The town of Primrose dedicated a beautiful new auditorium on 'iiiursday, the fifteenth of October. The cost of the building was $17,296 and the government grant amount ed to $7,236. The bond, issue was $10,000 and the election carried by a vote of 80 to 14. This fine aud itorium is to be used for public entertainment of all kinds, and be cause Primrose people are good town boosters, it is expected to in crease the population of that beau tiful town.

Farmers who are forces! to sell chickens these days are complain ing about the market. Nine cents was the average price during this week. However, tho docknge for chickens with crooked breast bones or deformed feet or legs is high, amounting to throe cents a pound. Farmers say feeding chickens at the present prices is not profitable. The same complaint comes from batlerfat, which is bringing 28 cents in most of the cream stations during the past few days. This is quite rt drop compared to thirty five cents some months ago. The cream station operators seem un ited with the farmer in complain ing over the low prices for cream. In face of the facts, the price to feed milk cows is going up rapidly. One explanation is the importation of foreign butter, vegetable fats and oils. That is having something to do with the lower price of Am erican butterfat. The imports of vegetable oil in six months of 1936 amounted to 202,107,000 pounds. At Petersburg, Mrs. Cries will celebrate her 91st birthday this year.
