citation held an important meeting at
the Farm Bureau office Tuesday.
Plans were made to further the in
terests of the Guernsey association
and, without doubt, the Guernsey
breeders will be more active in
building up their association from
this time on. There are some splen-
did Guernsey herds in our county
and every good dairyman, no matter
what breed of cattle interests him,
will be pleased to learn of the activ-
tiles of the Guernsey breeders,
1t was planned to maugurate a
pure bred calf club contest and at
least ten pure bred heifer calves will

girls this coming spring. A commit

ty agent, N. Alfred Nelson of Eagle
Bend, and F. A. Mccartney of. Long

sented at the state association con-
vention in January, E. H. Bemis,

Chas. Hirth and R. S. Austin being

"Curiosity killed cat," but it saw
ed the life of William Cook of this
city last Thursday afternoon, I'M
doubtedly. Cook, who is a former
service man, was digging out els
tern in the basement of the new
home of his father on E. street be-
tween Sixth and Fifth avenues when
shortly before noon the sand start
ed caving in, and soon had buried
him up to the neck. The displacement
of the sand had also undermined the
chimney in the corner of the building
in which he was working and this
fell down beside him, not falling on
him, fortunately but wedging him on
the more tightly. He was the only
man at work on the building, and
his cries for help could not be heard
as far as the street. AS ]. A. Carl
son was returning to his store at
ter dinner, he was prompted by an
interest IN the building of the new
= house to go up to the windows and
look in. Upon reaching the window
he heard the cry of help, family call
ed from within. 1t was not long be-
fore he had discovered the helpless
man, and had rescued him after get
ting the assistance of other men in
the neighborhood. Cook was unin-
jured, and soon had recovered fully
from any effect caused by his mar
row escape. 1t is doubtful if he
could have withstood for much
longer time the pressure of the sand
and it's sitting effect upon his cir
culation. Alexandria Citizen-New
