COME

FALSE ADVICE
NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS
CLAIM THEY RECEIVED
GREAT DISCOURAGEMENT;
PLEASED WITH VISIT

Though they were advised not to
come to Key West because of linz
tied accommodations at hotels,
the high cost Of living at these no.
tells and being forced to submit to
untold Inconvenience, Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen Burgess came and were
delighted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burgess have their
home in Gloucester City, N. j., and
were on their annual auto trip to
places they had never been. They
decided on Key West and motored
down, stopping at places on the
keys.
Yesterday they went fishing
and returned with magnificent
catch of yellowtail, mutton fish,
grouper, mackerel and barracuda,
and it was while they were de-
lightedly selecting some of the fish
to have cooked Key West style,
they were spoken to by The Citi-
zen.
yes" said Mr.. Burgess, "we
certainly enjoyed our trip and this
is the greatest sport we have had
in many days. And we came
near missing it. We had receiv-
ed so many discouraging reports
about Key West we had actually
turned back, when Mrs. Burgess
decided we must go to Key West. "
Then Mrs. Burgess told about
being advised to stay away from
the city which had no attractions
and charged SIS a day at a poorly
furnished hotel. But" she said,
81 wanted to see the city and l
vas not foolish enough to think
that SIS day was the least we
could be accommodated for.
"And my husband and are de-
lighted over changing our decision
to.sg back home without seeing
Key West, as we have had a won
derfuI time and will spread the
good news that Key West is a
great place and wonderful for
fishing"
Mr.. Burgess supplemented Mrs.
Burgess story by remarking to
his nearer "she should think it is
a great trip for at least rs percent
of this wonderful catch of fish was
taken on her line"

DID YOU
KNOW THAT

Did you know that twenty-five
men employed on the two rail-
roads coming into this city, are
residents of Sank Centre This
amount will be considerably
greater when spring work on
the road beds commences.
The larger part Of this num-
Der Of employees are family
heads, and hence, you will have
to figure for yourselves the num-
Der of Sank Centre residents,
who are making their livelihood
from railroad work. A year ago
the number Of railroad men
making their homes in Sank
Centre was considerably great
er, however, a large number of
these have moved to Bemidji,
owing to changes in the schedule
Of the Kline.

work to these students on the cam
pus, which will permit them to
earn from $40 to $40 per month,
depending upon the need. The rate

Supt. w. A. Kohl has been asked

The Drouth
Situation Is
Very Acute
Government Way Behind In
Shipping Allotments of
Grin and Hay
NOT A POUND ON HAND
G. V. Morse Has Resigned as
Secretary-Small Compen-
sation Cut Off

For the first time in history
much Of the farm land of Western
Stearns suffered an almost conf
plete crop failure through drouth
and hail, some sections having
both.
In September of last year the
Sank Centre Community Club ap-
pointed a committee to see what
could be done to alleviate the sit
uation as they visualized the SER
ious conditions which would con-
front many of the farmers before
grass came again.
Gordon Morse became the secre-
tary and active head Of the COM
mittee. He called a meeting which
included representatives from Bel
grade and Brooten, and the set-up
for, an active campaign was start
ed. The territory proposed to be
covered was "a townships, part of
them in Todd county.
There was no serious situation
lin Eastern Stearns as most Of the
farmers had feed enough to see
their foundation herds through the
winter.
Applications for relief were re-
ceived in this city, Brooten and
Belgrade. All Of them were to be
passed upon by the executive COM
mittee and cleared through the
Sank Centre office.
AS time went on the work in
creased in intensity and numbers.
Before long it was taking all of Mr..
Morse's time, and office assistance
was added. In all more than 1000
applications passed through the
Sank Centre office. Some of the
questionaries contained more than
100 questions. In an attempt to
keep up with the work Mr.. Morse
sacrificed his own business and on
many occasions worked far in to
the night with members of the ex-
ecutive committee.
In the beginning relief was Sc
cured from the state department Of
relief consisting of Gov. Olson, Sec
rotary of State Holm, State Auditor
King, State Treasurer SchmahI
and Attorney General Peterson.
The funds available were soon
exhausted and Federal Aid was
called upon. The distribution being
made under the supervision of the
State Board of Control.
For some time Mr.. Morse did not
receive any compensation. When
his entire time was demanded he
had a right to expect and had re-
iceived some compensation. The
State Department eventually paid
him $4,000 from the beginning Of
the campaign to Dec. Is, when the
Federal government took over the
management and distribution CT
hay and feeds. From Dec. 16 to
Feb. /, a period of about seven
weeks, Mr.. Morse received a conn
pensation of $500 per week. Feb.
8 he was notified that he had been
cut from the payroll Feb. /. From
Dec. 16 to Feb. the county con-
tracted to pay Mr.. Morse a rental
of $500 per month for the use Of
his office and equipment.

Committees
Administer
Clog Plan
Stearns Co. Farmers Meeting
in Groups This Week to
Name Committees
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Personnel Will Be Men Who
Know Conditions in Each
Community

Stearns county farmers who
have signed contracts in the recent
ly conducted corn-hog reduction
campaign will take steps this week
to set up permanent committees to
administer the reduction plan.
Meetings have been scheduled
for every community in the county
at which the contract signers will
have an opportunity to elect COM
munity committees of three to FIVE
members each. These committees
will be required to visit the farms
Of contract signers, inspect the
fields which have been designated
as contracted acres, and estimate
the average yield Of corn per acre
under weather conditions which
have prevailed during the last five
years. They also will be required
to investigate each contract sign
er's hog production during the last
two years. When they have finish
ed their Investigations, they will
submit their findings to the county
allotment committee.
Since the community committee
men all will be local farmers, their
knowledge of local conditions will
be valuable asset to the corn
hog reduction movement. Too
much care can not be exercised by
the contract signers in selecting
the best men available for these Of
fees, and those who are elected
will have reason to feel that they
have made a contribution to the
national recovery plans.
The chairman Of each community
committee will serve as member
Of the board Of directors Of the
county corn-hog control association,
and this board will elect a commit
tee Of three to five members which
will make whatever adjustments
are necessary in each contract
signer's production figures, and ar
range for the publication Of these
figures in the newspapers Of the
county, both before and after they
have been adjusted.
According to e. c. Lenzmeier,
county agricultural agent, who Is
directing the corn-hog reduction
campaign in Stearns county, farm
ers who have not yet signed con-
tracts should consult the men,
bers Of their community organiza-
ton committees and sign contract
blanks at once IL they wish to par
ticipate in this program.

Com. Club Endorsed
Wool GrooVers' Plan
Movement Started to Have Two
Big Days I'm This City
In Nav

At a meeting of the directors Of
the Sank Centre Community Club
Monday afternoon a motion was
unanimously adopted endorsing the
plan of the Sank Centre Wool
Growers Association in its spon-
soring of two big wool days in this
city the latter part of May.
The Wool Growers Association
will send out preliminary advertis-
ing to the wool growers within a
short time. There are over 1900
of them in territory tributary to
this city.
In verndale and other portions Of
the Northwest these wool days have
been great business developers for
the live wire merchants who reach
out after business.
Last year with practically no
publicity about $4,000 pounds of
wool was handled. There should
be four times that amount. If, af-
ter a canvass, the Sank Centre
Wool Growers Association can as.
sure the buyers there will be 3d.
600 or more pounds Of wool brought
to this city on the dates agreed
upon the competition will be keen
which will result in higher price
for the growers.
The price Of wool is nearly double
what it was at its peak a year ago,
and good judges predict it will go
still higher.
The Sank Centre merchants are
passing up a fine opportunity FOR
more business If they do not sup
port the Wool Growers Association
to the limit in organizing these
days.
