I Milk |l''.; Should be Free from I'm.
s.$=.. 81 Durities.

Creamery men in all parts of Mime.
sofa are now planning for an exhibit
ofthe dairy products of this state at
the St. Louis exposition next summer.
Minnesota has emerged from several
contests of this nature, triumphantly
holding aloft the wreath of, victory,
and creamery men are anxious that
our record will be fully sustained at
the coming exposition, where will be
assembled in keen competition the pro-
duct OF the most skillful workers in
this branch of industry from all parts
OF the world. Every creamery in the
state should strive to produce the but.
ter which may be Justly labelled "per.
| felton,
In order for buttermakers to attain
the desired perfection in the quality OF
their product, it is necessary that they
receive the hearty cooperation of the
patrons OF the creamery. If the milk
which is delivered to them is lacking
In richness, or if, as is often the case,
it Is not free from impurities, the but
termaker is obliged to work with a
heavy handicap right from the start
The manager of creamery at St. Hi
la1re recently issued a circular to the
patrons of his creamery in which he
emphasized the Importance of having
milk delivered at the creamery free
FROM all faint or smell. Among other
things he said:
1.-THE first step in making good but.
ter begins with milking. Have the sur
roundings clean; the manure and ev.
erything giving off bad edors removed
and clean bedding put under the COW.
Have the sides of the COW we'll groomed
so that there is nothing offensive or
on her to smell or drop into the pail
Wipe the udder good with clean rag
Whichever way you milk, wet or dry
(dry is used by the best milkers) bt
sure that nothing gets into the milk
Any fault given the milk when milk
ing will stay with it and get into thu
butter. This way of doing the milking
is not the only way, but whatever way
you do it be sure you do it cleanly."
This is a pointer which patrons O
the creameries in this county should
remember. All should be equally in
terested with their buttermaker in pro
ducing the finest and best grade o
butter to be found on the market, be
cause quality is the creator of dem nj
and demand in turn creates the high
est prices for our product.

MAN From Swsd ss'' Made . Hit.

The Elmira Star says of "Knute
Erickson" In "a Man From Sweden":
The audience that enjoyed the fire
production of "The Man From Swe-
den" by Knute Erickson and com.
pany In the opera house last evening
must have been forcibly reminded of
"A Poor Relation" as played by Sol
Smith RUSSELL. It was q fine produc-
ton and all that was promised for it
and more too. The story of the COM
edy drama by Chas. Newton, is {.
pretty one and gives an opportunity
for many fine situations. Erickson
never loses his character of an honest,
bright, brave, diffident Swede. His
dialect is never overdrawn, it is ju- t
natural. He acts to perfection one
of those noble characters who are
loveab!e at all times. which however,
Is not diff ;ult, be cause if reports are
true, he ID that in private life. Much
praise 10 due Master George, s'Little
Jim" Carl's friend. He II 4 very
bright lad and q natural actor. The
supporting company: was creditable.
The interest OF the audience never
tagged and by ripples of laughter and
applause they continually let 1t be
known. II WAS one of those produc-
tlons in which the audience was In
sympathy, and when the hero did q
good brave act, their approval could
not only be felt but heard. Those who
have in times past almost cried and
then laughed over. a Poor Relation
must have had the same enjoyment

WilImar's New Club.

1t is whispered around in certain
circles that Leap Year club Is among
the latest in the way of ladies organ.
izations in Willmar, and during the
Lenten season, when there is general
ly lull in the society world, this new
club promises to become very active
in planning for events to take place
after Easter. We understand that the
main object of the organic alton Is the
securing of life partners for the mem.
bers. As the older members of the
club are. very enthusiastic workers,
there is a possibility that the ranks In
Willmar bachelorhood will be consid.
erably reduced before the year 1905
comes around.
The announcement that there Is such
a club in this city will perhaps cause
no small amount of side. stepping
among the many bachelors here. We
have not learned yet what the full
membership Of the club is, as the do.
ings of the members are very carefully
guarded and it is only now and then
that q secret leaks out. That the mem
bership will be fully as large as any
of the secret societies of Willmar be-
fore the end Of the year is not disput-
ed, as the club proposes to take into
its ranks all candidate who have ar
rived at the manageable age, and the
many pleasant entertainments to be
provided during the present leap year
for the bachelor friends will be an in
ducement for many maids to join.
Now watch the list OF marriage Ii.
censes grow as the result OF leap year
proposals.
In speaking of similar organiza-
ton at St. Cloud the Times of that
city says:
SIT has been learned that in forming
the compact three things were agreed
upon aud solemnly sworn to; namely,
the first girl to snare fellow Is to be
entertained by the other members OF
the club at q banquet and the last girl
who makes good Is to entertain all the
successful ones. The girl who fails to
capture fellow is to be expelled.
1t is most likely that the Willmar
club has adopted the same agreement.
The facts are bound to leak out later,
and in the meantime there is much
guessing in all quarters regarding the
success of the organization in keeping
its members in good standing. OF
course there will be no occasions aris-
ing for air-pulling or anything OF
that sort. The members are all sworn
to be of the most agreeable nature.
For the purpose of assisting the club
in it's object, the TRIBUNE will later
publish q complete list OF Willmar's
eligibles along matrimonial lines, to-
qether with their characteristics. They
will certainly show up we'll, as few
cities in the state can boast of finer
assortment of both young and old
bachelors. OF course the TRIBUNE Is
exempt from the list.
AS an inducement to ladies maxim &
leap year proposals Clerk OF Court
Ramsett promises to furnish licenses
free of cost to the fair applicants who
will call in person. >..' !
Note.-Should the city editor have
mistaken ideas regarding this ladies
movement, the promoters are kindly
requested to call around and give hin
information that will set matters right,
