new CREAMERY
FOR GWY1nER
E Frs OF THE VICINITY
ORGANIZE TO BUILD AND
OPERATE CREAMERY
Farmers Are Assisted in the Work
of Organization by Assistant Dairy
Commissioner Pierce.

The Farmers Creamery Company OF
Gwyther, Morton county, perfected its
organization on Tuesday, assisted by
Assistant Dairy Commissioner Pierce.
The officers elected are: M. G.
Caddell, president; Wesley Baker,
ST., vice-president; J. T. Boyd, sec
rotary; P. J. Gwyther, treasurer.
Board Of directors: Steven Koppy,
NJ. J. Taylor, Chester Dutton.
Construction work will begin" i'm.
mediately with expectations of hav.
ing the plant in operation this fall.
All the labor possible in connection
with the building will be done by the
farmers themselves in order to reduce
the necessary cash outlay to min
imum.
Other localities in Morton county
are agitating the creamery subject
and Morton county will evidently
maintain it's record of being the ban
ner dairy and creamery county In the
state. .

the affair has been thoroughly adver-
tised all over the United States, for
the newspapers of the state reach out
to every state of the Union. Joined
with tie state press are the leading
citizens of the different counties who
have become actively engaged in pre-
pairing exhibits and when the day of
opening comes, Sept. rs, there will
be few counties not represented in
the list of exhibits. The fact that the
railways of the state have decided to
give reduced passenger rates will
prove a big factor in attracting people
to the state capitol for short stay.
And it comes at time of the year
when the people are not crowded by
home duties. 1t is the excursion sea-
son and will be made the occasion of
pleasant and inexpensive outing for
thousands who feel that they are en-.
titled to rest and recreation.

ACCOUNT OF Winters
HUNT1HIR1YYEARS Ago

Thirty years ago, The Register,
published at Chamberlain, S. D., print
ed the following item which at the
time was of little consequence, but
now it's makes very interesting read
ing:
James Duggan called at our land
ing last week, on his way to St. Louis,
with ten tons of buffalo meat. His
party consisted Of four, who killed
last winter, 1000 buffaloes. Duggan
himself killed $50 buffaloes, 125 black
tail deer, 80 antelope, IS elk (32 at one
sitting). He states that owing to the
late severe winter, over 100000 buffa-
loes were killed and still he says the
country between Cannon Ball and
Little Missouri is full of them. He
paid as high as $50 sack for flour
and 20 cents a pound for salt last
winter. He expects to return again
next winter"

CONDENSED MILK
Under THE BAN

DULUTH, MINI Aug. 25-'TO make
that label accurate, the manufacturer
should add to his directions for use
the words, DO this and we will guar.
antee your infant to de-" said Presi.
ident George L. Flanders, the pure
food man, during the discussion of
label on a can of condensed milk
that George B. Taylor of Louisiana
had purchased in a Duluth grocery.
The Objectionable label in question
instructed mothers purchasing this
can for young infants to dilute it with
from fourteen to sixteen parts of
water. Mr.. Taylor. who offered the
can in evidence. pointed out that this
would reduce the butter fat percent
age of the fluid given to the infant to
less than five tenths of 1 per cent,
and the fluid would be starvation
ration. and if persistently admins
tered would literally result in the
starvation of the infant.
This brought out a general discus
sion of the condensed milk question
and the standards to be required of
the makers. There was general
opinion that the present government
standard was high and that II was
really difficult for lot of the manu-.
facturers to come up to it. AS re
suit they were forced to mark their
labels with the percentage of solids
which their product really contained.
Commissioner Hansen and Chemist
Harms from Utah. stated that in
their high attitudes it was impossible
for the most conscientious manufac-
turer to come up to the government
standard, and that consumers were
wary of the product which showed the
lower percentage of solids.
Chemist Bryan of Illinois thought
that the percentage labels worked no
hardships, and stated that they had
required manufacturers to mark their
goods so as not only to indicate the
percentage of solids but to show the
ratio with the standard.
Commissioner DeBarr of Oklahoma,
reported the discovery of milk pow:
der containing a large percentage OF
lime. This, he said was particularly
harmful, as when mixed with sugar
in ice cream it formed a very poison
GUS compound.
AT the close Of the argument a
resolution was offered by Commits
sioner Taylor, and referred to the
committee on resolutions, to cover
the subject. It was:
"Resolved that we urge the enact,
ment of legislation to require the
manufacturer of evaporated and con-
densed milk to declare upon the label
the amount of water to be added to
give these products the strength re-
quired by government standards for
fresh milk.
This is the second resolution to
go to the committee, the first being
the Wiley resolution.

CAN A. MAN OF FIFTY MARRY?

so years of age John Guam of Pekin

sented itself he made application for
a marriage license, Carrie Olson of
this city, 60 years of age, being his
bride.
The marriage is record breaker
for Ramsey county, although Judge
Henry has had the honor of marrying
couples where the men were as old as
80 years, but has never had the honor
of marrying a couple where both were
past the fifty mark. The happy affair

Wonderful Rise Of Sir Ernest CasseI

Sir Ernest Cassel. one of King Ed.

career full Of romance. the romance

fairy tale that the unknown lad of

counsellor of the king Of England and
the German emperor.
1t Is rumored that he is one of the
six men who move in the mysterious
background of the government of Eng
land, says the Gentlewoman. He has
been the builder Of his own fortune.
Money has grown under his hands,
ana banks and railways have made
mis- vast riches.

In his career was a Boer war Incl.

THAT study of evil-in novels O,

Hala mother told her little boy one day
OF the children OF Israel and their wor.
ship OF the golden calf, and the next
day she found the urchin In the stable
praying to his pony.
"A little girl was hidden to return
thanks In her prayers for the healthy
birth OF baby brother. She did so.
concluding the prayer reproa chfully
with: But. Lord. we needed a motor
car far more
"A boy of seven showed a spirit we
might all emulate when. in the midst
