(From a staff correspondent

LANSING, Mich, March l5.-Mem-
bers OF the Modern Woodmen OF Ant
erica are putting up "A fight against the
adoption OF any legislatisa for a mini
mum rate to be enforced by all fra
ternal associations as decided by the
National Fraternal congress last Au-
gust. The legislators are asked TO
par out all bills OF this kind through

talks.
The members oil the Modern Wood

more right TO fix their rates than it
would have 10 establish the amount of
premiums the old line companies
should charge. that the fraternal or
ganizations are purely representative,
working on the cooperative plan and
rates must be governed by local cor
ditions. that the state has the power
simply OF regulation TO compel the
lulfilment OF contracts and see that
charter provisions are complied with
as a protection Tor the public.

his railroad enterprises In Mexico. the
Mexican National railroad; but he
continued to be president of the Rio
Grande Western railroad until April.

SAY HOWARD MAY

lucky.
At the time Goebel WAS assassinated
VIM. c. Howard was only 10 years
old. The fact that Howard was boy
al the time has some weight. as VII
nesses testified at the trial OF Jim
Howard that the shooting OF GoeOei
was the work OF boys.
William G Howard first enlisted IN
the army at Knoxville. Tenn III lsol.
His second enlistment also was from
Knoxville. in 1904. and the third from
Columbus, ..
Howard has but two relatives living,
brothers. one is in Seyierville, Tenn,
and the other somewhere In Kentucky.
In Tennessee he bore a bad reputa-
lion. and there are two killings In the
wilds OF the mountains that have been
vaguely attributed TO him. although no
definite proof ever was forthcoming.
Howard shot and killed Edward
Dewhurst i'm public park In New
Bedford three years ago but was &C
ouitted through the testimony OF a

Skim-Milk Fed Calves.-So many

Skim-Milk Fed Calves.-So many
people speak OF the trouble of raising
calves on skim milk. Now there is
trouble in raising calf by any
method, if its mother is used for dairy
purposes. To let calf to the COW and
take il away when il has enough is
more work than feeding by hand. Fur
Their, there is no absolute way OF tell
ing when the calf has taken the proper
amount of milk. You just have to
guess at it. The calf that is fed by
hand can be raised on skim milk after
a few days. and the cream saved. The
calf that takes its nourishment from
the COW consumes all the cream in the
milk. hence an expensive calf The
handled calf will soon learn to eat
grass, hay, or grain and will make as
good growth. with care, as the calf fed
in the natural way. Ii lives on cheap
feed. is always contented. and through
constant handling becomes a gentle
and serviceable COW. Those who have
tried the two methods find that the
skim-milk method is safe, easy, and
profitable in every way.
