Points Out Public Duty.

The duties of our citizens as to the re-

obligation which they owe to themselves,

hands of those not necessarily the great
est men in the community. not the wisest
or the most experienced, but those who

a woman walked into the City Public

was from West Seattle, that she was
expecting a baby in a few days, and
that she must have a telephone.
But the telephone company had said
it would cost $50, and they would get
only two weeks rental.
superintendent Valentine, of the
Utilities Department, visited the tele-
phone company.
Gentlemen" he said, you know
this womans case; she's got to have
phone. There's no law to compel
you, but you men know she has to
have it. and know you haven't the
heart to turn her down"
Way out past the last line of houses
in West Seattle a phone line strings.
It's probably the most costly service
the company has.
Meanwhile, the baby has arrived.
Telephone officials have confided that,
after all, it was a good cause, even
though bad business.

Millionaire Sets Pace for North
Carolina Neighbors on His
500-Acre Tract.
PRIZE JERSEY IS IN DAIRY
Place Also Boasts Excellent Nurs-
cry and Fine Hardwood Pre-
seve-CrOps Not for Sale.

ASHEVILLE. N. c., Oct. AT his
famous Biltmore estate, here, George
W. Vanderbilt has proven a success
as farmer, a dairyman, a nursery
man and a dealer in timber land, de-
spite the fact that he gives personal
supervision to his affairs only half
the year on an average. He has the
faculty of selecting capable super
visors.
Dairyman Vanderbilt makes a large
and steady profit, and he owns the
COW which holds the worlds Jersey
record for milk and butter produc-
ton; Nurseryman Vanderbilt has the
largest arboretum or nursery for the
propagation of trees and shrubs In
America; Forester Vanderbilt has the
most extensive hardwood reserve in
the eastern part of the United States.
Uses His Own Crops.
AS farmer his success can not be
measured commercially, because the
crops he makes are not sold, but
used on the estate; but there is no
more scientific farmer. He uses the
best methods and gets the best re-
suits.
The Vanderbilt dairy was designed
in accordance with the most up-to-
date sanitary methods, and it and the
creamery are very pleasing from an
architectural standpoint. The COW
barns house 225 Jerseys-there are
only Jerseys on the estate-and else
where are some so dry cows, calves
and bulls. They are descendants of
stock imported between 1890 and 1900
from the Island of Jersey.
New Milk Record.
The jewel of his cattle is Kolo's
Catherine, No. 206275. In the To-day
dry period from January "a to May
26, inclusive, Kolo's Catherine eclips-
ed the record previously held by Lo-
retta d. No. 14170S, for this period,
and at the same time established a
new One-day record. She produced
6.0S6 pounds of milk; butter fat, 2S7.25
pounds; estimated butter, 1894
pounds. The day record was $3.50
pounds of milk, which tested 1856
pounds Of butter.
Excessive care is taken to insure
milk purity. Cement floors are wash
ed with hose, each COW is thorough
" washed and sponged and the milk
ing is done by men whe wear steril-
lied suits and are examined physi-
cally once q week by physicians of
the Asheville Milk Commission as
well as daily by the superintendent of
the dairy. The milk is carried from
the barn by overhead trolleys to the
creamery, where 1t is received in re-
frigerated rooms pasteuTized and bot
tied.
