Milk in a Year.

Missouri proclaims a new champion
the prize dairy herd of the College Of
Agriculture. Her record for the year,
ending October IS, gives her first rank
in the state in milk production and
second in butter. In that time she
produced 23,493 pounds, or 11.193
quarts of milk, and $50 pounds Of
butter.
Her record for milk Is thirty-nine
pounds higher than that made by the
famous Chief Josephine in 1910. When
she was last fresh she gave twelve
gallons of milk day The college has
been offered $700 for Pontiac Lady
Josephine, but it is doubtful If $1,000
would buy her.

uographers and others in Missouri's

In wages over 1908 of about per cent,
In st. Louis women stenographers
average $5l a month; Kansas City,
SAG; ST. Joseph. $40. The salary about
corresponds with what is paid the

positions averaged about $50 month.

lived with a 16-year old daughter and
two smaller children. All was alarm
ingly quiet about the house, save for
the crackle of the fire.

burning, and they ran to the rear.
There Barton broke in a window and
entered, followed by Fowler.

with smoke. Cropping blindly about
and calling, the men encountered MIS-.

Fowler was getting the other child
out the same way, he returned and
assisted Mrs. Raper to leave the
house by the window, which, owing
to the progress of the fire. was the
sole means Of exit.
The party had hardly left the
building when the flaming roof fell In.
The house and all its contents were
destroyed.
The older daughter. May. was badly
burned about the arms. and Mrs. Ra-
