The Cedar Grove. association claims
the highest fat average in Wisconsin as
well as the United States. Their chal-
Ienge in Hoards Dairyman was accepted
by the Blue Earth County association.
Cedar Grove reports $500 pounds average
milk and 32T pounds butter-fat. Blue
last year an average OF $500 pounds milk
and 345 pounds butter-fat; while beaten
slightly for milk, this association has a
safe margin in butter-fat.
Not content with only the highest aver

this association a worlds record pure
bred COW for her age thirteen years. also

owners didn't know what they had until
they began testing and found they had

Testing reveals many pleasant sur

it so but he had it all wrong. After fig

South Hancock.
A TRJRTTE

On April 6, in the town of Han
cock, there passed to the higher life
Mrs Ransom Abbott. The writer
had the privilege of living in the
home with Mrs. Abbott short time
during these last years of her life.
Sweet, gentle, kind, it was a JOY to
know her, and yet think the strong
est characteristic that marked her
life was faithfulness.
For the past twelve years. she had
served as housekeeper and home
maker in the home of r. H. Young
The regret at her illness and the sor-
row at her death, as well as the
tender way in which she was cared
for in those last days, testify to the
place she had made for herself in the
home she loved so well. All that
good nursing, tender care and medl-
cal skill could do, could not save her,
and so, very quietly, she slipped over
the great divide
Mrs. Abbott leaves one son, Harlan
Abbott of Hancock, step-son,
Ernest Abbott, station agent at Mt.
Desert Ferry, and one sister, Mrs.
Hopkins of Brewer The interment
was in Hancock

FOOD FAIR.
HANCOCK HALL DECORATED IN
GAY COLORS.
Annual Food Fair Draws Good
Crowd with it's Many Attrac-
tiOns, Music and Dancing.

Hancock hall is again in gay
colors. Bunting and flags have
changed very modest hall into a
room full of brightness. Even the
electric sign has caught the spirit of
the occasion and cheerfully radiates
welcome as you wander up Main
street.
No little effort has been expended
in decorating the hall and booths,
and the display shows remarkable
taste in decorative art This is
especially true of one large booth at
the stage end of the hall
The fair started Monday morning
with practically every detail ar
ranged and waiting for the crowd.
which, gathering slowly at first, soon
began to enter the hall. During the
evening the crowd increased and the
booths found their CONNECTIONS and
ice-cream selling we'll.
The May ball in the evening drew
many from out of town, and the
dancing was enjoyed until late
Many pretty gowns were to be seen,
and the colored caps added another
touch of color and dash of gaiety
The exhibits are indeed interest
ing. Thorsen Farms is displaying
it's products and selling pure milk
drinks to the visitors
The National Cash Register Co.
has on display several models of
registers and their accounting sys-
TENS, which are interesting to the
business men who are studying
modern selling and merchandising
methods.
AS promised in previous notice,
the Andes range was tried out and
it's baking qualities demonstrated.
The salesman in attendance baked
twelve loaves of bread with news
subsequently, on the second at
peated during the week.
The Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co. and the Bangor Railway
& Electric Co. have joint exhibit
on the stage, and it is neatly ar
ranged Here may be seen the
electrical helps which save many
hours of labor and weary steps. "Do
it electrically is the slogan of the
company and this booth Will show
you how.
The food sale has been under the
direction of the different wards, but
on Saturday they will combine and
help in the last days sale. Each
ward will contribute and food should
be sent in, do not wait to have it
called for.
The fair committee is especially
fortunate in it's orchestra. Barney's
orchestra of Waterville has demon
strated that it can play-and play
we'll Much favorable comment is
heard concerning the music. The
orchestra gives concerts every after
noon, and plays for dancing in the
evening.
The Boosters club is undoubtedly
scoring another big success. The
money from this fair is for the new
high school building fund, and no
effort will be spared in bringing it to
the very highest peak of the esti-
mate made when this fair was first
planned.
Everyone can help in the effort,
and can swell the fund by being
present at every opening. Boost the
food fair, and watch the high school
building fund grow.

COMMISSION DREDGE IS SOLD TO CLARK DAVIS
 FOR USE AT KATALLA

The Commission dredge at Anchor age, which has been used in keeping the channel open for incoming boats, has been sold to Katalla interests, and will be lowed down there as soon as it can be overhauled.
 As near as can be ascertained the plans of the Alaska-Anthracite Rail- way call for extensive development of their holdings at Katalla, including deep-water channel, the construc- tion of a breakwater, and the erection of coal bunkers. A large amount or work will also be done in the Boring river coal fields. This leaves Anchor age with no means of keeping the ship channel free, and according to steam ship men, unless this is done it will be impossible for boats to land at the big dock.

SPORTSMEN TO MEET TONIGHT FOR ACTION

New Wealth Source as We'll as Food to Be
 Conserved.

Local sportsmen, who are interest ed in game preservation, will meet this evening at 7:30 o'clock in the hail of the Cordova Igloo of Pioneers for the purpose of forming permanent organization.
 The ultimate aim is to make Alas ka, and this section particularly, the mecca of sportsmen from all over America, thus assuring an abundance of game for local communities and dependable source of new wealth for the Territory.
 Adequate and sane laws for the pro- lection of game is the general demand.
 The new organization will be backed, it is said, by the local Gun Club, the Athletic Association, the Chamber of Commerce, American Le- zion and the public generally.

BUREAU COORDINATION
 PLEASING TO CORD0VA
Million Appropriated by Last Congress Must Be Retained for
 Territory's Use.

All Cordovans who take an inter- est in public affairs are commenting hopefully on the resolution passed last week by the Chamber of Commerce favoring an amendment to the Curry bill, pending in Congress, providing for the coordination of all govern ment bureaus having anything to do with Alaskan affairs.
 The bill provides in Section 2 that all moneys heretofore or hereafter ap- propriated for roads shall be expended by the Alaskan Road Commission without restriction as to locality. This would include the million dollars ap- propriated by the last Congress, for use all over the Territory, as required.
 The chamber urged that the bill be amended without ambiguity, so that it could not affect the retention and use of the million already appropriat- ed.
