THE ISSUE JOINED.

which party stands squarely upon
this issue. The Republican con-
vention declared in iavor OF
postal savings banks only in the
event that the plan for the guar
anty of deposits could not be pu,
in effect. Mr.. Taft has denounced
the democratic plan. 1t is no,
material that the state of Kansas,
through its republican convention
has declared in favor of it: that
means only that Kansas republi-
cans have repudiated their
national platform and their
national nominee. Ii will not re-
lieve the republican party of re-
sponsibility of antagonism to the
most popular issue if, as is an,ici-
pated, the republicans of Ne
braska also endorse it. He must
accept the attitude of the nomi-
nee for president and the utter
ances OF the national platform as
authoritative on all matters
touched upon by either.
In an article published in a
prominent republican paper of
Chicago, the Record Herald. Mr..
Walter Wellman. we'll known
political writer, declares that in
his judgment this issue of the
guarantee of bank deposits is be-
coming the chief one of the cam
paign. Mr.. Wellman is poli,i-
cal writer who so far as the natural
tendency of every man to sympa-
thizc with one side or the other
will permit, has been non-parti-
san in his work. And it is for
this reason that we find it worth
while to quote somewhat from his
letter to the republican Record
Herald:

majority OF farmers have money in
bank. When the money panic started
in New York last October and caused

One of the interes ting cases to be

this city is one from Price County
The case originated in Prentice the
hon of our former townsman E..
R. Barager. Under the new law
the vote on the license question
must be by Australian ballot, but it
seems that a great many of the votes
cast in the town of Prentice was I'M
der the old law which requires a
ballot for license and another against
license. Counting the ballots which
were cast in this way license carried
but counting only those cast under
the new law no license carried !.
The election clerks certified only
those cast according to the late law
and in consequence the town will be
dry. One of the saloon keepers Sc

the proceedings, ETC., will be

Good Cows Mean More Money for
the Farmer
One Poor Cow in Herd Will
Lower the Average of
Entire Herd Greatly.

'"The dairy cow may be
considered as an animated
machine that has for her mis-
sion the conversion of feed
into milk and butter fat, +"
says Prof. d. III. Otis of the
department of animal nutri-
ton of the University of Wis
consin. His studies of a
large number of herds and of
Individual COWS show that
there IS a great difference in
the efficiency of COW machines.
One herd may produce from
three to five time as much as
profit per COW as another
herd in the same community.
In the same herd one good
COW not infrequently pro-
duces as much profit to the
dairy farmer above the cost
of feed and care as eight or
ten poor COWS.
In q comparison Prof. Otis
made between two herds of
COWS, representing the aver
age of the COWS in Wisconsin
dairy districts, it was found
that in one herd the two best
COWS produced 419 pounds of
butter per COW per annum.
Comparing the production of
the poorest COW with that of
the best two in the herd, and
averaging the three, the yield
of butter per each COW was
lowered from 419 to 312, 81 re-
duction of 106 lbs. of butter
per COW for the year. In the
second herd the average pro-
ductiOn of the two best COWS
in the herd was 427 pounds of
butter. A comparison of the
production of the poorest
COW with the two bestshowed
the average yield lowered
from All to 301 for a COW, a
reduction of 1875 lbs. per COW.
In both instances the poor
COW reduced the average of
the two best COWS to the
average yield of the entire
herd.
The investigation shows
that it is possible for a few
poor COWS in a herd to so re-
duce the profits realized from
the good COWS that the entire
herd is kept either at a loss,
or at but small profit. The
depressing influence of poor
COWS will be eliminated when
the dairy farmer keeps re-
cords of the production of his
individual COWS SO that he
may discover and remove as
soon as possible all s'star
hOarderS. -

to Town @ 'rcrS
Will send Engineers to Plan
Bridges where They
are Needed.

that there has been lack of skilled
planning and supervision in the
construction of the bridges Of the
state, resulting in large number Of
weak bridges and bridges of excess
i've cost. offers to aid In the plan
ming of bridges erected this year.
The Survey will, on request from
the proper officials, send an engine
err to inspect the bridge site, and
determine on the span and the char
acter of bridge and foundation.
From this information plans
and specifications will be prepared
for bridge of the proper character
and strength, and an estimate Of
the proper cost furnished. The
bridge can then be advertised and
let with the assurance that good
bridge will be erected at a reason
able cost. Plans furnished by
bridge companies will be checked on
request when there is not sufficient
time to use the method outlined
above.
All of this assis lance is absolutely
free to towns and villages and there
seems to be no valid reason why
bridge officials should not avail
themselves of it.
The calls on the Highway Division
for bridge assistance are coming in
daily, and If this community has
any bridges to build this year it
