This time it makes me air family

David Nelson Peery. thought he
could swim; probably the coach
thought so;too, for he encouraged his

told me that if ever got irr:deep, wa
ter he would pull me out, as if the
lad knew What deep water is.
Howevet, we, encouraged him, and
everything went swell until the little
fellow went with the team to practice
in the Y.sM. c. A. :.

Plan PWA
Grant For
Blacktopping
Project Includes
Approximately so
Blocks of Work
BOND ISSUE
Entire Cost To Be
Assessed Against
Auditing Property

Members of the City Council in
session Thursday evening of last
week, laid plans preparatory for
making an application for a PWA
grant under which fifty blocks of
blacktopping are to be done in the
city next year. This application
must be made out before Septem-
Der Both, and efforts are now being
made to rush the request for funds
to completion as soon as possible.
Under the plan now proposed by
the Council the project will not
cost the City one cent, as grading
and shaping the streets as well as
the intersections will be added in
the cost for next year, and all will
be assessed against the property
benefited.
This project will entail a cost of
approximately $4,000, of which
about $4,000 will be the PWA
grant, with $4,000 furnished by the
city, all, as said before, to be col
lected from property abutting the
work to be done.
This year the city has assessed
only the work of blacktopping
against the property, and the inter
sections and grading and shaping
of streets will be paid by the city.
Hence, it will cost those who wish
blacktopping for next year approx
mately the same as those who have
had it done this year.
Under this plan it will be neces-
sary to hold bond election, as all
of the money must be in the city
Golfers before PWA monies can be
received. One of the councilmen
stated to a Herald representative
that it is possible that the interest
Of bonds may also be added to the
project and that the city then would
have no money invested in the work
at all. This plan, at the present
time, is merely in the making, and
guarantee of its successful culmina-
ton cannot be made. Further de-
tails of the plan will be published
in the Herald from time to time.

Final Details of Blue Valley
Purchase Completed Saturday

the plant at Clinton, Illinois.
Reason for Blue Valleys selling,
Mr.. Easton pointed out, was not
'1oss Of volume" According to
plant records August of this year
gave them volume increase Of 80
percent over year ago, and 40 per-
cent over the same month for 1886.
From 1926 until the drouth years,
were the biggest years in their loo
al history when they crowded the
million pound manufacturing brac-
ket.
Too great disparity in sectional
prices of butterfat was cited by Mr..
Easton as the reason for selling.
Their plants in Kansas can buy
butterfat for % cents; while in this
locality the prices hovers to 27c.
On the market for the finished pro-
duct the difference in the two is less
than a cent. While Kansas butter
is inferior in quality to Minnesota,
he pointed out the south held more
favorable conditions for the COM
pany.
Blue Valley moved into this terri
tory in 1923, set about building up
a cream buying and butter manu-
featuring business. The building,
housing the plant from the first,
was erected in the fall Of 1922 at a
cost Of $4,000. They relinquished
the plant for a purchase price Of
e1Q nm Tn 1904 an ,Inper story and
a wing were added to the original
building.
Two years ago they invaded an
other field, opening a market for
whole milk sale. Adding equipment
for the manufacture Of cheese and
casein, the plant was producing at
one time as high as 10000 pounds
Of cheese weekly. Cheese and case
in were alternately manufactured,
until the market broke" this year,
Mr.. Easton said.
