BOVINE ARISTOcRAT
Has the WO Ids Record for
Quality of LacteaI
Fluid Produced.

Some cows may give better milk, but
no COW in the world gives so much of
it as Josephine, an eight-year. old Hol-
stein Fresian, the queen of the herd
of the Missouri State College of Agri-
culture. Just now Josephine is under
going test to determine how much
milk she will give in year. Having
already broken all the other lacteal
record it is a pretty safe bet that
Josephine will establish clear title
to the heavyweight milk producing
championship and hold 1t safe for
some time
Colanthe. 4th Johanna, owned In
Rosendale. Wisconsin, used to be the
prize COW. but Josephine has beaten
every one of her records. In the first
six months of the present test Jose
phine produced 1854 pounds of milk
against Is, ,54l pounds of Colanthe. In
one day Josephine produced llO.2
pounds of milk against Colanthe's lO6 I;
i'm one month Josephine produced 1850
pounds against the Wisconsin cows
>, 7S3 and she has beaten the Wisconsin
cows average for two, three, four, five
andsix months.
The average farmer is satisfied If his
COWS give ten quarts of milk a day,
but Josephine gives enough to fill
fifty four quart bottles. Giving the
average person two thirds of pint of
milk a day she could supply a hotel
with l65 boarders. The butter from
her milk would be enough to supply
boarders three times day. Naturally
with such high production, the milk
given by Josephine is inferior TO that
given by the average dairy COW, al
though it meets and exceeds the legal
requirements of butter fat. 1t is
estimated that her milk will produce
revenue of 81, 200 to $500 year

Obituary.

Anne Dill Cooper. daughter of John
and Anne Dill was born March ~,
1880 and departed this life Wednesday
morning, Oct. II, 1910, having reach, d
the ripe old age of 80 years 6 months
and twenty.three days.
She was the last living member Of
her family.
Her parents we're of the Presby-
rian faith and the little girl was
brought up in the Presbyterian Sun
day School
From having been associated with
the young people Of the Methodist
church she grow to like that denomi.
nation best and at the age of Is years
joided the Methodist Church.
Withe the exception of the last few
years. when sickness and failing
health confined her to the home she
was consistent and faithful attend
ant upon the services of her adopted
church.
On Oct. 20, 1854, she was married to
Allen Cooper and theirI home was
established in the country near New
Market. Theirs was a hospita ble
home, for years the headquarters Of
the ministers on the circuit, where a
kindly welcome and helping hand
greeted the coming and gave God
speed to the parting guest.
Three children we're born to this
union, Flora, Matte and John.
In 1856 a great sorrow came into
this home when Flora after short
illness was called away.
Three years ago death entered her
home again and after tifty-three years
of companionship was left to mourn
the loss of her husband.
Failing health soon commenced to
show TO those near and dear that
mother and grandma would not tarry
long. She spoke often. of the time
being short and of being ready and
waiting to meet the call when it
should come.
Last Saturday morning the Death
Angel touched her for his own, and
all that loving hands, kind hearts and
tender devotion could do would not
bring her back. We could not keep
her longer for God had said come up
higher.

Oppressive Factory Conditions,

(From the second instalment Of
Working Girls Budgets" by Edith
Wyatt and Sue Ainslie Clark, in the
November McClure's.)
In the Broadway establishment,
which may be called the Bruch Shirt
waist Factory, where Natalya worked,
there were four hundred girls-six
hundre in the busy season. The hours
we're long-from eight til half past
twelve, a half hour for lunch, and
then from one till half past six.
Sometimes the girls worked until
half past eight, until nine. There
were only two elevators in the build
ing. which contained other factories.
There we're two thousand working
people to be accommodated by these
elevators, all of whom began work at
eight o'clock in the morning so that,
even if Natalya reached the foot of
the shaft at half past seven, 1t was
sometimes half past eight before she
reached the shirtwaist factory on the
twelfth floor. She was docked for
this inevitable tardiness so often that
frequently she had only five dollars a
week instead of six. The injustice,
and the fact that sometimes the fore
man kept them waiting needlessly for
several hours before telling them thai
he had ma work for them, was partic-
ularly wearing to the girls.

week OF Y. NJ. c. A,
HISTORY IN OHIO

Bellevue is little city of about
5000 people, with a flourishing Y. NJ.
c. A. A few days since group of
enthusiastic members got together
and within three days they had put
the enrolment up to 771--the largest
membership of any Y NJ. c. A. in the
country for town of that size.
On the night of the nth of Octo-
ber. Mr.. S. p. Fem. President of the
Cleveland Association and member
of the State Committee, with the
state Secretary. met with the direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce of
Flyria. The Secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce had previously Sc
cured the signatures of thousand
men of Elyria for membership in the
proposed new Y. NJ c. A. That
means that one man OF every five in
the community signed up. II was
unanimously decided to start as soon
as possible a campaign for 100000
with which to start a modern Y. NJ.
c. A. The State Committee has been
asked to assist in engineering this
campaign.
On the evening of the 18th, the
Board of Directors of the Marion Y.
NJ. c. A. voted to start a campaign
December lst to provide for re-mod-
cling of their building and current
expenses for two years ahead. This
campaign will be led by the State
Committees campaign engineer, Mr.
J. ID. Van Scoten. who has led with
such remarkable success seven SINH
lar campaigns in Ohio. The amount
to be raised will probably be at least
SAC, 900
On October 18th. the Lima Asso-
mously voted to equip a new plant to
take the place of their present en-
tirely inadequate quarters. This cam
naign will also be conducted by Mr.
Van Scoten few months hence. II
is probable that the old building will
be sold and a campaign for 100000
iEaugurated.
On Friday, the l4th. the State Com
mittee's headquarters at Columbus
received word from a representative
committee of citizens of Alliance.
that their prosperous community
must have Y. NJ. c. A soon. They
already have $4,000 in bank and they
ask the assistance Of the State Com
mittee in organizing building cam
paign this winter.
BY the same mail, a letter comes
from one of the leading pastors of
Shelby asking for an investigation of
the need of a Y. NJ. c. A. in their
fourishing little city of 5000. An
Association Sunday will be conduct
ed November 18th, with the help OF
the State Committee, after which an
investigation will be made with a
7iew TO helping them secure a Y. NJ.
c. a.
Fostoria has just decided that they
must have the help of the State Com
nittee in a $4,000 building campaign
in the spring $4,000 is already in
sight.
Saturday noon marked the opening
OF the sl50,00O building campaign at
Hamilton. The first three gifts an
bounced were two at $4,000 each
and $1.O0 from a little girl. Within
ten days Hamilton will have fund
with which to put up Y. NJ. c. A.
building adequate to the very large
industrial needs Of that city.
These are some of the develop
ments of a single week in Ohio's
Greatest Industry.
