tionored and Disappointed.

Gov. Ferris called Elk. Senator A. 3.
Cook to Lansing, Saturday, to tender
him an appointment as one of the com.
missioners from Michigan to join a
number OF delegates from other states
and members Of congress who will GO
abroad this week to investigate agricul,
tural conditions and particularly the
question of agricultural credits. The
Governor assured Mr.. Cook-on the
strength of a canvass made in the SEN
ate-that the house bill appropriating
~, 500 to pay the expenses of the com.
missioners would pass early this week
and that he could arrange for the trip
with that understanding. Later de-
velopments show that it is not wise 10

on Wednesday by vote of Is to 13
refused to make the appropriation,
largely because of the financial needs
of Michigan institutions and for the
further reason that many reports from
our ambassadors and representatives
covering the questions are already
available. Mr.. Cook expected TO start
Thursday morning for New York but
stated that he should not leave until
the apr opriation passed. AS it is Mr..
Cook has the satisfaction of knowing
that Gov Ferris considered him as a
good man to represent the state.

If all of the residents of the city who
really have pride in beautifying their
property, the streets, the school grounds
and other public places in Owosso could
have heard the address of E. G. Linde-
mann of Lansing, delivered at the
Brotherhood meeting in the Congre-
gational church Monday evening an
interest would have been awakened
which would mean much to Owosso as
home city. Mr.. Lindemann, who is
graduate of the M. A. c., and is a
landscape gardner who is rapidly COM
ing to the front in his profession be-,
cause he works along lines entirely
practical, urged immediate action be
taken to secure options on land to be
used later on for parks and Fairgrounds
that the unsightly places along tn
river banks be purchased and trans
ferred at small expense into beauty
spots which would attract the attention
of strangers coming into the city, that
shrubs be set about the school build.

bill boards carrying advertisements
which tend to give wrong ideas to the

gestions as to the planting of trees and
shrubs in the streets and about the
homes. SO entertaining was his talk of
nearly two hours that all disliked to
have him stop and at the close he was
under constant fire of questions until
he left the building, 1t is hoped he
will come again. An informal lunch
and social time followed the address

MAID HENRY's RECORD HIGH.
Old Cow at Il. 5. n. c. Produces 516
Pounds of Butter Eat.

Manhattan, Kan, JAN 22--N oW
YOU can have the official figures on
Maid Henry. Maid, as you know, is
the phenomenal COW at the Kansas
Agricultural college, who, though she
is thirteen years old and carries a
mans name. still is making records
in milk production. Her fiscal year, or
some such year, ended few days ago.
The figures at the dairy departm ent
disclose the fact that Maid Henry gave
almost ten tons of milk last year
$4,000 pounds, to be exact She pro-
duced 716 ponds of butter fat which
is equivalent to $50 pounds of butter.
And her average test throughout the
year was 3-65 per cent.
The most remarkable thing about
this record is that Maid Henry is an
old COW and, ordinarily, should have
retired from active life several years
ago. But she just insists upon giving
milk According to Malcolm Gardner,
superintendent of the Holstein Ad-
vanced Registry, no Holstein COW as
old as Maid Henry, so far as his rec
ords show, ever produced ZIG pounds
of butter fat in a year.
Maid Henry finished the year IN
good condition, in fact she is in as
healthy, or better. than a year ago.
She will rear another calf this year.
Her ration consisted of corn chop,
bran oil meal, and cottonseed meal,
alfalfa hay and silage. She had all
the alfalfa hay and silage she could
eat, and in addition, ate about one
pound of grain for every four pounds
of milk produced daily.

KANsANs WIN MORE PRIZES.
Scholarships Worth $500 Each Go to
n s. A. G. Men.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 22.-Another
s4OO scholarship has been awarded to
a dairy student at the Kansas Agricui-
tural college. OF six scholarships
given at the national dairy show in
the last two years to students from
fifteen states, Kansas young men have
taken two. O. I. Oshel, a senior stu
dent in the Agricultural college, re-
ceived notice this morning that he had
been awarded the $500 prize offered
by the American Jersey Cattle club.
This scholarship may be used to pay
expenses for graduate work in dairy
ing in any school except the one from
which the student graduates. r. b.
Musser. another Kansas boy, won a
$500 scholarship last year as the best
Judge of Holstein cattle. He is APP
plying his $500 to study in the Univer-
sity of Missouri.
Oshel was second man in judging
Jerseys at the show last fall, but the
winner of first place, a Michigan man,
refused the scholarship, so it then was
offered to the Kansas student.

KILLED IN BATTLE, He GETS PICTURE
Kansan at Last Acquitted OF
Being Spy.
Eighteen Months Ago He Took
Pictures of Soldiers.

| Pittsburg Kan, Jan. PA year ago
last summer two distinguished Kan
sans were travelling in Europe. one
was a rich newspaper editor, VINO was
writing letters home to ms paper, laeea
| to be put in d book. The other was
| an audicious citizen who was collect
! ing moving picture films of the royaitS
and the roughnecks of the Old WorIu'
The first mentioned was the sm1llnS
! W. Y. Morgan, of the Hulchlnsoh
News, and the other was clarence N
Price of Pittsburg. In this little mar
ratiye MI. Morgan appears in his pro-
per role-the reporter-and MI Price
the hero of a situation that at least
may be said to have possessed certain
melodramatic features
Morgan and Price were not travel
ing together But one day Morgan
and his note book drifted into Berlin
and got busy. There he found that
a part of the I>aiser's army was go
ing to go through some maneuVers
one day and he want out to the town
ball park or wherever the parade was
to be, to see how the German boys
stacked up beside the Hutchinson COM
pany of the Kansas national guard
He was getting his eyes and his note
book full when he noticed a persistent
fellow with some sort of an apparatus
which he kept pointed at the soldiers.
This individual kept shooting away at
the flower of the German army for
a good while when Morgan saw a de-
tail advance upon him, seize his IN
strument and march him away.
They Thought Price Il Spy.
Morgan soon learned that the persist
ent individual was Price and he had
secured a splendid film of the soldiers
when the abrupt interruption came.
OF course Price was not detained long
but his fine film was confiscated. Nor
gan sent the news home.
Mr. Price left his address with the
German authorities and told them that
he would be pleased to get even few
inches of the film some time for a
keepsake. Six months later he re
ceived d package which contained 600
feet of the film. Two hundred feet
had been kept and that piece of 200
feet bore the picture OF the soldiers
on parade The Germans were not sure
that the Pittsburg man wasn't spy.
Now Mr.. Price has just received an
other little package from Berlin by
way of the custom house. He opened
it and found the missing 200 feet OF
film showing the soldiers. And so,
after Is months, the German govern
ment has officially held the Pittsburg
man guiltless-has decided that he
was not an American spy.
