O. H. Tarbell: 81 was coming from
the postoffice the other day and a
man stepped up behind me and said:
Say! that hog did not weigh quite
three hundred pounds. said, What
hog?' Why, said the man, that hog
that sold you at your meat market
you never sold me hog assur-
ed the man. He looked little clos
er and exclaimed, Amt you O. N
|Whistlerg. Now the question has re.
solved itself to this proposition: Do
i look like orin whistler or does he
look like me? Somebody has got to
pay for al this
81 joc Fox n nat the city OF Wa
tertown needs is a milk ordinance
which will protect the people from
buying adulterated milk. It is not
necessary for the city to charge a IL
license so that 1t will prohibit the small
dealer from selling milk, but an or
dinance establishing an Official milk
tester and a certain standard which
milk must come up to before it can
be sold in this city. No person has
anything to fear from this law il he is
selling pure milk. It is only the per-
son who is trying to make one quart
of milk take the place of two by
blending it with water. No, am not
in favir of licensing milk sellers
make it open for everybody without
cost but set a, certain standard test
that the milk must stand and then If
| a person is caught selling watered
lJmilk fine them and that will soon put
a stop to the practice of adulterating
milk"
John Deniger: Yes, we are going
to establish dairy produce company
in this city. We have installed the
latest and most modern machinery
for sterilizing milk and will deliver
pure milk to every part of the city.
Our headquarters will be at the ice
cream factory and later we may have
a store room up town.
George Briggs: "One day this fall
] made a trip to our farm near Gary
and ! took along a quart of good Hq-
uor. There is an old Irfshman and his
wife and two sons renting the land
and thought they would appreciate
a drop of the creature" So step
ped into the Grand saloon and gave
Bill, the harkeep, $3.50 for bottle of
old rye. Bill said the whiskey was
imported and was twenty years old
and he charged me $3.50 for it. l
placed lit in my satchel and went to
the farm. When / arrivess@ there II
was little chilly and asked the old
man Il they ever partook Of the ex-
hilerating frSd. Hae said: .'Sure we
all of ms enjoy wee bit once in q
while" I handed the bottle to the
old lady, reuarking that / did not
care for any of 1T myself. The old
lady went into the kitchen and pro-
duced four opEnmun water glasses and
proceeded to puur the $3.50 per quart
liquor into tine four glasses. She fill
ed them up and pasHed them around
to the family. was somewhat sur
prised and I casually made the re-
mark that 1T was very strong liquor
and that 1t cost $3.50 for the quart
and was 20 years old. The old lady
supped the whiskey as though it was
beer and said We'll, pom my soul, it
is raley small fir its age, Master
Briggs"
al Wilson. 7 believe there are
more prairie chickens left over this
season than any year In the past ten
years. This was caused by the cold
and wet weather at the first of the
season. The chickens were pretty
wild all through the open season this
year and there were very few hunters
who fractured the limit allowed by
law. Well, it is a good thing that
there are plenty left over as there
viii be a good crop OF birds next
year
