When death came with fits sud
den summons to b. l.. Strother It
took from the activities OF this world
q man whose life had been all Of
helpfulness and Of good cheer. With
a heart as tender as a woman's, with
overflowing klndliness toward all,

teemed by his acquaintance. A
newspapermen by instinct and train
ing, he conducted his papers with
an ambition to lift up the community
and maintained q high measure Of
independence and courage. AS a
public official his desire was to give
the best possible service without re-
gard to his own time or labor. AS
q friend he never faltered In faith
fulness nor left undone anything in
his power to show his good will.
For more than a quarter century
Leslie Strother has been associated
with Kansas journalism. Much of
that time was spent in Abilene and
1t all he has been loyal to
the best interests Of the state and to

he believed. His passing is a loss 10

'ow to hundreds of friends who will

Washington, Dec. 15.-CongEess

eminent printing bill. The senate
printing committee shortly will re-
port the Barnhart bill, which passed

advocates, chief among whom is
Representative Barnhart of Indiana,
chairman of the house committee on

The bill wipes out one Of the

REFLECT OLD OFFICERS FOR rs
Cow Testing Association Plans to
Add New Members During Year

Cow Testing Association Plans to
Add New Members During Year
The officers of the county COW
testing association were reelected at
the annual meeting Saturday in the
Commercial club rooms. The Off
GERS are: President, George Lenhert;
vice president, ]. T. Lesher; secre-
tary-treasurer, A. B. Wilcox. John
v. Joy is the tester for the associa-
ton.
The coming year will be the third
for this association, which has come
to take such an important part in
the dairying industry in Dickinson
county as we'll as in the state, for
the association is the only one of its
kind in Kansas. This year the as
ISOLATION hopes to have its members
contract for testing $50 cows. When
the organization started the men,
bers agreed to have $50 cows tested.
The reason why there are not so
many cows ON the association list ct
the present time, Secretary Wilcox
points out, is because the keeping
of accurate records has resulted IN
culling out the "boarders," so that
there are few herds which are not
smaller at. the present time than
when their owners first engaged in
the then unusual business of keep
Ing tab on the milk producers. Mr..
own experience is an illus
ration in point. Mr.. Wilcox recently
Iold more than 70 head of Holsteins,
Ill of them good cows, but of the Il
,rade class. These he Is replacing at
considerable expense with pure bred
Iolsteins. He now has eight pure
red Holstein cows, and three cal d
es. Retaining four pure bred reg ~
stored animals he bought four more sc
a Nebraska, at one Of the Holstein- IN
'riesian centers there. He plans lat d
r to add more animals. One of the po

le, has a guaranteed record of 795 Ill
ounds of butter produced In one Ill
ear. This record is even greater W.
ian that made by Mr.. Wilcox's So
