It is be- l1eved by members of the committee that he will withdraw his resignation and con- tinue to serve the church here
 In rendering his resignation last Sun day, Dr. Blake stated that he was fear ful that he was standing in the way of the progress of the work of the church. as in his opinion, the members were not responding to his leadership with the en- thusiasm and earnestness he felt neces- sary. He stated that he was considerins call to the First Baptist church of Richmond, Ky.
 The resolutions adopted by the members of the Southsde Baptist church yester- day morning and presented to the pastor in the afternoon follow:
 1, The Southside Baptist church of Bir- mingham in considering with grave con- cern the resignation of it's beloved pas tor. Preston Blake, realizes that in ten dering 1t he is actuated solely by the loftiest motives of love for God, and a sincere desire to do what he deems best for the advancement of His Kingdom on earth through the Lord Jesus Christ A WISE LEADER ?. His ministry here has been con- ducted always in tender love for his peo- pie; but with resolute courage on the side of Christian thought and Christian living. He typifies in his daily life what he proclaims from the pulpit; and up. holds in all it's integrity the doctrinal faith of the church. Under his wise and faithful leadership the Southside church has grown in membership, and in spir- itua1 life, and has been singularly free of internal dissension. We confess, witt humiliation, that we have not performed our religious obligations as we should Such derelictions of duty as have oc. cured are attributable to us. It is oul purpose, by the grace of God, to push forward to the accomplishment of bette, | things
 | g. We truly feel that his work among | us is not finished. We are unwilling ts give him up. We decline to accept hi. resignation. Every member of thi. church loves him with deep devotion. A | this serious juncture we, at meeting o, l the church called to consider no other business unanimously request that h, withdraw his resignation and remain witl us.
 l f. Let a copy of these resolutions b, spread upon the church record as a per manent memorial of the deep affection WI have in our hearts for Preston Blake l the man, the citizen, the preacher, thu | Christian; and copy be presented to hin by committee of three appointed by tn, I chairman as a message of confidence an, 1 good cheer, and that a copy be furnished each of the daily papers.

RIGHT SPEED FOR SEPARATOR
often Nearly one-HaIf of Fat May Be
Found in skim Milk When Ma
chine is Run Slowly.

AS much as 80 per cent variation in
the richness of cream may be obtained
by variation in speed Of operating the
separator. If normal speed is 50
turns of the crank per minute, 70 turns
will bring rich cream and 20 turns will
bring thin cream. a great deal of fat
is lost in the skim milk when low speed
is used. Sometimes nearly One-half Of
the fat may be found in the skim milk
when the separator has been run too
slowly. This demonstrates the fact
that there is only one speed for eco
nomical operation Of the separator,
and that is the right speed. This speed
is indicated on the crank handle.

to that of the Jersey, while Ayrshire
milk is intermediate between that of
these two breeds and the Holstein.
These analyses indicate that the per-
centage of protein in milk increases
with the fat content, but not in pro-
portion. Skim milk from Holstein
milk having 3.3 per cent fat contained
3.5 per cent protein, while Jersey milk
tested Al per cent fat and Al per cent
protein. The variation in the sugar
content showed a similar tendency.
Thus the fat content. of milk offers
a practical basis TO compute the COM
position of skim milk derived from it.

COMPOSITION OF SKIM MILK
Guernsey MIX, Like That Of Jersey,
Has High Percentage Of Protein
and Sugar.

Heretofore the difference between
the percentage Of butterfat in Jersey
cows milk and that of Holstein's has
been often emphasized. Only recently
has the fact been known that there is
considerable difference in protein.
Chemical analyses made by A. II.
Perkins, dairy chemist at the Ohio ex-

Jersey cows has a higher percentage
of protein and sugar than Holstein
milk. Guernsey milk is quite similar

SOAK CORPORATIONS
Supreme Court Upholds Right to Tax
Holding Companies.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The federal
government in supreme court deci-
sion today in litigation with the Sar-
gent. Sutton and Kearsage Land com
panies of Minneapolis, was held to
have authority to collect large
amounts of taxes under the corpora
ton and income tax laws from holding
corporations which are lessons of min
ing land royalties.
The corporations, the court decided,
are organized for profit and doing
business within the taxation clauses
of the corporation tax law.
The court also sustained the govern
ment's contentious that royalties re-
ceived are taxable gross income in
stead of return of capital as commended
by the corporations.

w. l.. Porter, commissioner of parks
and public improvements in Topeka,
was the possessor of $4,000 over and
above what he may have amassed by
his labor, for a few minutes today. A
voucher from the Santa Fe Railroad
company for $4,000 for the Ripley

favor of Mr.. Porter, was received by
the city commissioners this morning.
A master of self abnegation, Porter
himself made the molten in the COM

the voucher to the Ripley park i'm
provement fund.
The communication from E. L.

Santa Fe, offered the services of r. A.

ern lines of the road, and of the me-
chanical engineers at the shops to as
'sist Charles D. Cuthbert. the architect
chosen by the city to make the plans
and specifications for the proposed

peka. in the names of the commission
ers, to President E. P. Ripley, of the
Santa Fee and to the board of direc-
tors of the road.
At the same meeting the resolution
which provided for the addition of
$4,000 to the fund from the general
fund Of the city, was read the second
time and passed by the commissioners
