BALTIMORE TO
ALLOW KISSING.

That City Raises Embargo
and New Policy is Now
Announced Because It's
Only Human to Kiss.
(By United Press.i

BALTIMORE, Aug. 13.-Lips
pursed and lips puckered may now
meet in oseulatory bliss in BaIti-
more's parks, for the ban of years
on kissing has been lifted, and the
joy of thousands Of youths and
maidens is unconfined. When Cen
eral Berry was head of the park
board he caused the arrest of
spooning couples, who, besides the
humiliation. were obliged to pay
fines. Since then the rule against
kissing has been enforced.
General Ferdinand C. Latrobe,
seven times mayor OF Baltimore
and president of the park board,
made public the good news today,
while he was opposing a proposal
to put more lights in the parks.
The general resented the charge
that assaults are frequent in the
parks. He declared that Baltimore
parks have better protection In
every way than the parks in other
cities.
rs kissing permitted in the
parks now, generalg' he was asked.

reply How are you going to pre-

THE "ROBBER" COW.

1t might be well for the dairy farm
ers who are now in attendance upon
the various county fairs to bear in mind
that the American cow of native stock
ranks low in dairy husbandry.
We are only beginning to learn the
most important lesson in an industry
which, nevertheless, adds 100000. 900
annually to the wealth of the nation
That lesson is the absolute necessity of
keeping faithful record of the guam
tity and quality of milk given by every
mich cow in herd If there is q fall
ing off in the number of pounds OF the
percentage of butter fat on the part OF
a COW her ration must be regulat ID. If
she refuses to improve upon careful ex-
pertinent she is Srobber" COW and
should have no place in the herd. Fo:'
it splain that a COW is a ''robber''
which eats $50 worth of Feed a year
and yields only $50 worth OF butter,
and her owner owes it to himself and
to the dairy interests of the country not
to countenance the increase of such a
breed.
1t is said that in the state of Illinois

that the railroad companies had no

excusable to a certain point.
MIR. BruntOn cited the instance of
DR.. N. G. Blalock in experimenting in
sage brush land to prove that bumper
wheat crops could be grown, and also
referred to the experiment made by
j. l.. Dumas the apple king" who

COMMUNICATED
Editor Statesman:

Editor Statesman:
Will you permit me to make a few
pertinent suggestions through the
columns of your valuable paper for
the benefit of the Walla Wallans in
charge of. and those who are visitors
to, the city park? Being a somewhat
regular visitor to the model pleasure
spot. especially on Sundays, I have
entirely out of place.
Last Sunday afternoon the banks
of the boat pond were thronged with
men, women and children. basking in
the autumn sunlight while watching
the boats ply to and fro, and enjoying
the afternoon to the fullest extent.
1t was anything but edifying then. to
note that one of the boats had been
rented to bunch of young hoodlums
who should have been in a bar-room,
judging by the language used in the
presence of girls and ladies upon the
insulting remarks. We're heard by ev-
eryone on the banks. and many, in
sheer disgust, got up and left the
spot
1t would seem that those in charge
of the boats would place some re-
striction upon those who use the
same, especially if they are of dis
position to forget what is expected of
young gentlemen in a pleasure spot
SO much enjoyed as is the city park.
Trusting these few remarks will have
the desired result, and that women
and girls may go to the park pond
without having their finer sensibii-
ties rudely shocked by ally slang, I
submit them.
