Great Chalice a
Topic of Lecture
Young Peoples Fellowship of Epis-
copal Church to Sponsor Event
at Church Sunday Evening

Mrs. Everett w. Copper, who re-
Gently moved to this city from
Minneapolis, to be with her son,
John, who attends school here, will
give an address on 1.-THE Great
Chalice of Antioch" at the Epis-
copal Church Sunday evening, Feb
II, at 7:3O o'clock. This lecture
will be illustrated with lantern
slides.
The address will be under the
auspices of the Young Peoples
Fellowship, and the slides will be
shown through the courtesy of
Fahim Kouchakji, owner of the
Antioch chalice. which was on ex-
hibition at the Century of Progress
in Chicago. The public is invited
to attend this lecture. A silver offer
ing will be taken.
DR.. Augustus A. Esen, Ameri-
can archaeologist, spent nine years
studying the Chalice Of Antioch to
prove its genuineness and worth as
an ancient treasure.
This Chalice, or Communion Cup.
of sculptured silver is the very
earliest Christian object in the world
today, and takes its place among
the greatest works of art of all
time. The owner is Mr.. Fahim
Kouchakji, of New York, who ex-
hibited the Chalice at the Century
of Progress in Chicago. It is Of
priceless value, and is insured for
100000 dollars.
For centuries, this Chalice must
have been the chief treasure Of the
Church Of Antioch, in Syria, moth
er of all the Gentle churches of
the world. For many more centur-
les, it lay buried beneath the ruins
of that ancient city, until chance
find brought it to light to focus up
on it the interest of the Christian
world in our twentieth century
civilization.
Among the decorations on the
Chalice are twelve seated figures,
two Of them representing the
Christ, the otner ten, His Apostles
and Followers.
The Chalice has two component
parts, consisting of a crude inner
cup, for which the outer cup or
Chalice Is the holder. This inner
cup must have been very sacred
treasurer to have had so magnifi-
cent a container.
It is believed that the Chalice
was made before the year 81 A. d.
by Greek artist who had seen the
Christ and some of His Followers,
and that the figures are actual por-
traits, also that the inner cup Is
the very cup used by The Master
when, at the Passover Feast with
His Disciples, He instituted the
Sacrament Of the Lords Supper
in other words. the Holy Grail Of
poetry, legend and romance

Did you know that fifteen peo-

They are employed in the two

There are five churns, which
are used in the making Of but

although we are unable to get
figures on the total amount Of
the table product manufactured
it is safe to say that few places
in Central Minnesota can come
near equaling the output.
In this connection it might al
so be stated that five men are
employed in the manufacture of
butter tubs in this city. This
brings the total Of those en-
ployed in Sank Centres butter

These figures are given at the
lowest period Of the industry's
business, for during the summer
months fourteen men are en-
ployed at making tubs, and more
men are also employed in both
creameries.

Farms Sign Corn
Hog Contracts
Contracts Must Be Completed Fri
day, February 9th-Over 1900
Signed Up in County

The signing of corn-hog reduction
contracts by Stearns county farmers
has progressed so rapidly that it
soon will be possible to take the
next step in this campaign, which is
that of organizing the contract sign
ers into a county corn-hog control
association, according to Ed LEM
meier. county agricultural agent.
1,275 corn and hog raisers have
signed contracts, and many others
have signified their intention of do
ing so as soon as they can gather
the production information required
in the contract.
The county agent urges all who
have not yet signed contracts to do
so as soon as possible, since this will
give them a voice in electing those
who will administer the plan in this
county.
The procedure in setting up the
county corn-hog control association
will be as follows:
contract signers will elect COM
munity committees of three to five
members The chairmen of these
committees will compose the board
of directors of the county associa-
ton. This board will elect the fol-
lowing officers: () a county allot-
ment committee Of two to four from
its own membership; (2) a presi-
dent, who will be a member of the
board and also chairman of the
county allotment committee; (3) a
vice president, who is a member of
the board but who will not serve as
a member Of the allotment commit
tee except when any regular men,
Der is unable to serve; "a a secre-
tary and treasurer who are not
required to be members of the asso-
citation.
The county allotment committees
duty will be to check, and, where
necessary, to make adjustments in
contracts and to certify to the
corn-hog section of the Agricultur-
al Adjustment Administration the
total corrected figures for 1884 acre
age, contracted acreages, corn pro-
duction, hog numbers, and corn
hog reduction payments for the
county. It also will make arrange
ments to have each producers
production figures, as stated by
him in his contract, made public.
The board of directors will de-
eide appeals of farmers who sign
ed contracts from the decisions of
the county allotment committee
and will authorize expenditures,
subject to the approval of the
corn-hog section. It also may re-
define community boundaries.
Duties Of the community COM
mittees include the following: Q)
appraising corn yields of-land Of
fered as contracted acres; (2)
checking and correcting production
data offered by producers and
landlords. (3) obtaining production
data on corn and hogs of nom
signers, (4 obtaining contracts; 60
helping applicants to I'LL in their
contracts; (6) certifying produc-
ton records in determining the
1932-33 average corn acreage and
hog base; and numerous other du-
ties connected with the progress Of
the campaign.

Stearns county had signed Corn
Hog contracts before Saturday
night, Feb. 3. The sign-up starting

County Agent to Supply Need
ed Information Prompt
Action Necessary

Farmers who produced one or
more Htters of pigs each year, on
the average, in 1882 and 1888, may
sign corn-hog reduction contracts
and receive payments from the gov
eminent for reducing their 1884
hog production, according to a new
ruling by the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, just received
by County Agent Lentzmier. An
earlier ruling set an average pro-
duction of three filters each year
as the minimum. This will let
small producers come in for the
benefits of the program.
Other new rulings announced are
in substance as follows:
An exception to the ruling
requiring the signer of a corn
hog contract ITO fill his silo in
1884 to the average level to
which it was filed in 1928 in
all cases where corn used as
silage is included in the 1928
average corn acreage for con-
tract" IF a producer can show
satisfactory reasons to his COM
munity committee or county al
lotment committee why he
should not fill his silo, he may
be exempted under this ruling,
and then the average acres de-
voted to silage corn will not be
included in the acreage on
which his reduction is based.
This would mean that a farmer
who grew 40 acres of corn in
1882 and 1888, ten acres being
used for silage, would be al
lowed to grow only "a acres of
corn in 1880 per cent of 80
acres-if he was exempted from
filling his silo.
Sweet clover is removed from
the list of crops that can be
grown as additional perma-
nent pasture" on corn land con-
tracted to the government,
though sweet clover may be
sown for soil improvement on
contracted acres provided it is
plowed under in the same sea-
son. The grasses and legumes
that may be sown as perma-
nent pasture on contracted
acres (in addition to the aver
age acreage seeded to pasture
on q farm in 1892 and 1889
are bluegrass, redtop, timothy,
meadow rescue, red clover, al
sike, white clover, alfalfa,
bronze grass, Reed Canary
grass, and several others.
A farmer who has moved re-
Gently to a farm where fewer
cows have been kept than he
has been used to keeping may
keep as many cows in 1884 as
he kept on the other farm in
1892 or 1888, which ever was
. the higher. This same rule
will be made to Apply to beef
cattle or sheep or other kinds
of livestock if they should be
designated as basic commodi-
ties later.
Heirs may obtain the hog
production rights of deceased
producers even II such persons
signed no contract before death.
Signers of wheat reduction
contracts whose acreage Of
winter wheat seeded last fall
was winter-killed will be given
a wider latitude in the choice
of crops to be planted in 1884
than is provided in the con-
tract.
Farmers who do not butcher
and sell or exchange annually
more than 1000 pounds of live
hogs of their own raising will
be exempted from paying
processing tax on an amount
up to 300 pounds sold. They

President Oscar Lying in a brief,
inspiring talk pointed out the duty
the farmers owed the cooperative
creameries. He insisted they must
not go to sleep on the job. He said
the Sank Lake Cooperative Cream
cry was organized 80 years ago be-
cause it was necessary to compete
with the centralizers. He said the
Centralizers always protested that
they came to a community to help
the farmers. 1.-The need of carry
ing on the war against the Cen
tdalizers was just as great today
as ever" Mr.. Lying said. Volume
counts in any business. If all the
cream produced in the Sank Cen
tire community was handled by the
Sank Lake Cooperative Creamery
it would increase the butterfat
price to the farmer at least one
cent per pound as the additional
overhead to handle would not be
particularly great.
President Lying stated that the
creamery did not intend to make
the creamery a poultry and egg
buying plant. Their purpose was
to keep up the price Of poultry and
eggs. He said they did not desire
to injure the Sank Centre bust
ness men but that they must look
out for their patrons. He said the
more money the farmer received
for his product, the more money he
would have to spend with the Sank
Centre business men.

deserved hand of applause at the
