MEAT RING DIRECTORS
MAKE PROPOSALS

Directors meeting for all directors
of the different Askov meat rings was
held at the Chris. Frederiksen home
on Nov. 81. Chris Frederiksen was
elected chairman and c. Flint secre-
tary of the meeting.
1t was moved and carried to pro-
pose a charge of cents per pound
for grass fed cattle, and 1Oc per pound
for grain fed. The reason these prices
were suggested is because hay and
grains are so high that it was thought
worth it to get good meat. A motion
was made and carried to limit the
amount of meat to each family to IL
pounds and if member wants more
than IL pounds, then he shall butcher
twice and have two numbers. Motion
made and carried to have a chart for
each member, showing how the beef
is divided up into cuts and each cut
numbered. Each member can then
see if he gets the right cut according
to his number and he will then know
what cut he is to get each week.
Motion made and carried that all
members in all meat rings pay each
25e to go to a sinking fund, said fund
to be used where the butcher has
accepted an animal for butchering
and it is then found to be infected
with some kind of disease and con-
demned. Then the owner is to be
paid for the animal according to the
price of beef he is furnishing wheth-
er it be &c or 10c per pound. Motion
made and carried that all cattle to- be
butchered before and up to July 18th
must be grain fed and cattle butch
cred after July 18th grass fed.
The presidents of all meat rings
combined shall constitute the board
that shall be in session when an ami

MCGRAW IN HARD BATTLE
Nebraska Battler BY Sensational
Finish Gets Decision Over
Detroit Greek.

New York. Aug. IS up - "Ace"
Hudkins, clawing wildcat from Ne
braska, stands out today in the
front ranks of challengers for the
crown Of Sammy Mandell, light
weight champion.
In vicious, bruising 15-round
bout at the Coney Island stadium
last night Hudkins demonstrated
his superiority over Phil McGraw.
Detroit Greek, although one of the
widest demonstrations ever seen in
New York protested the decision u
the end of the melee. AS the crowd
billed toward the ringside, police
men were forced to drive through
the mob to protect those close to
the battlers.
Hudkins gained the award
through his hurricane attack in the
closing round Growing stronger as
the fight progressed, the wildcat"
hammered both hands viciously to
McGraw's body and had him groggy
in the final rounds. McGraw. who
led up to the tenth, was badly cut
about the eyes and mouth at the
finish. Hudkins weighed 1856, "a
pounds more than his rival.
The attempted comeback of John
ny Wilson, former middleweight
champion. received a severe jolt
when Make Rosenbloom, Harlem

America. He did some of his most
important scientific work in this
country, Dr. Smith points out. This
included the discovery of carbon
monoxide, which explained the ma
ture of flame. He also was the in
ventor of soda water.
Priestley Preacher
In the light of these scientific
achievements" DR.. Smith said, at
may be a surprise to many to learn
that Priestley was primarily not a
chemist at all, but a teacher, a
preacher and political agitator.
The truth is that Priestley's atten-
ton was only turned to chemistry
when he was in the thirties by
Matthew Turner, who lectured on
this subject in Warrington academy
in which Priestley labored as a
teacher"
Priestley's views on theology were
bitterly denounced in England and

which he was wont to officiate and
his own home together with his
literary treasures and scientific ap-

was officially welcomed by governor
