careful selection of the newest and
most graceful shapes for early spring

Furnished by Manager Hunt and his
accomplished chef, President Huntoon
called his fellow knights of the money
bags to order and fully explained the
object of the gathering, ~prefacing his
remarks with Well placed words or
welcome on behalf of his associates
of the banks of Moorhead. He told
Of h plans and what could be ac-
complished through the medium of a
Better Farming association and cited
the amount of good work which had
been done where associations were in
good running order. Self preservation
demanded hat there be an organiza-
ton in Clay county. He told OF

practical encouragement along the
lines of better farming. car
Mr.. Huntoon said only one set
speech had been arranged for and it
would come from the lips of n whom
he knew would command the closest
attention, and he had the greatest
pleasure in calling for S. G. Com
stock.
Mr.. ComStock referred to the tend
encies of the day to depart from the
old ways, but the bankers would be
depended upon for a continuance Of
the spirit of conservativeness and a
support Of the old traditions. He was
in sympathy with the plans proposed
for the fGrtherance of better farming
and along that line he offered several
valuable suggestions and cited some of
the needs for the advancing Of the
farming interests in Clay county and
he wished the undertaking God speed
and as far as possible he would give
it all the support he was able.
Following a number of informal eX-
pressions OF opinion as TO methods to
be pursued it was decided that the
banks Of the county pledge the sum
Of 1000 towards the maintenance OF
an expert demonstrator the reminder
to come from grain dealers and the
United States government which has
such work under it's wing. -
Also, 1t was decided that a public
meeting Of farmers and others inter-

the arrangements for the meeting be
left in the hands Of the following
committee. Messrs. Huntoon, Roberts,

tomers-Doctors Do the Rest.
New York World: One thousand
gasoline pies and $500 similarly dosed
loaves of bread were sent to be de-
.livered to homes in Atlantic City from
the bakery of William G~rossmuller.
Discovering shortly afterward what
had happened, G~rossmuller immedi-
ately set out in a motor car with two
physicians, one DR.. EWard Guyon,
health officer of the city, and the
other, DIR. Joseph Poland, on the trail
of his delivery wagons. When it was
found that they had already delivered
the adulterated food and families had
partaken of it the doctors got busy
with antidotes.
Grossmuller's aides are known to
have treated thirty families. The TAX
ing of gasoline in the system would
of course bring keen physical distress.
but none of the illness proved serious
and DR.. Guyon said hat all who had
eaten of the pies and bread were fully
recovered.
Il The baker explained to DR.. Guyon
that. like many others in his trade,
he uses ~cottonseed oil instead of put
ter or lard in making his wares. Part
of a new. barrel of this oil had been
used for supply of pies and cakes. 1t
was discovered after the delivery
wagons had departed that the barrel
had been used previously as a con-
of gasoline.
