kiddieS Enjoy Biz Cake

The big three-layer pyramid cake,
measuring 9N17xS, given away by the
Schad Purity Bakery at their open
ing last Saturday to the person
guessing the nearest correct weight
OF the cake, was awarded to Mrs. w.
w. Downie, who gave the weight as
twelve and three-quarter pounds,
which proved to be the exact figure
when the cake was put on the scales.
The guesses on the weight, number
ing some 235, ran all the way from
five to fifty pounds. The success in
guessing of the lady who took the
cake, is accounted for by the fact
that the writer has kept her pretty
busy guessing for the past forty years
Just how to make both ends meet on
the annual income and declare a divi-
dend at the close of the year or in
other words to make sealskin show
ing on a muskrat salary, and from
this experience she has learned to be
mighty good guesscr on almost anv
proposition.
AS we have never had any desire
to be a "cake eater" the problem Of
just what we could TO with this over
supply of cake was solved by turning
1t over next day to the kiddies of the
Methodist Sunday school at the MORN
ing session, and they made a splendid
success in disposing of it and "put-
ting it where it would do the most
good"

Montsvideo Girl in Cell. Repents
Shooting of Indifferent Lover

Montevideo, Mimi, April 22-"Mor-

Salisbury gave today for shooting and
probably fatally wounding Oscar
Erickson late yesterday.
In a hysteria of fright and grief
Miss Salisbury broke down in her cell.
ooh, | hope he lives" she moaned.

tell me he will live"
She would tell no details of her af-
fair with Erickson.
Miss Salibury was a stenOgrapher
in the division Offices Of the st. Paul
road She had professed to love Erick
son, accountant.
Yesterday when all other employees
had left the Office she called Erick-
son. AS he stood with his back to ner
she fired three shots. She sat calm
ly at her desk until officers arrived.
Erickson was sinking rapidly at
noon today and not expected to live.

SOLVES PROBLEM OF
KEEPING BOYS ON farm

The Ortonvi!le Journal of last week
had a very interesting article on
show to keep the boys ON the farm, :"
giving the experience of John Nc
Collum practical farmer of Big
Stone county, who had family Of
four boys and four girls, and who
formed and incorporated joint stock
company consisting of the several
members of the family, thirteen years
ago and divided the shares among the
members of the family, keeping a one
third himself. The finn has 1900 acres
Of land and fine lot of horses, hogs
and cattle, each partner looking after
particular department of the work
and given entire control therein. The
writer in closing the article says:
Oh yes, | know not every one has
1900 acres and eight loya! children
Well, not all acres have had such
managem ent as those 1,SOO, or all
children SO wise dad as those eight.
Of the two the latter is the most i'm
roItan. and his scheme should, in a
measure at least, adapt itself to
scale.
1T is something every father must
work out for himself" says Mr.. Nc
Callum, "but | have had no trouble
in keeping my boys interested in the
farm. Boys like to do things for
themselves. That's right. They don't
want to keep on following the leader
indefinitely
There is much difference between
being business partner and a farm
hand. The father who can arrange
to be his sons partner during the boys
develorement into the Independent
somebody he hopes to be has been
given rare opportunity And signif-
icantly- the day Of boys colt, old
mans horse, is past"

DdCiSion on Ballot Law

Pierre. April 23-Attorney Gener-
al PAYNE holds that the law of the
last legislature which attempts to
retain the voting right of an elector
in precinct for thirty days after his
removal from the same is in direct
violation of section one of article VII
of the state constitution, and that
when the legislature has attempted to
change the ballot laws of the state
they were getting entirely outside of
their rights and that the law cannot

Support Your Creamery

Elsewhere in this issue is an ad-
vertisment Of the Grant County
creamery asking the patronage of the
cream producers in this locality. The
creamery is an institution that should
have the backing of every farmer in
the community. The sensible people
OF the state realize that a system of
farming in which grain growing is
the main source of revenue is fail
ure. and must of necessity keep the
farmer in Strengthened circumstances.
There are too many uncertainties
coming in between the sowing and
marketing of crop of grain to per-
nit OF any certain profit in this kind
Of farming, and the experience of in
dividual communities all over the
northwest has proven that the cream
cry and hog raising in connection is
one Of the surest aids to make the
farm a profitable investment. Wher-
ever you finda community with we'll
patronized creamery you will find
prosperous people, and farmers who
are paying their debts and making
AAOSsSyt ! uC COW duO IIIC creamery
are two of the best signs of pros
perity, and the farming community
that lets its creamery stand idle is
pretty sure to be hardup community.
The cream business is now SO
thoroughly established and the ratio
Of prices Of hutter and butterfat SO
well known that the farmer can cas-
lily learn whether he is receiving fair
treatment at his creamery. If he is
not getting this he should demand it
of his buttermaker, but if he is 1et-
ting it no temporary raise Of price
from shipping buyers or outside con
Germs should tempt him to desert his
home creamery, for when the local
creamery is wrecked his best stabil;zer
Of prices will have been put out Of
commission, and he will be at the
mercy of outside concerns. This has
been the experience of communities
where like conditions have been brot
about. The farmers Of the community
should make it their business to see
that their creamery has liberal shp-
port by giving it their united pat
rCnage.
