Lamont Boys Win Prizes in State
Dairy Contest.

Last summer when the Derry Spec
| ial visited Lamont the officials an
nounced a milk contest for boys to
/ he under the control of the Iowa State
Dairy Association. The contest YVES
to run for year and each contestant
was required to keep record OF the
amount of feed, weight of milk per
COW. and amount of butter fat.
These records were entered each day
on q special blank and notes made.
At the end of tho contest each boy
was required to write an essay COW
ering his years work.
On Monday Orcn c. Leetun, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Lcetun received
his grades and notice that he had
won first honors in the contest. Oren
used four young Holstein cows in
his test. There were 1872 boys en-
tered in the contest and every county
in the State VS. represented.
The markings were on the basis OF
100 per cent and were divided as fol-
lows: Accuracy, 25 per cent; num-
Der of COWS, Is per cent; neatncss,
20 per cent; completeness. 20 per
cent: essay, 20 per cent. Mr.. Lee
tun's grades were accuracy, "a per
cent; number of cows, 16 per cent;
neatness, 20 per cent; completeness,
20 per cent; essay s per cent; max
ing his total grade SO per cent. His
closest competitor held a grade Of
94.5 per cent.
Oren is Senior in the Lamont
High School this year. The prize for
his work is his choice of thorough
bred heifer of three of the popular
dairy breeds, these animals being
furnished by the best breeders OF the
country, and have cash value OF
$50 to 5000 each.
Another Lamont boy entered in the
contest was, Forest Roberts, son OF
Bishop and Mrs. Joseph Roberts, he
finished in fifteenth place. Consider
ing the number of entries this is
very creditable showing.
The Fact that two of our Lamont
boys finished in the first division, one
finishing first speaks highly of tncir
ability and should give some of our
men an incentive to go into the dairy
business scientifically. - Lamont

In Belgium in spite of violent at

There have been other actions in

On the battle front, via Paris, Oct.
2O.-On the eastern wing along the
Meuse heavy fighting is incessant, and
in this the French artillery Is playing
I most important part. The concen-
rated fire of several batteries at st.
Mihel Monday destroyed battery OF
German artillery which has been caus-
ing great annoyance.
1t was due to the clever work of
French artilleryman that this was ac-
complished. Carrying a portable field
telephone he hid himself for two days
near the German positions and in
formed his comrades in the rear the
position of the German guns and the
direction in which they should fire. Tie
cannonading rendered the German bat
teries untenable. and when his work
was done the brave gunner returned
safely to the French lines.

"Altho the news of the fate of the
