THEM WERE THE
GOOD OLD DAYS?

An Altonna, Kansas, man was tell
ing his wife that he wished he were
living in the good old times of fifty
years ago. He kept saying, "those
were the days." He also stated that
nobody visited any more; all they
wanted to do was ride, ride, ride"
An idea struck his wife. She de-
cided she would for one evening, try
to make their home as much like it
was fifty years ago as possible. She
disconnected the electricity and plac-
ed an old coal oil lamp on their table.
She had the telephone disconnected.
A woodworking cook stove was put
in place of the gas range. She OPEN
ed the screen doors and let the flies
in. She then dressed herself as near
ly as possible in the fashion of fifty
years ago. In little while the hus-
band came in; he was Mortified. When
he started to read he pushed the cleo
trio button on the switch. but there
was no "juice." His wife lighted the
lamp for him. But that made him
angry, and he went to the phone to
call up the electric shop, but the
phone was disconnected. Then it was
time to eat. He almost died when
she told him to get some wood for
the stove. Flies covered the table.
He complained. So his wife went out
and cut limb off tree and returned
and stood over the table swishing the
flies away as hubby tried to eat. FL
nally he looked up and saw how she
was dressed and then "blew up" as
the saying goes. But she demonstrate
ed to him that he didn't know what
he was talking about.
The good old times wouldn't suit
many of us.-Chariton Herald, Chari-
ton, Iowa.

SNOW PLOW CREW is
ATTACKED-VILL
LIKES ROADS CLOSED

Snow blowing has many thrills but
a new experience was reported to the
State Highway department last week
by one of the district maintenance
superintendent in western Minneso-
ia. One of his snow blowing crews
approaching a village midway be-
tween two larger towns was met by
a crowd of about $50 business men
and other residents of the village who
bombarded the snow-plowers with
snow balls until they were forced to
turn around. The excuse given was
that if the road were opened some of
the trade would go to the larger
towns nearby.
These people apparently forgot that
all roads run two ways, and that with
proper advertising methods, it is pos
sible to bring trade into town many
times greater than the trade which
may go out of town.

GRAVE DIGGER FOUND
DEAD IN CEMETERY

John Hanson of Minneota, a grave
digger, was found dead in the tool
house of the Norwegian Lutheran
cemetery Wednesday morning. He
had been dead since last Saturday and
the body was frozen.
Mr.. Hanson, who was subject to
heart attacks, walked frequently in
the neighborhood of the cemetery, and
it is thought that he sought the shell
ter of the tool house when he felt an
other attack coming. He left his room
in town Saturday afternoon, and the
body was found Wednesday morning
by parties who went to the cemetery
to make arrangements for funeral.
Death was caused by a heart attack
and not from freezing, it was said.
Mr.. Hanson was a middle aged man
and single, but has several relatives
in the vicinity of Minnesota.-Mar-

NEW CONTEST STARTED
IN LAMB PRODUCTION

The agricultural extension service
of the University of Minnesota an
nounced this week new lamb pro-
duction contest along the same lines
as it's pork production and carload
baby beef contests. The object is to
locate the most efficient sheep rails
ers and to demonstrate the best meth
DDS of breeding, feeding, and manag-
ing flocks of sheep.
w. E. Morris, extension livestock
specialist, will be in personal charge
of the project. Cooperating with
him as members of the project COM
mittee will be J. S. Jones, secretary
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton; F. Wilson Pond of Minnea-
polls, president of the Minnesota
Sheep Breeders association, and P.
A. Anderson of the animal husbandry
staff at University Farm.
Any Minnesota sheep raiser hav-
ing 25 or more ewes lambing between
March l and May 81 may enter the
new contest. The ewes may be grades
or purebreds of any breed and must
be at least two years old when the
lambs are born. The lambs must be
sired by registered rams or by rams
that are definitely known to be pure
breds. Enrollments can be made with
county agents, club leaders, or the
extension division.
The sheep grower who produces the
largest average number of pounds of
lamb to the eve at the end of 1875
days will win the contest. Glasses are
provided for flocks of 25 to so ewes,
81 to 100, and 101 or more. The
champion flock will be selected from
the winners of the three classes. Lib
eral cash prizes will be given to at
least the top three in each class.
Feed and wool records must be fur
nished county agents by each contest
ant. These must include rations fed
the ewes from breeding to lambing
and from lambing to weaving; pas
ture used; when lambs were started
on feed, and the kind and amount of
feed used; the total weight of the
fleeces and the price received.
The committee in charge in MAX
ing the championship award will take
into consideration efficiency and man.
agement, records kept, gains made,
and the degree of success of the en-
terprise.
