Have Fast Bout

While steer belonging to the
Gray Meat Market was being weighed
Monday evening he spied O. P. Ene--
son standing close by and in steer
language challenged him to combat,
catch-as-catch-can, Kinsbury rules,
to be ignored. Without waiting for a
formal exceptance of the challange the
steer advanced and took the first fall,
which resulted in o. P. receiving Sc.

permanently injure him. In the fu.
ture when a steer wants boxing
match, o. P. will give him the whole
field to himself, as he considers 1t
rather dangerous and painful sport.

The Dairy school promises to be =
, novel and interesting feature.
The Dairy School" that will be con
Quoted under the supervision of the
State Dairy department will be novea
and very attractive feature.
Each step in the process of manu-
featuring dairy butter. from milkink
to marketing. will be demonstrated
and discussed by persons who have
made success in handling dairy pro-
ducts.
The use of bovine milk and its pro-
ducts, as an article Of human food.
is as ancient as history. but much of
the real knowledge of this wonder
fully complex fluid has remained =
deep mystery until very recent years,
Practical demonstrations accompan-
led with explanations of the cause and
effect of the various interesting pro-
cesses in the producing, handling and
manufacturing Of high grade finished
product Of the dairy will interest
those who have made butter for years
and also the younger generation as
weel as supply great fund of practi-
cal information.
Beginning with the COW there will
be pointed out the features of the ami
NAL that signify capacity for milk pro"
duction, the methods that should be
followed inorder to produce sanitary
milk, separating the cream from the
milk, ripening the cream, churning.
washing, sailing, working butter and
preparing it for the market.
Each step will be carefully explained
and the care Of the instruments used
fully demonstrated.
The Babcock test will be operated,
and tests made of milk, cream, skim
milk and butter milk to illustrate how
an accurate check may be kept ON
cows, separator and churn.
The acidity test of milk and cream,
water and salt test Of butter, also but
ter judging as in butter contests will
be exemplided.

ing.
Wednesday-Washing, sailing, work
ing and packing butter.

Young CHARGES
Bad Practice
CONTENDS THAT THE REPORTS
AGAINST PosTMAsTERs ARE
PROMPTED ~ BURLEsoN.

Washington, July 2-Representativ
Young Of North Dakota declared that
to enrich their campaign fund, 'he
democrats are violating the principles
of the civil service law and removing
republican postmasters to replace
them with DEMOCRATS.
He believes it Is being done in large
Offices as we'll as smaller ones, and
that order No. III, recently issued by
Postmaster General Burleson, was
framed for this purpose.
Postmaster General Burleson has
issued order No. III under which post
Office inspectors have gone about the
country and by means Of trivial and
technical faults in postofice have
made reports to the department that
have resulted in the removal of repub-
lican incumbents," said Mr.. Young to-
day.
II have not seen this order, but I
have been given the substance of it,
and know that it gives the inspectors
the greatest latitude in making their
inspections, and they have filed re.
ports of technical violations Of the
regulations on which recommends
tions for the removal Of republican
postmasters were based.
"The most glaring instance Of the
violation of the spirit of the civil serv'
ice principles announced by President
Wilson has been at Valley City.
Postmaster w. H. Pray is serving
under commission that does not ex.
pire until 1915, and yet am informed
that his removal has been recommend
ed by an inspector. There was not
single objection to Mr.. Pray's contin.
uing in Office for his full four-year
term from a democrat in Valley City
and the democrats there had taken 1t
for granted that the Office would not
be at their disposal for two years. Yet
the chairman of the county committee
was asked the other day to submit
recommendation for postmaster.
There hasn't bee a charge Of any ,
consequence against Mr.. Pray. The
inspectors report deals only with triv.
ial violations Of regulations, due large. |
ly. believe, to the inadequate force !!
which was busy with the more import.
ant duty of handling the mail and get
ting it to the people.
why are the democrats doing this?
The only reason can think Of is that
they want campaign contributions in
the next congressional campaign in
1914 and in the national campaign of
1916.
If the republicans were permitted
to serve out their four-year terms in
some of the larger cities, the demo !
Gratis would not make the contribu-
tions and the campaign funds would
be shy.
1T looks to me as IL the democrats
were determined to get control OF
some Of the larger Offices just for this
purpose. Technical violations Of the
regulations can be found in almost
every Office in the country and If or
der No. III is obeyed to the fullest ex-
tent, the Offices in the country will
soon be in charge of the democrats"

There is nothing daintier than a
soft lingerie hat with either one or
two ribbon strings with which to tie
it on.
Ribbon strings are lovely for the

tied with its big pink bow makes the

and grandmother's dear countenance
has an air of contented comfort when
it looks out over big bow that
