Birsky, that you amt got no magma

Maybe l amt" Birsky agreed,
"aber when the book says: Mrs. Fa-
TINA Harris is the favorite wife of
Sultan Charles z. Harris y'under-
stand, and couple of hundred young
ladies comes out and dances it for
you, for all you understand what they
are driving at they might just so well

minutes. Look around now and walk,

with this here Russian ballet it amt
enough that you should be mind read

that's all there is to it,"
might it's because you amt &C.
quainted with the Russian language
maybe" Zapp suggested. you take
a Russian ballet which amt in the
country two weeks, understand and
naturally they couldn't even talk the
English language let alone dance it."
"Then how did the police get on
that it was immoral?" Birsky asked.
probably they sent a policeman
there which speaks Russian" Zapp
said. They've got such fellers on the
police force, Birsky. There is even
policemen which can shake down
saloon keepers in every European Ian
guage, and Chinese and Hebrew, also,
Birsky, and besides, Birsky, what
business do you got supporting Rus
sian ballet? l thought you was
against the Allies"
"Me against the Allies? Birsky ex-
claimed. "How can you say such
thing? I've got just so many custom
ers which is for the Allies as against
'em, Zapp-more even, and l am per-
fectly neuter about this here war.
Furthermore, I've been an American
sitson now going on twenty-five years,
and think that that oitermobile fac
tory out in Detroyit is quite right
which wouldn't give jobs except to sit
sons"
"Aber If everybody done the same
thing, Birsky, what's going to become
of the greenhorns?" Zapp asked. at

perlenced statesmen. If every concern

beginner with at least five years ex-

"Or else lie about it," Birsky said.
"Aber you couldn't lie about being
sitson," Zapp continued. "You've got
to show the papers"
"Well, maybe this here oitermobile
concern says that they wouldn't pro-
mote nobody unless he becomes a sit
son." Birsky admitted.

BETTER QUALITY OF BUTTER
Taste and Color Control
FIavors and odors.

Butter is used primarily to improve
the palatability of foods for human
consumption. 1t sells on it's merits as
to taste, flavor and color, though some
are Influenced by it's texture. Color
may be produced artificially in way
to please the most particular person
and it therefore becomes of secondary
Importance to the producer; it does not
imply quality, but Oftimes a rich color
will compensate for lack Of other
qualities.
Flavors and odors in butter may be
controlled to a certain extent by care
in feeding and handling COWS. The
volatile fats in milk are quick to alb
sorb odOrs, either from feeds during
the process of digestion and assimi1a-
ton in the COW or from strong OdorS
coming In contact with the milk after
it has been drawn. The latter may be
obviated by keeping the stable and
utensils sweet and clean, free from
dust and all Objectionable OdorS. When
disinfeCtants are used about the sta
bles care must be exercised to air the
stables thoroughly, for the milk will
absorb the odOr of disinfectants in a
remarkably brief time. The most eff
fective plan is to disinfect as soon as
the cows are turned out, then air the
stables well for at least three or four
hours.

Naturally people from the country
seeing such thing would get a
shock" Zapp commented.
"They would if they was there"
Birsky said, "but actresses and actors

New York audience. In fact, Zapp, If
the police knew their business they
would arrest the two front rows of a
New York audience on looks alone,
for the bad effect the faces has got on
the morals of the actors and actresses.
However, Zapp, supposing that the
people which goes to see the Russian
ballet Is as innocent as the police
claims, Zapp, 1t wouldn't make no diff
ference anyhow, because a ballet Is
like the def and dumb language,
Zapp, people has got to study it for
years before they know what 1t means.
In fact, Zapp, if the police continues
to find this here Russian ballet Is i'm

GRADE OF AMERICAN BUTTER
Quality Is Poor on Account of Poor
Cream Used in Manufacture
Foreign Make Is Better.

imported butter does not reach our
markets in as fresh condition as our
own butter, consequently the majority
of it sells as second-grade. In many
cases it leaves the point Of production
as a first-class article, but is so long in
transit that it deteriorates and arrives
as second-grade butter. Unfortunate
ly the majority of American-made but
tiers are also second-grade. This is not
because it cannot reach the market at
once, but because it is made from a
poor quality of cream. The American
farmer is not producing as good quail
lty Of cream as his foreign brother.

do it for love, because if Teller gets
married for money and his wife should
go broke, he amt going to stay faith
full to her very long. and if a Teller
becomes a sitson to get job, y'under-
stand, all such Teller needs is to lose
his job and right away he becomes a
no good American sitson. Then if

HIGH GRADE BUTTER PRICES
Producers of First-Class Articles Are
Realizing Nice Margin Over
Inferior Product.

First-grade butter is still in big de-
mand in this country and the pro-
ducers Of good butter are realizing a
nice margin in price over the producers
Of second grade butter. Because of
foreign competition with our second
grade butter the difference in price be-
tween first-grade and secOnd-grade is
wide. Foreign competition has not
materially increased the supply OF
first-grades, while the supply of Sec
onds has been increased tremendously.
