The city of Highmore has enacted
a license ordinance designed to catch
the transient element, and that ele,
ment which t%ransacts business
through an agent and yet maintain
no establishment OF its own upon
which taxes are paid. Such an or
dinance, If it will stand the test Of the
courts, would compel produce com
panies buying cream through agents
to pay a license fee. 1t is not a bad
scheme, for it cannot be denied that
these produce companies already en-
Joy a monopoly in many sections and
seek to extend the monopoly to other
sections by driving out the local
creameries. When this is accom-
plished the farmer will either make
and market his W butter, or take
what the produce companies are
pleased to offer for the cream
A young man of a n~eighboring coun-
ty concluded that the home merchants
did not advertise a very good line OF
clothing and so he sen to a mail
order house for a suit OF clothes.
When they arrived, in the pocket OF
the pants was found the following
note: SHOULD this fall into the hands
OF a good looking young man who
desires to correspond with a lady OF
sweet disposition, kindly address, etc"
Then the young man promptly sent a
letter to the address and a few days
later received this reply: "Sir: My
wife has received a letter from you
addressed in her maiden name. Tween
ty years ago. when she worked in a
factory she might have written the
note. She is now mother Of eleven
children and is my lawful wife. II
you do not quit writing to her | will
make your face look like thirty cents
worth Of hamburger sausage"

One hundred per cen increase In
fire insurance for six years in this
state is the record as shown by In

In which he shows that the risks

$50, 000, 900, which had increased in
1911 to $11S. 0 5000, or more than 100

companies have paid losses to the
amount of $3,450, 900, and ~policyhold-

Of $1,000, 610. He estimates that at

Two weeks ago we mentioned the fact
that several of the children in our
graded schools had been honored with
prizes and honorable mention for work
done in drawing. Each year these prizes
are offered to pupils in United States
and Canada by Henry Turner Bailey,
editor of School Arts Guild, a magazine
for teachers in drawing. The June num-
Der of this magazine contained a list of
pupils to whom this years prizes were
awarded, among whom are names of
IL Hinsdale children. This fact reflects
much credit not only upon the children
who obtained the prizes but upon the eff
ficient and painstaking work of Miss
Abbie Chellis, our drawing teacher Fol-
lowing is the list of Hinsdale pupils who
obtained the prizes: Miss Ruth Langille
was one of four pupils scattered over
the country to obtain a second prize,
high school box of water colors and a
badge of the School Arts Guild. Ten pu-
pills received the fourth prize, a badge
of the School Arts Guild, four of whom
