Did Radford at any time make an
examination of your reports to the
auditor to ascertain if they were cor

'I don't remember"
Did he not sign them just as soon as
you presented them?'
He usually signed right away"

lic In it Curtiss agrees to attempt to
make a flight in his aeroplane from
Governors Island UP the Hudson and
around a buoy or other mark near
Grants tomb, and return to Cover
nor's Island, and in the event of this
not being practicable, he agrees to at
tempt flights across the Hudson river
from some place such as near Grants

er to a much larger committee, rep
resenting the various departments of

review OF the school children began.
Then for miles the president bowed
and smiled and waved his hands to
the enthusiastic youngsters who sang
patriotic songs and waved American
flags in his honor
The school yells of the young peo-
pie frequently stirred the president to
hearty chuckles. The lines of review
produced practically an uninterrupted
roar of shrill cries.
The singing was lead by cornets
stationed at intervals. OF the many
banners under which the cavalcade
passed two attracted particular at
tention. One huge affair read: God
bless our president and another

worth what they would sell for to the
butcher, or to some dairyman that was
willing to work for $25 per month.
What are the cows worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds Of butter per annum?
Here am going to make a statement
and undertake to prove it correct. When
the cow that produces 200 pounds OF
butter per annum at a food cost of $50
and labor cost of 1880 is worth
$35, the cow that produces 400 pounds
of butter annually is worth $500, and
the owner can make net SIC more from
her after paying the interest on his
$500. than he can from the COWS that
produce 200 pounds of butter.
There is no more labor connected
with the 400-pound cows than there is
with the 2OO-pound cows The price
at which the butter has been credited,
i. e. zoe per pound, is the net price from
the creamery after the making has
been paid for. In the herd the in
creased amount of skim milk, so we
have the 200 pounds increase of butter
as net profit over the 200-pound cow
Two hundred pounds of butter at zoe
is $40. We have $500 invested in
these cows which at six per cent in
terest is $24 which we will deduct from
the $40. and we have left SIG to the
credit of the $400 pound cow.-From

Well, when the new attraction coyly

it was the apricot lady herself who
