Paving Talk.

Some are now talking of paving
Wilson avenue and Grove street.
thus completing fine drive. That
would be nice for autoists, but it
would be rather hard on property
owners on Grove street and also on
the general taxpayer. II there is a
residence street in town that should
be paved 1t Is Wilson avenue. 1t is
the wealthiest thoroughfare in the
city and lots are more valuable
there than In any other residence
section OF town. Really, the avenue
should have been paved first among
the residence streets. When paving
begins the long way of residence lots
the general taxpayer will have a
large share Of 1t to pay. District
courts have held that only one-half
can be charged to the property own
er Of corner lots when the other
street has been paved, and this 10

WHAT DOMESTIC
science means !
As it Will be Given at the Webster
City Short Couse Beginning
Jan. oath.

ut does not mean simply few
ways of making new pies and cakes.
It means something much broader
and more useful than that. Domestic
science means a study OF those sub
jects which will help to give us bet
ter milk and more Of 1t, better butter
that brings better price, more fresh
air in the homes. school and church,
cleaner back yards and alleys, a
greater number of clean markets,
clean hotels, restaurants and baker
les, more bubble fountains and fewer
public drinking cups, clean railway
trains and street cars that are well
aired at frequent intervals, a great
er number Of attractive farm homes
and town homes, more money spent
on good standard books, well chosen
pictures, good heating. plumbing
and lighting plants in country
homes and town homes, and more
country homes with running water
and convenient bath rooms.
Domestic science Is a world wide
movement which has. for Its aim the
betterment of all home and commun-
ity conditions. 1t aims to aid In
making more OF these homes which
shall give US manly. wholesome,
courteous boys, homes which shall
give us girls who are prepared by
good training. good health and fine
character to make splendid homes
for the coming generation"
Is this the sort of thing that pro-
gressive Webster City is interested
in? If so. let all the ladies of the
city remember to arrange their work
SO that they can attend the short
course in the basement of the Meth
odist church, course which will be
given the week beginning January

WANTS COUNTY TO
Have THE AUTO TAX
Secretary Of State Hayward Makes
That Recommendation in
His Report.

Secretary OF State Hayward thinks
the counties should have the auto
mobile tax. He says there are ap-
proximately $4,000 autos in the
state and that the tax will average
$40. making a total tax Of $500, 900.
OF this the state gets Is per cent. or
$4,000. 1t costs the state from
$4,000 to $4,000 to collect the
money and perform the other duties
made necessary Il the automobile
department Of the secretary's ONCE.
Hamilton county is an average Iowa
county, hence the tax here amounts
to approximately $1,000. 1t is Mr..
Hayward's idea that this money
should be expended on the roads Of
the county.

1912 A BUSY YEAR
FOR COUNC|LMEN
Held sixty-six Meetings During
Twelve Months$5O Salary
for Year.

The year 1912 proved to be one
OF the busiest In the history of the
Webster City council. During the
past twelve months they have held
forty adjourned sessions, and these
added to the twenty-six regular SEES
sions scheduled, makes total of
sixty-six meetings during the year.
Many OF these extra sessions were
necessary in connection with the
big improvements made during that
time and others were called to add
the finishing touches to some of the
improvements made the previous
year. For any single day, April LIST,
1912, holds the record. On that day
the council met in four different ses-
sions-first as a board of health,
next as board Of review, then in
adjourned session Of the board of re-
view, and lastly at regular meet
ing OF the council. On April End
two meetings were held. During the
week beginning April LIST seven ses-
sions OF the city fathers took place.
which makes that record week
for Official gatherings.
Although the councilmen have
done an unusual amount of extra
work, their pay has averaged small
er for the year than any previous
council for several years. According
to the city ordinance governing the
pay Of councilmen. the rate per ses-
sion is 81 until fifty meetings are
held. After that number has been
reached the ordinance provides that
they shall serve free Of charge. Dur
Ing the year 1919 the council have
put in sixteen sessions without pay,
making their average pay per meet
ing fraction over 70 cents for each
session held.

GOOD BUTTER MADE
WITHOUT CHURN|NC
Hdora Physician Tells Of New Pro
cess Which He Recently
Discovered.

EIdora, Jan. Some three weeks
ago The Register and Leader printed
a story concerning q new and easy
process for making butter. Since the
printing OF the story, DR.. Young OF
Eldora has been flooded with letters
asking for further information, from
those who wish to try the process,
but for whom the story was not SUI
flciently explicit.
Since the printing of the story
several farmers wives in this local
ity have questioned DR.. Young in re-
gard to the process and are now
making butter without churning. 1t
has been found that there is more
butter produced by the new and easy
method than there was by the old
method OF churning and that the
butter Is sweeter and keeps sweet
longer than by the old process, as
absolutely all Of the milk and water
is removed. The fact that the but
ter is made from sweet cream also
lends the butter a richer flavor than
that produced by churning from
cream which has been allowed to
sour from two to four days.
''In making butter by this pro-
cess" according to DR.. Young. take
an ordinary pan or earthen crock.
place in this receptacle any absorb
ing fabric such as Turkish toweling
folded to several thicknesses and on
this absorbant lay smoothly piece
OF filter paper large enough to hold
the quantity Of cream you wish to
turn into butter. A good quality OF
white plotting paper will do for the
filter. On this filter pour your
cream, not more than quart for
an ordinary sized pan. The cream
must be smooth and have stood few
hours. After the cream has been
poured onto the filter, place the pan
in a cool place for few hours and
the result is the finest butter you ey-
er tasted"
The scientific explanation Is that
the globules OF butter fat will not
pass through the filter, while all 9TH
err parts OF the cream will. The but
ter, remains on top Of the filter In
minute granules like snowflakes. and
may be removed by tipping up one
end Of the filter, the butter falling
of without scraping. Use new FL
ter with every trial.
DR.. Young has sample Of butter
thus made in his oflice, which has
been kept in cool place for several
weeks. but 10 rs sweet as when first
made.
