ESTIMATED VALUE OF cows
Total Yearly Product Of $66.o9 Given
by New York College of Agricul-
ture--cost Of Keep.

Estimates on the value of the aver
age dairy cows product in New York
state, made by the college Of agricul-
ture, give yearly total of $66.09
Costs of maintaining her are estimated
at S61.S5, not including the cost of la

NO ALARM NECESSARY
OVER SUGAR SHORTAGE

There has been what might be
termed a sugar famine in Lancaster
this week. several of the merchants
being entirely unable to get a new
supply in time to accommodate their
patrons. There is no need to get
alarmed over the matter, however,
as the reason for the temporary
shortage is apparent. The United
States government has taken over
the sugar crop, and the distribution
of it is in the hands of a committee.
For several days it has been impos-
sible for the wholesale houses to get
it, but they announce that there is
plenty of sugar, and our people have
no cause to get alarmed.
There is one thing that Food Com
missioner Hoover requests of our
people, which is reasonable, and
that is that no family attempt to
hoard up a large supply Buy your
sugar as you need it, If hundreds
of families should buy up large guam
titles for the sake of being ON the safe
side, it might necessitate the govern
ment taking more drastic methods.
Don't be piggish. Ten or twenty
pounds of sugar is plenty for any
family at any one time Buy your
sugar as you need it, and you will
always be able to get it as well as
your neighbOr.

Moving picture shows in Lancaster
Will cost less than fifteen cents a per-
Torrance for adults in the future and

following stern conditions:
For two years all houses under

per cent Of all gross receipts whether
large or small. The federal govern
ment also collects Is cents for every
thousand feet of film every time it is
run or with the average run of five
reels twice in an evening, $3.50.
The upshot of the matter is, movie
men say, that the public must either
pay for its pictures or go without
electric theatres altogether. They
claim to have operated at small

creased tax will simply wipe them off

Mozet left Fort Smelling on Friday
