TOMBSTONE REARED
IN BULL s MEMORY
Marks Grave of Glenwood's
Mainstay, Famous Guernsey,
Killed by U. S. Inspectors

A modest little white marble slab has
been erected In the pasture on the farm
of Ephraim T. GIL, near Haddonheld,
n. j., over the grave OF Glenwood's Main
stay, q famous Guernsey bull. valued AZ
$1,000. which was killed by inspectors OF
the United states Bureau OF Animal In
dustry last March because OF the hoof
and mouth disease.
The slab, which Is feet high and 2
feet wide, is inscribed as follows;
"Glenwoods Mainstay. Advance Reg
istration, No. 696I Born May 13, 1890.
Died March 6, 1915. Thirty-one daughters
and 20 others Of the same blood are
buried nearby"
The Glenwood breed, which was pro-
duced by "l1ph" Gill, as he Is familiarly
known, is recognized by many cattle
raisers all over the United States as the
highest cattle development in America.
When the hoof and mouth disease was
discovered in his herd all Of the animals
were killed. Mr.. Gill placed their value
at $4,000. which was the price they
would bring at public sale.
A bill was introduced later in the New
Jersey Legislature in Mr. Gilrs behalf
and he was allowed $4,000 for his loss.
Mr.. Gill explained today that this sum
hardly covered the loss of the unborn
calves, the milk and the butter which the
animals would have produced. In addi-
ton ne pointed out that his barns and
haystacks had been burned for which no
allowance had been made.
lie said that he fully Intended to go out
of business after the loss Of his famous
herd. but that his Western friends would
not permit him to do so. Mr.. Gill said
that he had received several presents of
Guernsey cows which were direct de-
scendants OF his Glenwoods Manstay
and only few weeks ago two high-class
cows were sent from n friend in Indiana.
The GIL farm was purchased i'm the
Revolutionary days by John Gill and has
| cen handed down from generation to
generation. All of the family have been
noted in New Jersey for cattle raising.

CONTINENT CROSSED
BY LONE ACTRESS
Anita King, of the Movies, Ar
rives in Pittsburgh, Driving
Her Own Car From
California

Anita King is coming to Philadelphia.
She'll be here tomorrow or next day on
her way to New York.
Five feet two inches of blonde blue
eyed feminity driving across the continent
alone in a big automobile is carrying
messages from the Mayors Of Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Omaha
and Chicago to Mayor Mitchell. Of New
York. In all probability Mayor Blanken-
burg will fall into line with a letter wish
ing New York good luck, and the little
traveller declares that while she has had
wretched weather on her long trip, she
is going to bring sunshine to philadelphia
for the worlds series
Pretty Anita King is % years old, and
since she seems to like hardship so weh'
IL is not hard 20 believe that she is
motion-picture actress. Before the month
of August had departed she bounced Into
the office of her manager Jesse L.
Lasky. with the statement that she was
going to drive from coast-to-loast alone
without so much as a mechanician to
accompany her.
MIR. LasIIy was astonished, to say the
least "You are not" he replied.
81 certainly am" she said. "IVe drlVen
I'm lots of races and l can do anything
a mere man can do. No girl has ever
made the trip, and for that reason, II for
no other. I'm going to do it. Besides all
that, / want to be a star"
"I don't see what this has to do with
IT," Mr.. Lasky replied. You wouldn't
live to appear on the screen again"
He thought she was joking, but wheh
he at last was convinced that she was
in deadly earnest, he said: "Well, you
20 and see Mr.. Hodkinson. He's the man
to give You permission"
The little actress went to the head OF
the Paramount Company for which Mr..
LaslSy is a producer, and the upshot or
it was that she started from San Fran
cisco on September as the Paramount
Girl on a wager which will mean her
stardom and brand-new automobile
! thrown in II she is successful
The Imperial Theatre was packed the
day she held a reception there and al
! the exposition, where her daily progress
| is buletined even now. On the stage
/ she received a sealed message from
Mayor James Rolph, Jr., and after a
| short farewell speech. waving her hand
| to the audience gathered to wish her
| godspeed, she started on the first Lap
| of her coast-to-coast trip. Geraldine Far
rar herself bid her good-by and gave her
