"PANAMAS"

A large and appreciative audi
ence greeted The Panamas," "
the initial number Of the Lyceum
series, last Tuesday evening, and
the Opera house was filled to ca
pacity, thanks to the efforts of
the Holly Woman's Civic club,
under whose auspices it was
given. The quartet of young men
comprising the company is an all
star cast, each being a top-notch-
er in his act, and it is seldom our
good fortune to hear so refined
and high grade an entertainment
here. The music was superb and
the singing enhancing, and it
fairly captivated the audience.
The Scotch speciality by the
brawny Scot, Strang. was among
the strong features of the pro-
gram and was highly enjoyed by
all. THE Panamas" will always
be welcome in Holly.

BAUER IN PUEBLO

Fred Bauer, the young man

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In 1893 the city council of
Detroit passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting Henry Ford from running
about the streets with his,
''pesky" little gasoline wagon,
except between the hours of
twelve O'Clock midnight and five
o'clock a. m. The great indus
\ trial king was at that time con-
sidered nuisance by the citizens
of Detroit, and they wanted he
and his motor suppressed. Most
great inventors have been con-
sidered either nuisance or crazy
by the average citizen. When
Marconi arrived in New York in
1897 and talked about establish
ing a wireless station, telegram
was sent TO Italy about the crazy
man, and wanting him deported.

SOUGHT IMPORTATION

Agreeable to a petition signed
by a number Of taxpayers, re-
questing that the Mayor and
Town Board meet with them and
explain the workings of the new
patent furnace. coal cost, etc., a
liberal number of citizens and
nearly all the officials assembled
at the Commercial club rooms
last Monday night.
j. H. Snyder called the meet
ing to order. stating its object,
etc., and the quizzes propounded
to the town officials made one
think of a Lexow inquisition.
The main feature brought out
was the reason for the purchase
of the furnace, which the board
gave readily and intelligently,
was the fact that the city plant
needed the additional 80 horse
power which the furnace could
render. in view Of the additional
load about to be put on the plant
in furnishing power to the new
alfalfa mill.
After two hours of palaver, in
which the town board answered
every question courteously and
satisfactorily, the meeting ad-
journed, peace and harmony pre-

milk it would be worth 1882. O5.
The latter return would involve
little cost of handling.
Carlotta Pontiac's three-year
record. perhaps, has not been
equaled by any other COW in
Missouri. She is still producing
milk, having given birth to a
heifer calf three weeks ago.
However, she in not on the test
now. The production of Carlotta
Pontiac is made possible by her
breeding. A record made by her
three years ago was broken a
year later by her ungrateful
sister.
Like other cows in the dairy
herd at the university, Carlotta
eats grain, corn, silage and alfal-
ia hay. Of the silage and hay
she has all she will eat. With
the grain she gets cotton-se
meal and bran.
Carlotta's home is a large box
stall of iron bars, with straw for
a bed. The only favor that she
has which in not shared by other
cows in the herd is that her door
is fastened with an extra button
on the outside. For time she
enjoyed the privilege of lifting
the latch of her door ard walking
out without the permission of her
keeper. When the keeper leaves
her now Carlotta knows that he
will turn the button and stands
resigned to her Imprisonment.
But, let a stranger leave the
stall, Carlotta suspects his ignor-
ance of her methods, and tries to
lift the latch. Often she is sue
cessful.

KOLSTEIN cow SUPPORTS
FORTY.SEvEN PERSONS

Ifyou were keeping forty seven
persons in a boarding house and
had only one COW to supply milk
and butter. what would you do?
asks the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
If the cow were Carlotta Pom
tiac, a 12-year-old Holstein. bred
and owned by the dairy husban-
dry department of the college of
agriculture of the University of
Missouri at Columbia. and you
gave each boarder an amount
equal to the per capita consump-
ton of milk and butter in the
United States. you would not
need to do anything but sell 9643
pounds of milk every year. That
is the amount she produced each
of the last three years above the
per capita allowance for forty
seven persons. The per capita
consumption is figured on the
calculation of the United States
Department of Agriculture as
17.6 pounds of butter a year and
third of a quart of milk a day.
In three years Carlotta Pontiac
has produced Ga, 1867 pounds of
milk and 2480 pounds of butter.
The average Missouri cow would
have furnished in that time 10,-
500 pounds of milk and 420 of
butter, about one-sixth as much
as Carlotta.
At the average price in Colum-
bia of u cents a quart for the
milk, Carlotta's product in the
three years would be worth
$2319. 80. At 80 cents a pound
for the butter and rs cents a
hundred pounds for the skim

Will he ever tuess Of the tears they caused

Will kaze through failure and fruitless toll

And catch glimpse Of the real intent and
the heart of the vanquished man?
l dare not hope he may pause some day,
as he tolls % have wrought,
And gain some strength for his weary task
from the battles which have fought.
But I've only the task itself to leave with
