Proposed Cooperative Creamery.

Every farmer interested in the re-
organization of the Zimmerman CO.
operative creamery should be in at
tendance at the NJ. W. A. hall, Zim-
norman. next Thursday, February
20 A cooperative creamery, rightly
managed, would prove good thing
for the farmers living in the terri
tory adjacent to Zimmerman, and
the number of COWS in that territory
is ample, if farmers stand together,
to make such an establishment a
success.
The dairy business, in it's various
ramitcations, will be fully e]ucidated
at the meeting next Thursday by an
expert from the state dairy depart
ment, and o. M. Warner of the
Princeton Cooperative creamery has
consented to assist the farmers in
recognizing.
There is not cooperative cream
cry in Mile Laos county that is not
paying it's stockholders good divi-
dend and it's patrons the highest
price possible for cream, and there is
no apparent reason why a creamery
at Zimmerman, Sherburne county,
could not do likewise. Rightly man
aged, as we said above, a farmers
cooperative creamery cannot fail to
prove successful financial venture.

Mile Laos Dam Opposed.

An unfavorable report on the pro-
posed improvement of Mile Laos and
Onamia lake by the construction of
a dam across Rum river was on Sat-
urday submitted to the speaker of
the national house of representatives
by General Bixby, chief engineer of
the army. Two of the principal OBJ
jections urged to the construction of
such dam were that the lake was
not an attractive reservoir site, and
would be subject to great loss of
water through evaporation, and that
the proposed improvement would be
of no benefit to navigation on the
Mississippi.

No Truth in the Story.

Mr.. Ewing informs us that there
is no truth whatsoever in the sensa-
tional story published in the Mime
apolis papers anent the punishment
alleged to have been inflicted on
pupil in the Onamia public schools
that the story was manufactured out
of"whole cloth. The dailies should
endeavor to secure reliable cor
respondents in the country towns.
Such stuff as that sent in from
Onamia is highly misleading.

A New Zealand dispatch to the
London papers says that Captain
Robert f. Scott, the antarctic ex-
plorer, with four members of his
expedition, persisted in biz
card while on their return from the

on January IS, 1912, about a month

worry incident to our mad scramble to
survive. the doctors we look to in that
case are the economists and the so

looks almost simple when compared
with the problem of the economists.

Tippina the Cock.

In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more In tips to the servants than

dining with the Duke of Ormond upon
the ground that he could not afford it.
IF you will give me the guinea have
to pay your cook, l will come al often
as you choose to ask me"-which was
accordingly done. The duke, however.
had not the pluck to stop the tipping
practice. Lord Taafe. a general Officer
in the Austrian service. did what he
could. He always attended his guests
to the door. When they put their
hands into their pockets he said: mo.
If you do give it. give it to me. for

To Sir Timothy Waldo must be given
the credit Of putting an end to the
monstrous practice. After dinner with
