COW GOT THE BREAD.
Animal Got Nose and Mouth Into
Pail, Nearly Died Before Pail
Was Removed.

We have heard of the high price
of -four, and most of us have realiz-
ed it too, but this is the first in
stance brought to our notice where
a COW almost gave its life for a small
piece of bread, says the Elgin, Iowa
Echo.
We learned the facts as follows:
Friday, the pupils at the school
near the Frank Hunsberger home
had gone into the John Reitz pas
ture to eat their MONDAY lunch. At
ter eating they were playing games
and had left their pals standing on
the ground. In one of these pals
was a piece of bread, and a bossy
that happened along that way dis
covered this fact The COW coveted
the dainty morsel and thrust its
nose into the pail in an attempt to
secure it. The pail was not large
enough to permit easy access for the
nose and mouth, so bossy had to
push hard. When she raised her
head the pail was firmly fastened to
it. The children went to the rescue
but their efforts were of 40 avail.
They then ran to the home OF Mr..
Rietz but could not find him. Frank
Hunsberger was then sought and he
went to the rescue. When he arrived
on the scene he found that the COW
had fallen to the ground from ex-
haustion. Mr.. Rietz had also arriv-
ed and by the combined efforts of
the two men the COW was saved from
sure death, as its breathing had TAX
en- all the air out of the pail, which
had become almost vacuum, and
the bottom was being forced for
ward and back by the animals exhal-
atoms. 1t took long pull, strong
pull and pull altogether to get that
pail loose.
This was not a bread riot, but was
piece of bread that caused some
tan hustling and a good laugh after
the incident had been satisfactorily
concluded to the owner of the COW,
and to bossy as we'll, we suppose.
Regarding the ultimate disposition
of the bread-we know not.

WHO DON'T SUCCEED.
Men of This Type Should Feel That
One is Never too Old to Learn.

According to popular conception
| the farmer of today is man who is
getting high prices for everything.
making money, and enjoying lot Of
iuXuries from automobiles down.
This does apply to host OF men who
have fertile lands, business ability,
and are getting rich on present high
prices. But there are many others
who for some reason or other are
still having hard struggle.
They may feel themselves too old
to go to an agricultural school and
get the thorough training they need.
So they plod along il the old way,
not as badly in debt as they used to
be, but still having to work hard for
every dollar they make. They do
the best they can in their old fash
Toned way, and are good citizens and
good neighbors. But the prosperity
wave has not struck them.
Farmers of this type need to real
ize that no one is ever too old to
learn They would do we'll next win
ter if they would close up all farm
ing operations and take some short
course at an agriculture school, 1t
would not cost them a great deal and
they would be surprised at the ideas
they would get. Meanwhile there is
no end OF opportunities within
reach of the farmer without leaving
his own acres.
He can get expert advice free from
to increase food production. He
would better pay for advice of men
who know the science of the special
ties in which he is interested, rath-
er than go along in an unproductive
way.
If farmer can't make money to-
day there must be something the
matter with his methods. Frequent
| ly the trouble is lack of bookkeep-
| ing. He does not keep separate the
costs AID returns of each individual
enterprise. A certain crop as he is
handling it may lose him money or
some of his cattle may yield less re-
turn than their feed is worth. A man
like that needs good advice from
some competent expert. If he will
not take advice as other business do,
he must not complain if he lacks
success.

Anybody who knows anything about

we get now could be vastly improved
if the city and the company would
cooperate. Delays are caused now
byother vehicles using the car tracks
and the parking of autos on the al
ready crowded streets leaves no
room for autos, trucks and wagons
anywhere but on the car tracks. Any
body who rides on street cars sees
this. The city can regulate vehicle
traffic. It can also prevent the park.

common sense and organization of
all kinds of traffic would make it pos

faster time. This can be done with
out spending a dollar. Make the most

SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Put Business Before Pleasure Until
 You Have Reached the Top.


 In an article called Succeeding With What You Have" in tine Anlcrl- ran Magazine Charles Nj. Schwab says: "I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job just aleai Is to work little harder than any one else on the job one is holding down. One of the most successful men I have known never carried watch until he began to earn $1O.O0O a year. Before that he had managed with a nickel alarm clock in his bedroom, which hr never forgot to wind.
 "Young men may enjoy dropping their work at 5 or q o'clock and slip ping into dress suit for an evening of pleasure. but the habit has certain drawbacks. I happen to know several abiebodied gentlemen who got 1t so completely that now they are spending all their time. days as well as even ings. in dress suits, serving food In fashionable restaurants to men who did not get the dress suit habit until somewhat later in life.
 Recently we have heard much about investments. To my mind the best In vestment a young man starting out in business can possibly make is to give all his time. all his energies. to work just plain. hard work. After mans position is assured he can indulge in pleasure If he wishes. He will have lost nothing by waiting g-and gained much. He will have made money enough really to afford to spend some and he will Know that he has done his duty by himself and by the world"

WITH RESPECT TO
 OILING THE STREETS

Considerable complaint was made last year about the manner in which the streets were oiled, the amount of oil placed on certain streets and offic- ials of the city were severely criticised by parties not satisfied with the oil- ing. The same complaint is being heard this summer and the same criti- cisms arc being made.
 Once and for all 1 desire to state that this year, as last year, the city of Prescott and the officials and em- ployes of the city have absolutely nothing to do with the purchasing of oil, the amount that should be placed
