five years.

legislation brought a tart reply from
Senator William Alden Smith of Michi-
gan.
What Bill Requires.
The bill requires beneficiaries to
have served 80 days and provides pen
sions ranging from $l3 to $50 month,
instead OF 60-day minimum and SIS
TO $50 pension. as in the house meas
ure. The bill now goes to conference
with the house. The shadow of a pos
sible presidential veto hangs over the
measure.
The senate added provisions that
would grant $50 a month to former SOL
diers disabled by service, wounds or
disease, the latter being estimated to
add s2.5OO,OOO to the annual outlay I'M

Dairy Industry Is
Rapidly Advancing

Grand Forks, Sept. 13.-Reports
from every section Of the state show
increased interest in dairying. There
is an interesting suggestion to North
Dakota farmers in the fact that Min
nesota has taken over a small cream
cry at Albert Lea, and is running it
as a demonstration business for the
benefit of the farmers of that state.
In a statement received by Grand
Forks dairymen, the results of the
first years business show that it cost
2.66 cents to manufacture one pound
of butter. OF this amount 1888 cents
is charged to power, labor, ice, etc.,
.4S for maintenance of the plant and
81 for interest on investment. This
amount added to the cost of the raw
material, which is variable gives the
reasonable price which should be
charged for butter.
