Jazz Band for Columbus
Park for Sunday NIGHT

Shady Lake, the amusement park
near Columbus, Neb., has proven very
popular this season, and considerable
interest has been manifested by the
announcement that the original Dix
leland Jazz band has been booked for
Sunday night, Sept. %. The boys have
an enviable reputation, and are said to
be masters of syncopated and Jazz

show again the progressive manage
ment of this resort.

LEAGUE ORGANIZED.
Branch of Child Welfare League start
ed at Athena Club.

A branch of the Child Welfare league,
known as the Little Mothers league,
started Monday afternoon in the rooms
of the Athena club. Only about a dozen
girls were there, but there are perhaps
30 girls eligible daughters of members,
and each of these is permitted to bring =
girl friend, so that an ultimate member
ship of as high as 100 is possible. Mrs.
Charles X. johnson was elected honorary
president and will be in charge at pres
ent Miss Edith Ladd president, and Miss
Elizabeth Warner secretary. An advisory
committee consisting of Mrs. II. A. Ladd
Mrs. w. r. Bliss, Mrs r. A. rnsworth
Mrs. Thomas w. Gurrey and Mrs Her.
vey Morgan was appointed.
The organization was a simple matter
because of the Athena clubs sponsorship,
and no constitution or bylaws will be
necessary because the league will be affili-
ated with the national organization of
Child Welfare leagues.
The league will meet every Monday aft
ernoon at four. Each meeting will be
given up to a social period and talk by
trained nurse or physician. Girls Of
1920 years old are eligible.

These cows wander up and down the
street and when they come to a grocery
store they calmly begin eating the vege-

them away for they are sacred-all he
can do is to stand there with a plaintive,
pleading expression in his eyes and hope
that the COW is not feeling well. From
one grocery store to another they take

estimates:

These cows averaged o,0H pounds Of
milk. The cost per 100 pounds then after
credting the COW with calf and manure
was sl.63. The average price received was
$1.59. If these cows had averaged 5000
pounds of milk they could have produced
it for s1.04. a profit of So cents instead Of
n loss of four cents a hundred. Wouldn't
it have paid them to keep better cows
and feed more economically or else stop
keeping cows altogether?
These same cows made go pounds of
fat. Crediting them with the skim milk
at 40 cents "A hundred and calf and ma
nure at SIS we find that the total cost Of
the fat was s63 or pa cents per pound.
The average price paid was 35.7 cents.
However If these cows had averaged even
80 pounds of fat instead of go the cost
would only be 80 cents making n profit
of 9.5 cents instead of S.3 cents per pound.
Moral: Lower your production cost as
far as possible. then figure the value Of
your milk on both the milk and butter
basis and then sell accordingly"
