Dairy Products.
II number of farms in North
Carolina reporting dairy COWS on
April IS, 1910. was 1865, but only
l46,626 reported dairy products in
1909. That there should be this diff
terence is not surprising. DOUBTLESS
somef arIners who had dairy COWS in
1910 had none in 1909, while other
arme neglected to give information
fCr the preceding year, OF were I'M
able to do so perhaps because the
farm was then in other hands. Dairy
products IN general are somewhat less
accurately reported THAI the princi-
pal crops. This is particularly the
case as regards the quantity Of milk
produced. The number Of farms
which made any report Of milk pro-
duced during 1909 was 143,711 (some-
What less than the total number re-
porting dairy products), and the num-
Der Of dairy cows o. such farms on
April Is, 1910, was 263, 900. The

200 gallons; assuming that there were
the same n of cOwS in 1909 us
in 1910. this would represent an aver
age Of 314 gallons per cow. In con
sidering this average, however, it
should be borne in mind hat the
quantity of milk reported is probably
deficient n that the distinction be-
tween dairy and other cows is not al
ways strictly observed in the ensus
eturns.
BY reason Of the incompleteness OF
the returns for milk produced, the

Early in the day c. c.. Haynes, tn

streets with his dearly beloved old

for 10, these many years, and with
four prancing steeds Charley felt
like a boy again with the ribbons
and whip. The appearance of the
stage was a reminder Of other
days before tho railway had made
its triumphal entry into Shoshone
and the youngsters enjoyed the ride
to and from the grounds in this
relic of days long gone. Every one
appreciated the kindness of Mr..
Haynes in contributing so much to
the enjoyment of the day.
The horses were supplied by
Frank Glenn and Noble Davis, to
whom thanks are also due.
Senator? C. F. Borden had his
big team in commission and with
others including Harry Anderson
and his frisky Shetland pony and
rig, there was nolackofaccomoda-

describe the dinner, King George
the Fifth never sat down to such
repast, and the way the gourmands
ate, one would think some Of them
had tasted for a fortnight, but that
is what they were there for.
After dinner the first number
was the baby show.

R00SENEIT'S ACTION WENT
LONG WAY TOWARD LOSING
HIM THE NOMINATION.

Frank T. Disney returned the
first of the week from Chicago
where he had been visiting and
attending the National Republican
Convention.
He was at every session of the
Convention and states that most
of it was very exciting and at times
the noise was so great that no bus
mess at all could be transacted.
Every precautiOn was taken to
prevent rioting and at all times
there were from five hundred to
one thousand policemen patrolling
the aisles of the building ready to
quell any disturbances that might
arise. A few times blows were
struck but the participants were
Immediately separated.
During the last two days of the
Convention the Roosevelt followers
provided themselves with whistles
initiating those used by a steam
railway and whenever Chairman
Root would make a ruling these
whistles would be heard in the diff
ferent parts of the large building.
The principal tactics used by the
Roosevelt enthusiasts seemed to
be noise This was the case both
inside the convention building and
about the streets and in the hotels.
There were but few demonstrations
for President Taft during the first
two or three days of the conven-
ton and Roosevelt badges and
Teddy hats were sold by hundreds
of street fakirs, but after the con-
vention was organized and it was
proved that Taft had a majority
in the convention, the tide turned
and Taft demonstrations were made
on all sides and in the place Of
Teddy hats and banners being Of
fered for sale upon the streets,
there were elaborate pictures Of
'our president and next president"
sold everywhere.
After Roosevelt bolted the conven-
tion all enthusiasm for him seemed
to cease and the crowd at the men
tion of his name would call
gutter" and jeer. Mr.. Roosevelt's
undignified action in Chicago went
long way toward losing him the
nomination and lowering him in the
estimation Of the American people.
Senator Root made an ideal presid-
ing officer and no act of his was
criticised by even those who oppos-
ed his position.
Mr.. Disney believes that Roose-
velt's efforts to organize a third
party will have but little result and
that President Taft will be reflect
ed by a substantial majority.

GLADSTONE RUNS ON
PLATFORM Of
HIS OWN

POCATELLO, July 1. In con-
versation with a Tribune man, Mr..
ClsgstOne said that he was disa-
pointed that the Republican state
platform adopted at Boise last weel
was not more progressive" He
declared his intention of ignoring
some of the planks as set forth and
progressive lines advocated by him
in the past.
In the whole platform, said
Mr.. Clagstone, "the only issue upon
which the convention expressed it
self clearly and unmistakably was
in the matter of the endorsement
If the present local option laws.
am disappointed that the conven-
tion proved so vague upon real pro-
gressiVe measures. In the stand TAX
en- by the convention regarding the
workmans' compensation act, the
platform is especially vague and
only paves the way for more legis-
lation similar to the present en-
ployers' liability bill, which is prac-
tically worthless"
Mr.. Clagstone declared that he
regretted the action of the convent
ion in defeating the tax and public
utilities commission planks as ad-
and declared that the platform in
its entirety was too vague. The
Democratic platform is open to the
same objection.
Before this campaign is ended"
said Mr.. Clagstone, I'VE will have
something to say about the way
the Democrats have disregarded the
primary law and prepared slate
Following the Democratic platform
convention at Boise last week, a
few of the leaders of the Great
Unterrified, got together and frame
up a slate that they will force down
the throats of the people of the
Gem State Instead of a fair and
open field for gubernatorial aspir-
ants, they have kept every man out
of he field except Governor Haw-
ley. The same is ne of most of
the other state offices. We have
had chance % test out the pri-
mary law in thisstate twice, and
both times the Democrats have dis
its plain provision. l do
not believe that sort of thing will
meet with approval of the peo-
ple."

NELSON RUNNING AS
COUNTY DIV1SI0NIST

The division of Lincoln county
at this time" said County Commis-
sioner C. C. Nelson, would seem
to be proper and right, and being a
candidate for reelection l am pre-
pared to stand on that platform be-
fore the people. Division may be
accomplished now more cheap
ly than at any future time. The
land records will soon be formidabl
in that one item alone. All say
that III this most rapidly growing
section of the state now lying
within the bounds of Lincoln cOun-
ty there will be a population within
few years ample for even more
county units than are now de-
manded, and at every recurring
election, if we do not act now, the
question will come up again.
- believe that with the centers
Of population so widely separated
as they are now and always viii be
with the irreclaimable regions ly-
Ing between them, division is the
right and practical thing for the

seat. There will be three splendid
counties in the sisterhood and

The Richfield Recorder, whose
editor, Charles J. Lisle, was form
er resident of Shoshone,pay fine
tribute to one of the candidates
now before the people of Lincoln
county in the following reference
to Candidate C. F. Borden:
He is a business man not pol
itician, and it was only after per-
sistent solicitation he con-
sented to run. Mr.. Borden was for
some years a member of the Sho-
shone village board, and was honor
ed with the craftsmanship. He is a
clean, capable man, one of the best
