He went to Tampa and the second day hired out to one of thtf dairy men near that city.

He likes the Job, but feels a littie out of place because the proprietor and his family talk Spanish among themselves, but of course can talk English to him. His salary, not large, but is five dollars week, including board, and washing. He does not work all the time so it is not bad at that. We know of a young man in Estherville, who worked on a farm last summer, during harvest time, early and late, and milked six cows, for the same amount. He considered that a good job and was glad to get it We hope Claire will continue to like the job he accepted.

It will enable him to absorb a lot of Florida atmosphere, see considerable of the wesit' coast and earn some money besides.

Judge Faville presented John Corey, 86, of Speticer as the oldest member of the district association eulogizing him in the short introductory speech.

Mr Corey responded briefly. Congressman Fredi Gilchrist was present and thanked the attorneys for their co-operation with him in helping put across legislation bene ficial to Iowa and the district. J. Lowe and E. Liman of Algona were named president and' vice president respectively and G.

There are 0,000 employed with a total pay roll of 91,000,000 a month. It is a disgrace and a curse. It requires a lot of the automobile and gas tax to meet the extravagance and to keep the wheels going round and round.
