II. Petersen respectively~-to to

LIBERATION welcoming home
Askov's soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who served in the World

1t was decided to have the

men and their parents in the
basement of the church. 1t is
of course understood that the

ming and are appointing other
helpers.
Other committees are being
appointed by the men to look

year. This requirement marks
what first class Holstein COW
should produce.
BY keeping these figures in
mind and by keeping records
with your cows you will know
when you have average cows or
better or poorer than average.
Holstein cows are noted for
their large size and large pro-
duction of milk. We should keep
these two things IN mind in
breeding Holsteins.
Guernseys.
Guernseys are noted for the
quality of their milk--its rich
ness and flavor. They are also
noted for their economical pro-
duction Of butterfat.
In size, the average weight Of
Guernsey bulls is 1000 pounds
The cows have an average weight
of 1850. The weight of calves
at birth is around 70 pounds.
The average production of
Guernsey cows under favorable
conditions is 5000 pounds of
milk a year, testing 5T and 800
pounds Of butterfat. Their ad-
vanced registry requirement is
the same as that of Holsteins or
$50 pounds of butterfat in a
year.
Through the use of purebred
registered dairy sires of good
quality, grade dairy herds can be
built up that will be equal to
pure bred animals in production.
You have made a splendid start
along this line at Askov. A
little care in the selection of
dairy sires and the keeping of
records with the cows. will keep
you making good progress until
you have established a thorough
ly profitable dairy business.
Your Cooperative Creamery.
| have recently been going
over the records Of your coopera-
tive creamery and find that it
has been making very good pro-
gress. In 1916 it received 89,112
pounds of butterfat. In 1917 it
it received 107, 1888 pounds and in
1918 it increased to 1883
pounds. The average price paid
for butterfat in 1916 was 339
cents. in 1917 it was 45.7 and in
1918 it was 54.6. The average
price paid by all the cooperative
creameries of the state for 1918
was 1896.
For the number of years your
creamery has been in operation
it has done splendidly.

Governor Black is going over the

Did he?
See below comparison Of figures OF

Stanley received 2l9,991 votes;
Black ceived 215,S55 votes; Stanley's
ma jOrity over Black was 4,136. STAN

II Black had been the nominee for

would have defeated him by $3.50
votes.
Governor Black claims that his ma
jority was S,720 votes, which Is true;
but he fails to explain that Morrow
ran more than 1900 votes ahead of
any other candidate on the Republican
ticket, and that his majority was great
er than Stanley's because Of this fact,
and not because of the number OF votes

new member GIVES
COMMONS HARD JOLT
John Jones, "SockIess Jerry" Of
British House, Spurns
Formally.

Every parliament produces a new
character. The American congress
had "Sockless" Jerry Simpson from
Kansas and the British house of COM
mons had Kier Hardie, who appeared
on the floor in workingman's cap and
with workingman's freedom of
speech In the era when the silk hat
form for that assembly and when the
heavy Gladstonian manner was its
model for debate.
John Jones, the new Labor member
from Silvertown, is the Jerry Simpson
and the Kier Hardle of the house of
commons.
The proof Of this Is that his speeches
are punctuated with shocked cries Of
"Orderv from the old-timers, and the
reason for the cries Is that he talks to
the house of commons just as he used
to talk when he was addressing Out-of-
door audiences from soapbox at
Tower hill. which is the forum for in
formal workmen's debates.
"Don't you try to assume so much.
guv'nor" was his first remark to the
speaker. Speaker Lowthar, sitting I'M
Ger canopy, arrayed in his wig and
gown, is parsonage certainly no less
portentous than the chief justice Of
the United States of America, and the
house had shock equal to what the
Supreme court would have suffered
under similar lese majestic.
John Jones got even with the house.
81 want you gentlemen to know"
he remarked, while discussing con-
scription. ("Honorable members" is
the hallowed term for referring to
members of the house) There were
loud calls for "Order!" Mr.. Jones re-
piled:
81 beg your pardon II have made
mistake by calling you gentlemen"
The house saw the Joke and cheered
him.
