Bwd's Cook Relates
An Interesting Story
Congregational Mems Brotherhood
Enjoy Fine Evening With
Mr.. Leuthner

In spite of the fact that several
members of the Brotherhood had
other important engagements rs
men sat down to a well served and
supper at the Congregational
church Friday evening.
Previous to the event of the eve
ming Mr.. Morgan introduced Mrs
Brophie, of Alexandria, Minnesota,
mother Of Art Brophie, who was
business manager of the Byrd Elk
petition. RMS. Brohpie responded
by saying that she spent six months
in New Zealand during the expedi-
ton, and paid a high compliment
to the speaker of the evening, Mr.
Walter Leuthner whom she has
known since boyhood.
Mr.. Leuthner prefaced his re-
marks by saying that it was thru
Mr.. Brophie that he was able to be-
come one Of the members of the
expedition.
The expedition was the largest in
numbers, most thoroughly organic
ed, and most compensating in re-
suits Of any previous expeditions to
either pole.
The expedition accomplished far
more than was first anticipated
Among the outstanding achieve
ments of the expedition was the
valuable data on the origin and
cause Of atmospheric disturbances
Abe future possibilities Of radio
and aviation in gathering more ac-
curate information about the South
Pole, and the speed and safety for
future expeditions.
In a graphic manner the speaker
told of the second trip of the City
Of New York, upon which he was
the cook, to the Bay Of Wales, the
base for Little America, through
the ice beds for distance of about
200 miles and in the face Of heavy
storm. During this second trip
and on account of the storm, the
speaker said that they were lost fol
one whole week, and that at one
time on account of the increasing
weight Of the ice on the boat there
was great danger of the ship sink
ing.
Upon their arrival in the Bay of
Wales they found that Byrd and
his men had been waiting for them
for one month.
On the return journey, the speak
err said that he had every oppor-
tunity to study Commander Byrd
as a man. He said that all men
were alike on that return trip. With
only one table to eat from, on one
occasion Byrd awaited his turn and
took 1t with the third sitting of the
men, irrespective of the work they
did on the ship.
The speaker said that there is
every reason to believe that Com
mander Byrd will start on bigger
and more extensive expedition In
the near future The South Pole is
a new world and science has much
to learn from further developments
there.

Independent Business
Leaders Hear Address
v. G. Wedge Elected President, r.
r. Hansen Vice President of
Local Organization

Monday evening several Of the
members of the Independent Mer-
chants Association, st. Cloud, met
the Independent Merchants of this
city at quite a largely attended
meeting at the Community Club
rooms.
At this meeting v. G. Wedge was
elected president of the local
organization, succeeding George
O'Gara who has been made a men,
Der of the recently organized state
association perfected at st. Cloud.
r. E. Hansen was elected vice.
president; B. F. Dubois was re-
elected secretary and treasurer.
Following the election of officers
Mike Murray, of the Fritz-Cross
Co., printers, st. Cloud, was intro
duced and briefly outlined the OBJ
jects Of the state association.
J. j. Howard, Minneapolis, was
then introduced. This gentleman
is an honest to goodness evangelist.
He painted vivid picture Of what
the independent banker, the indie
pendent merchant, the Independent
farmer was up against. He called
attention to the fact that the indus
trial farmer was fast becoming a
reality. This group is strongly
backed by Wall Street interests,
according to Mr.. Howard. He pre-
dicted that unless there was united
effort on the part Of independent,
banker, business man and farmer
everywhere to organize as a unit,
and quickly, the time would soon
be here when cities like Sank
Centre would be reduced to places
for creameries and an occasional
filling station.
Mr.. Howard deplored the fact
that there were too many petty
jealousies existing among the bus
mess men in the rural communi-
ties. He said that those engaged in
competing lines should forget their
petty jealousies and join hands
in fighting a common enemy. He
urged that the community spirit
should extend to the end of the
trade territory Of every commun-
ity. The gentleman is a very in.-
pressive speaker and present plans
call for the bringing Of him back
to this city to address a mass
meeting Of the community in the
near future.
It was voted for the Sank Centre
organization to become actively af-
filiated with and members Of the
state organization.

Stockholders and Patrons Dis
cuss Question at Meeting
Saturday Evening
TO WORK OUT DETAILS
Need of Continuing COMPETE
tive Market in Sank Cen
tire Recognized
TO WORK OUT DETAILS

The question of whether or not
Sank Centre should retain COM
petitive grain market has been a
serious problem with the farmers
adjacent to this city for long
time.
Last fall the Sank Centre Live
Stock Shipping Association leased
the mill of the Central Mimi,
Power and Milling Co., and has
since been operating the plant in
CONJUNCTION with the organizations
warehouse and feed mill on the
Great Northern right of way.
The matter of purchasing the
mill was discussed at length at the
annual meeting of the association
held in January. At that time a
committee consisting of the Board
of Directors and the following
were appointed to go into the pur-
chase proposition: B. F. Dubois, c.
D. Marshall, Oscar Lying, Arthur
Rogers, George O'Gara and John
Gritzmacher.
At a meeting of the stock holders
held at the Community Club rooms
Saturday evening about 40 stock
holders and a large number OF
patrons were present to hear the
committees recommendations.
President Frank J. Minette pre-
sided. The proposition to purchase
the property was explained by
manager w. H. Rattle. The gentle
man gave q review of the business
transacted by the organization in
the past three years. He explained
that under the bylaws of the as
sociation the Indebtedness could
never exceed so per cent of the
stock outstanding.
The proposition altered Satur-
day evening proposed the organiza-
ton of a holding company which
would sell the property to the As
ISOLATION with a real estate con-
tract with payments of 500 per
month (the same amount the as
ISOLATION is now paying for rentalo
The security would be the mill
property only.
President Minette asked for a
full and free discussion of the
question but the members were
very reluctant to give their views.
Ted Steines, poultryman, said
that home-mixed poultry feeds cost
only about one half as much as
commercial feeds. He had, he said,
tested out both kinds of feeds and
had found that the home feeds
would do what the best known
commercial feeds would do. He
was convinced that experiments
with other livestock would bring
the same results.
Oscar Lying discussed the work
of the committee of 10. He express
ed the opinion that the holding
company plan was feasible and
would work out with profit for the
association.
B. F. Dubois said he felt that a
competing market was absolutely
necessary and believed that with a
properly drawn contract all of the
interests of the association would
be safeguarded.
Ben F. Otte discussed the ex-
perience of the Farmers Equity in
this city several years ago.
At this point recess of 10 min
utes was takek 10 allow the men,
bers to discuss the matter in for
NAL groups. With resumption of
activities to get the matter proper
ly before the meeting the following
motion was introduced.

INDIAN INDEPENDENCE
HIT AS FARLEY TOPIC
Action of Union Council Demands
Limit on Discus
sions.
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, July 1-Political COM
mentators last night professed to see a
possibility of serious embarrassment for
the government in handling the Indian
problem in decision by the Central
Council of the Union of Conservative
ard Unionist Associations.
The delegates voted that If the Con-
ssrvstives are to continue working with
the government at the second round
table conference they must be assured
that any resolutions calculated to make
possible complete Indian independence
must be outside the scope of the dis
cussions.
The meeting demanded also that
"the essential safeguards should be both
real and permanent"
Commentators agreed that Premier
Macdonald might have considerable
difficulty in entering a discussion SO
much hedged about beforehand, and
that if he should lose the Conservative
support his authority as a spokesman
for united nation would be gravely
impaired
