OLD MAIDS CORNER

We sincerely wish that Flop
-Gault would say what she means
and not get so beattled such as say
ing Brain Powder. We wonder if
anyone has such stuff. You know
that she meant Brain Power.
bud. kemper has been going to
the shows quite a bit lately and he
has eaten quite bit of ice cream.
He always has someone with him
and Dud. doesn't do the paying.
The Old Maids have Joined a
Stock Company and don't you know
that Aunt Nathalie and Aunt Ma
tilda are men too The characters
are as follows:
Percival Tthelbert Walsh, Mar

Beatrice Kelley; Betty Jane Hogin,
Edna Mae Ruby; June Adams, Alice

The first thing that you will

AS Pearl Bonner didn't under
stand how to wash trays in the Gar
field kitchen, Aunt Matilda tried to
show her but it was soon shown
that Pearl knew just as much as
Aunt Matilda.
A girl came running up to Aunt
Matilda the other day and said that
she had something to put in the
Junior and whot do you think it
was? Well, listen and we'll tell you;
Reginal Todd washed his face the
other day.
| suppose that you all know that
Aunt Matilda had a beautiful black
cat named Betty and that Granny
Hodapp also had a cat named
Thomas Schumacher Hodapp Junior.
Well, you know that they had very
romantic mistresses so they arrang-
ed a wedding for the cats without
their consent. Betty had lovely
red ribbon for her wedding dress
and Thomas had a beautiful new
collar. Aunt Matilda went home
the day before the wedding and
Betty was gone She had gone
away the day before the wedding.
The refreshments were all planned
too.
Dear readers of the Old Maid S
Corner:
suppose you all realize that
Tuesday Dec. 25th is Christmas.
We aren't going to get as many
presents as usual but we will not
pout about that because we all
know the reason. We said several
weeks ago that we would ike some
candy but We would much rather
folks would spend their money for
Thrift Stamps. Our government
needs money and think that we
all should be willing to do without
candy and ice cream in order to
help Uncle Sam
Wishing you all Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year.
Yours truly, Aunt Matilda.

The third stock Judging contest OF
the Rock county district took place
Wednesday. This is a contest under
the auspices of committee of the ag-
ricultural section Of the Wisconsin
State Teachers association, in which
the state is divided into districts, the
schools in each district competing
against each other, and the winning
teams trying out for the state honors
at final meet at Madison in February.
The high schools Of Milton, Milton
Junction, Edgerton and GAINESVILLE were
the ones taking part in the contest on
Wednesday. Each school was repre-
scented by team of three boys, who
were to judge each class of stock pre-
scented for their consideration and give
reasons for their ranking. The boys
were accompanied by their agricultural
instructors. The judges were w. T..
Crandall, formerly instructor in animal
husbandry in the college of agriculture
at Urbana, ILL.,; County Agent L. A.
Markham, assisted by Ira Inman of
Beloit and HI. w. Ayres, officers of the
Brown Swiss Breeders association.
Secretary Senty of the Y. M. C. A.
was also one of the party which met at
the GAINESVILLE high school about eight
thirty, going out from there in cars to
the various farms where the stock to
be judged was located.
The first stop was made at E. H.
Parker's, where the boys tried their
skill On class OF four Daroc Jersey
boars, and another class consisting Of
the same number of shorthorn beef
cattle.
The party next proceeded to the farm
of Ward Brothers, about two miles
southeast of Emerald Grove, where a
class of Holstein cows was ranked by
the boys.
The farm Of Ohm Cooper, near Clin-
ton, was the next place of interest.
Mr.. Cooper's fine herd of Brown Swiss
here claimed their first attention.
The cows being judged, draft horses
were next judged. Mr.. Ayers giving
the ranking and explanation. After
this came mutton sheep with Mr..
Cooper making the explanation.
This closed the work of judging for
the day. An examination Of the boys
papers gave the following results:
First place. Edgerton, $500 points;
second, Evansville, 1920 points; third,
Milton, $3.50 points; fourth, Milton
Junction, 572O points. The individual
ranking highest was Lowell Slagg of
Edgerton, and the second highest was
Francis Cunningham of GAINESVILLE.
The Edgerton team, consisting of
Lowell Slagg, Russell Schoenfeld and
Ketchell Sayre, will represent the
county at Madison in February.

Prize Winners at Germ and Potato
Exhibit.

The second annual corn and potato
meeting held under the auspices of the
agricultural department of the Edger-
ton high school on Thursday and Friday
last attracted much interest among the
farmers of this community. The pro-
gram opened Thursday evening with
songs by the girls glee club. Prof. R.
E. Dexter then gave very clear ex-
position of what the school stood for in
the community, especially the agricul-
tural course of which he is the head.
He was followed by Walter L. Hous-
er. Mr.. Houser has raised bred
stock for the last thirty years, and the
fact that he has made success of it
was well demonstrated by '.he honors
he won at the International Stock Show
held in Chicago the past week, where
he competed against the best the world
has produced. He has made thor
ough study of the business of bred
stock raising and has the figures to
prove his contentious. He was highly
complimentary of the work that has
been accomplished by the young boys
and girls in the baby beef contests of
this state, and showed that the young
people had demonstrated to their par
ents possibilities that the parents had
not learned in all their years of farm
ing.
The program of Friday afternoon
consisted of an address given by A. J.
Glover on 8 What to Feed This Win
ter" which was most instructive Mr..
Glover is associate manager of Hoard's
Dairyman Mr.. D. B. Hobson of Lam
caster, who is q prominent hog raiser
of that section, gave his views on the
hog industry.
In the evening L. A. Markham,
county agricultural agent, gave most
interesting talk on THE Opportunities
Open to the Farmers. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Holden who discussed the
corn situation. 1t was through the
combined efforts of the high school and
the Edgerton Credit association that
this meeting was made possible and the
interest shown will warrant another
meeting of this character next year.
Prizes donated by the Edgerton Credit
Association.
