cow WITH GOOD RECORD
Gave $3.50 Pounds of Milk i'm Nine
Months.

Here is story of a COW owned by
J. H. Tullis of Gooding-a two year
old Holstein heifer CA. r. o..
Mr. Tullis, for his own guidance,
and that he might know the earning
qualities of this COW, kept a record
of her daily milk production.
From April 7, 1918, to January /,
1914, she gave 1886 pounds of milk,
testing 343 pounds of butter
Her 343 pounds of butter fat at 35
cents a pound was worth $120. Eight
hundred pounds of skinned milk, at
% cents per hundred, for hog feed,
was worth 500 Total value of her
milk, $140. Her feed cost $50, leav-
net $50 in profit for nine months.
Her calf, in this calculation, is
counted as earning the care of the
COW. The calf was heifer this year.
Now, we often hear the question
asked What is good COW worth :?
Here is two-year-old heifer which
earns $50 in nine months. What is
she worth and what will she be worth
when she develops to her greatest
production? Let some of the COW men
figure this out .--Shoshone Journal

The mass meeting called by the
county commissioners of the taxpay-

solution of the question of providing
funds for bridge across the Sho-
shone falls. Taxpayers from every
part of the county were present and
the court room was crowded
to the limit while the debate pro and

Attorneys G. o. Longley and M. j.
Sweeley lead in the discussion for di-
verting funds from the highway bond
issue while the other side was repre-
sented by citizens from all parts of
the county who protested against the
use of any of the highway money for
anything besides the original purpose
for which it was voted While the de-

there seemed to be a feeling of fair

When the organ man came to a

A True Coon Story-Waldo
Beck's Composition

Little Willie lay on the floor crying.
Nothing special was the matter; only
he had taken his afternoon nap: ne
had wakened up cross as nearly all
three year old boys do. Nobody paid
much attention to his crying as they
were used to it. All at once the door
flew open Some one came In ana lald
something down beside Willie.
Look here Willie" said papa.
Willie looked around and saw some
thing. "Kitty," said Willie. because he
thought that was what it was.
mo, coony," said papa
"Coony," said Willie. Then papa pick
ed Willie up and set him on ms knee;
Then he told Willie how he found
Coony. Papa was coming through the
woods when he saw a mother coon run
out from a hole in the trunk of a tree.
He reached in the hole (not afraid or
snakes) and there was two baby coons.
So he brought one home to Willie. The
coon was just like kitten only there
were rings Of brown on its tail.
Coony became greatly attached to
Willie. When Willie was out in the road
making dirt pies or in the garden pick
ing the buds off the flowers, or down at
the dangerous mill, where he never was
allowed to be, Coony was always at
Willie's heels. One day in the fall when
the flies were thick, Willie was taking
his afternoon nap, mamma laid the fly
paper on the floor which of course she
would not do when Willie was awake.
She did not think of Coony. Coony
came in and licked all the water off the
fly paper Nothing could be done for
poor Coony and before Willie was
awake Coony was dead. When Willie
awoke mamma told him all about it.
Willie laid down on the floor and began
crying, and here we leave him where
we found him, lying on the floor cry
ing.

The Gro,Un up Me

do wish that I could see
The grown-up girl that will be me-
Such heaps of things want to know
And she could tell me if they're so:
Il they let her stay up till late,
And not go off to bed at eight,
And how it feels, way off in then,
To stay downstairs awake till ten.
And if she ever wants to cry
The grown-up me in by and by
(But don't think she could, do you
If all the things l want come true
But when she's here, grown up and
tall,
T'here'll be no little me- at all;
So shall never, never see

December IA, 1899. His father died
when he was eleven years of age. He
was the oldest child. The primitive
condition of the country made it impos.
sible for him to gain limited educa-
ton in the elementary subjects, but
being of studious disposition he was
enabled to gain considerable knowl-
edge of mathematics and surveying
He was sent, in 1853 on important bust.
ness to the French army In the Ohio
valley by Lieutenant Dinwiddie OF
Virginia. When war broke the follow.
ing year he was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant-colonel and in 1855 acted

He left the army at the close of the
war and on Jan. II, 1859, married
Mrs. Martha Custis, rich widow
Shortly after he removed to Mount
Vernon, that estate having been given
to him by his brother, Lawrence. For
sixteen years he lead the life of a
planter, at Mount Vernon, and on his
large estate kept many slaves, who
were emancipated by his will at the
death of his wife.

der-in-chief of the army After he was
appointed June 3, 1775, he fastened to
Cambridge, Mass, where he took com
mand of the army, July g. His first

A Letter to My
Grandchildren
BY G. B.

This letter is addressed to E., G.. C..
and H.,-oh, well, to anybody who
doesn't want to read It. It is all about
plgeon-toed snakes, black-eyed musk
rats. and four-legged pigeons that do
not roost on the front steps at II
Trail street. At midnight the pigeon.
toed snakes don't want the eggs Of the
four-legged pigeons, so they don't come
| humping up to the front door and
make terrific noise, growing and
h0Wllng as If the dogs were after them.
Ih1s is because the black-eyed musk
rats are too many for them. AS they
are not there, of course the pigeon.
toed snakes are afraid of them; and
when we don't get up at midnight and
throw towels and stockings and all
such hard things at them, they don't
know what to make of it, and so they
don't make anything.
The four-legged pigeons are quite
different-that is, they are not the
same-for how could a four-legged
pigeon be like pigeon-toed snake.
when there wasn't such thing as
four-legged pigeon or pigeon-toed
snake? These were very exciting times
when we lay in bed sound asleep and
didn't hear thing from the poor
beasts that weren't there
But one night something didn't hap.

have anything to eat, poor things, be-
cause there weren't any black-eyed
muskrats to eat 1t, if there had been
anything to eat, as there wasn't. So
what did they do but get into the
dreams of boy who wasn't there, be-
cause he was lying on his left side with
his mouth wide open, which Is some
thing that can't be done by boy who
isn't there; so these dreams with the
black-eyed muskrats in them went rat

when the east wind blows in souther-
ly direction. This caused the gaff of
the sail boat Aspinette to get tangled
in the hair of the wh.stling buoy SO
that shrieks could be heard half mile
up and down the flagstaff.
Now every word of this story is true
or else it isn't; and IT. doesn't make
any difference which way you turn it,
but some think inside out is the best,
because then you know where you are
unless you are somewhere else, which
sometimes happens when the fog-horn
blows on clear day just before mid
night at one o'clock in the morning.
