of the treble hooks buried itself in
the fleshy part of the lads nose.
Unable to extract the hook, the
lad walked to a hardware store where
the hook was clipped off. releasing
the minnow, but leaving the point of
the hook still in the nose. After an
other unsuccessful attempt to remove
the hook, the lad visited DR.. Edmund
Cone, who administered a local anaes-

May IL marked the close of the first
years work of this association. II
was attended with marked degree
Of success, so much so, in fact, that all
of the old members, who are continu-
ing in the dairy business, except one,
contracted for another years work.
AT the beginning OF the year, seven
members were keeping the dairy milk
sheet and by the close five more were
doing so, realizing the merits of the
scales and sheet. Out of the three hun
dred and fifty COWS listed at the begin
ming of the year, only two hundred fin
ished. Members soon realized they
had Improbable COWS and disposed of
them. Many of these have been re-
placed with better COWS and the profit
and satisfaction of the dairy business
has been increased thereby.
The herd of Struble &c Long holds
the record for herd production this
being on an average of 3452S pounds
of butter fat per COW. ]. Dwight Dean
is second with 943.41 pounds.
The average butter fat production
per COW in the association was 27O.S1
pounds per COW and the milk produc-
tion was 5,S17.OOO pounds. The aver
age cost to produce 100 pounds of milk
was 70 cents and to produce a pound
of butter fat was IS cents. The high
est profit for any one herd was real
lied by Struble e Long, which was
$SS.07 per COW. The lowest was $27.95.
The highest returns on a dollar spent
for feed was $296 and the lowest was
$1.92.
The individual production of butter
fat according to age is as follows, this

| City council found itself in no bet
ter shape to take up the considera.
tion Of the improvement ordinances
at the recessed meeting Wednesday
night than at the regular meeting
Monday night when it was impossible
to suspend the rules on account of
the absence of two councilmen.
Councilman Pfouts was at his desk
Wednesday night when Clerk Woot-
ton called the roll, but both Council
men Salisbury and Sockman we're alb
sent, the latter on account Of illness.
However, a new ordinance was in
troduced, providing for the issuance
of bonds in the sum of $4,5OO to cov-
er the Indebtedness accruing from the
building Of the sewage disposal plant.
The ordinance received one reading.
There was financial miscalcula.
tion somewhere when the disposal
plant was constructed and, with the
work completed, it was found there
was not enough money to pay the
contractor his final estimate. Certin.
Gates of Indebtedness were issued in
the sum of $4,5O0 The purpose of
the ordinance read Wednesday night
is to take up these certificates.
The question of the Flynn and
PAIL sewer assessments, which has
confronted council almost with reg
ularity for some months past and
which has been the subject of much
argument and debate, again bobbed
up Wednesday night when Mr.. Flynn
stated that Thursday was the last
day for paying taxes and that the
sewer assessment still remains on the
duplicate against him.
The sewer in questin is laid only
IL inches underground and has been
condemned by City Engineer Ander
son as of absolutely no use to Mr..
Flynn. An ordinance, authorizing
the cancellation of the assessments
against Mr.. Flynn on the duplicate,
was introduced some time ago and
carried up to final passage when the
question was raised whether the ordi-
nance should be passed until Mr..
Pahl's case had also been investi-
gated and acted upon, one way or the
other.
City Solicitor Fl. w. Rooms verbally
assured Mr.. Flynn Wednesday night
that he would authorize Treasurer
Bell not to collect assessments from
Mr.. Flynn. Mr.. Pahl's case was un.
disposed of.
There was still third party to the
original transaction, Mr.. Tate, who
has been able to use the lateral of the
Chestnut street sewer and has regis
tered no complaint. 1t seems that the
three originally petitioned for a short
line sewer and that the job was hasti-
ly done with no idea of giving good
service to the men. Two have found
1t absolutely useless and have accord
ingly strongly protested against pay
ing any assessments.
On motion of Councilman Weaver
the city clerk was instructed to have
council chamber cleaned after every
meeting OF the body.
Councilman Weaver also moved
that the clerk have the desk of that
particular councilman repaired.
Somebody, in an idle fit Of amuse-
ment, carefully pried out the tacks
which hold the cover down and hon
estly left the tacks on the top of the
desk.

About forty members of the Old

town, Wednesday night and enjoyed
a steak fry. Rain did not fall in any
quantity and there was nothing to
put a damper on the exuberant spirits
of those in attendance. An iron spit,
constructed by Bruno Thiel, was rig
ged up and luscious steaks were
Drowned to a nicely in an exceeding
ly short space of time. A full picnic
dinner was served. AS the entertain
ment of the evening, the Snowden

ious musical instruments and, after
several selections, proceeded to play
dance music. The remainder of the
time was devoted to the old-fashioned
square dance, the steps of which were
more than enjoyed.
