ISOLATION, has received a letter
from Field Secretary Osterman of
the national association, advising
him Of the approval of the plan
for building the first mile of paw
ed highway in Iowa, on the Honey

CURED amount of cement for a
mile Of concrete paving at various
points along the highway.

this new cutoff the site of the,
first Seeding mile In western La.
The cost will be approximately
$4,000 for the mile of paving.

Ford Oar Wrecked

Robert Coppock drove down
from Magnolia, yesterday after
noon with his uncle Charles Wake
field of near Mondamin and while
the latter made a trip to Omaha,
on the train, Robert instead of
putting the ear in the garage as
he had been told to do, thought he
would take a ride. After having
supper at the home of R. P. Mills
on Third St., he invited the little
Spires boys, Robert and Roy, to
go along. They Immediately drove
to the fair grounds and were
speeding around the track when
the car skidded in making a turn
and turned over on one side
throwing the boys out. Those who
witnessed it said it was a wonder
that they were not all lliled. The
Ford was completely wrecked.

Last night about ~ O'Clock
Night Marshal Clary received a
telephone call from Sheriff Mey-
eEs saying that a car had been
stolen at Council Bluffs and to
be on the watch for the same. In
about twenty minutes after the
call, Officers Clary and Smith,
were on the corner by Ed. d.
Bradley and Co. store they saw
the car pass. There was only one
auto on the street at the time,
which they pressed into service
and gave chase, with the result
that they overlook the said auto
thief on the road by M. J. Fitz-
gibbons farm west Of the city,
very much to his chagrin. Sheriff
Meyers was Immediately notified,
and came downand took the afore-
said John Doe or Richard Roe or
Smith to the County jail for safe
keeping.
The car was stolen from j. F.
Wilson, sheriff of Broken Bow,
Nebraska, in front of restaurant
in Council Bluffs while the sher-
iff was getting something to eat.
Sheriff Gronewig of Co. Bluffs,
went to Logan this morning and
took the prisoner with him. He
was accompanied by Sheriff Will
son who was very much pleased
to recover his auto, which was a
Buick 6.

ALL Dirt Is NOT VISIBLE
College of Agriculture Warns Against
Cnclean Milk,

Just because you can see no dirt in
milk does not mean it is clean. Dairy
men try to produce clean milk, but If
their precautions end at the point
where visible dirt vanishes, they may
have succeeded and they may not. For
dirt in milk can exist in an invisible
state as well as the visible. In fact,
the larger part of the dirt which gets
into milk dissolves and cannot be seen,
making its presence all the more OBJ
jectionable.
II is a comparatively easy matter to
produce clean milk in the spring and
summer months for the simple reason
that the COW is generally on pasture
during these months and when allowed
to care for herself she will keep clean.
In the winter however, she is kept in
closer quarters and it is then that the
greatest amount of dirty milk is apt
to appear on the consumers table II
the producer has not given the proper
attention to the cleanliness of his ami
mails. The following hints are offer
ed by w. B. Combs of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture to
aid in the production of clean milk.
Keep the COW in clean quarters.
Groom the COW twice daily, before
milking. Use a small top pail. Use
clean bedding only. Carry on no OPP
eration in the milking barn during
milking hours which tends to raise
dirt, such as feeding. haying. and
sweeping. Thoroughly clean all uten-
sils which come in contact with the
milk
