F. H. Walker Has Taken Over
Complete Ownership of
Main Street Garage
COMPLETED LAST WEEK
Ben Carpenter Disposed Of
Interests In Large Firm
To Partner

During the past week most i'm
portant change in business man.
agement took place in this city
when Ben Carpenter disposed of his
interests in the Main Street Chew
rolet Co., and the Sank Centre
Beer Co., to his partner, F. H
Walker. The deal was consummat-
ed last Saturday and went into ef-
feet as of February LIST, 1896.
Through this deal Mr.. Walker
becomes the sole owner of the bus
mess, which he announced will he
conducted along the same lines as
in the past. He will continue the
Chevrolet Motor sales and service
as we'll as the beer business.
This firm, with Messrs. Carpen-
ter and Walker as owners, was or

came one Of the prosperous and
large business firms of the city,
They later purchased the excellent
garage building, erected by the
Otto Bros, some years ago.
Mr.. Carpenter has not announced
his plans for the future, but re-
vealed that he had definite ideas
as to the business which he plan
ned to conduct. He left on Friday
for Los Angeles, Cal, to look over
a business possibility, however, has
not divulged as to whether he in
tends to remain in the West or not.
Mr.. Carpenter was accompanied
on the motor trip to the West by
his son, Orville, and H. 8. HaNer-
son and Oscar Holmberg. They in
tend to remain for about three
weeks before returning to Sank
Centre.
Mr.. Carpenter has many friends
in this community, who hope that
the change will not take him away
from Sank Centre, and who extend
best wishes for success to the new
owner, Mr.. Walker.

Take sos Calls
In One Hour
Telephone Exchange Does Land
Office Business During
Blizzard Tuesday

Even with the cold experienced
in the community this winter there
Is one business that does an in
creased turnover and thrives in
such conditions. With temperatures
Sinking scarcely within throwing
distance Of the zero mark, the OPP
orators at the local Telephone ex-
change are busy as bees, according
to chief operator, Miss Kriesel.
Tuesday of this week during the
hour between 10 and II in the
morning sos local calls were hand
led through the local board. This
Is inclusive of local and farm line
conversations. One operator, who
handled 300 Of the number, oper-
ated at a rate Of five calls per min
ute, while the other operator hand
ling about 200 of these calls was
also in charge Of long distance dur
ing that time. The total average
for the hour with both operators
was more than eight calls during
each minute. This number, sos, re-
presents only about twenty per cent
of the total days local calls, hav-
ing 1910 calls for the entire day.
This is not the heaviest load the
operators have carried, but it gives
an idea of the work they do. Each
operator Is expected to handle be-
tween 100 and 200 calls each hour
Of the day. One occasion surpassed
any such number mentioned above
the morning that the twins were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Tom.
Trouble with the lines is also a
matter Of concern in this weather.
Wednesday Manager Forsyth was
called on the toll lead to Glenwood.
Going by car as far as Westport,
he was forced by the drifted snow
to abandon the car in favor of
horses and sled hired from a farm
er. Under this means of transport
tation he was able to reach the
damaged line and make the re-
pairs.

How To Evade Poultry Dis.

Cora Cooke
CULLING NEXT LESSON
Meetings Were Held At Sank
Centre, st. Cloud, Brooten
And Richmond

How to dodge cocidiosis, worms
and other pitfalls of chick-rearing
was explained to 40 poultry pro-
ject leaders who attended training
meetings held at Sank Centre, St
Cloud, Richmond and Brooten last
Tuesday to Friday. Mrs. Botz
county chairman, visited the Sank
Centre and Brooten meetings
County home demonstration agent
Moan Anderson, reported that
among the groups making definite
numberical reports, 81 hen houses
had been insulated, 116 non-waste
feeders have been constructed, 29s
families have been helped outside
Of the 461 enrolled and many other
changes have been made in the
farm poultry organizations as a re-
suit Of the poultry project carried
by 80 groups in the county.
Miss Cora Cooke, extension poul.
try specialist, University Farm
presented the lesson, emphasizing
ways Of making chicks live and
grow to healthy and productive
maturity. Sanitation was especial
ly emphasized by Miss Cooke in
her discussion Of Chick Rearing
Certain diseases are carried over
in the soil from year to year, max
ing it dangerous and sometimes i'm
possible to rear chicks on ground
that has been used for even one
year previous" Miss Cooke said. To
avoid trouble, she recommended
portable brooder houses moved to
a clean spot each year. BY fencing

vide clean range. In many cases

yard will need to be moved fire.
quently each growing season to
furnish continuous supply OF
green feed. This method, called the
Sanitation Plan, has proven very
successful in controlling cocidiosis
and worms and also helps to control
tuberculosis.
Rations for growing chicks were
given an important place in the
discussion. It was brought out that
well balanced rations may be mixed
at home much cheaper than equally
good commercial rations can be
purchased. The necessity Of feeding
well balanced ration continuous
ly to keep the chicks growing and
to bring the pullets into laying at
the right time in the fall, was also
stressed.
Care of chicks in the brooder
house, regulation of heat, and the
training of chicks to prevent
crowding and to establish desirable
habits were given attention.
Inexpensive, homemade feeders
costing a few cents and instruc-
tions for making them were given
the leaders. Leaders were enthus-
iastic about this as an easv and in
expensive means OF providing all
Of the feeding space needed. Miss
Cooke emphasized the importance
Of giving every chick a chance at
the feed, stating that with arrlo
feeding space even the weak chicks
have a chance to GROW normally.
The next leaders meeting will be

FOURTH INSTALMENT

Dan hung up and stepped out Of
the booth. He fished a cigarette
from his pack and lighted it. The
thing grew more complicated. Blu
thinking back he could detect nc
error on his part. He had thai
package, and that was okay! Col
well thought it was working al
right. This case ought to be profit
able.
His taxicab drew up to the som<
what battered canvas canopy whose
begrinned white letters spelled Ken

driver and paused on the sidewalk
to gaze about him. The Kennebee

been fashionable as attested by the
few sprawling mansions which still
evaded the wreckers. Mostly there
were other lower middle class apart

thoroughly mystified.

planned nothing but his hate. "I'l

keys, a notebook containing moth

in bills and some small change, and
a slip of paper in his vest with his
fountain pen.
"That's it! Gimme it," Quillen
snatched it. He backed away and
smoothed the paper. His hard eye,
