You Ought to See 1t

You ought to see that new milk

milking with 1t certainly beats
milking by hand. With it Mr.. Moss
milks two cows at a time without
doing any work at all. He milks
% cows in an hour and fifteen
minutes now and it used to take
two men two hours and half to
milk them by hand. Just figure
for yourself how much time he is
saving
MI. Moss now sells from 80 to 80
gallons Of milk each day and it is
easy to see where the profit from
the machine will come in. He can
increase the number of cows from
% to SO and do the milking in the
same time that it used to take. He
can attach to his machine six more
UNITS, or cOW-nllkerS
and by hiring three more men, can
milk l12 cows in the same time in
which he now milks 28. That would
mean instead of selling from 80 to
80 gallons of milk each day, he
would sell from 800 to 800 gallons.
This machine is constructed by
the Sharples Separator Company
and is the first of its kind to be in.

one thinks it impractical they

GET OUT The BLANKETS;
FROSTY WEATHER HERE
Mercury Tumbles Near Freezing Point
and City Shivers.

1t was shiver, shiver. shiver all last
night for many Washingtonian who had
failed to unpack the winter blankets
and shake out the moth balls.
For the mercury dropped to the neigh
horhood of the S5-degree mark in the
District and in outlying rural districts
the freezing point nearly was reached.
And along with the drop in tempera-
ture came the first real frost of the sea-
son. 1t was particularly heavy in neigh
boring parts OF Virginia and Maryland.
So Washingtonians shivered, for it's
hard to induce a person to unpack the
blankets for Tuesday night when the Mon
day preceding has been the hottest day
of that date for the past thirty-ive years.
Such a day was Monday. So Washing
tonians shivered.
But they will not shiver long, for to-
morrow, says the weather forecasteT, NC
mercury will rise and remain normal for
some time.
Along with the cold snap came the an
nouncement of a rise in the price Of
coal. And still further rises are prOba-
bic, according to J. NJ. Burrcll, of the AL
leghany Coal Company.

Last night Admiral Gleaves recalled
all the destroyers then at sea. after a

Kingstonian's crew had been rescued
by a tramp steamer and were being

erroneous and probably referred to the

Baltimore, Md, Oct 1O-The Wilson ad-
miristration's attitude towards American

bitter criticism by Charles Evans Hughes
in his speech here tonight He charged
the administration not only with openly
discouraging new projects abroad, but
also with seriously crippling American
business in foreign lands by failing to
insure it's protection.
of American interests abroad was dubbed
dollar diplomacy, something shockingly
reprehensible," he said.
1T smacked too much Of prosperous en-
terprise. In consequence I may say that
in respect to American interests We have
had not only diplomacy without dollars,
but diplomacy without sense.
I'VE now hear fine words as to our
duties to the world. We are told that
we are now to serve the world, that
we have the best genius in the world
but we have never thought of using
that genius outside our own markets.
1t is said that We have provided
machinery for branch banks abroad.
But what avails such words when
we do not protect American lives ana
protection of American citizens and their
interests abroad according to their right
under international law is the corner
stone of a policy to promote American
enterprise throughout the world. This
protection has been deliberately and de-
plorably refused by this administration" 3"
