Progran To
Be Explained
Fifteen Meetings For Discus
sion Of 1888 Agricultural
Program Planned
SAUK CENTRE MARCH IS
Will Be Similar To 1887 Plan
Schedule Of Stearns
County

The 1888 agricultural Conserve
ton program will be explained at
fifteen meetings in the county be-
ginning Monday, March IA. Folks
for a number of weeks have been
asking as to how the program
would fit their farming operations
in 1888. In general the 1888 program
will he very similar to the one car
ried out in 1886 and 1887. In other
areas Of the United States where
cotton, rice and tobacco are grown
In large quantities, the situation Is
a little different. In Stearns county,
however, only a limited amount Of
tobacco Is grown and the county is
out of the corn limit area SO the re-
quirements for corn can be passed
UP. An acreage allotment will he
made out for each farm but no con-
troll penalties will be exercised in
1888. It Is possible that early in the
summer wheat producers might he
called on to vote on . whether the
marketing agreement shall be put
into effect. Otherwise the conserve
ton program this year will be very
similar to that carried cut in the
past. The schedule Of meetings for
the county is as follows:
Monday, March IA, 2 p. m, Ray
mond Town Hall, Padua; 7:30 p. M,
City Hall, Melrose.
Tuesday, March Is, 2 p. m, Com
munity Club Rooms, Sank Centre;

Fred Schilplin
Has Resigned
From FILA
Daniel j. Fouquette, St. Cloud,
Named AS Successor
Monday
A PUBLIC STATEMENT
Regain Says Estate In Red
Hands" To Farley In
Letter

Daniel ]. Fcuquette, st. Cloud
banker, was appointed Monday as
acting director of the Federal
Housing Administration of Mime
sofa, South Dakota and North Da-
kota. He takes the place of Fred
Schilplin, of st. Cloud, who resign
ed Saturday. His resignation, ef-
fective Monday, was given because
he is a candidate for the nominal
ton for governor on the Democra-
tic ticket. In announcing his resig-
nation, Mr.. Schilplin said:
II do not know, and I do not
care, who has been responsible fer
certain rumors of my resignation.
In the first place it was a sacrifice
from a business standpoint for me
to accept this position.
while I have enjoyed the work,
these watchers at the keyholes,
peddling their wares, have unin-
tentionally done me a coed turn.
Their political chatter has given
me a good excuse to say "a plague
upon both your houses and an ex-
cuse to return to my own business.
Further, my resignation at this
time leaves me free for a longer
period to finish a job which !
started in 1884.
THAT job referred to in the
statement I made when I filed for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. I said then, and I repeat
now, that all good citizens Of Min
nesota must unite to take the adj
ministration of state affairs cut OF
the hands Of political profiteers,
and through a business administra-
ton along the lines of decent gov
eminent put our house in order
Following the announcement OF
the resignation, John e. Regain, OF
Mankato, twice gubernatorial can
didate on the Democratic ticket
Monday made public a letter to
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, in
which he urged that Mr.. Schilplin
be allowed a leave of absence as
state FILA administrator to make
the race for governor. Mr.. Regan
in the letter, suggested that "the
administration should keep out OF
Minnesota politics. since past at.
tempts to dictate ruined our party
in the state" with the result 1--WE
have now a group Of reds running
our state"
Mr.. Regan's letter follows:
Yesterday the press carried
story to the effect that Fred Schilp-
lin and Victor A. Anderson, who
are potential candidates for Cover.
nor Of our state, would be required
to resign If they persisted in seek,
ing the office.
"At the same time there are sew.
eral stories afloat, one to the effect
that the Administrator is going to
grant Anderson a leave OF absence
but will net do so for Schilplin.
"You undoubtedly are aware Of
the fact that the Democrats Of Min
nesota have for a long time been
trying to build a party in this state
and 1t is the desire of the real Dem
ocrats of Minnesota that the Ma
tional Administration keep its hand
off of Minnesota.
TN 1882, 1884 and 1896 the Ad.
ministration attempted to dictate
and as a result ruined our party In
the State. It Is our desire that every
Democrat who wants to file fol
Governor, should be permitted to dc

Returned From
Florida Vacation
500 Miles Without Mishap, Only IN
Suffer An Accident s Miles
From Home

Fifty-one hundred miles by auto
without mishap-then three miles
from Sank Centre and home-an
accident was the lot Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Donald Hanson returned from
a recent mid-winter trip to Florida
and the south.
On their return from their jaunt
by auto, covering a dozen different
states, Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson were
entangled in an auto accident a
short distance out of this city. The
FIanson car and another collided
with damage to the Hanson auto
administered to two tenders.
After a three weeks trip, a vaca-
ton from this city, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hanson returned to their home
here Thursday.
Their trip took them to Florida
where they spent a part Of the
time in Miami, most famed Florida
winter spot. During the time they
made trips to other parts Of the
Peninsular state. Mrs. Hanson
pointed out that the west coast of
the state is widely populated by the
oldster vacationists, and there is a
restful air, but the east coast is
filled with the younger, gayer
crowd. Enroute they followed the
Atlantic seaboard to Miami and on
the return trip traversed the Gulf
! states to New Orleans.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson re-
turned singing the praises of the
F1oridian climate, pronounced 1t
ideal for winter vacationing. The
air is less depressing than that Of
a California winter, was Mr.. Han
sons opinion.
Their stay in New Orleans, color
full old city, was marked by the
now famed Mardi Gras celebration.
They witnessed parades, decked
with lavish floats. The Mardi Gras,
Mrs. Hanson pointed out, is cele-
bration held each spring for a week
and comes to a finale on the day
just preceding Lent, Shrove Tues
day.

The exciting pace that fans and
coaches expected from the rounds
Of District % tournament ran true
to form in the first rounds Tuesday
evening when Sank Centre, playing
a powerful defensive game, sent
Parkers Prairie, one Of the favor
ties, hurting over the elimination
boards and Bertha, dcped to win,
went down before a racing on
slaught from Long Prairie.
Sank Centre dominated Parkers
Prairie club 16 to IA in the Journeys
opener, and Long Prairie battled it
out with a touted Bertha crew to
win 20 to 16.
With this first round win and
banking on the type CT play they
performed, Sank Centre virtually
wrote its ticket into the finals.
Fans are agreed that the pairing of
Sank Centre and Long Prairie in
the second round should find the
Main Streeters going into the fin
ais Friday evening.
Sank Centre 16; Parkers Prairie IA
Two powerful defensives clashed
in that tournament opener Tuesday
evening and offensives were stop
ped cold when Sank Centre snudged
Parkers Prairie out Of the race in
the first round 16 to IA.
The difference in the two teams
was the fact that Sank Centre had
a five man team and Parkers
had three outstanding stars. Fur
ther 1t was battle of coaches. Two
coaches who knew each others
style of play. Each Sank Centre
man went into that game knowing
exactly what he would do and he
carried cut his assignment. loft
ness and Jacobson had coached
against each other before, and the
Toftness style won out.
Flashing their powerful defensive
that kept them in the scheduled
play all season the Sank Centre
crew completely stifled the Park
ers scoring ace, Abbot. For the
first time this season, he was held
without scoring from the field, and
it was the persistent efforts OF
Kringen who logged him continual
ly that stopped him. Quick as a cat
is this man Schrader, who eked out
three buckets from mid-court. Held
the first half without goal, he OPP
ened the second half under Walk
er's guard with the buckets, but he
was clamped for the remainder OF
the game.
Most valuable player CT the Park
ers crew was the non-scorer, Ander-
son. He was the spearhead OF their
attack, fed the ball to the scoring
positions, and was a power on the
COVER. He had a way of breaking
that forced his defensive to foul
and he was awarded number OF
foul shots which he failed to con-
meet.
Tied all the way, the two teams
battled desperately until the fourth
Parkers went to one point lead.
It was Kringen's long shot that
turned the tide back to Sank Cen
tire and they maintained 1t until
the end Of the game.
Two teams stalked stealthily as
two cats in the first few minutes
