The farmers of thin neighborhood
have organized a stock company to
put in an alfalfa mill. All stock has
been sold and a charter has been ap-
plied for. The capital stock will be
$10,000 and the capacity of the mill will
be thirty tons per day Permanent of-
ficers will be elected Saturday the 27th.
An order nas already been placed for

You can see from the above article
that the citizens in and around the
youngest town in the county has a set
of live wires and believe in doing some-
thing to upbuild their community. If
the citizens of Elmer community would
get together we could have an institu-
tion like this, besides an ice plant,
electric lights and waterworks. Why
linger so long on these important mat-
ters of town building.

OWL HOUSES WITHOUT LIMING
Eldorado should have a push club or
some kind of a club to work up a bet-
ter interest for the town. No wonder
some are kicking ;hat other towns are
getting the trade, in this line, a better
facility in advertising is needed to
draw trade this way.—Eldorado Demo-
crat.
Eldorado is not by herself in needing
a push club or some kind of a club for
the upbuilding and betterment of her
possibilities. It has been given up that
Elmer is located in the best country to
be found in this grand .new state or
any other state, but has not but a few
good pushers, but could have more if
the citizens would only get together,
pull together and work together har-
moniously. And if we ever amount to
much commercially, and otherwise,
such getting together will have to take
place among her citizens.
One Peculiarity of Bird That Looka
to Be the Wisest of the Feath-
ered Tribe.
Owls' hoiisoH are for tho most part
quite without lining. Whether from
d"Nisn or pure laziness, the bones and
skulls of small animals which they
have killed are left scattered about
the floor. Grewsome playthings for
the owl children! Hut one can scarce-
ly Imagine even a baby owl being
anything but wise and dignified. It is
easier to picture them apparently
gravely musing on these skulls like
monks in their dark cells.
Since so many- of the owls have
their homes in hollow trees, we might
expect some of their near relatives,
the hawks, to be inclined to Jive in
the same way. One of them, the !it-
the sparrow hawk, does nest in the
flicker's abandoned home and in com-
fortable knot holes. Once I found him
quartered snugly in a branch which
had decayed at the end where part
Lad been broken off. This bird, too,
Is satisfied with perfectly bare walls
and floor, though the floor consists of
small chips left by the decaying wood
or by some woodpecker.—St. Nicholas
Magazine.

"There should be rio hesitation In
demanding fair treatment at every
point. Favor is for the few, but we
all have a right to expect the full
value of the money we spend. When
we are not receiving it we should pro-
test in unmistakable fashion. We need
not lose temper, for there are mild
methods of conveying, unmistakably,
displeasure and determination to mend
matters. I have not forgotten the les-
son I learned at a butcher's stall
early in my housekeeping career.
"I was searching for beef to roast
when the salesman, who was bringing
a niece for insception, was stopped by
a fellow-workman, who demanded the
piece of meat for a customer whom he
described as fussy as the dicken3.
That was the only piece in the place
which he dar''d to send out to his
fussy patron—it was the only one I
would take, then—but as possession
is nine points of the law, I won. Inci-
dentally, I enrolled myself in the fiftsy
class, and was alw ays treated well"
