II. Mason, OF laurel Miss. had been
awarded the prize OF 81 900 offered at
the last preceding annual meeting OF
the Congress by the utilization and
waste prevention committee Of the Ma

ton for the best new method, pro-
cess, machine or device which would
result In the saving of labor, time,
material or cost when applied to pres
ent manufacturing processes In the
lumber Industry.
Mr.. Mason is a nephew OF Walter
Alexander, veteran lumberman OF
northern Wisconsin, and Is son-in-
law OF Mrs. +. G.. Dana of this city.
He is well known locally.
From the American Lumberman the
following is quoted: "The achieve
ment for which Mr.. Mason was award
ed the prize was the discovery and
perfection by him Of the process
which removes pitch from lumber and
at the same time dries the stock,
raising the grades and recovering by
products of losin. turpentine and pine
oil. BY action Of the board OF direc-
tors OF the National association, taken
at its meeting at Chicago on April
5th, the prize fund for the ensuing
year was Increased to $4,000, dou-
bling the initial appropriation OF last
year"

Owners OF cows which freshened
during the month and which pro-
ducetI fat at the rate Of forty pounds
for tlle month, are listed by Mr.. Jenny
as TO llows: Clarence Jensema, G.. H.,

nativs. 1884, 43.1 rate Of fat; Geo.
Glasel. Jr., r. H., 1878. 427 rate of
fat and Hettinga- -Herrema company,
G. H., 1074, 40.8 rate of fat
THE importance of feeding Is clear
ly shown by the results from the herd
of grade and registered Guernseys
owned by Schneider Bros" writes Mr..
jenny Choice pea-green alfalfa was
fed at the beginning of the month as
the ortly roughage, followed a week
later ny a coarse, dry grade OF the
legum.s hay. AS a result this herd
averaged fifty pounds less milk per
day at the end than at the beginning
of the month. One COW in particular
dropped from forty to twenty-eight
pounds of milk per day in one month
The herd of Jake Hunter scored high
est producing on the average of 31.S
| pounds of fat contained in 931 pounds
OF milk. This is a remarkable record
since the cows received no silage in
their ration.
at isl important to remember at this
time that cows must not be allowed
to get along without sufficient grain
with the approach of pasture time. In
order to insure maximum production
from grazing, it Is best not only to
feed the usual amount of grain up to
pastureI time, but to supplement the
pasture with some grain for at least
month after the cows are allowed
to graze"
Mr.. Jenny says that many members
are considering the purchase of neu-
trailer this spring and that Louis
Mortensbn, II. X. Zimmerman and Mrs.
Il. Coleman comparatively bought a
carload of limestone In March.

nances at our disposition are the most
bitter sacrifice the taxpayer shall ever
have been asked to make, and while
the aggregate sum levied in the budget
for the year 1922 is the greatest ever
levied against their property in any
one year, q large sum therefrom has
been consumed in the redemption of

Cemetery Assn.
Seems In Order,

The congregation of the local
Catholic Church, are discussing
among themselves informally
some manner of operating the To-
cal cemetery. With the pros
pect Of the church be-
ing located in town,
removed from the cemetery as it
viii be, it would be a difficult mat
ter to expect the sexton to handle
beth positions with satisfaction
to himself or to the church.
In he majority of communities
this condition does exist, and the
cemeteries are as a rule apart
and independent from the church
and are operated, for, by, and un-
der direction of the members of
the church themselves. Usually
organizations are form
ed, as is the case with the Pro-
testann Cemetery in this town.
The association seems to be the
most popular here, and 1t appeals
to us as the only practical way.
AS it is so successfully, and adj
vanteageously operated in other
communities it might be tried
here. In discussing the matter
with several prominent members
of the Church, and one in particu
lar, he saw in the move with the
attending discussions, the oppor-
tunity to handle the matter
through an association, as we'll
as the beautifying of the resting
place of the dead. The cemetery
certainly could be beautiied and
made more attractive, and kept
in the best condition all the time.
Recently considerable attention
las been shown the place and it
IS well kept, but there is opportu-
lity to beautify, and make the
2lace really attractive, and
Forth while visiting. We have
been really spoilt in this respect, |
IN having it attended to by he

over the country. In this section
the day being a Catholic holy
day, or day of obligation, was OBJ
served as is the Sunday. Most of
the business places being Catho-

was practically suspended for
they day. The usual Offices obtain
ing on Sunday, were held at ST
Joseph Catholic Church, and in
the afternoon the vespers for the
Dead, followed by exercises in
the cemetery.
st. Johns Episcopal Church al
so held services in keeping with
the custom of that creed and the
day. Both cemeteries, the Catho-
lie and the Protestant, as is al
ways the custom showed atten-
tion had been given the last rest
ing places, and flowers were in
evidence and in profusion.
Thursday was All Souls day,
and a requiem mass and service
for the dead was held at ST. Jo-
seph Catholic Church.

CALOMEL USERS
TAKE AWFUL RISK.
Very Next Dose of TreacherOus
Drug may Start Terrible
Salvation.

The next dose of calomel you
take may salivate you. It may
shock your liver or start bone ne
crosis. ~Calomel is dangerous. It
is mercury, quicksilver. 1t crash
es into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Ca
lomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti.
pated and all knocked out, just go TO
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty cs3omel and fithout MAX
ing you sick .! . ejust go back and get
your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you right up and makes you
feel fine. No salts necessary. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and can not salivate.
