Some Mines Resume.
Chicago. ILL.,. Nov. 12.-Resump-
! tion of work in the country's BIZ
luminous coal mines today was ex-
pected to be extensive but not on
! a scale that would permit anything
like normal production, according
to statements of United Mine
Workers of America leaders and
coal mine operators. In some Sec
tions the miners were expected to
dispute the authority of the order
issued by John L. Lewis, acting
miners union president, recalling
the strike order in keeping the di.
rection Of a federal court order.
The statement of Duncan Nc
Donald, president of the Illinois
Federation OF Labor, that, "if< the
position OF the government is to be
taken as a precedent, there is nc
such thing as freedom of contract
and the entire issue might as well
be fought out now" also was inter.

A SPEAKER FROM MINNEAPOLIS

The Loyal Mems Bible Class of the
Christian church have made arrange
ments with c. B. Osgood Of Minnea-
polls, prominent minister among the
Disciples of Christ in Minnesota, to
give series of addresses in Viroqua.
He will speak on Friday night at the
lowering of the church service flag.
Will also give a public address on
Saturday night. On Sunday he will
preach in the morning, afternoon and
evening. Members of the church and
friends who live in the country are
asked to bring their dinners and have
"a basket dinner at noon, so as to be
able to attend the afternoon meeting.
1t is probable that meetings will be
held for few nights next week. Mr..
Osgood has been a minister for several
years in Minnesota and is now serv-
ing as State Secretary of the Mime
sofa Christian Missionary Association
and also has supervision of the work
in North and South Dakota.

DAIRY NOTES

Screen your dairy rooms against
flies.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves.
Clean milk is impossible If cows are
not kept clean.
Perfect circulation of air in the sta
BILE means more milk.
The dairyman who is too saving of
feed cheats himself as we'll as the herd.
Cleanliness is the beginning and the
end of the gospel of pure milk produc-
ton.
Much attention should be given to
feeding calves if they are to become
good dairy animals.
The darkened stable by day ana pas
ture by night for the dairy cows help
boost the cream check.
The pig and cow pasture should be
separate.
Give the young calf an early chance
to nibble at grass.
Spray religiously all stalls and
whitewash all parts of the stable.
a
Dairy cows, or all milk cows for
that matter, require large quantities
of water.
Take good care of the calves, for
more of them are needed on many
farms.
There isn't much play about dairy
ing but no other job pays better for
hard work.
The heifer bred too early always re-
mains stunted in growth and her milk
flow is shortened for all time.
Keep dirt out or the milk. Strain
through cotton or filter cloth. Use
only clean, sterile strainer cloths.

CATTLE SHOWS AND PUBLICITY

The desire of progressive farmers
for cattle shows and agricultural fairs
was originally due to the need they
felt for publicity for their enterprises.
Therein they showed themselves more
progressive than some business men
who always criticise others for lack
of enterprise This type of misguid-
ed men say that a man who sells good
goods can market his product solely
on his reputation from past sales,
without any effort for publicity.
The progressive farmer found that
without publicity he could not get
prices for his product warranted by
their merit. He might turn out SUI
perior product, but buyers might not
hear of him and might not know
what he was doing.
To disseminate this information,
wide awake farmers started the agri-
cultural shows, and impartial judges
awarded prizes to those who were pro-
ducing the best goods. The result
was to help these progressive produc-
ers to win attention and market their
product 1t also improved the pro
duct of all who participated in these
fairs, by stimulating them to get the
game, and use the best methods. Thus
the result was to improve the product
and the service of the whole commun-
ity.
In any community, in Viroqua, for
instance, the displays of the mer-
chants at any time constitute a fair
just as interesting as the displays
at first class agricultural show.
Without advertising, there would be
no sufficient means fer those who
make the best showing to command
the most attention.
Advertising promotes rivalry in the
service of the public, and it enables
those who collect superior stocks at
the lowest values, to call public at
tention to them and get the bulk of
the business. Thus advertising i'm
proves the service rendered the pub
lie, and does the same for a retail
center, that the cattle show does for
the farming community.

A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

The country is pleased to welcome
to public life a new Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. The young man was chos-
en- to the New York legislature, at the
late election, the district from which
his illustrious father was elected a
third of al century since. The young
colonel was one of four sons of the
ex-President who served in the world
war, all earning plaudits of their
countrymen, Captain Kermit Roose-
welt lost his life in an air raid on the
fields of France. All patriotic Amer
leans will rejoice to know that the
Roosevelt name is to be perpetuated
in public life. The young colonel is
said to be a real "chip off the old
block" and we need more of them in
official life.
