MUST NOT SWEAR
WHEN MILKING COWS
Polite Whispers to Bossy Ordered
by Duchess County Medical
60 '- --- Society

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, Feb. 7
The farmers and dairymen of
Duchess county are indignant over
a rule made by the milk commission
of the Duchess County Medical So
ciety which will deprive them of the
Endorsement of the society if they
swear or talk loudly in the cows
stables during milking hours.
The new rules require also that
every cow shall be washed and
groomed before being MIXED and
that the hair on the cows tails must
be cut short, cats and dogs must be
excluded from the stables and no
spectators may witness the milking.
The dairymen balk most at the
order for whispers and gentle pats
for stubborn bossies, and local con-
sumers fear another increase in the
price of milk.

HANDBALL TITLE
SETTLED TONIGHT

Coin and Powell will attempt to
wrest the handball championship
of the S. A. A. G. from Bigelow and
Edge tonight. The only game Of
the season between these clever
teams was brought to an abrupt end
when Cohn broke his ankle. The
teams were playing evenly up to
that time.
Bigelow and Edge went through
the tournament without defeat,
their last victory being over Par
sons and Single. Had they shown
any disposition to claim the title
and silver cup they might have
done so, as technically Powell and
Cohn forfeited the game when Cohn
was forced to quit.
