Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland
What the city woman needs is butter
that is standardized and always Oh a

comes as fresh and comes as straight
as may be from the COW on the farm

With the husband singing in her ears
the song of high cost OF hvlng-anu
what husband is not driven to such
songs in these days of high prices
she feels that she must get butter that
can be bought at something less than
the fancy prices charged in the exclu-
siye delicatessen shops to which she
IS driven in her efforts to insure her
family a good grade of butter ASK
her and she will tell you that II coop

ton charges then she is heartily Tor

The city man Of course, wants a
good butter to eat The farmer wants
to make money from his dairy. They
have been telling us in America that
direct cooperative marketing will give
each what he wants; that cooperation
has repeatedly accomplished these re-
suits where it has been tried in Ire
land, in Holland, in Denmark and IN
Germany. If cooperation will do this
it is well to look into it for good but
fer is important-and financial profits

The best English is said to be
spoken in Scotland-but not on the
Clyde!
A Londoner, just returned from
Scotland, sends a Daily Chronicle cor
respondent this example of Firth Of
Clyde language: "Poo-pa-poo: aw-ma-
moo. gaur-pa-poo." The strange sounds
are supposed to be uttered by wee
Macgreegor in a rowing-bo with his
parents; and the Interpretation is,

1t IS SAID tnat some one told
some one tnat we never gOJ any

almost true; for though it does

the indefa lguable marshall has
shOveled it ouS of the patn. and
while there is about two feet Of

been blockaded between here an

And speaking of changeable

1,OOO. RABBIT SCALPS.
Gooding Hunters Establish Re-
cord for Helpful Slaughter

The big rabbit hunt at Gooding has
brought some surprising scores. One
team of two men already has a score of
more than 1000 rabbit scalps, and the
second team has more than 5000 scalps
on record. The total SO far reported is
more than 81, 900 rabbits. 1t is proba-
BILE that some of the hunters have lot
of scalps cached away, to spring at the
last moment, and make vigorous try
for the rich prize being offered. Nearly
$3.50 will be offered to the winners of
the contest---besides what they may
win in ridding their farms and commun-
tiles of very great pest.

Good Booster Issue
The Shoshone Journal of last
week was a big special number
of 24 pages, devoted to telling OF
the good things of Southern
Idaho. 1t was one of the biggest
of the Southern Idaho specials
of the year, and also one of The
best. 1t represents a lot Of work
to get up such an edition ly
it doesn't pay, either in money
or in credit from the community
that receive the most benefit. Bu'
this special is an excellent "Boos
teri number for this part of the
state, and is a real credit to the
publisher, J.F. NJ slvin. The ldah
irrigation Company has secured
a number of copies, to send out
to its contract holders, believing
it to be wor' h while presenta-
ton of conditions as the ate

Education and Suicide.

The American Practitioner declares
that suicide increases with education
and civilization and adds: 1T has
been said that the spread of the alpha
bet is coincident with that of self
murder. The savage rarely takes his
own life. In Italy, Russia and Spain,
where the standard of education is
low, the fewest suicides on the conti-
nent of Europe occur, while in France
and Germany, where the people are
more sensitive and refined and where
the standard Of education is higher
the percentage is much increased

ton really is a benefit both to the city
eater and to the rural producer.
The cooperative creamery here is
turning out good butter-none better
anywhere. We think we have found
why Irish butter is good, why it brings
to the farmer a good price in this city.
The butter is good because co-opera-
tive creameries use good methods OF
butter making; because their patrons
eet good milk from good COWS, take
good care of it, and deliver 1t in good
condition to the creamery; and lastly
because when once made it is hurried
off to a consumer before it can get
stale. They get good price for 1t be-
cause it is good butter.
On the other hand, the city gets it at
a reasonable price because co-opera-
tive marketing in Ireland is direct
marketing; because the butter comes
quickly and directly from the cream
cry to the city home with little added
expense for much handling by many
middlemen.
Why Farm Butter Is Sometimes Bad.

shows that the district has spent

This includes, as those know
who cares to do so, the semi
