Ben" Goes to Presho

Not Ben Tillman, but our very able
and most respected and beloved Prof.
Ben Bowers, who has just closed an
other successful term IS principal OF
the Corona Schools. Mr.. Bowers Is
not only an able educ ator, but he is a
mar of sterling character. Men like
"Ben'' are today most eagerly sought
for everywhere, and it is no surprise
to his many friends to see him go to q
larger and more renumarative field of
labor. That famous Club at Corona,
The Bachelors" held a special meet
ing to bid Ben q hearty farewell, and
the club certainly knows how to say
good bye to one of its members. Mr..
Bowers was presented with q keepsake
in memory of his Bachelorfriends and
after he warmly and most sincerely
thanked the Boys for their kind ex.
preston of friendship, every one
turned in to have q good time. Our
tonsorial artist, Brother Lindquist,
rendered some very good songs and
music in Swedish and English, and
the Bachelors all nov declare that he
is q fine "Warbler." Every n In

It was a great invention that was
given to the dairy world when the
Babcock tester was discovered. The
influence which it has exercised upon
the dairy industry would not be easy

wanted, however, that has not been
invented yet. 1t is some instrument
that will readily tell the amount Of
filth in the milk. Is it impossible to
invent such an instrument? = Orange
