Votes for Women.

A Harvard grad, who might be called
Harold, and sweet young person who
didn't take football seriously sat in the
Yale Bowl on that Saturday. 1t was at
that tragic moment for the Crimson
when Casey had been called back after
7S-yard run for touchdown be-
cause there was holding in the line.
The grad was nursing a pent-up ex-
plosiOn.
"Oh, Harold" cried the young per-
son; "why are they going to make
him do it over? Did he run too far?"
The grad simmered more danger
ously.
"No, Ethel" he said, at wasn't that.
Somebody sneezed."

USE SHORTH0RNS FOR DAIRY
American Association Representing
This Class Fixes Basis at 60
Per Cent for Milk,

The question Is often asked, in judg-
ing dairy, or dual-purpose Shorthorn
cattle, how much is allowed for beef
and how much for milk The Ameri-
can association representing this class
of cattle fixed the basis at 60 per cent
for dairy qualities and 40 per cent
for beef. This is very good basis to
work from. More should be given for

COMMON CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Next to Overlooking Calf Is That OF
Feeding Milk Too cold-Feed
at Blood Heat.

Possibly next to overlooking the
calf on milk, the commonest cause of
trouble is that of feeding milk too
cold.
Feed milk at as nearly blood heat
COS degrees FL as possible and re.
member that 20 degrees below blood
heat may result in u case of scours
with very young calves.

PREVENT LARGE DAIRY LOSS
CONTAGIOUS Abortion Costs Farmer and
stockman $2o,ooo,ooo Yearly in
Dead Calves.

Every farmer and stOckman should
fight contagious abortion in his dis
trict, and do his part to save $2O,OOO,'
600 loss in dead calves and sterile
cows. The disease is preventable and
comfortable. Isolate affected animals,
treat aborting cows, disinfect the bulls
and clean up the premises. This Is
good business for cattle owners.

CHEF FACTOR IN CREAMERY
Much of Success or Failure Depends
Upon Density Of Cream-Thin
Cause of Big Loss.

The density Of the cream is one OF
the most important factors in the sue
cess or failure of a creamery.
Thin cream is chiefly responsible fol-
the abnormal loss of butterfat and
quality of butter and hence the low
price paid tho patrons for butterfat

MORE money FOR
ADDED WAR COST

That 1t will be necessary to install
a switchboard costing $4,000 for
temporary use OF the War Depart
ment Is one Of the arguments ad-
vRnced today by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company in ask
ing the Commissioners for aid in
bearing extra war expenses in wash
ington. The switchboard will become
useless after the war. the company
says.
Let US take more money from our
profits to put into our annual deprs-
citation fund" was what the repre-
sentatives of the company asked OF
the Commissioners at the hearing
yesterday. In their report OF July 2
last. the Commissioners said that the
company should reserve $40 per cent
of their annual profts to insure their
property against losses due to depEe-
ciation. The company asks that this
percentage be increased TO 4.S7. This
difference OF 1.41 per cent. seemingly
small. represents thousands OF dol
lars that might be given out by the
company in dividends to IT'S stock
holders. many OF whom live In WASH
ington-
This is a hard business problem"

sci OF the Bell Telephone Company.
