James M. Larson, delivered during the
year 1909 at the Alden creamery 3d. 1881
pounds of milk, which made 2,l86
pounds of butter, which amounts to
$538.09. This makes an average of
218A pounds for each COW, which
amounts to $53.80B. The cows are all
grade Holstein. yr*&3,z 2
E Red w ood Gazette: Minnesota is a
large State, "a wealthy State, and can
afford capitol equal to any State in
the Union, but it appears to be time to
ascertain why the supervising architect
is so erratic in his estimate of the cost
of constructing the building, and
whether the State is to expend several
millions of dollars more before the
building is completed, which, at the
outset was not to cost over three or
four millions of dollars. t
N. World: The best guarantee
Of peace for nations, as for individuals,
is a peaceable disposition, a just at
titude toward the rights of others and
the moral power of reserved strength.
The United States has the inestimable
advantage of a traditional policy, of
continental isolation and Of unbounded
resources that all make for peace. 1t
does not need a mighty navy any more
than peaceable citizen of New 7 YOrk
needs an arsenal of firearms strapped
to his person. .->. .
Minneapolis Times: The objection
to the fashioned way of Bible study,
by memorizing and reading, was that
children either grew SO familiar with
the surface of the Bible that they lost
all sense of reverence, or else it was
entirely beyond their comprehension.
Therefore the Wisest church leaders
have tried the plan of making the
Sunday school prolonged commentary
on the biblical story. For some years
this method has been almost universal
and in many respects it has worked
we'll, but the children do not, after all,
know their Bible
Waseca Radical: The many friends
of 0. A. Wyman in this city will regret
to learn that he met with a heavy loss
by fire at Austin. He had his house
hold goods and foundry machinery
loaded into car preparatory to moving
to Minneapolis. During the night the
car and contents were destroyed by fire,
a loss to Mr.. Wyman of at
least $4,000. The only way the fire can
be accounted for is that some thieves
entered the car and after taking what
they wanted set fire to what remained
in order to cover up their theft.
Blue Earth Post: We have heard
considerable talk to the effect that the
legal rates paid newspapers for printing
we're fixed too high. Who says so?
Those who say they know it all, and in
fact havn't one good reason to back
their statements. The salaries for
and state; fees for
justices, ETC., ETC., are fixed by statute.
If the printer is to bid for work, why,
not compel county, state and national
officials to bid for the job-there's GER
tainly more notoriety in any of these
than in print shop.
Armstrong journal: Swindling pho
tographers are operating in Blackhawk
county, among the farmers principally,
and doing good business. They take
the house of the. farmers and play on
the farmers sense of pride by saying
that they are only visiting the most in
auential men of this vicinity, taking
photos of their house for a collection
Of farm property for the Worlds Fair
at St. Louis. In couple of weeks they
appear and demand pay for a batch Of
the finished photographs whether they
have been ordered or not. In many
cases the women are the only parties at
home and they are frightened into
taking the photographs.
Dairy Record: Creamery managers
get in line and pledge that 1c tub to
the National Dairy Union. They need
the money to carry on the fight and we
need their help. If it had not been for
the Dairy Union and its efficient officers
the oleo law would never have been
passed. We can all see the result of
the bill in the reduced output of oleo
and higher prices for butter. Now the
role0 manufacturers are finding means
Of cOlOring the oleO without coming
under the provision of artificial color
ing, and unless some amendments are
passed to cover this the law will soon
be worse than useless and we should
do all in our power to aid the Dairy
Union to down this gigantic fraud.
LIE Sueur News: "lnasmuch as the
county printer is selected from the low
est bidder, why wouldn't it be good
idea to extend the custom to all county
officers and give them to the lowest
bidder. Undoubtedly (?) money could
be saved to the tax payer" Uncle
Pease asked the above in his Anoka
Union and it contains so much good
sense we give it space in the local
column where those may read it who
find fault with the printer, and often
vote inferior men into office without q
word said about salary. In fact, in
this county the only attempt ever made
at cutting prices is on the printer
The others get top notch and per
qulsites.' If you doubt it consult thu
financial statement when published.
