and advertising. was so greatly
needed as at present. Our ex-
ports have been cut off since the
close Of the war. he said, on ac-
count of the higher rate Of eX-
change and also because Of in
creasing exports to continental
Europe from Argentina, Canada
and other countries. The use of
so-called substitutes, he pointed
out. has increased tremendously.
Five years ago he is quoted as
saying" one pound of substitute
was used to five and one-half
pounds of butter. Now it is es-
timated that one pound of sub
stitute is used to "a pounds of
butter" The determination to
continue the campaign Of educa-

that the consumption Of dairy
products in this country may be
materially increased. was voiced
by all the speakers. Nearly 70
local creameries are solidly be-

not to.

CdILicT tOiQ Cne BOY 10 take MS
1856 rifle if he wanted to. it
held nine shots. But to leave it
quite a ways from the school
house. The boy had to walk to
school as his father had sold his
horses, and could not take him.
Art SAID he would like to TAX.
the rifle. The next morning he
took the gun and started for the
school house. In the same spot
as he had heard the noise the
morning before he heard it
again. then he heard brush
crackle, and in Mute an old
bear stood on his hind legs in
the middle Of the road, about
thirty feet away, the boy raised
the rifle took careful aim at his
heart and fred. The bear fell.
Art shot six shots into him be-
fore he could get up, and there
the bear lay motionless before
the boys eyes. He saw the
blood flowing over the ground,
and so knew he was dead. The
boy ran home and told his father
and mother His father went
and got Mr.. Scott with his horse.
He thought it very brave of the
boy. and said he had not ought
to be allowed to go thru the
woods alone. Mr.. Scott helped
get the bear home, and said that
Art was the youngest boy ever
known around that country to
shoot bear. Art was willing to
go to school, but his father said
he guessed that he had better
not go any more that term, but
Art said he wanted to- go so his
father gave his consent, and
gave him the gun for shooting
the first bear.
The boys father sent the
bear skin away and had it tan
ned. When Art got it he. put
1t by his bed so when he got up
N the morning he always
thought of the bear. Art went
thru his studies fast. Year af-
ter year passed. When Art was
fourteen years he passed out of
the eighth grade. His father
asked him if he did not want to
go to high school. and he said
No. Thought he would rath-
err stay and help his father than
to go away and leave him to do
it all. SO Art stayed at home
and helped his father. Arts
father bought a team of work
horses for him. The boy thank
ed him very much. and said he
was going to break up all the
land that was cleared. Art
broke up ten acres in three days.
The boys father told him he
could put. into it anything he
wanted to. He disced and drag
ged it and put it into flax Art
was very careful how he put it

ripened. After him and his

When he was twenty one
