DAIRY COW HOLDS
 CENTER OF STAGE
Keen Rivalry Expected Among Five Leading Breeds at
 Springfield Exposition.

Real war veterans with horns will have a high place of honor at the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show in Springfield, Mass, Sept. 15 to 2O Because they gave millions Of pounds of milk and milk products to keep up the strength of those at home who denied themselves meat SO that the boys in France might have it, the dairy COW, will appear in the show this year in brighter blaze of glory than ever before.
 There are two reasons for an in terest in the Exposition's mammoth dairy department even exceeding that felt in past years. In the first place, there is the natural healthy rivalry between the breeds, keener lust now than ever before. Breeders of all types feel the present is cru cial time ill their relations with New England. The whole North Atlantic region they are convinced, is awake as never before to the need of vastly increasing its live stock for the sake of restoring and maintaining it's az riculture.
 Beyond this rivalry for trade and prestige, the breeders have another motive for putting on record exhibit at Springfield. The breeders feel concerted effort on the broad scale which the Eastern States Exposition affords can do more to drive home the lessons the public has learned about the wider use of milk foods and to make the increased demand permanent than any other method.
 . Entries and promises of entries on hand at Exposition headquarters in dicate the five leading breeds of dairy cattle will show a round 600 head They are coming from great dis tances. The old favorites of the region, ayrshires, and holsteins, will be on the defensive against the brilliant case the newer guernsey, jersey ano milking shorthorn interests will be present at the Exposition which offers an unexcelled chance this year for the practical farmer to study the com parative merits of all five breeds.
 The Dairy Show department will bt managed by w. H. Tomhave of the Pennsylvania State College, one o1 the country's leading live stock au- thorities. as superintendent.

HERMIT OF NORTH ATLANTIC
Small island of Eriskay, on Southern Coast of Scotland, Deserves
 the AppeIIation.

Just off the southern coast Of Scot land the tiny island of Eriskay rises abruptly from the sea, as rocky and barren bit of land as even the Scot tish coast can show. The rough wa ters of the Atlantic beat angrily against its steep gray walls, or rush madly up the white-sanded beach of the western coast. Stormy winds sweep the tiny island from coast to coast in unbridled fury. Nature seems to cast herself in accumulated rage against Eriskay's few sparse acres.
 The defenseless victim of storm and sea, this tiny scrap of an island is pa- thetic in its utter solitude. It is the hermit of the northern Atlantic, the recluse among islands. Its people, chiefly descendants of Jacobite refu- gees from Scotland, are quiet folk the ocean has taught them to endure in silence.

HOW SAILORS HAY GHOSTS"
Men of the Sea Give Short Shrift to Matter-of-Fact Spooks That
 Annoy Them.

The first lieutenant had just been relieved, writes q. s. T.' in the Lon don Mail. and was vending his way from the destroyer's bridge to his cabin. It was fairly calm, but very dark, and there was little to be seen but line of waves on each side and the dim form of second destroyer in station astern. Even for this NO. r. had no eyes, for he had had weary middle watch and bed was his only interest. But he did notice a weird figure, apparently human crawling about near the 'bandstand" of the after gun.
 He went to investigate and found the surgeon prObat:Oner. clad in a chamOis leather overall suit, in which he had been sleeping on the ward room couch below-for every one must sleep more or less clad, ready to turn cut at moments notice. He was feeling about in the dark, ap- parently in search of something.
 "What on earth are you doing, Doc!" he asked, and got the brief an swer. Laying ghost" The first lieutenant grunted and disappeared below, leaving the doctor to insert a paper wedge between loose rattling shell and the side of the stand in which it was placed.
 A ghost, in naval language, is a noise which cannot be accounted for In destroyer one becomes con | nOisSeur in noises.
 The steering gear clanks heavily at intervals and the rhythmic beat of the engines is always there, changing only when the speed is altered. In heavy weather the washing and beating of | the water makes a hundred noises. But ghosts are extra noises and | should be avOidable. Some misplaced or ill-fitting article or a loose screw | may cause the noise, and with the ships vibration 1t will knock or rattle with a regular persistency that will drive the most placid mind nearly to frenzy, and sleep will rarely be the victims portion until he has left his warm bunk and found the cause oI the trouble and the ghost is laid.

The sandy, wind-swept beach Is holy ground to his heart. History tells how Prince Charlie, the hero of Scot tish song and story, landed here when he came to recover his fathers king dom.

Rome, Sept. 27.-Prince EMO di-
Paterno,> who has been imprisoned
since 1911, wher he brutally muir
dcred the Countess lrigona. LADY,
in-waiting to Queen Helena, has
gone stark mad and now believes
that little bird he found flying
about his cell is the reincarnation of
the beautiful countess who has re-
turned to grant him pardon.
The circumstances of the murder
were particularly revolving and cre-
ated sensation because of the po-
sition of the victim and the esteem
in which she was held by the queen.
Countess Trigona was madly in love
with the prince, although married
to the Count Trigona and the
mother of two little girls. She at
tended love tryst in an obscure
hotel and was slain by Palermo be-
cause she refused to give him $4,000
to recoup his gambling losses.
Palermo shot himself in the head.
The bullet lodged in the brain, but
did not prove fatal, and after a long
trial he was sentenced to life inn
prisonnent with seven years solitary
confinement.
The mental-condition of the once
brilliant young cavalry officer be-
came apparent when he was re-
moved this weeA from the peniten-.
tiary of Portolongone to Pisa, where
he is to undergo an operation for the
extraction of the bullet, which
caused him acute pain. He stepped
off the gapgway at Leghorn, walk
ing skeleton, clinging tightly to
square parcel covered with light
gauze.
The wardens pounced upon him
and seized the parcel. Upon OPEN
ing it they found a small cage and
in the cage d little bird. Palermo be-
came hysterical when the cage was
snatched from him and cried: Give
me back my countess Give me- back
my darling!"
Though prison regulations strictly
forbid the keeping OF pets, the pris-
on doctor recommended that the
bird be restored to the mad prince.

WEEDS to Give Her

Hoppe married the girl on June
