Mr.. Barney says more than fifteen

during the last year in localities
where there is not the business TO
support creamery, and that these
plants are now idle. He says "these
promoters appear to be more inter

plants to b. sold to local stockhol
ers at an exorbitant price than they
are in the welfare OF the dairy in

AN INTERESTING GAME
Extra, the City Beautiful, The Home
of Some Famous Checkers Play
ers. Noted Experts Here

Less than a hundred years ago,
when John Nelson was a boy and
living with his parents back in
Denmark, he became quite prof.
cieut at the checker board, and
could put up good game. John
left the scenes of his boyhood and
came to America laying aside games
that interested him there, because
he found his time here was more
profitable. But the knowledge of
the game was only dormant, and
after the Extra Checker Club had
played the Wiota Champions, Mr.
Nelson said to the Rev Smith (who
by the way is one of America's
Champione) II would like to play
you one game of what you call
checkers" The Champion pulled
his overcoat and at it they went,
which resulted in clean. game won
by Nelson. John suggested that
his boy, meaning Mr.. Gore, his un-
dertaker was nearer in the Rev's
class so they, the Preacher and the
Undertaken played three games
with the result that the undertaken
won two out of three games

HIGH LIFE
Run Away That Was Costly to All
Concerned. Alth0' the Effort
was Prompted by Kindness

1t was very kind of Supt. Hoyman
to suggest to his Principal, Miss Lang
with that they procure team and
cutter and take a sleigh ride to tho
boarding place of Miss Ora Hicks, some
eight or ten miles out, and bring her
home for Sunday visit
On making his desires known to MIR.
Watson, the flower and fruit tree man,
so we'll known for the good quality of
the stock he handles and his honorable
dealing, he suggested to the Professor
that he could have the use of his team
for the trip, and Date McClain also
said to the Professor '.You can have
my cutter" So, Friday evening after
school hours were set for the joyride.
A start was made and the boarding
place of Miss Ora was reached without
mishap. AS soon as they had warmed
the return trip was undertaken, and all
went we'll until about half way in,
when the Professor no doubt thought a
sleighride without an upset would be
tame affair and they would have moth
ing to remember the trip by, etc. So
suiting b actions to his thoughts, a
little pull on the gee line-for the snow
was drifted just ahead-caused the
runner to climb the drift. and over went
the three P's, the Professor, the Prin.
cipal and the Pedagegue.
Results commenced to be realized
from that moment for away went the
team with the cutter, and left our
friends trying to extricAte themselves
from the wraps and the snow drift. 1t
was mile and half to Mr.. Jesssn's,
the nearest house, SO gathering up
their wraps they made another start;
and when an hour or so later they ar
rived at Ar. Jessen's they found he had
caught the team after they had become
entangled in wire fence and badly cut
up Tho harness was broken and the
cutter will probably be found after the
January thaw. They remained at Mr..
and Mrs. Jessen's over night and came
into town the next day. The parties
are now writing book entitled ''The
Snowdrift Experience of three P's.
