Eat More Butter, Reduce
the Increasing Surplus
Continued from Page One)

Y pound per capita would in
crease the demand more tnan 50,-
100000 pounds a year. That figure
is nearly ten times the storage sur
plus over the five year average on
June land yet. that 5, 1881 900 pounds
surplus has been sufficient to cause
butter prices to average from z
to 12c pound less this year than
they did last.
Raising the general average of
is not something which
can be accomplished in month or

money spent over period of years

Dairying is Minnesota's most i'm
portant industry, and Minnesota
dairy farmers are awakening to the
realization that only through their
own efforts can this industry be
made as profitable as it should be.
Under the plan, each county will
form its own organization with it's
own local officers. The work
started in Otter Tail County will
be expanded to every other county
in the state just as rapidly as pos
sible, and Minnesota will then join
with other dairy states in a united
national campaign. However, the
local market will not be overlooked
and local campaigns will also be
conducted to stimulate consump-
ton in the home market.

termining the flow Of business in a
small town is that of personal
friendship. The local people go to
the same churches-belong to the
same lodges-swat mosquitoes at
the same picnics. The independ-
emit small-town merchant knows
the typical wants and proclivities,
even the dispositions of his towns
people. He would never make such
a blunder as that of the old-rag
man who approached sharp
visaged housewife with the query:
"Any bottles, ma'am-any wine
bottles?" Thoroughly outraged, the
womn snapped- "Do look as if
drank wine?" The questioner peer
ed at her more closely and hasten
ed to exclain: "My mistakenly
mistake, lady. Any vinegar bot
tles?"
The element of personal contact
is one of the factors in the situa-
ton with respect to the mail-order
trade. What is the mail-order situ-
alton, taking it by and large? It
is easiest to express it by index
figures. Let us take the 1923-25
average as our basis, or 100. For
1919 the index figure for mail-order
sales in the country as whole was
SO; for 1880 it was 172, or a little
less than double what it had been IL
years before. It seems reasonable
to assume that the business of
small-town stores has been in
jured to some extent by this mail
order expansion, though I find no
figures available to indicate the
exact extent of such encroach-
ment. Our experts at the Depart
ment of Commerce say that, from
their experience, it looks as if the
mail-order houses get a much
larger business from the farmers,
in proportion to the number of peo-
pie, than they do from the actual
residents of small towns. (Of
course, that rural business would
otherwise come, in major part, to
the small-town stores.) In the viii
lagos, the factor of convenience,
the possibility of looking over the
goods and comparing and selecting
and again that highly important
element of personal friendship for
the storekeeeper, combine to hold
much trade for the good local mer-
chant as against the distant estab-
lishment selling merchandise by
mail.
And so, although there are I'M
favorable factors against small
town business, there are, on the
other hand, strong favorable ele-
ments which are more modern,
more in the spirit of the new
age" than are the adverse circum-
stances. A business friend of mine,
Mr.. A. M. Matson, of Dallas, di-
rector of a great wholesaling house
operating all over the country
writes me: IT have been convinced
mot through guesswork, but by
actual eXperience-thatt there Is a
comeback in the small town in
Texas; there are many good rea-
sons for it, but the most outstand-
ing is more efficient storekeepers."
Small-town industry and business
in this country are justified in en-
tertaining lively hopefulness and
sturdy courage.

Machine Gun Bandits
Loot Staples Bank
CONTINUED From Page One)

Meanwhile, the fifth man, at the
wheel of the automobile, had I'M
limbered machine gun in the car
and was standing guard with it,
ready to open fire should any oppo-
sition arise.
Working Systematically, the
plunderers cleaned out the vault
and the cashiers till, then walked
out, climbed into their car unhur-
riedly and sped away.
Immediately Chief Britton and
Mr. Minis spread an alarm through
out the state. Radio stations were
notified and peace officers in all
neighboring cities.
At Browerville, an airplane took
to the air to attempt to trace the
bandit car.
The last report said the bandits
were speeding along the road
which leads through Browerville to
Long Prairie
It was the fourteenth Minnesota
bank robbery of the year.

One Of the important goals of the
Minnesota Association for Crippled
Children was attained when the
recent Legislature passed Chapter
280, the so-called transportation
bill. Under it's terms crippled chill
dren who are unable to walk to
school may be aided by the State
Board of Education to the extenr
of $3.50 per pupil for transportation
or board if they are mentally and
physically able to profit by the reg
ular course of study. The new law
will, it is felt, be of great help to
the rural crippled child. It is es-
timated that at least 100, who have
in the past had little or no school
ing, will now beable to get the right
preparation for life. It is even pos
sible that a considerably larger
number will be brought to light as
needing this help and, if so, this
will be a benefit as the state will
thereby have a more exact know
ledge of the problem.

agricultural and timber lands were
opened. New industries came in.
Existing plants expanded their
equipment and activities. More
tourists flowed into the town as
they passed between California and
the Pacific Northwest.
Let us look for just moment at
Dodge City, Kansas, which doubled
its population during the past ten
years. One of the main reasons,
here, is to be found in the develop
ment of power farming-trans-
forming the plains country west
and south of Dodge City. And this
progressive town has utilized wise
ly the business advantages of it's
strategic location.
And the South, the vigorous new
South of fine, aggressive business
spirit, has plenty of good illustra-
tions. For instance, there is Bog
alusa, louisiana, registering 70
per cent gain since 1920-increas-
ing from 5000 to $4,000. In this
case, aggressive industrial develop
ment did the job-exploiting lat
ent lumber resources with paper
mill, new furniture factory, and
a box plant.
One cannot emphasize too strong
ly that new developments in trans.
portation have an immensely vital
bearing on the business future of
the small town. The story Of Now.
Michigan, illustrates that. It seems
that the town was once Stop Num-
Der Six-"No". Roman numeral
WON an old-time stage route.
When the railroads first came thru
that county they missed this vii
lage of Now, going 20 miles away
to the then equally small village of
Detroit. Partly as result of that
action (and partly of course, be-
cause of it's water transportation
advanages) Detroit is a great me-
tropolis. Now remains hamlet of
300.
But who knows?-possibly some
little hamlet of the plains may be
a Detroit of the future, given prom
inence by our newest mode of
transportation, the airplane. AL
ready many small towns have
been "put on the map" by the air,
lines serving them, and hundreds
of others have derived some ad
ditional income, whether fairlt
large and transient or rather small
and steady, from air transporta-
ton.
Take the case of Pasco, Wash
ington, an important division on
the airline serving the great North
west, which has spurs connecting
the major cities Of the Pacific Coast
and the finland Empire" with the

Sank Centre s. Westport 1

Last Thursday evening the West
port baseball team came to Sank
Centre to participate in the Junior
Chamber of Commerce celebration.
They were defeated by the locals
to the tune of to 1.
On Wednesday evening a colored
boy by the name of Booker drifted
into Sank Centre and asked for
chance to pitch a ball game. He
was hired for Thursday evening
and did a very good job on the
mound for Sank Centre.
The game started with Westport
scoring one run in the first inning
Weisgram and Fredericks were
both easy outs. Nesseth got hit
a safe one by Judkins followed and
H. Dieltz hit brought Nesseth
home. JudEins was out pitcher to
third. This ended the scoring fer
Westport.
Sank Centre scored its first run
in the last half of the second in
ming. Lewis received free trans
portation to first, he pilfered sec
ond and went to third on passed
ball. Dahlem struck out. Hopkins
walked to first, and Lewis scored on
a passed ball. IwinsM and Benson
both struck out.
The locals scored again in the
fourth frame when Courtney was
safe with a walk. He stole both
second and third base and scored
when Dahlem was out Fredericks
to Nesseth.
In the last of the seventh Sank
Centre scored three runs. Dahlem
first up in this frame connected for
a three Dagger, he scored on Hop
kins' hit. Hopkins scored on Ben
sons hit and Benson came home
when Booker shot one out between
first and second. Iwinski had
struck out before Benson's hit, Oh
son was out to third, Soltau con-
nected for a safe one but died on
base when Courtney famed.
Courtney's base running was
feature of the game, as he pilfered
four bases. He is a slippery indi-
vidual when it comes to base run
ming and it would not surprise the
fans to see him steal home plate
some day.
Benson had a perfect evening in
the center garden. He got four
chances, none of them being easy.
Jimmy has been putting on a good
show out his way and fans feel
relieved when the ball goes sailing
out to him.
Booker, pitcher for Sank Centre,
allowed only six scattered hits
while Nesseth. for Westport, al
lowed five bingles. This was very
good game and was attended by one
of the largest evening crowds ever
seen in Sank Centre.
