moveable walk or platform which is kept in motion by electricity from Pittsburg. On this platform is where the cowboys set all dressed in uni form on kind of wooden horse, like those seen on the merry y-go-round in Holbrosk. Underneath this platform there is placed at intervals of about quarter of mile raised places in the track which produces an effect similar to bronk at Winslow car nival. This is done to keep the cow boys awake. And l just wish you could see the magnificent white fac ed "stuff" that is contentedly graz ing along those level stretches. There is a river of fresh water that runs into the ocean just west of this pas ture and when the tide raises 1t backs up into the pasture for the cattle to drink. This happens twice a day (except Sundays.) The own CTS have erected some very nice cowveniences for the comfort of the cattle. There is nice cowternity home for the cows, and a splendid ly equipped cafeteria for the calves. Ana then the 6dulLdt1On IS dluOSt perfect. An overhead electrically driven conveyor carries all the refuse faraway to the south and deposits it in a large cave over in the Sierra Madre mountains. The cattle are ad- ministered large dose of anti-fat three times week, otherwise they would get so fat that their legs would change from red to black, then of course they would have the black leg. The cowboys live almost entire ly on seedless raisins, English wal nuts and prune juice. We under stand the cows are not eating much grass this time of year. They just walk around and nip the buds out of the daffodills. The names of the cow men here are so different from those in and around Adamana; they seem to be more appropriate to the busi- ness. For instance, MT. c. w. Met calf is in charge of the cafeteria; Dr. Robert R. Cowper, V. M. D., directs the destinies of the Cowtenity home while MT. Berlin s. Turnbull is in

 TO HELP TIDE
 STOCkMEN OVER

Local stockmen have good reason to be interested in the outcome of the efforts being made by western con- gressmen in conjunction with offic- ials of the federal reserve to get an authorization at once from con- gress for loans up to a hundred mill ion dollars to stockmen from last years profits of the federal reserve.
 It Is understood that President Harding is highly favorable to the plan, which also seems to have the sanction of the members of his cab inet.
 At a big meeting of the southwest ern stockmen, federal reserve officials and representatives from southwest ern federal reserve banks, held in Albuquerque last week, confidence was general that the plan would re- ceive the sanction of congress. In ciuded among the powerful influences fayoring it are some of the country's leading financiers, including J. P. Morgan & Co.
 me plan is to make available a hundred million for loans to stock men, letting them have money for at ieast three years, perhaps five. h. terest will be required, of course.
 It would be godsend to both cattle ana sheep men, many of whom owe their local banks for money borrowed Tor last years operations. Very few cattie growers but what need borrow ca capital to carry them through this ana probably the next three years. .ne tune It takes to produce beef animal Tor the market.

RENEGADE GOPHER DIvULGES
 SECRET OF HIS KINSMAN

The little pocket gopher who trav- els with Leo. K. Couch of the bureau of biological survey, United States department of agriculture. will be mighty unpopular if he ever desens civilization and returns to live with his fellows.
 This little renegade divulges the actual working methods of his kins- men when he is taken from the cage for demonstration, giving first hand demonstration of how gopher makes a tunnel.
 Then he shows how the mound is made and the entrance stopped up. His keeper then digs him out, places him back in the cage and proceeds to his examination of how to set traps and where to place bait to destroy his mascot's unreformed brethren.

Dairy Men
Pledge Cows
CANVAS SECURES OVER FIF-
TEEN HUNDRED COWS FOR
COOPERATIVE CREAMERY.

The canvas for dairy cows which
has been made during the last two
weeks in this locality, preparatory to
the starting of a cooperative cream
cry at Redwood Falls, closed last week.
At a meeting of the canvasers held
Saturday afternoon it was found that
farmers in the immediate territory
had promised total Of fifteen hum
dred and seventeen cows for this pur-
pose, and several farmers had not been
seen by the canvasers. This apparent
ly assures the opening here of a cream
cry to be managed and controlled by the
farmers for their mutual benefit. At
the initial meeting at which the mat
ter was discussed it was decided that
if thousand sows were pledged the
creamery could safely be started.
The canvas shows a fine margin over
the number originally set.
There will be within a very short
time another meeting for the further
discussion of the project. This meet
ing will be addressed by Mr.. Nc
CURE who heads the Dairy Depart
ments of the State University. The
University has already fostered the
cooperative creamery movement un-
til now there are more than six hun
dred, fifty cooperative creameries in
the state. These creameries in 1919,
did total business of $135 200, 900 or
sixty-three per cent Of all the cream
cry business done in the state. Mr..
Mcclure is we'll qualified to give
much helpful advice.

PdrentS- Teachers
Hold Meeting
SECOND GATHERING HELD AT
HIGH SCHOOL WEDNESDAY
EVE. OFFICERS CHOSEN.

The second meeting Of those inter-
ested in the formation of Parents
Teachers Association was held in the
assembly room at the high school
Wednesday evening with fairly good
attendance. All those present were
heartily interested in the organization
and the election of officers for the As
sociation was the first matter on the
program. Those chosen to conduct
the affairs of the Association are Mrs.
C. Z. Farver, president, G. A. Luscher,
e-president, Miss Dennison, Secre-
tary and Mrs. ]. III. Jackson, treasur-
er.
The program of the evening opened
with music by the high school orches-
ira under the leadership of Mr.. Bit
trich. Mrs. Ellen Horr Palmer whis-
tied group of selections, with Miss
Maude Peterson accompanying her.
This was the first time Redwood Falls
had been given the opportunity to
hear Mrs. Palmer for many months
and she was greeted most cordially by
the audience who were delighted to
again listen to her delightful music.
Mrs. VIM. Duncan, the first speak
er to be introduced by Superintendent
Hargis who presided at the meeting,
of the Parents Teachers Association,
suggesting in her address many things
which such an association might ac-
complish both for the students of
today and the citizens of tomorrow.
Mrs. A. Carr talked briefly on the
parents attitude toward the school and
Miss Helen Field Watson spoke on
what the teachers have found to COM
mend and to criticise in the communi-
ty in which they are working. Miss
Watson's statements were based up
on the opinions of twenty-t two mem
bers of the local teaching corps, and
the criticisms were felt to be very just
and such as the townspeople meriteds
The worth of the suggestions was in
creased by the unprejudiced and tact
full manner in which the criticism was
given. Because of the lateness Of the
hour the discussion period were neces-
sarily shortened, Miss Theo. Jensen.
Mrs. B. G. Hall and A. D. Stewart
making short statements concerning
the subjects spoken on by the previ-
Gus speakers. Mrs. C. L. Farver was
then introduced as the president of the
new Association and made short ad-
dress asking the cooperation Of all
the residents Of the city in the work
which the association is undertaking.
Mrs. Farver also appointed commit
tee consisting of Mrs. M. A. Ebright.
