BANKER PATRIOTS.

The public Is changing its view of
bankers. Heretofore most people,
rightly or wrongly. have not been used
to associating the banking profession
with disinterested patriotism. There
have been many philanthropic and pub
lie spirited bankers, but their generosity
was usually reserved for practice out

banks They have worked hard, and
spent their money without murmur.
II is due to them that the loan is a
success. Big and little regardless of
locality or politics or personal Views
of business affiliations. they have shown
fine example.
The bankers have done what all
Americans should do. They have
turned their facilities and their talents
to the service OF their country. Their
conduct should nUt lack appreciation.

BREAD. SUGAR AND BUTTER.

Lord Northcliffe, addressing Cleve'
land mass.meeting. called attention to
"A nhase of the food-saving campaign
that many people ignore. He empha'
sized the fact that our food administra-
ton is not trying so much to make US
eat less as to make us save what we
formerly did not eat. but threw away.
Speaking particularly of hotels ana
restaurants, he said:
The greatest trouble is not that so
much food is eaten, but that so much
il spoiled when bread and sugar ana
butter are placed before diners whether
they need II or not" People toy with
such food, consuming only little Oh
il. but "spoiling" the rest. Anyone
who has eaten much in public places
will corroborate this. The remedy, ne
remarks, Is to set before people only
as much food as they really intend
To eat. He would have walters ask
guests whether they want bread, sugar
and butter. instead Of taking for grant
I'd they do.
This may seem like little thlhg'
but in the aggregate 1t is tremehd,
.,usly big thing. Small details of tood
conservation may win the war.

COW MAKES RECORD
REMARKABLE SHOWING BY 4
PURE BRED JERSEY.

BrCokings, Jan. 20.-H. l.. Button,
of this city, is the owner of a pure
brel Jersey COW, Spot Shepard, that
made quite a record as a mixer at
the close of an official test. A years
butter fat test has just been COM
pleted by the American Jersey Cattle
club under the direction of the state
college dairy department, and IL now
recorded i'm class A. register of merit.
This COW was selected from the Prof.
Shepard herd at his dispersion sale
two years ago-then a heifer. The
nerd had been built up through
twenty years of careful breeding.
The official record for the 365 days
under test is, milk, CT pounds;
fat, ALTA pounds; butter (comput-
ed), 496.16 pounds; average per cent
of fat, 6.96. The most remarkable
fact brought out by the test is the
percentage of fat-3h being the le-
gal standard in South Dakota, and 3
per cent in most states. The worlds
record recently established by a Jer-
sey COW in Maine is S.13 per cent
yearly average.)
The average butter fat production
of South Dakota cows is estimated a.
127 pounds per year. This cow, Spo'
Shepard, is now the only n in this
state hal has attained the register o.
