the council of the town and arrange
for full meeting Of the representa-
tives of that body and the board OF

THE BIGGEST GIFT

Did you ever stop to think
that the small sales in depart
ment store in the fortnight be-
fore Christmas exceed those Of
any other four weeks in the
year? Have you ever stepped
aside to watch the constant
pressure upon men clerks and
girls, standing upon their feet
and driven, in foul air, all day
long and often into the night
only because you and others
like you have put off shopping
till the last minute? Have you
ever realized that such delay
has made the holiday" period
a term of slavery for many? If
not, ponder these things, and,
having pondered, make up your
Christmas list and fill it as
soon as possible. Though you
may never know where it lands,
you will be. making your big
gest Christmas gift of all.

Submits to Official Test; Produces
1913 lbs. Butter, $3.50 lbs. Milk,
1913 lbs. Butter Fat in Days
BOUGHT AT WOOD LAKE
Now Member of Famous H0lstein
Herd At North Yakima,
Wash.
BOUGHT AT WOOD LAKE

What. Minnesota Homestead can
produce even when picked up bodily
and taken to North Yakima, Wash,
has recently been proved to the salts
faction of every body. Only in this
case the Homestead is a nice little
moo-cow of the Holstein breed in
stead of a quarter section of good
rich Minnesota loan. But Homestead
has proved herself almost as valuable
as that same quarter section.
Lived at Wood Lake
Two years ago Homestead then five
years old, was purchased from w. A.
'Martin of Wood Lake by Jos. Tyson
and taken to the Tyson farm at North
Yakima where she became member
of the herd under the care of B. D.
McKelheer, and set out to show those
Washington bovines what real live
Minnesota cow can do. They were
all from Missouri" and Homestead
had her work cut out for her, but
she did it.
Beats High Average.
Out of 5,074 Holstein cows tested
officially in 1911-12 only ITO made
30 pounds, or more of butter in seven
days.
Homestead has just been subjected
to the same official test for the same
length of time and made 1913 pounds
of butter.
Out of the 5,074 cows the average
of milk for seven days was 4019
pounds of milk and the butter fat
average was 14.27 pounds per cow.
That's mighty good average but
Homestead beat it by about seventeen
laps. Her record shows 1858 pounds
of milk and 1913 pounds butter fat. ,
This test was made the first week
in November and there's no reason to
believe that Homestead isn't going
right on chewing her cud and pro-
ducing record-breaking pounds.
Has Deadly Rival
Some cow, that Homestead and its
all because of her good old Mime
sofa blood. But there's a little in
significant western rival in the same
herd that is likely to make Home
stead step sidewise. This little year
ling heifer was subjected to the of
fetal seven-day test, and made a re-
cord of IA pounds of butter. This
beat the record Of two-year-oId
Juniors by about pounds which
wasn't so bad for a beginning.
