PLAN TO WORK PRISONERS

We are Informed by Commissioner
Dimock that the city intends to
work prisoners on the streets here
after, as soon as there is anything
for them to do, and an arrangement
will be made with the sheriff for
paying him for the board of the men
so employed. The city will, of course,
provide a foreman and guard and this
plan will save the city some money
and save the county the cost of the
prisoners board. Any prisoners who
are unwilling to work on this plan
can be given a light enought diet so
as to be likely to make them change
their minds.

ENJOY FELLOWSHIP BANQUET
Very Enjoyable Event Held at Meth
cdist Church, the First
of Series

A very enjoyable affair, indeed,
gastronomically as well as in a lit
erary way, was the three-course ban
quet served Friday night at the
church, by the Elect Ladies of the
M. E. congregation. There were
twenty-one gentlemen present, and it
was the first of a probable series OF
such entertainments, Mayor Thomp-
son being chosen as toast-master Sor
the next occasion.
The toasts Friday night were an
nounced by the pastor, Rev. C. L..
Hooking.
>The tenor of the interesting talk
of the first speaker, Rev. e. Harris,
of Barron, was to the effect that one
could, and should, discipline himself
to see the pleasant and humorous in
every day life-that then work would
become pleasure, and that, otherwise,
pleasure might become merely an
other name for work. The concrete
Illustration which the speaker gave,
of his witnessing the lady spread
ing and eating her lunch and serene
ly shifting her snuff, on the train,
oblivious to the surrounding passen-
gers, showed the minister to be pos
sessed of rare keenness of obser-
vation.
In responding to the toast, pleas
ant Messages over the Telephone,
A. ]. Laidlaw, who is manager OF
the Rusk County Rural Line, said
that the ringing him up for a speech
must have been case of "crossed
wires, as a result of which he re-
ceived the message which was intend
ed for some orator At any rate
he received the notice so late he
| felt like Zaccheus-whose example he
was going to folloW-who, you recol
lect, ''was small of stature, was up a
tree, and who came down quickly.
Mr.. Laidlaw, who is superintendent
of the Sunday school, closed his talk
gracefully with the remark that the
pleasantest message he could hear
over the telephone, would be Choir
us of voices, Sunday morning, inqulr
| ing if there wasn't some vacancy
they could fill in the teaching force
The principal address of the even
| ing was delivered by Rev. F. w. Har
ris, of Chippewa Falls, upon the sub
| ject of "Men and the Church" An
optimistic view of matters and events
| of the day was taken, the speaker
urging the special need of the work
of men, in modern church life. The
address of Mr.. Harris-who has a
graceful oratorical delivery-whicl
was perhaps an hour long, was lis
tened to with unflagging interest
the weight of serious thought which
| it contained being relieved of heavl
ness by a breezy style, in certain
passages, and a fund of racy humor.
In responding to the toast, "The
Press, d. w. Maloney, editor and
Judge, properly took occasion to give
considerable valuable expert testl
mony as to what the practice of edl'
tors is and ought to be. "In regard
to looking to labor for ones enter
tainment, as was urged by the first
speaker of the evening ng''-facetiously

remarked Mr.. Maloney, at the outset
of his talk-"it is very evident he
has never been an editor; otherwise
he would know that the extraction OF
pleasure from the business Is about
of the class of Dean SWift's sun
beams from cucumbers proposition.
The speakers remarks were in his
usual, happy, post-prandial vein, and
much enjoyed.
An enjoyable feature Of the pro-
gram was the violin music, with
which the evenings entertainment
was interspersed, which was furnished
by Ora Clough and Arthur Novotne.

FOR SUCCESSFUL DAlRYlNG
Quality Sets Price on Milk, cream
 and Butter.

Where whole milk is delivered to the creamery in q sweet condition and separated there, the subject of grading is unheard of, because the resulting cream is all of good uniform oual- ity.
 The policy of paying a patron just as much for a pound of butter fat in bad cream as in good cream is surely unjust to the patron who thinks wei; enough of his product and himself to take care of his cream and keep if clean. A number of creameries in several states have attempted to pu. into effect a grading system and pays patrons according to quality. The plan has been quite successful in some cases. However, it's success woull be assured were 1t adopted more mi versally
 Plan For Grading Creams.
 The plan in general is to grade cream as it arrives at the creamery into three grades according to quality and pay a different price for each grade. Grade one to be clean. sweet cream, and commanding from three to five cents more per pound of but ter fat than grade two, which is 'but moderately sour but clean, of good odor and flavor, and free from foreign matter. Such creameries reject grade three cream or buy it at a great reduc- tion and churn out the fat to be sold at renovating plants where it is used in the manufacture of renovated but ter It often brings about half as much as grade one
 Dirty Milk Under Ban.
 The above plan should be encour- aged, as under the old system of ac- cepting all cream at the same price. premium is being placed on dirty and careless dairy practice Unless we do something of this sort the anal fly of the butter made is bound to be. come gradually poorer. Where ouaI. ity is lacking prices are sure to 20 down. Then some good old prophet will announce that there is no money in the dairy business, but he will like. ly fail to qualify the statement hv making it, There is no money in the dirty and careless dairy business" II.

The Clocks Two Hands.

Come, hurry upl" said the second hand of a clock to the minute hand. You'll never get around in time if you don't. See how fast I'm going,' continued the fussy little monitor as it fretted round on it's pivot.
 Come, hurry up!" said the minute hand to the hour hand, utterly obliv- ous of being addressed by the second hand. "If you don't be quick you'll never be in at he stroke of one."
 Well, that's just what our young friend there has been saying to you"
 At this point the clock pealed forth the hour as the hour hand continued
 You see we're in time-not one of us behind. You take my advice-do your own work in your own way, and leave others alone.

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.

At a meeting of medical society a prominent physician read paper on "Appetizers." in which he gave the results of scientific experiments made at Yale university. pr. E. H. Cleve- land of Flower hospital, New York city. writing of these to the New York Times, says:
 Tt seems that to one group of stu dents a good dinner was given with out alcoholic accompaniment, and in their case couple of hours later, normal digestion was found we'll ad- vanced. To the other group of stu dents the same dinner was given, pre- ceded in each case by an appetizer, such as cocktail gin fizz, etc. After the same interval the digestive proc esses of this second group were found on examination to be imperfect. Ger tain chemical clements in the food taken showed that the digestive juices had failed to act upon them, owing to the presence of alcohol in combination with these elements.
 oSi Aouo anu pOi ihe'ii0iAN Aii'OilOi OAiNO with normal digestion was clearly proved by these experiments in every instance. Had the investigations been carried further, so as to include the efficiency of mental action and nerve reaction, as we'll as efficiency of di- gestive faculties, there is no doubt that precisely similar results would have been obtained.
 The appetizer, so called, is not -in reality an appetizer at all, but is a deyitalizer, pure and simple, destruc- tive of the normal processes of the l digestive apparatus and of the men tai powers in direct proportion to the frequency with which it is taken

CLEANING DOLLARS
 FROM PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO SOILS OF ARKANSAS-HOW TO PLANT.

The peanut grows pest on well drained, loose, sandy loam soils of medium fertility, which should be prepared thoroughly, this will make less work in caring for the growing crop.
 When barnyard manure is used as a fertilizer it should be applied to the preceding crop that the peanuts may get the resultant effect Com mercial fertilizer may be applied in the bed of the row just previous to the planting of the crop. Apply 200 to 300 pounds of commercial fertilizer containing two per cent of nitrogen, per cent of phosphoric acid and 1 to per cent of potash. The per cent of nitrogen should be increased if a previous green manure crop has not been turned under. Soils low in lime should receive an application of 800 to 500 pounds of lime to encourage proper ripening of the fruit.
 Variety Types.
 There are two general variety types of peanuts; those with large pods, the Virginia Runner and the Virginia Bunch type and those with small pods, Spanish and Tennessee Red type The Virginia type is used chiefly for roast ing purposes; the other are recom- mended for oil content and as forage. The Spanish is the commercial va riety for Arkansas.
 Only the very best of the crop should be saved for seed and planted In special patch. An ideal plant should produce a large number of pods well filled with seed, uniform in size, shape and color. The large pod varieties of peanuts are always shelled before planting, care being used not to break the seed covering Spanish peanuts may be planted with or with out the pod, To hasten germination, soak the pods a few hours just pre- vious to planting. Plant in rows to 215 feet apart, with the plants 6 to 12 inches apart in row, depending upon the variety
 Marking Off Field
 In planting mark the field off in rows as in corn planting. and use a one-horse planter similar to the one horse cotton planter. For hand plant. ing open up the rows with a small shovel marker and drop in seed at proper distance. Cover to a depth of 112 to inches. Begin cultivation with harrow as soon as the crop is planted. After the crop is we'll up start cultivatng between the rows with small shoveled culti-ator and keep the soil in a lts0se condition for pod setting. It is desirable to force loose dirt with cuItivator up to the plant but do not cover the vines.
