Bread of Guetersloh Boosted by Bismarck

Guetersloh was q town of some
1900 inhabitants some years ago,
when one day during the maneuvers a
young lieutenant took up his quarters
there. This lieutenant came from
Pomerania, where they also make
black bread Of fine quality, but he
liked the peculiar flavor of the West
phalia article. His name was Bis
marck.
In the year 1870 Bismarck was
again travelling through Guetersloh.
this time as chancellor. King William
was with him, and when the train
stopped the prime minister called out
genially to the crowd that had come
to meet them:
as there anyone who can get Us
some pumpernickel with butter?"

fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian pumpernickel spread
far and wide, cunningly furthered by
the bakers, who now baked for ex-

the purpose of making it look more

me, frOwning Slightly at what to him
was an untidy and rather atrocious

from George Croghan, given me by
him the night l stopped at his place

explanation of England's designs on
the Western country. Such liberality,

them out. The child noticed this az

Utilized Old RESERVOIR

Shortly after the occupation of Jer-
usalem by the British, water was
brought to the city from the reservoir
originally built nearly 1000 years ago
by Pontius PLATE. This reservoir is

few miles south of the pool of Sloan.
The reservoir was repaired and en-
larged, and now has a capacity of s.
100000 gallons.

Central Cooperative
Has Splendid Meeting

More than 700 representatives of
local Northwest livestock shipping as
sociations registered at the seventh
annual stockholders meeting of the
Central Cooperative Association, held
at the Ryan Hotel in st. Paul, Feb,
7 and s. Viewed from all angles,
this meeting was the largest and most
interesting ever held by this farmer
owned livestock selling organization,
which has developed into one of the
important trade factors at the South
st. Paul Union Stockyards.
One of the features of two-day
meeting was a lively banquet the
night of February s, which taxed to
capacity the largest banquet room at
the Ryan hotel. Enthusiasm for the
organization and it's managers was
testified to a score of tunes during
this function.
General Manager ]. S. Montgomery
in his interesting annual report to
the meeting showed that the organi-
cation during 1927 achieved net
earning of $10S,5OO, which, with adj
ditional savings to stockholders from
reduced commissions, made a total
for the year of more than 100000
This great accomplishment was made
on a paid-in capital of only $2S,17O.
Central's business for 1927 showed
an increase over 1926 in percentage
of total receipts at the South st. Paul
Stockyards This was approximately
% per cent. The number of cars
handled was 21,190 for the year 1922
with $4,000 in 1926, but there was a
falling off in shipments received DIT
the South ST. Paul yards OF 15,OOO
cars, due to the decreased shipments
of western cattle and direct buying
of hogs by packers.
Officers reelected at the conclu-
sion of the annual meeting were:
President, c. B. Crandall, Randolph;
first vice president, S. S. Beach, Hut
Crimson; second vice president, A. B.
AmundsOn, Dawson; secretary, H. L.
Halvorsen, Litchfield; and treasurer
R. w. Keller Chokio. ]. S. Mont
gomery will continue as general man
ager for the coming year.
