Is There Money In Cows?

Dairying does not pay when cows
are kept in a hap-hazzard way, While
on the other hand it does pay when

II Figuring a pint pound and two
pounds a quart, the seven day record

ton of four hundred and thirty and
one-half quarts of milk. At II cents a
quart, the local price, the milk would
bring $51.66. The monthly record of
1922 pounds or 1911 quarts would
bring a return of $217.32 for the
monthly production, which is not so
bad for one cow The average COW
gives from 40 to SO pounds Of milk per
day which gives total of 28O to $50
pounds for a week. This at II cents

Conditions which do not reflect the
best side of Warren will receive the
active attention Of the Warren Com
mercial club in the next few months
if plans laid at the regular monthly
meeting last week carry. No doubt
much may be done along lines of bet
torment by this civic organization and
anything that is censored or frowned
upon by the club, should in alI~prob-
ability, be frowned upon in any com
munity. The club should and does re-
feet the best interests Of Warren and
not any particular group or partisan
faction. Through it the voice of the
people is heard. If projects launched
by members of the club are too un-
popular to warrant their continuance,
public opinion will put halt to the
proceedings On the other hand, ii
projects are undertaken which war

there should be no hesitation on their
part to come forward with suggestions

club meeting last week. The fact was
brought out that many men who are

the months of cold weather. The re-

possible, will be undertaken by the club.

as in sleep; Those who were with her
when her immortal spirit was set free
and made its fight to the better land
beyond, were her brother Andrew
BengtsOn, her. sister in law Is Mrs.. Joe
Bengtson, and Miss Petra & Forsberg.
She died firm in the faith Of her: Lord
and Master, whom she had served with
sincerity and devotion in her life.
Miss Bengtson was born in Halland,
Sweden, Aug. %, 1863. She came to
America in 1884 and for few years
had employment in Goodhue county,
this state. Then she came to Marshall
county, where her father and brother
had located and taken up the business
Of farming. She was employed TOR a
time at Argyle. but came to Warren
about Is or 20 years ago, where she
was employed many years as a domes-
tic in the households Of Peter Sinclair
and DR.. E. r. Frank, and after that
she has kept house for herself in her
wn-home for a number of years. The
faithfulness and devotion with which
she attended to her duties made. her

little girl whose mother had lost her
life in a fire in this city..and gave TO

her up as if she were her own child.
This kind and unseltish deed Of de-
ceased will shine as one Of the bright
est pearls i'll her heavenly crown The
little girl is a young lady now and it
is hoped she will always appreciate and
feel grateful to God for the loving care
she received from Miss BeIgtson when
she was small and helpless and up to
the present time. Miss Bengtson pros

assisted by Philip Sheldon, had been

ed her moody young husband when
he arrived. She had really been much
EN- mbarrassed because he had been
rude to his friend Sheldon.
She wanted very much to be angry.
She thought. with aSfneful smile, that
it was ridiculous that she, who had
lost her temper all her life with

knew it was because. as she had SO
sagely remarked to the youthful Prof.
Sheldon, she was so sorry for her
unhappy, jobless husband that it
made her feel plum sanity" 1t
reached the stage where. like a sulk-
ing boy, he needed prodding instead
of petting.
A hesitating figure. she paused at
the foot of the stairs trying to lash
herself to her disa agreeable task. She
sighed with relief when she heard
John splashing about in a hot tub.
I'll feed him first" she decided.
''Then-oh. what shan't say to him.
They sat down to their belated
supper with an air of armed truce.
Merriam wasn't hungry. Hours over
boiling sugar had left her faint at
the very sight of food. But John.
healthily hungry, consumed enormous
quantities of bacon and eggs. Merry
watched him, feeling as though she
were a child who had forgotten the
piece she has to Speak-the piece that
comes next on the program She
poured his coffee with hands that
trembled.
He leaned forward and kissed her
hand.
"Sorry." he apologized. Didn't
mean to be SO rude when I came in.
But it made me just i'll to see you
trying anything so useless as"-he
that sort of thing. You couldn't
stand that sort of work and it
wouldn't make a living for a canary"
The temper she had been trying to
find found itself! Her ridiculous pride
was touched! She really and truly
believed that she could make her liv-
ing making fudge. Sheldon thought
so, too!
But before she had had time to
retort a visitor arrived. A quietly
dressed, shrewd looking man whom
John introduced as Mr.. Harley. He
led him to the living room and, with
a frigid apology to Merriam, closed
the door in her surprised face.
Merriam was furiously angry now.
She had had secrets from John. She
felt that was woman's prerogative.
But she couldn't endure John to have
secrets from her. She wouldn't caves
drop. but she worked herself into a
sort of frenzy of curiosity as she
tidied her sticky, messy kitchen.
1t was after eleven before Mr.. Har-
ley left. Merriam made no effort to
see him again. She bathed herself,
dressed for the night, wrapped herself
in her shabby dressing gown and pre-
tended to be reading.
John came upstairs slowly.
"Well, old dear" he drew long
breath. mo more poverty for a
