The second guest of honor was
Bobby Feller of the Cleveland
Indians. Anyone who is up on
baseball will know of Bob Feller,
ID year old farm boy from Iowa.
1 quote: During his first season
with the Cleveland team, which
he joined late in the season, he
-equaIled the major strike-out re-
cord of II in a single nine-inning
game. This record is "tops" for
both the American and National
leagues" All of the Alters, I
know, were pleased to have talk
from Bob Feller because he lives
on a farm and is one of our own
age.
The program continued with an
organ solo, the Hammond Electric
Pipeless, by Porter Heaps; Music
by Chicago's Philomel Ladies
Chorus; Address by Mr. Edward
Foss Wilson, president of Wilson
and Co.; Music by Chicago's Nor

All of our programs were
equally as good although none of
them were quite so long. The Will
son Company entertained us from
4 until. $50; this was a continuous
program so, of course, all of us
missed part of it while we went
to dinner. A
Too much can not be said for
DR.. Thomas e. Wilson and his son,
MIR. Edward Foss Wilson who de-
vote so much time, effort and

week; friendships between every
4-H'er present at the National
Club Congress, between leaders,
between business men. The
friendship of these business peo-
pie of Chicago particularly inn
pressed me. They were such fine
hosts, so hospitable, and they
really were our friends. These
men and women were so genuine,
so sincere, that everyone Of US
who met them felt at ease. Al
though many Of them held very,

very responsible positions and
were wealthy, we didn't think Of
those things; we just thought Of
them as friends, someone who II
was fun to be with and whom we
hoped enjoyed us as much as we
did them.
But am extremely happy to be
home again with my parents and
friends. New experiences are all
ways exciting and lots OF fun, but
after all, it is home that really
counts.

scils.
We visited the Art Institute
that morning; this was very en-
joyable as we had such an en-
thusiastic guide for our group.
Among the many pictures viewed,
was the original "Song of the
Lark"
After luncheon we said good
bye to many of the Minnesota
group who were. leaving that af-
ternoon, then a group of us went
shopping. Before dinner that eve
ming we said goodbye to the other
Minnesota Alters and it was a
lonely dinner compared to those
we had had before when 63 Min
nesota boys and girls were pres
ent.
On Thursday evening I had the
unusual honor of speaking before
a group of Chicago business men
at the Saddle and Sirloin Club.
Mr.. Thomas E. Wilson was the
host at this dinner. Winton VIII
son of Iowa who was high man on
the Iowa non-collegiate livestock
judging team which won first at
the livestock exposition was the
other 4-Her who was asked to
speak before these men. I was
asked to give a short talk on my
All club work and Winton told
these men how he went about

which to demonstrate the points
he wished to make. Besides a
good dinner at this exclusive club
and the honor and privilege Of re-
presenting the All girl and boy of
America, MIR. Wilson gave each Of
us a gift of money.
Friday we did much as we plea
Sed, eating wherever we chose
and shopping. At 8 that after
noon, Fred, Cora Mae, Clayton
and I met with Mr.. George Big
ger, Promotional Director of WIS
and Mr.. Pat Barrett, better
known as Uncle Ezra, to plan our
Saturday night broadcast.
Saturday morning and early af-
ternoon was given over to shop
ping. At S p. m. we met at the
Eighth Street Theatre for rehear-
sal previous to the broadcast. At

water hotel. This is a beautiful
room overlooking the waters of
Lake Michigan and we certainly
enjoyed the excellent luncheon
and entertaining program given
us. After luncheon we were
greeted by Sewell L. Avery, pres
ident of the company. A fine pro-
gram followed his address. After
luncheon the girls who did not
have special activities to at
tend went on a tour of Wards
plant. Each girl was presented
two pair Of scissors.
The Club Members Annual
BANQUET was held Tuesday eve
ming at the Grand Ballroom,
Stevens Hotel. AS winner of a
national award, I had the honor
of being seated at the head table.
On my left were seated Mr.. Ed
ward Foss Wilson, president of
Wilson and Company and Miss
Gertrude L. Warren of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture; on my
right were Mr.. Jameson Of Mont
gomery Ward and Company and
Miss Mary Murphy, Director,
Elizabeth Mccormick Memorial
Fund. They were most enjoyable
dinner companions.
I suppose you are wondering
what we had to eat at these var
ious banquets and luncheonS. Be-
cause this was Annual banquet, I
shall give you the menu from this
banquet as follows: Fresh Fruit
Cocktail Floridiene; Cream Of To-
matoes AUX Croutons; Celery En-
Branche, Ripe and Queen Olives;
Roast Sirloin Of Beef, Sauce Bor-
delaise, Potatoes Au Gratin,
String Beans au beurre; Hearts Of
Lettuce, Thousand Island Dress
ing; Ice Cream Fantaisie, Illumin-
ated, Petit Fours; Milk. The ice
cream was tinted green and mold
ed into large 4-leaf clovers. When
it was brought in, the lights were
turned off, and it was indeed a
beautiful scene as the walters en-
tered carrying the Illuminated
dessert.
We were photographed at this
banquet, too. You may have seen
the picture of Frederick Reichart
of Indiana, who was the boy to
receive the Presidents Trophy
and me; this picture was taken
during the annual banquet.
! Mr.. P. c. Taft of Iowa State
College presided at the program
A letter from President Roosevelt
was read and the main speaker ol
the evening, Mr.. David Sarnofl
was introduced. AS I was being
photographed during most of the
introduction, I am sorry that
/ cannot tell you much about Mr.
! Sarnoff. AS a young man he came
from Russia to the United States
he was penniless. He was the ra.
dio operator who got the message
from the sinking Titanic. Nov

breakfast over to the Congress
Hotel where Fred. Reichart, the
winners of the Moses Trophy for
Leadership, Cora Mae Briggs OF
Nebraska and Clayton Moses Of
Oregon, and I met an official Of

pany. We were taken by taxi to
the International Harvester Plant
where we waited until the other
Alters arrived, then led the tour
through the Tractor Works, then
to the Mccormick Yards where a
photograph was made of the en-
tire group. They we proceeded on
an educational tour through the
Mccormick twine mill, then on to
the luncheon.
One of the warehouses of the
plant is cleared out each year for
the luncheon. Imagine clearing
out large warehouse for just one
day in order that the company
might give a luncheon there for
us All boys and girls who at
tend the National Club Congress.
Not only was the warehouse
cleared out, but it had been nice
ly decorated.
Fred, Cora Mae, Clayton and I
were seated at the speakers table.
Mr.. S. G. McA1lister, president,
was at my right and Mr.. M. F..
Holahan, First Vice President at

To Pay 90% Of
Agriculture Program
10000 Farmers VIII Participate In
Benefit Payments In
State

Definite arrangements for pay
ment of 800 of the total argicul-
tural conservation payments to
farms in Stearns county, participant
ing in the program are being made.
according to word received from
the state committee by J. NJ. Miller,
chairman Of the county agricultur-
al conservation association here.
The local county chairman said:
1.-THE announcement by the state
committee that 1t has received
word from the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration in Wash
ington that the initial installment
of 900 of the total payments for
the 1886 program will be made as
soon as practicable makes us all
realize how much progress has
been made on this program in
spite of the necessarily late start
on 1t. The old AAA benefit pay
ment program was suddenly inter-
rupted on January 6, 1885, by the
Hoosac Mills decision of the u. 8.
Supreme Court declaring the pro-
gram unconstitutional. It was not
until March that a new program
under the terms of the Soil Conser-
walton and Domestic Allotment Act
could even begin to get under way"
Nevertheless, 10000 farmers in
Minnesota will participate in the
benefit of this first 90A payment
on the 1885 program. The total
amount received by them will be
between $10,00OO00 and $4,000, 900.
In this county there are 1900 far
mers participating who are eligible
for payment. Under the old pro-
gram operating in 1885 there were
10000 farmers participating in Min
nesota, who received a total of
some $15,00O,000. 1t Is plain then,
that there is much larger partici-
patton in the 1896 program and
that more farmers are getting an
opportunity to share In the plan
ming of their future"
Farmers in this county who
have been working closely with the
Agricultural Conservation Program
realize that 1t is highly important
to take time and thought so that
the 1887 program will fit still more
closely the local needs. This year
we had a late start, we have made
real progress, and now the thing to
do is to plan carefully for the 1887
program"
Word from Harry s. Muir, chair
man Of the state committee at st.
Paul, is that the state committee
has established an auditing section
to check applications before sub
mission to the Federal General Ac-
counting Office in st. Paul, where
a final check will be made. The
applications will then be sent to
the disbursing office in Minneapolis
where payments will be authorized
and checks mailed to the treasur-
ers Of the county conservation as
sociations for distribution to the
producers participating in the pro-
gram.

Resolution
We, the undersigned members Of
the Stearns County Democratic
Committee, believe it our duty, as
loyal Democrats, to declare our re-
sentiment and denunciation Of the
recent sell-out of the Democratic
party perpetuated by Candidates
Curtis and Delaney. We believe it
to be one Of the most traitorous
political deals ever consumated in
the State Of Minnesota, and one of
the most damaging and destructive
betrayals ever infected upon a
great party and its loyal rank and
file.
We are aware that the purpose
of this sell-out was to deliver us
over to the Farmer-Labor party at
the polls November 3rd, our trad
itional enemies, whose principles
and policies we have always OPP
posed, without regard for our 10y
atty for and faith in the Democratic
party.
Be it resolved, therefore, that
this committee endorse the candi-
dacy Of Martin Nelson for Cover
nor whom we believe to more near
ly represent the ideals and the pol
icies of Minnesota Democrats.
