lowering the efficiency Of the herd
Their harm Is not ended in one gen
Grafton, but continues indefinitely
: With beef at exceptionally high. prices,
sell the scrub bull, for his meat value
far outweighs his dairy worth. A
common practice for the farmer with
a few cows rs to breed to the nearest
bull, regardless of breed, breeding, or
conformation, and as a result dairy
herd Improvement Is slow.
The cost of bull service also falls
heavily on the commercial dairyman
with q small herd, as bulls must be
changed every two or three years to
avoid inbreeding. AS rule, therefore,
he buys a bull calf from the nearest
farmer who keeps the breed in which
he is interested. Too often cost is
the first consideration. Too seldom Is
the bull purebred, and even then au-
thentic production records of his an
cestors are not usually available. The
result is lack of Improvement. =
What a Bull AssociationIs.
A cooperative bull association 10 4
farmers organization whose purpose
is the joint ownership. use, and ex-
change Of three or more high-class,
purebred bulls. The territory COW
cred by the association Is divided into
three or more breeding blocks, and a
bull Is stationed In each block for the
service Of the so to 50 COWS In the
block. Every two years the bulls are
interchanged. Thus, at small cost, a
bull for every go cows is provided for
six or more years. The: cost of bull
service Is thus greatly reduced, the
best of bulls are obtained,sand the man
with limited: means and only a few
cows Is enabled to improve his herd.
Bulls Of Outstanding~ merit are pre-
served for their entire period Of use
fulness. Associations of this kind
teach cooperation, encourage careful
selection Of cows and calves, introduce
better methods Of feeding and man
agement, intelligently fight. infectious
diseases Of cattle, and assist in the
marketing Of dairy stock and dairy
productions. Assistance in organiza-
ton may be obtained by writing to the
Dairy Division, Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture.
One fact cited by the dairy special
lists in support Of the cooperative bull
association is that about three-fourths
Of the 23,9o6,0O0 dairy cows in the
United States are owned in herds Of
less than ten cows. The owners Of
these small herds in many cases can
not afford to maintain purebred bulls,
and for such owners the bull associa-
ton offers the only practical remedy
for the poor quality of dairy cattle
Through bull associations they can i'm
prove their cattle and decrease ex
pense.

Several letters received by rela- tives and friends from Private Mau- rice D. Romm of Go. B, 316th Reg1- ment, relate the spirit of an Ameri- can soldier when he Is wounded and the way in which f0 treats his expe- riences over there. Private Romm writes in 8 letter, dated September 2O that he has travelled and hfked over & considerable part of France and will write a book on a Sammy Wan dering Through France" when he gets back.
 Another letter dated November 16, tells of his meeting Captain Edward F. McGovern of Lafayette street and of the joyousness of meeting some one from his old home town. The letter was written after the cessation of hostilities, and Private Romm writes In part: Now that the Kaiser is licked and the world made safe for democracy, the eternal question is when do we go home. I bet there must have been some rejoicing when this great war came to a finish, and 1t will be day shall never forget--- the 11th month, the 11th day, and the 11th hour.

We landed in the trenches on the z2nd of September and did my little bit as gas sentinel that evening, my peace being dis turbed by the restlessness of the Hun throwing over a few G. l. cans, and our little playmates were rats as big as good sized cats and pretty near as bold as the Huns.
 We started over to No Mans Land on the morning of the 26th after the artillery had given them warning; everyone in my platoon was on the alert and eager to capture their first Hun, but they had run so fast we could only catch a few stragglers and wounded. The 27th day was about the same, but the 18th we had to fight for every inch of ground we took as the Hun had moved his artillery back far enough to open up a barrage or us, and his range was perfect. I car ried a souvenir of that barrage in me for a few days, but a lieutenant of the Evacuation Hospital though there "@9 HO ueeu CI carrying around SucI souvenir so they operated on me and removed it.

LOCAL DELEGATES PRAISE AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS
New England Delegates Active m Convention Held at
 Philadelphia.

Bridgeporters just returned from | the American Jewish Congress held for the past several days at Phila- delphia, speak highly of its achieve ments and the unity displayed by rep resentatives who assembled from all pants of the United States. Just before the close of the session, headed by Nathan Straus the New York phinanthropist and Colonel Harry Cutler, the delegates, among whom were Charles H. Shapiro and Frank s. Cohen, of this city, made a pilgrimage to Independence Hall to pay their respects to the Liberty Belr' on which is inscribed the bibli- cal quotation, Proclaim Liberty throughout the land and all the in habitants thereof"
 For the first time in the history of America "Hatikva" the Zionist Song of Hope, was sung in the Cradle of Liberty and this made a notable inn precision even on the oldest attendants at this shrine.
 Jewish residents of Bridgeport, through their representative Frank S. Cohen, presented to each delegate a copy of a petition for a Republic" in Palestine, and this created much favorable comment.
 Senator Koppelman of Hartford. presented a resolution that no au- tonomy or the rights Of self govern ment be given any new European state until as a condition precedent 1t guaranteed freedom for Jews and upon motion by Charles H. Shapiro representative at large from Connec- ticut that this resolution be consid cred an instruction to the European Commission appointed by the Con gress ito be presented to the League of Nations" tt was unanimously car. ried amidst much enthusiasm ana applause.
