This is picture of the Holstein-

by, the new worlds champion butter
producer. The results of her 365-con-
secutive-days' test, conducted by the
Minnesota Agricultural college, show
that she MIXED 27,761.07 pounds,
nearly fourteen tons, or over twenty
three times her own weight. The
butterfat contained in this years milk
weld weighed 10000 pounds, this
being fat percentage of about q. 80.
Figured at cash value, and the dollar
and cents estimate is one OF the prime
reasons for the popularity OF the Hol-
stein Friesian COW, and allowing 80
cents pound, she produced about
$500 worth of commercial butter.
Think of it! More than thirty-hve AZ
pound tubs! The best previous record
for the 365-con secutive>days' butter
test was held by Finderne Pride Jo-
hama Rue 121OS3. She produced 642

Want a New State.

In Michigan there is some talk
of starting a movement to es-
tablish the upper peninsula as a
state. Superior is the name sug-
gested for the new state. While
the movement would probably
be looked upon with favor by
the people in the upper peninsula
there is no doubt but that the
people of the lower peninsula
would strongly oppose such a
movement.-Hurley News.

big slice of Iron county, which it
is claimed is unlawtully held and
contrary to the defining of the

quotes from the Michigan con-
titution of 1885 and 1909 re-
ating to the boundary line as

the leader OF a band OF three brothers,

to lock their cars-at 81 to $40 per

II IS as though there were law
regulating that one must lock ones

that house we're punishable by fine.
The wise mind which makes our

would not have lost his car had Vt
been adequately locked" SO that

Bill Jones leave their cars parked

are fined.
This Is proper.
To leave your car unlocked by switch
key or chain or paddock is to make
more difficult the operations Of the
police.
When you leave your car on the
street IN this unprotected wise you
are a criminal You do not merely
encourage the car-copping crooks. but
you become automatically an ac-
