from the whole milk patron by getting
no pay for the fat in his skim milk ana
nothing for his work of skimming at
the farm.
The milk patron is paid for the total
amount of fat in the milk which In
dudes both fat in the skim milk and
rhe cream, but the cream patron may
be paid for the fat in his cream only.
At some factories this difference be-
tween the two patrons is adjusted by
paying the cream patrons a little high
er price per pound OF fat than the milk
patrons. Another arrangement which
has proved fairly satisfactory is to
make some provision for paying the
cream patrons for the fat in his whole
milk, so that both milk and cream
patrons will be on milk-fat basis
This can be done by assuming unit
forn. skim milk test and then add the
skim milk fat to the cream fat; the
sum OF the two representing the fat in
the whole milk from which the cream
was SKINNED. This takes no account
of the farm expense of Swimming, but
the work and cost of machines for farm
skimming are balanced by the better
condition of the cream separated at the
creamery.

City Vacation Schools.

The public, or such of the public as
are obliged through the exigencies of
life to remain through the summer in
the city, is every year more convinced
of the great benefit of vacation
schools It's not so very many years
ago that the idea of vacation schools
would have been thought to be both
crackbrained and wrong, and forcing
little children into school the year
round" been denounced as crying
shame. Now it is commended as the
wisest, kindest and most healthful
thing possible for the children in
crowded tenements. A late issue of
the New York Tribune reports that the
rush for admission to the board of
education's vacation schools. play
grounds and school roof gardens dur
ing the week just ended had been so
great that thousands of children had
been turned away from lack Of room,
and yet the first attendance record
showed that 22,7S0 had been admitted
to vacation schools and 110,329 to
Fairgrounds, while at several roof
gardens the concerts had nightly audi
ences Of more than 5000 each. Per-
sons going past the Eastslde tene-
ments in the morning speak of the
fact that although up to 9 O'Clock the
steps of the houses are crowded with
fretful children, after that time they
mostly disappear. and may be found
in the vacation school or playground,
happy and contented, either playing or
engaged in congenial tasks. The
comfort and improved health of the
children through me Fairgrounds has
been so marked, and the need of
mothers and babies for similar resorts
SO great, that this year New York has
set aside seven Fairgrounds for them,
with the best of results.

SENSATIONAL ELoPEMENT.
Iowa City Stirred by a Romantic
Runaway.

Runaway.
WaYerly, la, Oct. 19.--One of the
greatest sensations which has been
sprung in Waverly in many years has
been occasioned by the departure OF
one woman's husband with another
mans wife. The parties are Hirvey

Of Waverly. Harvey was supposed to
be going to Dubuque TO work at the
time of the alleged elopement. The
companion of his flight is Mrs. Cray
ton Cock, sister of Jerome Kern, who
was murdered by Denlah Fails few
years ago. The clipping couple are
supposed to be living in Minneapolis
as man and wife.
Harvey Dean has led an unusual
life. While still lad ne eloped with
the 15-year-old daughter or a neighbo1
and took her ON a two weeks beating
jaunt. Upon their return his irate
father prescribed a speedy marriage
service which was duly performed
Less than a year later Mrs. Dean with
her infant daughter in her arms APP
pealed to the divorce court. Six
months after the divorce was granted
the couple were remarked. From
that time to the date of the present
escapade nothing had occurred to mar
their domestic felicity
Two years ago Dean. who IS a per
