COOPERATIVE cow TESTING
ASSOCIATION FORMED

Kansas got its first cooperative
COW testing association this week. A
group OF farmers near Abilene. under
the direction of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, have organized the
Dickinson County Pioneer Cow Test
ing Association and 1t already is do
ing business. The purpose Of such
associations is to keep records OF the
cows owned by the members. The
association hires a man to visit each
farm one day out Of every month.
ae weighs the milk Of every COW and
tests 1t; weighs the feed, too, aud re-
cords all of these operations for one
day. With this information at hand
a farmer can calculate, readily, the
profit or loss made by every COW in
his herd. r
To finance tAe association every
member pays one dollar a year for
every COW he owns This money goes
to pay the salary OF the man who
does the testing and for other incl
dental expenses. The association al
Abilene is organized on the basis Of
400 cows. A man already has been
hired to do the testing and he is max
ing his rounds now for the first time.
1--WE hope to have more of these
associations in Kansas, said 0. r,
Reed, head OF the dairy department.
They will help to raise the low av-
erage milk production OF the Kansas
COW. There are two reasons for this
low average production. Either the
-ow is not naturally good milk pro-
Queer or she is not properly fed.
There is only one way to discover tina
poor mixer and that is to get hel
record. The practicable way to build
up dairy herd is to begin with or
dinar& cows, securing first class
Jull of one, of the dairy breeds, and
tnen save the heller calves from only
the best cows"

rHE USE OF POLAR EXPEDITIONS

On reading the heroic story OF
Capt. Scott and companions the aver
age man denounces polar exploration
as phase of hysteria. He feels such
travellers should be harmlessly occu-
pied at home collecting sea shells and
rock chips.
This may seem practical common
sense. Yet let 1t be remembered
that the fisheries Of Spitzbergen
brought comfort and prosperity to
many seafaring towns of England
ans Holland. The discovery of Hud-
sons bay, a perilous enterprise, led
to the forming of the prosperous
company of that name. The expedi-
ton to Ross land led to the estab-
lishment of the Baffin's bay whaling
industry.
Arctic fisheries still enrich Nor
way. The fossil ivory of Arctic ST.
IBERIA brings wealth to Russia. These
industries could never have existed II
early scientists had had the stay-at-
home spirit. In his day Columbus
was looked upon by all sensible per-
sons as more or less of lunatic.
These vast lands OF mystery may
contain treasures OF metals or OF ami
NAL life, that may greatly add to the
resources of the human race. But it
is no doubt fortunate that there are
men OF a certain type who are will
ing from unmercenary motives, to
devote their very life blood to the
exploration of Natures darker mys-
teries.
Scientific discovery has revolution
ICED human thought. The changed
attitude toward human life, God, and
the universe, is due to study of the
records left in animal life and re-
mains, and | hearth formations. This
story will always be incomplete un-
til the great chapters that lie locked
in the ice Businesses of north and
south are made manifest.
Polar exploration has been. too
much a mere sporting competition
to reach one given point. The true
value comes in filling the gaps In
mans knowledge as to the processes
Of creation and evolution.

THE KNOW HOW
To Feed Children and Get Good Results

There are more nervous persons
made so by undigested food lying II
the stomach than the average individ-
ual would suppose.
If food remains undigested in the
stomach, it begins to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion is thus con-
verified into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation o.

Smith FLEES GEORGIA
TO ESCAPE FAITHFUL
Office Seekers Are IRSatia-
BILE

Atlanta, March Ex-senator Hoke
Smith came to town yesterday for a
brief rest of few days and to look af
ter some private business affairs. In
cidentally, it is said, he came to see
if there was any way to straighten out
the muddle as regards the district at
torneyship for the northern district.
The afternoon papers heralded his
arrival on the front page, embellish-
ed with interviews and rapid-fre pic
lures, etc. One slipped in paragraph
to the effect that the junior senator
was at his home on West Peachtrca
and would be very glad to see his
friends and supporters.
The paper was hardly on the street
before the sidewalks out towards West
Peachtree were damned with treking
friends and patriots. They came sing
ly, in pairs, in tours and Fights, in
mobs almost The house, front porch
and yard was filled with them.
Wanting jobs?
Utterly ridiculous! Of course, none
of them wanted jobs. They just came
along to see the senator and talk over
Washington affairs, etc, etc. Neigh
bors do say that lights were burning
in the Smith mansion until wee sma'
hours this morning and voices lifted
in supplication and earnest beseecn-
ings could be heard on the night air.
At any rate, it seems that the faith
full have made it so hot for Senator
Smith that he will cut short his in
tended stay until the latter part Of
the week and beat it back to Washing
ton tomorrow afternoon.
It's fine to see your friends and sup
porters, of course, but some times the
seeing may bring incidental worries
and frets.
Whether or not the reporter intend
ed, he certainly did go a long ways
towards making Senator Smiths brief
stay in our midst lively and busy-if
not altogether happy and interesting.

PART OF HUEGUENIN PLACE
INVOLVED IN LITIGATION
Both Claimants Barred BY
Injunction

Litigation growing out of the rights
of rival claimants to large tract Of
timber land in Sumter county, when
is a portion of the former Huguenin
plantation on Flint river is pending
and injunction proceedings upon the
part of two claimants to these lands
have been instituted in the superior
court here.
A petition for injunction was first
filed by the Southern States Naval
Stores Company, Of Savannah, against
the Stackhouse Land Company, which
row owns the Huguenin plantation, re-
straining the latter company from in
reference upon the part of the naval
stores company in working the timber
upon the disputed lands for turpentine
purposes. Judge Littlejohn granted
the restraining order desired and an
nounced Saturday, April 9Th, as the
date of hearing for permanent injunc-
ton, the case to be argued at Ameri-
Gus.
Yesterday, Mr. w W. Dykes, as at
torney for the Stackhouse Land Com>
pany, filed a petition for injunction re-
straining the Southern States Naval
Stores Company from operating upon
the disputed lands until the first case
is disposed of on April 5th, ten da IS
hence. This order was likewise grant
ed by Judge Littlejohn, and both
claimants to the lands, the Southern
States Naval Stores Company and the
Stackhouse Land Company, are re-
strained from operating the timber,
or otherwise using the land, until the
injunction proceedings are disposed
of.
The lands involved in the litigation
are located about sixten miles east Of
Americas and are among the finest
timbered lands in Sumter county. The
interests at issue are said to be worth
more than $4,000, being the turpentine
deposits on ten lots of land.

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED
WHILE WALKING IN SLEEP
StrOllS Down Cellar Stairs In Her
Home, Striking Matches.

Washington, N. j., March 26.-While
fast aslep Miss Mary H. Miller. 80
years old, arose from her bed this
morning, procured some matches. de-
seconded the cellar stairs, striking
them as she went, acidentIy set fire to
her clothing and was fatally burned.
She was discovered shortly after
o'clock and died three hours later.
Miss Miller for several months has

When her aged father, l.. w. Miller

DO SOUTHERN WOMEN WANT
A FEDERAL SUFFRAGE LAW?

Are we ready for that?" asked one
member of the Era club, when a re.
quest was read from the chairman Of
a committee of the National Woman
Suffrage association to pass a resolu-
ton asking congress to pass an amend
ment to the constitution giving suff-
rage to women on equal terms with
men.
There was breathless silence for
moment; the club was somewhat taken
aback, and not quite sure what was
meant. The letter from Washington
had been greeted with enthusiasm. Ii
was strange to find one Of the most ar
dent and tireless leaders in the cause
holding back from an endorsement of d
measure which might win the fight f0r
suffrage in all the states at once.
"A resolution to that effect was pu.
before the representatives of all the
suffrage associations which took part
in the parade, at our meeting in Con-
tinental hall" said one member OF
the "On to Washington" committee.
and was passed unanimously"
Did the Louisiana delegation vote
for it?" asked the first speaker.
'Certainly-everybody did"
You did not realize, then, that this
amendment, if passed and ratified by
two-thirds of the states, would do away
with the power of each state to regu-
late its voting privileges-to impose
educational and property qualifications
to keep out the ignorant and dangerous
negro vote, which in some Southern
states outnumbers the white 16 to Il?
You did not see that when we ask that
the constitution be amended so that no
one can be disfranchised on he ground
of sex, We reopen the color question
Do we want that? Will it not cost
us more than We can gain by refusing
to wait the action of the separate
states?"
Well" said one member, "the men
seem to have gotten around the matter
of the negro man voting satisfactorily
cant the negro woman voter be han
died in the same way. If it's a mattes
of states rights, I'm willing to take
my United States rights and let it 20
at that"
The speaker was applauded, but an
other speaker reminded them: MANY
even yet consider that the United
States have no right to bestow the
suffrage on citizens of state. There
is at least one court decision in which
the authorities have gone on record as
declaring they have no such right. Let
us be very careful how we help u
give another precedent on the side Of
the constitutionality of the fifteenth
amendment which has caused so much
trouble already
But the men get around that fif-
teenth amendment now; how do they
do it?"
by fraud was the reply.
Then we can get around it the
same way" was the rejoinder; but It
met with no enthusiasm. The club was
very thoughtful.
The objector returned to the attack.
"One of the most prominent Southern
leaders told me" she said, that if ne
could be sure that the ballot would
avazzsa
