ShOrey People Do Not Agree on
Site of New School.
They Are Divided by Personal
Views and a Railroad.

The people of Shorey are preparing
to go to war. They do not intend
to take any part in the Balkan affair
but will war among themselves over
the location of the new school house
which will be built to take the place
of the old building that was burned
last week.
People who live east of the Rock
Island track in Shorey want the new
building located in their part of the
suburb while those living west of the
railroad want the new building located
on the present site.
The old building was located in the
center of the district. 1t is contend
ed by people of the west side that the
building should remain there for the
ton of all The east siders
claim that the building should be To-
Gated in their community for the rea-
son that three-fourths of the children
of the district live on that side of the
track.
To locate the new building east OF
the tracks VIII necessitate the pur-
chase of a new site and several Whc
live in f : community want to sell
a mart of the real estate for this pur-
nose. There is also a difference OF
oninion - to where the new building
should be located if an east side site
is chosen.
The people of the west side declare
that they will not permit the pur-
chase of a new location if they can
prevent it,
The people on the east side contend
that the old location is unsuitable for
the reason that it is near the tracks of
the Rock Island system and that the
students are disturbed by the passing
trains and switching crews.
oil location might be sold and
the funds added to the proposed bona
issue. This would be sufficient to en-
able the members of the school board
to purchase a new location. providing
the people in the district voted to move
the location of the building, and would
allow a sufficient amount for the cree
tion of the echool building.
The trouble has started and will
reach the hostile stage as soon as the
petition is circulated. A number OF
neopIe on the west side will refuse to
sign the petition if an effort is made
to change the location, and a number
on the east side will not sign the pc
ti+ion unless it is decided to locate the
building east of the tracks.

THE MANURE SPREADER.

The season for the most frequent
use of the manure spreader Is APP
preaching. Many farmers are de-
batting the advisability OF purchas-
ing. Many doubt its economy on
farms of less than 200 acres. All
are aware of the great advantage in
extra evenness of scattering manure
with the spreader. Most farmers
realize that given amount of
manure will cover a larger acreage
when spread in this manner. The
advantage is especially great on
meadows where coarse punches OF
straw are a nuisance in the hay
crop.
Farm management Investigations
on a number of farms in Minnesota
indicate that the spreader will
make a financial profit on any farm
which distributes $50 tons or more
per year. This takes no account OF
the added ease of labor to the farm
err but considers only the financial
saving and the fact that man and
horse labor are enough more effect
lively employed to more than pay
interest, repair and depreciation
charges on the spreader. This a.
mount of manure should be handled
on farms of 100 acres or over, or
on any farm which has twenty-five
cows. sixteen head Of young stock
and eight horses or equivalent stock

No Reason Why Il Should Not Beat
Creamery Product In Price.
Butter made from a single herd OF

The first essential in making good
butter is good cream. To get this sim

regarding clean cows and barn. clean
attendants and clean utensils and then
cooling the cream at once after sep
arating, either by running It over a
cooler or by setting It In running cold
water and stirring. Cream should not
be stored with any substance having
an aroma. Sweet cream churns hard
and gives a butter having fat taste.

The best cream for churning is that
