“Tell you how it was,” said the land¬ 
lord of the tavern at Polkville. “He said 
he was from Ypsilanti, Michigan (spelled 
it out for ’em) and they just nacherly 
took and rid hint out of town on a rail.” 
“But, great guns! what occasion was there 
for treating him so?” asked the tourist in 
surprise. “Why—” “Aw, you see, they 
didn’t believe no such a dad-dogged word 
as that was the name of any place on earth 
—they just ’lowed it was sort of an Ana¬ 
nias. They didn’t like a stranger to start 
in a-lvin’ so early in the game.”—Chicago

Buvers Demand Cooled Milk 
Creameries, condenseries, and wholesale milk buyers in general require producers 
to cool and aerate the milk. Champion Milk Cooler removes animal beat and stable 
odors, prevents quick souring and saves ice. If you sell direct to consumers, they want 
milk that keeps, and butter tree from taint, so you need a Champion Cooler to hold 
their trade. Write to-day for valuable free booklet, "Milk and Its Care,” and catalog 
of dairy apparatus. CHAMPION MILK COOLER CO., 9 Squires St., Cortland, N. Y.
