THE CREAMERY AS A FACTORY
Butter Making Industry is Second i'm
Importance to Meat Packing.

Des Moines, Mar. 31.-Iowa COM
munities with well established cream
cries in operation realize that the
creamery is an excellent manufactur-
ing establishment. Many Iowa towns
with around 900 inhabitants have
creameries with annual outputs of
from ST. 900 to 100000 which show
up in heavy bank deposits, cash bust
ness at the stores, sustained fertility
of the farm lands and the numerous
advantages of a thrifty community.
Some 112,2O0 patrons of 504
Iowa creameries reported to the
Iowa state dairy department in 1912
that they had received approximately
$50, 100000 for their butter fat. This
would make the annual income of
each patron from his cream alone
about S265. AS a matter of fact many
of the farmers selling cream to the
creamery will make a good deal more
than that, 800 per month and better
not being at all unusual. With the
great majority of them this dairying
is only a side line. They keep a small
herd of cows, averaging, according to
this report, about seven COWS to the
patron. General farming is followed
by most of these farmers.
The total value of cream checks
represent only part of the gross in
come from the COW, inasmuch as the
skim milk, fed to the hogs, is an i'm
portant item. The value of the man
ure in sustaining the fertility of the
farm is another important considera-
ton. But the cream checks show the
ready money coming in which is such
an important factor in the thrift of
the community.
The report of the cooperative
creamery at St. Ansgar, Mitchell
county, for the year ending Jan. /,
1913, shows that this creamery paid
out over $4,000 last year. st. Ans
gar, at the time of the last census,
had a population of 747 people. An
SS2, 200 factory in community of
this size is an important industry and
this report is considered by our state
dairy department as fairly typical of
successful cooperative creameries in
Iowa. There are many such cream!
cries in the state.

ICLUB WOMEN.
teioit, Over Good Work Accomplish
ed by Health Committee to Protect
Against Results of 'Black
Plague"

Cedar Falls, Ia, March 31.-There
is general rejoicing among the club
women Of Iowa who have learned of
the success of the public health COM
mittee in its efforts to pass a law that
should protect against the harmful
results of what is known as the
black plague" by a bill which has
been champoned by Dr. Margaret v.
Clark, of the health committee of the
general federation of women's clubs
and also of the state committee. She
has been ably assisted in her efforts
by her husband, DR.. G. Hardy Clark,
both of Waterloo, and they have re-
ceiyed man congratulatOry words by
letter and wire since the Iowa senate
passed the bill. Both DR.. Margaret
Hardy and her husband have worked
faithfully and increasingly for the
measure and both have personally adj
dressed both the senate and the house
and to know that it was the first of
its kind to be passed by any legislat-
ure in the United States adds inter-
est and emphasis TO the measure. For
nine years Dr. Clark has been work
ing on the matter and this action will
not only give protection to the spread
of this venereal and contagious dis
ease, but will be of great help to
physicians in enforcing the law In
the approaching biennial of the state
federation in Cedar Rapids DR.. Marg-
aret V. Clark will be called upon to
speak of the measure and of her part
in making it law of Iowa that the
public shall be protected from the
spread of the ''black plague"

Found Unknown Well.

On Wednesday of last week as Guy
Crippen was driving into the yard al
his brother AIS in Fremont township
and having to drive around a wagon
left in the usual driveway, the ground
suddenly gave way and one of his hor-
ses sank to the earth. Upon investi-
cation it was found that the hind
quarters of the animal had fallen in
to an unused we'll that had been COW
cred over, perhaps for years. The
boys made an investigation and found
dug we'll forty feet deep and four
feet in diameter with ten feet of wat
er in the bottom. Evidently some
early owner of the farm had discon-
tinued the use of the well and had
covered it with boards and earth
about eighteen inches in thickness.
Mr.. Crippen has been we'll acquainted
with the place for about twenty-five
years and does not remember when
we'll was in use at this particular
spot. He feels thankful that no great
er damage was done by it's discovery
as he has driven over the spot with
his family many times. A single ami
NAL or person could easily have
dropped to the bottom.-Clarksvill

His Self-ContrOI.


Mr.. Brown was excitable by nature
but he often prided himself audibly
upon his self-control One night while
the family were gathered at the tea
table the chimney began to roar the
furnace draft had been opened and
forgotten. Straightway a panic en-
sued.
Don't lose your heads, keep cool!'
cried Mr.. Brown. Its nothing SER
ious.'
He dashed upstairs, discovered the
metal cap over the only unused stove
pipe hole was already red-hot, and
dashed down again faster than he
went up.
'K-keep COOL" he gasped, as he
passed through the room where the
family had gathered in nervous APP
prehension. iii be back again in a
minute"
He was back in less than that time
having observed that the flames were
spouting several feet high from the
chimney, and that shower of sparks
was falling upon the roof.
"Wh-where's the step-ladder?" he
painted.
He was gone before any one could
answer the question, and presently
was heard believing from the roof OF
the woodlshed. He presented an her,
ole figure in the glare of the blaz-
ing chimney.
I've got one end of the hose!' he
called. Some one attach the Other
end and turn on the water-quickn
Two long minutes passed.
"Why doesn't some one do as | or.
dered?" he Numbered. do you want
the place to burn up?''
1--WE can't, Henry" called Mrs
Brown, tremblingly. You haven't go
the hose-youve got the COW rope
1t was hanging next to the hose in tn,
shed. And anyway, the roof is cover
ed with ice, and don't think there's
any great danger outside. You, haC
better go and watch the chimney from
the inside"
A half hour later the family wer,
again at the tea-table.
IF this had happened in some hou
ses," remarked Mr.. Brown, the fam
lily would have lost their heads com
pletely and sent in an alarm. Self
control is an excellent thing-anC
far from common
Indeed it isl" agreed Mrs. Brown
emphatically.-The Youths Compan

usually have two practice spins each

enough. and that by practicing at the

ST. LOUIS BROWNS
StovaIps Men Have Many Griev-
ances Against the Work of
0'uoughlin.
By SENATOR"

Like the Griffmen, the st. Louis
Brownies are disgusted at the poor
guesswork of Rags O'Loughlin. They
endured him for almost a month in the
Mound City this spring, and have rea-
sons for their antipathy. However,
George Stovall and his noble young ath-
letes. while having plenty of grievances
against the 'strike-tuh' man, decline to
be quoted for publication, knowing that
Rags" would not hesitate to get the
man coming out with his real thoughts
So. even when grossly mistreated yes
terday, the Brownies took their medi-
cine, realizing that the once greatest
umpire in the world has gone back"
Rags" worked behind the plate yes
terday, and was as bad as ever. The
one-sided score took away some Of the
effect of his poor guessing. Fans behind
the plate laughed in the second inning
when Attorney" McAllester had a
strike called on him when the bali sailed
past his head.
In the second Francois Laporte had a
strike called on him when the ball vas
outside py a foot. The same thing hap
pened to John Henry, but the big back
stop suppressed his grumbling. In the
third the same kind OF a ball was
called a strike on Jack Johnston.
Rags" Is absolutely impartial in his
guessing, both teams suffering.
In the fourth inning the greatest UNI
pire in the world with his customary
blindness. failed to see that Roy Mitch
ell clearly baked toward first base.
There was a half-hearted protest which
speedily died away when the Grifmen
remembered that Rags stands for no
differences of opinion. and. to make
himself look good, does not hesitate to
banish the daring athlete who has his
heart in the game.
Rags" O'Loughlin, once the greatest
umpire In the world" Is now but a
shadow, having naught but his strike
tub left. That is hackneyed, and no
longer brings the laugh it did once.
