MEMBERSHIP DAY AT CHURCH

Twenty adults and Is children
were received into membership Of
Zion Lutheran church Sunday. This
was the second membership day this
year, large number having been re-
ceived since New Years. Zion church
generally has a full house, but at
this time Of the year the building is
much too small for the number of
worshippers. The last few Sundays,
has found many in the hall and quite
congregation outside.
The services on Membership day
were very impressive. Members are
received into Zion church at any
time, but on these days they are pub
licly received, and give the pledge of
faithfulness to God and the church
while they are assured the privilege
to partake of all the blessings which
Christ has given His church on earth.
They receive the hand of Christian
fellowship at the Altar. Holy Com
munion was also administered to 70

At the Guernsey sale held at
Paynesville, under the auspices of
the Stearns County Guernsey Breed
ers on June 5, 80 head of Guern-
seys sold for $2715, for an average
of $90.50. This is a good average
considering that most of the offerings
were young animals, and also the
present dry weather conditions and
shortage of feed. Fourteen head
were purebreds. Two purebred cows
divided honors for highest price at
1852. SO. Highest bull went at
$142.5 so. The two, highest grade
cows went under the auctioneer's

IN RACE TO WIN

A. II. Hendrickson who is a cam
didate for Congressman in this dis
trict, on the Farmer-Labor ticket,
stated to the Herald that he is in the
race to win. He says the reason he
is a candidate is that while there are
other good men out for this office in
both the Republican and Farmer
Labor party, there should be a farmer
in Congress from this district with
70 votes out of every 100 on the,
farms. Minnesota has not a farmer
in either House of Congress and un-
der these conditions it is mockery to
ask for farm relief.
