That the Glenwood Creamery is assured of success is shown by the steady growth of new customers. The reason for the growth in customers is the price they have been paying. During the month of October, the creamery paid 42 cents for Land O’ Lakes cream, 40 cents for No. 1 and 38 cents for No. 2. The price compares very favorable with prices paid at other points.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, Nov. 20, 1924

The Herald has received from the State Game and Fish Commission a few large sized maps which show the game refuges of the state as established prior to Sept. 1 of this year. The maps give on the reverse side legal description of all lands included in the refuges and those of our readers who care for a copy may have one by calling for it while the small supply lasts.

Citizens of Starbuck were treated to a spectacle of the fiery cross of the Klan last Saturday evening. The cross, made of scantlings and about sixteen feet high had been erected in a field on a hill immediately north of the village. It had been covered with tar or some other inflammable substance and set on fire. Men wearing the traditional hoodlum costume of the Ku Klux Klan drove through town in an automobile and are believed to have been the ones who had perpetrated this spectacle, presumably to give warning to the staid villagers that this organization had extended its sphere of influence to this community and that they would have to watch their step accordingly. It is, however, doubtful if the foreign-born portion of the population of Starbuck and vicinity will tremble noticeably at this showing of the presence of the hooded Klan in the community.

Merton 1st, a purebred Shorthorn yearling steer raised by Merrill Deaton of Leven township, was the fourth best animal among the sixty individual entries of all breeds at the Seventh Annual Junior Live Stock Show held at South St. Paul last week. The steer was born May 8, 1923, and weighed a thousand pounds. He also took first prize for Shorthorn yearlings at the Pope County Fair this fall. At the sale following the show at South St. Paul, the animal was bought by the Northern Pacific Railway, the price paid being $230.00, or 23 cents a pound, eight cents a pound above the prevailing price for baby beef. The meat will be served as steaks and roasts on the dining cars of the road’s transcontinental trains.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, Nov. 21, 1924

A meeting of the business men of the village has been called for next Monday evening at the council room at 8 o’clock to consider plans for putting on the poultry show. The show this year in connection with the crop show promises to be a “humdinger” if it is given the right support by the businessmen. We will have exhibits from Iowa and N. Dak., this year and one man in Minnesota has promised to enter 60 birds alone. The show will be a splendid advertisement of Starbuck and Pope county. If the businessmen of Starbuck want the show to be held here they must accord it their support. If you want to have the show held here come to the meeting Monday evening. It must be given your support or it cannot be held.

About 800 people attended the Cornerstone Laying and Dedication services in Fron Congregation, Starbuck, last Sunday. To begin with the Festival was blessed with exceptionally pleasant weather. The church Parlors were filled a long time before 10:30, the time set for the cornerstone laying. The pastors Stormo, Forde, Palmer and Linnevold assisted in the reading of the Scripture Passages and the cornerstone was laid by Rev. M. Casper Johnshoy, the pastor of the Fron Congregation. It was cemented in place by Mr. Emil Larson, the contractor who built the Church Parlors. So many people attended that it was found necessary to conduct an overflow meeting in the church, and Rev. J. Linnevold officiated in that place. The dedication offering amounted to $152.65. The women of the three Ladies’ Aid Societies deserve hearty thanks for the splendid dinner served to all at noon and also the coffee and lunch served after the afternoon session.

A box social will be given Saturday evening, Nov. 22 at school dist. 37. Try your luck and win a turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner. Lavilla Dalager, Teacher.
