~~Ass OFSss1ASAS
Fully 1000 people gathered at
the Sank Centre Community Park
Wednesday to enjoy the picnic
celebrating the 25th anniversary of
the organization of Sank Lake
Creamery Association
The weather was trifle dis
couraging in the morning but be-
fore noon autos loaded with men,
women and children began to pour
into the city from all directions.
Promptly at 1870 President
Oscar Lying of the Association
called the gathering to order. He
expressed the Associations appre-
citation for the cooperation given
by the Sank Centre Community
Club and business men. He first
introduced James F. Coyle, the
first president of the Association.
Mr.. Coyle reviewed the difficulties
encountered when an attempt was
made to organize. Mr.. Coyle said
that while he had not been a
farmer for several years he was
keenly interested in the success of
the organization and congratulate
ed the farmers upon the splendid
success they had made. Alex
Dryden, the first vice president,
took up the report where Mr..
Coyle left off. The remarks Of
both gentlemen were of decided in
terest.
President Lying then asked five
of the first directors of the Associa-
ton present at the picnic to stand
up.
A. J. Mcclure, general manager
of the Land O'Lakes, Inc, COM
plimented Sank Lake Association
upon the splendid success they
had made of their organization. He
prophesied that the real solution
of the farm problem was by full
cooperative handling of the pro-
ducts of the farm, rather than by
congregressional enactment.
The splendid success of Land
OIakes which in a few years has
built up an annual business in ex-
cess of s440,0OO,00O bears out
every contention made by Mr.. Nc
CURE.
Governor Theodore Christensen
was the next speaker. The Herald
hasn't the space to discuss the
Governors address at any great
length. Mr.. Christianson knows
his state and it's needs. He ex-
planned his program to reduce the
states expenses. Referring to the
problem Of the farmer he said that
no one condition was responsible
for the defation of farm condi-
tons. BY the same token he said
that no single piece of legislation
would solve the problem.
The Sank Centre business men
had hung up a number of valuable
prizes to be competed for by the
men, women and children living
on the farm. The following is a
