COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 22-"Saye the

Officials in charge of the National
Dairy Show to be held here October
1927, have adopted this slogan.
Kill the COW and you will kill the
babies. This truth is proven by the
statistics on infant mortality in the
countries at war" says w. E. Skinner,
general manager OF the proposed big
show.
1T is absolutely essential to the
welfare of the nation that the sale of
dairy cows for slaughter cease at
once.
"Since January l there has been a
decrease of Is per cent in the stock
of mich cows in this country. With
the price of cattle foods so high that
it is hard to make a profit on the sale
of milk, the farmer has sold for
from $50 to 500, the COW for which he
paid $50, and said I'll buy in again
when the price goes down. But he
won't be able to buy when he wants
to if the Strengthening continues.

ton will this year impress upon the
dairymen that it is their duty to keeI
their cows, even if they have to lose
money to do So.
