Notice to Light Patron*.
At a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Seymour Mill,
Elevator & Light Company, the

notify all patrons of the Light

have some understanding con-
cerning the matter on or before

Fire Marshal.

that our key rate will be reduced

not going to be a figure-head.
He is going to do some good or

in this worthy matter.

: Last fall the Scotts, deciding
thqit they must find more land
went to Alberta, Canada. They
wi ire not satisfied there and re-
re turned. On the return trip all
rejeords in the history of railroad-
ing were broken. Mrs. Scott
a id her thirteen children all rode
on one first-class passenger tick-
et. At Omaha the conductor
made a vigorous protest.
"Madan^f yfou can not carry a
whole Sunday School class with
you on that one ticket and you
need not tell me these are all
yours. You will have ts pay fare
on some of them."
"The rules of this railroad
company provide that a child
under five years of age may ride
free when accompanied by its
parents with a first-class ticket,
don'tv they?" retorted Mrs. Scott.
"They do, but you will have to
show me."
Then Mrs. Scott dug down in-
to her valise and brought out the
family Bible, in which was re-
corded the names and ages of
the children. The conductor
had to give in. The mother and
^children occupied five double
'„?ls in the homeseekers car and

Attention
Majestic Re-opens.
We are pleased to state that
the Majestic theatre is going
again, this time at its old stand
in the airdome north of Mrs. I.
Kerr's. A. J. Cooper is again
the manager and purposes to
give Seymour people a high class
entertainment throughout the
summer. The moving picture
show has become an important
factor in our national life, and it
would not do for Seymour not to
be represented in this popular
amusement.
Graham Withdraws.
Lee Graham requests that his
name be withdrawn as candidate
for the office of city marshal.
Tliis action is caused by the fact
that he could not turn loose his
present business without too
great a sacrifice. He feels very
grateful to the large number

Making Money in Dairying.
*
The man is the first essential;
no matter how favorable the con-
ditions or how good the markets,
the man must at' heart be a dairy-
man or the profits will not be
what they should. Many men
can get good returns from other
lines of farming, but fail with
the dairy cow because they are
not "made right." The right
kind of cow is indispensable.
Expert dairymen could not make
expenses from half, and could
make profits from only about one-
quarter .of the cows in the coun-
try. A good cOw must have milk-
producing feeds and milk-produ-
cing care. She cannot do her
duty on stunted rations, nor with
rations that fatten. Milk, cream
and butter must be so handled
as to be maintained pure, cool
and wholesome. The dairyman
must be a business man and mar-
ket his products where he can
get the highest net price. At
one point on the Rock Island
lines farmers received 19 cents a
pound for butter fat. At a sta-
tion less than 40 miles from the
first place, the farmers got 31
cents a pound for butter fat.
The dairyman at the first town
did not know how to find a mar-
ket.—H. M. Cottrell, Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Rock Is-
land lines.
Many Thanks.
To the good people who were so
kind and helpful to us during

Hoping that each of you may al-
ways enjoy good health and hap-
piness, we are,
Yours faithfully,
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Gaither.
