mittee of five to submit perman-
ent plan of organization and draft a
constitution and bylaws, as follows:
r. C. Todd, X. Phillips, j. r.

was La Junta visitor the first of
the week on official business and
during his brief stay inspected all Of
the dairies in this city. He would
not express himself for publication
as to which was the best or which
was the worst dairy located here
abouts, but volunteered the infor-
nation that some of them needed
fixing badly and that none of them
were conducted strictly along san
itary lines as they should be. There
is not a single dairy, in his opinion,
that could not be improved upon
and be less of a menace to the pub

A very devout Presbyterian
clergyman in the middle west had
just married couple. and offered a
fervant prayer. invoking the divine
blessing upon them. AS they
seemed to be worthy folk and not
overburdened with this worlds
goods. he prayed, among other
things, for their material prosper
ity. and besought the Lord to in
crease the mans business. laying
much stress on this point. In filling
out the blanks it became necessary
to ask the mans business. and to
the minister's horror he said, Il
keep saloon" In telling the story
to his wife afterward the clergyman
said that as he wrote down the oc-
cupation, he whispered: Lord, you
needn't answer that prayer"
