The Frontier has received a letter enclosing a subscription remittance from Harry Spindler, who was for thirty-two years a resident of the northern part of this county, but who now lives at Orange Beach, Alabama. Harry says: “I often think of old Holt and the many friends I associated with for thirty-two years. I am well contented here. When I want a mess of fish or oysters my wife and I get in our motor boat and go out and get them, as I am near the gulf. I am located on Pedicola Bay.” Harry and his estimable wife, have many friends among the old-timers in this county who will be glad to learn that they are well and happy in their southern home.

Certain it is that the printer will have to increase his cost to the consumer or go out of business. Chairman Johnson and Supervisor Long, Sanders, Gardner and Parsons, of the Boyd county Board of of su pervisors, were in the city last Tuesday and met in joint session with the Holt county board.

But one adjustment is needed to keep it in perfect oper ating condition. This adjustment is a simple one for keeping the bowl at the correct height—an adjustment that you or your wife can safely make. The adjustment is made from the outside of the separator by either raising or lowering the bearing containing the hardened steel poini, upon which the spindle revolves. A slight turn with a screwdriver, perhaps once a year, does the work. The Primrose is a well-constructed, close-skimming, durable cream separator, one it will pay you well to buy.
