A Difficult Task.

An exchange puts it up in pretty
good shape when it says: One of the
most difficult tasks in newspaper of
flee is getting the facts relative to
births, deaths and marriages in the
community. Many people take it for
granted that when a person dies the
editor is familiar with every detail of
the life of the deceased and his activ-
tiles, when as a fact he knows abso-
lutely nothing about him, but has to
get his information from other sources,
same as other persons would have to
do. 1t is the same with regard to mar
riages or other more or less important
happenings in the community. In al
most every case the editor has to dig
up the particulars or to satisfy himself
and the readers of his paper with
meager and inaccurate account. The
average editor of a country paper has
something like million and half of
things to think about in week and
the patrons can hardly overestimate
how ne appreciates any effort they
make in furnishing him the facts for
news items.

Long Time on Milk Route.

N. G.. Nelson, who lives seven miles
north of Edgerton in the town of Chris
tiana, commenced hauling milk to the
Christiana Cheese and Butter Co. s
factory at Hauge's Corners, April Is,
1892, and he continued in the business
until October 6, 1918, making 21a years
in the business. The factory was later
moved to Utica where he hauled. He
also hauled to the Albion Creamery Co.
for nearly a year. In all this time the
most of the work was done with one
team and he still has one of the horses
now, 26 years old. The following fig
ures will be interesting:

Public Library Notes.

If the people who enjoyed the beau
tiful pictures of Ivanhoe last week will
come to the library they will find the
story of Ivanhoe and several others by
the same author, which are fully as
interesting, for Walter Scott was a
prince of story tellers.
The Talisman is book which tells
more of Richard the Lion Hearted, one
of the main characters in Ivanhoe. So
if you want another story of the days
of chivalry, read The Talisman. Or if
you care for stirring romance, read
Rob Roy, Waverly, or the Heart of
Midlothian.
