would stop the competition between the

Eldora, Ia, Aug. 4-The church bell
ordinance of this city is dead. and the
bells will continue to summon the peo-
pie to divine worship. Maintaining

time custom of ringing and tolling the
bells. The ordinance was vetoed by
Mayor Ellis D. Robb, and an effort was
made to pass the measure over the
mayors veto, but it failed by one vote.

TO EXAMINE PLUMBERS.
City Council Provides for Board and
License Fee.

The new plumbing ordinance, providing
for a board of plumbing examiners and
an inspector of plumbing, was passed at
last nights council meeting. All the
councilmen except Councilman Nellis
and Councilman Howe, who were abb
sent, voted for the ordinance.
The board of examiners is to examine
all plumbers, and issue certificates at
the rate of 50 for master plumbers and
81 for journeymen plumbers. The MEM
bers of the board are to be paid $50 a
year and the plumbing inspector is to
get 81 900 a year
The ordinance calls for the following
fees for plumbing inspector:
All jobs costing over $100..........$2.0 90
All jobs costing over $50........ 90
All jobs costing less than $50..... so
All the fees are to be paid into the
city treasury. 1t is estimated that the
fees will not only pay the salaries of the
officials but will yield a revenue for the
city.
The ordinance was passed without
amendment. 1t will result in an in
crease in the cost of plumbing in the
city, for plumbers will tax up the adj
ditional expense of the fee to the patron

OUR BAND.

Bemidji has the material for a
crackerjack Of a band and the
boys have worked hard to keep
it up. Up to last December the
village council paid $50 per month
towards it's support, but this
support has been Withdrawn and
unless something is done pretty
soon the boys will give up the
fight. If the council cannot do
anything the business men OF the
town should. The band is a very
good advertisement for our town
and should be well supported by
our business men. The band
boys have purchased their own
suits and music and some Of them
own their own instruments, but
say they are unable to pay for an
Instructor, which will cost about
$50 or $50 per month, and if the
town will do this the boys agree
to put up a band that will be in
line with the best. .sE.@ d. ~

The Best Grass.

Mr.. A. w, Trow, who is one of
the lecturers employed in the
Minnesota Institute was asked:
ttWhat is the best grass to SOW
on sloughs for meadow and pas
ture?" a..@ - r.
Ans: For sloughs that are in
clined to be quite wet, red top
makes excellent pasture, and a
fair quality Of hay, while for
those that are we'll drained there
Is nothing better for both hay
and pasture than a mixture of
timothy and alsike clover, Sow
ing grass seed on poorly drained
sloughs, especially where water
stands during hot weather, is
only waste of grass seed" !"
To secure the best results first
drain the slough; then in the
spring, when the frost is out for
three or four inches, burn over
the surface. This clears the
ground ready for the seed, with
out burning holes in the peat or
bog. Seed with a mixture of 8
alsike and II pounds of timothy
to the acre. Harrow or disc the
surface and keep the stock off
the first season. Some of the
best pastures in the state have
been made in this way. C. L. S.

ALUMINIUM AS A WHETsToNE.

ALUMINIUM AS a WHEISIONE.
Although aluminium has been
in quite general use for years,
it has just been discovered that it
has splendid qualities as a whet-
ting agent. Knives sharpened on
aluminium have a finer edge than
can be secured on a high grade
milestone or even a razor strop.
The aluminium, on being rubbed,
develops a sort of greasy sub
stance like fine oil. AS the world
grows older the commonest
things are found to have proper
ties never attributed to them.
Golden grain belt beer, for in
tance, is one of the finest tonics
in existence, although it is com
monty used only as a table deli

people to believe that anything
that tastes good can be of benefit

March closes one of the most
successful logging seasons in
Minnesota in the past six or seven
years. The weather in this part
of the state has been the best
possible for the loggers and the
only drawback has been the scar
city of men. There will be plenty
of water to move the logs this
spring and it is expected that the
minneapolis mills will have all
they can handle. Unless there is
a large demand for lumber this
spring some Of the mills in the
state will not run, and If they do
not the cut will be curtailed some
what. Despite the recent thaws
logging operations have been go.
ing on uninterruptedly and the
expense Of hauling this winter
has been considerable less than
in previous years. A couple of
years ago a large amount Of pine
was left untouched on account Of
the poor roads, but this has been
cleared up and the new crop is
about ready for the drive.
