-
ira large total of ITO miles of new
paving, about twice as much as last
year, also $50 miles of other surface
ing and 242 miles of grading, COM
pared with average state projects for
141 miles of paving, 800 of other
surfacing and $50 miles of grading
this year. Minnesota will have lit
tie less than $4,000 mile of funds for
trunk routes, compared with $3,420
in the average state.
w. M. Jardine,' secretary of agri-
culture, says in the department bull
letting that this year will be the great
est of record in highway development
in the United States. State depart
ment funds over the country are
$58, 100000 larger than in 1925 but
those of counties and smaller units
are reduced by about $4,000, 900,
he adds, pointing to the trend toward
placing all important highways under
state departments and improving first
those which serve the largest num-
bers.

Butter Prices During Past
Week Have Been Erratic
Foreign Market Has No Influence On
Butter Values-Movement of
Eggs Conservative

Butter markets, Chicago and New
York, during the past week have been
somewhat erratic and prices have
been gradually working to lower
level. Easier tendencies of these two
markets have been influenced by
generally increasing production at
the prestnt time and particularly so
as compared with the same period
last year.
On account of general easier feel
ing, there has been little speculative
buying on the market during the past
week. Chicago's 90 score Standard
declined from AZ cents at the open
ing to 401a cents at the close, while
New York declined from 49, cents
on 92 score to AZ, a net decrease in
both cases of l y cents per pound =.
Foreign markets have had practic-
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1926-03-25

ally no influence on butter market
values, but declines can be directly
attributed to somewhat slow demand
for current consumption and pros
poets for increasing spring produc-
ton.
General production and volume Of
eggs being marketed continue to in
crease, but there has been fairly ac-
tive buying in the eastern markets to
supply the demand usuaeHy preced-
ing the Jewish and Easter spring
holidays, supplemented somewhat
this week by fairly free buying for
Argentine shipments. Both Chicago
and New York markets have con-
tinued steady and there has been lit
tie change in quotations.
Cihago egg market on Firsts for
last week closed at 261s cents and
27 cents and the New York market
on Firsts closed from % 3-4 cents
to 291a cents. Prices being quoted
for graded stock have influenced buy
ers or investors to be conservative on
buying for storage purposes. AS a
result fewer eggs are in storage as
compared to the same time last year.
as indicated in the following report
of storage holdings, ten largest cities
March 10, 1925-194,909 cases
eggs.
March 10, 1926-111,3 800 cases
eggs.
Shortage $3.50 cases eggs.
On account of the present level OF
prices and prospective storage results
there has been a general disposition
to keep a greatr portion of currnt
production moving into distributing
channels.
The live poultry market for New
York last week, particularly fol-
fowls, has been firm, resulting in adj
vance of quotations of approximate
lily 2 cents.
The movement of live poultry gen.
orally throughout the producing sec.
tons has been light, but indications
are for somewhat heavier receipts
this week, which should be ample to
supply the demand and may result in
affecting the total market with slight
ly lower values.-Produce Review

of these girls. The work of the
school has to do chiefly with teach
ing and training these girls to be
homemakers and Mrs. Stewart said
that in the large majority of cases
the school succeeded. However,
there were often failures, but the re-
suits accomplished We're a source of
much satisfaction to those familiar
with the situation.
She said that we are hearing a
good deal these days about the So
called "crime wave," but pointed out
that We have always had a crime
wave. Today it appears merely in
different form. She said the auto
mobile was responsible for this and,
while she did not condemn the auto
mobile as an institution, she said it
was highly necessary for people to
our social life which the automobile
has brought about. Easy and ra-
,pid modes of travel have brought
marked changes in American fami-
ly life. 1t is not unusual to drive
fifteen or twenty miles to dances or
social gatherings. The whole fami-
ly nowadays is on the road more or
less and because travel is easy and
entertainment of all kinds numer-
Gus, there is constant urge to go
and go. All this has brought about
new social conditions and we must
adjust ourselves to them. Mrs. Stew
art. said that her experience as the
head of a correctional institution
had brought her unreservedly to the
opinion that at least one of the real
remedies for the present-day situa-
ton with it's tendencies is a return
to the discipline of the old-fashioned
orthodox religion. The spirit of this
stera religion must permeate the
home and influence not only the chill
dren but the parents, she said.
Mrs. Stewart proved herself to he
most impressive speaker and her
audience gave her rising vote of
thanks upon the conclusion of her
address.-Long Prairie Leader.

WISE ROYALTY

On King Georges 61st birthday Canadian news
paper, acknowledging the firm hold that sovereign has
upon the people of the British Empire explained il
thus:
while other thrones have tottered and fall
in the revolution against autoeracy, the Brit
ish throne remains the symbol of strengthened
democracy. For the sympathies OF the King are
always with the people. His tactiul act and
timely word directed to the overcoming Of dis
cords and difficulties within the Empire. which
he knows well reach TO the the street,
not because he Is King, but because his appeal Is
in behalf of his people.
Democratic government and democratic
laws have reached farther in Great Britain since
George became sovereign than IN any other
country. True, he is not the government, and
does make the laws. but his blessing is
them all, so long they represent the wishes
and contribute to the welfare Of the great
of the population. As King he recognizes the
sovereignty of his subjects There can be no
quarrel between the people and such King.
Here is picture OF royal wisdom. 1t isn't the first
time in history that king has cast his lot with the
of his countrymen rather than with subjects Of
title and wealth. But such policy is shrewder today
than before because the people have the
power to rule, and are determined TO it.
SO we have the odd spectacle Of real democracy
regning in the name of a king. Could our ancestors
have imagined that in 1776?

THE FARM WOHAN'S FEiTS

It has always been recognized that farm women
performed prodges Of labor but the full story has
been told Here IS part Of IT, revealed By the
Western States Extension Conference.
The average rural housewife spends 50 days
year carrying water pumping and oting 20 tons OF It
into the house and then totlng I out again.
She washes and dries three acres Of dishes year.
She bakes countless pies, often walking quarter
of mile per pie.
She could save 10 days time year Just by INSTALL
ing drain to carry out the waste water and the other
20 days by having pump or faucet at her sink.
She could drying those three acres of dishes
by using dish draner, even if she couldn't afford
dish washer.
She could save Il miles of walking a day as
Montana woman did-provng it by pedometer-and
also hour and half of time by grouping her
things more conveniently and taking short cuts.
