A Fire Alarm.

The sounding of the fire alarm
shortly before noon Saturday called
the department to the home of Fred
Walter in West DEBORAH where a
bonfire close to his barn was likely
to set the barn on fire. Before the
department arrived it was extin-
guished by the neighbors. The water
had been shut off from the adjacent
hydrants so that the department
could not have secured a stream of
water if they had wanted to.

Over Five Hundred Licensed Hunters

Some time ago we started out to
print the names of those who took
out hunters licenses in Winneshiek
county, but the list grew so rapidly
from week to week that we gave it
up. Up to date Auditor Linnevold
has issued 535 licenses from his
office, and new names are coming in
daily. We understand that about
the same ratio is experienced
throughout the state, which at one
dollar each, makes neat sum for
the use of the fish and game warden
in protecting fish and game in this
state. The license does not place a
burden upon anyone, except the
county auditors, and will result in
much better shooting and fishing in
Iowa.

is in the throes Of milk famine Il
an ordinance recently passed BY the
common council is enforced. AM
nouncing that they will be unable to
comply with that provision Of the
dairy and creamery ordinance adopt
ed BY the City Council month ago
which goes into effect tomorrow. re-
quiring them to keep milk disposed
Of to customers at temperature not
exceeding 90 degrees, many dairymen
have notified their patrons that they
will be unable to supply them with
the fluid after today. Other dairyn1en
have informed their regular custom
ers that in order to comply with this
provision Of the ordinance they will
be forced to place ice in their wagons,
entailing greater expense and incFeas-
ing the selling price Of milk.
In the opinion of DR.. Esther PohL
City Health Officer, this move on the
part Of dairynen is merely subter-
fuge in order to avoid complying with
other provisions Of the Law. The law
in this respect is said to be modelled
on that Of New York and other large
eenters Of population, the theory BE-
ing that at low temperature bacteria
do not develop in milk 50 rapidly as
when the temperature is higher.
'The ordinance was passed BY the
City Council on recommendation IL
the Board Of Health" said DR.. Pohl,
and contains many provisions. The
general intent Of the law is to force
dairymen and proprietors Of creamer-
les and other places where milk Il
sold, to keep their places in sanitary
condition Of course, these men can
not come out in the open and object
to cleaning up, but are forced to pick
out this one provision in the orii
nance and make their fight with il,
ostensibly, as the object Of attack.
