Mans Father Thinks.

Ashland, Ne. Oct. 26.-The belief that
Arthur Raferd, youthful hunter, de-
liberately took his own life after he had
shot himself accidentally yesterday was
expressed when his body was found by
his father, A. w. Rafferd, in a field at the

that the young man received the contents
of the gun in the abdomen while trying
TO remedy some trouble with the weapon.

GERMAN RESISTANCE

Have a Reserve Army, but

in less than 500 yards of Vaux fort. The
announcement of the capture is momen-
tarily expected, and if that is accom-
plished it will completely restore the
French line held on February 20
The German forces at Verdun are re-
acting so slowly and with such appar-
ent lack of strength that in the opinion
of French military men they no longer
possess general reserve but are obliged
to withdraw men from one section of the
front to reinforce another section in case
of need.
The report of the casualties in hand
show that the French losses were very
light.
German artillery shelled the positions
captured by the French in the region of
Vaux and Douaumont last night but un-
dertook no infantry attacks, the state
ment says.
Last nights official statement was as
follows:
North of Verdun the enemy delivered
three successive counter attacks in the
region of Haudomount and Douamont.
None succeeded and our front was main
tanned intact

Chenois we continued to make progress
during the day.

counted exceed 4500

MERRY MINISTRIES

LADIES ARE GETTING READY FOR
ZIG SHOW AT THE GRAND

The Merry Minstrel Maids are doing
everything up in true minstrel style
The latest report is that by four
O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon, these
Bellies of Darktown will have donned
their burnt cork and woody wigs, and
in appropriate costume win parade
the principal business streets of
Brunswick.
No indeed, they will not walki But
they have the promise of about four
teen automobiles, so they will parade
in real style! 1t will be one of the
most attractive parades ever seen in
Brunswick. Then the big show will
be at the Grand at $50 Wednesday
evening. Don't be late for the cur

grand opening is one of the most at

The first part is full of local hits

baby flies flying around. 1t takes
about ten days from the time the eggs
are layed until the grown flies are
Matched out.
So If all the manure was gathered
each day and put in a bin having a
concrete floor and sides, or bin made
hatch out even II the eggs are layed
on it,
Some people think to get the manure
out of sight is all sufficient, but it is
not; if left in contact with the earth
the flies are going to breed from it.
In some cities they will not allow
any stable manure to be used on gar
dens, lawns or in any way as fertiliz-
from the first of April to the first of
November requiring it all to be haul
ed off and burned as garbage It
would be a good thing if we had such
law here and it enforced. After
the eggs arc laycd in the manure you
may bury several feet under the
ground, but the flies will hatch out,
in fact. you are doing, the very thing
for them to hatch out easily.
If the good housewives of Bruins
wick would not trade with the butcher
shop, bakery, grocery store, fruit store
and soda fountain that did not keep
everything that is for human consump-
ton thoroughly protected from flies,
we would see fewer flies down town.
They say it cannot be zone, but buy
from the store where everything is
protected from flies and see what hap
pens to the fellow who says it can't
be done.

Selling Whole MilkProving Profitable
to the Dair,men Around Ell Centr0

The Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc, started
a new deal in darying in the Valley when 1t began
last February to buy whole milk. It was an expert
nent with us and nearly everyone advised that whole
milk could not be handled through the summer
months
"rhe proof Of the pudding is in the eating" is
an old saying. We have given the whole milk bllsl-
ness most thorough trial and found that for gen
eral quality and easy handling the Imperial Valley
can furnish as good whole milk as any other section
of California
Now we are ready 20 back up our judgment in
this matter by making price to the farmers that
will mean more money for milk than before.
In handling whole milk cost of hauling is an i'm
portant factor which must be considered. Our pur-
chases for the present must therefore be confined to
an area around Ell Centro within reasonable hauling
distance.
Beginning September 1st, our prices will be as
follows:
Whole Milk seven cents over Los Angeles quota
tons.
Sweet Cream three cents over Los Angeles quo
tatiOns. | ss~ 49, I
Sour Cream one cent over Los Angeles quota
tons.
The whole question of price is based on quality.
From whole milk and sweet cream, we can make the
best butter turned out in California. Good butter
increases the consumption We have found an in
crease of as much as IS per cent where we have
placed poor butter with the kind Of butter we can
make from Imperial Valley whole milk and sweet
cream.
Imperial Valley farmers cannot afford to turn
down this opportunity to make more profits. The
Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc. has given you
this opportunity and we ask your patronage
