THIEVES CRACK SAFE OF BIG
LUMBER co. AND ESCAPE

jacksonville, March l7-lt be-
came known yesterday that Sheriff
w. II Bowling is making every eff
fort to capture robbers who cracked
a safe at the plant Of the Carpenter
O'Rrien Lumber Company, at East
port, last Monday night, and secured
$1,000 in money and several checks.
So far the sheriff has been unable
to secure any trace Of the robbers,
whose work was boldly done, Sheriff
Dowlin2 and his deputies are leav-
ing no stone unturned in their search
for the guilty parties.
The robbery took place before
O'Clock last Monday night and, it
is believed, they were familiar with
their surroundings.
Using a crowbar and brace and
bit the thieves forced a hole in the
brick wall of vault in the building
where the safe was kept. After
making an opening in the wall the
thieves crawled throu'h and worked
upon the safe with chisel.
1t is thought by some that dyna-
mite was ultimately used to break
into the safe. The thieves secured
black cash box HE inches in
length, which contained ten or fif-
teen $50 bills, twenty or thirty $40
bills, about 500 in S. bills. about
800 in 81 bills, a lot OF silver money,
one check on the Atlantic National
Bank in the amount of $1l0, signed
by r. |. Jordan; another check on
the same bank for Sc, signed by w.
II. Turnage, and a $40 check on the
Guaranty Trust and SAVINGS Bank,
stoned by J. H. Kicker. All of the
checks were made payable to cash.
The tools which were used by the
thieves were left where they were
thrown after they comDleted their
work. The case was reported to the
authorities as soon as it was discOv-
cred and the sheriff promptly went

MORE EMPLOYMENT
FOR PARISIhNS

Paris, March ~ The number of
men and women in the city of Paris
thrown out of employment by the
war has diminished from 257 ,435
during the battle of the Marne in
September, 1914, to 79,f47 in De-
cember, 1915, according to official
figures, gathered from the number
of "unemployed cards" issued to
workmen and working-women to
entitle them to receive the allow
ance to the unemployed made by the
city.
The decreasin2 number of idle
workmen is evidence of the revival
of nearly every Partisan industry
The most important of all the tex
tile and clothing trade in which
there were 1873 unemployed March
/, has now only 29,9G3 persons out
of work, of whom 2S,5G9 are women.
"Unemploycd" cards were issued
to about 10000 men and women
practIcing liberal professions. +" The
number was reduced only to 9,347
in March and 9,317 in December,
showing that the situation of the
mechanic, the sewing girl and the
common laborer Is better in compar-
ison than actors out of engagements,
artists without customers. etc.
House servants are the worst of
or about 10000 idle at the begin
MIN, of the year, only $1,000 have
found places. This is attributed to
measures of economy in some Pari-
sian families, the breaking up of
others and to the fact that many
failies have left the city for their
country homes for the duration of
the war.
The building trades have come
back nearly to normal conditions
since there are only about 2,437
men of those trades idle; it is about
the normal figure Of times of peace.
Women so largely employed in
luxury industries were the most af-
fectei by the war. but they are rap
idly finding new occupations.

SHIP BUILDING INDUSTRY
ENJOYING PROSPERITY

chicago, March 1.-THE ship

Lakes. after lying dormant more or
less for half a decade, is enjoying a
revival of prosperity. according to
reports from shipyards at and near
Cleveland, o.. Detroit. Mich. To-

The opening of the Panama Canal,
the activities of submarines and the
sidered the immediate causes of the
shipbuilding boom The claim is
made, without denial from the build
ers, that old ships and vessels now
under construction are bringing bet
ter prices than in many years.
This boom will bring millions of
dollars of business to the dozen or
so of ship-building companies, has
created new work for hundreds of
men and already has caused the re-
building of old yards and the plan
ming of several new ones.
The demand is strong for both lake
and ocean vessels and only the in
ability of the the builders to give as
surance of delivery of the ships by
1917 stands in the way of even
heavier orders. Foreign interests
are prominent among the buyers.
With the first clash of arms in
Europe, shippers saw the necessity
for obtaining boats quickly to carry
merchandise to foreign and domes-
tic ports. One New York capital
ist obtained at least four huge Great
Lake packaoe freighters. At the We'll
land canal these ships had to be cut
into sections before they could con-
tinne the trip to the coast.
The tremendous amount of ship
ping that has gone to the bottom in
the war zone together with the fact
that many of the shipyards in Eng-
lard hovn been turned over almost

large profits. and the number of such
herds is increasing with each year, as
more and more farmers learn how to
feed and care for their cows so as to
secure the best returns.
The only way to learn whether the
individual cows in dairy herd yield
profit is to weigh and test their milk
regularly, So that their production of
-butterfat during the year can be de-
termined with at least fair degree of
accuracy. This work. of testing the
COWS ID generally admitted to be OF
fundamental importance in the man
agement Of dairy. It can be done
by a farmer himself, by means of a
milk scale and q Babcock tester, or
it can be done by outside parties,
either comparatively in the cow-test-
ing association, or by the system of
official testing Of dairy cows conducted
by the experiment stations.
AS special incentive to better
dairying a dairy COW competition for
the benefit Of COW owners in this state
was begun several years ago which
lasted two years.
A large number of extraordinarily
high records were made. Nearly two
thirds of the cows produced over 400
pounds Of butterfat during the year,
or considerably more than twice the
average production Of dairy cows in
Wisconsin and other states.
Striking fundamental facts relating
to- the dairy production OF cows are
brought out by the results obtained
in this important competition. It

It is variously estimated that one
fourth to one-third of the number Of
cows In Wisconsin-one Of the very
best dairy states in the Union-belong
to the class that is referred to as
"r62ber cows" or star boarders, -
from the fact that they do not pay
for their keep, to say nothing about
yielding, profit to their owners. Ac-
cording to Mr.. F. N. Woll, the main
reason why farmers continue to keep
such cows is that they do not know
how the accounts stand with the indi-
vidual cows in their herds. They DO
not know how much milk or butter
fat the different cows produce. nor
how much feed they consume, or
its cost.
There are, on the other hand, many
dairy herds in the state that average
over twice ITO pounds of butterfat

COLTS AND CALVES m FALL
Practical Dairymsn and Hersssnsn
Make Most Profit Out of Animals
Dropped In Autumn.

We have inherited from our ances-
tors the idea that spring 10 tho time
for calves and colts. Bnt the most
practical dairymen now know that
cows which freshen in the fall are
apt to make them more money than
the ones which come In in the spring.
The succulent pastures Of May and
June cause . great how when milk IL
cheapest; and the usual August
drought cuts down the yield 10 early
in lactation that the loss in getting
the COW back or trying to do go IL
great.
When milk is dearest the COWS are
drying up. But the fall freshening
COW. when comfortably housed, gives
her full yield in the winter. when milk
is scarce. Just as she begins to need
crowding, to prevent a shrinkage in
her yield, the spring grass comes on
and gives her the required boost. The
August drought strikes her about the
time she ought to begin to dry OF,
anyhow.
But fewer realize the arguments
for the fall colt. The dam of a colt
dropped in October has the entire
winter of leisure to devote to the
duties of maternity. She is off work
when the drain on her vitality is the
greatest. II the colt has warm quar-
tiers at night and during stormy
weather he will do as well as he
would in summer. When he is weaned,
the grass is ready for him. He has
more vitality to devote to flies and
mosquitoes. Some mighty good horse
men think the fall colt is the only
colt for them.
