Creamery Has
Increased
Manufacture For Ten
Months 100000 Pounds
Over Last Year Period

With butter SURPRISES down half
over year ago as announced by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
that swung market prices up sharp
ly, the Sank Lake Cooperative
Creamery Association marched on
to a new butter production goal
this year, already in the first ten
months more than 100000 pounds
over figures of year ago.
The announcement was made
this week as secretary George
Strauss released October production
figures, and the creamery expected
to top 100000 pounds of butter by
the end of the year. In 1888, best
year in its history, the creamery
reached toward a three-quarter mil
lion pound mark.
On a ten months basis this year
Mr.. Strauss announced a record
production figure of 10000 pounds
as against 596,237 pounds in the
first ten months of 1888.
But despite the gaining trend and
added patrons to the creamery's
roll, October slumped this year. In
figures just released it was an
nounced that 46,750 pounds had
been manufactured in October as
against 48,500 pounds in the same
month in 1888. For the month,
with the loss of SURPRISES having
its effect on the market, the cream
cry paid 80 cents for butterfat, con-
tinued the price into November for
cash patrons.
Paying four cents over the price
of year ago, the creamery found
farmers generally satisfied with the
price. Producers state that from
30 to IS cents is what they ought
to have. The October production
slump may be blamed to a variety
Of causes, it was explained, but
most generally accepted is the fact
that fall drouth, with virtually nc
rains, prematurely dried pastures.
The nations butter surplus, as
sounded in ten market storage
holdings on November 18th, was re-
ported from Chicago and the u. S
Department Of Agriculture as 6S
641, 102 pounds. For the correspond
ing date in 1888 the holdings
amounted to nearly double that fig
ure, 1854 ,298 pounds. The drop

strongly in the return to good but.

Holiday Decorations In City
Put Up Over Streets Sunday
Forty Businessmen
Made Up "Bee" For
Community Club

Sank Centre is one of a group
of three cities of the state which
have already put up holiday dec
orations, the other two being St.
Paul and Brainerd. DR.. H. F. Hen
neman, who returned to this city
from Chippewa Falls Monday, said
that in all the cities they passed
through only st. Paul was in Yule-
tide attire, and upon his arrival he
found Sank Centre also had its
streets in holiday decoration.
Forty businessmen of the city
made up the "bee" Sunday for
the purpose Of putting up the
decorations and to say that
they did a fine job is putting
1t mildly. Through their efforts
the Community Club was enab-
led to affect a substantial saw
ing this year.
Decorations are similar to those
of last year, although the colored
lights have been placed on sep
arate stringers to avoid troubles
encountered last year. Balsam fes-
toons are draped across Main and
Third Streets in the business Sec
ton, and they are interspersed with
strings of lights. Holiday wreaths
on the white way posts complete
the decorations.
A large Christmas tree will be
placed on either the Library lot or
the lots selected for the site of the
postoffice in the near future. Bus
inessmen of the city are asked to
place lighted Christmas trees in
every window to complete the
scheme of Yuletide decoration in
the city.
The Community Club in putting
up it's decorations early this year,
had in mind an earlier opening of
the Christmas season, so that shop
pers could purchase holiday goods
leisurely ad avoid the rush.
Walt Gritzmacher, secretary of
the Community Club, states that
the club has quite bit of the bal
sam roping left, and that anyone
who wishes to have some Of it, may
purchase the same at a nominal
price.

"Foot-Loose," Junior class play,
a comedy by Charles Quimbly Bur-
dette, will be presented on Friday
evening, November oath, at o'clock
in the Junior High Auditorium.
Richard Early is one of the num-
erous vice-presidents of a bank in
one of Chica's suburbs. His wife,
Emily, in her zeal to shield their
children from the ills of the world
and to advance them Internationally
has unwillingly deprived them Of
many opportunities to think and act
for themselves. There comes a time
when the children rebel. Dick, a
senior in Medical College, wants to
be married before finishing school,
and this proves to be the bomb
that makes Hope finally speak her
mind to her mother. Together they
succeed in persuading their parents
to take a world cruise and to let
Hope run the affairs of the family
and discipline Bob and Mary, the
two younger children, with the help
of their very able housekeeper, Del
phie.
The parents leave for the trip.
Then things really begin to happen.
Mary, long of the impression that
she should have other escorts than
Randy Cunningham, her childhood
playmate, meets Jack Milford, q
sophomore in college. Bob talks
Hope into giving him his entire ten
weeks allowance at one time So
that he may buy half interest in
an old car. Bob and his fellow
investor, Buzz" have an accident
and face a charge of driving with
out a license, and a debt for dam
age. Delphie comes down with
pneumonia. The children, in the
midst of their extremity, show their
! true spirit when they resolve to live
within their depleted budget.
There are many problems to
solve, but by the time Richard and
Emily return, things are well on
their way toward a happy solution.
The parents have learned that the
children should be given an oppo~-
tunity to go just as far toward the
solution of their problems as they
can, and the children have learned
that their parents are more under
standing, cooperative and vital to
their welfare and happiness than
they had thought.
