The law that forbids saloon to
be located within 800 feet of a school
house gives saloonkeepers three
years to move and comply with the
law. The only place the law affects
Hudson is near the First ward
school house. At least five saloons
will be affected by it. Some have
expressed the idea that it will be
cheaper to move the school house
than the saloons, Hudson True Re-

done.-Hudson Star Times.

A number of farming communi
ties have lost in population since
previous censuses were taken. Prob
ably the occasion for this may be
seen in the changed methods Of
farming-stock raising taking the
place of grain raising. 1t does no
require so much help in these re
cent methods as in the former. The
use of improved machinery in cul
tivating the land also has tenden
cy to reduce the number of employ
ees.
