does the pastry flour.
Many excellent compressed yeasts
can now be had, and 1t is perhaps not
worth while for a woman who can get
1t fresh to make her own. You will
require one pint of scalded milk, one
tablespoonful Of sugar, one teaspoon
hi of salt, one-third cake of COM
pressed yeast. and. of course, enough
-four to make a stiff dough. Be sure
to measure the milk after 1t has been
scalded
Put the sugar, salt and scalded
milk into n large mixing bowl or
bread pan, stir until the sugar is dis
solved and the milk lukewarm; then
add the yeast. which has previously
been softencd in a little water. Final

Now mold it for a minute or two to

set it to rise in a room Of 70 degrees

old tablecloth. that the top may not
dry out. and leave it in peace for
eight hours. Most people like to put
their bread to rise over night, mixing
1t late in the evening and baking 1t
the first thing in the morning. Or one
can mix it in the morning and bake it
just before dinner.
If 1t has not risen sufficiently in the
allotted time 1t is a sign that the room
was not warm enough during some
portion of the time OF rising. On the
other hand, too warm a room or too
long period of rising will sour the
dough. The proper amount of rise Is
just double the original bulk.
Before baking knead the dough for
five minutes on bread board, to dis
tribute the large bubbles and so make
the bread finer grained. Mixing
knives are now more generally used
than ones fists for this operation.
Lastly, shape it into a loaf by doubling
the edges under again and again until

could see what other parts Of the

further advocated more work result

Manager kahelleck of the Ken
mare Creamery, told of the organ
ization and success of the Farmers
Creamery there. He also advocated
publicity, to increase the interest.
He averred also that if all farmers
would bring their products to the
creamery instead of selling individ-
ually to stores and customers, the
product or farmer would get a bet
ter price. He was asked If the farm
er could not make better butter than
the creamery, also one suggested the
difficulty some farmers had on ship
ping their cream, preferring to take
no chance, and making the butter
themselves. The matter of paying
two prices for butter fats for different
grades was brought up.

and the good butter maker could and
would change it for the better, while
the poor one would not: THE butter

business He urged that a butter
maker should make the acquaintance
of his patrons and through social
channels induce better grade of
cream. "A good politician" said the
lecturer, would make a good but

delivered in the Scandinavian dia-
lect in which "Ole" shakes pocket

and declared he had "yust bane pull

Hon. o. c. Gregg followed as the
next lecturer. He paid neat COM
pliment to the Square jaw and frat
ernal eye of the man who was to fow-
low him, and then interested the
dairymen present by witty remin-
scence and sage remark in the busi-
ness of the convention. He said that
the greater part of the dairying Sc
crets were disclosed except the milk
ing machine, and prophesized that
very soon the dairymen would be
milking COWS with a gasoline engine.
He laid great stress on the value Of
a creamery, and urged all who pos
sibly could to patronize them. First,
because it lessened the labor that
devolved upon the women and asked
that the farmers present give the wo-
men their inning now, by sending
the cream to the creamery. Second,
because proximity to creamery en-
hanced the value of a mans farm.
Third, in order that every farmer
might have more time to study and
think that he might take more in

affairs of the country. Mr.. Gregg
declared that in his opinion some

BIG PRICE FOR RIGHT OF WAY
..st LaMoure; N. D., March with a
verdict of $544.50 rendered as the
value of the land taken, a jury in the
case Of the Midland Continental Ry.
Co. VS.. W.. HI Kadell, returned YER
dict of $2.760 for damages that would
be suffered by the remainder of the
farm owned by the defendant if the
railroad is run across it. The actual
number of acres that the company
wants is just a little over twelve, and
with the cost of that land together
with the damages, it will mean an ex-
penditure of over $275 an acre for
the ground that will be used as right
of-way. Kadell already has the
Northern Pacific railroad running a.
cross his farm in one direction, and
the placing of the Midland line over
it would cut it up in very bad shape,
which was the reason for the high
verdict.

COMET NOT A MENACE
Spokane, Wash, March IF

Spokane, WASH, March 1-"Fore-
casts by so-called scientists in var
ious parts of the country that the
gases in the tail of Halley's comet
will presently poison mankind, or
cause other calamities, may properly
be termed high pressure hot air cur
rents"
Father Adams, s. j., professor of
astronomy at Gonzaga college Of Spo-
kane made the foregoing observation
in referring to statements attributed
to observers in California and else
where.
Halley's comet has been sizzling
around it's ordained orbit century aft
er century, just as it's creator design
ed it to do, said Father Adams, add
ing: ''Were there any devastating
elements in the appendage Of the Wis
itor humanity would have been ex-
terminated regularly every 76 years.
''It seems that such incidents in
earthly affairs would naturally at
tract some attention. They might
even have a slight tendency to affect
the increase of population and check
the progress of human events gen
orally. Very little suspicion along
this line is sufficient antidote for
sensational predictions as to Halley's
comet, even, though they are made by
alleged scientists
Father Adams claims he has def
nitely located the comet, having seen
it through a telescope the night of
February 22, saying:
''The moon is so bright just now
that it is difficult to catch the light
from anything else, but the comet
showed fairly we'll. There were lit
tie streaks out from the edges that I
judge. to be evidences of the tail.
The comet may be visible to the nak
ed eye early in March at the speed
it is travelling, but not sooner. To
locate it, take the line formed by
the two lower stars of the constella-
ton Orion and follow it north to a
point just above the planet Saturn.
On that line above, and slightly west
of Saturn the comet should be found
but not without at least q four inch
glass;"

"HELLo" GIRL STATISTICS

Washington, March 1.-She is not
a telephone girl if she is under five
feet in height. The companies en-
ploy only girls who can reach the top;
of their switchboards and the short
ones never get a chance. Conditions
existing in telephone exchanges
throughout the country are interest
ingly set forth in the report recently
sent to the senate dealing with the in
vestigation made by the bureau of
labor.
The bulk of the report deals with
the women employed-there are u
210 of them working at the switch
boards for twenty-seven companies in
twenty-six states which furnish the
data. Agents of the bureau visited
seventy-three exchanges and found
them, generally speaking, well
housed. In many cases the girls were
compelled to walk up from one to
four flights of stairs and more than
two-thirds of the complaints heard
were because of the lack of elevators.
Wages for telephone girls vary
from a highest monthly average Of
$3.50 in New York City to $22.40
in Nashville, Tenn. In some of the
smaller cities the average goes even
lower, particularly in the south.
The Bell company employees 1926
women operators at an average
monthly wage of $30.91.
In nearly all offices the operating
force is divided into four general
shifts. Day operators usually work
tetween 6 a. m. and 1880 p. m:
Night operators usually work beyond
midnight.
Eficient service is possible up to
s.225 calls an hour for each girl. She
cannot answer more than that with
out injury to herself OF: injuring the
service. The bureau has reached the
conclusion. that the operator who has
not enough to do to keep her con-
stantly busy. however does not prop
erly attend to what she has.

Thursday Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the Dairy
mems association Thursday, was call
ed to order at o'clock by Chairman
Kruempel of LaMoure.
A desultory discussion was carried
on for awhile, during which the
creameries were jolted for not clean
ing the return cream cans better, and
statement was made Of the success
of the LaMoure creamery by Chair
man Kreumpel, they having paid.
he said, over $4,000 to the patrons
during the past year: Theodore Ka-
hallek of Kenmare, discussed the
relation of quantity of butterfat to
the price and averred that a small
creamery could not possibly pay the
same prices that highly patronized
one could.
At 2:15 the program proper was
taken up and Prof. Hacker being un-
avoidably absent, his substitute, Ex-
commissioner Schroeder was intro
duced. He delivered from Prof.
Hacker a message in these words:
"Tell the dairymen of North Dakota
that any farming community that
does not combine dairying with other
farming pursuits, soon comes to
grief" Mr.. Schroeder then deliv-
cred an address of his own. He stat
ed that the reason dairy farming has
not made more progress was due, in
his opinion, to three things, first,
poor butter makers; second, poor
farmers and third, poor cows. He
discussed the COW first and passed her
by with the statement, tho capable
Of great Improvement, the good old
scrub COW that father used to milk
was not SO worse" after all. He
allowed that the farmers should be
induced by better prices for the sweet
cream, to bring it in oftener and thus
secure better grade of butter. AS
long as the good and the bad cream
went in to the churn together and the
patron was paid no more for one than
the other, he did not see how the pa
irons were going to be interested in
making the extra trips to town to
deliver the good cream.
He bore down heavily on the butter

Medina Creamery, who gave an inter-
est'ng talk upon his experiences in

and butter maker, the latter helping
