The Des Moines Capital has the
following to say about Gov ]. A. o.
Preus, of Minnesota, who spoke at
the Iowa State Fair:
Gov. j. A. o. Preus, thirty-nine
years of age, built Ike a college foot
ball star, knew his audience as well
as his subject when he appeared as
the leading speaker on the Farm
Bureas program at the Iowa State
Fair. He knew his audience because
he lived in Iowa several years, was
graduated from Luther College al
Decorah, and married an Iowa girl,
Idella Louise Haugen, of Decorah.
He knew his audience also be-
cause he was talking to farmers and
he was born on a farm, his birth
place being in Columbia county Wis
consin. He has had a long school
ing in politics, having served as sec
retary to Senator Knute Nelson,
governors secretary, state insurance
commissioner, state auditor and now
governor
His message to Iowa farmers was
to continue in their work of
organizing and perfecting co-opera-
tive marketing association, citing the
success Of Wisconsin and Minnesota
farmers with cooperative creameries,
with a cooperative live stock selling
organization which sells 65 per
cent of the Minnesota live stock. A
potato selling association, with which
120 local potato organizations are
affiliated, is marketing the Mime
sofa potato crop in the highest mar
kets. A representative of that as
sociation, he said, is now on a trip
visiting eastern cities, including De-
troit, Cleveland and New York City,
and finding out why Minnesota po-
totoes do not find market in those
cities.
He told the Iowa farmers that they
mad not KePSS7pace with Minnesota
in this cooperative movement and
that they were losing money in not
doing so.-Des Moines Daily Capital.

Taken to Knoxville Insane


Joe Wentholt, an ex service man,
living north of Cresco, was brought
here last Thursday to take the train
for the sanitarium at Knoxville.
He was in a private hospital at Du-
buque last winter and was removed
TO Knoxville from which place he was
paroled apparently much improved.
Since then he had been with his par
cnts on the farm north of Cresco.
Last week he was at work fixing a
gasoline engine and signs of irrita-
aion were noticed by his father, who
suggested taking the engine to town
TO have It repaired, whereupon Wend-
holt flew into an insane passion and
attacked his father with an ak. With
the assistance of his mother, the
young man was overpowered and the
sheriff notified.
He was in charge of H. A. Teslow,
adjutant of the Cresco Post of the
Eegion and Hugh Malone, another
Legion man.
Wentholt opposed going to Knox
Vile and the only way he woud con-
sent 70 go with the deputies was by
giving him to understand that he
was being taken Off for medical eX-
animation.

Daniel Webster Best Compliment

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts, is an ardent admirer
of Daniel Webster, and tells many
interesting stories about that FAM
Gus statesman, His favorite story
is about the finest compliment Web
ster ever received. He says that
Webster had just won an important
case for a Maine farmer, and as they
were leaving the courthouse, the
farmer proudly and gratefully gave
Daniel a resounding slap on the back
saying, "Dan, you're a hoss."

Perhaps the oldest Irish regiment 70
have continuous history is tn
Eighteenth Regiment of Foot, raised
as Lord Forbes regiment, and brought
to England by James ii in 1858, when
the monarch began 10 collect Irish
troops about him. Upon its colors it
bears the harp of Ireland with the
motto: "Virtutis Namuriensis Prae

Namur." This honor was won in 1875
at Namur, when that regiment won
also the title of THE Royal Irish Regi-

CREAM SCORING
IN PLEASANT
Sixth Scoring of Cream Made at the
Pleasant Creamery in Canoe
By County Agent and
J. j. Drummer.
BIG FOUR cow
TESTING ASSOCIATION
This Association Includes Cows in
Winneshiek, Allamakee, Fayette
and Clayton Counties.

On August 25th the County Agent
and ]. J. Brunner of the Iowa State
College Extension Service visited the
Pleasant Creamery at Canoe to make
the 9th scoring of cream. This was
to have been the last scoring, but
due to the fact that extremely hot
weather kept the scores from being
as good as they might have been,
we have made arrangements to give
Pleasant Creamery patrons two more
scorings.
In spite Of the extremely hot wea-
ther, one patron had a score Of so,
another Of go, while eight patrons
had a score below 20.
The following letter from J. J..
Brunner is being sent to all patrons
of the creamery together with the
scoring of their cream and remarks
as to the exact condition the cream
was received in.
To the Patrons of the Pleasant
Creamery:
Only nine per cent of the cream
delivered at your plant was sweet
at this scoring--and sixty FIVE per
cent was very sour. All of this sour
cream had some kind Of a bad flavor,
a great many lots were metallic. This
favor IS due to unclean hand separ-
arors more than any other one thing
and is very injurious to the keeping
quality of the butter. Therefore, il
is to your own best interests 10 see
that everything is kept perfectly
clean and the cream well cooled so
that you may receive a higher price
for your butterfat.
A great many lots were also too
thin, they had some sour milk in
the bottom of the cans which helps
, to spoil the flavor of the cream. Skim
cream testing from 80 to 80 per
cent butterfat-this makes good
cream to handle on the farm and at
the creamery. 1t will possess bet
ter keeping quality and your butter
maker will be able to make you more
money. If ySu do n4 give him good
cream how can you expect him to
make fancy butter? 1t cannot be
done.
Do not wait for your neighbor to
start sending good sweet cream first
If you do it will never be done and
you VIII continue to have less money
than you should have.
Your truly,
J. J. Drummer.
