SHE rs A VALUABLE COW.
Great Bend Man Has Animal That
Pays for Herself in is Days.

Great Bend, Kan... Dec 25.-In
these days of high prices butter fat,
the bovine mint" is by no means a
rarity, but c. s. Bonner claims he has
the record investment in a dairy COW
that yields the price he paid for her
every fifteen days. Bonner picked
this little red cow which is not dis
tinguished with any pedigree, from a
bunch of cattle that a local shipper
had gathered to ship to market and
bought her for $35. three years ago.
Bonner's record shows that in the last
fourteen months the COW has produced
$874.S0 in milk, or an average Of $2.24
a day.
''She has been we'll fed" said Mr..
Bonner, but no better than a good
dairy COW should be, and is no greater
expense than some cows I have had
that produced only a tenth as much"

American Army
Is There" Writes
French Critic

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA tri-
butte to the new American field army
on the occasion of its first offensive
from Premier Clemenceau's newspa-
per, LHomme Libre, is quoted to-
day in an official Frencn dispatch.
Recalling the part played by the
American soldiers fighting with the
French and English in the CONNIE
Vale and that later on American
divisions covered themselves with
glory in front of Chateau Thierry
and on the banks of the Marne, the
paper says:
"Now the Americans join in the
conflict no longer as contributors to
the French and English forces, but
as an autonomous force acting on
their own resources, maneuvering ac-
cording to tactics of their own and
are likely to keep surprises in store
for the enemy. The American army
is there. Let us joyfully salute her
splendid soldiers, overfowing with
youth and courage. The German
leaders must be feeling some anxiety
as they know how resolute the Amer
leans are. President Wilson has
pointed out that the ending of the
war calls for no admission Of COM
promise.
Samuel Gompers, leader of the
labor party, said in his turn:
This is no longer a war, but
crusade. A crusade undertaken with
unalterable enthusiasm and steady
faith in final triumph
yesterday was good day for the
allies"

Turning to the question of the oc-

those nations must have all their pre-
