Contests Held in the State
This Year

The grand champion buttermak-
ers Of Minnesota resides in Sank
Centre.
He is Walter Schriver, butter
maker for the Sank Lake Cooper
alive Creamery, of this city.
Mr.. Schriver is one of the young
est buttermakers in the state. He
came to Sank Centre about three
years ago. When he was employ
ed by the board Of directors Of
Sank Centre creamery it was fear
ed he was pretty young for the job
ahead of him. He was following
Axel Merton, had brought the
local creamery from a low level to
one of the very best cooperative
creameries in Minnesota.
Walter was facing tough job.
His predecessor had placed the
plant on a very high plane and
there was also competition of the
strenuous kind.
The young man had not been in
charge of the buttermaking depart
ment of the local cooperative
creamery very long before he be-
gan to gain district and statewide
recognition by winning silver cups
and gold watches on his entries in
competition with the best butter
makers of the State.
The 18th annual convention Of
the Minnesota Creamery Operators
and Managers Association was held
in Minneapolis Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. Four
hundred and fifteen operators en-
tered their butter exhibits.
Mr.. Schriver did not score high
in this particular contest. His
score was 94.40 out Of a possible
SO. He was topped in this particular
contest by e. w. Johnson, Of Fora
da, Douglas county, with score of
$3.50; c. J. Strobel, Carver, 95.25,
and H. T. Boland, Bemidji, $500.
In the four contests held in Min
nesota the Sank Centre butter
maker has the highest average
score. On that basis the experts in
charge Of the contests awarded him
the grand championship.
The Herald congratulates Mr..
Schriver upon the honors he has
won for himself and brought to his
creamery, and the board Of direct
ors of the Sank Lake Creamery

Physical Tests
 For Operators
Stoecke Explains Workings of New Measure Vital to
 New Drivers

While the examiner is giving the eyesight test, he will have an op- portunity to ack number of ques- tions, the answers to which should give information as to the qualifica- tions of the applicant. These should give a good picture of the prospec- tive operator, the use to which he plans to put his car and other items of information.
 "The next step in the examination will probably be a determination of the applicants knowledge of the mo- tor vehicle laws. There will be no "catch questions In this test, and the legal questions which are asked will appertain to the driving func- tions and to actual operation on the highway. This examination in law will include questions concerned with equipment, such as the use and care of mirrors, windshield wipers and brakes.
 There will be few written ques- tions of the general nature referred to, and probably two or more prob lems in traffic. In the solving of these, the applicant will have to show that he has progressed far enough to recognize emergencies and know the right way to handle situations which are sure to con- front him on the highway. Practical demonstration of driving ability will be required"

HISTORY TELLS ABOUT DRINKING
 IN OLDEN DAYS

Franklin, Pa. June II. (UP)- Because the early American colonists drank liquor and dealt in rum and salves, this city school board is faced with a delay in the selection of a history text book for the seventh and eighth grades.
 The test under dispute is Charles Van Nest and Henry l.. Smiths So- cialized History of the United States
 Ambros Sheasley, school direc. tor, resents it that more than Q page of the book is devoted to dis cussion> of colonial drinking habits and leaves the impression our fore fathers were drinkers of stout stuff.
 "The book gives Q distorted opin- ion of pioneer living conditions" Sheasley said. why go into all that detail about drinking-and then have the young mind find justifica- ton for conditions as they are to- day?'
 Sheasley cited such passages as "during the seventeenth century, the people of Europe did not drink wa ter as a beverage as we do to-day. When they came as colonists to the new world as they continued to drink the same beverage that they had been used to In Europe-that is whenever they could get it. "In many cases, however, they were forced to drink water and were act ually surprised that no ill effects came of it."
 Sheaseley objected to another paragraph because 'it is propaganda of the kind we don't want in our schools. He said the following para graph links the slave trade and the drink habit.

Chairman.

Tn discussing a proposed examina- tion for applicants for Connecticut motor vehicle operators licenses Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel said today that any examination extended beyond the present system may be expected to include a physical test. This will mean" he said .s'that the ex- aminer will need to know that the applicant is normal, so far as phy- sical qualifications are concerned, or if not normal, that the defect is not sufficient to interfere with Oper- alton of car.
 Tn this particular determination of the physical ability of an appli- cant" said MT Stoeckel the quest ton of eyesight is the most import ant. Eye-sight tests will be con- tinued as a part of the examination, and will probably be somewhat ex- banded to include search for color blindness or other visual defects which can be noted by an ordinary examiner. The state is working with experts on this matter, and while the test now in use is useful, 1t may be possible to acquire more know ledge which would be of particular aid to both the, examiner and the applicant.

Editor, Tribune:
The Church Sauvain affairs re-
minds me of an old gag that fits YOUR
"Barbs" or "Quotations", viz:
If you're acquainted with the rot
tenness and graft in politics, Keep
your mouth shut " starve. You have
your choice; this Is a free country,
you know"
I see that the hypocrite yokels have
stopped the Sunday races. Can you
imagine anything more idiotic than
a Bible Christian enforcing a law to
keep the beathen (pagan) "vener-
able day of the sun" as a holy day?
At 1901 noon on the Sabbath, or
Sunday, at Bismarck, our neighbors
on the other side of the world would,
according to their creed, enter the
unholy time while those here of the
same creed would still have IL hours
of holy time. Thus we have holy and
unholy time at once.
Such idiosyncrasy would no doubt
fit the flat pancake world CT Voliva
made by Voliva's God. and cut square,
but why any intelligent person liv-
ing on this roundworld OF ours
should be a slave to the several thou
sand-year-old humbug about holy
and unholy time is beyond the COM
prehension of a person whose eyes
are open.

that began q few years after the Wal
of 1912. Harlow reports that its an
cient records showed "the sale Of an
imitation diamond to G. Vanderbilt
for $1.25."
And it was the Bowery that saw the
first production Of Uncle Toms
Cabin" The scene Of this event was
the Chatham Theater in Chatham
Square. It was here, too, that the
American minstrel show was born, q
primitive outgrowth of the old muse
ums wherein such historic stage fig
ures "a Weber and Fields and q hum
dred others got their youthful OPP
portunities.
These museums were the theaters
Of their time, scattering slowly over
the city. and combining the freaks
and the spectacular figures of the
moment with stage entertainment.
Typical Of the museum was the i'm
%portation Of the Ford brothers after
they had slain Jesse James. The
modern vaudeville stage has never
quite outgrown this custom of dis
playing people who have figured in
front page news. Film news reels and
the radio are even newer mediums
for carrying on the traditions Of the
old muses." by bringing before the
public all sorts Of sensational figures.

A DISTINGUISHED Churchman

North Dakota loses a most distin-
guished churchman and citizen! in the
death of Bishop Tyler. His influence
for the betterment of humanity was
great and those who came in contact
with him could not help but feel the
kindly spirit that radiated genuine
cordially.
His mission in this state was not
an easy one. Comparatively speak
ing there are few communicates OF
his faith in North Dakota and the
boundaries of his diocese are far
flung, comprising the city church as
we'll as the humble Indian mission of
the prairies. He faced his duties
courageously and with great zeal.
When death came, Bishop Tyler was
preparing to inspect n of the In
dian missions at the Fort Yates
reservation. He was keenly interested
in the work which the church is do
ing among the Indian charges of the
nation.
Bishop Tyler was a deep student
and an eloquent speaker. His per.
sonality was magnetic and he had
many friends in all denominations. A
Virginian by birth, he had many of
those admirable qualities of a South
ern gentleman but there was nothing
sectional in his viewpoint and he
struck out vigorously against any
division between the North and the
South.
Not many years ago, In Bismarck
at a mems dinner. the suggestion was
made inadvertently about some policy
affected by the Mason and Dixon line.
When the bishop arose to speak, his
eyes flashed fire and he gave a most
stirring address upon the unity Of
the Republic. Those who might have
felt that there were still some of the
old division of ideas and ideals of
government between the North and
the South felt that here was a South
erner who had only contempt for
those who could see anything but a
thoroughly united Republic, He
spoke as a loyal Virginian. and those
who had spoken, thoughtlessly per-
haps. of the southland, felt rebuked
and chastened in spirit.

toughness. To be sure, the whole
country sang the song and, doubt
less, dismissed it just as it has dis
missed songs Of a heartless and SOUL
less Broadway.
Yet, after all these years, the ques-
ton rises as to whether this tune
made the famous highway what it
is today. In a colorful history of the
street titled "Old Bowery Days." it
is cited that within 10 years of the
songs composition Bowery merchants
were complaining that it had hurt
business.
Veteran East Siders still swear
that it vas nothing else than this
slanderous lampoon that killed the
street" reports Alvin Harlow, the
author.
At any rate. q bit Of research re-
reveals that "the Bowery, the Bow
cry" was sung in an early-day hit,

was sung by that same Steve Brodie

eral who directed the affairs which
brought the Harding administration
into disrepute. If that band of loot
ers surrounding Harding had ring
leaders, Senator Fall must have sat
with them, militant or q%uiescent, as
the Ease may be.
Falls offense was great because he
knew better. He held an important
public office. He gambled with it
and was convicted after a fair trial.
One of the vagaries of justice, in
applicable to the masses, is that the
giver of the bride is declared in
nocent while Fall is found guilty.
Those who followed the testimony
Of the various trials, however, sensed
the sordidness of what took place
between Fall and Doheny.
One is freed and one jailed. The
ends Of justice may have been but
partially served, yet the conviction of
Fall should stand as a warning to all
in public places Of trust.
