Aunt Grace brought Peter a bird

There was a wren's nest in a box

a nest just inside the pasture fence
Peter found q little yellow bird max

LINOTYPE MAY BECOME OBSOLETE.

Harry Andrews managing editor of the Los
Angeles Times, predicted few days ago that
the linotype will be thing of the past within the
next ten years.
The statement followed the experience of the
Times in which it recently appeared with one page
printed from photo engravings of typewriter copy.
Mr. Andrews said:
The system we used is not only practicable
but it is immensely So We see improvements that
will be made when it is done again, but am ready
to predict that within years the linotype will be
thing of the past. The use of photo -engravngs is
a simple economic development in eliminating
clumsy Methods
1t said by those who produced the page
that they can repeat the process at a saving in
cost from linotype methods, especially when the
huge investment in linotypes is considered. 1t
was further claimed that at a cost of $1,000 a plant
can be installed capable of turning out COM
rlete twenty-four page paper in total time of
four hours and that the process can be speeded up
to extent which will make it faster than linotype
composition, although the system would require
wider dead line Ia longer period between last
news prepared and press time) at present than the
linotype method. This objection however. it is
said can be largely overcome by improved meth

of the right side of the column and the difficulty
of enlarging typewriter type to head letter size

this is gross mis-statenent, born either of ignor

The South is enjoying measure of prosper

And because forced into it by condition, it
must be admitted the South has found itself. The
South has learned that "all-cotton' has been a
curse instead of blessing; that it has been the
slave instead of the master of cotton But the
South has profited by what it has learned. Today
cotton is selling for somewhere near what it is
worth-something it has rarely done for half a
century And hereafter cotton MUST pay the
producer or he will not produce it. He has found
that if cotton will not pay him fair profit his

NEW CONGRESS WILL GIVE
HEARING TO ALL INTERESTS

Washington, May 2O.-If the bus
mess man, farmer, workingman or
anyone else has any facts to present
to the new Congress relative to leg
islation, he will be gladly heard, ac.
cording to representative Rodenberg
of Illinois.
THE reign of terrorism is at an
end" said Mr.. Rodenberg. Business
men or any men who have legitimate
business before the committees of
Congress will be allowed to appear
without being assailed as lobbyists
with sinister motoves, and without
being intimidated.
Congress will have a vast mass of
important business before it. While
the ways and means committee will
consider the revision of the tariff, no
attempt will be made to pass tariff
bill before the regular session. The
railroad question must be met. The
telephone and telegraph lines must
go back. Economy will be insisted on
and it is difficult to exaggerate the
scope or importance of the business
to be DONE"

Dairy Cow Improvement

The discouragement that comes to
dairyman, is due to several factors.
A man cannot become interested in
an industry that does not pay reas-
enable profit. COW may not yield
a profit for one of two reasons: First
she may not have the producing cap
acity, again she may not be getting
the care to induce her to yield more
milk. We are often tempted to dis
pose of a COW because her test is low
and not take into consideration the
quantity of milk she is producing or
the persistency with which she keeps
up her milk production throughout
the lactation period. We often class
a COW wonder if she gives five or
six gallons by weight when fresh.
While II she is watched closely she
will be seen to drop fifty to sixty per
cent after the first two months. OF
course the drop may be due to the
food she gets, and it may also be due
to her not having the producing cap
acity to hold up. 1t is only possible
to determine these truths by the use
of Babcock tester at least once each
month OF course it requires a little
attention to records to determine
these things with the Babcock tester,
but man is well paid for the trouble
| 1t is possible to go to a dairy com
munity and purchase good cows and
this is the course usually pursued
However. a mighty good producing
herd can be built up by the use
of good bull. A Montana dairy
man was keeping record of his dairy
herd and found that his ten cows pro-
duced an average of 260 pounds of
| butter fat per year and 1900 lbs. of
milk. He purchased "A registered bull
of good backing for 500. The first
generation of hefers from this bull
we're raised and when tested II was
found that they made 1902 pounds moro
butterfat and 1928 pounds more milk
in a year than their dams The bull
increased the profit per COW more
than $4,000 per COW from one gener-
alton to the other

already designated that they want to

ones they may have in their herd.

Remember the Western Slope Fair

the chance for an interesting exhibit

who can make an excellent showing.
The rules and premium will be an
nounced later.
The result from the shipping assoc

while for those who raise hogs. They
do a great deal in community to
keep up the price of live stock for
every farmer in the community wheth-
er he belongs to an association or not.
The simple fact that an association Is
operating in a community has strong
tendancy to bring up the prices at

Newport daily independent., 1919-02-11

In the presence of large number of friends a last tribute was paid one of our oldest and most highly respected women.
 Mrs. Ellen Dorothy Hirsch Snetser was born in Cincinnati January 28, 1844, being 75 years old. She was married to Thomas D. Snetser Mo- vember 10, 1864 at Newark, Ohio, and in 1878 came to Arkansas and settled at Judsonia, and later on moved to Searcy. Twenty-two years ago the family moved to Newport, where they have since resided. When only eleven years old the deceased joined the Bap- tist church, and has continuously liv- ed a consecrated, Christian life, no better woman ever having lived. Those knowing her never doubted her sincerity and she was loved and hon. ored by everybody. Faithful in ev- cry detail of church work entrusted to her, she was sadly missed when ill health kept her at home for so many months, when a stroke of par alysis eleven weeks ago ended in her death Monday afternoon.
 To the husband in his loneliness the depth of human sympathy unmeasur- able, is extended, for after union of fifty-four years, the separation is pa thetic and the prayers of many friends ascend to the Father above in his behalf. Besides the husband

the deceased is survived by three sons, William H. and Bert E. Snetser of our own city and Fred Snetser of San Angelo, Texas, who, on account of illness, was unable to be at his mothers bedside. Two sisters also survive the deceased, Mrs I. M. Hol- land of Judsonia and Mrs. Browning of Colorado. Five grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive. These have the sincere symathy of friends in their sorrow.
