Greatest Production
In 35.Year History
Fifty Thousand Pounds
Greater Than Best Butter
Make, Said Secretary

Greatest production record in the
35-year history of the Sank Lake
Cooperative Creamery was chalked
up this year, it was learned this
week as secretary George Strauss
announced the date for the annual
meeting and figures on December
production.
$4,000 pounds greater than the
best butter make up to this time,
when the creamery made GAG, 900
pounds in 1925, was this years
total of $4,000 pounds, Mr.. Strauss
said.
The annual meeting for stock
holders and patrons of the associa-
ton is to be held February 9Th, he
pointed out.
Patrons received $12,860 during
the month Of December, receiving
20 cents for sweet cream butterfat,
the report showed. 54,75O pounds
of butter were manufactured dur
ing the month. Production ran
10000 pounds higher than for the
same month in 1887, he said.
He announced too that the Christ
mas turkey pool had netted patrons
twenty-five cents on young hens
and a cent lower for young toms.
Tuesday afternoon the creamery
was the scene for special meeting
of directors and officers Of district
eight Of the operators association,
A. N. Cordell, local operator, said.
Attending were: Ted Noeske, West
Union, secretary; Walter Clemen-
sen, Clarissa, vice chairman; AL

Presidents
Ball Monday,
January 30th
Ticket Sale For
Meritorious Event Will
Open Tomorrow
ALL SHOULD AID
Every Penny Received
Will Be Used For
Purpose Designated

President Roosevelt has turned
the eyes of the nation on the neces-
sity Of greater facilities for the
care and treatment Of infant par
alysis victims. This worthy effort
eliminated in the Inauguration in
every hamlet and city Of a Presi-
dents Ball, planned to raise funds
for the Warm Springs Foundation.
Sank Centre has joined hands
with the many communities of the
nation and likewise will sponsor a
Presidents Ball so as to do its bit.
This event will be held in the Jun
Tor High School auditorium on
Monday evening, January 30th. The
ticket sale will open tomorrow,
Friday, and tickets are priced at
$1.00.
The ticket sale will be made on
house-to-house basis, with the
city divided into districts for that
purpose. The Black Cats, a young
mems organization, voted one hun
dred percent to aid both in the
ticket sales and conduct Of the
dance. The Cuckoo's, a dancing
organization Of young married
couples, and the young ladies and
other organizations, will assist in
an effort to put Sank Centre over
the top.
This dance will be staged with
out cost as everything necessary
for its conduct will be donated.
Kohps Klinkers will furnish the
music gratis and the Herald will
furnish tickets and advertising
without cost. This will enable the
committee to send every penny to
the organizations designated to re-
ceive the fund from this city. The
committee will send one-half the
fund to the Warm Springs Founda-
ton and the other half to the
Shriner's Hospital, maintained for
the care and treatment Of crippled
children.
Our community should do its
share In this meritorious undertake
ing, and there Is no doubt but
that 1t win. Funds are needed to
carry on the work, to provide more
room for these victims. and to en-
large and provide additional hospi-
talization. Every penny Of your
dollar will be used to help infantile
paralysis victims in the correction
Of deformity and the rehabilitation
Of life.

In 1878-Entered

BURIAL SATURDAY
Member of Rotary
Club, Odd Fellows and
Cemetery Association

v. L. Burgess, who came to Sank
Centre sixty years ago, passed
away at his home on Birch Street
last week Thursday morning at
three o'clock. Death came to him
as a relief from seven years of
suffering, although he was confin-
ed to his bed only for two years.
A stroke seven years ago brought
on his illness and before his pass
ing he had suffered four severe
strokes.
Vernon Livingston Burgess was
born on farm near st. Clair, Blue
Earth County, Minnesota, on Sep
TENDER II, 1871, and his age at
death was 81 years, four months
and two days. When he was seven
years old his parents moved to
Sank Centre and located on a farm
two miles west of town, now occu-
pied by Ernest Sell. Their journey
was made overland by OK team, and
they arrived here in the fall of
1873.
Mr.. Burgess attended public
school in this city and gathered
knowledge under adverse condi-
tons. He prepared himself for a
business career by attending the
Smith and Casey Business School,
which was conducted in this city
many years ago.
Miss Ivy C.. Parker was his
choice as life's mate, and on Octo-
Der n, 1896, their marriage was
solemnized by Rev. Ernest Smith.
pastor Of the Congregational
Church, Of which they were MEM
bers for many years.
For time during early years OF
life Mr.. Burgess was employed In
the Keller factory, and during the
years of 1902 and 1908 resided in
Perley, Minnesota, where he pur-
chased grain for the Peevey Eleva-
tor Co. In 1904 he entered the bus
mess life Of Sank Centre, when he
embarked in the grocery business
with James McCracken. They pur-
chased the interests Of Joseph HI.
Simonton, founder Of the Herald,
corner of Third and Oak Streets,
and the partnership which existed
for twelve years was terminated by
the death Of Mr.. McCracken. Since
that time the business has been
known as the Burgess Grocery, and
has continued in successful opera
ton in the same building in which
1t originated. A year ago last April
Mr.. Burgess took into partnership
with him, Albert Parker, Of Wa
dena, a nephew Of Mrs. Burgess.
Mr.. Burgess was successful mer-
chant, handled only best quality
merchandise and was fair and hon.
est in his transactions with a large
patronage. From an old record
book, the first Mr.. Burgess kept
of the business, we learned that
Geo. Bowman, Of Westport, was his
first customer.
On August "A, 1895, deceased be-
came a member Of Sank Centre
Lodge, No. "a, I. o. o. F. AS an
Odd Fellow he passed through all
the chairs and successfully conduct
ed the affairs Of that organization
as it's head. He was a member Of
the Odd Fellow Lodge for A years.

the first time viewed Sank Centres
most popular author, most unique
character, when Sinclair Lewis
played the lead role of DR.. Hilary
Jarrett in his own play, Angela Is
Twenty-Five"
For some few, who had not known
him when, 1t was the first time
they had ever seen him act. For
others it was the first time since
a red-headed lad had, as he put it,
"given fantastic dramatizations in
the barn back of DR.. E. J. Lewis
home, admission was three nails
or two pins"
But admission Thursday, as Sank
Centres contingent piled into main
floor orchestra seats within throw
ing distance of the stage, was
more than three nails-or even
two pins. And it was not the red
headed lad, Harry; but the red
headed grownup, Sinclair.
But the only throwing there, was
the throwing of hand toward hand
as thunderous applause accompan-
led curtain calls. Sinclair Lewis for
many became a legend that night.
Not Lewis, the actor, but Lewis the
man, who on his feet commanded
the English language to pour out
in niceties that only heightened
the after-play tumult.
No one else could have pleased

the role of the 52-year old DR..
Jarrett whose marriage to the d

self degree of notoriety and then
came back to the place where he
belonged all the time," said Sin
clair Lewis at the after theatre
party staged in his honor by Sank
Centre folk last Thursday evening,
January 10th.
Well over two hundred people
from Sank Centre and former Sank
Centreites, who now reside in the
Twin Cities, sat about tables in the
Nicollet ball room enjoying an
event of major Importance to this
city. Cameras clicked and lights
flashed as pictures Of the famous
author, other famous guests and
the home town folk were taken for
publication in the dailies. A movie
camera ground out pictures to be
shown as weekly features in thea
tres about the country.
Besides Sinclair Lewis, the Sank
Centre people were happy to greet
other famous guests, Governor
Stassen, Martha Ostenso, also a
Minnesota author, and Flora Camp

well as other members Of the cast
Of angela Is Twenty-Five" the
play written by Sinclair Lewis.
D. B. Caughren, president of the
Community Club, started the pro-
gram with the following statement:
Just because this party was con-
ceived in Sank Centre and because
I happen at the moment to head the
Sank Centre Community Club, 1t
becomes my privilege to welcome
you here tonight. The engagement
Of Sinclair Lewis to appear in Min
neapolis as star in hts own play
was, Of course, announced weeks
ago. AS soon as the news reached
Sank Centre-you'd be surprised
how fast news penetrates these
days, even to Main Street-some of
Lewis old friends had the happy
inspiration to visit Minneapolis, see
the play and renew acquaintance
with its distinguished star and CO.

his work, we sought the co-opera-

lowing editorial in the New York
Times of January 21st:
A pleasant little item from
Sank Centre, Mimi, relates that
q travelling Thespian named
Sinclair Lewis was given a re-
ception after his performance
there the other night. Mr..
Lewis was born in Sank Centre
fifty-three years ago, come Feb.
z. Nineteen years ago, in the
novel which he called Main
Street." he wrote of a small
Midwestern town in terms
which not only set a fashion in
fiction but which must also
have had something to do with
the subsequent rush to the cit
les. The Gopher Prairie OF the
novel bore some resemblance
to Sank Centre, as many per-
sons thought. It looked as
though Mr.. Lewis had better
not go back there, unless he
wore false whiskers. But now
we learn that Sank Centre has
forgiven him not only for his
acting but for his novel. The
Republican Governor Of Mime
sofa was there and Mr.. Lewis
nominated him for the Presi-
dency. Everybody had a good
time.
The truth probably is that
Mr.. Lewis, Sank Centre and the
country as a whole have mel
lowed. Sank Centre (popula-
ton 1880, 2,716) must seem
more attractive than 1t former
w did to an author who has
since seen Berlin and Rome.
It has probably changed, too,
what with the radio and the
automobile, which make 1t pos
sible for the citizen to keep up
to date and get away from
home. Culturally, Sank Centre
is now next door to New York,
Chicago and Los Angeles
which may be good thing or
a bad thing, according to ones
point Of view. It Is also, prob
ably, kind Of stable and DEM
ocratic, and these qualities
must look good to Mr.. Lewis,
who Is not only doubling In
brass and doing one-night
stands in his own play, but who
may have grown less concerned
about manners and customs and
more about the eternal verities.
