Companion of Missing Hammond Girl
Tells of Gary Experience. Auto
Owner is Quizzed.

The Gary police are fully convinced

a motor car, which he confesses was the
one in which the Hammond girls rode.
He claims to have left Rosa Ryan at
Sixth and Broadway at eleven o'clock
on the evening of November 80. Since
then she has not been seen or heard of.
When Barnhart was taken into GUS
today in Gary he turned pale and ask
ed that nothing be said TO his wife.
Companion Tells Story.
Della Graves of Hammond, the COM
panion of Rosa Ryan told her story
today. She claims to have bolted the
party from fright at the untoward con-
duct of the three men in whose COM
pany she had visited Bee Burke's and
Murphy's roadhouses. The police o1
Hammond and Gary are both of the
opinion that Rosa Ryan has been held
secreted for ten days in Gary fiat oi

District Chairman Charles

Declines Offer of Anti

Lafayette. Ind. Dec. 11.-Tippecanoe
county democrats, when they learned
yesterday that Charles Murphy, dis
trict chairman, had set the meeting
place of the district convention at
Hammond. realized that the conven-

der that the present chairman might
have the help of Lake county in his
fight to retain j is position.
Looks to Lake County.
1t is understood here that Murphy
looks to Lake county to furnish his
principal strength in theh convention
contest. although he expects White,
his home county, to do it's part for him.
Tippecanoe county's twenty-nine votes,
it is believed, will nearly all be against
Murphy. That is the assertion of the
anti-Murphy men here now and they
are busily engaged in making good
that statement. If Tippecanoe can send
a solid anti-Taggart machine deiega-
ton to Hammond 1t is believed other
counties will send enough anti-machine

form of silage and roots to replace the
June grasses-who shall say that
Bossy will not make ample returns in
the milk pail?
In nothing have most farmers so
sinned against their herds, probably,
as in the inadequate shelter pro-
vided them against winters cold
and the hot sun of summer Warm,
well-lighted and ventilated stables are
essential to a high rate of production.
A sanitary barn should have from four
to six square feet of window space for
each COW kept. Where COWS are kept
in the stalls much of the time, it is
not unreasonable to say that the barn
should be light enough for one to read
in. Good ventilation is essential; but
it should be so arranged that the cows
shall not be exposed to a draught.
while warmth without ventilation is
conductive to disease, ventilation with,
out heat is a consumer of feed" The
rage of temperature in the barn
should be kept between 40 and 60 de-
grees F. In summer, the shades
should be pulled down, lest the we'll
lighted barn become too warm. They
will also keep out the flies. 1t is we'll
to have gunny sacks hung in the door
way, so that, as the COW forces her
way through, the flies will be brushed
off her back.
Nowhere on the farm is cleanliness
more desirable than in the dairy barn.
Stalls and calf-pens should be kept
free from filth and moisture. Plenty
of bedding should be used at all times,
and the pens cleaned out frequently.
If the calf pen is not a large one, it
should be cleaned out every day. In
the cutters, it is well to use common
Stacked lime, or wood ashes, as an alb.
sorbent.
Cows should not be kept in ian ice
house, a hog pen or a dungeon" A
dark, damp and dirty place is very
favorable to the growth of bacteria,
which may attack the health of the
animals. Plenty of sunlight keeps the
place dry, purifies the air, and kills
bacteria.
When kept in the barn, cows should
be brushed daily, not only to keep the
dirt and hair from falling into the
milk pail, but to keep the pores of the
skin open. This makes the COW more
comfortable, and it cannot be too often
repeated that anything done to add to
the comfort of the COW adds to her
productiveness.

1t has become an axiom, with some
dairy men, that the best results are
obtainable only with the best breeds
of animals. But success with such
animals implies also the best manage
ment; and not every beginner is capa-
BILE of the skillful handling necessary
with high-bred COWS. The higher we
go in the scale Of animal life the
more delicate the animal mechanism
becomes, and the greater the need OF
wisdom in the human agency which
controls its movements. 1t is long
time before baby can care for itself
as we'll as can a bronco colt at one
day old A bronco colt can stand
more simple hardship and abuse than
can colt of a standard high-bred trot-
ting mare or a high-clas draft ami
NAL but the bronco will never have
the great speed, at the trot, of the
standardized, nor will it grow large
enough to have the power of the
drafter. The scrubby native COW can
stand more hardship and abuse than
a highly-developed dairy COW capable
of doing great work, and the latter
loses her superior commercial value in
unfavorable surroundings and under
unfavorable treatment.
1t is found, therefore, that success
in dairying depends as much on the
kind of care and management be-
slowed on the herd, as upon the
breed. Care and management are, for
this reason, given the first considera-
ton here. These should include a
much greater degree of attention to
the comfort Of the animals than is
ordinarily bestowed. In fact, it can
be demonstrated that the nearer we
come to applying the Golden Rule
to the treatment of the dairy herd,
and treating its members as we would
like to be treated, the larger will be
the satisfaction and rewards of dairy
ing.
These are the touchstones of sue
cess. When the COW is comfortable
and contented, she responds with a
flow of milk far in excess of that
which she gives when she has been
uncomfortable and irritated.
Everybody knows that In June
weather COWS give larger amount of
milk than in cold and wintry weather.
If we aim to produce, all the rest of
the year, in stall and barn. conditions
as nearly as possible like those of June

flies, ETC., with succulent food in the

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BlACKHEADS

For pimples and blackheads the fol
lowing is a most effective and eco
aomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts with Cuticura Oint-
ment, on the end Of the finger, but
do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in FIVE minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
Bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment is best on rising and retiring.
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as
sist in preventing Inflammation, irri-
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheads,
Tedness and roughness, yellow, oily,
mothy and other unwholesome condi-

CAUSE OF THRUSH
IN HORSES FEET
Trouble Due Frequently by AMI
NAL Standing in Filthy Stall
and too Dry Floors.

By M H. REYNOLDS, Veterinarian,
University Farm. st. Paul. MIMI
This trouble is due quite frequently
to standing in manure or other filth,
which alters the condition of the horn
and may be accompanied or followed
by infection. Long continued stand
ing on very dry floors may lead di-
rectly to this trouble. In some cases
thrush seems to be associated with
contraction. The frogs in horses feet
need exercise just the same as any
other part of the body. When horse
Is shod with high heel and toe calks,
or the wall is allowed to grow down
very long and the horse stands on a
board floor without getting frog pres
sure, the condition of the frog is i'm
paired and it easily becomes subject
to infection and disease.
Such cases need clean, dry stall.
The hoof should be properly trimmed;
the diseased parts removed as thor
oughly as possible; and strong dis
infectant used over the sole of the
foot. Any of the coal-tar disinfectants
may be used in full strength, or even
pure carbolic acid, care being taken
that the disinfectant does not run
down the heel and burn the skin.
After this first strong disinfectant
calomel is a very satisfactory treat
ment for ordinary cases. The caloMei
can be busted over the diseased sur
face and then some thick clay applied
over the entire sole of the foot.

STEPS INTO HIS BOSS JOB

Representative John A. Key of
Marion, Ohio, is not the first private
secretary. to a congressman to step
into his boss job in the house, but it
is a rare enough thing when it does
happen. John Key was secretary of
the late Representative Carl Ander-
son for four years, and learned
enough of the practical side of politics
to get twice as many votes as his
Republican opponent last fall.
Key takes his place now with a
fine and distinguished line of former
secretaries. For instance, Senator
Morris Sheppard of Texas, who went
to the upper house March 4, was once
secretary to his father in the house of
representatives. Governor Cox of
Ohio, once a representative, started
in to do big things when he was sec
rotary to p. ]. Sorg, the tobacco man.
Representative A. T. Smith of Idaho
walked out of the late Senator Hey
burns office right into his seat in the
house. He had been secretary to the
