Harvest Festival
Tentative Date Selected Depends
Upon Ferris Wheel And
Merry-GO-R Round

Arrangements for the 1887 Har-
vest Festival are well under way,
and tentative date, September
10Th, has been selected for the

of farm, garden and home for the
premium display.
All concessions will be allotted
by the Community Club committee
and those who wish to operate a
concession at the Festival, can now
make arrangements with Walt
Gritzmacher, secretary of the club,
at the Model store.
A meeting of the committee will
be held Friday evening at the club
rooms to which all members of the

or new ideas offered for the sue
cess of the Festival will be welcom-
ed by the committee, said Andrew
Nelson, Tuesday.

From Make
Believe War
Mosquitoes Presented More
Formidable Foe Than The
Friendly Enemy
co. RETURNED SUNDAY
3rd Battalion, Under Com.
mand of Capt. Scott, Swung
Tide of Battle

Mosquitoes presented a more for
midable foe than all the legions Of
the make believe enemy said the
boys Of Company M, 206th Infantry
National Guards, as the insects
poured a relentless attack on the
1900 men in the war games at
Camp Ripley last week. Company
M returned to this city Sunday
morning at $50.
The incessant swarm Of the pest
never ceased their maddening big
push on the boys at the maneuvers.
They came out of the grass in
clouds and for four days their
presence was horror. The only
escape was ducking into pup
tent or swathing the army hat in
yards of mosquito netting.
1t was the Bird battalion of the
streamlined, motorized unit that
swung the tide of battle in the
climax of the war to finally rout
the enemy and win their way to
Camp Ripley-and the quarter
masters tent where their checks
awaited them. 1t was Captain Roy
Scott, of Company M, who COM
manded the Bird battalion in the
illness Of Major Miller, of Long
Prairie. Heading Company M was
Lieutenant Carl Fischer. On the
night of the great push the third
battalion was pulled out of the line
and sent to the right flank. They
made contact with the enemy and
keep it. In the meantime the rest
Of the army swung around to the
rear Of the enemy, and while the
Bird cut off their escape-their other
side was blocked by a bridgeless
Mississippi river-they closed. Sur
render was inevitable.
It was hard work, but most of
the boys would be willing to do 1t
again without the mosquitoes. For
~ hours at one stretch the local
company lay In the woods at fun
mercy of the pests.
Said Captain Scott Of the
maneuvers: "At least they won't
come for another four years."
These maneuvers marked the
games Of one of the four armies
of the United States. It was great
training for the generals who were
called upon for the strategy, but
it's too little training for the men
who have no way Of knowing
what's going on, Scott summed It
up. The games, involving thous-
ands Of men, were the greatest
peace time maneuvers of the
United States army since the World
Wan
Pleasing to such staunch defend
ers Of the vitality Of the National
Guardsmen as against the regular
army troops was the disqualification
record of the two. Scott said that
while there were twice as many
National Guardsmen at the war
games, there were only half as
many hospitalized as there were
regular army men.

Dairy Production
Continues UpWard
Payroll at Creamery For July To-
tailed $17,5O0-35c For Sweet
Cream

Dairy production for the month
of July, continuing its upward
march begun with the return of
good pastures and the promise of
more feed, far exceeded production
Of a year ago, creamery operators
said this week, even as directors of
the Sank Lake Creamery were fac
ed with the problem of relieving
crowded plant conditions.
Paying 35 cents for sweet cream
the payroll Of the Sank Lake
Creamery ran to $17,5O0 for the
month Of July. Butter production.
totaling 62,500 pounds, marched
past last years July figure by $500
pounds. while production is step
ped up, and July marks the first
month that production has exceed
ed any given month in SO, income
from dairy products has not meas
urably increased. When the
break" came last July, prices
scared to high of 80 cents. From
now on to the remainder Of the
year creamerymen expect that
prices and production will contri-
butte to a better average for the
year.
AS production rises directors at
the same meeting that approved
the payroll were confronted with
the fact that operating space OF
the creamery is too small. The
question of new boiler was tabled
and the old one ordered patched
pending the directors decision on
the problem now confronting
them. Cramped quarters of the
present plant it is believed will re-
suit in building a new building
adding an addition, or buying more
space.

Plan Tennis
Tournament
To Include Play In Both Singles
And D0ubles-Players Urged
To Register

AS the summer sports season
goes into the late weeks, tennis
tournament is announced to get I'M
der way in the first matches next
Sunday morning. The tourney will
include matches played in both
singles and doubles, and tennis
players of all ages are urged to
register for the play.
The tourney marking the first
event this summer will be divided
into classes it is believed according
to age groups, so young players
won't be playing against more ex-
perienced racketteers. Boys and
girls will probably be divided in
separate brackets. Make your reg
istration Immediately at Vandes-
teeg's store, so pairings may be
made in time for Sunday. The play
will be held at the Country Club
court.
Possessing only one court, or ra-
Their two so widely separated, has
long made good tournament play
ineffective, observe tennis players.
Now as plans go forward for the
complete rejuvenation of the
country club courts, dormant for
years, it Is felt that II the coopera-
ton Of all tennis players is had the
situation can be remedied. The
plan includes resurfacing the sec
ond Country Club court, the erec-
ton Of new backstops, and general
overhauling Of the present equip
ment. and the possibility that one
court may be lighted in the near
future is not so remote. A conces-
sion at the Stearns County Fair
marked one of the first moves Of
the tennis group to secure funds to
put over the program.

Has No Information
On Farm Tenant Act
Applications Not Yet Available At
County Agents Onice In
st. Cloud

Numerous requests have been
coming to the county agents office
at st. Cloud for information on
the new farm tenancy bill officially
known as the Bankhead-Jones
Farm Tenant Act. This act Con-
gress approved on July 20, 1887,
but no definite information has
reached the county agents office
as to how this particular act will
operate. Under the act an appro-
priation of ten million dollars Is
needed to start the program for the
first year with twenty five million
dollars available for the second
year and fifty million dollars for
the third year. To begin with this
amount is so small that probably
not more than twenty-five or thirty
tenant farmers Of Stearns county
can be Accommodated during that
three year PERIOD With about
sixteen hundred tenant farmers in
the county it necessarily follows
that only a very limited number
will be able to take advantage OF
this new act.
Under the plan only tenant far
mers and farm laborers who have
recently obtained the major portion
of their income from farming oper-
atoms shall be eligible to take ad-
vantage of the act. In making
available the benefits Of this act,
the Secretary of Agriculture shall
give preference to persons who are
married, or who have dependent
families, or, wherever practicable,
to persons who are able to make an
initial down payment, or who are
owners of livestock and farm i'm
plements necessary successfully to
carry on farming operations. No
person shall be eligible who Is not
a citizen of the u. 8. No loan shall
be made for the acquisition Of any
farm unless it is Of such size as
the Secretary determines to be suf-
ficient to constitute an efficient
farm-management unit and to en-
able a farm family to carry on
successful farming Of a type which
the Secretary deems can be sue
cessfully carried on in the locality
in which the farm is located.
In each county in which this
farm tenant activity is carried on
the Secretary Of Agriculture win
appoint a committee of three far
mNers residing in the county. The
committee will meet at the call of
the county agent, examine applica-
tons, which have been filed with
the county agent, examine and ap-

the Fred Mossman farm. The road
to Grey Eagle turns to the left al
that corner, and It forms a T with
a road leading to the lake to the

cording to the Doctor Laura Ella

Chris. WeHe Has
NesU Poultry Breed
Marketed New Hampshire Reds
With Good Results
Wednesday

Considerable interest has been
manifested by poultry raisers in a
new breed Of chickens, the New
Reds, and hence we
publish the following information
received from L. T. Lovik, manager
of Swift & Co.'s poultry plant in
this city.
The New Hampshire Reds are a
very heavy breed of chickens,
which were brought to this COM
during the past year. This
breed has been in existence in the
East for the past three years, but
owing to scarcity was not obtain
able in the West until last year.
Chris. Welle, Of New Munich,
who has developed flock Of the
New Hampshire Reds, brought 20
birds to this city Wednesday, and
they brought over $4,000. The birds
averaged 5h pounds each through
out the whole flock, while some Of
them weighed as much as six
pounds. These birds were four
months and three weeks old.
Besides being a good market
bird, Mr.. Welle says they are good
layers. His pullets, now about five
months old, are laying about IS to
As percent.
Feed costs on the cockerels sold,
Mr.. Welle said, amounted to be-
tween 40 and As cents per bird,
while each bird netted a total Of
about $1.16 each.
These, however, were not the
first birds marketed in this city,
for Mr.. Welle sold some of them
earlier this year. At that time he
was advised to hold them until
they became heavier and could
command a better price, which he
