COCKTAILS GOOD
THING FOR COWS

Marquette, Mich, Nov. 7.-"Cows
have their hopes and ambitions like
human beings, and when they go to
their meals they should be fed in
courses, with cocktail as an appetiz-
er and a dessert for the finish" This
is the assertion of State Senator Al
ton 7. Roberts of this city, who is
looking after the welfare of a fancy
dairy. "Several years ago one of my
men tried photographic music as a
means of inducing the cows to give
more and better milk. For long time
the soothing tones brought results, but
after while the cows became tired
of the music and we began to expert
ment on other things"
The senator is not feeding alcohol to
his cattle. Instead he is using the red
table beet as an appetizer.

The bridge which is being built from
Clearwater to the outer island, and
which will span nearly two miles, is
reported to have progressed 300 feet

feet a day. Washington's birthday
(Feb. 22) is set for the opening.
1t is human nature to want to get

OF DAMAGE is NOT KNOWN BY
BRITISH ADMIRALTY

Associated Press cables from the
various fronts in the European war
are summarized by that news agency
as follows:
After a week of doubt concerning
the operations in Dobrudja where the
Teutonic allies have been marching
north almost unimpeded on a line from
the Black sea to the Danube river,
Bucharest reports that the Rumanians
have taken the offensive probably aid
ed by The Russians and have compell-
ed the Teutons to retreat at several
points.
In the jul valley on the Transyl-
vanian front the Rumanian advance,
however, has been checked by the
Austro-Germans, who have been rein
forced. In the Predeal pass region
where there has been heavy fighting
Berlin says the Rumanians also met
with reverses.
| Over a front of twelve miles on the
Somme front, Berlin reports chat the
Anglo-French attacks Sunday were
repulsed with heavy losses. Londor
admits that the British were compel.
ed to relinquish German trenches pre-.
viously won by the British at Butte de
Warlencourt, near st. Pierre -Vaast
wood. However, the French gained
ground and took six hundred addi-
tional prisoners.
The Austrians brought up heavy re-
inforcements on the Italian front, but
have been unable to advance, accord
ing to Rome.
London says that British subma-
rine hit a German dreadnaught, but
the damage is not known by the Brit

MONEY STOLEN

YOUTH CONVERTED BY BILLY
SUNDAY WRITES AND PROM
ISES TO REIMBURSE TAMPA
STORE KEEPER

Converted to Christ by the eIoquence
of Evangelist Billy Sunday, Tampa
youth whose feet slipped from the mar
row pathway of right-doing some
eight years ago has written from a
far-western state, where he now lives,
to G. +. Altman, who conducts hard
ware establishment in Ybor City, con-
Tossing to participation in the robbery
of Altl1an's store back in 1908. He
writes Mr.. Altman that he is working
and that he will lay aside every cent
he can and remit to the man he
wronged until the amount, some $208,
has been replaced, says the Tampa
Tribune.
In his letter the youth tells how his
conversion to Christ by Evangelist
Sunday quickened his conscience and
made it impossible to longer conceal
from the man he wronged the fact that
he was one of the guilty parties. He
told Mr.. Altman in the letter that it
was the one time he had acted dishon-
estly, and that he intended to clear
himself by making reparation.
Store Robbed During Night
One morning some eight years age
Mr.. Altman found that during the
night his place Of business had been
entered and the safe robbed. He fig
ured his loss in cash at $207. The
young man writes him that it was
$208 that was taken, The late E. D.
Hobbs was sheriff at the time of tn
robbery, but neither his men nor those
of the police department could gel
any trace of the thieves.
The young man who now confesses
to part in the crime writes Mr.. Alt
man that he had two companions; thai
his companions entered the building
and did the actual stealing and tha
he waited outside, doing duty a.
watcher.
Mr.. Altman told a Tribune man yes
terday that he had long ago given VI
the matter as an unsolvable mystery
He said he would carefully guard the
young mans name, as he is glad tc
know that he has been converted and
feels sure that his feet will no more
slip from the path of rectitude.

tary of the Old Spanish Trail associa-
tion, Mobile, and he says in part:
The Other day Tarpon Springs
sent us some photographs of that
city and enyirons and to say that l
was surprised at the beauty of the
place is to put it mildly. Pictures
of Tarpon Springs we Immediately
forwarded to. Motor Age, Chicago,
which, as you know, is enc of the
leading automobile journals and
read by almost every tourist. l
think the pictures will be surprise
to them, too. They are working on
a story in connection with The Old

let them have photographs along

FLOUR MAY GO
TO SIS 4 BBL
Embargo Would Not Help The Situa-
tion in View of the Big
Local Demand

Minneapolis, Minn.-Milling men of
Minneapolis believe wheat and -four
prices will go much higher before the
new crop in Texas is harvested next
June, or the winter wheat begins to
come into the elevators from Kansas
and other southwestern states next
July.
'The millers are helpless to stop the
ascending price of -four" said F. j.
! Atkinson, vice president of large
flour company. "We are put to it to
obtain in the Northwest, the quality
of wheat that we require, because of
, the partial crop failure in this section,
and, for the first time in my memory,
Minneapolis mills have been import
ing wheat from the Southwest. Ma
turally, the quotations on flour must
follow those on wheat. l will not be
surprised, before the winter and
spring are over, to see flour selling at
$12 or $15 a barrel"
1t was member of Mr.. Atkinson s
firm who gave out the fact, when quo
tations for "frst patent" flour were
made of $40 barrel, that this is the
/ highest price quoted on flour since the
days of the civil war.
The rise in price during the past
fortnight, has been rapid. From a
price of $3.50 10 days ago quotations
were forced upward by the rising
wheat market at the rate of 20 to so
cents barrel day until "frst
patents" the highest grade flour,
reached the $40 price. This was
based on December wheat at $1.95 a
bushel, plus the four cents premium
for cash wheat. 1t should be remem-
bered that $40 flour at wholesale in
Minneapolis means from $10.50 to $12
a barrel when it reaches the consumer
in other cities.
Minneapolis millers do not believe
that an embargo on the export of
wheat or flour would reduce the price
to the consumer in this country. eve
have barely enough wheat for home
consumption" said Mr.. Atkinson.
Though the present high prices are
based partially on the failure of the
Argentine crop and the mounting quo
tations in London, the most compel
ling cause is the home demand. Ex-
port trade in wheat has fallen off to
comparatively small amounts. Prices
are relatively higher in this country
than in London and that is one reason
exports are smaller. With Rumania
and Australia to draw from, European
users will not pay the American
price"
