A number of neighbors were at
the C. H. DeVaney home Saturday

wrong with the cards.
We are informed our county sur

Bart was using a big shovel on the
snow banks so he could get a good
view as to the condition of the pike.
Mrs. A. L. H~omrighaus is visiting
with Mrs. C. H. DeVaney for a few

Oh, yes, White Butte, your dog
life insurance agent was up this way
a few days ago and informed us that
you had eaten so many cotton tails
and Jack rabbits this winter that
every time the dog barked you would
run under the porch. What you
needed was bacon not dog life insur-
ance.
Quite a few of the neighbors of
this community were in looking for
S day bargains Saturday.
Miss Elsie Loeppke took Sunday

The intense cold of the last week
caused a great deal of anxiety and
extra work with water pipes. Roar
ing fires did not seem to make much
impression on the temperature in
doors for a few days. We are all
glad for milder weather this week
and hope that King Winter has done
his worst.
Word came this morning of the
passing away of one of our boys,
Sherman B~igleggins, at his home be-
yond Oswego. His illness began with
bronchial pneumonia 500 after
Thanksgiving, when he was under
DR.. DeWane's care at the school I'M
til after Christmas, when they took
him home. He was never able to sit
up in bed and has suffered a great
deal all the time. His funeral will
be Wednesday. Much sympathy is
extended to his father, mother and
sister. The latter has been home
helping nurse him all the time and
just came back to school Thursday
evening but had to go Saturday morn
ing.
Our picture programs are proving
very satisfactory to everyone. The
machine is a good one. Saturday
evening we had a health picture.
The Mission Study class will meet
Tuesday, the 9th, at 2:30 p. M, at
the Mission. The subject is Korea.
We hope the elements will not inter
fer as thy did last time.

The Robin folks were recently in
receipt of some very bad news telling
of the sorrowful accident which befell
the Bibbs family, residing near Pine
City, Mimi. -Four children were
burned to death when their home
caught on fire and burned to the
ground during a severe blizzard one
night. Mrs. Gibbs, who is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robin of Wolf Point
was only able to save herself and the
youngest child by jumping with it
from a second story window to the
ground, where she was found by a
neal neighbor who happened to see
the flames and came to the rescue.
She was taken to his place where
she was in a critical condition when
last heard from. Mr.. Gibbs was not
at home at the time the terrible event
occurred.

LABUCO TWINS BORN
IN INSTALLM ENTS,
PHYSICIAN REPORTS

The birth Of twins, triplets, and
even of bankruptcies has often
been recorded in the annals of
medical science by Birmingham
obstetricians. but they have been
completely stumped by the re-
cent birth of twins on the INSTALL
ment plan, with a lapse of seven
days between the birth of the
first and the second child.
Such was the case in the birth
of girl twins to Mr.. and Mrs.
John Galloway, Labuco, Ala, and
which is said to be without par
allel in the history of the Bir-
mingham health department by
George Truss, statistician. The
first of the twins was born March
3. while the second first saw the
light of day March 16. Only one
of the children lived. however, as
the birthday of the second twin
became the death anniversary of
the first, death being the result
of congenttal debility, according
to report furnished the health
department by DIR. B. e. Donald
son. attending physician.
The second child is hale, hearty.
healthy and happy and weighs
six and one-half pounds. I was
recorded that the mother was In
apparent good health during the
interim between the birth of the
first and second of the twins.

bowling Declares Milk Con-
troll Work Cut IS Per
Cent

Milk control work among the Bir-
mingham daries has been cut rs per
cent, passing the milk ordinance
back to the point of no control, and
practically all OF the work done by
the department has been undone. ac-
cording to DR.. J. D. Bowling, health
officer. In the meantime. no settle-
ment of the controversy over auto
mobiles used by milk inspectors has
been reached by D. E. McLendon,
president of the city commission, and
Mrs. Mary Echols. commissioner of
health and education.
The city automobiles now have to
be placed in the municipal garage at
the close of each working day, by an
order recently issued by Mr.. MeLen-
don No department was exempted
from the order. 1t has worked a.
hardship on milk inspectors, who
gather their samples during the early
morning hours whom dairymen are
making deliveries. according to DR..
Bowling.
President McLendon announced
last week that he would offer a
proposition to the inspectors to buy
their own cars. tho city paying for
their maintenance at the basic rate
of $50 a month. Reports from several
of the inspectors Saturday Indicated,
however. that nothing had been done
along this line. 1t was also pointed
ont that in case Mr.. McLendon should
carry out his proposition. his offer
of a basic maintenance rate of $50
month would be insufficient on
account of the fact that tabulate'
figures on operation costs place the
minimum at S66.S2
The milk inspectors, however, arc
reported to be in favor of the plan
W nch Will allow them maintenance
49, aeesee of S66.S2 per month. and
the project also is said to have the
s.spFoft Of Commissioner Echols.
Meanwhile no milk scores will be
published, owing to the inability or
inspectors to obtain samples from
dairymen during the early morning
runs.
II was rumored that the board OF
health guaranteed tho city commits
sion at the end of the fiscal year In
1922 that it could operate its IA cars
on a self-ownership basis for the
same amount as expended by the
commission on the operation of 10
cars during the year. No answer was
made To the proposal. 1t was said.
