The Council then canvasSed the re-
turns of the Judges of the Annual City
Charter Election, held Tuesday, the 4th
day of April. 1916.
The Chairman of the Rest Room
Committee submitted her monthly re-
port for March which showed among
other things, monthly attendance of
500 with the largest single days at
tendance of 76 and a balance on hand
of $685..
The Auditing Committee, consisting
of j. H. Jenkins, Alex Jameson, G. Hill
lerud and c. E. Parkinson, filed it's re-
port that it had audited the Clerks and
Treasurer's accounts for the year end
ing March 31st, 1916 and found said
accounts correct in all respects
The report was accepted and ordered
filed.
A resolution was introduced by J. H.
Jenkins, by which the City exercised it's
right under existing contract with the
Central Minnesota Power & Milling
Company to extend the present con-
tract with the Power & Milling Com
pany for one year at the prices now
in force. A copy of the resolution was
served on S. T. Merryman, secretary
of the Central Minnesota Power & Mil
ling Co., said Merryman accepting the
service of the notice.
The motion by which the city agreed
to the terms submitted by the Central
Minnesota Power & Milling Company
for five year period, was upon motion
reconsidered and the order rescinded.
The meeting then adjourned to meet

Deep cuffs of satin OF taffeta with a

be gathered into the cuff, thereby
lending another modish touch, for
much fulness is noticed in the new
sleeves.
Long, short, and three-quarter-
length sleeves will be worn this
Spring and Summer. There is still a
strong tendency to the transparent eff
fects of the Fall and Winter. That
this should be so for Summer is quite
logical. Net is nearly as popular for

VALUE OF THE DAIRY COW
BY REX BECK

per year for the butter alone. 1t
costs around lie per day to feed a
cow. In a year this would equal
$4O.15. This would make a profit of
$12.35 on the butter alone in one year.
The skim and butter milk is left.
These are valuable food for hogs,
calves and poultry. The milk con-
tains valuable element which, when
fed, furnishes the calf, hog or poultry
a valuable food. The manure a COW
produces in one year is equal to $35
in value. This is enough to pay the
labor bill. The calf is worth about
$40. This makes a profit of 1926
and the skim and butter milk. Then
after the end of the year the COW is
ready to start another with profit. A
steer is usually fed less than that a
year because this is as long as it
would be profitable. In this way a
steer can produce only one profit and
then you have to raise or buy ano-
Their. While with a COW one gets pro-
fits for several years. Then if the
COW dies two or three years profits
pay for her while if a steer dies it is
a total loss.
One man can take care of, raise the
feed, milk and handle the milk for 25
cows except for a short time perhaps
in harvest time. The man can prac-
tice mixed farming in dairying be-
cause the cows cannot eat up all the
grain raised.
The manure in one year from rs
cows is enough to offset the labor as
the manure when spread on the land
increases fertility. The manure from
dairy cows is more valuable than that
from beef animals as the dairy COW is
fed more richer feeds.

Color Combinations
Blue serge naturally takes to black,
blue faille combines effectively with
black, many shades of gray, the green
is coppery tones, orange, terra-cotta,
and similar shades. These dark COM
binations of course are correct for the
street; for the indoor dress or after
noon gown, one may allow the color
fancy a little freer rein. There are
some wonderfully vivid touches of
color brought in now and then in
sombre frock, quite Transforming it.
AS general rule, however, pale tones
will predominant this season. This is
owing to the present condition Of the
dye market; naturally pastel colored
fabrics require much less dye than
deep shades. 1t is most timely that
this should happen in the Summer
season when we are all of us inclined
toward white, pale pinks, blues,
mauves, and lavenders which are so
particularly fascinating this season.
By Fall, if the war is not at an end,
perhaps we shall all take to white, but
we will not anticipate anything so ex-
travagant unless we may take the
present vogue of white shoes and
spats as forerunners.
A Word About Shoes
While speaking of shoes, it might
be we'll to say word or two about
the new pumps for Spring and Sum-
mer, 1916. She will wear the old-time
Colonial pump again with it's accom-
panying buckles. And these buckles
will be real buckles, not mere preten-
ses, some Of them measure as much
A Smart Use of Blocked BroadclOth
as two and one-half inches across.
They range from the conservative
leather covered buckle to the glitter
ing novelty in rhinestones or colored
semi-precious jewels.
The high white shoes with white
stitching, heel and sole will be gen.
eral favorite for the simple afternoon
dress or the white flannel or serge
suit. A pair of sport shoes should be
found in every wardrobe, and for
those who enjoy skating, a pair of
skating shoes may also be included in
the Spring outfit, for it is promised
that the indoor Kinks will remain open
we'll into the warm weather.

LEADS IN TOBACCO PRODUCTS

Following are extracts from an ad-
dress delivered by Col. A. D. Watts,
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Fifth District Of North Carolina, at
a smoker given by The Twin City
Club, Winston-Salem, February 18th,
1916:

lections for the other fifty-one weeks
as clear profit to the government.

The cow was used for the milk she
gave when she was first domesticated.
Then the cow gave little more than
a goat. At the time America was
discovered the cow had gained con-
siderable on her milk flow. When the
people first came to America they
brought cows along. These cows
proved a great help for the colonist
because in those days prepared food
was not to be had and her milk fur
nished good diet for the weak. As
the pioneers pushed westward their
freight was hauled by the sturdy sons
of the cow. A dairy steer made bet
ter OK because of his muscular and
rangy build; this made him capable
of doing hard work even on hot days.
The cow has increased in the United
States from the few brought over the
first time till now there are 20 mil
lions. In Minnesota alone in 1890
there were 566 thousand cows, now
there are 1,125,0O0.
In United States 70 per cent of the
farmers have dairy cows and derive
40 per cent of their income from them.
Even on beef farms they keep dairy
cow for source of milk. In small
towns the inhabitants have cow that
is pastured on the edge Of town. Ev-
cry dairy cow helps to cut down the
expense of high cost of living. The
reason there are fewer states raising
beef cattle is because corn cannot be
raised in sufficient quantities to fat
ten beef animals.
The average dairy COW now gives
around 1000 pounds of milk, contain
ing around It's pounds Of butter per
year. This butter is worth 80 cents
per pound. This would equal $3.50

Hedqehoq Fish.

The hedgehog fish is strange crea-
ture. 1t has a body covered with long
thin spines. When in danger it follows
the custom of the ordinary hedgehog
to certain extent, but in addition it
puts its nose out of the water and
swallows such a quantity Of air that
it's body is blown out into the shape of
a football, with sharply pointed spines
bristling in every direction. This ma
neuver upsets its balance. Still it
floats contentedly along on its back,
quite safe against the attacks Of its OPP
ponents, who are kept at bay by i'm
penetrable armOr.

new deep waist effect, for shopping

Their it be the lower edge of the blouse

For those of us who have, as it

prove a baner season. Fashion has
been very lenient with our little econ
.omies for several seasons past, but
this Spring, whether it is the war,
with it's consequent deprivations to
many, which has turned her in this
direction, or just because she fancies
evolving the odd little conceptions and

certain it is that economy just now is
being made very easy and very fas-
cinating.

great extent, but nevertheless it needs
something to make it look more up
