ONE cow WOULD

in Three Years.

III AHIee Tears.
If you were keeping forty-sev-
en- persons in a boarding house
and had only one COW to supply
milk and butter, what would you
do?
If the COW were Carlotta Pom
tiac, a II year old Holstein bred
and owned by the dairy hus-
bandry department of the Col
lege Of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Missouri at Columbia
and you gave each boarder an
amount equal to the per capita
consumption of milk and butter
in the United States, you would
not need to do anything but sell
9,643 pounds Of milk every year.
That is the amount she produced
each OF the last three years
above the per capita allowance
for f%orty-seven persons. The
per capita consumption is fig
ured, on the calculation of the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, as 17.6 pounds of butter a
year and one-third of a quart of
milk a day.
In three years Carlotta Pontiac
has produced Ga, 957 pounds Of
milk and 2,48O pounds of but.
ter. The average Missouri COW
would have furnished in that
time 10000 pounds Of milk anc
APO of butter, about one-sixth as
much as Carlotta. At the aver,
age price in Columbia of Tx
cents a quart for the milk, Car
lotta's product in the three
years would be worth $2,319.9O
At 30 cents a pound for the but
ter and % cents a hundred
pounds for the skim milk, i
would be worth $882.05. TIL,
latter return would involve littl,
cost of handling.
Carlotta Pontiac's three-yea.
record perhaps has not beer
equalled by any other cow il
Missouri. She is still producin,
milk, having given birth to
heifer calf three weeks age
However, she is not on test now
The production of Carlotta Pom
tiac is made possible by he

three years ago was broken ;
year later by her ungrateful sis
ter.
Like other COWS in the dairy
herd at the University, Carlott;
eats grain, corn silage, and al
falfa hay. Of the silage and ha,
she has all she will eat. With
the grain she gets cottonseeC
meal and bran.
Carlotta's home is a large boz
stall of iron bars with straw fol-
a bed. The only favor that she
has which is not shared by Other
COWS in the herd is that her dool

enjoyed the privilege of lifting
the latch of her door and walk

On Friday, the monster Queen Eliz.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Wildly
sensational and conflicting rumors
concerning the Mexican situation, cir
culated throughout the capital tonight.
Most circumsta1tial was the report
that the European diplomats in Mex
leo City have arranged to flee the
capital should the rioting continue
there. known to be progressing. The
white house and state department pro
fessed to have no Information to con-
firm this report. At the embassies, 1t
was explained such action would not
be surprising. The European dfplo-
matte corps in Mexico City has been
take ali measures to protect members.
Moreover, as General Carranza is In
Vera Cruz and not Mexico City, a
movement to the seaport city would
be considered only as a transfer to a
zone Of safety.
With the currency in circulation in
it is practically worthless and with
General Obregon admittedly in no
mood to utilize his troops to protect
event of food riots, Mexico City is no
longer safe for Foreigners. The poems
realize that in the foreign quarter
much food is stored and hungry men
and women are no respectors of per-
sons.
1t IS pointed out, however, that
even though the diplomats move-anG
the report still lacks official confirma-
tions-their action cannot be con-
strued as much farther complicating
the situation, already intolerable.
They would simply be passing the
buck" to Carranza and forcing him to
accord the protection foreigners are
entitled to receive.

the Slays overcome these defenses,
they will win highest .honors OF the

Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad describing the Austro-German
campaign in eastern Galicia and the
Carpathians as collapsing, are not
confirmed. 1t is evident that an in
tense struggle is proceeding for
control OF the Dneister river and the
Slavs are holding the important high
way crossing at Halitz and the rail-
way crossing mile and a half to tho
east. Beyond this fact there are no
reliable details.
The Russian rally which followed

Prussia has decreased in violence

stopped some distance from the east
Prussian border and their attempt TO
move forward along the northern
bank OF the Vistula has not been sue

ter-offensive of the Russians, all
though checked, has in its turn pre-
vented the Germans making head
way toward Warsaw on the north.
German success in Alsace have
been the most important results OF

gained about a third of the territory

BIG STEAMER
ABLAZE AT SEA

early today, no word has come from
/ the offices of her owners here nor
! from the wireless station at Valentino
on the coast of ireland. Knots of anx-
iious inquirers besieged the company s
offices here tonight. They fear the
flames may eat their way into the
liners cargo of more than eighty tons
| of cartridges before aid arrives, and
blow her and her human cargo to bits.
Several hundred miles off the French
coast, half dozen great steamers
are dashing to the blazing Touraine's
assistance, their stokers working fur
iously. They caught the liners far
flung cry for help, reversed their en-
gines and sped away on their mission
of rescue.
Several hours have elapsed since
the Valentino wireless station flashed
the first message to London, yet there
is no further news.
Because of this fact, wild rumors
emanating in Irish and British ship
ping towns, spread and reached Lon
don tonight. The LaTouraine carried
strong wireless equipment. Why she
should send no more messages was
mystery. However, her owners point
ed out the flames might have licked
away her wireless house. Despite con-
tradiction of Lloyds, they insist the
vessel is near the British coast and
her passengers will certainly be taken
off on one of the steamers closing in
ION her. Lloyds did not alter the state
ment that their dispatches located the
steamer 1906 north latitude, long. 20.14

NEW YORK, March 6.-The sill
ence of German submarines in the
new war zone about the British Isles
has been the central fact of the
weeks war news. 1t is probable that
three of the submarines have been
sent permanently to the bottom, but
this cannot readily account for the
sudden cessation of Germany's new
warfare on British merchantmen. The
most probable Interpretation is that
the German government has inten-
tionally ordered suspension OF sub
marine hostility.
1t is doubtful, however, whether 1t
is due to necessity. Some specific
purpose is the more probable reason.
AT this moment Great Britain is en-
gagged in a serious controversy with
neutral powers concerning her efforts
to force an economic and food crisis
upon Germany. German craftsmanship
may have reached the conclusion that
it is better to keep the submarine
quiet until the neutral answer to the
British embargo policy becomes
known. Further torpedoing of British
merchantmen might strengthen Great
Britain's position in her controversy
with neutrals; while otherwise neu-
trail protests against Great Britain's
unofficial blockade may be more eff
fective than submarine raids in Sc
curing for Germany the food and raw
materials she wants.
The allied warships have made lit

cations Extrayapant raDOrtS from

Captains of incoming vessels today
reported unusually heavy seas off the
Irish coast, indicating difficulty in
small boats for the work Of
rescue. When the Volturno burned. a
ring of big vessels surrounded her,
powerless for many hours to take off
her passengers because of high sea.
1t was Captain Caussin OF the La

rather plain language that any one re-
sponsible for maLtreatilg foreigners
will be held personally responsible
when the day of reckoning arrives.
Meanwhile Villa is reported to be
rapidly moving to get control in Mex
leo. One detachment Of his troops al
ready has attacked the Carralzista
forces at Piedras Negras He is said
to have scored in the initial HOSTILE
ties. Another detao hlnent numbering

set this, General Gonzales, at the head

night to attack Monterey now held by
Villa.
State department advices from Gen.
eral Funston at Piedras Negras, said
tonight that in the preliminary fight
ing there, twenty-fv men have been
wounded. Funston was asked for per-
mission to bring wounded and sick
Mexicans across the border to Eagle
Pass, but under orders from Washing
ton, refused. He was told that if it
is necessary to save life, Mexican
wounde9 might cross the border, but
that the Mexican authorities must
agree to shoulder the expense of car
ing for them.
A high official at the state depart;
ment in discussing the Mexico City
situation tonight said: There Is no
doubt that General Obregon's incen-
diary 1utterances have ilflaped the
populace. The Mexican people are in
a fever of excitement and the capital
is not safe to foreigners. Any simple
little thing might precipitate reign
of bloodshed and massacre, SO the
diplomats can hardly be blamed If
they go to Vera Cruz. However, the
food situation is the really serious
problem there tonight"
