Chief of Police Suspended

Ashland, Wis, Oct. 12.-Mayor Will
Jams has preferred charges against
Chief Of Police Tanner, and pending
the official investigation the chief was

now alleges that the chief allowed Il
new gambling house to open up and
made no efforts to close it.

an attack of typhoid fever. Warren
was taken ill about three weeks ago.
While Mr.. Warren's condition had been

recovery.
Lansing Warren had been actively
engaged in newspaper work for more
than twenty years, and previous to his
connection with The Sentinel was bust

Ocean. He was considered a thor
ough newspaper man. He was gradu

A Maine dairyman who is making

New England Homestead. Last year
he had eighteen cows and twelve heif-
ers in his herd. The heifers were two
and three years old and not in milk all
of the time. He sold the cream to a
factory, where part of it was made in
to butter and the remainder sold fresh.
He received monthly checks from this
factory, which amounted at the end Of
the year to 1,40O.
Twenty years ago he bought an old,
run down farm and kept increasing his
stock as the hay would warrant. Be
ginning with a half dozen COWS, he
has steadily increased until now he has
fifty in his herd. Corn, oats and bar
ley are raised and ground for the COWS.

down, and so the exchange goes on
farms in Kennebec county.
The calves are all dehorned when
young, and each year he sells some Of
tho older COWS and replaces them with
heifers. He uses separator, and the
skimmilk in summer is fed to young
pigs and in winter to the calves, which
thrive and grow rapidly on this diet
His farm is well equipped with all
modern improvements, and with in
dustry and perseverance he is slowly
and surely making farming pay.
