COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS
PROFITABLE
(By w. J. CorWin.)

The first COW testing associa-
ton was formed in Denmark in
1895. In very few years thru
the aid of this association the
pounds of butter fat per cow
was doubled and the cost of
feeding them materially reduced
by feeding better rations to the
cows that could make the best
use of it. Test associations in
Denmark average % members

Contributions made by resi-
dents of Pine County to the Ma
tional War Work Fund of the
Army Y. M. C. A., which has
now reached $6O,OOO,O0O, are al
ready paying big dividends in
the lives of boys who have gone
from this county to re-
ceive their military training at
Camp Dodge, and other military
points in the west. According
to advices reaching here this
week, the Y. M. c. A. huts in
the big cantonments never have
been SO popular as during the
recent cold weather when thou
sands of enlisted men were driv-
en- inside the buildings for their
amusements, games and letter

place the monographs and pia-
nos, books and magazines form a
happy combination that spells
home" to the boys away from
home.
Many families in Pine County
have received letters from Iowa
and Minnesota boys written on
Y. M. c. A or Red Triangle sta
tionery which is issued without
cost to every man in uniform.
At Camp Dodge recently a total
of 2O3,075 letters were mailed by
the Y. M. C. A. in single
month, all of them having been
written at the benches in the
Y. M. c. A. huts
Y. M. c. A. accommodations
have been provided already in
more than $50 centers in France
for the soldiers in Pershing's ex-
pedition. At the present time
there are more than 1900 Ameri-
can Y. M. G. A. secretaries in
the war zone promoting for IN
Gle Sans boys the same program
they have enjoyed in the big
camps in this country.
When the American troops
took over their section of the
French fighting front there were
eight Y. M. C. A. dugouts for
their exclusive use. These pro-
vided chocolate, sweets of all
kinds, biscuits and knicknacks.
The last thing the American
Troops will get before they go
over the top will be a cup of hot
coffee or tea, a biscuit or two,
some chocolate for emergency
rations and a word Of cheer and
inspiration from the Y. M. c. A.
secretaries.
