Butter Demand Has Re-
NAMED Stationary
Prices Slightly Higher on Eastern
Markes-Egg Market Advances
Poultry Unsettled

There has been no material
change in butter receipts on the
larger Eastern markets. Reports
from the heavy producing sections
indicate that volume of milk and
butter now being produced is show
ing a slight decrease. Buying de-
mand for butter has been satisfac-
tory with good trading reported.
Price, quotations Chicago and New
York have been fairly well sus-
tained. The supply of fresh but
ter is being augmented with stor-
age stocks and the out-of-storage
movement of butter showing an
increase.
Chicago market on 90 Score
Standards todayis 45 ga cents,
an advance of a quarter cent, COM
pared with last week. New York
90 Score Extras are 40 or an adj
vance of II cent over last week.
Production Of fresh eggs has
been decreasing gradually, with
quality continuing irregular. Out
of-storage movement is showing
some increase, inclination of the
buying trade being to use storage
eggs upon which quality and price
is generally more favorable than
the average current receipts.
Chicago market on Firsts today
is 81 to 40 cents. New York Firsts
so to 81 cents. s,e.o:,
Il is noticeable that while there
ia, been. some adyance in QUOTA

ing moved at concessions in ac-
cordance with quality.

been much unsettled during the

RAYMOND BROS. CO.
BUY MOTOR INN
Will Transform Property Into
Freight Warehouse, Rails
ing Roof of Building
BUSINESS INCREASING
Property Now Occupied by
Browns Garage Located
on Third Street

Tuesday of this week Raymond
Bros. Motor Transportation Co.,
Morse & Morse, of this city, closed
negotiations for the purchase of
the. Motor Inn On Third Street,
now occupied by Browns garage.
This move was made necessary
by the rapidly increasing freight
transportation business from the
Twin Cities to Sank Centre and
through to Fergus Falls. 1t is per-
haps not generally known but at
the present time eight trucks of
freight from the Twin Cities ar
rive in Sank Centre each evening
about midnight.
Ever since the company started
the truck transportation business
out of this city last January they
have used the Parker potato ware
house south of the Great Northern
tracks for distributing point for
freight in this city. The Increased
business made the Parker property
entirely too small. For some time
they have been looking over the
city for a suitable location.
The Motor Inn should be admir-
ably adapted for their purpose as
the property faces eighty-five feet
on Third street and a like distance
on Oak street. The building will
be thoroughly remodeled, the main
Improvement to be. the raising of
the roof sufficiently to permit the
large busses to get into the build
ing. The new owners will take
possession about December 1. =
= Raymond Bros, are now oper-
ating 81 complete truck transpor-
tation units. Several units have
been added during the past year
and several more will be necessary
in the near future if the business
increase keeps up as is anticipated.
The company has purchased an
other very large snow plow which
will be used on Trunk Highway No.
8 between ST. Cloud and Sank
Centre and east of St. Cloud.
The Motor Inn was erected
about 10 years ago., It has had a
hectic experience under various
ownerships, always operated at a
loss until taken over by Fred
Brown in June of 1925.
Mr.. Brown stated to the Herald
editor Wednesday that he was en-
tirely at sea as to his future move
ments. He is most desirable cit
izen, a splendid mechanic and it is
to be hoped that he can make ar
rangements to continue to make
this city his home. =

CAMP or HOOVER
MOVING WESTWARD
Headquarters and Lieuten-
ants are Accompanying
Candidates
To SPEAK AT ST. LOUIS
Final Radio Talk Will be Made
From Palo Alto Home Mon
day Evening

Washington, Oct. 31.-Another
oddity will take its place in this
campaign of oddities late this week
when the republican high command
directs the party's vast field forces
from general headquarters on a
swiftly moving special train carry
ing Herbert Hoover to his Califor-
ria home.
Stree the day of his nomination,
the republican candiaate has had
personal charge of tas rcndact2 of
h.+ fight for the presidency, ald so
twill be until the last shot has
been fred and the army of voters
begins to march upon the polling
places.
When Hoover turns westward
again tomorrow he viii be sur
rounded by most of the advisers
who have been almost constantly
at his side in this greatest battle
of his career. There will be his
personal assistant, George Aker-
son, DIR. Hubert Work, chairman,
and Ralph Williams, of Oregon,
vice-ehairman of the republican na-
tional committee; George Barr Ba-
ker of New York; Harry Robinson
of Los Angeles, and TT. G. Greg
ory, of San Francisco
As his opponent is concluding a
spectacular appeal for the votes, of
normally republican strongholds in
the east, Hoover will be kept adj
vised of events az they take place
and after comforting with his ad-
visers will send forth orders for
moves intended to counteract the
democratic activities.
The republican standard bearer
also will be firing some solid shot
himself. He win deliver a major
speech at St. LOUIS Friday night,
and also will speak at noon that
day and on Thur sday and Satur-
day nights. His range will cover a
field from Maryland to Colorado
while his democratic opponent is
active in and around New York
city. -" s:sssssSSl = 3sy- Ssyss
Aside from these principal
speeches, Hoover will make nearly
a dozen brief rear platform talks
and for the first time during this
campaign his private car will be
equipped with loudspeaker and mi
crophone. Heretofore at stops
where speeches were to be made
the local COMMITTEES furnishd their
own loudspeakers and microphones.
As was the case during his last
trans-continental trip, Hoover will
use two different private cars. He
will ride to st. Louis in one fur
nished by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, but while he is speaking
in the Missouri city this car will
be detached and replaced by the
private car "Sunset' of the South
erns Pacific Railroad. The loud
speaker will be transferred from
one car to the other along with the
baggage of the candidate and his
immediate personal party.
Besides his political advisers,
Hoover will be accompanied by
Mrs. Hoover and their son Allan as
well as Lewis Straus, of New York,
secretary to the presidential can
didate during the World War per-
iOd.
There will be corps Of more
than 80 newspaper correspondents
and news photographers, the larg-
est group that has accompanied the
candidate on his trans-continental
journeys of which this is the third
Since he was chosen to carry the
standard for the republican party.

$4,000 Worth Of Liquor
Captured by Government
Officers Pick Up Suspicious Look
ing Truck on Pavement Near
Albany Tuesday

SudI SCS VI conspiracy Will ut
placed against Joseph Probst, Mi
not, N. D., and Russell Ahren, st.
Paul, by federal prohibition Of
ficers following the confscation of
500 gallons of 1873 proof alcohol
and a late model Ford truck near
Albany on the pavement Tuesday.
The loot was brought to st.
Cloud where the officers began en-
plying it into the Mississippi river
near the police station. When
about 800 gallons of pure alcohol
had been dumped on the river
bank, spectator lit a match and
his glove caught fire. Jerking the
glove from his hand the man tossed
it toward the pool of alcohol and it
ignited.
Three hundred gallons of alco-
hol blazei merrilly, resembling the
recent oil fire here and threatening
an automobile owned by John Mad
igan, local policeman, as we'll as
another car being held by the po-
lice. Later the flames whipped
toward the city garage but they
were quickly brought under con-
troll by the fire department after
considerable hose had been laid.
The remaining 200 gallons were
left on the truck and were taken
from the city to be destroyed.
Joe Albers, federal prohibition
chief, and two of his squad were
driving northward near Albany
Tuesday morning when they came
across the truck. Albers immediate
ly recognized the driver, Ahren, as
Ia liquor runner, he asserts, and
they stopped the vehicle. A test
showed the entire cargo to be al
cohol. Ahren, truck driver, and
Probst, his companion, were placed
under arrest and the truck and
cargo were seized. The men were
placed in the Stearns county jail
pending their arraignment in u.
S. court.
The cargo of 500 gallons of al
cohol is said to be the largest haul
ever made in Stearns county. The
liquors value is estimated at more
than $4,000 in North Dakota, pre-
sumably the destination of the
truck. At current market prices
it would be valued at about $500
in st. Cloud.
The alky was neatly packed in
cartons, six gallons to a carton
and carefully loaded on the truck
which was equipped with cattle
rack. A tarpaulin was thrown over
the load so as to throw off suspic-
ion.
The prohibition officers were Wis
iting Stearns county on other bus
mess, they state and deny that
they had been clipped off" to the
transportation of the big load.
The alcohol is believed to have
come originally from Milwaukee
and was headed for points in North
Dakota, the enforcement officers
declared. Both men taken with
the load have been under suspic-
ion but the opportunity to halt
them had never turned up before
in this community.
Ahren alleges to be resident
of st. Paul and says that the truck
was his property ara that it was
licensed in his name. A checkup
of the states license records was
to be made this afternoon Ssfc-e
the men are officially charged for
their offense.
