Chicago. III. July 26-The blow of
the EastIand disaster probably is felt
with more keeuness in the little sub
urb of Cicero than in any other part
Of Chicago. Within It's confines is
located the plant of the Western Elec-
tEic company. Blood ties bind the
Polish settlement into one huge fam
lily, every member of which felt the
death blow in greater or less degree.
Almost every block contributed its
quota of the dead and in some sec
tons every house shelters mourners.
Crowds have constantly thronged
the village streets waiting for reports.
When telephone calls were received
they soon became common property.
It Is estimated by the village Off
eials that the community contributed
$50 TO the list OF dead. Two members
of the board of trustees lost members
of their families The trustees met
and appropriated $4,000 for immediate
relief purposes This was badly need
ed, as many victims of the disaster
have been working only Uue-half or
one-third time and some had been
ont of employment for months up TO
the last few WEEKS. All business
houses are to be closed from 3 a. IN.

of the funeral 1t is expected that
the ceremonies will be in the nature
of one great funeral rather than many

The Eastland, which plunged its

Lake Erie because it almost tipped
over in a breeze.
Subsequently alterations were made
in the vessel and it was brought to
Chicago to engage in the passenger

5000 CREAM SECRET
OF GOOD BUTTER

At the preesnt time. according to
the country only small percentage
of the better produced can be classed
as fancy table butter. The remainder
ranges from medium to very poor in
quality. This condition OF affairs is
largely owing to the producer OF the
cream. Butter makers are today in
better position to manufacture good
butter than ever before but without
good cream good butter is an impos.
sibility.
Before the use of the hand separa-
ter became common it was customary
to deliver the whole milk to the
creamery daily. Now. however. that
creamery patrons may separate their
cream at home, there is a tendency
to hold it so long that it often reaches
the creamery in partially ferment-
ed and decomposed state. Poor but
ter is the result. and this in turn
Affects the butter market and tends
to force down prices for the cream
producer.
AT the cost Of a. very little effort
on the part of the producer, good
cream can be delivered to the cream
cry. and the producer will soon find
that the financial results will be more
than to compensate him for the addi
tional trouble. Clean. well-favored
milk is the first essential. This can
come only from clean COWS properly
fed. housed in clean surroundings and
miiked under clean conditions.
Second-The cream separator must
be clean Every time it is used II
should be thoroughly washed and
sterilized. Any particles of milk or
cream left in the separator act as
starter and hasten the souring of
the cream.
Third--For the best results there
should be from 80 to 80 per cent of
butter fat in the cream delivered to
the creamery. Thick cream keeps
sweet moer easily and is in better
form for the butter maker to handle
Incidentally there is more skim milk
left on the farm for feeding purposes
Fourth-The cream should be held
at a temperature Of SO degrees or
lower. Cream above co degrees F..
sours very readily. The addition OF
