IT IS hard to imagine what would be the effect on dairy farming if every creamery should suddenly cease operations. Certainly ono of the results would be a rapid and serious reduction in the number of dairy cattle on our farms. The day when every farmer churned all his cream is past. We have found it much more economical nnd profitable to operate a cream separator instead of a churn and sell our cream to the neighboring creamery. To go back to the old method would be decidedly inconvenient. It would be decidedly expensive. It would entirely demoralize all our present and efhclent methods of conducting dairy farms. It would make the successful operntion of a large dairy farm Impossible unless we were willing to build and operate our own creamery at an expense which would prove too heavy for many of us. Community Laundry Essential. A community laundry is almost as ssential as a community creamery'. Why should "Blue Monday" have a place on the calendar of the farmer's wife? Why should "mother" be compelled to suffer all the hardships and Inconveniences of doing the family washing? A community laundry can do it better than she can do it. If we take into account her time and the danger to her health, a community laundry can do it cheaper. , A community laundry is as practical as a community creamery. For seven years such a laundry has been in successful operation at Chatfleld, Minn. An addition was built to the creamery at Chatfleld and a community laundry association organized with a capital stock of 5,000. The stock sold at $3 a share. The equipment cost $3,000. The only additional help needed was a superintendent, a foreman, five or six girls und a deliveryman. Send Washing With Cream. Farmers' wives send in their family washings along with their cream. It is returned along with the empty cream cans. Town work is collected and delivered in the usual way. Farmers have their family washing done for 0 cents a pound. Town people pay 10 per cent more for delivery. About 200 families patrcize the laundry each month. Fully half are farmers. The average covt of each family washing Is $1.37. The plan has worked most succear fully. It has made house work light er for the farmer's wife. It h: made farm life more pleasant. Iv has done much to keep girls on the farm. What the Chatfleld community has done other communities can do.

NOBODY TO BLAME FOR BOY'S DEATH

DR. BOND THINKS Harry Castator, 14 years old, died Thursday night at Reid hospital, the victim of an automobile accident. The boy, playing at Sixteenth and Main streets, was struck by an automobile. The machine, an electric, driven by Houston Marlatt, of the Chenoweth Auto company, passed over his body, crushing his chest and fracturing his skull. Intent upon his play, the boy did not hear the approaching car until too late, say spectators. He was rushed to the hospital, but died soon after reaching there. Marlatt reported to the police, but was exonerated by Chief Gormon and the prosecuting attorney. Coroner S. Edgar Bond said Friday morning that In his report no blame would attach to Marlatt as far as ho could tell now. It is evident that he was driving very slowly, and that he could hardly have avoided striking the boy. Coroner Bond said the cause of the boy's death was internal bleeding following the crushing of his chest. Castator is the only son of Mrs. Castator, 19 South Twenty-first street. His father died last winter during the influenza epidemic. One sister, Susan Castator is the only other member of the family. Funeral arrangements are waiting the arrival of relatives. j Circuit Court Records V.

NO POSTPONEMENT

OF LABOR MEETING (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Oct. 3 Regardless of whether additional nations ratify the peace treaty in the meantime, there will be no postponement of the international labor conference called for October 29 in Washington by President Wilson under authority conferred by the treaty. The announce ment was made today by E. H. Green wood of the department of labor who is in charge of the arrangements for the meetings. Parents With Daughters are Lucky in Spite of Supposed to be Proverb (Los Angeles Times) There is a supposed-to-be proverb in some language or other to the effect taht no man who was the father of a family of girls was ever a great man. W'e don't see what that has got to do with it. The main thing is that a man be a father, whether it be boys of girls that compose his family. But, leaving the father out of it altogether. it is certain that she is a lucky moth er whose children are all girls. And we will tell you why. When the children of a family grow up they naturally marry, and if these children are boys then the mother of the bovs is due to have daughters-in-law. So, nine times out of ten. trouble I is ahead. For, it is proverbial that women fail to get along pleasantly with their husbands' mothers. We suppose it is all based on the theory that there was never yet a house big enough for two women. But when a mother acquires a son-in-law, the husband of her daughter, then she may, as a rule, congratulate herself. For its is also proverbial that men are fond of the mothers of their wives. You see, a woman can always agree with her own daughter, because the daughter has been trained to her own ways. She can boss her own daughter around, but she can't boss another woman's daughter. And that's the point to the whole thing. We can't think of any woman so much to be envied as the woman who has, say, six son-in-law, all fighting to have her come and make her home with them.

Alfalfa: Its Value and How to Grow It II, Late Summer Seeding Best in the Corn Belt Br f. a. HOLDBN

ALFALFA, hen small, grows slowly, and Is not a good fighter, i. wcannot compete with weeds, and especially with crab grass, foxtail, and other weeds during the dry weather of July and August. When sown in the spring without a nurse crop there is a constant BtruggK with the weeds during the entire season, and the weeds generally come out best, leaving a poor, patchy stand of alfalfa. Several methods of seeding have b-vi successfully used In the humid regions of the United States. Probably no method will more certainly assure a good stand than to manure a piece of stubble ground and fall-plow it, or manure the ground in the winter or spring, disk it thoroughly as soon as possible in the spring (first
