FORMER CUSTER MAN
HONORED THOUGH DEAD.

Through Fayette county, Ind, news,
papers we learn of the recent death oi
William C. Cubberly, q former resident
and postmaster of this city. Mr.. Cub.
berly was one of the Indiana men to be
awarded the Congressional medal oi
honor for a heroic deed. Due to an
error in the records at Washington, his
name has been listed as one Of the seven
"Medal of Honor" men Of Indiana in
vited to Washington as guest of the
Government to participate in the ser.
vices honoring the unknown American
Soldier whose body was buried at Arl.
ington November llth.
Cubberly won his medal as an In
diana fighter in Arizona in the spring
of 1868. He with two other men, Cap.
Shere and Edgar L. Aston, who risked
their lives in hunting trail and pass
age way out of a basin in which some
commissioned Indian fighters with their
pack train seemed to be imprisoned.
The following note is taken from the
Connersville News Examiner:
"Mr Cubberly was born in Butler
county, Ohio, Noy 26, lS47. When he
was eighteen years old he enlisted as a
drummer boy in the U. 5. Army AT
the end Of two years he decided to be.
come a fighter and gave up drumming
HI remained in the service until the
close Of the war. Military life appealed
to Cubberly and he enlisted as an In
dian fighter Most Of his service was in
Arizona. He returned home after re,
ceiying his discharge, and was married
to Clemintine Davis, May 2, 1875. In
1915 Cubberly and his wife moved to
Kansas, where they lived for ten years,
moving to South Dakota at the end OF
that time. While living at Custer, s.
D., he served four years as postmaster,
four years as county commissioner, and
five years as township trustee. He was
a member of the Methodist Church, and
was for many years Sunday School
superintendent After the death of
their only son, Mr.. and Mrs. Cubbery
moved to Indiana. Cubberly resigned
from all public work and lived quiet
life for the remainder of his years. tie
became an invalid two years before his
death The heros name has been
placed on the memorial monument at

State Representative Mr.. f. G. Knee

contributed the following information
relative to House Bill No. 3l5 which be

loaning money for building purpose:
shall be subject to the control of the
Rural Credits Board, with of course the
approval of the Governor.
The money is to be loaned practically
at cost. The law states that the differ

borrowed by the State, and the interest
received for money loaned for building
by the State, shall not exceed one and
one-half per cent, one-half of one pei

Breaks Up Globules.

ITHE milk is forced into this
machine under a terrifcally
= high pressure In a .condens-
ing chamber, there are a number
of discs that are so closely joined
as to be almost watertight. Under
the high pressure the cream is
forced between these plates. The
little globules of fat that can only
be seen with the aid of a micro
scope are broken up and become
soluble fat. After this every pint
Of the cream is of the same, or a
standard consistency. Although
comparatively new, "homogenized
cream" is in great demand.
While the process of distributing
milk from the dairy to the Con-
sumer appears simple enough, there
are few activities that require such
accuracy and attention to every de-
tail. First there is the question OF
temperature. Extremes in heat and
cold are very harmful, as are sud-
den changes. Experts must be on
hand constantly at each of the va
rious machines, and while their
work is largely observation, it is
exacting in the extreme.

ready for delivery.
In all of this elaborate system
it is remarkable that the milk is
never touched by hand. From one
bit of machinery to the other it
is conveyed in pipes. never carted,
or dipped from one tank to an
other. In fact, except for a very
few moments it is never exposed to
the air.
I Practically the same process, is
employed in preparing the cream
for delivery, except that it goes
through a homogenizer," a ma
chine that occupies a. most UNIQUE
usefulness in the dairy business and
.insures the most palatable and conL
sistent cream imaginable
, In even the richest of cream
there is tendency for the fat Dor
tons to rise to the top in can or
bottle, leaving asceftain amount at
the bottom that is practically ali
milk. In order to. avoid this. il is
necessary TO break up the fat
glcbuies and put them in absolute
solution. The "homogenizer" does
tho work. ~, -
The Washington herald., 1921-07-03

Then there. is the question OF
cleanliness. No business in the
country requires so much of it.
Everything must be sterilized and
scrubbed each time it is used, there
can be no dust, the floors and
walls must be spotless and the
mere presence of a fly is a thing
unspeakabie. "a
The piping throughout the build
ing that conveys the milk from one
machine to another is connected
in convenient joints. At the close
OF each days work the pipes are
taken down and carefully washed
IN soda solution and then placed
IN a sterilizing machine until con-
nected up again. The tanks and
vats are scrubbed and sterilized in
hot steam.
The bottles and milk cans are put
through a special process They
are first boiled. After this they
are brushed out with a soda solu-
tion and placed in a dry-air steril-
izer, where they are kept for thirty
minutes. The moment they leave
the sterilizer they are filled with
milk and crowned. Every possible
precaution is taken in the bottling
room to keep out dust.
Requires Great Care.
A FTER bottling, the very
~ greatest care must be exer-
- cised to keep the milk at
low temperature. If permitted to
get warm, bacteria begins to form
and multiply, and in surprisingly
short while will make the long

fort. s+,.

ing, modern in every detail.
The rooms, where the milk is
prepared for distribution, are large,
airy and bright with sunshine, white
tile floors, white enameled or
nickel-plated machinery, and the
spotless duck suits of the workers.
There is about it all an irresistible
and appetizing cleanliness. There

OF preparing and distributing a
large quantity of milk to Washing
ton homes and stores is accom-
plished with the same smoothness
and precision to be found in any

To begin properly, this narrative
should start with the dairy proper,

The gentle bovine is not permitted

The result was so convincing that
m any campaign for better health
il is usually taken for granted that
the deficiency in malnutrition is
caused by the absence of milk IN
the daily diet, and the very first
step taken is to prescribe at least
4 quart of milk each day.

University, says:

gressive in science in every activity
of the human intellect, are the peo-
pie who have used milk and its
products literally"
Which explains why every or
ganization devoted to child welfare
md health betterment has adopted
the rule:
Give your child a quart OF good
milk every day for its health" ~
The Washington herald., 1921-07-03

The first step in preparing the
milk is that of "prewarming." This
is done so as to avoid a sudden
rise in temperature when it goes
into the sterilizing tank. The, tanks
for prewarming hold 300 gallons,
and there are two of them. In
side there is a revolving coil of
steam-heated pipe that gradually
raises the heat of the milk until
it has almost reached I46 degrees.
1t is then ready to continue its
journey. (; ;
From the prewarmer the milk
passes through other pipes to- a
straining machine where the pos
sibility of any foreign substance
is removed. Free of any impurities
of the kind often found in the bot
tom of milk bottles. it is pumped
to the sterilizer, where it is held
for thirty minutes at temperature
of I46 degrees. This absolutely
destroys harmful bacteria. Milk
with bacteria count running into
the millions might go through this
process and come out with only
a harmless trace of the micro-or-
ganism. -
Leaving the sterilizer, the milk
is. steaming hot and has to be,
cooled, as it is now on its, way to
the ,bottling machinery and ethe
storage rooms. Joining the steril-
izer are series of nickel-plated
cooling pipes. AS the milk is re-
leased it runs into long trough
and through tiny holes pours over
the pipe, falling in a series of tiny
cascades of white and silver, for
all the world like a miniature,
frozen Niagara. ;
TN FALLING over the pipes, a
distance of about 10 or IL feet,

few degrees above freezing At the
bottom of the cooling coils it goes
into another pipe. and within a few
minutes is bottled. =, :

Last Saturday night as Chester Net
tell was calmly sitting I'm the City
Hall Theatre. watching the show, a
piece OF glass fell from the sky light
above and struck him on the nose,
cutting a bad cash in that organ.
Had the glass fallen few inches to-
ward his body II would have struck
him on the head and killed him. The
glass was a piece OF the heavy stained
window in the ceiling and was trian-

The cause OF the glass falling was
due to the action OF some small boys
who stole into the show and climbed
into the attic OF the hall. They were
watching the show and one OF the
