The form which good dairy cattle
posses Results from the milk produc-

milk, II Is necessary that COW Tor
Dull II he becomes the sire of cows

tity OF milk have these systems well
developed. Good producing cows and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because 1t is the high de-
gree OF development of these parts
known as the digestive, secretive, cir
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animal the dairy
form.
A COW that has a good dairy form

has wedge shaped appearance, view

from above results from the narrow
projecting wethers which form the
apex OF the wedge and the large bar

President Takes umhraoe At Story
OF Bargain With Great
Britain

Washington, March 30.--President
Wilson declared today that on account
of the contradictory statements, in
the Baltimore platform. Democrats
should have. no hesitation in voting
for the repeal of the Panama canal
tolls exemption.
The President emphatically charac-
terized the exemption as a subsidy
and pointed out that one plank in the
Baltimore platform expressed oppo-
sition to any subsidy direct or indi-
rect. while another plank declared for
tolls exemption. The President as
serted there should be no doubt
among Democrats rs to which should
take precedence.
The President reiterated that the
exemption never was policy of the
Democratic House, because 1t was
passed through a coalition of Repub.
Leans and minority of Democrats
the majority of Democrats voting
against IT on the grounds that 1t was
a subsidy.
The President explained that even
If the international situation to which
he referred in his message had not
arisen he would have been opposed to
te tolls exemption as against Dem
ocratic doctrine. But he indicated
however, that If II were not for the
international situation he did not feel
that It would have been proper for
him to question the acts of previous
administration.
Regrets Tone or Discussion
The President declared he wanted
to express his regret that what had
promised to be a dignified contest
with genuine differences of opinion
seemed to be degenerating in his OPP
inion, into an attempt to discredit
the administration
He remarked that while 1t made all
the more certain the result In favor
of the administration, he thought II
great pity that public affairs shonil
be handled in that way. He did not
think all the opponents Of the repeal
felt that way, but such color had
been interjected into the controversy
and he did not understand the mo-
tives for It. The President said he
had no enxiety over any political fric-

Des Moines, Iowa, March 30.-The
possibility of controversy over the
Shafroth and Bristow suffrage amend.
ments now pending before congress-
arising in the Mississippi valley suf-
frage conference here tomorrow de.
veloped tonight when It became
known that conference of suffrag-
lists opposed to the Shafroth amend
ment had been held. It had been an
nounced in Chicago last week that
the subject would not be brought up
and 1t was understood tonight that an
effort would be made to keep 1t from
the floor OF the conference tomorrow.
Miss Alice Paul of Washington. D.
c., president of the Congressional
Suffrage union, which is said to ia
vor the Bristow amendment, was
present ut gathering of about TWEEN
ty-five leading suffragists this after
noon at which the Shafroth amend
ment and it's meaning to the suffrage
movement at large were discussed.
AS a result the following telegram
addressed to the official board Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association was made public:
Many members Of the Mississippi
conference feel that the Shafroth res
olution to amend the. constitution
should be left in committee until sf-
ter the next convention.
Were this done it would avoid a
chance for confusion which might
come were two suffrage resolutions
simultaneously before the country,
and would give mature time for the
consideration OF Q measure which
many Of us do not understand and
which we want to act upon with de-
liberation. 5f .Hg
The signers then asked the official
board to instruct its congressional
committee not to push the Shafroth
resolution nor to ask its report from
the senate committee.
Mayor James r. Hanna delivered
an address of welcome at the night
session, and Mrs. Maud Wood Park
of Boston was the principal speaker,
the subject being, World Status OF
Women.
