Creamery Statement
Errors Are Rectifed
Herald Assumes Responsibility for
Mistakes Resulting in Getting
Table in Type Hurriedly

In the rush of getting the de-
tailed statement of the Sank Lake
Creamery into type for last weeks
Herald following the annual meet
ing of Wednesday two or three
ridiculous mistakes occurred for
which Secretary George Strauss is
in no way responsible. The aver
age monthly price of No. 2 butter
fat was published at 1924, when it
should have read 501a cents per
pound. The figures .234 indicated
the cost of manufacture per pound.
The total price received for the
631,5 1868 pounds of butter manu-
featured should have read $284,-
937.95, instead of ,$383, 03795, as
published. Accounts receivable
were published as $256.47, when
the right figures were $2,566.47.
The Herald assumes all response
bility for the errors, and the cor
rections are cheerfuHy made.
At a meeting of the Board of
Directors held Monday morning the
old officers were reelected, as
follows: O. J. Lying, president; F..
J. Minette, vice president; George
Strauss, secretary; Charles Kor-
tan, treasurer. O. J. Lying and
George Strauss were named as the
active managers of the business.

The lodge to which Star in the

Sensational Mystery Play Now
Enjoying Privileged Run
on Broadway, N. Y.

Friday and Saturday evenings
of this week, the Caughren Thea
tire, one of the most pretentions
home talent dramatic offerings
ever in Sank Centre will be pre-
sented under the auspices of Rob-
ert Swift Post, American Legion,
The vehicle selected is "Not
Herbert" a mystery comedy drama
now showing at the Fifty-Second
Street Theatre, New. York City.
The entertainment is being di-
rected by Attorney George Bar
nard. A cast of unusual ability
has been assembled. Special seem
cry and lighting effects will make
the production of metropolitan cal
ibre.
The story opens in the palatial
home of Stephen Allen, at Gray
son, a suburb of New York. AL
den is the president of the rich and
powerful Merchants Bank ank
Trust Company. His daughter,
Cynthia, is engaged to a clever
young man named Tracy Sutton.
Her girl friend, Ruth Webster, who
is visiting her is considerably in
terested in Cynthia's brother Her
bert, who is a very modest, retir-
ing young chap. Herbert appears
to be a good deal of a poet, loves
butterflies and flowers, is afraid of
the dark, and generally gives the
impression that he is pretty much
of what one might call a "sap."
He has a bad habit of not listen
ing to when spoken to, and thereby
caused considerable embarrassment
to those who try to carry on a con-
versation with him. 49,
1t appears that a mysterious
crook known as "The CorDoraP'
has been penetrating a number of
thefts in the neighborhood, and
he is suspected of the robbery of
Mrs. Randolph's home, on the eve
ming before the play opens, getting
quantity of her jewelry, but
overlooking her emerald necklace.
Fanshaw, the detective who in
vestigates the case, interviews the
Aldens, in an effort to get informa-
ton, and this interview is g. nuine-
ly amusing.
At the close of the first act, the
startling disclosure is made that the
crook known as the corr oral is
none other than the shrinking vio-
let Herbert. Herbert determines
to get Mrs. Randolph's emerald
necklace, which he successfully &C.
complishes.
The next disclosure is that Her.
bert maintains a secret rendezvous
in New York for his accomplices,
and the next act takes place there.
Ruth Webster accidentally learns
where this place is, and she comes
there to warn Herbert of danger
from "The Corporal" who she be-
ieves to be Tracy Sutton. While
there she discovers that "The Cor
poral" is none other than Herbert
himself. But, by putting her
knowledge of Tracy Sutton with
Herbert's, they learn that Tracy is
also a desperate criminal known
as Tony Slade, the Lizard. Her
bert plots the downfall Of Tracy
OR Tony to save his sister from
marrying him, by planning the
robbery of Mrs. Blaine's diamond
necklace with Tony, without let
ting his own identity be disclosed
to Tony.
The robbery takes place in "a
startling manner, and the play
moves to thrilling climax, and

Use Of Gas Per Car In State
Shows Material Increase
Average Automobile Owner Makes
Greater Use of Highways,
Figures Indicate

Shipments of gasoline into Min
nesota in 1927 were 289, 686,418
gallons, according to reports made
by the State Oil Inspector. The
gross gasoline tax was $5,510,257
and the refunds were $335,377,
leaving a net gas tax levy of So
174,879.
The gasoline shipments are
eight per cent higher than the ship
ments into the state in 1926. Mo-
tor vehicle registration for the
year increased 2. 6 per cent. These
figures bear out the contention Of
C.. M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, that traffic is in
creasing more rapidly than motor
vehicle registration.
Comparison of automobile reg
istration and gasoline receipts for
a longer period Of years confirm
this statement. In 1921 there
were 332,652 cars registered and
gasoline receipts were 139, 1877 900
gallons. In 1927 the registration
was 652,263 cars and gasoline re-
ceipts were 289, 686,418 gallons.
The number of gallons per car
was 394 in 1921 and 419 in 1927,
deduction being made for the
amount certified as used for indus
trial purposes in 1927 and pro-

289,86,418 gallons of gasoline
shipped into Minnesota in 1927,
on which there was paid in tax the
gross amount OF So,51G,257, of

The net amount of the tax,

The 1926 tax collected totalled

Based on the excise tax figures

Increasing Butter Receipts
Depress Market in Chicago
Poultry Slightly Higher-Egg Pro-
duction Growing and Prices
Quite Satisfactory

A review of the butter markets
during the week just passed shows
the general tendency of the mar
kets toward lower values. AS a re-
suit of increasing supply, butter
receipts on the four principal mar
kets: Chicago, Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, for this week,
Monday to Friday inclusive was
1873, 532 sixty-pound tubs as COM
pared with same days last week
130,883 sixty-pound tubs. Reports
on condition in the Central West
show generally fair weather and
production is increasing from week
to week. It is only natural to as
sumo that quoted markets and sell
ling prices will adjust themselves
to the production available.
Today being a holiday (Linc-
ofn's Birthday there is no regu-
lar market quotation. The closing

cents at the opening of the week.
Egg production in the Central
West and the receipts of eggs on
the Eastern markets is increasing
rapidly, and with the heavier sup
ply, the markets are working down
to a basis which will stimulate
buying demand for current con-
sumption sufficient to take care of
the. increased receipts. Trading has
been fairly satisfactory.
Chicago quotations on eggs

clined two cents a dozen.
The volume of live poultry be-
ing marketed and especially, the
receipts on the Easetrn markets
during the week just past showed
slight increase over last. The
general feeling apparently was
that this stock available was liberal
compared with the actual buying
demand. Quotations at Chicago
have advanced slightly as result
of light supply and New York
where receipts were heavier, the
tendency has been dawned.
There has been some, accumul-

Abraham Lincoln Was Good
Pioneer Roads Advocate
Opening Highway Benefits Poorest
Countries, He Said in Early
Political Speech

Abraham Lincoln, emancipatoi
and preserver Of the Union, alsa
had an interest in many other mat
tiers pertaining to the public vel
fare. He knew the value of good
roads and other avenues of COM
rnunication In a growing country
and his speeches reveal a thorough
understanding of the whole sub
ject Of internal improvements.
In one of his first public ad-
dresses, at the age Of %, when Lin
coin was a candidate for the gen
eral assembly from Sangamon
county, he said: 'Time and exper-
fence have verified to demonstra-
ton the public utility of internal
improvements. That the poorest
and most thinly populated coun-
tries would be greatly benefited by
the opening of good roads, and in
the clearing of navigable streams
within their limits, is what no per-
SON will deny"
In an address in Congress in
1848, Mr.. Lincoln defended pro-
posed appropriations for internal
improvements, and ably answered
the arguments of President Polk,
who had vetoed an internal i'm
provement bill. The President
had said that the benefits would be
local. Lincoln answered that i'm
provements generally benefit all
the people, but if they were not to
be made unless they benefit all
alike, it would put an end to i'm
provements altogether. 81 hope and
believe that if both the nation and
the states would, in good faith, in
their respective spheres do what
they could in the way Of improve
ments, what Of Inequality might be
produced in one place might be
