mence shooting one-half hour earl
ier than the time given. This is
wrong. In order to figure the time
yourself the following is given as
explanation. On September 16 the
sun rise at st. Paul is given as 5:32,
taking one-half hour away leaves
5:22, with the eight minutes added
is $50, the time you may COM

time for closing is eight minutes
after the time given from st. Paul,
which is 6:22, with the eight min
utes added makes $50.
The above time schedule should
be strictly adhered to, as it is also
a Federal law, and prosecutions

Kenneth Robinson Spends
Summer on Great Lakes
Had Interesting Experience Work.
ing As Deck Hand On Large
Packet Freighter

Kenneth Robinson returned Fri
day of last week from Duluth. The
young man spent his summer va
cation as deck hand on the pack
ct freighter, Ace, plying between
Duluth and Buffalo, N. Y.
Kenneth had a very interesting
summer. 1t took the boat ten days
to make a round trip. Outward
bound from Duluth it carried but
ter, eggs, cheese, flour and cereals
from Minneapolis. Much of the
butter carried East came from the
Sauk Centre Blue Valley plant, and
one shipment of a carload of eggs
was from H. F. Schmidt & Co., of
this city.
The Ace only made two stops en-
route both ways. The first one go
ing east was at Port Huron, Mich,
where coal was taken on. A two
hour stop was made at Detroit
where autos were loaded.
Kenneth says except for an oc-
casional serious fog the weather
was fine all season.
Returning IrOm buudIO IHe Car
go was merchandise of all sorts.
The Ace was 290 feet long with
upper and lower deck and hold,
and drew % feet of water.
The young man is taking his
Senior year at the Sauk Centre
High and unless something better
is obtained he will take up the lake
work again during his vacation in
1880. He says the crew of 726 men
on the Ace were a group of splen-
did fellows, several of them boys
about his age, and most of the bal
ance young men. He had shore
leave of 36 hours both at Duluth
and Buffalo at the end of each
trip.

LAD HAS HARD LUCK

Carl Hildebrandt, Jr., young son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Hildebrandt,
of this city, suffered an accident
which caused a broken arm Satur-

more hard luck than the average

of his hard luck.

Severely Criticizes the
Sauk Centre Business Men
Herald Contributor, All Club Lead
er, Comments on Lack of In
terest Achievement Day

Judging from an open letter
the public received by the Heral
the Sauk Centre business men di
not take sufficient interest in tt
Achievement Day activities held /
the Stearns County Boys and Girl
4-H Gibbs held at the Stearns Coul
ty Fair grounds, Tuesday, Aug. 2
when over 200 entries in the vario,
projects were exhibited. The lettt
follows:
To the Herald Editor:
Achievement Day, the i'm
portant climax of All Club
work for the boys and girls
is over. The number and
quality of calves, sheep, pigs,
etc.. judged certainly allows
us to call it big success.
This work and this day was
of real importance to these
boys and girls who had work
ed hard on their projects.
We are sorry the business
men of Sauk Centre passed it
up for their own business or
pleasure. The writer noticed
and counted all of four bus
mess men on the grounds.
Are the business men blind
or should we say near sight
ed? These boys and girls
are the future farmers of this
community and your future
business to a great extent
will rest with them.
We are not asking for char
ity but recognition of a work
well done.
The baby beef taking first,
scored SO. Surely he stands a
chance of being grand cham
pion. You men may have to
admit to strangers from 9TH
er states perhaps that you
passed up the chance of see
ing this animal while he was
in your own home town.
If you'll take notice on Sat-
urday evenings the streets
are lined with farmers cars.
Farmers and their families
