Does Missionary
Work in Kentucky
Miss Clara Kruger, Daughter of
Alfred Kruger, Writes of
Conditions In Southland

Alfred Kruger, who resides north
east of this city, recently received
an interesting letter from his
daughter, Clara, who is engaged in
missionary work in the hills OF
Kentucky. Her work Is in the vic
Unity of Manchester, Kentucky,
among people of little or no wealth.
She states that when doing mis-
sionary work in that region, 1t Is a
good thing to be able to do a lit
tie of everything. It is surprising
what one can do with a hammer,
saw and orange crates.
The work in the mission field
takes them into the hills among IL
literate and ignorant folk, who
have had no chance to get the ad-
vantages offered in other commun-
tiles. They visit the homes where
they hold Sunday school, and i'm
part other knowledge. During part
of the year they conduct schools.
At Sunday school they sit on
planks propped with stones, and on
lard cans as chairs, for the homes
contain little furniture. There are
no windows in the homes, only
holes in the walls. Children and
girls go barefoot most Of the time,
or all of the time. In some homes
where they are not so poor Miss
Kruger stated, they were treated
to pork, a delicatessen which is
served but once a year.
A baby passed away in a home
and they were called to make bur-
ial clothes, build coffin and con-
duct the funeral, which they did.
They are not located in the flood
area, although all mail from the
north was cut off for a time. They
are located about 200 miles from

To Offer Seed
and Feed Loans
Community Club Expects To Make
Arrangements For Local
Handling

The Federal Government will Of
fer both seed and feed loans in
Stearns county for farmers need
ing the same. A meeting of super
visors and field men will be held in
st. Paul Thursday, and 1t is expect
ed that applications will be avail
able shortly thereafter.
Realizing the considerable ex-
pense and time involved for farm
ers if they are obliged to go to st.
Cloud to make out these applica-
tions, the Sank Centre Community
Club expects to make the necessary
arrangements whereby these appli-
cations can be made out locally,
and hopes to have applications at
Sank Centre not later than the mid
die Of the coming week.
The 1885 crop shortage found
many farmers threshing little, If
any grain. Others threshed enough
for feed, and also fair supply of
seed, but many Of them have been
obliged to dip into the grain they
had hoped to save for seed. The
winter has taken more feed than
most farmers counted on, and, too,
the corn shortage has made the sit
uation more difficult.
Today many farmers are in i'm
mediate need Of grain feed, to say
nothing of hay, which latter has
been most difficult to obtain be-
cause of the heavy SHOWS. Hay Is
beinp hallled to Sank Centre from
considerable distances, even
though there Is considerable
amount of hay in the immediate
vicinity, but 1t Is practically i'm
possible to haul hay from the mea-
dow IL the stacks are not very
close to an open road or highway.
The Herald hopes to have full de-
tails OF the seed and feed loan sit
uation in our next issue.

Oranges At 4
Dollar aBusheI
SaysFredUnge
Mr.. and Mrs. Unger Returned
Tuesday Evening From
Vacation In Florida

Oranges at a dollar a bushel and
all the grapefruit you can pick off
the ground speaks of the plenti-
fulness of those fruits in the grow
ing section of the Peninsular state
as reported by Fred Unger, who
with Mrs. Unger returned from
Miami, Florida, Tuesday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Unger had spent sew
eral weeks there.
Weather conditions in Florida
are ideal, said Mr.. Unger. Variance
in temperatures is only about six
degrees with an average tempera-
ture that hovers close to 80 de-
grees above. In winter or summer
the weather is the same with tenn
peratures mounting to 80 perhaps in
the summer-which Is declared
hot. Amusement was expressed by
Fuoridans when Fred showed
pictures of snowdrifts and spoke of
80 temperatures. Only one in ten
has seen snow. North to Floridan
is Atlanta, Georgia.
Now in the boom season Of the
year, business in Florida Is very
good, stated Mr.. Unger. Building
trades, he pointed out, are flourish
ing. Apartments, houses, and hotels
are cropping up on available lots.
Through the flooded districts in
Kentucky and Ohio a picture of
desolation, ruin, and homeless fam
lilies greeted them. Traffic was
hurried through the cities, and
tourists are not permitted to stop
in flood ruined cities. Fred estimat-
es that Is minutes found him
through the city Of Cincinnati. Only
signs Of life were, in many places,
official and Red Cross cars crawl
ing around the debris. In Louis
vile areas surrounding large build
ings, undermined by the waters,
are roped off as officials fear in
jury to passing persons from cav
ing buildings. Silt, mud and debris
lays in many places to a depth of
"a inches, though now all waters
have receded. Homes and buildings
stand rocked from their foundation,
overturned, and at rakish angles.
I'VE don't realize how lucky we are
here with all this snow" said Mr..
Unger.
Business in flooded sections has
suffered irreparable damage. Be
sides being cut off from further
business, many firms have been
washed away. Stores in all cities
have been ransacked as desperate
persons helped themselves. Worst
Of the conditions is the loss Of old
accounts through business equities
being drowned"
Cut off from returning from
Miami as soon as anticipated by
the Ohio flood, Mr.. Unger agreed
that 1t was mice place to be
nnarOoned

 MT. sopwith was so sure Of this that he ordered Endeavour II yank. cd out of the water and an exam ination made of her lovely bronze bottom. When nothing was found oil the critics lifted eyebrows and expressed the opinion that the Brit- isher was c trihe balny from an the lickings he had taken and needed Q quiet weekend In the country.
 New 6 sea monster has been sighted, and Mir. sopwith's claim makes sense. I have no doubt but what, it was this same monster described by the men who saw him as c cross between c whale and Q serpent with 6 little of the wart hog thrown in for good ffleasure-that grabbed Endeavour II by his petit. coats.
 The faett hat the monster grabbed the Endeaveur II and not the Ranger is proof that 1t isn't the celebrated frightener from Loeb Ness. Leeh NeEs Is in Scotland, love for the Empire is too deep, even ln sea monsters, 10 allow for the trif. ing with an Empire project, So the Nantucket business must Dc an American. And it must be plenty smart, too, because you will notice that 1t didn't lift its head and eyes above water before making sure that those goshsawful cup races were completed. I am inclined to believe that its attack on EndeaVour was Q humanitarian move, fnotiviated by desire to end the races, And allow the spectator to regain their sensei and return to their homes.
 That the monster does not spend all his time in the water was re- veaied by the discovery Of footprints on the beach. These marks arc said to measure 6b inches by 46 inches, ft Is ct c time like this that maH- kind most soFely misses the cele- brat Sherlock Holmes, Were sher- lock alive he would give himself one shot in the arm, whirl over from his Baker street diggings behind 6 fast pair Of horses, and tell us ail about it.
 one look at' the footprints and Sherlock would be able to give the monsters height. weight, and age: his occupation, whether he smoked 6 pipe or cigars, and whether he preferred Turkish or Egyptain to- baeeo. And f the monster had a bad foot and limped, Sherlock would be able to detect that, too.
 The liklihood of the Nantucket citizens never having seen 6 mon. ster oil are very slight Tn fact. I'd say they were almost as slight as tho liklihood that they did. If my fright wig wasn't in storage for the summer l would almost be tempted to make 6 trip 10 Nantucket and take q look for myself. I'd like to gain the friendship Of c monster.
