SUCCESS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
and Followed, That Herd May Be-
come Uniform.

For best success in the dairy bust
ness one Of the dairy breeds should
be selected and followed, that the
herd may become uniform, care being
taken to get good cows with which
to start. There is more difference In
the cows of any breed than there is
in the different breeds, says one
writer.
A profit can only be expected from
good cows, so better start with five
good cows than 20 poor ones. With
five you will find satisfaction, less
work and more profit. If you expect
to raise the heifer calves for future
use be sure they are not only sired
by registered bull, but that his ped
tgree for great production Of nnilk and
butter runs back for FIVE or more
generations on both sides.
We cannot all see our way clear to
begin with registered COWS of high
merit. Good grades can usually be
bought costing but little more than
scrubs and by careful breeding a herd
will soon be raised which will be both
a pleasure and profit.

Of New York, hus opened a Paris
branch to handle the rapidly increas-
ing volume OF French business.
This action may surprise many per.
sons who had thought Of France as
bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bank, however, gives figures indi-
eating that France Is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems with
q stout heart and never failing cour-
age, but Is re-establishing her export
business with this country.
In 1914, the year Of the outbreak of
the war, imports from France to this
country totaled $141, 446.252. This to-
tai was reduced to $77,15s.74O in 1915,
but last year the value Of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to
k102, OF, O60.

The liberty that America has enjoyed
For 40 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords Of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns Of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
independence, and from the private
purse Of King Louis himself came the
1rst loan to America-unsecured and
unconditional--to finance that historic
undertaking. It was with entire JUS

smokelessness is a complication of
diseases that will undermine the con-
stitution of the best fighters in the
world
One hundred million dollars was
raised by American people for the Red
Cross simply because the need of this
great organization was made plain to
them; not much in the way of appeals
merely the simple statement that the
Red Cross must have this sum for its
service in France.
And all America gave-and gave joy
fully.
Here is a similar cause. Do you
doubt that our boys must have this
tobacco? Surely the press is full of
the imperative need for smokes. No
other provision has been made for to-
bacco, so volunteer organizations must
provide it. And that is what the News
and some 200 other papers and maya
zines in the United States are trying

planned, oTer a peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives Of Amer
lean engineers and business men In this
work.
Aside from It's attractive business
aspect, the enlistment Of American
money and effort in the great task Of
reconstruction that will remain at the
end Of the war will tend to cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge In part
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress Of the United States from
the beginning Of It's life as a nation.
In Judging the Industrial status Of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption Of coal, iron, and steel and
the growth Of it's transportation sys-
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1859, French industries consumed
q million tons Of coal, Of which 1876
millions were taken from home mines.
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil
lions, of which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output Of cast
iron was 100000 tons, and of steel,
100000 tons. In 1914, France pro-
duced 5,311 900 tons Of cast iron and
4,655,00 tons Of steel.
The increasing activity of her rail-
way system Is similarly demonstrate
able. In 1859, there were In France
1O,743 miles Of railway track; In 1912,
there were 81, $40 miles.
Between 1869 and 1912, inland navi-
cation increased $50 per cent: while
the traffic of her mercantile marine
has amazingly expanded. The tonnage
entering French ports In 1869 is set
down as 100000 tons. In 1912
this had been increased to 100000
tons.
Leaders In American finance ascribe

ton. can make SO good q showing.
France Is particularly fortunate In
that her small investors prefer "safe"
investments rather than offerings
which promise high returns. Govern
ment rentes, In France are perpetu-
al, and this characteristic seems to OBJ
tain for these government bonds in
creasing favor In the eyes Of the
French people.
The points Of sympathy between
France and America are too many to
enumerate, but the spirit of liberty and
Its resultant democracy are, today as
always, the major ideals Of both ma
lions. Seeking no victories but those
Of peace, no territory except their own,
no sovereignty except sovereignty over
themselves - the independence and
equal rights Of the weakest member Of
the family Of nations are to the people
Of the United States and Of France en-
titled to as much respect as those OF
the mightiest empire. In defense Of
these principles, France Is engaged in
a death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and 1t Is
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friendly
states 7,O0O,O00,000 francs with which
to further the cause Of democracy. It

WHOLESOME WATER FOR cow
Whether In Barn or Pasture, Animals

Supply Twice Daily.

The average cow under normal con-
ditions will drink about nine or ten
gallons Of water daily. Whether in
the pasture or In the barn, cows should
have access to an abundance Of fresh
water twice daily. Unless there are
good flowing springs, the best water
comes from wells and may be pumped
by windmills or gas engines. 1t is un-
wholesome for them to drink from

sound banking system, centralized In
one Of the greatest banking institutions
Of the world, the Bank Of France; Sec
ond the ingrained thrift and frugality
of the French people as q whole, to-
gether with national economic vigor
not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise
supervision, and patriotic cooperation
by the government with banking and
business interests.
The government does its part to war
rant and retain the confidence Of the
holders Of it's securities. One Of it's
wise policies Is to impose new taxes to
defray the interest charges on new Sc
curity issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco-Prussian war, and is
today following the same rule In regard
to securities issued to finance the pres.
ent conflict. This continuity Of pur.
pose, doubtless, Wilt prove reassuring
to all holders Of French government
securities.
The Franco-Prussian war Of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning Of thrift and economy SO
we'll did they learn this lesson, that
the whole sum Of the indemnity de-
manded by Germany, $1,OOO,OOO,OO0,
was raised within the republics con-
fines by its own inhabitants and paid
off more than one year before the time
stipulated by the Germans.
The habit thus acquired has never
been forgotten by the French, and to-
day the aggregate number Of investors
purchasing the French war loans has
reached the amazing total Of 100000

Joint Hearing Develops Dis

Members of the Senate and House

There will probably be another hear
ing the following day and it is expect

supplemental to the report of the
Economy and Efficiency Commission
and while it is not called a probe it
looks as though the members were
cunning for something.
The result of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Patton's examination yesterday
was that members considered there
should be better itemization of the ap-
propriations for the department. Men
connected with the department are
assigned to various work and paid
from various appropriations. Mr.. Pat

BRITAIN NEEDS
MANY MORE MEN
G erm any Said TO Be in
Stronger Position Than
Ever Before
BY Associated Press

London, April 5. - General Sir Will
liam r. Robertson, chief of the I'M
perial staff at army headquarters, ad-
dressed a conference or trades union
lists yesterday for the purpose of ex-
planning the governments proposals
on the question of man power. Arthur
Henderson, member of the war coun-
Gil, presided and the minister of mu-
nitions and other members of the gov
ernment were present. Admiral Sir
John r. Jellicoe, first sea lord, also
gave his views of the situation.
General Robertson emphasized the
fact that while the war office was not
a leech it must have more men to meet
the desperate effort the enemy was
now making. His speech, as officially
given out, was in part as follows:
Our progress with the war is bound
to be slow because of the colossal
numbers engaged and because Ger
many derived a great advantage at the
start. 1t is difficult and long busi-
ness to make up for bad start.
England Not Disturbed

fools of us and laying traps. We are
not in any way disturbed by her. At

all times pessimists are towards, while
in war time they may be classed as
criminals. Whatever happens, keep a
cheerful face. The optimists say Ger
many is defeated and is therefore re-
treating. Both are wrong.
Germany is retiring because she
dare not stand up to further punish
ment in the positions. she occupied. No
one retires in war voluntarily. But she
is not.yet beaten. She is going back
in the hope of becoming stronger, and
numerically she is stronger now than
at any time during the war. =
She has now many more divisions in
the field than. last year, and has in
creased the number of her soldiers by
about one million.
I'VE must meet this desperate
enemy effort and must have men. We
ought not to expect to win a war such
as this unless and until evey man and
woman in the country does a full days
work of an essential nature. =

ANTIDOPE BILL
HEARING NEXT
Measures Dealing With the
Drug Curse Will Come Up
on Tuesday Afternoon

The opening gun of PENNSYLVANIA S
night against habit-forming drugs will
be fired In the Senate caucus room
next Tuesday afternoon when the
nearing on the various dope" bills
VIII be held by the House committee
on health and sanitation. This room
was selected because of it's seating
capacity. Chairman Sigmund ]. Cans,
OF the committee, will preside and
competent speakers from Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and other sections of the
state will be present. Chairman Cans
said that women and boys would be
excluded from the hearing because tile
SUBJECT is going to be discussed freely
and it is understood that some of the
speeches should be heard by men only.
There are bills in the Legislature
from Senator Edwin II. Ware and Rep
resentatives John c.. Sullivan, of Pitts
burgh; Theodore Campbell, of Phila-
delphia, and Samuel A. Whitaker, of
PhoeniXville. The Sullivan bill was
drafted by Civilian Aid Archibald
Mackrell, of the Pittsburgh depart
ment of public safety, who has made a
study of the subject He will be one
of the speakers and has requested that
the women and young men be eX-
cluded, as he does not wish to excite
the curiosity of the latter and does
not care to tell his story, which is said
to be beyond the conception of normal
beings, before women.
Senator Ware will speak and it is
likely that DIR. John Hawkins, of the
Allegheny County Medical Society. will
also be here. Captain James Tate. of
the Philadelphia detective division,
will be here, as will the dope" squad
of the government forces in Philadel-
phia. This is one of the most impor-
tant hearings scheduled for this ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The Ware bill has drastic punish
ment for those who sell the drugs.
such as cocaine, morphine, heroin and
the like, to the victims. The children
in the public schools have become
addicts in some instances and it is
hoped that a bill will come out of the
Legislature that will make it impos-
sible to procure the drugs, and if any
dealers takes a chance to sell it, to
send him TO the pnitentiary for a big
portion of the remainder of his life
The Harrison act passed by Congress
has failed to stand the test and Civilian
Aid Mackrell has gotten opinions from
public safety authorities from all over
the country in which the habit form
ing drug is named first as the greatest
menace to humanity at the present
There is a great deal of interest in
the bills. The agitation for some legis-
lation seems real, with strong backing.
