Despite the most unfavorable
weather conditions, a large crowd OF
farmers were on hand at the court
house this afternoon to hear DIR. w.
A. Lloyd, representing the depart
ton of funds under the Smith-Lever
extension act.
DIR. Lloyd paid especial attention
to the work being done the country
over by the county agricultural
agents and the support that the gov
eminent is giving to all counties who
take this progressive step. He urged
that the farmers of Dawson county
take advantage of the opportunity to
secure government aid.

Cooperative Kitchens

Much newspaper comment has
been caused by an experiment at
Montclair, n. j.. in cooperative cook
ing. Many cooperative kitchens have
failed, because they took little pains
TO satisfy the whims of customers.
This experiment tries to provide each
household with what it wants.
1t has already seemed strange TO
men that women have never joined
forces more extensively to save need
less duplication in the work of cook
ing. 1t would be nearly as easy to
prepare ten dinners of roast beef as
one, thus saving the cost fnine KIT
chen fires and servants wages.
Many people of moderate means
who have always hired servant find
themselves appalled, b modern condi-
lions. English-speaking girls have
largely gone into stores and factories.
The larger part of domestic service
today is performed at high price by
raw-boned peasant women from the
remoter sections of Europe. If you
ask them to bring you fork, they get
a glass of water If you vary a hair
from the established order-if one
morning you eat hash for breakfast
instead of eggs-their minds are COM
pletely bewildered.
The maintenance of a complete res.
taurant equipment in every home
seems a needless waste. People who
live in city apartment houses learn to
adjust themselves to the regimen of
a cafe. and enjoy the freedom from
domestic cares.
Perhaps the idea will spread into
many neighborhoods of individual
houses. Gangs of cleaners could come
around at fixed hours to put houses t.

GOVERNMENT LOSES SUIT

The government lost it's suit in the
superior court to forfeit the unsold
portion of the Oregon & California
railroad land grant, amounting to
some 100000 acres and valued at
more than $30.000,000.
The suit was instituted in accord
ance with resolution OF congress
in the federal district court of Oregon
on September A, 1908. The govefn-
ment claimed that the railroad had
forfeited its rights by having violat-
ed a provision which required 1t to
sell in not more than 100 acre tracts
for not more than $3.50 an acre, and
only to actual settlers. The govern
ment sought to prove that the comp
any had sold i'm large tracts to tir4-
Der companies at more than $3.50
an acre, and has adopted a policy to
sell no more to any purchaser for
the time being.
The railroad contended that, the
provision was not effective, because
the lands were unfit for settlement,
and furthermore, urged that the gov
eminent was stopped from raising
the question of forfeiture because OF
long acQuiscence in the company's
disregard of the selling provision.

THE AUTOMOBILE FLEET

An automobile fleet of eight cars
from the Northwestern Naval acad-
envy of Lake Geneva, Wis. passed
through Audubon county recently.
The armored cars attracted consider
able attention and in some instances
automobiles of this and near cities
followed the cars for a short distance
to see how they worked. The eight
machines were manned by twenty
four cadets from the academy in
charge of Col. r. p. Davidson, COM
mandant of the academy. They were
making cross country run to San
Francisco as an endurance test for
the machines and so far 1t is claimed
they have all stood the test. They
have encountered muddy roads but
have made the run SO far in very fair
time. There. were armored cars in
the fleet carrying machine guns. and
as they have. a complete camp outfit
they pay no especial attention to stop
