The pictures tell a story. Some cows
have good udders, udders that yield
large quantities Of milk. Others have
bad udders, udders that reduce the
market value of the COW. Keep the
COW with the good udder, the COW that
produces much milk. Udder (a) ia q
good one; all OF the others have de-
fects that you will easily recognise
After the selection Of the COW by the
udder, look to the milk pail and see
whether she IS the good COW she seems
to be. Looks are sometimes deceiving,
even In the udders of COWS. Keep the
cows that produce such milk.

en- the axe of jealousy and dis
cord, and sooner or later one or
the other of this pair will rest be-
meath the tombstone. Then look
out for the birthstone.

With this number added to our lists we
can make the News much better. Or

your subscription and influence has a
retarding effect on the desire of the

Rev. T. J. Carr Protests.

One day last week Rev. T.. J. Carr,
pastor of Memorial Baptist church,
while traversing one of the city's prin-
cipal thoroughfares, discovered con-
spicuously displayed in the front win
dow of restaurant, operated by
Greeks, sign reading: "COLORED
PATRONAGE NOT DESIRED" This
struck him as something peculiar for
the. Capital of Minnesota that has
upon it's statute books law that pro-
hibits such discrim nation, so he and
another man who happened along went
into the place and protested against
any such insulting sign being dis
played. An effort was made to see
the proprietor but he could not be To-
Gated, so after expressing his indig-
nation in the strongest terms at his
command, he and his companion went
to Central police station and laid their
complaint before Chief of Detectives
Wells and he at once called up the
place and Informed the managers that
ii the obnoxious sign was not removed
within an hour, the proprietor would
be arrested. 1t is needless to say
that the sign Immediately disappeared.
So much for the manly protest of Rev.
Carr. Let all who read this follow the
example of Rey. Carr and protest
manly, firmly but nationally against
any sort of race or color discrimina-
lions that may come to their notice.

selves"
