The annual meeting of the Bruno
Cooperative Creamery was held at
the opera house of that place We'd
nesday, Feb. Goth. A free lunch was
served at noon to a large number,
who had braved the storm to attend
At l O'Clock, the meeting was called
to order by the president, f. ]. Roden-
berger, and was Immediately followed
by an interesting discussion by COun-
ty Agent w. F. Hammargren. BY the
aid of chart, Mr.. Hammargren
showed the difference in cost and
return between cows giving 100, 200.
and 300 pounds of butterfat in one
year and stressed the point that the
cost of feeding the COW for the extra
100 or 200 pounds was small in COM
pariSOn to the returns. Mr. Hammar-
gren stated that recent check up
of the COWS and returns in the Bruno
neighborhood showed that the aver
age was around 200 pounds per cow.
Herman R. Berg, secretary of the
Bruno district association, gave very
interesting talk on the Land O'Lakes
Creamery association and produced
figures to show the development of
the various departments.
The old board of officers was re-
elected for the coming year
The question was again brought up
as to the amount of interest to be paid
on the shares of stock in the creamery
and a motion was made to pay per
cent as was planned when the shares
were sold. After considerable dis
cussion, the motion was withdrawn
and another motion made and carried
to fix the interest rate at per cent
AS there are 1853 shares of S25 each,
the amount would be less than $3.50.

In the first place, it is said that
about three-fourths of the Inhabitants
are either French or French-Cana-

noticed too, in the makeup of the po-
lice force. The Irish apparently not

men all appear to be French This is
doubtless as it should be, but one
misses the Irish faces.
Then, too, one hears the French
language spoken everywhere. 1t is
true, however. that some sections seem
to be more distinctly French, or for
eign, than others.

The keenest interest is manifested
in the pre-inaugural dinner given to

former associates in the various relief

was the active head during and sub

sands connected with this work, but
only the real chieftains who were
close to Mr.. Hoover in those days have
been invited to this social function,
the last of which he will be able to
attend as private citizen. The
opinion prevails that many of these

been forgotten during the last ten
years will figure prominently in. the

that most of the excursionists are men

country, and special arrangements
will be made for them to visit places
where such relatives live. 1t is said

MARCH | TO 10 is
MUSKRAT SEASON
Those Who Trap MuskratS are Urged
to Use Care I'm Sealing up
the Houses Again.

For some time past it has been
feared that the little water fur bear
ing animal that lives in the sloughS,
shallow lakes and rivers in cleverly
built houses and commonly called the
Muskrat, would finally reach the stage
of determination. 1t will now be
pleasing to the many sportsmen
throughout the state of Minnesota to
know that the little animals family
has multiplied in numbers to the ex-
tent that, as the following letter from
the Game and Fish commissioner will
show, it is now possible to have a
short open season.:
The Game and Fish Department
has made a survey of the State rela-
tive to the number of muskrats that
are to be found and, afer this survey
was completed, we felt warranted in
having an open season on this ami
NAL.
We sent questionnaires to all of the
wardens in the State, asking the fol-
lowing questions:
Are there as many muskrats in
soui IhCIC "cIc 1doI
year?
Would you suggest an open season
and, if so, in what month and for how
many days?
Fifty per cent of the wardens advo-
Gated an open season, twenty-five per
cent of them advocated that we have
a closed season and about twenty-five
per cent advocated having very lin
tied open season. For the most part
they all recommended the month of
March, from the 1st to the 10th.
Consequently, we have asked for an
Executive Order and, incidentally,
have established a new policy by hav-
ing the season open at IL o'clock noon.
March 1st, and close at IL O'clock
noon, March 10th.
1t is our anticipation that we will
have an open season each year, of a
short duration.
We shall put forth every effort pos
sible to see that the men who trap the
rat houses seal up these houses, in
order that the rats may not freeze out
while using these houses as their
habitat"
Very truly yours,

Commissioner

WINS
EASILY FROM THE
HINCKLEY HIGH

Sandstone's high school basketball
team won easily from the Hinckley
squad in game played on the Sand
stone floor Friday night. The game
started fast and was very closely con-
tested during the first quarter with
Sandstone having an advantage at the
first gun with a score of 9 to 6. but
as the game progressed, the north
erners hit their stride, ending the
half in the lead to the extent of 20
to II. The last half was all Sand
stones, and substitutes were used
frequently.
On March LIST, the Sandstone team
will be pitted against the Mora squad
in their initial tilt in the district
tournament at the Milaca armOry.

year would almost cover this amount
and it is thought it will be easier to
sell shares to others if it is shown
that there will be a premium outside
the benefits of the creamery
At the close of the meeting, finan-
cial statements of the concern were
handed out to those present.
The creamery association firmly be-
-lieves that if the Bruno community
as whole will realize the real worth
of such a manufacturing plant and
boost for it, greater success and ben
efits to those outside as we'll as to
the patrons may be attained. No lit
tie credit is due to Buttermaker Bliss,
who has proved himself both agreeable
and efficient.

He was greatly disturbed, in deadly earnest. His eyes burned in his pale face. "You stumbled into this" said Ihe. You have no real responsibil- Iity. I came to warn you"

 Of an arrest-at any minute. Of whom? Of several people. but of Laxton in particular"
 Why should anyone want to ar rest me? And Laxton, of all peo- pler said.

 "To discover who killed Pell"

 "I seemed destined to meet you only on unpleasant business, MT. Grenofen," he began. The last meeting is all washed out by what's happened since." said I.

O. s ..- .ssf you were in it from the first" looked steadily into Marling's eyes as he spoke, wondering why he had come to me with thi. warning. "
 You'll admit, padre said that on the face of it I'm justified in being skeptical. Why should Laxton or anybody else attacl me about the death of Pell rathe, than any other man who had any: thing to do with Pell?"
 T don't know that it's a good reason; but I know the reason suct as it is, MT. Grenofen. You con cealed a man for two or three days in conditions which suggests that it was the man who killed Pell. You helped him to escape.
 The man we had here was in- troduced to Laxton on Saturday evening = mothers cousin, John Merryweather.
 "Yes, I know, I'm telling vol, the theory said Marling. And I simply want to warn you that they are looking for a certain piece of evidence before they Act. Let us suppose for a minute, for the sake of argument, that you had a man concealed under any pretext and he left behind him any piece of evidence which would enable them to establish his identity-weIl. l needn't go on with the argument. In that hypothetical case. If the ev- idence was not here they could not get hold of it. If you were not here. they wouldn't arrest you"
 Marling's manner as he said this, very deliberately, was astonishing He literally sweated over it. 1 wondered whether Marling was lay ing trap for me, whether Mar ling was easing his own con- science. whether he was fishing for information. I concluded that ne was easing his conscience.
