Central Minnesota
Included In District

Officials representing 1874 cities
and villages of IA counties have
invitations to attend regional con-
ference Of the League of Minnesota
Municipalities to be held in Sank
Centre on Wednesday, November
26th. Plans for the entertainment

several districts, with this district
made up Of the counties of Todd,
Pope, Douglas, Wadena, Morrison,

er, Wright and Stearns, all Of Cen
trail Minnesota.
National defense as it affects loo
al government and the Public
Works Reserve plan will be ex-
planned in detail by speakers.
William H. Sherman, from the Pub
lie Examiners office, will answer

Community Club Meeting
To Be Held This Evenine

and, we understand, an artist has
been selected for the painting.
Sank Centre has a rich historic
background and there are several
topics which would be well worth
a place in the new postoffice build
ing. Such a mural would preserve
for posterity accurate pictures OF
early life in this community. All
members are asked to give their
views in this matter.
Other projects to be brought be-
fore club members will be more
extravagant Christmas decorations,
poultry club show dates, fall and
winter activities, etc. All business
men and others interested are urg-
ed to attend this meeting.

Cattle Prices
Lead in Farm
Stock Raise
Highest Price For
Single Cow Was $110-
Sale Brought Over $4,000

With cattle prices leading the
way, livestock sale prices at farm
auctions in this territory this fall
are advanced to a higher point
than they have been probably since
the depression years when cattle
went for as low as twenty dollars
a head, 1t was learned from brief
summary of several auctions in
the vicinity this week.
was $110 at the Mrs. Marie Paske
and sons sale, the report showed.
That sale too commanded the
highest average price of $92 per
head on Is good grade Holsteins.
Ranking as one of the big
gest sales of all time in this
section was the more than
$1,000 auction at the T. o. Dow
ell farm, miles west of the
city, where ~ head of short
horn cattle sold for a total Of
A,627.50, and 80 cows sold at
an average price of $66 head.
Remainder of the total was I'm
sale of hay, machinery, hogs,
sheep, horses, hay and grain.
While cattle prices paced the
way back to indicatively higher
levels following defense boom
trends, hogs and sheep followed
with generally good prices" it was
indicated. Horses were bringing
low returns at most sales in
somewhat restricted market.
At another sale east of the city
herd of nine mixed breed cows
sold for an average Of SIT each
and the herd sire, a Red Short
horn, brought $3.50 on the block.
While the market trend was up
ward on livestock, this fall mark
ed a greater turnover in volume
of farm auctions than in the last
three or four years. Four or five
have been punched within a week.
Turnover, it was explained, is due
largely to a more lively traffic in
sales of farms themselves, relative
scarcity Of available rental farms
forcing buying in some instances,
together with the usual retirements
of several farmers and a normal
shift in rural population.
