Local Committee Makes Preliminary
Arrangements for Reception of the
Nations Chief Executive on Septem.

Three addresses will be made in this
city by President Roosevelt if the
plans made yesterday afternoon are
carried out The arrangements call
for meeting at the Grand Opera
house, where the President will make
an address, second meeting at the
Market street theater, and an open
meeting in the city park. The nations
executive will address all three gath
erings, and thus everyone may have an
opportunity of hearing President
Roosevelt talk. The meetings will be
strictly non-partisan and the commit
tee appointed yesterday to have charge
of the arrangements for the Presi
dents reception was selected
with this end in view.
Committee Meets.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon at the city hall to appoint com
mittee to arrange for the reception of
the presidential party, and at this
meeting the program for the occasion
was outlined, which will be carried
out as arranged unless some unf3r-
seen circumstance arises. The COM
mittee will take charge of the arrange
ments for the event. 1t is the inten-
ton to make an effort to have ths
merchants illuminate their stores
while the President is in the city. The
following compose the committee:
Calvin Manning, chairman; Hon. T. H
Picker, Senator S. H. Harper, W. A..
McIntire, o. L. Campbell and G.. f.
Heindei.
Three Meetings.
Manaer F. NJ Fritz of the Grand
opera house and Manager j. ]. Jersey,
of the New Market street theater, do
mated the use of their houses to the

throngs of people which will be in the
city on that evening may be accommo-
dated, and be given a chance to listen
to the addresses The first meeting
will be held at the Grand. Immediately
upon the arrival of the President, and
while this address is being made those
who are unable to gain an entrance
can find seats at the Market street
theater, which will then be visited and
a second address made.
II the weather permits the city pari
will then be utilized cd an open meet
ing will then be held, when, those who
were unable to hear the former talks
| will then be given their turn. The
presidential party will be in the cit.
from 7:15 in the evening until
o'clock the next morning, SO it is as
sured that there will be ample time tt
complete the arrangements as al
ranged.

duce beef that not only is the milk sup
ply of the calf insufficient but the calf
itself is robbed even before its birth
and comes so small and delicate that
it would seem to require two nurses
in addition to it's mother instead of
one. 1t has happened in our own ex-
perience the COWS that showed the fin
est beef type have proved quite un-
profitable as producers of calves, sub
ject to abortion on the slightest ex-
cuse, and even when the calf came to
it's full time disappointing in the ex-
IRENE.
While there has been much improve
ment in some directions in the last
twenty years we feel that there has
been a falling off of milking qualities
that tend rather to the detriment on
the whole than the improvement of the
breed. If breeders will keep in sight
and touch with the up-to-date farmer
who milks COWS and feeds steers they
will not go very far wrong. If they get
out of sight of that fellow they are liza
bic to go astray.-Wallace's Farmer.

LIVESTOCK INTERESTS
THE BREEDERS COW VS.. THE
FARMERS COW,

animal of superior usefulness for the
common farmers of the country: al
COW. for instance, whose calf will pro-
duce a superior quality of meat in
greater abundance at the same or low
er cost The chief end of the beef COW
is to produce a calf that will furnish
beef at the greatest profit. The chief
end of the dairy COW is to produce
milk which will furnish butter and
cheese at the lowest cost.
Whenever the breeders forget that
the farmer is the man for whom they
must ultimately breed, they lay the
foundation for future trouble. When
ever they get out of hearing of up-to-
date, improved farming, they are apt to
go astray. We sometimes fear when
we visit state fairs and stock shows
that the breeder is getting not only
out of hearing of the ordinary farm
er, but is in danger also of getting out
of his sight If the breeder is to pro
duce a COW that will suit the wants of
the farmer she must give milk enough,
at the very least, to start the calf on
the right track to begin a vigorous en-
ergetic life If she fails to do this, she
is not at all the COW that the farmer
wants. If it is necessary to employ
some less stylish, less beefy nurse COW
to help her raise a lusty bull calf what
does the farmer want with a bull calf
of that type? To produce COWS that
must have nurses to help them per-
form the function of maternity?
We greatly fear we are pushing the
beef type to a point that will prove
ruinous in the end. Ruinous alike to
the breeder and ultimately to the
farmer who depends upon him for
improved types of stock. While it is
true that we cannot have the highest
quality of beef and the highest quality
of milk production in the same animal,
there is certainly a golden mean. A
first-class milk COW should produce
milk enough for two calves. If she
don't she will not furnish a profit to
the man who feeds her Is it too
much to ask Of the very best beef COW
to produce an abundant supply of milk
for one calf, however thrifty and Wig
orous it may be? Are we not pushing
the beef element too far when a COW
fails to produce at least that amount of
milk?
Breeding extreme beef may con-
tinue for a while with great profit to
the breeders of the first rank until
breeders who depend on them for
heads for their herds are fully sup
ulied, or at least until the demand for
such slakens. But if those breeders
OF the second rank cannot furnish
their farmer customers with bulls that
nave the proper amount of milking
potency, farmers will cease to buy
and conclude they will take less beef
Improvement combined with milk DO
tency. In other words, they will turn
their attention to the granger's or
dual purpose cow For no matter what
the advocates of the special purpose
dairy breeds may say, the farmers in
the great west who must have milk
as well as beef will demand it and will
turn their attention to dual purpose
breeds until they too are ruined by

The polka IS the natural dance for

its origin. \ Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing "out Of her own
head" extemporizing from the sheer
Joy OF her heart song, tune and steps.

all he saw The people of the town
adopted the dance and called 1t the

spread rapidly through Europe. When
