Grass does not in any way resem-
BILE milk. Yet this queen of Amer
ica's farms eats little grass, drinks
some water and makes milk. Sci
entists have never been able to tell
us just how she does it. We must
therefore call it a mystery.
The COW came to this country
shortly after Columbus discovered
it. She has been here ever since
When our ancestors became tired
of the Eastern States and sought
new homes upon the western prai-
ries the COW was meek and faith
full companion. In accompanying
those pioneers westward she fol
lowed behind an immigrant wagon
that was pulled by her sons. She
lived upon the grasses by the way
side and gave milk that nourished
our forefathers. Since then she
has always stood by" and has
made civilization in the West pos
sible. She is still faithful. We
proudly call her Americas queen.
Should we lose her we would not
know what to do to keep up the
fertility of our land. We need
her. And today wherever there's
a COW there's home."
When we awake in the morning
and look around the room we see
plaster upon the walls. It is held
in place and strengthened by the
cows hair. Our buttons and our
combs are made from her horns.
| Our shoes are made from her skin.
For breakfast we eat some corn
flakes which she helped to produce
| by adding fertility to- the soil. We
drink a glass of her milk and put
a little of her cream on our break
fast food and into our coffee. We
then eat a slice OF bacon, some
cream gravy and some scrambled
eggs, all of which the COW helped
to produce by furnishing the skim
milk. We look around the table
and see children whose foster
mother she is. We finish our
mornings meal by eating little
cheese, some steak and some hot
cream biscuits covered with h
layer of butter which she has pro
yided for us.
For our MONDAY meal we may
4at soup made from her tail or her
shank, and also some of her rOasl
beef. We finish this meal by eat

OLDEST TWINS
IN THE WORLD
Celebrate Their Birth Anniversary
On Christmas Day---Iiaye
Reached Their Ninety
Third Year.

Monday was the ninety-third
birthday of the oldest twins in the
United States, Samuel and Will
liam Muncy, of Babylon, L. 1.
Four generations helped them to
celebrate their natal day and
Christmas.
Born on the property which
their respective homes now oocu-
Ply, the brothers have lived side
by side practically throughout
their long lives. Each married
young, each had eight children
and each tor many years has been
a widower. Both are Prohibition
lists of the most pronounced type
and neither uses tobacco. With
the exception of waning eyesight,
neither twin has seriously felt the
march of time. Both are intel
lectually keen, and relatives are
always ready to give them the
current news.
Both men at an early age learn
ed trades, but they soon drifted o
the farm. When they were net
tiliing the soil they were fishing
in the bay close by. They are
among the most active members
of the Babylon Methodist Church
DIR. Thomas Electric Oil is
the best remedy for that often
fatal disease-croup. Has been
used with success in our family
for eight years. "-NIr. l.. White.

MARKET TURNS
OYER AT CLOSE
Dull osy IN Lsst Few Hours Become
Active With Prices Reach
Ton Notch.

NEW YORK. March 1f.-For the
greater part OF today's session on the
stock exchange business vas dull and
prices Irregular. except for manipul
alton In some of the minor speciaities
m low priced issues. In the last
hour, however. the market reversed
It's position and broadened out under
e OF the speculative favorities.
some OF which went 10 q new high
level for the present movement. while
Amalgamafed copper sold at It's high
est price In considerably over a yeaer.
There was no news to account for the
sudden change OF a sentiment other
than the prospects OF a general adj
n In prices Of iron and steel pro-
ducts and encouraging advices deal
Ing with crop conditions. The gener-
al labor situation at home and abroad
was without material change except
for some betterment In the New Eng
land mill towns. II IL not unlikely
that the agreement OF the finance COM
mittee to report adversely on the
house steel and metal schedule also
was a helpful factor Activity was
maintained until the end, the business
OF the last hour almost exceeding that
OF the rest of the session with closing
prices at or near the top.
| n connection with the further rise
OF the ~specialties, there were rumors
OF increased dividend disbursements.
but for the most part these were ac-
cepted with reserve. IL was well
known that some of the minor indus
trial companies are In better shape
1than a-year ago.. while others are in
far less satisfactory condition.
There were grain specific reasons
for h further advance OF such stocks
as International Harvester, the cop
pers and American Smelling. Semi
official statements indicated that Har-
westerns d-isintegration will soon be an
nounced and the copper industry con-
tinues to work in the direction OF high
er prices for the metal. Increased
strength in American Telephone and
Telegraph was concurrent with re-
ports OF a demand for the stock In
Paris. where II is listed on the Bourse.
Bonds were active. but reflected
little OF the stock markets strength,
except in Fries. Total sales par value
