Butter Scoring.

st. -Buttermakers OF Mime
sofa have issued challenge to the
butter judges Of the country to prove
their competency. They have done
so by announcing that when the four
teenth annual convention of the Min
nesota State Butter and Cheese Max
ers' Association is held in this city
on Oct. 80 and 81 and Nov. they will
offer prizes for a butter-scoring con-
test, which will be open to every but
ter judge, butter maker, or dealer in
the United States. This is new
feature for buttermakers' conventions,
and the contest will be the first of it's
kind ever held.
Members of the Minnesota society
and of other state associations long
have sought to devise a way to test
the efficiency of the men who test
the butter. Butter scorers and judges
never have been entirely free from
suspicion, but competitive matches
have been frowned upon because
there was no standard by which to
judge the judges. This obstacle has
been overcome by pitting them agaist
standards established by themselves.
Under the rules of the contest each
participant will be required to score
twenty-five tubs of butter and then
rescore the same samples. A careful
record will be kept of the markings,
and in rescoring any deviation from
the first set of grades will be counted
against the participant. Where there
is no dissimilarity between the two
sets of scores the judge will be award
ed a perfect grade of 100 points.

st. Paula plan to enable the
smaller banks Of Minnesota and other
Northwestern states to handle COM
mercial paper of the large mercantile
and manufacturing institutions of the
state has been suggested by A. Schae-
fer, public examiner, which is meet
ing with the approval of bankers and
brokers who handle this paper in con-
siderable quantities.
The plan suggested is that the notes
be issued for amounts as low as 1900,
instead of $4,000, as is now the GUS
tom. The object is to enable tue
smaller banks whose capital will not
allow them to purchase the larger
notes to handle this gilt-edge paper
and keep their capital active without
sending large sums Of their surplus
to the New York and Eastern banks.

In Hands of Receivers

On the 9th day of last month Ber-
nard E. Sheibley, OF York, Pa, and
Charles W. Gould, of New York, N.
T., were appointed receivers of the
American Silk Co., operators of the
silk mills at Reynodsville and other
places. The complainants are Lotte
Bros. Co. and Samuel Ruby.
The following note appears on bottom
of notice to creditors and stockholders:
"The receivers have authority to con-
tinue the business of the company.
The assets appear to be far greater
than the liabilities and Il is believed
that this embarrassment, caused by the
present financial conditions and the
inability of the company to make col
lection5 and raise the necessary cash,
will be only temporary. With this end
In view, the complainants are counting
on the hearty cooperation of the cred
itors."

at Nome, Alaska, two years and eight
months, came to Reynoldsyille last
week and will spend the winter with
her mother In this place. She expects
to return to Alaska next year. Miss
Kline says the winters in Alaska are
cold, but the four months of summer
weather is delightful, although the
nights are so cool that people sleep
under blankets and robes. She says
the first winter she spent In Alaska
1t was AZ degrees below zero for six
weeks, but last winter the coolest
weather was only 35 degrees below
zero. On the Main street of Nome the
snow drifts were as high as the second
story windows. In the winter fresh
eggs sell for 25c a piece, or $500 a
dozen, fresh meat 80 cents pound, and
boarding is $50 90 per month. Spring
lamb sells for 81 90 pound. For about
8 months Alaska is shut off from the
outside world on account OF being In
grip Of the ice king. Everybody makes
good wages in Alaska but they have
to pay high prices for everything they
buy. Miss Kline was in the employ OF
the Alaska Bank and Safe Deposit Co.
at Nome a number Of months. She
brought home some stickpins, hatpins,
and necklaces made out of the pure
