"A Good Thing.

Mrs. Keller Is about to call a
cheese makers meeting at her home
to discuss the advantages to be de-
rived in financial way by the farm
er and stock-grower from the keep

pose Of sending the milk to cheese

,derstands the business, having been
actively associated with her husband
in the conduct of the business in the

Too Busy for Politics.
The homesteaders of Stanley coun-
ty widely advertised meeting to be
held at Philip yesterday, but the at
tendance was rather small. Only
about thirty people assembled IN
the Grand opera house when the
meeting was called to order by
Chairman Edward Waterwood. The
small attendance can be explained
only by the fact that the people are
busy now with their haying opera
tions and the further fact that in
terest in local politics has been lag

t1tition has been circulated and is
at the present time being considered
by the county commissioners with
every prospect of favorable action
thereon. This has been the chief
issue with the homesteaders, and
with it settled, they have no desire
to take further action in politics. "A
motion was made and carried that

Stanley county has been much in

good reason, but when farmers and
homesteaders are asked to let their
haying and other farm work go to
attend meetings they are being asked
too much. Winter is the best time
