AUDITORS TO HUSTLE
FOR LIST OF VOTERS
New Law Failed to Provide
Way to Get Mailing Lists
For Sample Ballots.

Pierre. S. d.. Sept. S0.-The enact
nent OF Chapter 1s1 Of the laws of
1915, relating to elections, has caused
q conflict in a previous statute on the
subject of county auditors mailing out
n sample ballot to each elector before
the fall election. The old statute pro-
vided that a list of the registered vot.
ers be sent to the county auditor at
least three days prior to the election.
The new statute, among other details,
provides that the county auditor shall
mail to zach elector Of his county a
sample ballot at least 10 days before
the election, but the new statute does
not provide a way for the auditor te
obtain such list OF voters.
In consequence Of this conflict, the
attorney general rules that as the new
statute does not specify from what
source the county auditor shall get the
names OF electors, and as there is no
reference to the registration list pro-
Vidcd for in the old statute, that the
county auditors shall do as the new
law orders, namely: Send out the sam
pie ballots at least 10 days before the
election; and that they shall secure
the names and addresses Of electors
from n source that might be avail
able" to them. .#.-
The opinion suggests that the re-
turns OF the previous general election,
assessors returns, registration lists OF
cities, towns and townships, supple
mented by such other information as
h auditor can obtain, will be I'M
doubtedly sufficient for this purpose.
When another legislature convenes
1t Is likely the old statute will be
changed so that II will read without
conflict to the new one, and make pro-
vision for the proper lists to be sup
piled county auditors in plenty Of time

MEAT AND ECONOMY.
Often Remarked That the Working
man Can't Afford Real Meat.

1t is often remarked that the work
|ingman of today can't afford real
meat. He may enjoy soups and stews
but the luscious old-time roast beef
bone is supposed to be out of his
reach.
A marketman was saying the other
day that this is not the fact, howev-
er. Two women had just been in his
place, one in very easy circumstan-
ces, and she bought a piece OF
round" at % cents a pound, 90
doubt getting an appetizing stew.
The other was a woman of most lin
tied means, and she called for q
pound of ''rump," which was 35
cents. AS the dealer wouldn't cut
of less than two pounds, she paid her
20 cents and marched off triumphant
ly with her choice dinner.
In the days when the market bas-
ket was more popular, people stu
died more carefully the virtues of
different sections of the beef cree
tur' as the old-timers called it. Que

man said he always tried to get
piece off the round next the rump. He
could tell the shape of the place
when the meat cutter was not near
enough to the rump. He would go
out and come back later, and get
choicer cut for the same money.
The saving made by cheaper cuts
is less than formerly. Too many peo-
pie are asking TO them. The United
States cook book issued a few years
ago, giving suggestions for using
cheap cuts, was one of the most pop
ular of the government publications.
Many people derided the idea of the
government interfering in the XII
chens. All the same, this little book
gave many people ideas about deal
ing with the meat combine. In
time when population is increasing
and cattle decreasing, not every one
can have rump steak. The selectioa
of meat for the family table is an in
teresting study, and in these times
of high prices, is worthy of careful
personal attention.

Finds Ring Lost 30 Years.

Eldora, May S.-While eXcavatina
lot Thursday, Rev. Mr.. Crusan
found an ancient relic in the form OF
an old ring. The ring was lost some
thirty years ago by J. f. Oakley, now
dead. Mr.. Oakley was a brother OF
Mrs. Jack Bonnar, of this city, who
identified the ring. Mrs. Bonnar said
that the ring was bought when the
family lived in Cuba, just a short
time prior to the moving to this coun-
try. This was when Mr.. Oakley was
but a very small lad. One day the
mother noticed the ring was missing
from the lads finger, inquired as to
where it was, and found that it had
been lost. Within the band were
the initials j. E. o. The ring was
found a foot and half down in the
ground. Mr.. Crusan recently pur-
chased the lot from A. d. Davis, Of
this city, and was preparing the
grounds for the building or a new
cottage.

How Sheffield Farms Plans
to Serve Its Customers

New York City is now in the midst of a milk famine. Carload
after carload Of milk has failed to arrive. Frankly the situation is
most serious.
Every ounce Of energy in our entire organization and every
dollar at our command has been spent to the end that so far as pos
sible we may serve the needs of EACH ONE Of our hundreds Of
thousands of customers. But the famine makes this impossible.
BABIES AND INVALIDS must be taken care of FIRST! A
census Of the families supplied with Sheffield Farms Milk shows
that over two hundred and ten thousand (2l000O children under
the age Of FIVE YEARS are daily depending on our milk.
We earnestly urge our customers who are not ABSOLUTELY
need Of the quantity Of milk they are now using, to make demands
asight as possible. Every quart thus saved will help greatly in sup
plying food and nourishment to persons whose health and very life
absolutely depend upon receiving a regular supply of pure, safe milk.
Buy your milk sparingy---that we may first take care Of
infants and invaids.

Our Super-Standards of Inspection
and Quality Will Never Be Lowered

Since the date Of our founding, this great business has been built
upon one foundation stone-.ABSOLUTE RESPONSIBILITY to the
CONSUMER OF MILK. Sheffield Farms Milk has always exceled the
standards required by law. For fifteen years we have maintained Shef-
field SUPER. STANDARDS on butter fat, clean diaries and bacteria
count. We have PERSONALLY guaranteed the quality of our milk.
Our customers have been satisfied. The farmers who sold us milk
have been satisfied.
Now up springs a price-raising middeman who says in effect-.-
"Ycu cannot buy milk unless you buy it through me; you must pay me
an increased iceland for a grade of milk that is below the
minimum demands of the Board of Health.
We do not propose to violate our TRUST TO THE PUBLIC.
We will not lower by one thousandth part of one per cent the
Sheffield Farms SUPER STANDARD of milk which materially aided in
reducing the mortality of children under two years of age, reducing it
from IA IL per cent to nearly 2 IL per cent.
We are willing to pay the farmer literally we always have. We
have just offered the farmer a still higher price, which for the nextsix
months will make an increased cost of 1896, 900. That's how we get
the extra good milk for our customers, and why we have to charge
more for it. But since we alone are RESPONSIBLE to the public for
the super quality of Sheffield Farms Milk, we must continue to buy
milk under our own super standards of inspection and individual
arrangements with each farmer so that we can Immediately dicon-
tinue taking his milk the minute itfahs to satisfy Sheffield SuperStan-
dards of inspection and Quality. limo other way canthe public be pro-
tected. In no other way will we do business.
