Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the cheese factory for
Blackfoot and the only difficulty that
seems to present itself to the farmer
is the matter of delivering the milk
to the factory each morning, in the
summer time before $50, and every
other morning in the winter. Milk
routes are being figured out so that
one carrier can collect the cans each
morning. When this matter has been
satisfactorily solved there is no ques-
tion but what plenty Of signers will
be on hand with the necessary milk.

Whether the game is worth

how he plays, what winning or

there are no bleachers, no side

DEATH RATE FROM TUBERcU.
LOSIS

Maine may find some cause for con-
graduation from the figures com.
piled from data obtained in "a of the
states relating to mortality from
tuberculosis. OF these Colorado with
a climate about which many glowing
words have been spoken and written
has the highest rate reported and
Utah the lowest. Colorado has an
alibi in the fact that many tubercular
people are attracted there for cure
but come too late and stay to enlarge
that states death rate.
While the death rates in states
having large colored population are
affected by the fact that in the dis
ease Of tuberculosis the rate ID
high among the colored people, this is
explained in some Of them by the
method of keeping the rates of white
and colored separate. From this il
appears that the rate among the
whites of some of the southern states
Is lower than in some Of the northern
states, Florida's being So to "a 10,
