Il. Rees of Hampton, N. D., and

of the child.
The couple registered at the Fred

BL0DDED cows
FOR FARMERS
Major Person Returns from Wiscon-
sin Where He Bought Two Cars Of
Mich Cows, Heifers and Registered
Guernsey Bulls.

Major z. S. Person, President of
the Union National Bank, returned
from White Water, Wis, Wednesday
afternoon where he went in company
With J. l.. Elsberry of he Riverside
Dairy, TO select two carloads OF mich
COWS, thorobred bulls and heifers for
himself as we'll as for a number of
farmers of this vicinity. They Sc
lected two car loads of the best kinu
of cattle which will arrive Friday.
Mr.. Elsberry is on his way to Minot
with the stock.
There are 81 head of cattle in the
lot, consisting Of twenty-three Hol-
stein heifers, two full blooded regis
tered Guernsey bulls and twenty-sev.
en- grade Guernsey mich cows. The
cows are either fresh or will be fresh
within a month.
The stock comes from that famous
dairy country in Wisconsin where the
farmers have all grown immensely
wealthy milking COWS. Mr.. Person
says they practically all have fine
large dairy barns with cement floors
and the buildings are kept as clean
as barns possibly can be. The land
altho what North Dakotan would
consider waste land, is selling for
$40 an acre. 1t is rolling and does
not appear to be half as good as our
own North Dakota land, which sells
ior $50 and acre and oftentimes less.
Jalrylng is what made this land so
valuable. Think what dairying will
DO for our North Dakota land some
d0y, and that day is not very far off
The bringing of this stock to this
section of the state, marks an epoch
in the dairy INDUSTRY Of the north
west. The effect that it will have
IN the grade Of mich COWS in the
years TO come, can hardly be mag
med.
Ihe COWS cost on the average about
$50, while the heifers cost from s25
to $50. The thorobred bulls cost a
| nice little bunch of money.
Major Person bought one of the
bulls and five Guernsey cattle to
stock his own farm twelve miles
northwest of here. Mr.. Person pro-
oses to show what can be done in
the way t breeding high grade stock
in North Dakota. Mr.. Person bought
one full blooded mich COW and one
that is very nearly full blooded. The
others are high grades.
Mr.. Elsberry secured a number of
Holsteins for his dairy farm. He
already has lot of choice Holsteins
on the farm. Some of the COWS and
heifers have been sold TO H. J.
Hecht from north Of the city. J.

VIM several and = number will 20
/ to the Spires farm northwest of the
city.
This is but d beginning. It is ex-
pected that other farmers will make
arrangements to have good stock
shipped in. Mr.. Person states tina.
he is willing to talk business with
any farmer who is anxious to give
his attention to this important in
dustry.
Mr.. Person states that there is such
a demand for the full blooded stock

Very Jew people realize the extern
OF the building operations in the city

FIRST CATCH THE MEADOW GOOSE.

N N old cookery book recipe in telling how to cook a goose
IN begins its formula with: First catch your goose Newark
meadow and dock improvement depends entirely on the
acquisition by the city of the meadow property. Newark must first
secure ownership of the land and waterfront. And what are the
city authorities doing to accomplish that end? What has the Board
Of Works, which should never have been trusted with a special
work Of such magnitude, done since the date in 1908 when the
Newark public authorized it? The project of meadow and dock
development is not much further advanced than it was in the be-
ginning, and the evidence is that it won't be any further advanced
in another year unless the enterprise is taken out of the hands of
this board and committed to a harbor commission composed of
men who are specially qualified and who will devote their whole
attention to it. An elective board that changes in its personnel
every year and has important departmental duties to discharge is
unfit to take charge of a work of such a character, a work that
is to be continuous for a number of years and that involves, also,
highly important future administration. Incapable of properly
carrying out the constructive plans on the meadow and bay, how
much better qualified would the board be to act as a harbor board
and unite such duties with those of caring for the streets, the
water supply, etc.? The city should without further procrasti-
nation acquire the meadow property as the necessary first step in
its development, and a harbor board should be created to take
entire charge of the great Improvement to be made. The question
of a ship canal, over which there is a conflict of judgment, can be
disposed of afterward. 1t is absurd to be quarreling over a future
detail of an improvement for land we do not own, and which, if
interminable delay is not ended, we may not be able to acquire.
We must first catch the meadow goose before we begin to cook it.

BRIDGE WHIST FOR CHURCH FUNDS.

90 m LII churches that have to be supported by bridge whist
or gambling affairs or vaudeville entertainments ought
to be destroyed by fire." declared a Ridgefeld Park
pastor to bis congregation. The provocation for the pastors remark
was the announcement of a bridge whist party in aid of a church
rebuilding fund. AS bridge whist is played for prizes that are of
pecuniary value, and therefore the game comes under the ban of
the ~antigambling law of the State, the pastor is amply justified
in his condemnation of the use of a legally immoral game for
church purposes. But it was enough to condemn the game. The
emotional pastor goes to the extreme length of approving the de-
struction by fire of a church building built by such means. He
would rebuke a minor statutory crime by sanctioning a much
greater one. But if the sources of all church buildings funds we're
critically looked into would it not be found that bridge whist is
not the only one that is questionable in not a few cases? If it
were justifable morally to destroy by fire every church edifce built
from funds that included some tainted money, might there not be a
considerable loss in church property? But granting that funds
for church building are sometimes given by unworthy hands could
the money be put to any better purpose? Should it be devoted to
purposes of evil?

RAILROAD Hekntombs and Dividends.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
How long are the people going to
tolerate the periodical manning and
killing of passengers by the railroads
of the country?
We take unusual care to safeguard
ourselves in a hundred and one way
place our lives in jeopardy through
sheer negligence.
When a few hundred insectivorous
birds are slaughtered in Montclair
every paper in New York and the
vicinity launches column diatribes in
outraged protest. But when it comes
to the slaughter of human beings the
railroads are allowed to continue their
guards. Is 1t because railroad wrecks
have become so common that they are
accepted as a matter of course, or is
1t because the railroad companies pay
dividends?

was wrecked, killing thirty-seven and
injuring sixty. Two weeks ago an
