Bees Delare War on Flock
of Geese; Thirty Die

ASHLAND Enraged from some
unknown cause, bees, kept on the
Claude Mol farm just south of Ash
land, stung to death more than thirty
expensive Toulouse geese.
Mrs. Moll, noticing one of the geese
staggering around, found that the bird
was rapidly going blind and strangl-
ing to death because of numerous
stings about the head where no feath-
ers offered protection.
Some time later, after having killed
this goose, Mrs. Moll went out to the
goose yard where the same thing was
happening to all the other geese. Each
goose had been stung many times.
The entire flock was rapidly going
blind and choking to death because of
the swelling.
Mr.. Moll a widely known bee ex-
pert, was unable to offer any explana-
ton of the occurrence. He suggested
however, that one of the bees may
have stung one of the geese accident
ally.
The sting leaves a poison scent
which would attract other bees. Think
ing the geese were enemies. the bees,
at the expense Of their own lives,
would sting every goose within sight.

and gains an easier foot hold where
fresh air is not provided in abundance.
A dry barnyard and the removal of the
manure some distance from the barn
will aid greatly in reducing the num-
Der of flies which, in the summer, an
noy the COWS and the mixers
The value of pure water, abundant
sunlight, and careful feeding cannot
be over-emphasized according to the
specialists. The matter of clean milk
ing and clean utensils are intimately
associated, for great numbers of bac-
terra may be introduced into milk
from the bodies of the COWS and from
unsterilized utensils. Quick cooling of
milk to lower temperatures prevents
bacterial growth and aids in the pro-
duction of better milk which will keep
longer and make finer dairy products
Prompt Delivery Necessary.
After the milk has been produced
under conditions which are as near
ideal as possible it is important that it
be delivered promptly to careful GUS
toners. Milk should ge kept in cold
water until it is loaded onto the wa
gon to go to the station or receiving
plant.

Visitor Admires City Hall;
Gets Copies of Plans

H. w. Druen, Chillicothe, Mo-, was
in the city early in the week for his
annual visit with his mother, Mrs.
Irene Ward He dropped into city hall
on Wednesday to see if he might get
copies of plans of that building to
carry home with him.
1t SO happened that the city hall of
Chillicothe burned recently and a
movement is on there to incorporate
features in a proposed new building
something like those successfully in
use in Lancaster. Mr.. Druen said his
home city has population of 1000,
but that it has not place for public
meetings.. He was much pleased with
the Grantland.
A week ago last Sunday there was
a reunion of the Druens in Riverside
park, Cassville, in which his venerable
uncle, John Druen, was the guest of
honor.
1t was largely attended by those of
the kin, but there were few present of
the name He was son of the late
William Druen, who lived out west of
the Hurricane, where H. w. was born.
In an early day the Druens had a
Touring mill on Platte river, one of the
first to be built in this county Now
John Druen is the only one of the
name left here, or in this section.

Contrary to somewhat common
belief, it does not require expensive
equipment, high priced cows, or much
extra work to produce clean milk.
With a healthy herd, kept in clean
stable and yard which can be kept
clean easily, and with careful atten-
ton being given to details a milk can
be produced, according to E. H. Far
rington and L. c. Thompson, dairy
specialists at the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture, which is both highly nu-
tritious and wholesome.
Since the reputation of many farm
and factory is based on the purity
of its products it is quite important
that all of the aids to clean milk pro-
duction be known The first consider
alton, the experts points out is that
of a clean herd Good milk can not
be produced from diseased cows. A
clean stable also aids immensely in
the production Of clean milk.
Must Exercise Care,
Good ventilation is also an import
ant factor. 1t is quite important that
animals secure plenty of pure fresh
air since tuberculosis spreads faster

FARMERS MAY
PULL OUT or
SCHOOL DIST.
But Law Provides They
Must Organize Anew
Effect on City.

Under the terms of Senate Bill No.
532 S., farmers residing in CONSOLE
dated high school district may separ-
ate themselves from such district af-
ter following due legal procedure. If
they proceed properly there is no way
for the remaining taxpayers to hold
them. But the law also provides that
those withdrawing from a district are
compelled to organize a district of
their own.
Lose 0ne-Sixth Valuation.
Should the farmers residing in
parts of North and South Lancaster
township, now located in IT. District
No 8, which includes the city Of Lam
caster, conclude to withdraw from
the district they would pull $646,122
valuation from the joint district.
The North Lancaster valuation is
S188,116. The South Lancaster valua
ton $458,006. The valuation of Lam
caster city proper is $3,079,603.
Would Pay Tuition.
This withdrawal amounts to about
a sixth of the valuation and would
throw a sixth Of the tax back on the
city proper In this case Lancaster
would pay it's school tax entirely, eX-
cept for the bond issue which is al
ready fixed and not subject to with
drawal. Outside pupils coming in
from the districts named, would pay
tuition.
Roughly, a Lancaster valuation OF
$3,000,000 would be carrying about S5,-
900 more tax.

1nclu0eQ IN the purchase PRICE
These profits are part of the production cost of
the car-the same as the steel and wood of the
body. They do not buy materials nor workmanship
they do not make any car one whit better.
Studebak1r has achieved one-profit manufacture
through years of tar-sighted management and
through sacrifice on the part of stockholders. Earn
ings which might have been distributed have been
retained in the business to build ore Of the largest
gray iron foundries in the world erect stamping
mills forges etc., to purchase the finest labor
saving machinery, to construct enormous body
building plants.
AS a result resources totang one hundred mil
lion dollars are concentrated upon the production
of one-proft automobiles such as this Standard
Six Coach.
What does it mean to you?
To you, as an automobile buyer, this means:
/. A Lower Price.
2. A Better Car.
A LOWER PRICE, because Studebaker does
not need pile its profit upon the profits of out
side parts manufacturers and body builders.
BETTER CAR, because it is thoroughly CO.
