Date For Santa Claus
Day VIII Be Announced
In Herald Next Week

More elaborate than ever will be
the holiday attire for our city this
year, which is being placed over
the streets as we go to press today,
Wednesday.
Although the decorations will be
similar to those of last year, i'm
provements have been made and
they will be extended to include
Third Street east from Main Street
and Main Street one block north
from Third.
The decorations are made up of
evergreen roping. which will criss-
cross above the streets three times
in each block, and as usual they
will be adorned with colored lights.
Large stars will be hung at the in
tersections and large wreaths will
adorn each white way post along
Main and Third Streets in the bus
mess section of the city.
Small evergreen trees will again
be placed in the flag pole holes
along Main Street and thirty-foot
Christmas tree will be set up at the
corner of the public library lot.
This tree will be decorated.
Community holiday activities

From the standpoint Of agricul-

of 6 cents per bushel on wheat, and
10 per cent duty on lard are elm
mated. Substantial reductions were
made on fresh and canned fruits

cutting the duty on British textiles

Axel Meyerton Comments
On Blue Valley Move
Former Operator Gives
Views on Local
Creamery Situation

Purchase of the Sank Centre
branch of the Blue Valley Cream
cry Co. and the moving of other
branches of that company from this
state, led Axel Meyerton, of Sab
etha, Kansas, to comment in his
Patrons Letter" as follows:
Blue Valley Creamery Company
last Friday announced its complete
withdrawal from Minnesota, with
the closing of the Bemidji plant
Previously, it had sold its Duluth
plant and had sold its Sank Centre
creamery to the Farmers Cooper
alive Creamery Company of that
city.
sixteen years ago the opening
of the Sank Centre plant created a
turmoil in Minnesota. It was an
nounced by the company as an OPP
ening drive to operate sweet cream
creameries and, coincidently, the
plants at Duluth and Bemidji ex-
tensively publicized the purported
drive for "a fine quality cream to
augment the efforts at Sank Centre
More aggressive rivals and farmer
owned creamery completion legis-
lated and considerably against the
success of the undertaking.
I'm the early days The Blue Val
ley Creamery Co. had it's original
start at Marysville, Kansas, a short
distance from Sabetha. The selling
of their plant at Sank Centre is OF
interest, as the Manager of The Me-
maha Coop. Creamery was in
charge of the Farms Coop
Creamery at Sank Centre at the
time the Blue Valley opened up
At that time we were offered the
position as manager, instead Of that
we stuck with the Farmers Coop
Creamery and helped in a small
way to put up a fight against the
Blue Valley Co. 1t is good news
that the farmers won after 16 years
of battle with a large and powerful
centralizer. Congratulations to the
cooperative minded farmers OF
Sank Centre, who stuck to their
creamery"

Observations
from Washington 4
BIZ Con Gresham KnutsOn

The results of the 1888 election
have made it perfectly clear tina,
the American people do not want
one-man government They want
the traditional American system
of Constitutional government-the
two-party system, which assures
ample protection for the rights OF
the minorities, the maintenance OF
the Constitution and the continued
operation of our democracy.
The rubber stamp" days are
ended. No longer will legislation be
written in the Executive Depart
ment and sent to the Legislative
Branch under rush" orders tc
pass it without debate under sus-
pension of the rules.
The results of the election are
clear declaration on the part OF
the people that while they want
every worthy economic and social
objective carried out, they do not
want methods which not only dc
not accomplish those objects, but
which lead this Nation in the OPP
posite direction.
The results of this election were
laid in the days of the fight by the
New Deal Administration to pack
the Supreme Court and in the Ad-
ministration's attempts to force
through a governmental reorgan.
ization plan which would have
given the Chief Executive toe
much power.
America breathes easier, because
the suspected danger of a trend to-
ward autocratic government by a
political bureaucracy, oper a e d
under the directions Of one man
the Chief Executive, has been
avered, and that threat has been
met and conquered.
Business has already begun tC
improve. Capital has regained its
courage. New jobs will appear and
unemployment will begin to dimin.
ish as a result of this declaration
on the part of the people that the
Constitutional operations of ouI
Republic shall be maintained and
continued unimpaired.
No one can mistake the verdict
in this election. The American
people have emphatically condem.
ned the corrupt political use OF
public moneys expended in relief
loans and grants for political pur-
poses. They have called a halt to
the operations of a political bur.
eaucracy that was brazenly NOV.
ing to build an unbeatable power
by the wrongful use of public
funds.
One of the first things the next
Congress should do is to so streng.
then the Corrupt Practices Act
that there never again can be such
a spectacle as has been offered oul
nation in the election in the di.

Taxation should be readjusted
and placed on sound and scien-
tific economic basis. Old-age secur-
ity should be made to mean what
it Is intended to mean. The farm
problem should be solved by ex-
panding the domestic markets for
the American farmers, by the use
Of agricultural products In indust-
ry, instead of limiting production
of agricultural commodities to a
restricted domestic market. This
can be done and it must be done.
There must be an end to the fos-

tional suspicious. Under better
balanced bi-party government in
the Congress, the United States
will start its journey upward to-
ward that prosperity of which this
Nation is capable and to which its
citizens are so richly entitled.
Partisan warfare should cease.
There should be cooperation with
out coercion between the Executive,
the Legislative and the Judiciary
branches of the Government, to the
end that the problems which face
this Nation be solved.
:. The American people had deep
fears of what the future held if the
trends under the New Deal Ad-
ministration were continued. They
voiced these fears at the ballot
boxes, and the result is a definite

the part of the electorate that gov

ever before.
More Trade Agreements
The trade agreement with Great
Britain and Canada, which have
been in process of negotiation for
many months, were finally conclud-
ed last week. While I have not yet
had an opportunity to study their
full text, it looks to me as though
we have again been out-traded.
While it is true that in the
Canadian agreement a substantial
reduction is made on American ag-
ricultural products such as live
hogs, beef and veal, pork, poultry
grains, eggs in the shell, Indian
corn, oats, potatoes, and fresh veg

SAUK CENTRE WON
TWO FIRST TILTS
Sank Centre "a; Upsala IA
CONTINUED From Page One)

Sank Centre "a; Upsala IA
A first half that looked smooth
enough with the exception OF pool
shooting on the part of the locals
turned into a rout as the regulars
outmaneuvered and outpaced
smaller Upsala quint to win "a te
IA.
Captain George Conkey showed
his gang the way by moving into
this game with early buckets to
take scoring honors with nine
points. For Upsale it was a lad
named Hagstrom, sophomore
whose defensive work was superb
in the first half in cracking this
offensive of Sank Centre.
But Upsala couldn't last. The loc-
al crew wore them down, got onto
their shooting, held them scoreless
from halftime until late in the
fourth quarter. Coach Toftness
outmaneuvered them sweetly when
he swept in substitutions and the
team slipped easily from zone to
man-to-man defense completely De-
fuddling the Upsala crew.
Upsala early took the lead when
Alderman and Hagstrom connected
with two buckets. Conkey alone
scored for the locals the first quar-
ter. That ended the scoring right
there. Sank Centre moved in with
telltale thrusts, the burst in on
plays that showed class, but they
couldn't shoot.
In the second Nuass converted a
free throw and Walden got one to
move to a 6 to 2 lead over Sank
Centre. Conkey got a free throw.
Kringen exhibited the fruits of one
of these driving plays when he con-
nected to reap a tip in shot. Up
sala lead at halftime 6 to 5.
Now held without score, Upsala
was a bewildered team as the reg
ulars swept in time and again with
those perfect plays to score hand
lily. In the third quarter Nilsson got
one free throw. Conkey took two
field goals. Jackson and Larson
contributed with two free throws.
Sank Centre moved to an II to Z
lead.
Then scoring twice as many
points in the late quarter as they
had in the previous three, the Sank
Centre crew wore a path to the
basket. Jackson, Pangburn, Con-
key, Kringen romped in to score in
quick succession. Only Walden
scored for Upsala. Kringen and
Larson scored again alternating
with Walden.
