MUST SAVE DAIRY
 COWS, SAYS HOOVER
Warns Dairymen Their Herds May Have to Feed Allies
 Children.

The dairy herds of the country must for the benefit not only of the genera ton now engaged in war, but for the future generations as well, the children who will suffer if the herds are per- mitted to dwindle, Herbert c. Hoover National Food Administrator, told dai- rymen at a conference in the dairy show in Grand Central Palace, New York.
 Far beyond our domestic difficulties Parallel with this enormous and con- tinuing destruction in Europe we must build our food resources so as to stand ready for any demands upon us by our allies. It Is of no purpose to us to send millions of our best men to France if we fail to maintain the strength of their men, women and chil- dren on our lines of communication.
 U. S. Worlds Last Reservoir.
 After the war the time will come when we will need to replenish their herds from our own cattle. This Unit ed States Is the last reservoir of men, the last reservoir of ships, the last res- erroir of munitions and the last Yeser- voir of food upon which the allied world must depend if Germany is to be defeated and if we are to be free men.
 Tt therefore devOlves upon us to maintain our present great potential Stronoth in herds fOr thnV cannot ho re-established for many years If once lost. Not only must they be maintain ed as a guarantee to our allies, but they will be vital in the worlds re- generation.
 1.-The day may yet come when the child life of the whole of Europe will be in the hands of an American dairy man. I place this before you on the high plane of service to the world"

 Who Mir. ScovIIIe Is.
 In response to requests for a life sketch of Mir. Scoville, who character isticaliy handled his legislative auto biography in eleven words, mentioning that he was born in Buffalo in 1876, the educational division of the Federal Food Administration for Connecticut has completed the following official biography:
 Robert Scoville, Federal Food Ad- mimstrator for Connecticut, was born January 4, 1878, at Buffalo, N. r., where his father, Nathaniel c. Scoville, a native of Salisbury, Conn.,, was then in business. The elder Scoville died in 1890, but Food Administrator Scoville's mother, Mrs. Frances Wasson ScOvilIe, is still alive and resides with three of her daughters at 10 East Fifty second street, New York city, a fourth daugh- ter living in Salisbury.
 His fathers iron interests requiring his removal to New York, Robert ScO- vile entered Berkley School, New York, graduating in 1893. Upon leaving school Robert ScOville immediately as- sumed the management of his fathers varied interests, many of them scat tered throughout the country, and also took over the active management of the Scoville farm of 1,5O0 acres in Ia conic town of Salisbury.
 Studied Law In New York.
 He found time in connection with his agricultural activities to study law for a year at the New York Law School, and soon after he reached his ma jOrity Salisbury nominated him on the Re publican ticket, and he was elected a member of the house of representa- tives in 1901 and again in 1903. The late Hon. Michael Kenealey was speak CT in 1903 and appointed the youthful member from Salisbury as chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments (House) and a member of the Committee on Interpretations. It was Mir. Scoville's committee that ham, died the report of the constitutional convention of 1902, whose proposed constitution was rejected at a state referendum in October, 1902
 From 1890 to 1913 MT. Scoville trav- eled extensively abroad, visiting nearly every country in the world. His agri- cultural connections have brought him in contact with every state in the Union and much of Canada.
 His brother, Herbert ScoviIle, grad uate from Harvard Law School in 1904 and member of the New York law firm of Dwight & ScOville of 62 Cedar street, Is now in Rome with the Ameri- can Red Cross. His uncle, Jonathan, was mayor of Buffalo and Demo

Constellation Lore.

Constellation lore reflects the char acter of the people who make it. The Egyptians peopled the sky with sym bols of their daily thoughts, and the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, com ing after. changed the Egyptian con stellations to agree with their lives and beliefs. In this manner, during many centuries, some of the original cancellations were forgotten, and in a few cases only a name remained as- sociated with certain groups of stars.

Intelliaenee.

An intelligent person is supposed to be one of cultivated understanding a person who has acquired large store of knowledge, but not necessarily in the schools or colleges, for many high ly intelligent persons have been self educated men and women. InteHi- gence is characteristic of the mind rather than of action or manners. There are highly intelligent people who are socially impossible because of self-conceit or boorish manners.

shaekIinu the remper.

There is an adage somewhere to the effect that the fighter who loses his temper gladdens his enemy. The ex- perts of the prize ring will tell you this is true saying. In further proof we have the Solomonic assurance that he who is slow to anger is better than the mighty. All of which means that anger is weakening. and that the man who permits his temper to rule him has a destructive master.

REPORTS OF M FITS CGTTON--GRAIN-LIVESTOCK.
New York Cotton.

New York, March "A very sharp break in the cotton market at Liver pool was attributed by private cables to reduction of two per cent in the British war risk inSuranc lat, which was calculated as equivalent ia a de- cline of about $4.S0 per bale ln the cost of landing cotton abroad. Tha To- cal market opened at decline of i to 12 points under realizing and local selling, which had been in progress at the close yesterday, but soon turn cd steadier the influence of the lower cables being offset by hope that rc- ducod war risks would encourage cx- ports. May rallied from l.76 to 32.O9 and October from 3009 to 30.4l before the end of the first hour or about 20 points higher as compared with last nights closing figures.
 Liverpool buying was the feature of the mld-morning advance which cX- tended to 32.l7 for May and 3O.5O for October, or 20 to 32 points above last nights closing figures. After the close abroad and the withdrawal of ar bItral orders trading became less act i've and prices sagged off under realiz- ing. Part of the selling by spot houses was attributed to hedging pur- chases in the South.
 The early afternoon reaction to 31.- 91 for May and 3O.2S for October was followed by rather irregular fluctua- tons with prices running about 12 to Is points net higher around 2 o'clock.

Chicago, March 7,-Fresh strength developed in the corn market today owing more or less to assertions thaf much corn acreage might have to be abandoned as a result of a serious shortage of seed corn throughout Hi nois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin Complaints of al ack of cars in Iowa tended also to harden values. Much delivery touched the maximum prices as yesterdays close to shade off with May $1.27 1-8 to IA were follow ed by slight general advance.
 The fact that primary receipts showed a decided falling off in ouan- tlty as compared with a week ago Kept prices on the upgrade most of the time. The close was steady IS cent net higher, with March S1.27 7-SI and May $127 3-8.
 Scantlness of arrivals gave an up- turn to oats. There was a notable absence of selling pressure. After opening a sixteenth down to IS to IA up with May 89 2 to S93 4 the market scored moderate gains.
