Country Club
Seeks New Ideas
Will Hold Public Discussion Meet
ing Friday Evening at
at 8 O'clock

Faced with the renewed problem
Of financing the emptied treasury
of the Country Club, directors of
the organization will seek new ideas
and suggestions in a public dis
cussion meeting arranged for Fri
day evening of this week at 8
o'clock in the Community Club
rooms.
In announcing the meeting Presi-
dent l.. L. Kells stated that no con-
tributions nor pledges would be
asked at this meeting. What we
want are IDEAS" he stated.
The meeting, to which everyone
interested in playing golf or in see
ing the continued operation of the
Country Club, was called to dis
cuss ways and means of financing.
A consideration of the present
schedule of dues is to be raised at
the meeting. Several plans have
already been cited, and will be
presented for approval for the golf
enthusiasts who attend the meet
ing. A recent checkup with sur
rounding clubs have revealed that
the Sank Centre clubs dues are
lowest. Officers and directors are
anxious that all golfers and others
interested in this project attend to
offer suggestions.

Lime, Mari
Available To
All Farmers
Soils Conservation Program
Arranged To Help Build
Up Lands
MARL 15C CUBIC YARD
Payment At Rate of $1.00
Per Acre Provided For
Purpose

A number of farmers living on
sandy soils and others who have
soils that are deficient in lines
will be interested in taking advan-
tage Of plans under the soils con-
ments for the application of lime
and mari, said County Agent Ed
Lenzmeier. In Stearns county
much of the land in the eastern
townships and other sandy land Of
the county is in need of lime and
it would be improved for the
growing Of legume crops with the
addition Of that material. There
are no limestone quarries in the
county and lime would have to be
shipped in by truck or carload
from the Twin Cities. This is not
advisable since such large deposits
Of mari are available in various
townships of the county.
Last fall the relief projects were
carried on to dig out a tremendous
amount Of the mari and store this
material on high ground so that 1t
could be moved away to other
farmers by truck or team. This
mari is located in Maine Prairie
township on the Brewer farm, six
miles northwest of Kimball, on the
Frank Schmid farm about 81
miles south of Avon and on the
John Buttweiler farm mile
southwest of Avon. At least 5000
cubic yards are available at these
three points. Farmers going in on
the soils conservation program can
buy this mari at the stock pile
from the owner at 15c cubic yard.
1t Is generally assumed that two
cubic yards equal one ton of lime
stone. Where a limestone applica-
ton Of two tons per acre seems
necessary four cubic yards of mari
should be used. Mari has the ad-
vantage in being made available
quicker in the soil than ground
limestone because the particles are
very much smaller. A payment at
the rate of $1.OO an acre Is provid-
ed for the application of the lime
material such as ground limestone
or mari.
These payments come under
payments. Farmers going in on the
program should ask those helping
them with the application to de-
termine what their soil building
allowance is. That Is arrived at by
adding the acres in the soil con-
serving base and all extra acres in
soil conserving crops plus acreage
that might be seeded to soil con-
serving crops in 1887. This sum
multiplied by 81 an acre is the soil
building allowance. The soil build
ing allowance can be earned in
several different ways. 1t might be
earned by the seeding of soil con-
serving grass seed, by the use of
commercial fertilizer, or by the use
of mari on land. In no case can it
exceed the total number Of dollars
derived by the method indicated
above.

Herman Peterson, ZOE Oak st.,

1887, at the age Of II years, 8
months and days. About eight
years ago he suffered an accident
to his eyes, which eventually
caused blindness. For five years he
was totally blind, this being caused
from lime which got into his eyes.
Last fall he contracted pneumonia
from which he did not fully recov-
err.
Mr.. Peterson, the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Peterson, one Of a fam
lily Of six children was born near
Ostmark, Varmland, Sweden, Nov

left that country for the land of
promise, and after a perilous trip
of thirteen weeks on a sailing ship
landed in Quebec, Canada, from
where they freighted to Waconia,
MINI. The family remained in that
community for some time, while
the father and grown sons pro-
ceeded on foot in search Of a
homestead, which they staked out

w. P. A. Project
WPA Officials Attended Meeting
In This City Monday
Evening

At a meeting Of the Common
Council held Monday evening it
was proposed to foster at least
three w. p. A. projects within the
near future. Possibly the most ex-
tensive Of these projects is the
widening Of Third Street, which
may be a reality under the w. p.
A. program. Other projects are the
laying Of a sewer in the neighbor-
hood Of the park and planting trees
in the park.
These questions were discussed
with w. p. A. officials Monday ev-
ening. Representatives Of the w.
p. A. present were p. J. Lemm. e.
e. Farrell and Mr.. Pearson. None
OF these projects are definite as
yet. as details and plans will have
to be worked out with the w. p. A.
office. Other matters pertaining to
relief were discussed at the meet

Voters Asked to Cast Ballot
On School Issue Saturday

issue for the erection of a modern
and adequate senior high school
building.
School districts throughout the
state and nation which are facing
the problem of providing more ade-
quate school facilities in the near
future are generally undertaking
building programs at the present
time for the following reasons:
1. The Federal Government is
making p. w. A. grants Of 1870 of
the entire cost Of new buildings
and equipment.
2. Bonds can now be sold to
good advantage as money can be
borrowed at three per cent or less.
8. Building costs, although some
what higher than a year ago, are
still probably considerably lower
than they will be a few years
hence.
I understand the estimated cost
Of the proposed building would be
$500, 900 of which the Federal Gov
eminent would contribute $685. 700
and your district the balance of
$165 900. The proposed bond issue
would run for a period of thirty
years. The total annual payment Of
principal and interest would range
from $7,192 to secs. The average
annual payment would be between
5000 and $1,000. 1t is highly prob
able, however. that less than half
of this amount would have to be
raised through local property tax
es.
The state distributed in 1886
from the state income tax to all the
school districts of the state an
amount equal to $40 for each child
between eight and sixteen years of
age residing in the school district.
Your district had 481 children of
compulsory school age and ac-
cordingly received s4,810. The law
provides that this money shall be
used for debt service where q dis
trict has any Indebtedness.
We shall probably have a new
income tax law. The House of Re-
representatives. has already passed
an income tax bill which provides
that each school district shall re-
ceive annually $40 per child of
compulsory school age which shall
be used for debt service If the dis
trict has any Indebtedness. In all
probability the Senate will approve
this provision. 1t is very likely;
therefore, thatsxour school district
viii receive annually between a..
500 and 5000 from the state in.
