Forty Dollars and IL Left Wait

Fresh from his broom corn farm and
broom factory near Schel City, in Yer
ION county Missouri, E w. Michel, met
IN affable young man at the Union depot
his morning, who borrowed $40 after an
acquaintance of ten minutes.
In narrating his experience to John Saw
lge, chief of detectives, the Missourian
Iaid that he got off the train to have a
look around, a nice young man shook
hands with him, and asked him how all
the folks at home were.
He was right friendly on the spot"
Said Mr.. Michel, land when l told him
that 1 had an uncle in Sioux City that
there boy said he knGw him we'll. He was
such a clever fellow that never stopped to
think when he asked me for $40 with which
to pay freight on a carload of stock that
he was shipping to Sioux City. Seeing as
how he belonged to the same lodge as my
self, let him have the money until the
banks opened. He told me to wait there
Tor him, but as that was two hours ago
he does not seem to be in hurry coming
back"
Michel said he was enroute TO Yankton,
3. D., where he has half section of
land. He saved his railroad ticket and a
Waterbury watch and telegraphed home for
more money.

Unless the larger creamery companies
comply with the ordinance regulating the
number Of bacteria in milk and the tenn
perature Of milk delivered, wholesale
prosecutions are liable to result. II the
city officials cannot force the creameries
to get in line. milk consumers will start
something. Such rumors we're waited
about the city hall Friday morning.
Records in the office of the health
commissioner show that two big creamery
companies have not been complying with
the ordinances. The ordinance stipulates
that the number of bacteria shall not ex-
coed 10000 per cubic centimeter Tests
by the milk inspector show that the bac-
terra count often runs as high as $1,000
and in rare instances to 100000
The ordinance also provides that any
milk delivered at a higher temperature
than So degrees shall be confiscated. That
milk has been delivered which had a
temperature of so degrees is asserted by
city employees. who say that they can
easily prove this statement.
The creameries have been warned fire.
quently. Since then they have reduced
their bacteria count, but in many cases the
count exceeds the limit allowed by law
High bacteria count is due to careless
ness, more than anything else" said DR..
r. w Cornell, health commissioner. IF
creamery owners would exercise the proper
precaution, the ordinance could easily be
complied with. We have been after these
creameries for more than a month, and
lately the reports show that the owners are
exercising more care and diligence"
Claude f. Bessie, dairy inspector, called
attention to the high bacteria count and
high temperature of milk in his monthly
report for May. Bessie suggested that
Ueps be taken to force the creamery men
20 comply with the ordinances.

LACK OF CITIZENSHIP
KEEPS HIM FROM NAVY

Time for Your Uncle
samuel.

Not satisfied with the navy in Germany,
Jack Schmidt, recently OF Germany came
10 this country with the express purpose
OF joining the United States navy. He
landed at New York three weeks ago.
After making a trip OF some OF the larger
cities he arrived Friday morning at the
Omaha navy recruiting station and ap-
piled for enlistment.
When asked questions he replied in a
very good English tongue. During the con-
versation Schmidt remarked that he had
come TO this country but three weeks ago
just 10 join the navy. That one remark
'dueered" him as far as joining the navy
was concerned. He was not an American
citizen and was thus refused admission to
Uncle Sans bluejacket ranks.
