with being The original Taft man IN

IOWA'S GREAT COW
Iowa Records for Milk aud But
ter Fat Production.

Iowa has a famous COW Her re-
cord, made about ninety days ago,
stands as the best that has ever
been made by any COW on Iowa soil
She is a Holstein, owned by the
state agricultural college at Ames.
She was selected from the herd of
Mckay Brothers of Tama County,
Iowa, and purchased at cost of
S400. 0
During seven consecutive days in
March. she produced 1928 pounds
of milk. containing an amount OF
butter fat equivalent to more than
thirty four pounds of butter. Only
one COW in the entire world has ev-
CT produced more milk than this
within seven days, though nine have
beaten this record for butter fat.
She is now producing from ninety
to ninety-five pounds of milk daily,
worth, at current prices in the city
of Ames. about 1925. The aver
age cost of her feed is about thrir
ty-five cents per day, so that she is
earning a net profit ofnraely vgb
earning a net profit OF nearly So
per day.
There is standing offer of $500
for her calf, which is aout three
months old. And Mckay Brothers
from whom she was purchased, are
offering three fully matured cows
of the same strain of breeding in
exchange for said calf. 1t will pro
badly not be sold. The cows name
is Geneseo Belle Polkaaot 94s1o.

ASENSIBLE DEMAND
The Arch-Enemy of Prosperity
Abides with Us Still, Though
Ready to Vanish at the Peoples
Bidding.

The effect of the panic of 1907
us still felt, and judging by the past
industrial history of our nation,
within a few years another panic
will be due.
| 1t is time that the people of the
country were interesting them
seleves in the legislation which will
put an end forever to these finan-
| cial crises. Other nations have done
SO, and it colld be done as easily
here.
Whether it is due, to ignorance or
indifference, we are getting along
with one of the crudest banking
and monetary systems to be found
among the civilized nations of the
earth. This does not mean that
our banks are not sound, for as in
dividual institutions they rank high
in comparison with those of other
| countries. But there is no organi-
cation among them, and they can
not cooperate as is necessary in
times of emergency.
1t is absolutely certain that with
an elastic currency, such as can be
provided, and with an efficient or
ganization of the banks of the coun-
try, panics would become practically
impossible. And it is also certain
that when the people demand these
reforms, they will get them, and
probably not until then. Our ex-
perience has been bitter, and our
cup of woe has been repeatedly illet

Question of Preventing Future Mo

of Vital Consequence.
At the Republican National Con-

June Is, 1912, resolutions upon
adopted urging legislation which
banking and currency reform were
will prevent the recurrence Of mo-
ney panics and financial disturban-
ces and promote the prosperity OF
business and the welfare Of labor,
as follows:
"The Republican Party has always
stood for a sound currency and for
safe banking methods. 1t is respon-
sible for the resumption of specie
payments and for the establishment
of the gold standard 1t is commit
ted to the progressive development
TEN.
Our banking arrangements today
need further revision to meet the
requirements of current conditions.
We need measures which will pre-
vent the recurrence of money pa
mics and financial disturbances, and
which will promote the prosperity
of business and the welfare of labor
by producing constant employment.
We need better currency facili-
ties for the movement of crops in
the west and south. We need bank
ing arrangements under American
auspices for the encouragement and
better conduct of our foreign trade.
In attaining these ends, the indie
pendence of the individual banks,
whether organized under national
or state charters, must be carefully
protected, and our banking and cur
rency system must be safeguarded
from any possibility OF domination
by sectional, financial or political
interests
