A large woman with a Swarthy skin and 6 co1ored shawl about her shoul- ders kept the teeth of several young men chattering shortly after o'clock yesterday morning while all concerned were passengers aboard a North Main street trolley car bound for the center of the city.
 The large woman kept the point of a five inch blade resting against the vest of one of the young men for a few minutes and after the scare he was white as a ghost while the other pas sengers on the car breathed easier when the woman put her knife away.
 The woman had bundle which she tossed in front of the rear seat while the car was stopped at the northern terminal near Wentworth street Three young men were seated on the rear seat and the young man seated on the end apparently did not like the to him. He said, There is a seat for you. lady,. pointing to the seat in front of him. His companions joined in telling the woman, There is a seat instructions but exclaimed. tMe no dog"
 The trio of young men roared with laughter at this statement and the woman turned around in her seat and exclaimed again, Me no dog" The young menthought this was real funny and laughed louder than at first. The woman's eyes flashed fire and reach ing into her blouse she drew out huge clasp knife which she opened in a twinkling and whirling about in her seat she pressed the blade against the ribs of the young man who first sug- gested that she take the seat ahead. He must have felt the blade for he winced but did not dare change his position or move Me no dog" re- peated the woman with the knife as though she was giving the young man a chance to apologize.
 By this time the car was in motion and everyone in it waseither standing up or turned about in their seats ex- pecting they were going to see the angry big woman give the knife a push that would make them witnesses to a murder.
 Conductor George Davis came along the running board and commanded the woman to put the knife up. The wo- man paid no attention but just showed her teeth and seemed to press on the knife a little more

 The woman mumbled to herself and tucked the knife in her clothing. Then the passen gers breathed easier. partic- ularly the very much scared young man who had had the blade pressed against his vest.

GRAND JURY STILL
 INVESTIGATING CHARGE
 AGAINST CARNEGIE co
Special from United Press )

New York. July 7-The Grand Jury was still Investigating today the charge of Clarence E. Wellborn that s400,OO0 worth of securities deposited by him with the Carnegie Trust Company had been re-hypothecated and sold on Wall street. Wellborn'S statement that the bonds had disappeared is fatly con- tradicted by the officials of the Car negie Trust Company. President Reichmann stated today that he has s300,000 of the bonds, that they were pledged for loan of $5S000, instead of s25,000 as Wellborn has stated, and that the matter is a dispute between WellbOrn and his broker with which the trust company can have no con- cern. If he wants the bonds that the Carnegie Company holds, Reichmann said today, all Wellborn need do is to take up his loan and they will be turn ed over to him. The bonds in ques- tion are first mortgage a0nds of the Titusville & Northern Railway, rail- road three miles long in Pennsylvania, which was planned to be a holding company in a contemplated merger of utility corporations in Titusville and vicinity

given by most dairymen for not keeping
a complete record of their herd, is that
they cannot afford to do so, because
it takes SO much time and because labor
is scarce.
To make a fair profit, milk must be
produced at the lowest possible cost. To
do this, the dairyman must know the
returns from each COW in the herd It
is not enough for him to know how
much milk each COW produces, but he
must also know the amount and cost
of the feed eaten to produce this milk
If the dairyman fails to get this infor-
nation, he is not likely to find dairying
as profitable as he has expected. The
result will often be that he will con-
denim the business, and say that Florida
is no place for dairying, as there is no
money in it. The real cause of the fail
ure, is, however, the poor method of con-
Quoting the business.
Any commercial enterprise, if not con-
Quoted on business principles, will sooner
or later become a failure The first
question the business man asks is, "Will
it pay?" If he is convinced that change
in his methods will pay, he is apt to
make the change. Dairying is just as

Keeping Dairy Records.

Dy JOIII WI.
1t is doubtful if there are half-dozen
dairymen in Florida who can tell what
it costs them to produce a gallon of milk,
Or whether every COW in the herd pro-
duces enough milk to pay for the feed
given it. These are, however, two import
ant questions, and every dairyman ought
to be able to answer them. 1t is just as
important to know the cost of producing
a gallon of milk, as it is to know how to
combine feed so as to get the best re-
suits. Without the knowledge of the
cost for each COW, failure will often fol-
low. The only way to know this is to
keep a daily record of the feed given
and the milk produced. The excuse

milk; but if all had been as profitable as
COW No. 10 it would have cost only
$158.1O, or less than half as much. Had
the entire herd been as good milk pro-
ducers as the best four COWS, the 2165.72
gallons of milk would have cost $192.75
while if the entire herd had been as un-
profitable as the three poorest COWS, the
milk would have cost $4,000, an increase
of $123.45, or $17.63 per COW.
These figures should be convincing
enough to show the profits to be obtain
ed by keeping daily record of each
COW in the herd.

Why Florida Is Not a Dairy State.

Since Florida imports products to the
value of thousands of dollars every year,
it has often occurred to the writer to
query why a larger percentage of these
products were not produced at home.
The climatic conditions of Florida are in
fact better suited to dairy work than
those of several of the Northern States
in the North Yet in spite of this the
and Illinois find ready market in Flor
ida for their condensed milk, butter and
cheese
Here is, I Think the secret of the
whole business Florida farmers have
not the cows. | do not mean that there
are no COWS in Florida, but that there
are not nearly enough profitable dairy
COWS in the State. Every dairyman
should realize sooner or later, and bet
ter sooner that every COW is not an eco
nomical milk and butter producer Some
COWS will produce only 5000 to 1000
pounds of milk during the year, while
others will produce 5000 to 10000
pounds in the same time. The heaviest
milk producers go far beyond these fig
ures; for instance Colanth's 4th. Johanna
(bred and owned by w. ]. Gillett, Rose
dale, Wis., in 10 months produced 81
1872 pounds (3,1S9 gallons) of milk. This
COW is pure bred Holstein. A Jersey
COW, Jacoba Irene, (owned by A. O. AT
ton, of Jerseyville, Ill., produced in -
months, 1928 pounds (2,OO6 gal
lons), of milk These few records
will show what is possible with
good dairy COWS. The F1olstein cow
mentioned above produced as much
milk in a year as six ordinary cows;
while the feed consumed was perhaps
equal to about what two ordinary COWS
would need The Jersey COW, Jacoba
Irene, which produced 1928 pounds of
milk in a year, consumer $96.43 worth
of feed. This amount is perhaps equal
to what two of Our ordinary COWS will
eat i'll the same period
The milk she produced (2,OO6 gallons)
at 80 cents per gallon is worth $6O1 so,
six times the cost of the feed The
writer is we'll aware that such COWS are
no found every day but these results
show what is possible, with proper breed
ing and feeding.
Perhaps the average milk production
per year per COW for Florida is less than
1000 pounds of milk With such small
yields is it any wonder that dairying is
improbable? 1t should be the ambition
of every shrewd dairyrnan to increase
the average milk flow of each animal to
the limit He should be satisfied with
less than 5000 pounds of milk per year
from each and every COW in his herd
The reason Florida is not a great dairy
ing State is because there are too many
so-called dairy COWS in the State that
do not produce enough milk to pay for
the feed they eat

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
SUCCESS IN GEORGIA

Dublin, Ga.-Owing to the great in
crease In the business of the city's
light and water department, the mayor
and council have ordered a new en-
gine, which will be installed probably
by the first of September. This new
engine will add about 500-horse now
er to the plants capacity. and II Is
thought that this will be sufficient for
the next three or four years.
Dublin has tried municipal owner
snip of the light and water plant for
ABOUT 10 years and the venture has
oeen such pronounced success that
the citizen would be laughed at who
should advocate the sale and trans
fer to private corporation.
Nearly every year the plant has
paid running expenses, paid for thou
sands of dollars worth of improve
ments and turned into the city treas.
ury more than enough net profit to
pay interest on the light and water
bonds that have been issued from time
TO time. Under the administration Of
Mayor L. Q, Stubbs, which has lust
come to the second half of its two
year term, the light and water de-
partments, as well as all other city
departments, has made a magnificent
showing, the city being almost entire

accounts receivable more than suf-
ficient to pay every dollar owed and

Notes
CllMntecler.

Edmond Rostand, the author of
Cyrano de Bergerac, has within the
last year astonished the literary and
theatrical world 10Y bringing out a
play, Chantecler, which is a parody
on the vanity of men and women. II
depicts world in a barnyard with
all the vanity and pettiness of the
world If men and women. Maud
Adams is to appear in this play.
Through the kindness of a. friend
of the library who is too modest to
let the name be known, the library
has come into possession of the back
numbers of Hampton's Magazine In
which translation of this play ap-
pears. The illustrations accompany
ing the translation are very illumin-
ating as to the utterly unique charac-
ter of the play.
Not that the idea of representing
the character OF men and women
through the disguise of animals is
new. 1t is as old as Aesop and older.
We find it among the folklore of every
people. Seton Thompson and Jack
London have both used animals as
characters as we'll as Rudyard Kip
ling and many other men, but the por-
trayal of such a kind of story has not
been common on the stage if we ex-
cept Browning's Pied Piper. 1t prom
ises to be an entirely new sensation in
the theatrical world.
