Suffolk County. However, We would most earnest
" and sincerely suggest that they might get it
from some place where the loss entaied would be
comparatively small. 1t might not be quite con-
venient for them nor for their pockethooks to lay
q few more pipes but 1t would be better than
to ruin the countrys garden spot Why should
not the people of the great metropolis come out
where the water is rather than forever ruin and
exhaust it's sources? If, however, the people must
regale themselves in the effervescelces OF the
greater city Suffolk County might perhaps ship
bv rail to the city its limited share OF drinking
water AS for water for other purposes, they might
condense ii from the ocean. by doing i do not
think one county would be impoverished above
another.
Considering the untold harm your editorial of

spectfuIly request that you give this letter as
prominent and wide publication you did that
to the end that its evil effects may be counter
acted / remain most respectfully yours,

nurses alone sold five hundred tickets at 90 cents
each There was crowd, and the young folks did
themselves great credit. On the previous Monday

EMERGENCY CASES.

Three city branch presidents called at the office
in one day last week to ask for special cheer in
behalf OF unfortunate people in whom they are
Interested One came for infants clothing. one
of her members reported that young mother had
twins born that day and there was not a single
article of clothing to put on them. The husband
had been out of work three months, and the little
savings had gone for rent food and fuel In the
same house another baby was in need of clothing.
It was born months after the father died, and
the mother has been supported by brother. who
is now out of work. All the things needed were
found at the office.
Another president wanted to procure special
glasses for a who supports herself by sew
ing and whose eyes in bad condition. Five
dollars from the emergency fund supplied this need.
The third president had a family her list that
was absolutely without money 10 buy a loaf of
bread. This family needs more help than has been
given.
If it were not for the kind hearted members who
contribute the emergency fund, such sad cases
as these could not receive immediate attention.

Madison, Wis, April, 24-That
Wisconsin leads all the states of the
Union in dairy production records
of pure bred COWS is shown by the
latest bulletin issued by the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin Experiment Sta
ton prepared by Prof. F. w. Wall
and Roy e. Harris, entitled TESTS
of Dairy Cows, 1906-1907." The
bulletin gives an account of the Off
cial and semi-official testing of dairy
cows in this state during the year
ending Oct. 1, 1907, and includes
reports on tests of 233 pure-bred
Holstein cows, 80 Guernsey COWS,
6 Jerseys, 8 Ayrshlres and grade
COWS, total of 345 animals.
The Holstein, Colantha 4th's Jo-
hanna, holds the highest authent1-
Gated worlds record for the pro-
ductiod of butter fat ever made by
cow Of any breed. This cow du-
ring the year ending Dec, % 1902,
gave q, 1925 pounds of milk and
998 256 pounds OF butter fat, the av-
erage tat content being 1894 per
cent. This illustrates forcibly the
wonderful development of the mod
ern dairy cow, which produced at
least four times as much butter fat
as most good COWS, and six times as
much as the majority of ordinary
COWS in Wisconsin. A complete his
tory and record of this COW, includ-
ing an account of the method of
feeding is given, together with a
full page picture.
YeksarOse, Guernsey, has pro.
duction for the year of 1925. 5

cow is Midget Petitesse, with a

Obituary--Green.

Sarah Elizabeth, oldest daughter
of Thomas and Hattie Green, was
born in the town of Beetown, Grant
Co., Wis, Oct. 4, 1870. She receiv-
ed her early education IN the little
log school house on Pleasant Ridge;
later graduating from the Lancas-
ter high school. She then spent
some seven years teaching in the
college at Jacksonville, Mo-, at
tending at the same time during the
vacations the University at Atlanta,
Ga.
She taught until her health was
broken and was taking a respite of
a few years in which to recuperate,
hoping to again take up her chosen
work. In the meantime idleness
was not her choice, but she engaged
in domestic service when able. At
the time of her death, which occur
red, April 10, 1908, she was at Re-
lance, S. OAK, where after a brief
yet painful illness she closed an
earthly service for Heavenly home.
Miss Green was an earnest chris
tian, exemplifying her faith by her
work.
A father and mother, five sisters
and three brothers are left to mourn
their loss, though it be her gain.
The remains were brought to
Lancaster, Wednesday, April %,
and were taken to the church on
the old home farm, where services
were conducted by j. T. Morgans
with singing by the Methodist choir
of Lancaster, and then were lad to
rest in the cemetery near by, where
in childhood and youth Sarah had
attended services.

Another year of good crops in the
United States should settle the
question of general prosperity for
the present. Foreign exports, both
of food materials and manufactures,
are at the highest point ever known.
The balance of trade in our favor is
much the largest on record. If the
farmer can only get help he
would be happy. The village and
city idler will not seek work on the
Farm.
