Prof c. Larson, South Dakota State
College 81 churned for nearly four
hours then poured hot water on the

right. 1t appeared greasy and was not
attractive as it used to be" This is the

trouble was that the cream had been
kept at very low temperature until just

churned at once. Butterfat floats in the
skim milk in the form of small round
globules. Some time is required for
them to cool through and likewise to

important as the temperature itself AL.

due to several factors:
Too thin cream. 1t should test be-

GIRLS Thrown OUT OF JOBS.
Thousands Who Went to Washington
Will be Dismissed.

Some equitable scheme to send
home more than $4,000 war work,
ers who will be dismissed because OF
the coming of peace is being worked
out by J. G.. Scofield, chief clerk of
the war department. A meeting OF
the personnel officers of the depart
ment was held and Mr.. Scofield was
formulate a plan that would do JUS
| tice to the workers.
Secretary Baker characterized the
plight of some of the patriotic girls
who came to Washington as "tragi-
CAL" as they are to receive short
notice, and most of them will have
only limited funds to return home,
he said. He left it to Mr.. Scofie9ld,
the veteran in his office, to solve the
problem and report to him this week.
| s'It is no easy matter to get back
| to a peace basis in the department,
as there are thousands of girls and
other workers who are entitled to
just the consideration that they
would get in private activities, said
Mr.. Scofield. THE secretary of war
earnestly wishes justice, and those
who came here to work will find that
! Uncle Sam is not unappreciatlVe.
| The suggestion was made by some
of the officials that transportation
home should be paid, while others
thought, that bonus of some sort
would suffice. Mr.. Scofield has the
views of his assistant chiefs and will
put them in his report to secretary
Baker.
While the war department has ap-
proximately $4,000 extra employees
brought here by the war necessities.
there are upwards of 100000 in
other departments, boards and com,
missions, who will soon be without
positions. The treasury departm emf
has a large number, but it will be
several months before they will be
discharged, it was said last night:
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoc
! is working out plan to 'demobil'
iZe' his excess force, and it is I'm:
derstood to contemplate a liberal
compensation for those who were
abb uptly stopped in their war work
1t was said that transportation home
would be given to those regarded as
! strictly war workers.
"It may be necessary to have some
LEGISLATION, but it is due to wal
workers that they be accorded the
same treatment that they would gel
if they were working for private in
dividuals or corporations said
treasury official.
| The subject will doubtless be dis
cussed at a cabinet meeting. in the
near future, as many complaints are
being made to members of congress
and others by the emergency EN-
ployes who have been relieved from
duty during the past two weeks.

Pay Auto Licenses at Court House

Owners of automobiles are in re.
ceipt of letters from the secretary OF
state asking for this new years
licenses money to be sent to Des
Moines and the interminable delay
in collecting auto licenses monies by
the present secretary of state is ex-
planned in the letter as follows:
''The delays in getting your mum,
Der plates, answers to letters and
receipts for fees from this office,
are due to the fact that there are
only % clerks under the law to do
the work of registering over 3O0,-
900 automobiles in Iowa. In Ohio
where the work of registering auto,
mobiles is less than in Iowa 100
clerks are employed"
If it will require 100 clerks to
register Iowa's automobiles at Des
Moines why not have each county
collect auto licenses from it's resi-
dents the same as it collects gun
licenses, the dog tax and all other
taxes. It would not require the full
time Of an extra clerk in each county
but il it did there would be only
ninety-nine clerks employed instead
OF 100 and all the money would be
collected. Auto owners could get
service. The number plates could

likely to make it's sending back a
strict question of morale A soldier
is a soldier.
Moreover the boys who went sac
riticed more clothes and more costly
ones that the government would give
them if it sent them home with two
shirts instead of one. Many fine
tailor-made suit came back in the
bundle from the mastering in posts.
And they can never wear those suits
again. They have outgroWn them.
After the civil war the blue army
overcoats were sold for what they
would bring. A perfect coat which
had perhaps never seen service sold
for $3.50 or less after it had gone
through the profit seeking hands of
the junk men who bid them in at
government sales at next to nothing.
In days long after the war the blue
overcoats were noticeably thick in
every community.
The government should send the
soldier back in uniform and tell him
to keep it as a souvenir of his service
and for his children to pride them
selves upon. He earned it and he
wants it and the chances are that
he will keep it anyway unless it is
taken away from him directly. It's
a little thing in money but big
thing in sentiment. And the foun-
dation of soldierly morale is senti-
mont

The Uniform He Wore.

When a soldier is mustered out he
will be expected to turn in all his
equipment except one complete uni
form. That will consist of a pair of
breeches, an O. d. shirt blouse, hat,
underwear and an overcoat. He will
be expected to send the uniform re-
tanned back at the end of three
months. Why send it back and
what will be done with it? The Bay
onet, published at Camp Lee Va,
says that some of them will be re-
paired and most of them sold to
moving picture shows and the like:
1t is expected that the movies will
make a great demand for uniforms.
But why send back the uniforms
at all? Why not permit the men who
wore them to get such service from
them as may be had or preserve
them for the days when they shall!
gather in reunions and on memorial
days of the war? The purchase
price of second hand uniforms to be
will be neglible. At least the. sol:
his uniform at the same price that
may be expected from the junk
dealer.
The Bayonet says it is not ex
pected that many men will keep the
uniforms; the morale of the Ameri
can soldier it says is high. All OF
which is true of the morale of the
American soldier. But the chances
| are that the boys will consider those
uniforms as belonging to them more
than to the picture showmen and BIZ
careless sending them back The
man who wore the uniform is MOI
