The Fifty-Pound Cow

The Fifty-Pound Cow
A new worlds record for all breeds
for butterfat production in the seven
day division was established by the
pure-bred Holstein-Friesian COW, Sc
gisFayne Johanna 114658, in a test
ending January 8, 1917. This remark
able cow produced 50.6S pounds Of
butter in seven consecutive days, and
the official test was conducted by SUI
pervisors from the New York State
Agricultural College, Ithaca, N. Y.
Segis Fayne Johanna, by her won
derful achievement, is now the most
talked of COW in the world, and her
sensational record marks a signal tri-
umph in the forward march Of the
Holstein-Friesian breed.
She was bred by A. A. Cortelyou, OF
Somerville, N. j., and her present
owner is Oliver Cabana, Jr proprie-
tor of Pine Grove Farms, Elma Cen
ter, N. Y, at which noted establish
ment four other worlds record hold
ers have been developed during the
past six months.
The new worlds record holder
freshened at the age of years, 2
months and II days. She is four-ifths
white, weighs about 1450 pounds, ana
is sired by King Fayne Segis 46767.
Her dam is Wilma Johanna 64385, q
daughter Of Johanna Rue 3d's Lad
and Wilma Clothilde.
The test was made under perfect
conditions, absolute quiet, systematic
feeding and milking, and a roomy
stall constructed of clean white enam-
eled walls.
Segis Fayne JOhanna's seven-day
production of over so pounds of butter
surpasses that Of Hester Aaltje Korn-
dyke, the previous worlds record
holder, by 3.91 pounds. In their pres

To members of the Anne Arundel
County Branch of the Maryland Conn-

the latest demand that the United

presence of Senator La Toilette. At
the suggestion of Mrs. Robert B.
Dashiell, who has a son and SON
in-law in the service of the United
States, the members of the local
branch of the State Council of De-
tense decided to present to the
monthly meeting of the State Council
at its meeting at 91S St Paul street,
|. Baltimore, a motion that a telegram
be sent to the Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee requesting the ex-
pulsion of Senator La Toilette. As
a result the following telegram, Of
fered by Mrs Theodore W. Johnson,

fort that the government is making

Every State. county, and town IN

Comments on Picture At
Republic Tomorrow

NepuDlc lOmoIrOW
These enthusiastic comments from
New York newspapers show the &C.
claim with which "Polly of the Cir
Gus" was greeted:
American: As film play "PoIlY
! of the Circus" is an emphatic hit. It
is a triumph for Miss Mayo, Miss
Marsh and its producers.
Herald: The production was Of the
highest order, and the work Of the
star, who holds place in the hearts
of all who have seen her on the screen,
was most appealing.
Sun: Film version Of ''Polly of the
Circus" scores at the Strand Theatre
The picture is good augury that the
name of Goldwvn shall not perish
from the earth.
Times: Sincere attempt TO improve
the motion picture all along the line.
A careful and painstaking piece Of
work
Telegraph: An artistic triumph.
All who see Polly" will agree that
the company has not.only fulfilled all
its promises, but sets a new standard
for artistry on the screen.
Tribune: In producing "Polly of
the Circus" nothing has been over
looked in story, direction or casting
which could contribute to the success
of the picture. There is but one crit
icism. 1t is going to make as all
dresdfully dissatisfied with the usual
photoplay.
World: A rare combination Of
pictorial and storytelling effective
ness has the same pathetic
appeal on the screen as it exerted on
the stage.

FOOD CHIEFS
LIMIT PROFITS
Must Reckon Advance on
Price Actually Paid for
Necessities.

That the wholesalers profit In war
times. at least on non-perishable
foods, should be governed by the
price he actually pays for the goods
he sells, and not by prevailing mar
ket conditions, is the principle es-
tabIished by the Food Administration
in special regulations which will be
put into effect November 1 with re-
spect to a large number of commod-
tiles.
The rule is one of a large number
, which are now being completed for
the guidance OF the food dealers who
will next week be placed under license
by the Food Administration.
Ruling of Food Chiefs.
II provides that no dealer in cer-
tain specified commodities shall sell
''at more than a reasonable advance
over the actual purchase price of the
particular goods sold, without regard
to the market or replacement value
at the time OF such sale.''
The commodities covered by the rule
include beef. pork and mutton, syrups
and molasses, cleaned rice and rice
flour, oleomargarine. lard and lard
substitutes. oleo oil. cooking fats, con-
densed milk and various canned goods
and dried fruits.
Wholesale dealers in refined sugar
are required by a similar rule to. sell
''at an advance over the refiners'
list price at which he purchased such
sugar greater than the normal mar
gin charged by wholesale dealers in
refined sugar In the same locality or
such margin as may hereafter be
established by the Food Administra-
tion."
Perishable Foods.
With regard TO perishable foods, the
Food Administration announced yes
terday that 1t will make a prompt
and full examination of any locali-
ties In which rises In price occur,
and will deal individually by admin
lstrative orders with dealers charg-
ng excessive prices.
A general rule covering all licensed
foods provided that they shall not
be handled anywhere in the United
states on an unjust, exorbitant, un-
reasonable. discriminatory or unfair
commission profit or storage
charge"
Regular and special reports will be
called for by the Food Administra-
tion from each licensee.
That no business man will be ex-
pected to forego his normal reason
able profits is emphasized by the
Food Administration. The object is
to prevent the acquisition of specu-
lative profits resulting from a rising
market
The Washington herald., 1917-10-28
BRITISH CURB
FOOD PROFITS
Supply Also Regulated by
War Costings Department,
Says Lord Rhondda.

Three general policies in food saw
ing are now being maintained by
three great nations, the United States,
Great Britain and Germany.
The German idea is strict ration
the United States Food Administra-
tion issued figures showing the pres
cnt German ration, which is meagre
as to variety and far below average
dietetic requirements.
The American idea In food saving
is to secure voluntary cooperation as
far as possible from both the public
and the producer and handlers OF food
articles.
British Food Plan.
The British idea lies between the
two. As little compulsory rationing
as possible is imposed upon the gen.
eral public. But there is a far-reach-
ing and rigid supervision of all food
articles by regulating the menufactur-
ers and merchants, by the establish
ment of maxium prices, and after
December 20 rationing cards are to
be issued for sugar.
A statement just issued by Lord
describing the British system OF food
control gives a clear picture for COM
parison OF the food saving measures
which are now being followed in the
United States.
Lord Rhondda says in part:
My aim is to safeguard the inter-
ests Of the consumer, to do away with
profiteering altogether. and to prevent
excessive profits of any kind. The
policy is TO limit profits at every
step from the producer to the con-
sumer. and at the same time to regu-
late supply.
"a Costings Department under the
direction OF chartered accountants has
been set up. through which the
profits made by any manufacturer
or retailer OF food can be ascertained.
The country has been divided into
separate areas, in each of -hich a
leading firm of accountants has been
appointed by this department to do
the necessary work. Reasonable profit
based on prewar rates, is added 70
the present cost. and price limits
agreed on that basis. after consulta-
ton with the representatives Of the
trades concerned.
shtccu oThC0.
Decentralization is obtained by d.
viding Great Britain into sixteen food
divisions. consisting of so many
counties. Each division is under the
superintendence OF commissioner
appointed by the Food Controller. In
each OF these divisions the borough.
urban or rural district councils, or
ether local authorities, appoint local
food committees. with limited powers
and certain discretion. to carry out
such regulations as regards price and
distribution as may be issued from
headquarters.
Local tradesmen are registered
with their local committees, and II
any tradesman does not carry out
regulations and orders he may be
struck off the register and prevented
from further trading.
