MILK IN HOT WEATHER.

There is always trouble with milk
and cream in hot weather They will
spoil if you give them half chance.
1t is possible to keep them good,
however, and on dairy farm abso-
lutely necessary.
The bacteriologist says that in
warm milk or cream the bacteria null
tiply every twenty or thirty minutes,
SO that before long our milk is q
regular menagerie. 1t seems that the
system is like that Of the old horse
shoer who charged cent for the first
nail and doubled the price each nail.
The results soon amount to enormous
figures.
In actual practice, we are too busy
to stop and count the bacteria. And
if we tried, it would be pretty hard
fed a few hundred times. But we
know that the milk sours very quickly
if it stands a while warm. We are
able to make it stay sweet long
time--a couple of days if we wanted
it to-by cooling it Immediately after
it is MIXED.
Where there is much milk to han
die, the best way is to use one Of tbs
regular coolers or 'aerators.' They
are not expensive, and they help won
derfrlly in keeping the milk in goot
condition. If there is only littl,
milk, it may be cooled pretty rapid.

People are deceived sometimes il
the length of time it takes to cool

hours. And that gives those germs
big start. Sudden and rapid coolin
is the big secret in keeping milk ao

H()N0RS
Local Educator Receive,
Democratic Nomination
for State Superintend-
ent of Public
Instruction

In special to The Herald we re-
ceiye the interesting news that Mrs.
Roseph Pulford Of Durango, receives
the nomination for state superintend-
ent of public instruction on the Demo-
cratic ticket, with 342 votes, 100 ahead
of her nearest competitor, Marie v.
Donahue.
All La Plata county and the San
Juan basin people will be interested
in the above news.
Mrs. Pulford has been prominent in
educational and social circles of the
city for the past eighteen years. She
was connected with the high school
for a period of ten years, first as
teacher of English and later as prin-
cipal. Both positions she filled most
creditably.
Eight years ago she was elected
county superintendent and at each sue
cessive election since mas polled bal
lot several hundred ahead of her party
-licket.
Mrs. Pilfordi l,ad held tho offeeee
county superintendent but u short tis1e
when she became an important factor
in state educational circles. Among
other positions of Importance in edu-
cational organizations she is chairman
VI tne DOdiu VI uiIetlOfS VI lHe ,oIdte
Teachers association. The large num-
Der of votes she received at the state
assembly speaks convincingly of the
high standing she is given by the
Democrats of this great common
wealth.
Mrs. Helen Marsh Wixon, the pres
ent state superintendent, who has been
nominated for reelection on the Re
publican ticket, is former Durango
resident. She moved to this city in
the waning seventies, when the ma
jor portion of our residents were none
too familiar with the ten command
ments and the town was a favorite
setting for gun plays. She, as well
as all members of her family, were
prominent among the people who rep
resented the better element that as
sistd in making the city the desira-
Bile town it now is.
In the early nineties Mrs. Wixon
moved TO the capital city where she
was soon recognized as one of the
leading newspaper women of the cap
ital city. Her record as state su-
perintendent is one of which any per.
son might well be proud.
Now that the race is practically
certain to be between two Durango
women it will be interesting to note
who has the stronger hold upon our
people. Be the result what it may
the opposing candidates are ctrain tc
remain friends as both women are far
too sensible to allow political differ
ences to interfere in personal matters

REPTILES FIGHT
ella Monster Stays Rattle Snake
in a Dramatic Battle

Dalhart. Tex, Dec. 2-The ''rattle-
snake season. this year in the south
west was unusually destructive Of life,
and was marked by some stan Ting
and dramatic incidents. 1t is es-
tiGated that some fifty deaths from
snake bites have occurred this season
in the plains country and the noun
tain regions of New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas. e. b. Van Veen of the
Pinsl mountain district, tells of a fight
between a ~rattlesnake and a gila mon
ster. Bob Henry, ON returning from
bis camp by the Pinal mountain road,
was attracted by the sound of a
rattlesnake. Turning, he saw a RATHER
about sever feet long. and, three feet
away, a gila monster sitting Oh an
ant Hill. The snake stood up from the
ground higher than a mans knee in
the shape of an elongated 8. The re-
mainder of his body was upon the
ground behind him in a straight line.
In addition to rafting, a Kissing sound
Issued from his mouth. The gila was
standing up as high from the ground
as his short legs would permit. His
tensed attitude indicated that trouble
was ahead. Suddenly the snake sprang
at the big lizard, but it evaded the
stroke by flattening himself ON the
ground. The snake drew itself up for
another stroke and missed again. The
third time the snake drew back and
struck. but the lizard was two inches
to the right. The snake started to
draw back for another attempt, when
the gila monster made "A lightning-l like
plunge, and the nsx. ;Isssn; the back
of the rattler's neck was in the bull
dog jaws of the lizard, which was
shaking it like a rat. Several times
the lizard was thrown into the air,
and rs often it was dragged ON the
dusty road, with it's feet vainly at
tempting to find a hold. But the
jaws held tight, and in two OF three
minutes the snake lay dead on the
ground.
