purposes. Every weed that has any
claims as q milk pr 'ducer Is actually

OF the contest but Of vastly more i'm.
portsnca than this to the average
dairy m.u Is something else that the
test promises to demonstrate. is
the old story that farmers will not
believe OF the Importance Of properly
feeding the dairy COW. Under one
set OF Iced superintendents these win.

GRIEVANCE OF CLERKS
SETTLED I6 YEARS AGO
Decided That Days Work Began When
Employe Reported for Duty and
Ended When Relieved.

The interest in the matter of the extra
half hours work a day in the depart
ments, which has been somewhat flag
ging of late. was revived today by a
rumor that the Court OF Claims had
decided some of the questions involved
in 1855 when a test case was made
over the name of n discharged post
office employe. who claimed pay for his
work from the time he reported for
duty until he was freed from duty
Hundreds Of other cases were later set
tied on this ruling.
These cases We're conducted by ID. W.
Classic. a Sixth Street attorney, and
the rulings were along one line. but
were somewhat varied in special cases.
This morning Mr.. Classic said:
Il don't think the question of taking
out meal hour was definitely decided
I'm any Of those cases. but we did con-
tend, and finally it was allowed. that
the days work began when an en-
ploye came 10 work and ended when he
was relieved. This was TO stop the
custom of spreading a postomce en-
ploye's eight hours over fifteen or six
teen hours"
