an active worker in the Political

thousands of young men with tender
aspirations are willing to swear that
it was the same old snake that per-
shaded Eve to do the famous and so
terribly disastrous apple-trick in the
young days of Paradise.
Miss McEnerney considered her
plan not only excellent but also feas-

her friends that in those feminine
generals, they were delighted with it.
Many expressed their willingness to

We're rash enough to do so. 1t was

movement in pro:,er form and for that
reason the meeting of today was call

plan to her breathlessly listening
sisters and their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. After the meeting practically

SOLD 500 MACHINES
Lyle Disposed i 100 of His
Milking Machines for I'M
mediate Delivery

Just as quick as the machinery is
installed in the Lyle Manufacturine
Co.'s plant out west OF town work
will be commenced Oh filling the first
big order the company mas received
for the Good milking machines, which
the company will make a special fea-
ture of. While Mr.. Lytle was III Wa
terloo a few days ago he entered in
to a contract With the Galloway Com
pany to furnish them with 500 of the
Good milking machines, and it is an
order which will give the local COM
pany an excellent start on it's work.
The Galloway Company knows some
thing of the good qualities of the
milking machine, and having seer it
tested =, several points in Iowa be-
fore il vas put on the market they
have u~~iued to make it a special fea-
ture of their business. Special cata-
logues will be sent out to advertise
the milking machine, and the COM
pany is very confident that it will
have no trouble whatever in getting
the machine used by the dairymen
of the country.
The Lyle company has just placed
one of the Good milking machines on
the farm of Mr.. Barth. a few miles
south of town and as soon as one of
the main parts arrives, which it is
thought will reach here tomorrow
night, the machine will be put into
operation. Mr.. Barth is milking
eight cows at the present time but
will increase the number largely with
the ley machine. MI. Lyle will
take a few business men down to
the Barth farm to see the milking
machine in. operation.
The building out west of town is
now fully completed and the machin-
cry for the manufacture of the milk
ing machine is being set up,.ready to
begin work in a very short time. Mr..
Lytle stated that in the course of an
other month other machinery would
be added to the plant for the manu-
facture of other articles. The out
look for the early success of the COM
pany is very fattering.

BEES TIE up RAILROAD
4 Swarm Of Honey Makers Settled Q
Spout At Water Tank and Held

Spokane, Wash, July 19-While
swarm1ng bees are credited with do
ing all sorts of unusual things, prob
ably this is the first time that a queen
and its retinue and subjects COM
pletely tied up a steam railroad. 1t
happened on the Hartman system
at Twin Falls, Idaho, the other day,
when a lusty swarm accomplished
what the national Congress, James
j. Hill and we'll organized agencies
have utterly failed to do.
Tin dishpans, tom-toms, whistles
and other recognized lures failed to
dislodge the swarm, which had set
tied in the spout of the standpipe at
the water tank, where a long train
of freight cars stood on the main line
without sufficient water in the boiler
of the big Mogul to pull out. The
driver and co... -eaver did excellent
team work in trying to reach the
pipe, but the bees gave them a short
shift and the men refused to make
the second attempt.
H. A. Swab, a local expert in bee
matters, bore down upon the scene
to capture the swarm. He was arm
ed with a nail key and two long sticks.
He sent his helper to coax the bees
into the key, but in less than six sec

i've bees up his sleeves, and he made
"a dash toward the railway station.
