Butter too Moist.

Selling butter which contained
twice as much per cent of moisture as
the law allows has landed the J. d.
Bickel Produce company of McGregor
in the hands of the law with the re-
suit that a fine of 5000 has been as.
sessed against the corporation by the
government. The discovery that the
Bickel butter contained 80 per cent of
moisture when all the law allows is
sixteen was made in Chicago by an
agent of the internal revenue office
who found ninety tubs of the produce
in commission house there. 1t had
been made in Mason City, where one
of the company's creameries is
located. The license which a manu-.
facture of 'adulterated butter must pay
is 5000 every six months and the
penalty which is assessed against the
company is half that or $500.

Howard County New Interurban.

A movement has been started by
the people of the town of Protivin and
vicinity to build new electric road
which is to run through the southern
part of Howard county, and connect
with some of the stations along the
G. M. & st. p, road. A committee
has been appointed under the presi-
dency of Rev. r. Lakomy of Protivin
to thoroughly discuss the matter and
to devise ways and means whereby
the success of the road is to be in
sured. A mass meeting of all people
concerned in the matter has been
called at Protivin for July 4, on which
occasion Prof. F. A. Bouska of the
Iowa State college at Ames will ex-
plain the necessity of building the
road. Protivin being thriving town
located in the very heart of a fertile
country, but fourteen miles from the
nearest railroad station, it is evide mt
that the projected road would give
great aid in the transportation of farm
products and also add to the comfort
of the people in general. For these
reasons the people are anxious to have
the road and are willing to help the
company to the very best of heir
ability.

and badly cut and his left leg injured
below the knee before the team was

|! allowing directors pay for attending
annual meeting.
90 Having discussed the matters
enumerated under (5), above, the board
is now ready to determine the amounts
needed in the several funds, Teachers,
Contingent and School-house, for
running the schools next year. Make
no needless expense, and in expanding
any funds be as careful, if not more
so, than you would be in expanding
your own funds. Make as liberal
allowance for teachers wages as is
consistent with your needs and funds.
Wages are now very fair. Keep them
at present standards at least.
ca Determine what amount, be-
tween FIVE and FIFTEEN cents, the
treasurer shall withhold for library
purposes, and request secretary in
school township corporations to change
the books from one district to another
when delivering the new books pur-
chased this fall In those schools
where no library case is yet provided
arrange for securing one this summer.
In some districts l find very large and
rather expensive cases. l would re-
commend case worth five or six
dollars at most. For this amount you
can secure one that is suitable to the
needs of the school, and also leave
more contingent fund for other sup
plies. believe in liberal support of
the school, but l also believe we
should receive full return for every
dollar expended.
(S) Decide what powers the sub
director is to have in making contracts
for supplies, and also in allowing
HOLIDAYS to teachers. 1t seems no
general rule prevails as to allowing
teachers the time in attending meet
ings. or for holidays. think it is
fair to allow teacher perhaps not
more than two days in any year, to
attend any educational meeting in the
locality where she teaches. In the
past it has happened that in the same
school township some teachers have
been allowed for attending meeting
and others have been required TO make
up the time Make a uniform rule
governing this matter and place it on
record for future reference.
The outline given above may not
mention in detail the many different
kinds of business demanding your con .
sideration at the July meeting but it is
suggestive, and any business will fall
under some one of the headings given.
1 am not trying to dictate what boards
shall do. Far from that. l am trying
to suggest helpful routine of
business so the work NAV be accom-
plished more quickly without emitting
any necessary business.

General Suggestions.

In the past have placed considera-
BILE emphasis upon having shade trees
planted on the school grounds, and
having the grounds fenced and kept in
good condition. I wish to again re.
quest that an effort be made to get at
least TWELVE shade trees growing
on every school house site in the
county. Protecting the trees and
shrubs that are set out needs more
attention 1 find on great many
school sites that trees have been
planted out, and left so that the
stock of the neighborhood, when
turned out to Craze the lanes, have
browsed off the young trees and shrubs,
or have trampled them off. Worse
still, l find in some places that people
driving across the grounds have
driven over the shrubbery and so in
jured it that it dies. On sites where
trees are already growing nicely l find
that the trees have been used for
hitching posts, and horses have peeled
the bark off so that the trees die soon
after. In this way tree that has
been ten years in growing is ruined in
ten minutes by horses. I hope the
practice of tying to the trees will be
forbidden by the board, and the matter
brought to the attention of everybody
so no one will thus destroy any more
trees. Fencing the grounds will
prevent this. but fencing them may
not be possible at present owing to the
deficit in the contingent funds.
Arrangement for School Terms.
I have been studying ON the matter
of arranging the time for the different
school terms in this county and it seems
that we might arrange for having more
schools in session in September and
October.
am coming to think that three
months in winter, commencing about
November twentieth, will make a goot
arrangement for the winter terms an(

Mohave County miner., 1906-02-03

The boilers at the Tennessee mine are being repaired and put in shape to start up work on the property within the next twenty days. s. R. Rhea will have charge of the mine and an- other gentleman will take charge of the mill. It is understood that the tailing pits will be worked over and the zinc saved. In the mine there is said to be good ore bodies and these will be worked on.
Mohave County miner., 1906-02-03

A carload of immensely rich ore is being hauled from the Keystone mine, Mineral Park, to the railroad, whence it will be shipped to the Humbolt shelter. This ore is from the south vein of the Keystone and to the west of the main shaft.
Mohave County miner., 1906-02-03

The Samoan mine has over five cars of ore ready at the station at Chloride for shipment to the Needles shelter. The ore is said to be of a better grade than former shipments from this prop erty. At the mine the shaft is now being driven downward with big air drills. The cross country drift has passed through the Samoan vein close to the shaft and at the same depth and will be driven on to the other veins farther up the mountain.
 Superintendent Douglas, who has the Elkhart mine under bond, is ship ping two or three carloads of ore per week from the old ores on the dumps. Heretofore these ores would not pay to ship but under the new order of things a good profit can be realized. It is quite probable that the mine will be put in shape to make a large monthly output of low grade ores, which can be shipped without dressing in the mill.
