Tabulations Of cow-testing-as-
ISOLATION records made by the U
IS. Department of Agriculture
show that selection of the bull is
perhaps the most important factor
to be considered in the develop
ment of a high-producing, eco
nomical dairy herd. At the pre-
sent time ZIG purebred sires have
been proved by comparing the
records of five or more .daughters
with the records of the dams of
the daughters. A large number of
pure-bred sires have been partial
ly proved by comparing the re-
cords of one or more daughters
with the records of the dams of the
daughters. Data from these re-
cords so far tabulated show that
about one-third of the purebred
sires are lowering the production
of their daughters in comparison
with the production of the dams of
those daughters; about one-third
are raising the production slightly ;
whereas the great increases are
coming fron only about one-third.
The higher the production of the
herd the more difficult it is to
raise production through the sire
and the greater the need for using
a bull of proved ability.
The milking equipment should
be sterilized. The milk itself
should be quickly cooled to so de-
grees or below and kept cold in a
sterilized container until sold. If
you use a milking machine, you
should take special precautions to
wash and sterilize it.
Nearly 2,000,000,000 dozen
eggs are produced in this country
each year. Ninety nine per cent of
them are chicken eggs.

Code More Specific Than In
Old Statute
Township and Name

Automobile lighting require
ments in the new Minnesota traf-
fic act are more specific than in the
old law, and it may be well for
motorists to check up and see that
their lights are legal.
The new law requires every mo-
tor vehicle using the highways to
have front and rear lamps lighted
a half hour after sunset until q
half hour before sunrise ''and at
any other time when there is not
sufficient light to render clearly
discernible person on the high
way at a distance of 200 feet
ahead"
Motor vehicles other than mo-
tor cycles, road machines and farm
tractors, must have 1.-TWO head
lamps no more no less" Motor
cycles may have either one or
two. All motor vehicles and all
trailers must have a red or yellow
tail light visible 500 feet. 1t must
throw white light on the license
plate so it can be read so feet
away. CAN trailers except those
used with pleasure cars on oc-
casional trips must be licensed. }
Every motor vehicle other than
a road roller, road machine or
farm tractor, wider than 80 inches,
must carry two clearance lamps or
reflectors on the left side, one
visible from the front and one from
the rear. Bicycles must have one
front light and red or yellow
light or reflector in the rear.
The headlamps must produce
light enough to make a person dis
cernible 200 feet ahead in normal

Glaring or dazzling lights are pro-
: hibited. A lamp complies with the
law if none of the main bright por-
ton of the light beam rises higher

Still Waters, Name
Selected for Coolidge

Rapid City, S. D., June %.
"Still Waters" is the Indian
name that the Sioux Indians
will give President Coolidge
when he is made a chief of
that tribe next month, ac-
cording to word which came
from the Pine Ridge reserva-
ton today. The Indians al
ways select "a name that seems
appropriate to the man hon.
ored as a member of their
tribe. Senator Norbeck was
taken into the tribe and called
Scratching Hawk" because
he always got what he wanted
politically, the Indians said of
him.

 There are now about 2,500 fur farmers in the United States and Alaska and about 1,50O in Canada. The majority of these are raising silver or blue foxes. The total in- yestment in the business is about $3O,00O,0O0 in the United States and about 100000 in Canada. The industry is not confined to the North American Continent, how

GETS BUILDING

Much discussion has been made of the need of good gymnasium to accommodate the needs of the young people of Petersburg. Plans have been discussed as we'll as ways and means to secure such a build ing and even committees appointed to recommend proper steps for the securing of this needed adjunct to local schools. But it has been al paper talk for naught has ever come after the ferver of meeting was worn away.
 Down at Ketchikan last year a dozen young men feeling the need of hall where the decent young native could meet secured lot and made preparations to build such a building. Plans were drawn by one of the boys providing for social hall, with stage facilities and dress ing rooms, exception hall, kitchen and store room.
 The Chronicle tells the ntory of the effort of these 12 yung men as fellows:
 'In the second week of Novem- Der the work of constructing the building was started. AS all the members are employed during the day, night work was necessitated. Approximately 90 percent of the | material used was packed up the bill by the boys after a hard days 1 work.
 "The building Is nearly com pleted now, and our next move Twill be to ask the city council to \ favor us with a street extension \ from Bucey Way on Stedman street to the club.
 'The purpose of the organization
 is to aid members in all ways; to iIrovide a common gathering place tc encourage the further education
 Of their children and to help inn
 prove themselves in both social and

NORTHWESTERN
 H|IS BEACH

Enroute to the North this trip, the Alaska Steamship Company's steamer Northwestern hit the beach :n Seymour Narrows, bending her bow to one side about six feet from tclow the waterline to about two or three feet above it. Very little water was being noted in the bilge as result of the accident and the steamer is proceeding to Juneau where she will discharge freight md passengers. She will return south from that point but will take on TO passengers or freight for the the South.
 1t was reported that while pro- ceeEng north thru the Narrows at high water slack the vessel did not respond immediately to the tiller when tide rips shifted her off her course. Signals were made to the engine force for full speed reverse but the momentum of the vessel made her swing her bow inshore giving side swipe at the beach. The vessel was delayed24 hours by the accident but was not con- s:dered as being unfit to travel to the Sound under her own power. T'pon her return to Seattle she will go on the marine ways for repairs It is presumed that another boat will be put on the run in her place

MYSTERY SOLVED

Last Monday evening the deep mystery that the American Legion Auxiliary have been keeping from the Legionnaires was~solved. When the boys gathered for their regu- lar meeting in their lodge rooms, they discovered different aspect than had ever greeted their eyes before. Some of them thot they had gotten into the wrong hall, but soon discovered that the unusual appearance was due to bright cur tains and new table covering and an unusual orderliness in the li- brary and kitchen. The festive ap- pearance was timely, for the boys were initiating three candidates that evening": Bill Dunkelberger, Ed Michaelson, and Axel Pearson.
 After the regular business meet ing and the initiation ceremonies, the ladies again surprised their brother lodge members by appear ing in a body we'll laden with deli cacies to tempt the inner man..
 Theboys felt this to be a golden opportunity and proceeded to ex- Ioupd the meanings of true Legion dom and introduced the ladies to the intricate mechanism of the se- verdi mechanical devices that had so impressed the three newly in- itiated brothers with the solemn ity of the organization with which they had affiliated that evening. Fl om the peals of laughter that is- sued from the building and the lateness of the hour at whihc the party dispersed, one might judge that all had enjoyed the party.

 NEW ROBES

For many years the Army has supplied to troops in Alaska, wolf skin robes. These have been is- sued to telegraph, radio and relief stations. A decision has just been reached by the Quartermaster Corps to abandon further issue of voliskins and substitute down fll- ed comfort.
 The Army now owns 115 of the robes which are valued at $45O. each. All are badly worn and in heed of repair but still so valuable that they will be repaired and re- issued until entirely worn out.
 The down-flled comfort which will from now on be issued in their stead will cost the Army some $25. l4aking saving of $425 for each replaceemnt necessary.
 It is now the expert opinion of soldiers. trappers, prospectors and old residents, known as sour doughs," that the comfort offers more warmth and comfort in 4O-be- low-zero weather than the wolf skin
