In a town ia Alabama a boy, un-

water. On the bank rushing around
and telling each other what to do,
We're 80 big husky men, several of
whom could swim. While they were
pottering the boy sank. Not even
then did one of the "men" plunge
i'm THE water and try to rescue the
little fellow. He drowned before
their very eyes. Later, when ques-
ticned by other as onished citizens
the brave fellows explained, that

that there was not time for amy of

AUDUBON Co. BOY
WON HIGH H0NORS

At butter scoring contest re-
Gently held at the Idaho Agricultur-
al college, dairy division, Ormsby
Beers of the Salmon creamery sub
mitted samples of butter, and re-
ceived second place on the exhibit.
Mr. Beers sample scored 92A cut
of a possible 100 and the first place
went to man at Standpoint, score
93h. Third place was achieved by a
contestant at ST. Maries.
This statement of fact concern
ing the excellence of Mr. Beers
work--and that of the Salmon cream
cry, is remarkable. The sample was
perfect on salt and on packing. On
color it took 14A out of possible
Is points. On grain" it reserved
23h out of possible 20, and on
flavor it was given 40 out of 40
points
To anyone acquainted with the
conditions under which Mr.. Beers
worked, it is clear that first place
would easily have been his if he
had had an equal chance. His sam
ple was out of an ordinary churn-
ina at the creamery. 1t was of mix
ed cream, containing some stale, old
cream. which reduced it's grade for
flavor. Some of this cream had been
hauled as far as 60 miles on stages,
which tended to reduce the stand
ard of grain, and make it tallowy.
The maker says it was taken from a
Saturday churning, prepared and
packed like any other butter at this
creamery, and shipped by parcel
post on the following Tuesdays
train. so that it did not reach
Moscow until Thursday and was not
scored till the next Saturday. All
these factors worked against the
grade of the product, and the fact
is apparent that half-favorable con-
ditions would easily have given him
first nlace. The scorer was G. e.
Freyert of the agricultural college.
