Pleasure IS not the chief end Of life.
Once we expect 70 be amused as 4

The development Of character, not the
pursuit OF pleasure, is the true end
OF life. Pleasure comes into life as
by-product. rather than an end. and
the more we have legitimately the
sweeter life Will be.

A Definite Prescription.

What is needed in the United States
is. first, ereameries supported by farm
ers working together comparatively TO
produce an absolutely uniform high
grade product; second. a brand that is
authoritatively fixed only on butter OF
the highest quality after official tests
and grading; and third. a central as
ISOLATION or federation of creameries
that will perform the functions of the
Irish Wholesale society and of the
irish Agricultural Organization society
This central federation should control
he branding of butter. possibly under
state supervision; it should respect
and audit and advise with each sep
arats creamery; it should aid in mar
Seting the butter intelligently and
economically.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1914-05-22


We have plenty of creameries in the
United States. Some Of them are
owned comparatively by the farmers.
But the farmers stop just short Of the
highest success. The marketing is
generally haphazard. The different
creameries do not cooperate in sell
ing Often good butter gees bad be-
fore it is sold. No one knows where
the demand rs greatest today, when
the butter should be sent tomorrow.
The quality is seldom uniform. Many
a good butter maker with good butter
making equipment turns out poor but
ter because the patrons bring in poor
cream. The farmers do not co-opera-
lively work for quality. The creamery
does not always discriminate between
the best fresh cream and cream that is
tribe stalls and old. Butter buyers
cannot know what they are getting.
The name OF the creamery upon a
package carries no guaranty of quail
ity. 1t is put on good and bad butter
alike.

IDEAL WEATHER
FOR HAY|NC
CORN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
AND TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE
PASTURES FINE.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE weekly
bulletin OF the Iowa weather and crop
service for the week ending July s.
Ideal weather prevailed during the
last seven days for haying and harvest
ing fall wheat, rye and early oats, and
the time was well improved The av.
erage temperature was about four de-
grees below normal and only few
light scattered showers occurred.
Practically all of the winter wheat, rye
and early oats are in shock in the
southern counties, and the work Is
well advanced In the central districts.
Haying was general and the crop Is be-
ing put up in fine condition. The
yield is, however, considerably below
normal in southern districts but is fair
to good over the central and northern
counties. The bulk of the corn has
been laid by in good condition, and the
crop, as a whole, is a week to ten days
in advance Of the average for this time
of the year. Much of it is showing
tassels in the southern part OF the
state but will soon need rain In thoc,.
sections. Threshing has begun in the
south and will begin in central dis
tricts during the coming week. Early
reports indicate good yields OF winter
wheat, but not up to those of last year.
Early potatoes are generally small
and have only few in hill. Pas
lures are in fine condition, except In
the, southern counties, where rain Is
badly needed for all growing crops and
to replenish the water supply, which is
getting short.
The following'is summary showing
the average condition Of crops, on July
/, as compared with the average con-
dition on that date in past years.
! Corn, 102 per cent; oats, a. spring
wheat, 96 winter wheat, 90; barley.
| 90; rye 81; fax, 90; potatoes, 50;
hay, So; pastures, IS per cent.--Geo.

HELD AT FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, July THE funeral serv-
ices of John Ross wer'7 held this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence
on East Washington street, and were
conducted by Rev. Charles Preston
Foreman, pastor Of the First Presby-

cred to their reward rapidly. He was
native of Fayette county, Pa, and

years and was one of the incorporators
of the Jefferson County Agricultural
association, serving as its secretary
twenty-five years. He was for many
years one of the most active members
of the Jefferson County Farmers club
and was greatly interested in any new
way of bringing about better farming
methods and improved stock.
He was an unusually great reader
and one of the most intelligent men
OF Fairfield. In later years be has
kept up with all the world events and
never used glasses, his eye sight being
remarkably clear and keen.
Mrs. Ross whose maiden name was
Rebecca Jane Winders, passed away
two years ago. The couple had lived
to celebrate the sixty-fourth annivers-
airy Of their wedding. Mr.. Ross death
occurred Sunday afternoon and was
due to stroke of paralysis which ne

Mrs. Ross, three of whom have pre-.
coded their father in death. The re-
naming children are Miss Laura who
remains at home, Mrs. Thomas Davies
Geo. Y. Ross and William G. Ross, city
postmaster.
Mr.. Ross was staunch member OF
the republican party, 1t being his pride
to be able to say he had cast his first
vote for president for Zachara Taylor
in ff49, and had since been firm be
lievsr in the principles Of that party.

tories compete with the factories of
foreign countries, and as we see 1t,
that is the cause of the depression
now. The differences in 1907 and 1a1A
are as different as day Is from night.
The depression in 1907 in the nature of
things had to be only temporarily,
while now the indications are, that as
the importers get their shipping ar
rangements and credits systematized,
conditions will get worse instead of
better. The volume of goods that will
come in under a low tariff will, in all
probability, increase instead of de-
crease.
