Contest a Tie.

St Paul-Oficials of the dairy and
food commission are wondering to
whom should they award the first
prize in the butter scoring contest.
Allie Olson of Hector and Alfred
Schroeder of Lafayette each scored 81,
and under the rules of the commission
there is no way of ascertaining who is
the winner.
1t has been suggested that coin be
dipped to see who gets the prize, but
should this coarse be decided on, there
is a question as to who should receive
the second prize. A. G. Schandall of
Elmore scored 96H, the score next to
the highest, and would naturally re-
ceive the second prize. A. G. Schan-
got the second prize, the man who
scored 81, but lost on the Zip" would
get nothing. ]. F. Kielty of Watkins,
who scored 96H, expects the third
prize. The first prize is SIS cash,
the second So and the third So.

The pottery from their long wrecked
