International Perils
Bring New Significance
To Christian Church

AS the Lenten Season opened on
a new significance for the Church
because of new wars and interna-
tional perils, pastors and their con-
gregations of this city bent toward
the forty days ahead in observance
as old as Christianity itself, pre-
paration for the Resurrection of
Christ.
Services that began yesterday,
Ash Wednesday, in deep solemnity
keynoting the period for self-den-
ial, examination and prayer, will
continue to Holy Week. Then in
one week the church will move
from its darknest hour, Good Fri
day, to burst forth in the climax
of it's history, and happiest hour,
Easter Sunday. Easter is April 10.
Yesterday in several of the city's
churches the opening of Lent was
observed. In both Catholic church
es there was the Blessing of the
Ashes and the distribution after
the Mass. At the Episcopal church
Holy Communion and Penitential
Office were celebrated at 10 o'clock.
Mid-week Lenten services will be
conducted in Zion Lutheran church

meetings are scheduled at various
points in the County. for the con-
venience of those who were not
able to come to the first sign-up
meeting. These meetings win be
held about the middle Of March, or
at such time as II Is reasonable
to expect the roads to be open.

be notified Of the time and place
Of these meetings.

ed up and wish to sign a Farm
Plan before the next sign-up meet
ings, may call at the County Office

School
Operetta
Successful
All Who Took Part
Did Their Work
Admirably Well

First operetta to be staged in
this city by the local school in five
years, "A Flower Of Venezia," in
which almost ninety students took
part, provided the vehicle for a
splendid evenings entertainment
last week Thursday night. This
operetta, held in the new auditor
ium, was largely attended
Splendid gowns and costumes,
lighting effects, good singing and
orchestration, as well as clean
humor, marked this as one of the
outstanding events Of the school.
Pupils and instructors put in long
hours of hard work and practice
to prepare for this one night, and
from all sides, with few, very few
exceptions, we find their efforts
were highly appreciated.
Miss Lillian Krogh, director of
vocal instruction, and Ed Kitzberg-
er, director of instrumental instruc-
ton, gave considerable time and eff
fort in preparing the students for
the presentation and they are to be
commended for their successful

DIR. Rich Obituary
Mrs. Fred Is. Rowe

Mrs. Fred B. Rowe, whose hus-
band preceded her in death on Feb
ruary IA, passed away at st. Cloud
hospital Saturday morning, Feb
ruary 22nd. Mrs. Rowe had been
at the hospital and returned to this
city for a short time, and Sunday,
February 10th, because her con-
dition became more serious, was
taken to the hospital again.
Mrs. Rowe, nee Lillian Petit,
was born in Gossport, Indiana,
on July Is, 1862, and at death was
rs years old. Her parents, William
and Meribah Petit, moved to
Minneapolis, while it was still
small town.
United in marriage to Fred B.
Rowe, of this city, in 1888, they
we're privileged to live together for
fifty-two years, celebrating their
golden wedding in 1889. Mrs.
Rowe was the mother of three
children: Meribah, who passed a.
way when eleven months old, Fred
Burton Rowe and Avis Rowe PEN
rose.
Mrs. Rowe, with the exception
of few years spent in Minneapolis,
resided during the greater part Of
the fifty-two years of married life
in this city. During few years Of
early married life and again after
1928 Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe resided for
a short period in Minneapolis.
During her more active years,
Mrs. Rowe enjoyed club work,
painting groups, Eastern Star and
Church work. She has left many
paintings in oil, water color and
crayon, as we'll as many hand
painted dishes as a remembrance
of her work. For many years she
was not able to enter into those
activities, however, as always she
retained a keen interest in people.
Her home life and family, however,
were always first.
It was great grief to her not to
be able to be with her husband
during his last illness, while he was
confined in Miller Hospital, st.
Panl. She struggled hard to get
well enough to go to him, but to
no avail.
Surviving are her son, Fred
Burton Rowe, her daughter, Avis
Rowe Penrose, and her two grand
daughters, Barbara and Doris
Rowe.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at 1870 o'clock at
the home, with the Rev. Thorley
johnson officiating. Interment
will be in Lakewood cemetery,
Minneapolis, where Mr.. Rowe will
also be buried when weather
permits.

A postponed meeting of the West
Union Cooperative Creamery was
held Thursday, February goth, with
large attendance Two directors
were elected, one of them Andrew
Beste, was reelected to the office
he has held for sometime. Her
man Marthaler was elected to sue
coed Mr.. Nick Peterson, who has
been a patron of the creamery since
1897. Mr.. Peterson served as a
director for forty years, and was
president of the association for ov-
err twenty-five years.
The annual report showed that
the association had one Of the best
years in its history. The manage
ment was glad to announce to its
patrons and stockholders that the
mortgage debt had been paid in
full. This had been done after the
annual report was printed. The
paid mortgage notes and the salts
faction Of mortgage were present
ed to the chairman at the begin
ming Of the meeting. The commun-
ity has every right to feel proud

now that its obligations are liq-
Undated.
Mr.. Rnnke, field man Of Wards
Dry Milk Co., Of Albert Lea, spoke
on the necessity Of quality Of dairy
products. His talk was interesting
and educational.
Theo. Noeske, manager Of the
creamery, responded with compli-
mentary remarks and suggestions
and he thanked the patrons for
their wholehearted support and CO.
operation.
M. Sopenson, president Of the
Pelican Rapids Oil Co., and man.
ager Of the cooperative creamery,
one of the largest in the state, was
the principal speaker. He congrat-
ulated the members on their

in such short time. He said that

this kind can be accomplished. The

Sank Centre Community's
Butter Bill Over $35,000.00

raises total earnings returned in
those four years to $4,000. There
is no dividend declared for 1889.
Announcing the January, 1911
buttermake as 1000 pounds strong
er than the same month Of a year
ago, Mr.. Strauss may well indicate
an upturn over the 845, 900 pounds
the creamery made in 1910. For
the month the creamery produced
1880 pounds as compared with
1880 pounds in January Of last
year. Payroll to patrons amounted
to $20,310 and for sweet cream but
terfat they were paid an average
price of rs cents for the month.
Egg purchases indicated new
gains in that department with S.
1S9 in purchases the first month
Of this year as compared with
$4,000 for January, 1910.
A retinning and rebuilding pro-
gram on two of the creamery's watts
was announced as completed this
week. 1t gives the plant two six
hundred gallon and two four hun
dred gallon sanitary watts in first
class condition.

LAST OF ORIGINAL ISSUE OF
BONDS ON COURTHOUSE PAID

$4,000 in refunding bonds issued
in 1885 and 1896. The refunding
bonds are scheduled to be retired
in 1947 but Frank Rainier, county
auditor, pointed out the bonds
would probably be retired before
they are due.
Stearns county's million dollar
courthouse was started in 1921 to

It is one of the most modern
