OPENING OF
OURJREAMERY
Was Well Attended and Very Successful From Every Point
OF View
From the interest many of our farmers displayed several weeks before
the date set for the celebration of the
opening of thecreamery, a largecrowd
was expected; but the actual attendance last Tuesday, of women as well
as of men, and the close attention given
every speaker, by far exceeded all calculation.
Father Stiegler presided at the meeting and introduced the first speaker,
J. E. Lindbery, inspector of the Minnesota Dairy and Food Department.
Mr. Lindberg emphasized CO-OPERATION, QUALITY OF CREAM and
proper MANAGEMENT, as the points
upon which our creamery must build
for uniform and lasting success.
The second speaker, H. E. White, of
the Little Falls High School, compared
briefly, the social conditions on the
farm of twenty years ago with those of
the present time.    He said in part:
' 'Improved farm machinery, better
schools, better dwellings, telephones,
automobiles and other modern conveniences on the farm in general,
should at least retard, if not entirely
check that constant drift of theyoung-
g-er generation from the rural districts to the larger cities. The idea
that farming is unworthy of a man's
-best intellectual efforts, is a great
mistake. Properly and successfully
to manage a farm,to get the best results by rotation of crops, to get
out of the soil as much as possible
and yet keeping it in a productive
condition, to study the needs of your
own locality etc. etc. is enough to
tax the most active and resourceful
mind. The probabilities of rinancial
success are greater on the farm than
in the majority of lines of business
or in the professions. It is true, farmers never become millionaires, but
the average wealth of the farmer by
far exceeds the average wealth of
men in other callings."
Following Mr. White, Griffith Richard made a few remarks on the proper
feeding and care of the dairy cows.
H. L. Bugbee of the state institute
force, spoke on Co-operation. Mr. Bug-
bee went into detail as to what forces
contributed rn^st to the success of any
Co-operative undertaking. "Don't be
too suspicious," said lie, "Smith may
be just as honest as you, if 3*011
only knew him. Don't accuse your
butt-rmaker of giving your neighbor
too much test unless you are certain
that such is the case."
The closing address by Rev. J. G.
Stiegler, was the most powerful and
influential of the day—not only because
it was in the german language, but because of the sentiments expressed.
The facility with which he touched upon a great variety of subjects, the ease
with which he recalled statistical figures of interest to the farmer, and the
witticisms interspersed to "leaven the
whole", mark him as a versatile and
ready platform speaker.
About five o'clock President Thielen
mounted the stage and began to sell
pound prints of the new creamery butter to the highest bidder. Sixteen
pounds were sold to the following:
1st lb—F. X. Virnig, ,5.00
2 ,,        Frank Faust,   1.00
3 ,,       Jos. H. Grell,   1.00

8 ,,        Herman Froehlich   1.00
9 ,,        Herman Faust,     75c

11 ,,        Paul Kuklinski,     50c
12 ,,        Jacob Blake,     50c
13 ,,       A. E. Macho,       60c
14 ,,        John Langer     50c
15 ,,       Nick Wolak     40c
16 ,,        Peter Theiss      75c
After   the   butter  sale   and   after   a
moderate  partaking  of   refreshments,
the crowd quietly dispersed.
Though our farmer's creamery was
built in the face of the strongest efforts of "krcckers" and faul-finders
and under the almost continual prediction and threat that farmers in Pierz
"will not stick together and in a short
time it will bust up," a sufficient number strong and loj'al farmers remained, who followed their original
intention and built one of the finest
creameries in this part of the state.
The creamery began business last
Monday under the most favorable circumstances with a large number of
patrons and about 125 shareholders,
and it remains for YOU FARMERty
to remain true to the spirit of Co-opei**
ation, if you would make this entei'
prise a success and a source of pride
to the entire community.
The Journal voices the wish of every
business man in Pierz when it savs:
MAY   GOD   ATTEND   YOUR   EFFORTS,   AND   MAY    YOU   PROSPER.
(This wish is not made, as Father
Stiegler wittily remarked, that you may
be better able to pay your pew-rent'"or
that you may be able to spend more
money in Pierz, but it is made rather
in a spirit lacking entirely in selfish
motives.)
MURDERED AND
THROWN IN WELL
Man in Brainerd Jail on Suspicion
of   Killing   His
Brother
YOUNG BOY
SOLD WHISKEY
Brainerd, * Minn., Dec. 14 — While
peeking into an abandoned well near
the ground formely occupied by the
Brainerd Mill Co., a riverman named
McCarthy found the body of Mitchell
Delaney, laborer of Northeast Brainerd. When taken from the well the
body was seen to have a bullet wound
in the stomach.
Delaney was once sent to the penitentiary from Cass county for shooting
a man. His Brother, Dave Delaney,
was arrested on suspicion and is in Jail.
He has nothing to say, and until his
examination is held nothing definite
can be learned.
Princeton Lad Pleads Guilty Before
Judge Taylor—Given A Sentence
Of Forty five Days in Co. Jail
ROAD SURVEYS  FOR CUTOFF
Line From Little Falls to Wadena
Said to be in Contemplation
Little Falls, Minn. Dec. 16.— .Surveys have been made and construction work planned for the building of
an extension of the Northern Pacific
from Little Falls north-west to Wadena. For some months rumors have
been afloat that the road would
build what is called a western line'
beginning at Rrees in Benton county,
to shorten the western coast haul.
Difficulties were encountered, however
in grades and a new survey was made
from this city west. The line will
cross Todd county north of Long Prairie, striking the northern Pacific line
at or near Wadena.
NEW DOCTOR FOR PIERZ
Dr. A. Lanoue of Mendota, Minn,

have his office in the Drug store. Until
his family arrives, he can be found
nights at Mr. Kaliher's residence, over
Frank Grell's store. Dr. Lanoue is a
graduate of Lavel University of Montreal Canada.
Ends W inter's Trouble.
To many, winter is a season of trouble. The frost-bitten toes and fingers,
chapped hands and lips, chilblains,
cold-sores, red and rough skin, prove
this. But such troubles fly before
Bucklen's Arnica Salve. A trial convinces. Greatest healer of Burns, Boils,
Piles, Cuts, Sores, Bruises, Eczema
and Sprains. Only 25c at E. L. Kaliher.
St. Cloud times—Flody Erickson, a
17-year-old lad of Princeton, was this
afternoon sentenced by Judge Taylor
to 45 days in the Hennepin county jail
for having supplied liquor to a posted
man. Erickson was accompanied to the
city by Sheriff Henry Schockley,
county Attorney J. A. Roos and clerk
of Court Robert H. King, of Mille
Lacs county.
The boy has been compelled to
shift for himself largely since the
separation of his parents two years
ago. This week he secured a pint of
whiskey for the Princeton man who has
been posted in the saloons. In giving
it to the man he states he received
no profit.
He was fined $50 and cost and 30
days in jail and upon inability to pay
the fine was given a sentence of 45
days in the Hennepin county jail.

MORRISON CO. FARMERS ORGANIZE
Little Falls Minn., Dec. 16- Through
efforts of Supperintendent H. E. White
of the local school, farmers' clubs are
being organized throughout the comity.

problem of keeping the boy and girl
on the farm.
Lightning Kills Few.
In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's
chances of death by lightning are less
than two in a million. The chance of
death from liver, kidney or stomach
trouble is vastly greater, but not if
Electric Bitters be used, as Robert
Medson, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from viru-
ent liver trouble and yellow jaundice.
He Was then completely cured by
Electric Bitters. They're the best
stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only
50c at E. L. Kaliher.

"My. wife would have been in her grave
to-day, "writes O. H. Brown, of Muscatine, Ala.," if it had not been for Dr.
King's New Discovery. She was down

Mankato, Minn., Dec. IS A movement has been started in the territory
north of here for the building of a
railway from Mankato to Duluth, probably by way of St. Cloud. The movement seems to have been started by
the people of the eastern part of Morrison county. They have received a
proposition from the American Engineering & Construction Company of
Cleveland to build the line from Mankato to Duluth, and are asked the cooperation of the towns and cities
alone the proposed route. The matter lias also been taken up with . the
Commercial club of Duluth. The company proposess to start work at an
early date, provided the preliminaries
can be arranged.
A large territory the road would
tap now has no railways, and hundreds of farmers have to haul their
produce from fifteen to twenty miles.
The Mankato business interests have
for thirty years or more been trying
to get such a road. The last time it
was proposed to start at Austin and
build to St. Cloud and Duluth, but the
actual building started at Albert Lea
and went as far as St. Clair, in this
county. Then the Milwaukee company bought the road.
