First butter-Makers

Butter is one of the boons bestowed
by accident upon the world. The story
goes that, long ago, Arabs used to
carry sour milk in leather bags with
them on their journeyings across the
desert. They Travelled by camel, and
the movement of this beast is worse
than that of many ships. The result
was that the milk was converted into
butter, which was first used as To-
ton for the skin. When the demand
grew, the bags of milk were tied to
swift horses which were made to gal
lop about for some hours. Finally
came the first churn, and butter-mak
ing became an industry.-Tit-Bits Mag

Siberia, is less than a hundred miles
wide at it's broadcast point. From the
east the turbulent Okhotsk sea ticks

southwestern part, however, Is warm

the Japan sea.
Biologists maintain that the island
Is turning over like fowl on spit.
Its eastern shore is slowly emerging
from beneath the water while the
western shore sinks under the ocean.
Although the process is very slow

said that Sakhalin has already been
twice covered by the ocean and has

She curled up in the wing chair. Why

she adored him, he didn't like her any

fled county authorities the Fed

tional preparation for the sani-
tary engineers position.
Yesterday a delegation repre-
senting the county commissioners
and the county health department
conferred with Surgeon General
Cumming and requested restora-
ton of the Federal funds, stating
they would appoint a sanitary en-.
gineer who would meet all require
mentS.
It was suggested Tolson be
transferred to county milk inspec-
tor, and Norman Pennington,
milk inspector, be made county
engineer.
Mr.. Cumming promised to no.
tify the county authorities within
few days whether the change
would be agreeable.
