Jeffe<son City, Mo, December 1.-The supreme court decided that the Missouri anti-pool selling law does not prohibit persons from selling pools races to be run in this state when bets are regis tered by telephone in another state, and the case tried was that of Charles Old ham of Kansas City, who was convicted of keeping booths for selling pools on races at Elmridge race track, where bets were registered in Kansas City, Kan.
 Judge Gnatt wrote the opinion revers- ing the case and discharging the defend- ant. All the judges coneurred.
 Governor Folk said today of the anti pooling law in light of the decision of the state supreme court: If amendment bookmakers to evade the law, 1t will most assuredly be raised by me to the next legislature.
 "Race track gambling is dead in Mis- sourl, and the bookmakers may well realize that 1t cannot be resurrected by the use of the telephone or any other device the statute can be made to cover"
 Herbert S. Had1ey, attorney general said regarding the decision: Receiving money as a deposit for bookmaking is an offense and the bookmaker Is no bet ter off now than if the decision had not been rendered. It will help the prosecut- nig attorneys in preparing their informa- tions."

should have such complete under
standing of his business and the in
dividual needs of each animal, so that
there is no time in the year When she
may not have an abundance of good,
rich, juicy foods, best suited for milk
production The successful develop
ment of cows rests largely on the
breeders equipment
One may in writing of cows says:
"The cow does not make her milk
from running brook er sunny skies,
To be sure she does not, yet l be-
lieve that the water and sunshine are
important factors in the best milk

in the mating OF our anIma.s, ,va..
faulty ones will develop that we had
not figured on. IF we have looked
well to this end. to see that the sire
is right, and that the dams we are
to use for foundation are right, we
have gone a long way toward their
development
l recently heard of a breeder that
when the little heifer calf came into
the herd, it was examined and If ii
did not have so many developed teeth
and the udder and teats just so well
developed, it was knocked in the head
l want to say that if we had prac
ticed such a method in our herd, we
should have slaughtered some of our
most valuable animals, for we have
found that all heifers do not develop
alike, some are veritable little cows
at six months old, while others do
not develop real good COW qualities
until three or four years of age.
Calves should be fed in such a way
as not to impair either growth or di.
gestion, for later on we are going to
ask them to take care of lot, of feed
so that they may develop and be
profitable animals. II fed and cared
for in a careless and harmful manner
their digestive organs are impaired.
l am still believer that heifers
should net freshen too young If al.
lowed to drop their first calf at from
% to 30 months of age. They will
get little more growth and strength
and we believe their digestive capa-
bilities are also strengthened.
There are many things that enter
into the development of the dairy
cow, and possibly if one was dropped,
the best Of results could not be OBJ
tanned, and the man that uses that
part of his body above his ears the
most freely. usually succeeds, best.
We have come to believe that a
large part is due to the feed. The
organs of digestion, like the other
organs and muscles Of the body, are
developed best by constant use. The
breeder that through neglect has not
provided in some way for the emer-
gencies Is short-sighted.
We all know that when a COW once
shrinks in her milk, how hard it is
to get her back. and quite often it is
impossible even with the best of feed,
90 it stands us in hand to provide in
some way for these times, and either
have some soiling crops growing or
enough silage stored up to supple

Grail Singers of To-Day"

Frail singers of to-day, your song is sweet;
The words that we repeat
Are comedy, making music as they pass
Faint as the singing glass
Rubbed by moistened finger; round and
round
Circles the rim of sound,
A thin yet poignant cry. But yesterday
Men sang a manlier way,
Pluckfng rough chords of strength from
Tyres too rude
Ever to be Subdued
BY this slight tinkling. harmony of the
hour.
Awake, awake to power,
Singers of songs-else die! Far better
mute
Were the emasculate lutte,
Far better silent, than thus chirping on
An echo of things gone
Gone down forever with all those mighty
hearts
Who brook no counterparts!

Marked Stationery.

Just a few very exclusive people
have tried 1.-THE mother-of-pearl
marked stationery. The idea is so
extremely luxurious that only the rich
have been able to indulge in this vag-
airy of fashion. 1t goes with the taste
that demands strawberries out of sea-
son and American Beauties when they
are SIS a dozen. This monogram is
made entirely of exquisite mother-of-
pearl and is so affixed to the top of
the stationery that it cannot be taken
of by the toughest handling. It is so
attractive that the temptation is very
great to indulge in it, and already
several Philadelphians use the

Wren we stop to think that all

artificial production the cattle of to-
day are How that environment, con-
ditfons, and tastes of men have de-
veloped them along different. lines,
until we have many different breeds,
with characteristics peculiar to each
breed, and each one true to the type,
color and conformation of its own pc.
culiar breed. This is the work of
ages, and requires great deal Of
skill, patience and perseverance, but
it shows what can be accomplished
If we have a definite aim in view.

OANADAS TARIFF INQUIRY

The Canadian tariff commission has
concluded its inquiry, which has been
In progress five months. 1t is stated
that the result Of the inquiry points to
n stand pat policy. A leading Dominion
paper observes that the broad moral to
well enough alone. THE country is
doing well, the manufacturers, the mer-
chants. the farmers, the mechanics, are
doing well. There is no cry for
change. We have had for the past eight
years a stable tariff and that has been
more important than the putting into
practice of fanciful notions in the shape
of scientific tariffs which lead we know
not where" This view will be regarded
with entire satisfaction by American
manufacturers, but will 1t be accepted
by the manufacturers of Canada?
They have been urging higher duties
in order that they may have better pro-
lection against the competition of the
United States. In view of this II ap-
pears improbable that the Canadian
manufacturers will be found willing to
have the tariff stand as it is. On the
contrary it is to be expected that they
will continue to urge such changes as
they believe would be TO their benefit
in restricting American competition
and it is by no means improbable that
the government will give some heed to
their demand.
The future fiscal policy of Canada is
matter of no small interest to this
country. If there is no radical change
our manufacturers will continue to have
large trade with the Dominion. while
If duties should be materially increased
considerable portion of this valuable
trade will be lost. 1t is gratifying to
find that there is a sentiment in Canada
in favor of letting well enough alone.
