Plan Building
Court House >
Basement
Commissioners Calling For Bios to
Construct Easement Building This
Summer Site Picked.

The board of county commissioners
are meeting in regular session this
week, and on Wednesday took final
action in the matter of building a
basement for courthouse building,
and are now advertising for bids to
be opened on June 7th.
If satisfactory bids are received
work on the basement will commence
soon as possible, after contract is let
so that it will be possible to move
into same some time this year.
The plan OF the commissioners is
to erect a concrete fire proof base
courthouse purpose, which is not to
cost over $4,000, and that will serve
the needs of the county for a number
of years to come. The present
building which is being rented at big
cost, is entirely inadequate. The
vault is already too small, and if a
new building is not provided, some
more money will have to be spent
building an addition to the vault.
Besides providing more conven-
lent place for all the offices, and
providing a large substantial vault
Tor safeguarding all public records
filed with the county,a and county re-
cords, the expenditure of say about
$4,000 for basement building will
be good investment, and save the
county money. At present $1260 is
being paid out annually for rent
alone, so that much at least will be
saved each year, besides heavy insur-
ance now carried Another big item
Is the fuel bill, as the present quar-
ters are anything but warm. In the
new basement the fuel bill will be
cut in half. 1t might be interesting
to know has much has been spent up
to the present, since county was
created, for rent. The total amount
is S6,345. At that rate it would seem
good business to bRitd. The elimina-
tion of fire risk is also to be consid-
cred.
The site which has been chosen for
the new building Is an ideal one, in
fact the best in town. The commits
sioners have procured all lots in
block nine, excepting the corner occu-
pied by the U. B. Church. A deal
was made with the townsite COM
pany exchanging the lots owned by
the county in block twenty, for
similar number in block nine. This
block nine adjoins the city park on
the east, and is splendid location
for the permanent building, which
will be erected on the corner opposite
the Catholic Church, facing second
avenue. This will place all public
buildings and churches on second
avenue, in the following order from
main street south: United Brethren
church, Court House, Catholic Church
Circle Public Schools, First Lutheran
Church
The size of the new. courthouse
basement will be 68x47 feet, and ar
ranged in such a way as to provide
office quarters for all the officers.
1t will be substantially built so that
in the future two more stories may
be added.
The new building contemplated,
while nothing elaborate, will serve the
counties needs for some time to come
and the board of commissioners are
to be complimented for taking the
action 1t will be mOney well SDent

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there il one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected Is because kidney trouble is &C
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is on sale at an drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.

Total Returns From Eve
Estimated at About $50

A sheep or lamb carcass has value
only once as such, and that is when
sold for slaughter. Speaking general
ly, a eve. when bred for her first
lamb, Is at the most valuable period
Of her life, II the sheep and lamb
market does not fluctuate. If worth
$40 then, she Is worth, on the average
only about 81 when discarded after
having produced, say, five lambs. Dur
Ing her useful life Of seven years she
produces seven fieeces of about eight
pounds each and worth As cents
pound at present prices. She there
fore grows wool to the value Of $500.
On the average she will raise about
four lambs during her five breeding
years, and one Of these will be re-
tanned to replace the dam, three being
sold for slaughter or fattening at 81
each, or $21 for the lambs. The eve
will sell for about 81, making $25 re-
ceived from animal sales and $500
from wool sales, or a total Of 5000.

Hand-Rearing of Orphan
FOals Is Difficult Job

With the best Of good fortune there
are always a few orphan foals to be
cared for every year, and their feed
ing is a problem to those who have
never attempted 1t on artificial food
supplies.
Hand-rearing Is not an easy task
and involves close attention to details
Naturally cows milk Is the common
substitute for the milk of the dam,
but 1t requires some slight modifica-
ton. If possible choose a COW that
has calved recently and one whose
milk is not rich in butterfat.
Dissolve about a tablespoonful of
sugar-preferably white sugar-in a
little warm water. To this add three
to five tablespoonfuls Of lime water,
and then sufficient quantity Of cows
milk to make a pint Lime water not
only serves to dilute the milk, but II
also tends to correct digestive trOu

The amount to feed Is about one
quarter to half pint at each feeding

be about one hour apart for the first
few days.

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Fitting Stock for Show
REQUIRES Careful Work

Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation Of an animal to appear at
Its best. With the meat-producing
animals, fattening Is the most Inn
portant part Of fitting, but the fat
must be firmly and evenly laid on
This holds true with breeding animals
as well as market stock. While the
breeding animal may never go directly
to the block Its value depends on Its
ultimate ability to produce meat stock.
1t cannot demonstrate this ability In
thin condition. The Judge has to
make his award on the animal as 1t
appears before him, not on what 1t
might be like If given a fair chance.
The failures of new exhibitors are
mainly due to poor fitting and show
Ing. Most judges prefer to encourage
new exhibitors where possible, and
generally regret to turn down good
possibilities for lack of condition.
Getting an animal fat enough Is
only part of the problem. Il Is a
greater problem to get 1t at its best at
just the right time. After show cattle
have reached their prime, their flesh
may get hard or too soft and blub-
berry. Sheep may be so highly fitted
that they are practically ruined for
breeding purposes. Ideal condition or
bloom" is reached when the covering
of fat is evenly distributed over the
body and is springy, but firm and
smooth. Rolls or Jumps of fat that
appear on the ribs or around the tall
head are Objectionable, but are some
times hard to avoid. Where animals
are to be carried In show condition
over fair season lasting Eve or SIX
months, they are started in compare
lively light condition, both on account
of the warm weather and the danger
of overriding them later.

BEAUTY OF GRATITUDE

No one Is really thankful who

Praise spoken by the lips IL

The young person who accepts
the invitation Of friends for some

takes one from the family circle

enough days In the year for the
ordinary good times. Save
Thanksgiving for the home folks.
The girl or boy who looks On
