Cows FOndness for Roses.

Because e. r. PattersOn's milch cow
walked into Walter G. Hyman's rose
garden and consumed a Sundry aSSort-
ment of blossoms, Hayward Park, a
fashionable residence district of San
Mateo, is in the thrOes of n Civil war,
AYERS a San Mateo (Cal.) telegram
to the New York World. The law has
beeen invoked and threats and coun-
ter threats are breathed.
Hyman filed a written complaint
with the San Mateo city trustees, who
referred it to Poundmaster George
Maggi.
Recently Patterson made public the
following letter to Hyman:
81 hand you herewith my check for
1925 to cover the full amount of dam
ages, as claimed by you, done by my
cow when she recently broke loose
and got into your yard. In view of
the very childish 'tell-the-teacher' at
titude you took in taking this small
accident up with sundry city officials
and others, 1 think l might have felt
that / was justly absOlved from any
financial obligation to you. However,
| guess your action carries with it its
own punishment, as / know that i
should hate to carry the brand real
men put on one who assumes the at
titude you did on this occasion"

SIMPLE WAY TO TEST CREAM
French Scientist Has Given to the
World a Discovery That 10 of
Distinct Value.

Professor Lindet of the French
Agronomic institute has given TO the
Academy of Agriculture a very simple
process for calculating rapidly the
quantity of fatty matter in cream.
1t is the fatty matter that gives cream
its quality, the more of this butter the
better the cream. This is the process:
A drop of cream is placed upon
sheet of paper and introduced at once
into an oven heated TO 100 degrees
centigrade. The watery part Of the
cream evaporates and the fat, alb
sorbed by the paper, forms a spot
whicn enlargeS rapidly at first, then
more slowly as the edges of the spot
increase their distance from the point
at which the drop has been placed.
At the end of specified time the area
of the spot is measured and compared
with that of a spot formed by a drop
of pure grease of the same size de-
posted at the same time and under
identical conditions.
Professor Lindet uses drops of 1-1OO.
of a cubic centimeter in size, and
places his paper in wooden frames to
prevent it from curling up in the.
oven. He removes it before the spots
have spread to more than three or
four centimeters in diameter.

Willow City, Dec. 1.-THE
ravages of death have never fall
lien upon this community before
as it has during the past three
months. Since the latter part
of October there has not been a
week when there was not a fun

the same number of weeks, a
mother, a wife and the mother
of the wife.

Hartman had suddenly been
stricken down in her husbands
store with an attack of heart

after the attack. Mr.. Hartman
is one of the prominent business
men of Willow City, having been
located here for a number of
years.

WILLOW CITY BOY DEAD

Willow City, Dec. 1O.-The
war was brought home to this
little city today in a way which
caused the entire community to
pause and grieve. A cablegram
was received by F. M. Rich, pres
ident of the First National
Bank, announcing the news of
the death of his son Lyle, at the
front in France, from typhoid
fever.
The young man enlisted with
a hospital corps from the Johns
Hopkins medical school, where
he was in his senior year, early
last summer, and sailed for the
warning country in June. He
had been in active service the
past two or three months in a
base hospital. Apparently the
disease must have taken hold on
the young soldier quite sudden
ly and advanced to a serious
stage with great rapldity, as in
his last letter, which was receiv-
ed by the parents only a few
davs ago, he had expressed him
self as being perfectly happy

fine new EQUIPMENT

M. j. Farnand, the local chiro-
practor, has just installed a ma
chine for use in his line of work
that promises to be a great aid
for those who are suffering with
ailments of different nature.
The machine was installed last
Saturday and has already been
given a fair try-out. The ma
chine is called the "Vibrato-
Masseur" and it will give a mas
sage, oscillation, vibration and
exercise all in one dose.
It will dispel congestion, break
up adhesions, relax tension, ex-
cite and equallze circulation,
stimulate activity, massage weak
and undeveloped parts, build up
atrophied muscles establishing
a correlation between the muscu-
lar and nervous systems.
He has also equipped his Of
flee with a Violet Ray High Ere
quency Current which will send
electricity through your whole
system without any sensation of
any kind.

STRIKE PREPARATIONS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. H.
Big local industries tonight be-
gan making preparations to meet
the walkout of union men Thurs
day in sympathy with several
hundred Twin City street car
employees who are Idle because
of the refusal to abide by a rul
ing of the State Public Safety
commission, that they discon-
tinue wearing their union but
tons.
While speculation varied con-
siderably as to the extent of the
strike, in event the order decid-
ed upon by labor leaders in st.
Paul is carried out, it was ad-
mitted on all sides that a serious
industrial tie-up undoubtedly
would result.
Local labor leaders declared
that a majority of. the allied un-
ions in both Minneapolis and St.
Paul already have voted to strike
in support of the union carmen
and that unions which have not
yet voted on the question will do
so at meetings tomorrow. They
assert that 10000 workers in
the two cities will respond to
the strike call.
Hope of federal Intervention
or possible revocation of the
safety commission orders have
been abandoned.
Several hundred deputy sher-
ifs, who were called into service
after the recent outbreak of riot
ing in St. Paul, were. assigned to
various districts, here tonight
and will be reinforced by COM
panies of home guards tomor-
row. Street car service continued
in all parts of the city and be-
tween Minneapolis and St. Paul.

POT ROAST

Pot roasts are usually made
from the rump and upper round
of beef. These cuts are juicy
but rather tough. Slow cooking
is needed to make them tender.
Heat the kettle, put in the'meat
and turn till all cut surfaces are
scared. Pour IN two tablespoon
full of vinegar and cover tightly
for a minute. When the vinegar
comes in contact with the hot
kettle, it vaporizes and penetrat-
es the meat, which helps make
it more tender. Then add small
amount of water, cover and
cook slowly.-N. D. Ayr. College.

THIRTEEN NEGROES HANGED

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. II.
Thirteen negroes, soldiers of
the TWenty-fourth United States
Infantry, were hanged to death
simultaneously at dawn today in
expiration of their murder of
Houston citizens last August,
when members of that regiment
engaged in mutinous rioting in
the city's streets. In the dark of
the night, army motor trucks
conveyed the lumber for the
scaffold to the little clearing in
a lonely mesquite thicket on the
big government reservation,
where the negroes, convicted by
court martial, were to die.

LONDON, January 15--Lord Charles
Beresford g latest pronouncement on
naval matters is a plea for a thorough
and far-reachinq reconstruction Of
Great Britain's entire naval policy. In
an appeal TO the British public he says:
1.-THE present position with regard
to the future supply of our food and
raw material is, in my opinion, one of
unparalleled gravity. Any hiatus in
the lines Of communication of our
ocean-borne traffic would create an APP
palling state of affairs, particularly as
We shall soon have to take steps to
revictusl the country. - w. 49,.
, 1.-THE new strategy and tactics that
have been developed in submarine war
fare, changing the area of attack from
headlEnds and shallow waters to the
deep sea, require strategy and tactics
to meet and beat these Developments.
Submarine warfare in its fresh manip-
ulations must have definite systematic
measures for its suppression. 70. (
THE navy has been hampered by
political exigencies involving in many
cases a policy Of defense instead of at
tack. Take the case with regard to
the arming of merchant ships. As the
armament consists of gun mounted
astern, British merchant ship, ON see.
ing a submarine, has to put its helm
up, expose its broadsides or largest
target to the submarine, and run away
in order to get its gun to bear, ipcreas-
ing its range every second, making it
more difficult to hit the enemy and
adopting a method totally opposed to
British traditions, and particularly dis,
gusting to the gallant officers and men
of the mercantile marine, by assuming
an attitude of, defense instead of at
tack. The traditional policy which has
made the British empire what il is has
been attack, and always attack, at sea.
There may be diplomatic difficulties
connected with the arming of mer-
chant vessels for attack, but surely
these difficulties could easily be sur
