IMPRESSIONS OF THE
INAUGURATION.
(6y Mildred Sheiiey@

With the arrival of Inauguration
Day on Monday, the 4th. came the
realization to everyone that the day
would be true to forecast, that is,
there would be rain, which is almost
the invariable unwelcome element, or
sign of perverse Fates, prevailing on
this day of days.
From our places on the roof of the
Capitol which we attained after a
period of plodding and edging thru
the corridor leading to the elevator,
with a good-natured crowd of many
hundreds of other persons, we final
ly gained our viewing point, and this
was all that could be desired. 1t re-
manned clear until about time for the
first of the ceremonies to commence.
The distance from the roof of the
Capitol (Which is considerably below

mitted splendid view of all below

Plaza were the platforms on either
side of the wings and surrounding
the very wide entrance of steps to the
front of the Capitol itself.
Bands played internationally, tho
not always the lively airs that most
people prefer, as to some people this
was perhaps an occasion of great
solemnity. The display of our beau
tiful flag in the decorations, and the
uniforms of the men of all branches
of the army and navy, was evidence
beyond all doubt that the pride o.
all Americans to participate in thil
great assemblage, and demonstration
of loyalty to the man, Herbert Hoo

Draw District Court Jurors
For Read Appeal Suit
Ancient Order of Stearns County
Commission, Passed so Years
Ago, Is Again Invoked.

A jury was drawn Thursday af-
ternoon for the trial of a road va
cation order appeal, road order
ed some fifty years ago through
st. Joseph and Collegeville to Wa
tab lake by the then county board,
but never built, having been vacat-
ed by the present county board,
being on in court.
The road was almost forgotten
when a demand was made that it
be constructed pursuant to the
county board order of fifty years
ago, but the present county board
voted to vacate the road in Sec
tions where it was not construct
ed.
The case was taken to the dis
trict court once before and the ac-
ton of the county board in vacat-
ing certain stretches of the road
was upheld, but new appeal was
brought against the vacation order
on new grounds and the case is
being tried once more.
Some difficulty arose in the
meantime because of an alleged
attempt on the part of someone,
identity unknown, to remove a
barrier that was erected after the
road was ordered vacated by the
county board. One man was ar
rested, but it was not proved that
he had anything to do with the

Sailors" Selling Persian
Rugs for Very Long Price
People in Minnesota Towns are
Paying Slippery Strangers
$500 for $50 Value

A warning to be on the lookout
for a group posing as sailors bound
back to the sea with a stock of
Persian prayer rugs" and "im-
ported fur coats" for sale has been
issued by the state bureau of GRIM
inal apprehension.
The warning came as a result of
reports that the erstwhile "sail-
ors" have been doing land of
fee business in state communities
by confidential negotiations. They
ply their trade by representing the
rugs to be novelties obtained in the
orient and the fur coats importa-
tions from Russia.
Their racket" is an old one
according to police, and one that
must be coped with at least once
a year. Five of the group were
arrested in Itasca county and or
dered to leave the state.
An investigation, the state bur-
eau revealed, showed that the fur
coats bought in New York city for
$40 each, are sold for prices as
high as $500. They are represent
ed as seal skin. but are in reality
made of dyed rabbit The prayer
rugs from far of Persia, which are
offered for $40 are purchased in
Cincinnati for $3.50 apiece.

The community was shocked by
the announcement of the death of

miles south of Sauk Centre, Tues

The deceased was born at Inde-
pendence, Iowa, June 26, 1891. Mrs.

Light, Pomer, Water
Payment Date Change
Settlement Must Be Made by 25th
of Month to Save Meter
Rental

In order to facilitate the work
of the secretarys office, the Water,
Light & Power Commission, at its
June meeting, passed rules chang
ing the discount date on light and
water bills.
Heretofore, if light bills were
paid on or before the last day of
the month following that for which
they were rendered, the meter
rental would be deducted. A full
calendar month was allowed. The
new rule requires customers to
pay on or before the 25th of the
month if they are to secure the
discount. For example, in the fu-
ture the June bill must be paid on
or before the 25th day of july: the
July bill on or before the 25th of
August, etc. So with water bills,
which under the new rules will be
payable on or before the 25th of
July, October, January and April.
The main reason for passing
these rules is that under the old
system, the work in the Secre-
tarys office all came at once. While
getting out the new bills, people
were still paying their old ones.
The new system will give an op-
portunity to make up the new bills
without interruption.
No hardship will be worked by
the change, for nearly all of the
surrounding towns allow but Is or
20 days, whereas the Commission
will allow 25.

zoo Piece Boys Band at
Minnesota State Fair
Names of Five Sauk Centre Lads
Have Been Sent BY
Director Hanson

One of the big features of the
Minnesota State Fair to be held at
Hamline Aug. 81 to Sept. 7, will be
a 200-piece Boys band recruited
from high school musical organi-
cations and juvenile bands of rur-
al Minnesota.
The organization will be known
as the Minnesota State High School
band to be conducted by j. w.
Wainwright, nationally known as
director of the Fostoria, Ohio,
High School Bard, which has re-
peatedly won state and National
honors. Mr. Wainwright will be
assisted by Albert j. Stephens, of
the McPhail School of Music, Min
neapolis and G. Oliver Riggs, st.
Cloud.
Communities having juvenile or
ganizations have been requested to
send in the names of five players.
The selections will be made after
the list is all assembled.
Director P. w. Hanson, of the
Sauk Centre Boys Band has sent
in a list of five of his most profic-
lent players. A number of really
clever musicians have been devel-
oped by Mr.. Hanson and the Her
aid will be surprised and disap-
pointed if this city is not repre-
|sented in this amalgamated organ
ization.
A complete modern camp is to
be established for the band on the
Fair grounds. This camp will in
clude its own cooks, mess hall,
military officers, etc. Boys who
are fortunate enough to be select
ed to play an instrument in this
band will receive their transporta-
ton from their homes to st. Paul
and return and will be furnished
meals and lodging for fine out
ing period of ten days. It will be
a wonderful educative experience
for the boys and will give each
community of the state an oppor-
tunity to be represented at the
State Fair

Tough hPadua Yoangsfer
Pulls Some Rough Stuff
Assaults Parents, Breaks Windows,
Finally Landing in County Jail
for Observation

Francis Wormsley, a hard boiled
youngster bout Is, son of the vii
lage storekeeper at Padua, was
roped and tied and brought to
Sauk Centre Wednesday evening
by neighbors after he had pretty
much demolished his fathers store,
broken the windows in the village
hall, more or less assaulted and
scratched his father and mother
and generally upset the commun-
ity.
He was still very tough" when
he was landed in the City Jail and
was put in straight jacket for a
time.
1t was reported that he had be-
come mentally unbalanced by in
haling the fumes from gasoline.
DR.. Moynihan was called and after
interviewing the young man scout
ed the gasoline idea and discount
ed the idea that he might be in
sane although possibly slightly be-
low the average youth of his age
mentally.
Juvenile Judge Himsl was COM
with at st. Cloud. He
directed that the youngster be
brought to the county seat and
placed in solitary confinement in
the county Jail for observation.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Steege and Chief
of Police Jos. Miller took the kid
to st. Cloud last evening.
The Herald editor saw the lad
and observed him for a short time.
1t looks like case of sparing the
rod when its use would have done
a world of good.

Vest Union Creamery
Makes Fine Sh0wine
Substantial Gain in Production
Shown During First Months
of 1929 Over 1928.

The semi-annual report of the
West Union Farmers Cooperative
Creamery Association shows an
increase of slightly over twenty
five thousand pounds for the first
six months of the fiscal year over
the same period of time in 1928.
Better feeding and general care
of the dairy herds together with
the fact that number of new
patrons have been added to the list
are credited for this increase.
If the decrease the next six
months will be normal as indica-
tions now appear the creamery
will approach the 100000 pound
mark. This amount in a small
plant, efficiently operated and eco
nomically managed can render re-
turns to it's patrons equal with
those of any larger plant.
The idea that greater volume de-
creases manufacturing holds good
to only certain limits and a plant
of more moderate output will very
often Offset this slight difference
by less depreciation on equipment
and accurate attention to the min
or details of the business in gen.
eral.
All of the butter is being printed
at the plant netting the patrons
considerably more than if packed
in tubs as the creamery receives
one-half cent more for the one
pound package, plus a substantial
saving in favor of shipping the
butter in boxes, instead of tubs.
Prices paid for butterfat since
January 1929 follow: January sec;
February SEC; March SIC; April
sic; May SOC.

Butter Prices Decline
In Chicago In One Week
Egg Quality Keeps Up-Market
Steady-POuItry Demand Good
Bad Fly Conditions

Reports from most producing
sections still indicate very favor
able conditions for production.
Some sections are beginning to re-
port bad fly conditions.
Receipts of butter on the prin-
cipal eastern consuming markets
were heavy. Consumptive demand
has fallen off on account of con-
tinued high temperatures. Street
stocks have increased and a gener-
al under current of uneasiness eX-
listed.
The Chicago butter market to-
day on 80 Score Standards is
quoted at 40A cents which is three
quarters cents less than Monday
week ago. New York market on
90 Score Butter Extras is 411a
cents.
Egg receipts are light. Quality
so far has been very good, al
though we can expect to see the
quality affected to some extent by
the continued hot weather. Egg
market is firm at present level.
The Chicago egg market on
Firsts is 81 to 311a cents which is
half cent higher than last week
New York Egg Firsts are 31A to
S21a cents.
Receipts of live fowl have been
light. The percentage of fowl in
cars arriving is very light. Advice
from all parts of the country indi-
Gates very slow marketing move
ment. Market is firm and at no
time was there enough to go
around.
Receipts of broilers continue to
increase and now are making up
forty per cent of tonnage in cars
arriving. With the increase in per-
centage of heavy fowl, we may ex-
pect to see selling values decline.
Market on dressed fowl is firm
and with light receipts, it is ex-
pected that market will continue
at present satisfactory level.
New York live market today is
quoted as follows: Leghorn fowl
80 cents, heavy weights "a cents
leghorn broilers 20 cents, small 81
cents, mediums 33 cents, heavies

LARGE OIL STATION
CHANGES OWNERS
Joe ArnesOn Purchases Fine
Distributing Plant. Main
and Fifth Streets
CITIES SERVICE GAS
O'Gara Will Continue to Be
Sole Distributor of Ener-
gee Products

A business deal of Importance to
the oil industry of the city was
completed Friday when JOS Arne-
son, one of the veteran Sank Cen
tre dealers in gasoline and oils,
purchased the oil station and resi-
dence, corner Main and Fifth
Street, from George O'Gara.
For years Joe has called upon
the farmers in this territory sup
plying them with gas oils from his
tank wagon. Several years ago in
partnership with Ed Minette he
erected the oil station on corner of
Fourth and Main, and opened the
Main Street Service Station. Mr.
Minette retired after a few months
selling his interests to Ralph Stef-
fes. Arneson &, Steffes operated
the station for time when Mr..
Arneson retired, taking over the
tank business.
In his new station Mr.. Arneson
will handle the product of the Cit
les Service Corporation, one of the
largest producers and distributors
of gasoline and oils in the United
States. He will also distribute
Mobiloil.
Prior to coming to Sauk Centre
eight years ago, Mr.. Arneson was
in the oil business at Elbow Lake.
He will be assisted in serving the
public at the station, which will be
known as the Arneson Service Sta
ton, by his sons, Clarence and
Edward. He will continue to op-
crate his tank line for service to
the farmers.
The home adjacent to the oil sta
tion is now occupied by Dewey
O'Gara and family. In the early
fall Mr.. Arneson expects to take
possession of the residence.
George O'Gara built this mod
ernly equipped filing station about
three years ago and used it as a
branch distributing point for his
oil products. More competent help
was needed at the main station at
the corner of Third and Oak
Street, and Frank O'Gara, who has
had charge of the branch station
Fifth and Main, becomes an active
part of the main organization, as
sociated with his father, George
O'Gara and brothers, Dewey and
Reid.
George O'Gara is one of the very
early pioneer automobile and ga
rage men in the city. With the
entry of the Pure Oil Co. to this
city he became the representative.
The change should prove to be a
good thing for both Mr.. Arneson
and Mr.. O'Gara, and the public
will be given high class service at
both stations.
