Req. ". Boyle VIII
Talk About Indians
VIII Conduct Morning Worship
At Episcopal Church Next
Sunday At 11:OO A. M.

During the GUNNER months,
since the Rev. r. ]. Motifs resig-
nation, services at Good Samaritan
Episcopal Church have been con-
Quoted at eight o'clock each Sum-
day morning. Archdeacon w. K.
Boyle, Of Bemidji, who has been
in charge of these Eucharist SER
vices, announced a change of time
for next Sunday, August 9Th, when
he will conduct morning worship
at eleven o'clock.
The Rev. Boyle in his talk will
speak about the Indian and his
problems of the past and today
from the standpoint of an Indian,
and he will tell about the religious
work now being carried on among
them. This should be an interest
ing discussion, as the Rev. Boyle is
a Chippewa Indian, and has work
ed among the Indians of Northern
Minnesota for years.
This service will be the last of
the summer series to be conducted
at Good Samaritan Church by the
Rev. Boyle, who will again take
charge of the mission work among
the Indians in the Cass Lake reg
ion. Friends of the parish and the
public in general are invited to at
tend this service and hear the Rev.
Boyle's talk on Indians.

Should Make Appi-
cation In Person Or
BY Mail to Agent

Rye producers in this section of
Minnesota are urged by the county
agents office at st. Cloud to get
themselves in readiness to take adj
vantage of the commodity loans
that are being made available for
rye. Needless to say 1t will take
a few days time to get the neces-
sary forms and instructions for the
completion Of the loans. One re-
quirement to bear in mind is that
the rye, just as wheat, must lay in
storage thirty days on farms before
samples can be drawn for grade.
This means that all rye should be
threshed 30 days before the sealer
is sent out to put the seal on the
bin and draw the sample for grade.
To be eligible for a loan, rye
should grade No. 2 or better and
loans will be made only for rye
stored on farms. In other words
no elevator loans are possible with
rye as Is the case with wheat. The

zation, will go to the state conven-
ton for the American Legion next
Tuesday, August 9Th, to participate
in a parade that is expected to be
one of the largest in the state, w.
D. Gallup, the bands manager, an
nounced this week.
I'VE expect to be there one hun
dred percent strong" Gallup said.
The unit has been chosen to lead
the 9th district section of the par
ade, he announced. The band is
one Of more than fifty bands and
drum corps expected for the oc-
casion.
1t is anticipated that the parade
will require four hours to pass a
given point, and the line of march
will be confined largely to Nicollet
Avenue. Sank Centre people, espec-
tally Legionnaires, are invited to
follow the band next Tuesday.
This parade is one of nearly a
dozen major engagements for the
newly-uniformed unit this year,
Gallup pointed out. Uniformed for
the first time at the 9Th district
convention early in June, the out
fit is directed by P. w. Hanson,

orette Peggy Hoffman, and four
trumpet girls, armed with fanfare
trumpets. It's the second state

Rye Producers Urged TO Be
In Readiness For Crob Loan

loans will be at the rate Of &c
less than the applicable 1889 loan
rate for No. hard winter wheat
but not to exceed 38c per bushel.
In addition to the loan rate Of 38c,
a storage allowance of &c per bus
hel will be paid for the period end
ing July 1, 1910, provided the rye
is delivered to the Commodity Cred
1t Corporation. Naturally provis-
ions will also be made for the re-
purchase Of rye instead Of delivery
to the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton as was the case with the wheat
loans.
When ready to come in on the
program, rye producers should
make application in person or by
mail to the county agents office,
st. Cloud. In either case the $500
sealing and inspection fee should
accompany the application. This
means that for loans Of 300 bushels
or less a minimum fee Of $500 will
be charged. For amounts over 300
bushels the fee will be $500 for the
first 300 bushels and nc a bushel
for all amounts over 300. Complete
insurance will be carried on all
these loans the same as was true
with the wheat loans Of past year.

Enrolment
Meet for Col
lege Aug. 10
A Meeting Will Be
Held For Students
And Their Parents

Prof. Ira L. Plummer, acting dean
of the Sank Centre Junior College,
which will open early in Septem-
Der, in talk before Rotary Tues
day noon, stated that he is meeting
with success in the enrolment of
students from cities and villages
surrounding Sank Centre.
Mr.. Plummer outlined the pos
sibilities of a two-year college
course in this city, and made the
statement that the personal contact
and reasonable price of the course
would be of material advantage to
the students.
Under this university extension
course, young men and women,
who otherwise would be unable to
go to college, have opportunity to
better prepare themselves for the
future and to continue study for
future entry into other branches of
higher learning.
Mr.. Plummer asked the coopera-
ton Of the businessmen and citi-
zens of Sank Centre, SO that the
college could be a successful VEN
ture from the beginning. He said
that young men and women, of this
city, interested in the course should
make arrangements at once for
entry. Delay might prove to be
a serious handicap to entry.
In order that the young men
and women of this community and
their parents might be better in
formed as to the courses of study
and credits, Supt. w. A. Kohl and
Mr.. Plummer have arranged for a
meeting to be held Monday eve
ming, August 10Th, at eight o'clock,
in the Junior high school assembly.
Enrollments will be taken at that
time, and parents, as well as pros
pective students, are urged to at
tend. Supt. Kohl and Prof. Plum
mer will explain in detail all mat
ters pertaining to the Junior Col
lege at this meeting.

Sinnplified
New Crop
Insurance
Program VIII Apply
To Wheat Seeded
For Harvest In 1910

Farmers of Stearns county will
soon be presented with an improved
and simplified crop insurance pro-
gram applying to wheat seeded for
harvest in 1910, according to the
county agents office at st. Cloud
Basically the 1910 program is the
same as the 1889 wheat crop in
surance plan, but the experience
gained this year when 163, 900 farm
ers in the u. S. received crop in
surance protection has revealed sew
eral shortcuts to better and simpler
methods Of operation. The main
changes are:
Cd BY an amendment to the
AAA act growers may obtain ad-
vances against future payments to
be earned in the AAA program with
which to pay crop insurance prem
iums. Spring wheat growers in
1889 were able to take advantage of
this provision but in 1910 all grow
ers will be given this opportunity.
(2) The yields per acre and the
less cost is set up separately for
each farm by taking either actual
or appraised yields and losses for
the period from 1880 through 1888.
90 There will be no crop insur-
ance policy. Insurance will go into
effect on acceptance of paid-up ap-
plication by the Federal Crop In
surance Corporation.
In Stearns county large number
of farmers will be collecting losses
from the crop insurance corpora
ton on wheat this year. Most of
the wheat yields over the county
are exceedingly low and on farms
where insurance policies were TAX
en- out losses will be paid in a num-
Der of cases. On the insurance pro-
gram coverage may be taken out
for so per cent or rs percent of
the average yield for the period in
Dictated above. In Stearns county
in 1889 practically all farmers chose
to take the rs percent coverage.

Gypsy Band
Ordered To
Leave County
Two Members of Tribe
Caught Fishing on Sank
Lake Without License
HAD LARGE CAMP
Setup Fortune Telling
Business In Building
On Main Street

Stearns county has an unwritten
law that Gypsies must keep on the
move, and If they setup camp with
in the county they will soon find
the long arm of the law pushing
them toward the border line with
out hesitation. And these Nomadic
people usually do not tarry long
in this county.
An unusual situation developed
recently and county law enforce
ment officers were at loss to find
a way to break up camp Of Gyp-
sizes which had been setup on the
John Dold farm, on the south side
of the Narrows of Sank Lake on
II. However, all the Of
ficers needed to do was wait and
the unwelcome visitors would furn-
ish plenty Of reason for forced
trek out of the county.
Last week, a man and woman,
members of the nomad tribe, said
to be leaders of the group, rented
a building in this city and opened
a fortune telling stand. They stat
ed they were Assyrians, and having
paid their rent in advance furnish
ed difficult situation for the Of
ficers to cope with.
Watchful waiting soon presented
an opportunity and Game Warden
Leo Peyton, of Melrose, who, we
understand, has been reinstated on
the warden force, caught two of
them fishing without a license Mon
day. They were hailed into court
and fined $500 each, but the tribe
could not raise more than $500
for the both of them. It was then
that Deputy Sheriff George Fish
asked that the balance of the fine
be suspended, upon condition that
the Gypsies leave the county. They
were given until ten o'clock Monday
night to break camp, and they left
post haste, in their large cars.
Tuesday morning, the fortune
teller, who told fortunes free with
every sale of books on spiritualism
was gone with the breeze and the
"wanderlust" was enforced. The
Gypsies were gypped out Of the OPP
portunity to further gyp Stearns
county people.

clever and exciting blindfold act
in which Salton does a series Of
hair-raising somersaults through
space, without the aid of his vision.

first season in the American fair
world.
They are but two of many world
renowned artists who will be seen
with the De Waldo shows.

July Rain In
Third Place in
.6-Year Period
Small Grain Quality
Said To Be Good
Price Bad

Until last week new watering
hoses and lawn sprinklers, pur-
chased in the early drouth of May,
lanquished unused in garages, base
ments while lawns and trees flow
cred to a lush growth of vegetation.
But last week when July brought
heat came a sudden emergence of
lawn sprinklers th2SwiIg sprays of
water over browning-lawns, resi-
dents stood pouring water on late
season gardens.
Tt characterized the months
rainfall that though well-dis-
tributed dropped to third place
for July rainfall in the past six
years. According to measure
ments made by weather observ-
er, HI. G. RydhOlm, the month
brought only 1.68 inches of rain.
Biggest single shower Of the
month came on the first when
"a Of an inch fell, the record
showed.
The fall was a severe drop from
June's record high of 1923 inches
that coupled with the late May
rains brought 1892 inches in the
two months, nearly half of this
vicinity's rainfall norm. But coup
pied with the May-June precipita-
ton were days Of warmth and sun
shine that promoted one the best
growing seasons in late years.
Harvest this week was nearly
completed. Most all small grains
are cut. Quality is pronounced to
be good, though because Of the tar
dy planting season much Of the
grain is fouled with weeds. Cool
weather though has kept rust at a
minimum. One farmer made the
statement, my oats are better this
year than at any other ime." While
quality and yield are good, price
Is not.
What is generally not realized
perhaps, Mr.. Rydholm pointed out,
is that July rains were distributed
at the rate of two showers weekly.
Though not heavy, the prolonged
the life of lawn and trees in the
city, delayed the emergence of lawn
sprinkling.
July brought heat too. Twelve of
its 81 days saw the temperatures
Of over 90 degrees. Highest daily
recording rocketed to "a. Lowest
temperature during the month was
IS degrees. Severe heat, without
rain, had it's affect on corn fields,
and another rain is needed for that
crop.
