L. Wardwell. the prominent Wall
street broker. Mr.. Wardwell pur-
chased a small flock from Mr.. Davi-
son and then started in to beat Mr..
Dawson at his own game. Whether
or not he has succeeded, will be de-
termined by competent judges at the
Denver show January 18th to GARD.
1t had been planned to decide the
matter at the International in De-
cember, but the quarantine In New
York just before that show prevented
them from taking their flocks to
Chicago. But both are impatient at
the delay and it has been arranged
that II the quarantine is lifted, both
will come to Denver with their flocks
and here submit to the test as to
whether Dawson is still the king Of
Shropshire breeders or whether
Wardwell has usurped the throne.
Sheepmen all over the country are in
tensely interested and while Dawson
and Wardwell are both personal
friends, both are anxious to win. Mr..
George Allen, the veteran breeder Of
Nebraska has been selected to Judge
the two flocks.

DETECT THE MINT THIEVES.

D1lHS4 AAAAH EsAAAN = AAAAA AAhSs
A firm In Philadelphia has recently
sold to the japanese government one
of their X-ray machines for novel
purpose, reports the New York Post.
The representatives of Japan who
placed the order said that In the gov
|ernmental minis great many gold
dollars are coined and there has
been considerable loss through dis
honest employees swallowing the
small coins and thus taking them out
OF the minis. There has been no way
OF preventing this until a clever Off
cial suggested the use Of the X-rays,
and the machine was ordered at
once.
1t is not proposed to put every em-
ploye to the test when leaving the
mints, but he will be searched by
electricity from time to time, unex-
pectedly, and any one Of the employees
may be called up at any time to I'M
dergo the test. 1t is believed that
the fear OF detection will prevent the
stealing, at least in the form now
used. 1t Is suggested that a machine
might be used with profit in the
South African diamond fields to
make the black laborers honest. The
field for x-rays in this direction
seems to be large.

MADE A DISCOVERY.

At meeting OF the Village I'm
provement Society held on Tuesday
afternoon, 1t was made known that
the rest rooms having been kept
heated and open for the use Of the
country people for about month,
and nobody having ever entered II
during that period, 1t might better be
closed to save the coal bills.
This brings up the question, who
knew it was open to the public?" and
"How should the farmers find 1t
out?"
Our comment on the matter will be
found on the editorial page under the
heading, "A strange oversight"

Secretary's Report.

! During the past year the society
has been able to accomplish few
| things that at first seemed impossi.
| BILE and improbable.
The outgoing officers willed us the
agitation of the purchase of the GEM
etery by the city, norder to give the
society the right to beautify the Gem
etery. Through the working mem
bers and with the aid of some of our
citizens in the way of temporary
loans 1t was possible for us to pur-
chase the cemetery and hold it in
trust until the city could hold spe-
cial election and make provision for
taking it off Of our hands. This was
| finally accomplished, all loans re-
turned and now with the full consent
of the city council identifying can
begin in earnest
Two cleanup days in the cemetery
brought out goodly number of
workers and made good showing in
the cemetery.
The mile of Pennies that was
started in order to raise funds toward
cemetery work, has placed the sum of
$165.94 in our treasury for that
work.
In April our society was asked to
look after the entertaining of teach
ers during the association meeting
here, which we did in the way of So
liciting entertainment for them at
private homes.
In February the "Old Maids Con-
vention was given, which netted us
$92.l0 toward the mile of Pennies"
fund.
The Jubilee Singers" entertain
ment netted us the sum of 1925.
The Tots Carnival" netted $20.45,
the ball game by the Fats and Leans,
SIT.
The v. /. s. boxes have been emp
tied twice. In June our society So
licited and planned lunch for the
cleanup day in the town, but as only
one man worked, our lunch and help
was not needed.
The mile of Pennies" committee
sent out one hundred and fourteen
letter to all owners Of lots, asking
for pennies to help toward the work
in the cemetery. Fifteen replies
were received and cash to the amount
of $27.50 was raised In this way.
On September 8th, the society de-
cided to rent the present club rooms
and after good work by the commit
tee in planning the cleaning, repairs
and furnishings we now have our
own pleasant society rooms. Through
the efforts of our president and her
helpers rest room was established
during the fair at the fair grounds.

The montnly meeting and annua
election of officers was held at the
club rooms on Tuesday of this week
The regular business was first dis
posed of and appreciation extended
efficient committee workers. The re.
port Of the secretary is appended to
this article and speaks for itself. The
treasurer reported $444.76 now on
hand. The chairman of the club
room committee reported $45.05 in
come earned by the rooms and sale
of guilt since the rooms were estab-
lished. The secretary was ordered to
write letter of appreciation to Gov
ernor Brady for the liberal donation
OF electric lights for one year. Mrs.
Gagon, the retiring president, then
made short address covering the
most important work that had been
accomplished and showing that the
way was now clear for good cemetery

ballots prepared with the following
result:

Second vice president, Mrs. Chap
man.
Secretary, Mrs. Trego.

After the new officers had been
escorted to their seats "a rising vote
of thanks was extended to the retir-
ing officers and committees. A mo-
ton was then adopted that the So
ciety give annually comedy enter
tainment as a means of securing
'unds for future work. This
thought was inspired by the success
and wholesome amusement afforded |
~ presenting the "Old Maids Con-
vention," last year. 1t was also sug-
gested that another year the society |
might be interested in skating pond |
,or the use of the younger people and |
Of the town. An adjourn
nent was then in order.

Practical Experiments Planned BY
the State at Hebron.
Investigation to the end that North
Dakota's deposits of 100000, O00, 900
tons of Ignite coal may he put to
practical use will be conducted at the
new state mining experimental station
at Hebron. Professor w. B. Snyder.
formerly connected with the school OF
mines at the university, has gone to
Hebron. where he will take charge OF
the station and get the work under
way. He has just returned from a
four months trip through Eastern
coal mining districts, making his last
stop at Duluth. where he looked into
the %briquetting industry.
The equipment at Hebron will be OF
the very highest class. The chemical
department is especially good and at.
fords an opportunity for elaborate
work. The several propositions to be
worked out in connection with the
ignite coal situation are the posi-.
bility of briquetttng the product, also
the determination of its value as a
gas-making fuel. Some work has al.
ready been done along these lines at
the school of mines, the experiments
proving uniformly satisfactory.
The experimental station building
will be erected al early as possible
that the work may be taken up by the
first Of the year.
