new OPPORTUNITY
FOR DAIRYMEN
Head Of Dairying at State COL
Iege Says Washington Should
Produce Own Cheese.

Commenting on the course in
cheese-making now being given at the
State College, and the future OF the
cheese manufacturing industry in
Washington, Professor A. B. Nystrom
says:
1.-The recent rise in the cheese-mak-
ing industry in Washington is due to
the surplus of milk. An extensive
cheese-making industry in the state
will tend to equalize the price OF milk
for different seasons of the year. AS
matters now stand. there is an over
supply of butterfat in the summer
time, so much of which is used in but
termaking that the price of butter is
lowered. If the dairymen could dis
pose of their milk to cheese factories

mixture. In dry lot the pigs produced
pork for 1857 per hundred pounds.

' The cause of it all was the darling, blue-eyed gurgling baby upon which SO much of the plot depended, and the way Ashton was holding it.. Mary couldn't stand to see a baby held by the nape of the neck, like a young dog or cat, so she just cut across the set, camera, or no camera, and grabbed the cooing youngster, who didn't mind it's position a bit. She turned it right side up and kiss ed and cuddled 1t, and demonstrated to her associate the way babies should and shouldn't be held before Director Kirkwood could go on with the scene. The 50 feet were chW'g- 3d up against experience.

MISS PEARSON SUNG HERE.
MANY Who Would Have Been Glad to
Hear the Accomplished Young
Sonrano Unaware Of It.

Had the coming of Miss Esther
Pearson, charming young coloratura
soprano from Chicago, been more thor
oughiy advertised than It was, and
possibly if her appearance had been
made in more centrally located down
town hall. many more than the few
who heard her last Sunday night in
concert in Danish Brotherhood Hall,
under the auspices of st. Mary's
Danish Lutheran Church, would surely
have attended her performance.
It is regretted by many that they
were unaware Of what they were miss
ing until after the event, for Miss
Pearson IS reputation as a DELIGHTFUL
singer has previously been established
in Kenosha.
As it was, The audience made up in
its abundance of enthusiasm for the
scarcity of its numbers, and Miss Pear
son can have no fault to find with the
cordia1ity Of her reception.
Assisting Miss Pearson was Avern
Seolnik, violinist. who also did artistic
work, and David Nynall, Jr., accompa-
mist.
