The shots went wild, » and it! was then discovered the geese 1 were the tame, bam yard variety. Mr. Kennard didn’t get a chance to i shoot, and he has been congratulat- < ing himself that he didn’t. 1 ' o Creamery Pays Nice Dividend The directors of the Decorah Far mers Ice Cave Creamery Co. held a meeting last Saturday at the cream ery and declared a dividend of ten per cent to the stockholders, and a dividend has been paid each year for tho past ten years.
