NICOLLET COUNTY IS RICH.
IL Has S25, 900 in Her Treasury and
No Debts.
or,c Doi1

With $4,000 in her treasury and
without a cent of outstanding indebt-
edness, Nicollet county is in financial
condition that is the envy of her neigh
bors. This state of affairs by no means
displeasing to the taxpayers, is result
of the unusually light expense connect
ed with the recent term of court. As
a matter of fact, however, Nicollet has
never known real financial trouble
Since the organization of the county it
has never postponed payment on war
rant. Three years ago, after the fam
Gus Tanke murder trial, there was a
deficit of $4,000, but this was carried
by the local banks. 1t resulted in an
increase from four to six mills i'm the
county tax rate, but this has since been
reduced to five and next year will drop
back to normal.

FINED FOR POETRY WRITING.
John O. Davis Penned a Piece, The
Lonely Tiger Lily"

Redwing, Nov S.-Mrs. Harriet E..
$4,000 as damages, because he wrote an
alleged poem called ''The Lovely Tiger
Lily" got a verdict for 81. While the
Jury did not believe that Mrs. Nelson
has suffered anything by the so-called
verses, they were of the opinion that
any man so foolish as to write such
poetry, particularly man of standing
in the community, should certainly pay
the cost of the trial. A stay of pro-
ceedings of sixty days was granted, and
the end of the legal proceedings may not
be yet.

Committees Named
President Credicott announced the APP
pointment of the following committees:
On Transportation to the National
Convention at Chicago-E. J.. Allen,
Ashby; G. Z. Lindahl, Long Siding; c.
W. Sly, Lake Crystal.
On Resolutions-John Lindberg, Foss
ton; Edwin Head, Nicolet; J. w. Rey-
nolds, Eagle Lake.
A. c. SchandeI of Elmore read a pa
per on STARTERS" He advocated whole
milk and told his process. If the start
er was not ripe enough it would make
bad flavor, and he would rather have
it too ripe. This created some discus
sion. President Credicott said that his
experience showed that the statements
in the paper were correct. Opinions of
different members who spoke differed.
j. c. Joslin of this city, an inspector
of the state dairy and food department,
spoke upon the subject, inspection of
/ Local Creameries" He said that this
| inspection has been instrumental in
bringing Minnesota to the front as re-
CARDS quality of the product. Iowa and
Wisconsin are putting in additional in
| spectors, following the plan of Mime
good. There should be at least an an
nual inspection, and it would be better
| if oftener DONE Some creameries have
been found that have not been inspected
for three or four years. An increased
number of inspectors would be needed
to make oftener inspections, but the
dairy and food commission cannot put
these on without a larger appropriation
| from the legislature. The dairy division
of the commission is hampered by lack
of funds, and the butter and cheese
men could do good by working with the
| legislature for a more liberal appropria-
ton The creameries will be more fully
| covered by inspection this year than
ever before. The inspectors should COM
mend as well as condemn.

to be expected, and it was long past
the announced hour when the president,

convention to order. The main inter

fair attendance at the forenoon session.
The merchants ,heeded the request of
Mayor Taylor, and many of the stores
and business buildings were decorated
with the colors of the association, red,
white, blue and gold. Banners express
inc the welcome were to be seen here
and there.
The officers of the association were all
on hand this morning. They are MIR.

of Collato, vice president; f. i. Allen
of Ashby. secretary; and \. w. Par
kin of Stanton, treasurer.
Several displays of machinery and APP
paratus used in up-todate creameries
and daires were exhibited at various
points along Front street, notably on
the first floor of the Union block
Welcomed by Mayor Taylor.
Mayor Taylor extended hearty well
come to the convention, in a brief adj
dress that opened the convention. He
said that on behalf of the people of
the city he took great pleasure i'll ex-
tending the hospitality of the city.
Your organization" he said, "has been
great blessing to the state. Through
your efforts the state has become
known as the banner butter state of
the union. Again | welcome your"
James Sorenson of Lyndale gave the
their welcome. The delegates were glad
that Sney were here, and the only re-
greet was that they could not stay long
or. There will be no need of extra po-
lice, for the delegates are a most or
derby class of people. The delegates are
glad to get away on IA vacation, but
they want TO learn how to make still
better butter and cheese, even though
the state compares favorablv now with
any other part of the world in butter
and cheese products. There is room
for Improvement and we are not the
the start.
The better the butter the more the
demand, for pound of good butter
does not last as long on the table as
pound of poor butter. There are $4,000
farmers in the state who supply milk
and cream to the creameries, and these
are all interested in improving the pro-
duct The state has one of the best
dairy schools in the world, conducted by
IL most enterprising and enlightened
man, Prof. Hoecker The butter and
cheese makers have shown their appre
citation of the school by attending it in
large numbers every year.
Presidents Annual Address.
President Credicott gave his annual
address, in which he made some ex
cellent points. He spoke of the bene-
fit of the social feature, which has been
fostered by the association, and has
done as much as anything to bring the
producing section. The association is in
prosperous condition both financial
ly and in the support of the members.
The speaker urged all to take member
ships in the association. He said that
the latter is on poor footing as to
aid from the state. The Dairymen's as
ISOLATION has large appropriation. The
good that our association is doing en-
titles it to some recognition and aid
from the state. If the. members get
