Lynn, Mass, Nov. 25.--Leonapd
Crowder, 40 years old, is wearing
a sore right arm and an angelic
face today. The arm is wrapped
in@bandages and the face in
smiles. Young Crowder threw
1000 stones into a gravel pit
while probation officer watched
him. He had been sentenced TO
1.-THE performance for throwing a
stone at little girl. 4
| The lad started his work with
considerable pep and got away
with twenty-five stones without
any trouble. Then he admitted
had something of job on his
hands. He began to use and I'M
derhand motion, throwing at a
rock and a tin can. Neither mark
was hit often. y
! When the youth reached 400
he wanted to quit. At 926, with
tears rolling down his face, he
begged to be allowed to stop, de-
claring he never would throw
another stone. Urged on by his
playmates, he staggered through
the final seyenty-five and then
went home exhausted, where his
arm was wrapped in bandages.

IOWA LEADS AT
THE DAIRY sHoNv.

Iowa dairy cattle swept the
boards at the National Dairy show
held at Springfield, Mass, Octo-
Der IL to 81, inclusive. Here is
another cause for an increased
pride in Iowa.
"Our dairy production in Iowa, :
says Colonel G.. Watson French
president of the Greater Iowa as
soeiation, "can be increased from
sl00,00O,000 a year to $500, OOO,-
600 year without adding a single
enc to the present number of oul
d: nv cattle. If our farmers would
pay more attention to the quality
of their dairy cattle we can beat
the world in this branch Of agri-
cultural activity. The average
production of milk per COW in
Iowa is 1000 poundss. The high
est average of any county is Hol-
land, with 5000 pounds. The
heifers on my farm, with their
first calves, are averaging $4,000
pounds. What it done on my farm
can be done on every farm in the
state.''
| Let us get back to the National
show at Springfield. The prize
cattle from Canada and Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Con-
necticut, New York, Minnesota,
Vermont, Maine, Wisconsin, New
Hampshire, Illinoiss, Iowa and
Iother stsates were gathered. The
lGuernseys belonging to w. w.
Marsh of Waterloo, Ia, contrib
uted the greatest share of blue
ribbon winners in the Guernsey
class, taking twenty-tw two firsts
and six seconds out ola total of
twenty eight classes.
In the Holstein division first
prize went to the Iowana farms,
near Davenport, the Galloway-
Messer farm of Waterloo run
ming a close second. Iowa was
awarded the senior and grand
champion bull, junior champion
bull and junior champion COW. AS
a gfan' finale for the show spe-
cial herds were shown in compe-.
tion, each herd containing twelve
animals, representative Of the best
breeding in each state. In this
class Iowa was given first prize,
Illinois. second, Massachusetts,
third and New Hampshire fourth.
The Galloway-M esser farms of
Waterloo receive dthe first prize
for the breeders young herd Of
Ayrshires.
In the state contests in the
Guernsey class Iowa received first
prize almost without competition,
because Massachusetts and New
York, which ranged second and
third, respectively, mid not receive
together as many points as Iowa
made. The Marsh herd won SCI
Nor and grand champion bull,
senior and grand champion COW,
junior champion COW and, in fact,
everything else that was really
worth having.
