The Gilded Fool. Fux feature at the Lyric next Monday night. A powerful appealing, dramatic photoplay and a compelling combination of love, high tlnance, and the life of the "Gay White Way" The plot deals with the progress of young Chauncy Short, a typical "Glided Fool" who spends his days in Idleness and his nights In frivolity. How he meets the "only girl" and through love of her is roused to a realization of his many short comings is a story that strikes home to the hardest heart. The climax comes when, after a fiercely fought battle of finance, the erstwhile "Gilded Fool" thwarts the contrlvings of a thieving rascal and saves his fiancee's father from ruin. Admission 20 cents. Full Value for Cream. The following paper prepared by A. W. "Bert" Reynolds is taken from The Iowa Agriculturist published at the Ames college for this month: In communities where dairying Is practiced on a large scale, where the cows are tested and the farmers are progressive generally, the price of butter fat is higher than In commun ities where little attention Is paid to the cow and her products, because the creamery making butter from the cream produced in the progressive community receives a higher price for its butter than the creamery making butter In the community where dairying is only a side Issue. The blame for the difference in price is usually laid at the door of the local creamery, but In nine out of ten cases, the fault lies in the quality of cream with which the creamery has to work. Good butter cannot be made from poor cream, regardless of the skill of the butter maker, and poor butter brings poor prices, so the fault usually traces back to the producer. In every community there are some men who are progressive in dairying, or would be if opportunity offered, but there is little Inducement for a man to clean up and produce first class cream when he receives the same price as his neighbor does for cream that should not be allowed on market. The remedy for this condition Is grading of the cream then the man who wishes to Improve the quality of his cream will have an inducement to do so, for he will receive a price which will compensate him for his extra care. Grading will also raise the general standard of the cream and butter produced in any community. The Iowa State Food and Dairy Com mission recommend the following system for the grading of c/eam: Extra.—Special grade of cream which Is sweet cream suitable for table use, and such as will not curdle in hot water, tea or coffee. First Grade.—First grade cream shall consist of cream that is clean to the taste and smell, slightly sour, containing not less than 25 per cent of fat and not over 4 per cent acid and free from lumps, curd, dirt and all other foreign matter. Second Grade.—Second grade cream is cream that is too sour to grade as first grade, or may have weedy or other undesirable flavors and odors. All other cream shall be declared Illegal. Illegal Cream.—Illegal Cream Is cream that is very old, rancid, mouldy, dirty or muddy or that is produced from an unclean separator or that is stored, handled or transported in un clean cans or that has been produced, handled, separated, stored or trans ported in violation of the a täte dairy, pure food or sanitary law: and the scale, purchase or manufacture of such cream for *ny human food purpose shall be prohibited by the statues. According to W. B. Barney, state dairy and food commissioner, In his report for 19If., the "local creamery is the greatest incentive for more and better dairying and Is a strung in fluence for permanent agriculture." This Is borne out in the case of a certain local creamery. Before the establishment of this plant the average price paid for butter fat was 22 cents after its establishment the price has averaged near 28 cents.

SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1916. UNDESIRABLE ADVERTISING. Chicago Detective Gives Milwaukee Depot a Bad Reputation in an Endeavor to Earn His Salary. J. W. Cowan, who claims to have been In the detective business twenty five years, dropped off a train here last Saturday night and was here about two hours then he went up to Sioux Falls and a reporter got hold of him and the brilliant Chicago gum shoe artist let his Imagination run away with him in his endeavor to get into print. He told of how for some time past the Chicago office of the Milwaukee road had been receiving reports that the Canton depot was being made a lover's retreat and place for clan destine meetings, which was with out any foundation whatever. What the officer saw was a bunch of 25 or 30 Canton young people waiting for the belated train to take them out to Worthing to the dance that even ing and having a good time while waiting. Employes at the depot will no doubt take his report up with the head office and find out why he should give out such a report concerning his company's property In our city. Perhaps this was his first trip to the wild and wooly west and he wanted to let his employers l.uow he really could detect rotten conditions where there were none and partly repay them for the little trip out here. KK Jh* v.- Stock Foods Failed In Test. Experiments at the South Dakota experiment station to determine the value of stock foods showed that the cost of grain in feeding pigs was great er where stock foods were used than where grain alone was used. The experiment was demonstrated with 114 pigs. At the Ottawa experiment station It was found that the cost of 100 pounds of grain was between S 1.00 and $2.00 greater when the stock foods were fed in conjunction with the grain than when the grain alone was fed. The Iowa station conducted experi ments to ascertain whether the stock foods had a beneficial influence in di gesting corn. The results showed that the stock foods did not aid in digestion, and that a bushel of corn produced as much or more pork when fed alane as when stock foods were added.—L. V. Ausman, State College. COUNTY CLEAN-UP NOTICE.

Messrs. Heg void and Anseth who have been employed by the Satrums for some time will re main as proprietors of this place of business, taking possession next Mon day and being experienced men in the business will no doubt be kept busy. Ole Satrum will remain here and do a general contracting business. Attention Hunters. This is about the right time for the "Get Em All" and "Never Miss" crow hunting teams to get together and pull off a gopher hunt which would be of great benefit to the farmers on whose farms crows were killed off. Many farmers have already told me they would contribute toward a fund to be put up In prizes if the hunt was pulled off providing they hunted on their farms. All who are Interested call at Geise & Brewster's garage or at the Canton Creamery Company's office Saturday, April 29th and register as a hunter or contributor for prizes. C. A. Heckmaster, Pres.
