Joint Farm
Bureau Pic
mic June p
George Metzger, of Illinois
Agricultural Association,
Will Be Speaker

Plans for the joint Farm Bureau
picnic to be conducted by the
Farm Bureaus of Meeker and
Stearns counties at the South Kor-
onis Community Park on Lake Kor-
onis on Tuesday, June %, are rap
idly taking shape. In addition to
the headline speaking number with
George Metzger, organization sec.
rotary of the Illinois Agricultural
Association, a number of other i'm
portant events of interest will be
staged. Paul Sneak, strong man,
magician, and memory expert Of
the Farmer staff at st. Paul, will
occupy a part of the program.
During the morning at 1890 the
first horse pulling contest staged in
Stearns county will be carried out
on the grounds. For this event the
dynamometer traction unit from
Iowa State College at Ames, Ia,
has been secured. With this unit
the exact pull in pounds of each
farm team can be registered. Lib
eral prizes have been arranged to
reward farmers for bringing their
good pulling teams to this event.
Wherever this kind of a contest
has been scheduled it has been one
of the best sporting events ever
scheduled in the community. The
first prize for this contest will be
a net set of harness and other
prizes will be harness goods with a
smaller value than a new set of
harness. Since this is the first time
such a pulling contest has been
scheduled in the county, farmers
from all sections are urged to con-
dition their good pulling teams for
this event. At least a dozen teams
are looked for and the county
agents office at st. Cloud is anx-
ious to find out just who viii bring
a team to this contest so as to
know how many to figure on and
also to ascertain how much in the
way of prizes will be necessary.
The kittenball game between the
two counties, Stearns and Meeker,
will be carried out following the
speaking program in the afternoon.
Joseph NJ Kunkel, of Rockville
township, has agreed to line up the
kittenball team for Stearns county
and interested players in various
parts of the county should contact
him relative to their participation.
The tug-of-war between the two
counties will be held following the
kittenball game as well as other
sports events for old and young.
The Farm Bureau organizations
in the two counties are donating
coffee, cream and sugar needed by
all visitors during the noon hour
and folks coming to the picnic
should bring their own lunch.
The Paynesville American Legion
Drum and Bugle Corps will put on
a demonstration during the noon
hour. Other music is also being ar
ranged for by the committee in
charge.

JOS. DIRNBERCER
INJURED MONDAY
Truck Driver, Failing To Give
Signal, Turned Suddenly
Forced Car Into Ditch

Jos. Dirnberger is confined to
his bed with a back injury suffer-
ed in an automobile accident Mon
day morning. He was on his way to
st. Cloud, and had reached a point
about two miles below Albany,
when a truck driver, without sig
mailing, suddenly turned into side
road. Mr.. Dirnberger was forced to
take to the ditch. Beside the back
injury, he suffered a conclusion of
the chest when he hit the steering
wheel. Some years ago, Mr.. Dim
berger injured his back in an &C
cident, and has since worn a brace,
which he says protected him from
more serious injury. He will pos
sibly be confined to his bed for
about two weeks.

John Dominik, Little Falls
moundman, ran the entire course
of the game and while striking out
IA Sank Centre men who made the
trip to the plate allowed only one
hit. 1t was Ethun, stocky Harvey
stickman, who cracked out with a
lone hit, a two Dagger. Deziel who
had preceded him on base was
shunted in for the lone Main Street
score.
While Dominik was setting up a
high wind from local swingers
with his fast offering, Hanson and
Rasmussen allowed eleven hits to
the Falls crew with Calhoun and
Peterson collecting two baggers.
ANONYMOUSLY humbled in their
opening encounters the local base
ballers went ahead with a schedule
that included the biggies Of the dis
trict. Smacking their lips over a 20

and were somewhat surprised
when the locals, stalling off their
attack, lost 9 to /. Against the Alex
and Long Prairie outfits the locals
dropped games. 1t was these two
teams who met last week in the
finals for the district champion
ship title. Long Prairie, with Mar
ten, high school wizard pitcher,
running the full course, won out
in a 4 to victory. Against Brow
erville the locals had their lips
nearest to the cup of victory when
leading 5 to o they were finally
beat out to 6.
