Miss Moan Anderson Unani-
nous Choice For New
Stearns Position
SPLENDIDLY EQUIPPED
Will Be Better Enabled to
Care for All Work
During Year

Miss Moan Anderson, County All
Leader, was unanimously selected
as Home and Community Leader
of Stearns County at a meeting
held at the Court House in St
Cloud Saturday evening. This ap.
pointment is for the period of one
years duration.
The selection was made by two
of the County Commissioners, the
County Auditor, County Agent,
four Farm Bureau officials, and
Miss Newton, of the State Home
and Community Board. Mrs. c. F.
Botz is one of the officers of the
Farm Bureau who attended the
meeting.
Miss Anderson's new position en-
tails work similar to that of the
County Agent, her work being
among the women and young peo-
pie on the farms. This new work
is sponsored by the Farm Bureau
and is under the direction Of the
Extension Division Of the Univer-
sity.
This Is a deserved promotion for
Miss Anderson, who has given ex-
cellent service as County Leader
of All club work. Miss Anderson
has been employed on All work
only during the summer months IN
the past, while the new position
calls for twelve months work. This
will enable her to give better SER
vice in the All field, and will, no
doubt, be an added incentive for
better work among the young
folk on the farms.

Local Scouts to
Attend Jamboree
Musical Entertainment Will Be
Given June 18th, To Help
Defray Expenses of Trip

Vernon Weeks and Richard But
Ter are the two Boy Scouts from
this city, who were selected to re-
present the local troops at the Ma
tional Jamboree at Washington,
d. c., during the last two weeks in
August. These boys will be re-
auired to pay part of the expenses
of the trip, owing to lack OF funos
in the Scout organizations.
In order to help the boys con-
cert will be held Monday evening,
June 18th, at the Methodist church
at eight o'clock, for the purpose OF
raising money to help defray at
least a part of the cost OF the
trip.
The Nelson Novelty Four, an ex-
cellent entertainment company
has been engaged to present the
program. This company features
thirty different instruments, ana
presents a really worthwhile musl-
cal program. Novelty and comedy
numbers offer balance to the SPLEEN
did program.
Both Vernon Weeks and Ricnara
Butler are First Class Scouts ana
have made enviable records In the
lore of Scouting. It is hoped that
a large number of local folk VIII
attend the entertainment, which
features a guaranteed attraction.

Report 4 Inches
OF Rain Sunday
Easements Flooded and Pavement
Under Viaduct Blocked Dur
ing Day-Hail Storm

1t is estimated that four inches
of rain fell in this community on
Sunday morning, during a cloud
burst which flooded Easements and
caused inconvenience to motorists,
who were unable to start their
cars after the deluge had subsid-
ed.
The heavy downpoor caused a
flood at the Great Northern via
duct, where the pavement was COW
cred with about three feet Of wa
ter, making traffic impossible dur
ing most Of the day. Residents of
that district were kept busy pump
ing the water from their base
ments.
A severe hail storm, which did
considerable damage in the neigh
borhood of the G. Swift and Robert
Kinsella farms, west Of Sank Cen
ire, as well as hail in the Free
port vicinity, were reported. The
hail, which fell west of this city,
was not Of large variety but fell
thick and did considerable damage
to the new crops.

TRIP TO MEXICO

Carl Fischer, Phil Steiner, and
e. O. Olson, who left last Satur-
day for Mexico City, Mexico, as
delegates from the local unit OF
the Rotary Club to the Interna-
tional Convention, left the United
States Wednesday. They entered
Mexico on the fifth day of their
trip. Through Kansas and the CEN
trail United States they passed
through the flood areas. The road
they are travelling by car Is COM
pleted to a point about $50 miles
from their destination. A stretch
in the mountains about seventy
miles long lies uncompleted, be-
tween this road and the road from
Mexico City. This stretch will
have to be made either by airplane
or by train. The boys intend to
make a stay of about five days in
Mexico City.

TEST MADE THURSDAY
Council Defers Action-Con-
tractor Granted Time
Until July
L. L. Hyde, represe

L. L. Hyde, representative Of
the r. J. O'Neil Contracting Co.,
of st. Paul, and H. J. Hagestad, of
Starbuck, the City's engineer,
were in the city Thursday, June
9Th, to conduct the test Of the out
fall sewer at the municipal disposal
plant. The test, which was made at
five o'clock that afternoon, reveal
ed no material reduction of infil-
tration.
1t will be remembered that the
test made several months ago re-
vealed leakage in the sewer of
1885 gallons per minute, and at
that time is was stated that usage
Of the sewer would aid in elimin-
ating the leakage. The test Thurs
day showed infiltration Of II gal
Ions per minute.
At an informal meeting of the
Council, held following the test,
the City's engineer advised six
gallons as the maximum leakage
allowed in a sewer of this kind.
The Council agreed not to accept
the sewer until the proper repairs
are made, and the infiltration is
reduced materially.
The representative Of the coll
tracing company asked for fur
Their time which was granted. He
stated that they will send some
sewer rats to this city in an at
tempt to discover and repair the
leaks. The Council then deferred
action in the matter until some
time in July.
This outfall sewer is 1850 feet
long and is laid under water. The
sewer is that part of the disposal
plant which was not accepted and
for the guaranteed repair OF
which $500 was withheld from
the contractors price. 1t is posi-
BILE that another measurement OF
seepage will be taken sometime in
July.

gesser, who made the arrange
ments for the advertising Wednes-

that the show has been held to the
high standard of former years. 1t
is a good circus, not of the largest
in the world variety. but of suffic-

Local Folk Enjoy
Auto Tour South
Necessary To DetOur Through
Flood Area of Kansas
Heavy Rains Reported

Mr.. and Mrs. v. T. Conkhn re-
turned Sunday forenoon from a
weeks business trip to Wichita
Falls, Texas, which carried them
HOO miles through several states.
They were accompanied by Miss
Ruth Iverson.
The HOO mile course they made
in two days despite the fact that
through the flood areas Of Kansas
it was necessary to detour in var
ious places to get around the
worst sections. Some towns in
that state are still inaccessible ex-
cept by airplane-all car and rail-
road traffic is still completely tied
up. Throughout the entire trip Mr..
Conklin observed that the sections
had had plenty Of rainfall. In
Lawrence, Kansas, he heard the
report that during the high water
a filling station was six feet under
the flood waters. In those areas
vestiges still remain of the flood.
Trees are to be seen floating down
the swollen rivers and deposits of
silt may be seen along the road
ways. The heavy rains have made
for late crops. Some of the cotton
is not yet in in Texas, but up to
the middle of this month is ample
time.
MIR. Conklin was impressed with
the cleanliness of such large cities
as Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
whose white and yellow brick
buildings are unstained by coal
smoke. Everything Is heated with
gas thus eliminating the dirt we
have in the North.
In Texas is the rattle snake ter
ritory, and it Is not rare indeed to
see eight or ten snake heads
hanging on the fences to dry.
Everything is much farther along
than here, of course. The grain Is
now being harvested and the
peaches are ripening on the trees.
The cotton is later this year due to
the heavy rains. They saw some
cotton though, which resembled
small raspberry bushes, just COM
ing out of the ground. In the
South they seem to have no use
for straw, and in harvesting grain
they use a header and leave the
straw as fertilizer on the fields.
Cattle and horses are left to Craze
outdoors the year around and
very few barns are to be found.
Hay is neither stacked nor put in
side to cure. It is cured in the
pastures where the animals Craze
continually. The trip was, Mr..
Conklin said, lesson in geogra-
ply.

For Wool of
Local Pool
$500 Pounds Purchased
During the Two De-
livery Days
TROUBLES DEVELOPED
Buyer Arrested For Operat-
ing Without License
Trial Saturday

Wool delivery days were held in
Sank Centre June 6 and Z, at
which time $500 pounds of WOO.
were purchased by S. SHERMAN &
Sons, Of Chicago, Illinois, who had
contracted to purchase the Sank
Centre Wool Growers Association
pool at 81 cents for No. /, IS cents
for No. 2, and % cents for No. 8
wool. The largest share Of this
wool was purchased during the
first delivery day. The total amount
paid out for wool was about $13,-
300.
The officers of the association
did all in their power to make the
pool a success, and from all ap-
pearances it was destined to be
one of the largest pools in the
state. Growers from all over this
part of the state and as far west
as the Dakotas brought wool ship
ments to the local pool.
The price of wool had dropped
considerably before the pool OPP
ened, and growers were anxious to
dispose of their clip at the excel
lent price offered locally. 1t is al
legged that the buyer, Dave Stern,
began to stall in buying, and this
precipitated trouble. Officers of
the association Immediately called
County Attorney Burns and Sher-
iff McIntee to this city, the former
to see if the contract which they
held was valid, and the latter to
maintain peace.
When the buyer was asked If he
intended to carry out the terms of
the contract, it is alleged that he
stated that he had decided not to
do so, and quit buying at once. He
was taken to st. Cloud immediate.
ly, and charges were placed
against him for dealing in produce
without a license, and for non-ful.
fillment of his contract. Following
his hearing he was released on
bond and the time Of trial was set
for Saturday at st. Cloud.
County Attorney Burns ruled the
contract between the Association
and the buyer valid. Officers of the
Association have done everything
possible to settle the matter in an
orderly way, and they are to he
commended. Arrangements for the
1896 pool are now being planned by
the officers.

Community Night
VIII Be Continued
Plan to Provide Extra Parking
Space for Cars in City
Saturday Night

At a meeting of the Sank Centre
Community Club Tuesday night,
which was attended by twenty-five
business men, it was voted to con-
tinue Community Night for anoth-
err month, following the close Of
next Saturday nights event.
This event has proven itself
quite successful, and as a result
has developed parking problem
for Saturday nights. The club de-
cided to ask the City Council to
place additional lights in the al
leys for this purpose, and also to
contact the School Board for the
use of the school playground for
parking space, from eight o'clock
on. This will not interfere with
kittenball games, which are play
ed there each evening.
The plan includes the hiring Of
a man to direct parking at the
school playground and to remain
as Waterman until ten o'clock.
Other propositions, such as pro-
per drainage at the viaduct and
the matter of disseminating the
storm sewer which runs into the
bay at the park, were discussed,
but no action was taken. The bay
at the park has been used as a
bass pond, but owing to the fact
that the storm sewer was directed
there, it is impossible to use it for
the purpose of bass propagation.
The oily and dirty water follow
ing storms also prove a detriment
to the excellent bathing beach on
which considerable money has
been spent during the past few
years.

AAACOntracts
Not Invalidated
Supreme Court Decision Has No
Bearing on Voluntary Con-
tracts Under Act

With the supreme court decision
concerning the activities of the N.
r. A. several farmers having A. A.
A. contracts have already asked at
the County Agents office at st.
Cloud whether or not the results
Of that decision might not inval-
idate the contracts that they are
now holding. The following state
ment issued by Secretary Wallace
on June s with the approval Of
President Roosevelt will be of in
terest.
I'm cooperation with leaders Of
Congress, amendments to the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act are be-
ing perfected which are intended
to bring the Acts provisions as to
marketing agreements and icens-
es into the line with the Schechter
case decision and also to safe
guard the farmers voluntary ad-
justment program on basic COM
modities."
The important difference be-
tween the A. A. A. adjustment con-
tracts and the various N. r. A.
cases is that all of the adjustment
contracts are voluntary. No farm
er in the U. s., in Minnesota, or in
Stearns county, was ever forced to
60 into a reduction contract with
the Secretary of Agriculture or
any of the A. A. A. programs. All
of the folks who entered into such
agreements in Stearns county and
elsewhere did so voluntarily. For
that reason it is hardly possible
that any decision Of the higher
courts might invalidate the A. A.
A. contracts. The same cannot be
said of the various activities OF
the N. r. A.
Undoubtedly in the future there
will be some more programs in
connection with the A. A. A. Re
Gently a wheat referendum vote
was conducted among contract
signers over the u. s. and the pro-
gram carried by an overwhelming
vote. Here in Stearns county
vote of more than 81 in favor of
continuance of the work was cast.
A number of people in the wheat
section at Washington are now
preparing the new contract to be
offered to wheat farmers in this
area for the year beginning 1886.

Second Three.Day
Encampment Closed
Girl Scouts Enjoyed Pleasant
Time At Dubois Cottages
At Fairy Lake

Wednesday evening the second
three-day encampment of the To-
cal Girl Scouts drew to a close.
The younger Scouts were the oc-
cupants of the camp held at the
Dubois cottages this week. Last
week the older girls pioneered the
camp and paved the way for the
younger members.
On Monday Mrs. Lewis, of Will
mar, who is Camp Inspector of
this District, visited the camp and
passed her approval on the order
set up. Miss Jaeger, an experience
ed camp director, filled that pos
ition for the two encampments.
The girls stressed handicraft and
the phases of camp life and car
ried out a well-organized plan of
activities daily. There were about
twenty girls that took part in each
camp.
Troop leaders and sponsors are
well satisfied over the success of
the whole affair. It is the plan to
carry out the project to even a
larger extent next year.
