FARM BUREAU
DIRECTORS MEET
Will Meet in the Small Court Room
In DecOrah on Feb. 2 at
Eleven O'clock.
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
MAN TO BE HERE
The Dairy Schools Are Proving ;
Decided Success and Much In
terest is Shown in Them.

The regular directors meeting Of
the Winneshiek county farm burea''
will be held in the small court room
on February End at HOO o'clock. We
are planning to make these board
interesting not only to the
Farm Bureau directors but to all who
would care to attend them.
The Farm Bureau is recognized by
our law makers and others in author
ity as being a representative or
ganization of farmers; its policies
are entirely democratic and the
monthly board meetings held in the
different counties Throughout the
states goes a long ways toward
forming the policies of the state and
national organizations For this rea-
son we urge as many farmers as
possible to attend these meetings.
The meeting of February End will
be of unusual interest, as Mr.. Coy
kendall of the State Highway Com
mission will be with us to give an
address at 1870 and to answer ques-
tions in regard to the work and plan
of the Commission. There is much
interest and some criticism in re-
gard to the present system of build
ing roads. The Farm Bureau at the
annual meeting held in Des Moines
went on record as being in favor OF
using part of the primary road
fund on secondary roads, thus max
ing better farm to market roads
which are the recognized need of the
day. A statement in the articles ot
two weeks ago in regard TO Fedora
aid received for primary road pur'
poses was erroneous in that the fed
eral aid does not equal the money
expended by the state on primary
roads, but only certain per cent oI
it. Many of these questions will be
brought up for consideration and we
urge all interested to attend the af.
ternoon session.
Dairy Schools a Decided Success
In spite of the cold weather ant
driftei condition of the roads the
dairy meetings of last week were
we'll attended and good interest wa:
shown at all of them. The once

The date of the murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Van Brocklin was Sun

Elmer Van Brocklin a brother OF

but after a lengthy preliminary
hearing held before Judge Barthef
he was exonerated and released, and
Immediately after the hearing was
concluded Frank Kneeskern was plac.

NV dear Sadie--Just few lines to
let you know how / am getting along
down here in the sunny south. 1t
is indeed sunny land, vegetables
of every description growing in pro-
fusion, golden oranges and grape
fruit hanging on the trees, and these
together with the palms and other
semi-tropical growths make this a
veritable paradise. ..
will have lots to tell you about
irrigation, thousands of acres In
citrus fruits and development that
is marvellous when you consider the
short time this section has been
opened up.
| want to tell you of the large
southern cities of Dallas, Houston
and Galveston and the place they
occupy in the making of this south
land and many things that were a
revelation to me and will be of inter-
est to you. =.
Mr.. Storebo has proven himself a
prince of the good fellows and has
shown me delightful time, and
shall never regret having become his
guest on this splendid trip.
With love and affection, your ia
ther. }. u. WoLDl.

CREAMERY co.

Annual Meeting of the Decorah Fa.
mers Ice Cave Creamery Co. q
Held Saturday.
COMPANY is IN
FLOURISHING CONDITION
is Now Ten Years Old and Has Done
A Business Of Over
$2,100,O00

The annual meeting of the De-
corah Ice Cave Creamery Co. was
held at the court house here last
Saturday.
All of the present officers were
reelected, with the exception of one
director, Hans Rosendahl, whose
place was filled by Chas. Oddan.
l.. G. Townsend, of Des Moines,
gave a very good talk on Dairy
Council Work. of which the De-
corah creamery is a member. The
purpose of the Dairy Council is to
purpose of the Dairy Counsel is to
encourage the use of more dairy pro-
ducts, and in the three years that
the Iowa Dairy Council has been in
existence it has done some very good
work.
Manager Bendickson Of the Cream
cry stated that although the price
of butter was lower last year than
it has been for few years, he never
knew time when the farmers APP
preciated their cream checks as
much as they have the last year.
The DEBORAH Farmers Ice Cave
Creamery Co. opened up for business
here ten years ago this week, and
have done a large and excellent
business. The creamery has turned
out 100000 pounds of butter, or "a
total cash business of about S2,l00,-
900, which certainly speaks mighty
well for this section of good old
Winneshiek county.
Taking ON an average the quality
of butter has improved, and the
creamery is now better equipped
than ever before. The new fefri-
gerating equipment installed last
year has proved to be great econ
omy, besides it is most efficient and
labor saving.
But there is one problem which
confronts this creamery company at
the present time, with the increased
patronage and more dairying the
creamery is proving too small to
carry on the work the way it should
be done,, and the idea prevalent is
that the company should build new
building. But it has also been sug-
yested with the big drop in the price
of butter, possibly it would be better
to build an addition to the present
plant until building material and
tradesmen wages compare better
with the price of produce.
Another important matter the
company finds is that with the slump
in prices the market is more parti-
cular about quality, and some cream
cries are changing from the big cans
to the individual can system, so that
the buttermaker will know who sends
good cream and who sends bad
cream. Of course these changes are
alright, but undoubtedly should not
be made until they are thoroughly
understood and consented to by the
majority of the patrons.
In the ten years of Mr.. Bendick-
sons work as manager and butter
maker the products of the Decorah
creamery has ranked high, and the
\ company is in flourishing condl-
Ntion. He has devoted his best efforts
10 the patrons, which resulted IN a
large and satisfied list, and the peo-
bic of this section have every rea'
+. BON to feel proud Of the Decorah

Everybody has his favorite limerick.

that sound funny when expressed in
limerick form.
There was young 'ady of Lynn.
Who was so exceedingly thin
That when she cssaycd

And here's another that you've all

There was young man of Ostend

He did what he didn't intend.
Everybody Can DO II

that puns are excluded. But it's got to
be good one to get across.
