MILKING cows BY. MACHINES
New York Station Announces Result
Of Experiment Extending Over
Period Of Four Years.

The problem Of milking b. means Of
machines is still a long way nom be-
ing solved, but we are much nearer the
goal than five years ago, or even a
year ago. More people are thinking
about mechanical devices for tighten:
ing the. work of tired hands and aching
fingers than ever before.
The New York experiment station
has announced the result Of a milking
machine experiment which covered
a period Of over four years. The ex
periments. show that, including the
time required to get. the. machines
ready and to wash them after milking,
cows can be MIXED by machine In
1855 minutes per COW, as against seven
minutes for hand milking. A higher
class Of help is, however; necessary to
milk my msehinery successfully.

Will Receive Government Help.

Kansas will receive three quarters
of a million dollars annually for i'm
proving the roads Travelled by rural
mail and star route carriers under
the good roads bill passed by the
House of Representatives last week.
Representative Geo. A. Neeleyof tn
Seventh District, had an active part
in securing the passage of this legis-
latioH. His Good Roads Bill, intro
duced early in his first term in Con-
greSs, was considered by the COM
mittee in drafting the measure just
passed by the House, and the bin re-
ported followed the general plan of
the Medley bill. Mr.. Neeley not on.
ly supported the measure by his vote
and his influence when it came up
for final action, but worked energet-
ically with some of his colleagues to
secure the special rule which made
it possible to bring the matter up i'm
tho House and secure a vote upon it.
Neeley has always been an ardent ad-
vocate Of good roads legislation and
in the effective support which he
has given the matter In Congress he
has made good on. his platform prom.
isel to stand for federal aid In. the
work of good road making. .;

WAR COSTING EUROPE
S40,225,0O0 A DAY
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct. 31.-The war bill which
Europe is meeting daily is now figured
up as follows:
Russia, $14,O00,O0O; Germany, ST.
225,OOO; France, $7,OOO,OOO; England,
$5,OOO,OOO; Austria, $4OOO,OOO; Various
others, $S,OOO,OOO. Total, $4O,225,O 900.
The French appropriation is from
official figures, as announced by NJ. Ri
bot, minister of finance; the English
estimate by the London Statist; the
German total from IAN authoritative
source" in a Geneva paper; and the
other sums from various conservative
estimates which have appeared in one
place or another. The item various"
represents the probable expense to
which Seryia, Belgium and the neutral
countries of Switzerland, Italy. Rou-
mania, Turkey, Greece, Holland and
Denmark have been put
The vast total does not include the
destruction OF property where fighting
is taking place, nor the well-night in
calculable losses to Europe of 20,000,-
900 men under arms being taken from
production. There are no Indications
in France that exhaustion has set in,
but it is evident that the accumulated
treasure of even the richest country
on the continent is being poured out
at rate that adds $2Oo,OOO,OOO a
month to the national debt.

All articles that might be useful in

The embargo today also prohibits the

AMERICAN MILLS TO
help SUPPLY need
EUROPEAN COUNTIES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Only in cotton
spinning is British industry suffering.
In addition to supplying the expedi-
tionary force and the new army with
clothing and equipment, Russia has
placed orders for million pairs of
boots and the British wooden mills and
shoe factories have other contracts
they are as yet unable to place, which
could be easily taken by American
manufacturing agents, were they in the
field.
The greatest wasteage in the war
has been in the motor vehicle line. Not
only are the cars racked to pieces by
hard service, but large numbers are
destroyed by shells. British manufac-
turers have not the equipment to sup
ply this wasteage.
Russia is not a manufacturing coun-
try, and the factories of France have
been largely destroyed in the north and
in other parts are shut down because
of the lack of hands.

DIXIE R. R. S. WILL
CONTINUE RATES
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 31.-The
Interstate Commerce commission today
allowed the railroads operating in the
Southeastern territory as defined by
rulings of the commission to continue
the present class and commodity rates
which involve numerous violations of
the long and short haul provisions Of
the interstate commerce regulations
governing such traffic, from a num-
Der of both eastern and western Ship
ping centers to Southern points In the
South Atlantic and Gulf States.
Rates affected by today's ruling Of
the commission include those from
New York City to Rome, Ca, and Flor
ida points and from Louisville and Gin
cinati to Rome.
The commission denied the applica
tion of the carriers to continue existing
lower rates on more distant points
than intermediate points on both class
and commodity shipments from New
York City to Athens, Ga, via Norfolk
and other South Atlantic ports; from
New Orleans to Athens and Rome, Ga,
and fran Cincinnati and louisville to
Athens and Rome.
The order of the commission is ef-
fective April 1, 1915, and the decision
is the result of a tedious hearing, both
shippers and carriers being represent
ed by able counsel who presented
an array of figures supporting their
different contents which required
many weeks to digest.

GAY PAREE IS

CAPITAL
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct. Sit was announced
here today that the government would
return from Bordeaux to Paris by No
vember 20. While the announcement
of the return of the French capital to
Paris is unofficial still credence is CIV
en- to the statement inasmuch as the
French parliament will meet on De-

lawmakers of the nation, President
Poincaires and his co-workers will
pass emergency laws to goven the ma
ton during the war.
The seat of government was moved
from Paris to Bordeaux early in the
war when General Won Kluck and his
German army got within 80 miles of
the city. Since then the nation has
been governed from Bordeaux.
News that the government would be
moved back to Paris early next month
was received with loud acclaim here.
Since the seat of government was NOV
ed Paris has been dead and uninterest-
ing. Gay Paree was a thing of the
past. The city awoke every morning,
fearful of Zeppelins and other dang

be returned to the city assures the peo-
