Monterey orght- to have Com
mercial Club or Board Of Trade.
Many villages have them and they
are doing good work. We do net
mean that such an o"g4n'z sfinn
should work for the town atone but
with its officers here members from
various sections of the county much
could be done to boost the county,
and. incidentally, the county scat.
To conclude that the town is too
small for such an organization Is to
show lack of faith and goth cen
turv enterprise and progress.
We find an object lesson IN tie
perseverance shown by the owners
of timber and mineral lands. They
are untiring in their efforts to bring
such holdings to the attention Of
parties whom they naturally sup
pose are interested in such lines If
investments. Their efforts, as we
say, is persistent and untiring, and
finally lead to the desired results.
Monterey and Highland county
possess attractions of which the big
world around us is in large meas
ure ignorant. There arefortunes to
be made out of the latent resources
there isroom for many enterprises
not thought of by the average lay
man, such as creameries, tannerles,
summer hotels, ice plants, laun-
dries etc. Then there is her one
browning, tangible asset an unsur-
passed summer climate-mhich, in
itself, is destined to prove more
valuable than even the most en-
thusiastic now dream of. The only
way to realize on this asset is to
place it on the market, and that
can only be done by getting our
people awake and educating them
to undertake big things for the town
and county.
A Commercial Club to take the
initiative in such matters would be
of inestimable value in the 'devel-
opment of our resources and the
accomplishment of desired ends.
Let the business and professional
men of the village perfect such an
organization, with representative,
public-spirited men from the vsri-
Gus sections of the county. and,
properly handled and managed, it
would do much good in many ways.

COMING AND GGMG

Each succeeding summer season
should give fresh impetus to the
good road propagandain Highland
especially in the minds OF those
who believe in the real issue be-
hind that doctrine.
In spite of present adverse con,
ditions highways>that are cursed
with sand-6eds and back breaking
understanding water-ditches =
numerous auto parties find their
way into the county each year, ana
the lament of all who come or
pass is, shat they cannot recommend
the route to others.
A gentleman of intelligence who
recently spent ten days in Monte
rey was heard to echo, almost YER
batim, the sentiments so long ad-
vocated by the Recorder, VIZ:
that Highland county's greatest
tangible asset was her summer Gil
mate; that, this being true. the
business and aim of her ottlclals
and people should be to realize on
that asset. and the one way to do
it was to make it accessible, place
it on the Market" by providing
the lest possible means OF lngress
and egress. The man who fails to see
it that way should use some sort OF
eve opener a 10th century tonic -
for it is the gospel of truth and
common sense. We make no apol-
| gy for preaching it, over and over
again, and we re-assert the claim
that the most important question
before the people of the county at
this time is that Of providing a
good road as an outlet, and ade'
quate for present-day travel and
transr ortation.
As suggested elsewhere in this
issue, there is urgent need for some
sort. of organization of business
men m n VIII rse faith and fore
sight will prompt them to under
take large things-because the per-
sistent work of such men will has
ten the era of the "Greater High
land" that is inevitable, and not
far ahead of us.

His Mind.

Wilson Baker, a prosperous farmer
residing one mile and a half west of
Pittsville, Md, killed his young wife
with a shotgun and then walked out
into the field a hundred yards from his
home and ended his life with the same
gun.
Baker, it is said, had been drinking
heavily since the strawberry season
and had several times quarreled with
his wife, occasioned by jealousy. The
wife went about getting breakfast, and
while at this work the husband enter
ed the kitchen with a double-barreled
shotgun and without warning shot his
wife down. She died almost instantly.
After chasing his four boys to shell
ter in a ad rush to kill them, the
man ran t. nearby field and commit
ted suicide with the same weapon.
Bakers ten-year-old son Frank s'ood
at his side when he killed his wife.
The child thought it was joke until
his mother fell to the floor dead. Hi.
shrieks as he fed warned his brothers
OF their danger and all found safety
in the barn.
The murderer is about siXty-Gv'
years old and the woman he kille'
was his second wife. For soLce tim
Baker had been Jealous of his WI
without foundation the neigh. ors sa
He was superstitious ana mad consul
ed gypsy fortune teller, who to-
him that man WHO frequently pa S.
the house would take his wife ava
from him. This is believed to hay
made him temporarily inGsne.

There Is Money In Butter Making.

tain the best results it Is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be Of the strict dairy
type, and be made a permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase COWS with the intention OF
milking them but a short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat in her bes'
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary Importance, If not
entirely ignored
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase a dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.

HOW IT WORKS

1t was a hot summer day. 1t
was also dusty. One hundred and
fifty men were driving from town
to town in Central Kansas, in autos
on trade extention tour They
were Kansas men-merchants, law
yers, doctors, editors, clerks, me-
chanics, bankers andfarmers. From
time to time they stopped at thir-
teen towns during the days run.
No one in the crowd spoke OF
beer. No one at the thirteen towns
offered anyone'any beer. At most
OF the towns there were great deep
stone jars of iced lemonade on the
sidewalks with bright tin cups
hanging from the jars, and a sign
up, "Welcome, Emporians." There
was no whisky, beer or wine in the
crowd.
No one missed it. No one spoke
of it. For these men ranging from
thirty to sixty, had lived in Kan
sas thirty years under absolute pro-
hibition. Most of them had never
been in a saloon in their home town
in their lives. Booze was as remote
from their consciousness as carbolic
acid. Booze is not in the Kansas
scheme of things. No one thinks
tfit. It's presence or absence is
not considered by the Kansas mind.

KIND OF COWS TO BUY

Importance.

By E A MARKHAM, Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
Il is not difficult to find men, even
In the most prosperous dairy com
munities, who do not believe that
dairying pays. They have tried 1t and
failed. Some have purchased good
STOCK but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-
vented them from getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest
number of these failures are due to
the use Of animals that are not
adapted to dairying.
Those who purchase a few COWS
when the price of butter fat is high
and sell them off when the price goes
down naturally have a rather poor
opinion Of the dairy business. To OBJ

Use the Clipners.

The clipping of horses and mules in
the spring is generally conceded to be
beneficial. The clipped animals not
only appear better and are easier
cleaned, but they dry off quickly at
night, get good rest and are more Wig
orous and thrifty.
Dairymen now regularly clip the
tanks and udders Of COWS every three
or four weeks. 1t is easy to wipe of
the parts then before milking and in
sures clean, uncontaminated milk.
