These statisticians at Storrs col lege, who figure out the cost of producing milk, evidently are better at high finance than they are at feeding cows and selling milk. They say it costs the Connecticut farmer nine and Ia half centst quart to produce milk. Now we are not willing to set ourselves up as professional mathematicians but we do not believe that any dairynlan in this state honestly believes that every quart of milk he produces costs him any such sum, particular I ly in the summer time with the 1 fields full of splendid feed.
 l It seems mighty strange also that
 if this is so that some of the milk
 men around this section can afford 1 to sell milk for ten cents a quart
 One milk dealer at least, is selling
 milk at that price and delivering il at the house, bottled.

Connecticut has been in the fore
 ground in congress the past week. Senator Brandesee's pertinent ques- tion as to the reason the navy de- | partment had not warned vessels of l the danger of U-boats off the coast 1 if it had been informed of their pres ence by incoming ships, as was re- | ported to have been the case. stirred a
 debate in the senate which brought 1 partisan politics to the surface. Sen
 ator Lewis, who is an ardent sup porter of the administration from the
 president down to the most obscure
 enploye, fired hot. shot across the
 aisle to the republican side of the
 chamber. as he replied to Senator 1 I5randegee,- who sat calmly by and let the storm rage. Finally Senator Nelson of Minnesota demanded to lnow of Senator Lewis, if he thought
 'assailing the republican party would keep U-boats from attacking vessels

Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1918-04-04

Bowser took a seat at the piano and
began to strike chords. He let the
bass keys alone and used only the
treble. If he used any of the bass
keys they might sound like a brick
bat falling close to the dogs heels and
thus arouse his Ire.
Slowly, very slowly, the tender keys
were pressed down and held for two
or three seconds, and then the right
chord came. The bulldog cooked his
ears, gave a growl which sounded like
distant thunder, and with a sudden
lunge he broke from his master and
ran across to the divan. Here he
seized a sofa pillow In his mouth and
had 1t In threads in a moment and
feathers flying all over the room. He
had served a second pillow In the same
way when the two men interfered. In
the melee which ensued both were Bit

Just at this moment the original of the
portrait opened the front door and

er. Mr.. Bowser sat down to rub his
bitten leg and face the music, bu'
there was no music to face. Mrs. Bow
er came in and looked around, and
then, as she began to remove her hat
she said:
"oh, yes. read that same article,
ana was going to suggest that you
try 1t some time. see you have been
trying It, and hope you found it Q

musical chords. Here, you internal
old cat, come down from there and
take a seat In a chair while practice
on you little"
He wanted to touch the cats sympa-
thy chord, and he persisted for five
minutes and made a failure. Then, by
chance almost, he touched the right
chord. It was a chord In the air ''The
Sweet By and By" The cat responded
to It instantly. Her heart was touched.
She gave q yOwl and went out of the
open window into the back yard and
licked seven cats one after the other.
Mr.. Bowser didn't know whether to
be satisfied or not. he was bordering
IL over in his mind when he heard the
cook fussIng around in the dining
room. She was making too much
noise and he could hear her talking
TO herself and complaining Of her hard
life. He would find a chord to calm
and quiet her, and If she wanted a
raise In wages to make her forget It.
He struck q chord that he thought
would do the business. 1t did. He
heard her broom drop and she came
gathering upstairs and looked into the
sitting room and exclaimed:
"Why, Mr.. Bowser, what was that
1 thought bad boy had thrown O
stone through the window and you had
tumbled out of your chair dead"

"Then, If you don't mind 1t, please
don't play any more, for / certainly

bird. That chord might appeal to
their sympathies, their aggressive
ness, their loneliness, their joy, their
calmness, and so on through the
schedule.
The writer cited one case where an
elephant had his sympathies wrought
upon 50 that he sat down and cried
like child. There was also one where
a man took a harp to a geological
garden and played on it in front of
a tigers cage. He hit the tigers
aggressive chord, and the animal got
out of his cage and terribly bit and
clawed two or three patients. Again,
when he struck a lively chord of the
hippOpotamus, the old fellow went
waltzlng around and his eyes spark
led with joy.

Mrs. Carico, a middle-aged and talk
alive ruralist, was appearing In a suit
brought by her husband. She insisted
on loudly commenting on each answer
given by the first witness. Repeatedly
the Judge requested her to keep quiet,
but she persisted In audibly disputing
the words Of the witness. Finally the
judge said:
Mrs. Carico, the court demands that
you remain quiet. Unless you do so
you will be held In contempt"

woman turned to her attorney and in

stay here where such things are GO
ing on"
Mr. Bowser hadn't hit 1t yet. The
people across the alley, with the front
of the houses facing on another street,
had their back windows open, and his
eye caught a human form seated at
one of the windows.
"There's my chance" he whispered
as his eyes came back TO the keys. ut
is a girl or woman who is in sorrow,
and thinks there is no more joy or
pleasure for her in this life. I will try
and find the joy chord and give her
new emotion"
Mr.. Bowser began with great de-
liberation to strike every key on
the board from left to right, and he
kept his eye on the figure in the win
dow as he did so. He had almost
reached the end, when he struck a
chord that seemed to float out and
culver around with a sort of Fourth
of July chorus. The figure instantly
changed position, and the woman lean
ed out of the window and shook her
fist and shouted:
aye old dlvil ye! Has a poor wom-
an, who has been over the wash tub
all day, got to submit to such an in
fernal racket as this, when she could
catch nap by this cool win
dow. Stop that clatter or 1 will blow
the whistle for n policeman, and he
will soon yank you out Of there"
Mr.. BOwser had failed again. Per-
haps he should have played on q harp
instead of a plano. He pulled on the
curtain of the window, and was about
to abandon his experiments, when the
dOorbell rang. He went to the door,
and there stood a man with bulldog,
and the man said:
"This is Mr.. Bowser, believe"
at is"
"Well, Mr.. Bowser, the butcher was
telling me that you wanted to buy a
bulldog, and so 1 brought mine over.
He is worth every cent of fifty dol
lars, but, as / am hard up just now, l
will take half of that"

any kind" replied Mr.. Bowser, 'but
wish you would bring your dog In here

man.
"Oh, no. am going to play the
piano a little, and see how he Hikes
it,"
"That won't do no harm, think,
but you must take the risk of 1t. A
bull dog, Mr.. Bowser, is an animal
that you can't fool with. Sometimes
he will lick your hide, and sometimes
he will try to get at your throat. I
will watch him closely, however, and
/ guess he will be all right"
The man took a seat, and the dog
sat up and looked around him. If he
had any idea at all, it was that his
owner was going to sell him, and he
had objections to that, for everything
looked nice and comfortable. Mr..
