Farm Stored
Grain Loans
ToBe Issued
J. M. Miller, Sank Centre,
Chairman Of County
Warehouse Board
WILL SEAL GRAIN BINS
One Cent Per BuShel Will Be
Deducted To Cover
Sealing Costs

Loans on farm stored grain and
corn will be made available in
Stearns county with the assistance
Of the county warehouse board re-
Gently organized at Melrose. The
members Of this board are as fol-
lows: J. M. Miller, Sank Centre;
Mike Essler, Sank Centre; VIM.
Bernard, Cold Spring; Fred 0.
Schultz, Paynesville; M. Zaczkow-
ski, Belgrade. The entire member
ship Of the board have been ap-
pointed by the Railroad and Ware
house Commission as members Of
the warehouse board and have also
been appointed as official sealers
for the county.
At the organization meeting at
Melrose, J. M. Miller was named
chairman, VIM. Bernard, vice chair
man; E. c. Lenzmeier, secretary;
and Fred o. Schultz, treasurer. The
secretary is not member Of the
board and has no voting power and
is not qualified to seal grain. All
of the other members, however,
are under bond and are ready to
seal grain bins at this time. Appli-
cation for a warehouse certificate
and the sealing of grain should be
made to the secretary or to any of
the board members. All of the
board members and the secretary
are authorized to require 50 fee
to pay for the cost of sealing the
grain bin. This does not mean that
there is flat charge of 81 for
sealing but probably the average
of a great number will average
about that price. At the time the
loan is made 1c per bushel will be
deducted by the warehouse board
to cover sealing charges. The por-
ton of this one cent remaining at
ter the expenses of the board have
been paid will be refunded to par
ties making the loans. In Southern
Minnesota when corn loans were
made for the past several years
the cost of handling these loans by
the county warehouse board was
about one-fourth cent per bushel.
The remaining three-fourths cent
was refunded to parties making
the loans.
The county warehouse board as
appointed by the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission does not
make loans, they merely issue
warehouse certificates and seal the
grain bins. Loans are available
through the st. Cloud Production
Credit Association which loans up
to 70 per cent Of the value Of the
grain. Banks and other agencies
are in many cases making loans Of
this kind with the warehouse GER
tificates as security. Under the
plan the warehouse board is to
make a re-inspection Of the grain
as stored on farms every 90 days
to make sure that it Is still in pro-
per shape to apply as security for
a loan. When the official sealer
makes the inspection and takes q
sample Of the grain along for
grading, the bin is boarded up so
that no removal is likely and the
official seal is placed on the bin
which is a warning against grain
removal and tampering with the
bin.
The official sealers as mentioned
above are well scattered through
out the grain growing areas Of
Stearns county and applicants
making applications for loans
through any of the sealers should

Home Burned at
Padua Sunday
Saulk Centre Fire Department Call
ed-House observation-disclosures
hold Goods Saved

Sank Centres fire department
was called to Padua Sunday to ex-
tinguish a fire at the home Of
Mike Killeen, who resides one mile
south of Padua. There was no one
at home at the time and when the
fire was discovered 1t had gained
such Roadway that 1t was impossi-
BILE to save the house.
The alarm was turned in at six
o'clock and It was well into the
night before the department COM
pleted its work. There was a splen-
did supply Of water on hand. The
fire evidently started upstairs and
continued downward between the
walls, which made it quite ted
ious job for the department The
house, which was practically des-
troyed, was partly covered by in
surance.
Much Of the household goods was
saved. This was made possible by
the fact that the fire started up
stairs. The house was Of brick
veneer construction.

Excellent Fishing Re-
ported on Sank Lake
Large Bass Biting Exceptionally
Well-Several Good Catches
and Limits Reported

There are tall tales going around
regarding the angling opportunit-
les afforded at this time Of the
year. But here's few examples
that aren't classed as tall stories,
but as actual facts. Sank Lake is
getting good, the fishermen report.
Last Friday evening DR.. M. q.
Franta went out and snagged him.
self several nice pickerel, but the
catch Of the day was a four-pound
black bass. Mark" proudly dis
played the catch to all who were
around. Lawrence Dolson and Leo
Hedin found the fish not biting so
well, but Lawrence snagged a nine
pound pike, which Is fair catch,
indeed. Sunday morning John Han
sen and Harold Gray went out on
Sank Lake and John reports a
black bass which weighed four
pounds and measured eighteen in
ches long and fourteen inches in
girth. He weighed it on Harold's
handy scales which John claims
are wrong. He claims it should
have weighed closer to four and a
half. Here's probably the prize
winner Of the week. L. A. Walker
and partner went out on Sank
Lake last Saturday morning and
each Of them returned with their
limit of black bass ranging in
weight up to four pounds.

Will Stage Musical Comedy Some
time Following the Holidays
Orchestra Accompaniment

Supt. w. A. Kohl plans the or
ganization of a community mixed
chorus this fall and would like to
have those people, who are sing
ers, and who are interested, to get

which was successful and did such
excellent work in the minstrel
show during the winter.
Mr.. Kohl would like to organize
the chorus as soon as possible as
he plans on staging a musical COM

Miss Moe, music instructor at the
public school, is also organizing an

splendid ventures and should re-
ceive the cooperation of all who
can play instruments or sing.

Local Eleven Lost
First Gridiron Tilt
Melr0se Roamed the Field At VIII
Game Ended With Final
Score so to o

On last Friday afternoon the
final whistle found the local high
school football team showed under
by Melrose with the final tally
standing at so to o. With Belling-
er, Graham, and Egan, last year
veterans, the team found them
selves in a tight spot with only
new men. The spirit of the team
was broken by these losses.
Play was consistently in Sank
Centres territory and Melrose
marched across our goal line eight
times, capitalizing on the try for
point on only two occasions. At
no time was Sank Centre in posi-
ton to work for scoring position.
While Melrose made first down
after first down, the locals were
unable to weedle even one out dur
ing the encounter.
The first quarter began with the
Melrose kickoff. The locals receiv-
ed and ran the ball back, still in
their own territory. Failing in the
succession of downs to make the
proper yardage, they were forced
to punt. Melrose started on the
first march eliminating in a goal.
Following a succession Of line
plays they broke into a series Of
passes, and it was one Of these
completed passes that netted their
first touchdown. The second quar-
ter was similar. The locals found
1t difficult to make any yardage,
and were forced to punt on nearly
every occasion they got the ball.
They resorted to several passes
which netted them little field. The
score at the half stood IS to 0.
The second half found the locals
in a little better frame Of mind,
and they did on occasions gain
some ground with their running
plays, but it was still insufficient
to gain much Roadway. Following
two touchdowns in the third quar-
ter, Coach Harvey threw in his sec
ond string stuff in several positions
to give them a needed workout.
Vandesteeg, LUX, Bohn and M.
Arvig went in on line positions,
while David Dubois, Rattle, and
Pangburn filled in in the back
field. When the score approached
the fifty mark, Sank Centre threw
in the last of their reserves. Young
fellows ranging from the eighth
grade to freshmen. These boys real
Nv showed the pep, and for a
bunch of youngsters showed I'M
usually good headwork. They cap
italized on several breaks which
pushed them forward twenty yards.
The first was when they completed
a pass. Keeping the ball they
found themselves about eight yards
short on the last down. Attempting
a punt, which was short, the team
was all in a heap waiting for 1t to
come down. 1t touched a Melrose
PLAYER. but with the whole team
clawing on him he missed 1t. Sank
Centre recovered. and In a few
PLAYS the final whistle sounded the
end of the game.
On next Friday the outfit motors
to Albany for the second game OF
the schedule, and the week follow
ing we play at Alexandria. The
next home game Is not until on

Two WPA
Projects Are
Approved
Work on City's Streets and
Repairing of Library Books
Listed This Week
PART OF BIG PROGRAM
Will Provide Work For Good
ly Number of Local
People

Two more Sank Centre work pro
jects have been approved by Victor
Christgau, state WPA administra-
tor at st. Paul, and are now in
the hands of Washington authorit-
ies for their approval. These are a
part Of $132,0OO,OO0 in projects
from every county Of the state
which have been rushed to st.
Paul before the deadline.
The first project listed is for
grading the city's. streets with a
federal outlay Of $3.50, and a To-
cal expenditure Of $1,316. This in
cludes practically all of the streets
in the city; a general repair pro-
ject, with work planned where 1t
is most needed. The second project
is for repairing library books, with
federal expenditure Of $4,000 and
$3.50 locally sponsored. This pro-
ject will include repair work on
books at the public library, the
school library and at the eleven
rural schools, which are members
Of the rural library service. The
work will be done by local labor
and will be cared for at the Bryant
library.
In less than three days the state
WPA administrator placed his
signature on $82,OOO,O00 in public
improvements and enterprises for
Minnesota. More than $4,000, 600
previously had been submitted.
Enough work is provided in the
applications, it is estimated, to give
steady employment for year to
$4,000 persons now on relief.
OF the aggregate funds asked by
Minnesota, $92.744,OOO would go to
labor. About SO, Zoo, 900 Of which a
little more than SIT, 10000 would
be contributed by sponsoring agen-
cies, would be spent for materials
and equipment. Federal funds alone
would amount to approximately
Sis, 100000.
In this weeks group Of projects
from Minnesota were 2.019, repre-
senting every county in the state.
Largest Of them was a $26, 100, 900
statewide plan for the demolition
Of unsafe and absolete rural schools
to be replaced by modern structur-
es. Every county also would share
in this proposal to put nearly 3d.
900 persons on steady jobs during
the coming year.
With the preliminary work of
getting the Minnesota program
definitely shaped for Washington's
approval out Of the way, Christgau
said, I'VE are ready to take over a
part Of the states relief load which
has been assigned to us as soon
as the funds are allocated by
Washington.
"The response given us by every
county in the state assures Mime
sofa Of its full quota Of relief.
Though we cannot expect to get the
full amount asked, we are conf
dent of approval Of a sufficient
number to give every employable
man and woman a job during the
next year. Communities have
shown wonderful initiative In
drawing up a large variety Of pro-
jects which not only adapt them
selves to all kinds Of working con-
ditions, but also provide an outlet
for all the various trades, crafts
and professions.
