their dramatic entertainment, "A
Night in the City Hail." given al
the Mankato theatre last evening

repetition will be more largely at
tended.
In the first act, wherein the city
dads were shown at work, the hu
morous episode OF last spring, when
the council adjourned before a dele
cation of the women's Civic club
arrived, was forcibly called to mind
as Mayor Meyerenius, Clerk Batenius
and Councilmen Laackius, Lammius
Gerlichius and Bradlius, fed from
the room, or lodged under the table
lat every approach of representa-
tive or the fair sex.
AT the scene of the carnival, com

came in equally for ridicuie.

The fact remains that the Missing
Mamie Shanahan was located through
a "tip" given by The Mankato Free
Press to The Mason City Times.
other claims may be made for the
credit OF having located the girl,
but Sheriff osten knows all about
how The Free Press started the
wires working 50 that the girl could
be found. II should be remarked
in passing that The Free Press at
the time its editor wrote the letter
to The Mason City Times had no
knowledge of what information
Sheriff Osten possessed relative to
Miss Shanahan having been in Mason
City and her having cashed certil-
cate OF deposit there.
The Free Press acted entirely in.
dependent OF what Information the
sheriff may have obtained previously,
and It was through a "hunch", an
expression often used by newspaper
men, that the communication was
addressed to The Times. The story
of how Miss Sarah Maynard, the lady
reporter on The Times, located Miss
Shanahan. was related in The Free
Press yesterday. The Free Press was
in possession of this information on
Monday, but withheld II in order 10
give Sheriff Osten an opportunity to
reach Mason City and prevent the
girl from leaving there, in case she
should obtain an inkling that she
was being sought.
The Free Press was informed on
Monday that the girl had been 10
Gated, Sheriff Osten was notified and
he went to Mason City, acting en-
tirely on the information that had
been given him by this newspaper
At no time has The Free Press OF
its editor made any claim to the
reward of $500, insisting from the
start that Miss Maynard was en-,
titled to 1t. She located the girl on
the Tip" furnished by The Free
Press. How this paper obtained the
information about the cashing OF
the check by Miss Shanahan is one
of those little stunts" which are often
performed by newspaper men. How
ever. that incident did not inspire the
letter to The Times. But something
else did.

After considerable delay on the
part OF the state food and dairy de-
partment the report, sent in by the
milk inspection committee OF the
civic league of Mankato, has been re-
turned with the approval of said de-
partment. The scores sent back by
the department for each farmer VIII
not be published, but the committee
will publish all scores of future in
spection. The report of the inspection
committee Is as follows:
why do we, the housewives OF
Mankato, have to use on our tables
and In our cooking. milk and cream
which Is sour or filthy and unwhole.
some? This summer we determined
to find an answer to our question,
and IL possible a remedy for this
condition. In conjunction with The
state dairy inspector, the committee
on milk inspection of our Civic league
took over a week investigating the
sources OF our milk supply. We first
visited the diaries of our city. Here
everything is in splendid condition
and the men anxious to help solve
the difficulty. In looking over the
empty bottles just brought in from
the homes we saw quite a number
with sour milk clinging to the inside.
Bottles should be thoroughly washed
by the housewife before she allows
them to leave her house.
3" Why Conditions As They Are.
"The milk which supplies our dair-
les Is furnished by the farmers IN
the vicinity Of the city. Every farm
er takes his turn in taking the
milk In. Now many of the farmers
milk early in the morning between
the hours of FIVE and skin most
cnses-the milk Is not cooled, the
farmer who collects the milk gets
1t to the dairy between nine and
eleven. There are FIVE hours the milk
stands In cans in the hot sun. Then
why ask: Why Is the milk souri,
Milk should be cooled at once to
5DF, IL the farmer cannot afford a
dairy house-he can. at least place
cans In pure cold water.

and strainers are not washed as they
should be with brush ana warm water,

with hot water and placed in the

properly built, and Is In filthy con-
dition, manure having been allowed

I'VE know that many intestinal dis
eases OF our children are due to
contamination of milk and also that
infantile paralysis Is believed to come
from the stable fly. Let us be up and
doing. 1t is time the women Of the
state take an interest In this work.
