Guthrie, Okla, Dec. Following
out the mandate Of the supreme court
in issuing pre-emptory writ OF man
damus compelling the issuance Of a

the bank commissioner has no dis
cretionary powers under the banking
laws of the state, Bank Commissioner
II. II. Smock has issued a certificate

to accommodate the business; also
that the officers Of the bank were not
experienced bankers. William G.
Bolts is president Of the new bank.

EARTHQUAKE HORROR GROWS
IN MAGNITUDE

pestilence will follow the destruction
Of the towns, where, on account of
the vast havoc wrought, bodies viii
lie unburied for days and weeks
Those who escaped death, many OF
whom are badly injured, are making
their way by the thousands to the
nearest place of refuge. Their suf-
ferings even now must be intense, as
they are without food or clothing.
Latest reports received here state
that four thousand soldiers in the
various barracks at Messina were bur-
led under the ruins. The rock Of
Charybdia now blocks the entrance to
the strait OF Messina. The tidal wave
wrecked The lighthouse in the strait,
including Faro beacon and they crush,
ed into the sea.
Messina, whose tragic history has
been marked by tidal waves, and war,
and which was the center of this mael-
strom. was shaken to ruins Flames
burst forth to complete the city's de-
struction and to burn alive untold
numbers Of helplessly pinioned beneath
the fallen walls and broken timbers.
The strait Of Messina was shaken
and twisted by the earth's trembling,
for mariners report the channel al
tered beyond recognition. The ports
and villages on both the continental
and Sicilian sides were wrecked or
inundated and all lighthouses along
the coast we're swallowed up. Naviga-
ton now is dangerous.

CREAM HAULING.
Care Must Be Taken to Keep Cool and
Prevent Shaking Up.

1t often happens that cream which
has been well cared for at the farm
is damaged during transportation to
the creamery. The cream-gathering
wagon starts out early in the morning,
and the first cream which it collects
must remain on the wagon until it re-
turns at night. This trip when taken
in the hot days of summer or cold
days of winter is apt to be injurious
to the quality of the cream, and it's
protection from these extreme temper
atures is a problem which must be
solved if the butter made from it is to
grade as extra in quality. The cream
carrying receptacle, whatever it is,
should be well insulated and provided
with float to prevent churning during
transportation. Different styles of
cans, barrels and tanks are now used
for this purpose. The creamery should
make every provision possible for
keeping the cream in a sweet condi
ton until it is received at the fac.
tory.
When patrons fail to take good care
creameries adopt the practice of grad
ing it and keeping the tainted, sour
cream separate from that of good
quality. Two grades Of butter are
made and the farmers are paid for the
kind Of butter which their cream
makes.
These problems in regard to farm
separator cream are important ones.
The creamery owner and the butter
maker together with the farmer will
have to shoulder his share of the re-
sponsibility of upholding the standard
of American butter and the condition
of the creamery industry five years
from now will show how well this
work has been done.-E. H. Earring

All That Is Needed Is Careful Man.
agement and Good Cows.

Those who think that there is no
money in dairying should remember
that there are countries in Europe
where land is valued at several hun
dred dollars an acre, yet money is be-
ing made out Of it by dairying. The
same markets are open to us as are
open to the men who work on these
lands, and no duty bars the way. How
do they ever make dairying pay under
such conditions? The difference be-
tween their methods and ours is large
ly to be found in the fact that in these
countries they demand an average
butter production of about 800 pounds
from each COW, while we are jogging
along with little more than 100
pound average. This country needs an
awakening in regard to the possibili-
ties Of improving our dairy conditions
by selection of COWS.
When we get up in the morning with
disordered temper and everything
seems to be on the way to the eternal
bowwows, it's pretty hard to convince
ourselves that there is much poetry in
living, after all. It's a good deal easier
to grunt then, and we grupt just be-
cause it is less exertion than to do
anything else. It's swimming against
the stream that makes strength and
vigor and really makes life worth liv-
ing. It's doing our everyday work
well that constitutes at once our duty
and our happiness. It's mighty hard
60 see all this poetry some days, but,
unless we try and figure it out for our
selves, we never will see it. The fell
low who puts off gaining pleasure for
holiday and doesn't get any out of
everyday living is going to be fooled.
The habit will grow on him.
This characteristic called tact is
great thing for any man to possess,
but the butter-maker should be load
ed down with it. Yet he wants to
have the right kind. Rogues are usu-
ally tactful; in fact, it is one of their
chief stocks in trade. It's tactful dis
honesty that they have, and the fact
that they get caught at their game
proves that tact alone will not save
them. Tactful honesty is the kind
that wins, and this is the kind the but
ter-maker must have in order to sue
coed. A butter-maker with twice as
much tact as experience will make
a success in a creamery where the fell
low with twice as much experience as
tact will fail. The creamery butter
maker who knows how to get out Of
trouble with an irate patron and knows
how to keep the next patron from
"'ketchin' the same disease is going
to get there all right, and you needn't
worry about him a little bit.
