BAND IN SATURDAY
NIGHT "REVIVAL"-

Reviving, at least temporarily,
a custom that used to be more
or less stock in the Saturday
night of our town, the Sank Cen
ire Band will be heard next Sat
urday evening from 800 o'clock.
The concert will be a street con-
cert, will last about an hour.
There are those who will remem-
Der that the street concerts of
the band were some years ago
the Saturday evening constant.
In those days they loaded must
clans into the army truck, now
since gone, and traversed slowly
the business streets. About the
time Irving Berlin's Always"
was clicking into popularity, the
practice passed from the scene.
Tuesday evening at band rehear-
sal, when the "ayes" far out
distanced the hayes" the band
decided to try a Saturday eve
ming concert. Lot of our Sat-
urday night out-of-town visitors
have never heard the band" w.
D. Gallup, manager of the outfit,
said Tuesday.

Former Resident
Redecorating St.
Paul'S Statuary
Was Former Parish Of
His Parents-Was just A
Boy When He Left

A young Minneapolis artist and
his wife, busily nursing a career
in the field of religious decoration,
were finding more than the usual
thrills this week in their commits
sion at st. PauPs Church. For St.
Paups was the family parish of
his parents for years.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin
Hartung, who are redecorating the
statuary at st. PauPs. He is the
son of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Gott-
fried Hartung, former residents Of
this city.
Admitting that he was much
too small at the time to do more
than vaguely remember Sank
Centre, he did know that I'VE
lived just two doors south of
the SchwarZbauer home"
Today, as he returns to the home
parish, on a painting commission,
Mr.. Hartung feels a warmness for
Sank Centre, but he does have one
regret on this project. "Only thing
I'm sorry about is that father can't
see it." he told. HE would have
been glad to know I'm in this
work."
1--WE like to believe we're Church
artists" the young man who for
ten years had been just another
Minneapolis painter. He explained
that he and his wife, who is an
artist in her own right, have been
working together for the two years

News From
The County
Agents Office
Ask Enrolment In
Poultry Record
Project By Sept. LIST
CONTROL WORK
Wheat Growers Urged
To Contact AAA
Community Committee

In years gone by, a number OF
poultry raisers in Stearns County
have enrolled as cooperators in the
Poultry Record Project. The Coun-
ty Agents office in st. Cloud urges
both these and others interested
who wish to enroll to send their
enrolment to the Extension Office
at st. Cloud by September 1 or
soon thereafter.
In this Poultry Record Project,
records are kept Of the amounts of
feed used as well as other costs
that go into the production of eggs
and poultry products. Likewise, re-
cords are kept of the sale of eggs,
birds, etc.
The work Is in charge of Cora
Cook, Specialist in Poultry Hus-
bandry, University Farm. Each
month she summarizes the reports
sent in by various cooperators and
furnishes a news letter, a summary
of the reports. which goes back to
the cooperatcrs. Poultry producers
interested in this record project
should send in their name without
delay.
Grasshopper Control Work still
continues in most of the infested
townships in Stearns County. At
the present time the County Agents
Office at st. Cloud urges that all
folks who have q considerable
number Of hoppers on their proper
ty should make every effort to
spread poison bait in order that
the number Of hoppers available
for egg laying be reduced to the
lowest possible number.
In many townships of this Coun-
ty, hoppers are matured enough to
lay eggs for 1910. In other areas,
they will reach the stage of matur-
ity in short time. At the present
time the largest number of hoppers
can be found in meadows, pastures,
clover and alfalfa fields. This is
also the area that makes the most
desirable egg laying ground. That
being the case the bait spreading
work should be confined, largely
to such areas with continued eff
fort in grasshopper control. Other
wise more areas in the county will
suffer damage for 1910. AS there
still remains an ample supply of
poison material to take care of the
needs, towsnhip officers should be
urged to take care of the supply
OF material for their township
without cost.

appear that the bank is handling
this situation in such a manner as
to give due consideration to former

According to the above letter
there is no ruling which does not
permit renting to former owners,
in fact the letter states that former
owners have preference in the mat
ter. If a number of farmers have
received such orders and they feel
that they are being Disseminated

take the matter up with the Farm
Credit Administration or their con-
gresham. The informative letter

Req. Jansen
Has Resigned
Local Pulpit
Accepted Call To
Minneapolis Church
For September 18th

The Rev. Peter j. Jansen, for
five years pastor of the First Con-
gregational Church Of this city, has
accepted a call to the pastorship
of the Edina-Morningside Commun-
ity Church in Minneapolis. He an
nounced that he and his family
will leave this city September 18th.
Vacancy in the Church was Great
ed early this summer by the death
Of the Rev. T. H. Hazard. Mr.,
Jansen was notified that he had
been accepted as pastor this month
while vacationing at Birchdale.
The Church, located in the Coun-
try Club district of the city, has
a membership of about $50, he said.
There are $50 in the Church School,
and the congregation is one of four
churches in which originated the
University of Life, a program that
embraces about 200 young people.
During his service here, the Rev.
Mr.. Jansen has been active in fos-
tering young peoples programs.
Locally he was active in bringing
about a union program Of four city
Churches for a united young peo-
pies group. In the state during
the past year he was dean Of the
State conference for the Pilgrim
Fellowship. It was his activity in
these youth lines that attracted at
tention to him from the Edna
Morningside congregation.
Strangely it is the self-same
church to which former pastor of
the Congregational Church here,
the Rev. c. s. Sparkles, was called
some years ago. And the young
Mr.. Jansen's move to Minneapolis
makes him a pastor in the same
city in which his father, formerly
Of Wadena, serves. The elder Mr..
Jansen is pastor Of the Minnehaha
Church.
The Rev. Mr.. Jansen came to
this city five years ago in Novem-
Der from Granite Falls. Officers
Of the local Church have made no
announcement as to their decision
on whom to call to the local field.

Hon. Harold knutson
House Of Representatives
Dear Mr.. Knutson:
Commissioner Goss has asked me
to reply to your letter Of August
14th in which you inquire as to
whether the Federal Land Bank of
st. Paul permits former owners to
remain as tenants on farms which
they have lost through foreclosure
proceedings.
We recently had occasion to write
the bank regarding this matter and
I am pleased to set forth below the
banks position:
I'VE have no rule against
renting farms to former own
ers. The fact is that a former
owner usually is given the first
chance to rent, If he is a sat
isfactory operator and has suf-
ficient livestock and equipment
for the farm. There are in
stances where we have refused
to lease to former owners be-
cause Of their attitude, poor
farming methods, and lack of
adequate facilities to farm
properly"
In the circumstances, it would

s. p. Hansen, ST., never retired.
He probably never will, and bus
mess on this Main Street has born
his name for nearly half century.
One Of the few old-timers on the
street today who saw the business
structure revamped time and again
from the days when a man could
get a years credit, who saw his
smart delivery wagon and sleigh
for winter pass out of the scene
with the coming of the chugging
automobile, S. Prov long past
the years when a lot of men reach
up on the shelf for their slippers
is still active in the business scene.
Not as active as once when, in
three years time, he whipped his
grocery business into going con-
Germ that expanded right out of
the building. That was forty-eight
years ago, but the business stands
today and is handled in the family
with sons, S. p, Jr., and Percy,
taking over. He's not right out
on the main stem any more either,
for he's retired just back Of the
old store building to be in bust
ness with his son-in-law, H. F.
Schmidt, handling farm produce.

family gathered with him, or
phOned, or sent congratulatOry

sary of August 27th in 1854,

years Of his life in the old country.
Then at seventeen, with no better
reason than that he had a brother
in Illinois, he bundled what he
longings he had and, wearing
homespun clothes, he sailed for
America. Unlike lot of Hedging
immigrants, s. p. admitted this
week, II never had a lonesome day,

His first job in this new country,

Of Botz, he remembers wildly. For
three months I got thirty dollars,

All over this mid and northwest
territory, in those days just as the
west was coming into it's own, this

that. He butchered; he farmed.
He went into the lumber business;
he bought cattle. He followed his
work in Illinois, Wisconsin, North

Returning
With Baby
Giant Panda
Cliff Domke, Homeward
Bound, Has Strange
Travelling Companion
RARE ANIMAL
To Meet Brother, Fay
Domke, At Honolulu,
Hawaii, September 2

Cliff Domke, now homeward
bound after two years in the war
torn Orient, is playing "nursemaid"
to a baby giant panda on a four
thousand mile trip across the Pa
cific.
The young Carleton college
senior, and son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul DOmke, of this city, is
scheduled to arrive in Homo
lulu, Hawaii, Saturday, Septem-
Der End, a letter from his BROTH
er, Fay, announced to the await
ing parents here. It's expected
that Cliff will arrive here
minus the panda-about the
18th, Mrs. Domke said this
week.
The mid-Pacific meeting of the
two brothers is their first reunion
since Cliff left for the Far East two
years ago in July. Commented Fay
via the mails, 1T looks like a great
day for the Domkes in Honolulu"
The giant panda, by way of ex-
PLANTATION, Is a rare mammal in
captivity. Because of it's habitat
high in the Himalayas of Tibet,
capture has been rare. Their exist
ing under conditions of captivity
have been even rarer. It's highly
possible that there aren't more
than one or two others in the world
in captivity.
1t came about strangely that
Cliff is the deliverer Of the
strange little animal that is
cross between the Riddles teddy
bear and a raccOOn. In China
while rummaging through an
old temple building, he CHANGED
upon the Messrs. Schultze and
Dickinson, formerly associated
with the American Curtiss air
plane manufacturers. They
were repairing cracked up"
Chinese planes for war use.
The panda was their prize which
they had sold to the st. Louis zoo.
When they learned Cliff, a student
teacher, was going to the States
they enlisted him to accompany the
animal. He'll make the delivery
directly to st. Louis.

munication from him, he had visit
ed in Indo-China before his leav-
ing. He expected then to sail from
Japan, after short time glance at
that aggressor nation, aboard the
Empress of Russia, with his trav-
cling companions furry panda
with q fox-like tail.
Cliff, two years ago, won Carl
eton college junior scholarship that
in effect elects a student to go to
China to teach in the Carleton-in-
China Ming I Middle School. The
school is like our high school, teach
es English and physical education
to young Chinese. He first taught
in Fenchow, now Fenyany, within
the Great Wall, far to the north.
After two years, with the Japanese
invasion, the school, moved dozens
of times, has located far to the
south where tangerines grow and
the climate rivals that of Florida.
