While it is a mighty fine thing for
the farmer to have an automobile and
all right for him to do so if he has the
money in the bank with which to pur
chase the machine. it is very ques-
tionabe procedure for any fellow who
has to increase his Indebtedness to
buy one. We have in mind fellow
who did just this thing, and In the
end it meant that be lost the farm, as
he couldn't get his moneys worth out
Of the machine without using 1t, and
he couldn't do this without neglecting
the farm work.

There are many who hold that when

There would seem to be something in
the contention.

The most important factor in the
choice of sire for the dairy herd is
not the length of his pedigree or
hifalutin name, but the number of
pounds of butter fat produced In
year by his dam, his grandam and
great-grandam. This will be the only
safe guarantee that he will beget heifer
calves Of a fixed milk giving habit.

1t Is all right to feel a keen interest
in the conservation Of the country's

Contrary to an idea that seems to
have got root in the minds Of some
folk here and there. careful expert
ments with the tuberculin test prove
conclusively that the application Of
tuberculin will not only not cause tu-
berculosis in a healthy animal, but
has no harmful effect whatever upon
an animal that is affected with tuber-
culosis or other disease.

One of the reasons why the dairy
COWS give the largest returns In milk
yield in May and June Is that the wa
ter they drink does not chill them to
the bone. This condition can be re
produced in the winter by warming the
drinking water with a tank heater by
the use of cobs or other fuel instead
Of making the COW do the job, utiliz
ing corn and other high priced feeds
for the purpose. Every bit of heat
which the cow has to furnish in the
warming of ice cold water means that
the energy and vitality which she can
devote to milk production are reduced
by just so much.

ue of 5 or per cent over that realized
when the hay is fed in it's natural
state. Just why this is so is not stat
ed. but it seems to be due to the bene'

In all too many instances a fellows
attitude on this matter Of bovine tuber-
culosis depends upon whether it is up
to him to drink the milk or eat the
flesh of animals affected with the dis
ease or whether he has some of them
on his hands that he is anxious to get
rid of and lose as little as possible.
1t is just as easy to form good habits
as bad ones. and this is an important
point not, only in the formation OF
character in man. but in the training
of animals that serve him.

The one great point In favor of corn
silage is that it comes nearer than any
other winter ration to duplicating the
succulence of the lush grasses Of May
and June. 1t is because Of this fact
that stock is so fond of silage and that
the feeding Of it results in such a gen.
erous milk flow in the dairy cow and
the rapid gain in flesh of the other
farm animals to which it Is fed.

In all too many cooperative cream

ed today Thursday and Friday had
been designated on the program simp-
ly as preparation days, but the at
tendance exceeded the records OF
former years.
Philip G. Parmalee and J. Clifford
Turpin, the well known Wright avia-
tors, were scheduled to make several
flights at the ampitheatre of the fair
grounds during the afternoon. The
racing automobiles of Ray Harroun,
who won the 500 mile endurance con
test at Indianapolis, have arrived and
will be driven in the automobile
racec.
The United States naval wireless
station, which was out of commission
owing to the fact that the sound
waves ran down the steel roof of the
amphitheatre and got mixed with
telephone wires, was in working order
today
Crowds continue to arrive on every
incoming train, and the attendance
this year is expected to exceed that
of any previous year.

BURGLARS DROP
CUCKOO CLOCK
Harold johnson Rained Shot All
Around Two Burglars at Boyer
Home Early Sunday
Morning.
OVER THE BACK FENCE
Man Came Out Of Front Door in High
Street Residence and Drummer
Took After Him and
His Pal.
OVER THE BACK FENCE

Brief mention was made in the
Sunday issue of The Gate City of the
routing of burglars at the Boyer home
at No. SIT High street, early Sunday
morning by Harold Johnson who
chased two men all over the neigh
borhood and blazed away at them
several times with a shot gun.
Mr.. Johnson has room in the Boy
er residence and returned from down
town shortly after midnight. AS he
entered the house he saw man step
o. of the porch and when he enter
ed the house and went up stairs to
his room, one of the members of the
household called to him that there
were burglars in the house
He ran into his room and secured
his shot gun and slipping couple of
shells into the gun started down
stairs. AS he came down, man ran
out of the front door, ahead of him
and fell off of the porch just as the
gun was fired at him.
This man was chased out through
the back yard and over the back fence
of the neighboring house and second
shot was fired at him as he cleared
the fence
Returning to the house, second
man was seen making tracks for the
back fence and Mr.. Johnson blazed
away at him just as he made a dive
over the fence, but owing to the ex-
citement of the chase, .Johnsons aim
was bad and he does not think he
peppered either one of the men,
Nothing was missed from the house
but a cuckoo clock was found in the
yard, having been dropped by one OF
the burglars as he was making his
escape from the rain of shot
The police were called but no trace
of the burglars was found and there
were no bloody marks on the ground
Had the moon been shining, SO that
a good aim could have been secured
one or more dead burglars would be
in the morgue today, for Mr. John
son is an expert hunter and would
not have missed his game.

ment's Object.
TWO PER CENT DEPOSITS

heokuk has been designated by
postmaster General Hitchcock as a
postal savings depository, according
TO an announcement made here today,
and 1t is expected the bank will be
opened for business very soon. Keo-
kuk was one of fifty new cities nam
ed.
The banking department of the
local post Office will be handled by
the money order clerks and the work
will hardly be burdensome enough to
necessitate the employment of addi-
tional hep.
An account in postal savings
bank may be opened by any person
over ten years Of age by depositing
one dollar. In order that smaller ac.
counts may be accumulated for de-
posits, however, any person may pur-
chase for ten cents postal savings
card to which may be attached spec
tally designed adhesive stamps, known
as postal savings stamps and
when the stamps so attached amount
to one dollar, the same may be pre-
sented as a deposit for opening an
account
Two per cent interest is paid on
deposits. but the law provides that
the credit of any one person shall
never be allowed to exceed the sum
of $500, exclusive Of accumulated in
terest. Funds in the bank may be
withdrawn at any time.
The postal funds are deposited in
solvent banks, whether organized
under national or state laws, being
subject to national or state super
vision and examination, and the sums
deposited bear interest at the rate OF
not less than two and one-fourth pei
cent. Five per cent Of such funds
are withdrawn by the board of trus
tees and kept with the treasurer OF
the United States in lawful money
as a reserve. The banks with which
the funds are deposited must put UP
in security public bonds or other
securities.
With Uncle Sam backing it. the
government believes that the postal
savings bank will cause many foreign
ers in the country to deposit theil
savings and the money worked into
circulation. 1t has been the custom
of many of these foreigners. who may
work in the country for only a few
years, to regard the banks in genera
with distrusts Instead Of banking
their money they hid it in their socl
and thus keep it out OF circulation

Aviator Will Make Flight Down the Mi,.;,,;nn;
River For Trip Which Will Break the
Record of Atwood
IS TO Be ATTEMPTED IN SEPTEMBER
Start Will be Either at St. Paul or Dubuoua With
the River as the Path and Cities Along
Route as the Guide Posts

Keokuk is probably going to be
one Of the stations on the next great
record breaking aeroplane voyage, a
run down the Mississippi river in an
attempt to break the record just Sc
cured by Atwood who completed his
trip from st. Louis to New York
City.
The proposition has started at St.
Louis where it is proposed to start an
AVIATOR at either ST. Paul or Dubuque
and follow the river down to Vicks-
burg or New Orleans, either of which
trips would break the Atwood record
which now stands as the worlds long
est aeroplane flight. 1t is proposed to
run the great air cruise next month
and Keokuk will likely hear from the
promoters soon.
This city will probably be expected
to put up some cash to help pay the
expenses Of the trip and when the
schedule is made out, one day cele-
bration can be arranged which would
attract hundreds Of people to this city
to see the aviator either land here, or
pass over the city.
The proposition is announced in
this mornings Globe-Democrat, which
