□ We noticed in the last issue of ^;
the Free Press an ordinance giv- i
uni> the Au ^usta Telephon e Com
pany an exclusive franchise.
Tiiis means no Ocompetition is
wanted and all competition is for
bid den to enter.
M. H. Patterson, the sherriff
of Woodruff county, for'^the con
venience of the people of the coup
ty, began the erection of a sys
tem of telephone for the free use
s_nd benefit of those having deal
ings with the sherriff. This some
what interfered with the 16 to 1 !
coinage mill of the Augusta lele-|
phone Company, and as a result
the town council passed the afore
said and the same. It is nolaw,
and in the very nature of things, i
never can be.
Standing on the vantage ground j
of the past, we behold the vari-:
ous appointments, buy outs and,
sell outs, of ballot boxes by the
load, repair shopto beautify Au
gusta at the expense of the peo
pie and then to complete it ah, j
prevent the people from having j
the privelege of a free line to the
shen iff's office.
Can anyone point out one hon
est, straight forward act on the j
pai t of Augusta? It they can, it
•was only done fora blind. One
honest act ou the part of Augus- j
ta would be about as becoming
as an umbrella over a mooley j
cow." The people ohall never be (
benefited uuless they pay for it.” i
is their motto. The old saying
goes, "Bvei y dog lias his day.'”
Beware, the people are slowly
opening their eyes.

WOMBS BUT TERM AKERS.
When They Pall to Prodace a Ftr»t
Clmatt Article the Fault Usually
Lies vrith the Hen.
A great many farmers’ wives are
excellent buttermakers. We have
been called upon to judge hundreds
of samples of butter made by Wiscon
sin ladies and have frequently found
that according to our judgment it
scored up about 90, often 94 and 98.
In the same exhibit, however, would
be several packages that looked very
well, but that we were obliged to
score low because deficient in sosne of
the qualities of good butter. Just a
little knowledge was lacking some
where, perhaps the one who had
charge of the feeding and milking
was to blame; the flavor might have
been ruined by bad feed or water, or
carelessness in milking in a cleanly
way. No matter how expert the wife
may be in the seience of buttermak
ing, if the husband or hired mai
brings the milk to her contaminated
with stable odors, if hairs, pieee-s of
ensilage, straw, etc., are floating on
the milk, her efforts will be in vain,
and her natural woman’s ambition to
do things well meets with a setback
when told that the butter is good
color, salted just right, groin good,
packages neat, but poor flavor. She
has done her part well and according
to rule, and the butter should be per
fect in flavor. In our attempt to
help the woman whose butter we had
found low in flavor end who looked
the disappointment she no doubt felt,
we have sought out the husband and
learned from his methods that the
trouble was at the barn end of the
business. Much has been said about
poor butter made upon the farm, and
there is truth in the statement, but
often it is not the fault of the hard
working and painstaking woman, but
can be traced directly to feed, care of
cows and method of milking. In other
words, the man is often to blame
for the reputation his wife gets as
a buttermaker. Usually, however, the
woman buttermaker becomes edu
cated in what constitute* good milk,
• and how it is produced, and demands
[ that right methods be adopted at that
^ end of the business. While the farm
may not be the best place in the
world to make good butter, it liae
been the source of mych fine butter
In the past, and will continue to be a
factor in the future. Where your
wife has charge of such work sire
would insist on having the best of fa
cilities with which to work, among
which is a good farm separator and a
good churn. She will not need a but
ter worker, as with a little practio*
butter Can be salted and worked ip
the ehurn. If she h$s the right kind
of a husband the chances are that
she will make good butter,—Wiscon

Constipation is nothing more .
; than a clogging of the bowels'
and nothing leaxthan vital stag
nation or death if not relieved.
If every constipated sufferer
could realise that ha is allowing
poisonous filth to remain in hia
system, he would soon cot relief.
Constipation invites all kind of
eon tag ion. Headaches, biliouv
no*s, colds and many other ail
Bisnte disappear whan consti
pated bowels are relieved. Thed

cleans out the bowels in an easy
