the production of a higher quality
product but in order to recover the
greatest amount of fat from milk
separated. Extreme care should at
all times be exercised to avoid using,
dairy utensils whether it be pail or
can for containers for gasoline. When
this is done, there is no wa whatever
to eliminate the gasoline flavors
from the milk which causes it to be
entirely worthless as a human food.

CAR WRECKED, MAN
SERIOUSLY INJURED

Culbertson.-Frank Brennan. prom
ment farmer of near Fairview was
picked up early Monday evening from
the wreck Of his new Chrvsler I'M
per1al 80 about three miles this side
of Williston by Warren Hill of Gull
bertson and Ray Lay and Louis Prof
fit of Williston. The three Young
men were just out of Williston when
they noticed the wrecked car but did
not think that the accident was so re-
cent that anyone was in the wreck
age. Upon investigation they found
Mr.. Brennan hanging part way out
OF the door with a large cash across
the entire top of his head from which
he was bleeding profusely. He kept
repeating, II am dead" and the bows
thought he was almost right. After
considerable effort, as the accident
victim weighed over two hundred
pounds, he was extricated from the
wreck and rushed to the hospital al
Williston where, from last reports
he is expected to recover. In addition
to the cut in his head, one arm was
broken and numerous other injuries
sustained.
If Mr.. Brennan RECEIVERS he will
probably owe his life to the men pick
ing him up for it could have beer
but the matter of very short time
until he would have bled to death.
There were no eye witnesses to thu
accident but it is thought Brennan wa
driving too fast to make the turn il
the road just west of Williston. Fail
ing to make the turn he drove int
the ditch and in trying to steer tn
car back onto the grade struck
concrete culvert with such force a
to break a large piece from it. TIL
car was badly damaged.
