FREIGHT JAM HIT YOU?

And by the way, Mr.. Mail Order
House Buyer, to whom did you turn
for assistance when the railway en-
ployes Of the country went on what
was termed an unlawful strike?
Did that mail order house in far-otf
somewhere come rushing to your as
sistance with air ship and motor truck
loads Of goods that you had ordered ?
Did the mail order house help you
out on that rush order Of goods
10, you bet it did not
You turned to the home stores then
for your supplies.
You took advantage of the stock
that the home merchants carry for the
protection Of their customers-a and
you had not been one Of these.
10 getting around it, you must
sooner or later depend on your home
merchants in some emergency.
Why not play square and give them
the benefit Of your trade all Of the
time you will profit by it not alone
T in BETTER VALUES, but in that
SATISFIED FEELING Of a COM

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE INCREASE

On and after June |, the subscription price
of THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS will be
SlOO PER YEAR This increase is abso-
lutely necessary due to the large increased
cost of paper and other materials. THE
PRESS management had hoped that the
peak of prices had been reached and that an
increase in subscription price might be
avoided but such is not true and the in
crease is imperative if we would continue.
However, apprecating past patronage, all
old subscribers may come in and subscribe
and pay for as many years as they desire at
the old price, up to June 1st. This is meant
for OLD SUBSCRIBERS only.

Gompers' non-partisan political pol
icy seems to have some Of the old
fossil senators and congressman up in
the air In the June issue of the
American Federationist, the official
organ Of the A. F. of L. Gompers
states that there must be an "over-
turn" IN congress. Enemies must be
defeated and friends must be elected.
There must be sent to congress men
who understand and men who can be

Quite right, Mr.. Gompers, we need
men who understand right from

Again, brother, are you past due on
the subscription list? If so, get busy
and pay up. If you should fail to re-
ceive your paper after this week you
will know that it is because you are in
arrears and have been dropped from
the roll You surely don't want this
to occur. Remember the subscription
price increases after June to $l.0O
per year Why not send in dollar
for two years subscription under the
old rate Of so cents? At least pay
up and get in good standing.

One of the big reasons for the sky
high price and the scarcity of sugar is
because a person accustomed to his
daily drink of beer and light wine
consumed very little sugar. Now his
taNter is so tuned up to the sweets
that in order to satisfy his new born
thirst and hunger, he munches on the
sugar Give him back his beer and
wine and down will come the sugar.

We are pleased to have SO MANY Of
our old subscribers taking advantage
Of their subscriptions at the old price
before the increase takes effect June

people received the announcement
yesterday that the Board of Trus-
tees of Wofford College had
chosen Prof. A. Mason Dupre to be
dean of the college. The announce
ment came as complete surprise
to Prof. Dupre and to his friends,
who, although they have long recog-
nized his native and professional
abilities and the splendid success
with which he has met, did not
look for such a high honor to be
heaped upon his head just yet.
For many years since Prof.
Dupre's graduation there he has
held a position with his alma mater,
first as headmaster of the Fitting
school and later as full professor
in the college.
A Mason Dupre is the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. F. Dupfe
and has>one brother, DR.. F.. S. Du-
pre- and one sister, Miss Mary Du-
pre- residing Eere. One other broth
er, E. NJ. Dupre is a large farmer
living near Walhalla.
Having been-as most good Spar;
tanburg citizens have been-horn in
city of Abbeville, permits us to feel
that we, too, have been honored by
the Wofford trustees.

increased Car Service to Lake
Erie Ports Makes Certain
Fuel Supply For Winter.
FAMINE IS PREVENTED
Railway Executives and Coal Operators
Agree on Plan To Get Plenty OF
Coat TO lake Porte. c. c.
To Issue Orders.

New York-Plans for increased coal
car service to Lake Erie parasitic
gateways Of the Northwest--to pre-
vent all possibility of winter coal
famine, were agreed ON at confer
ence here between the Association Of
Railway Executives and the National
Coal association, the latter represent
ing the bituminous industry.
The plan will be submitted at once
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for approval and the issuance of
necessary orders to put it in effect
on all railroads.
While details of the plan will not be
made public until after they have
been approved by the Interstate Com
merce commission, statement from
the coal operators said the plan will
permit the movement of sufficient coal
to prevent famine in any part of the
country during the coming winter.
At the Washington conference Mr..
Willard of the railroad executives sug-
gested that the Interstate Commerce
Commission issue formal orders to
railroads of the United States to dump
1000 cars of coal day for the North
west at Lake Erie ports.
BY this method, it is pointed out. the
Northwest will be able to receive the
necessary winter supply OF 2S,00O.O 900
tons Of coal before the lakes freeze. II
will be a matter OF secondary i'm.
portance to find boats to bring the coal
from the Erie points to the Head OF
the Lakes.
At present, II is said. the movement
of coal from the mines to the shipping
points on Lake Erie Is about half nor
NAL. BY the speeding up process. II
was explained, enough coal to prevent
any possibility Of a famine will be
brought within reach Of consumers Of
the Northwest.

COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS

The dairy COW IL commonly recog-
mixed as one OF the main sAurces Of
income on Pine County farms. In a
county where this is true II Is sur
prising to note that there Is not a
single cow testing association In op-
Grafton In the county.
Under the present high prices Of
feed. the number Of "hoarder cows"
has been greatly increased, and we
cannot afford to guess at which cows
are the best and most profitable
cows. but must know from accurate
records obtained by use Of the milk
scale. the Babcock test and the feed
record sheet.
What are the Benefits IL . Cow Test.
Ing Asseciations
First--It detects the Improbable
COW by having record OF the num-
Der OF pounds Of milk and butterfat
produced and also a record Of the
feed consumed, the loss or profit
from each COW il very easily figured.
Let us look at the effect OF COW
testing association In jackson county,
Missouri. The COW testing associa-
tion was formed In 1914.
In 1914 and rs twenty-eight COWS
III
1al5-'is. thirty cows we're sold.
l9l6--'l7. Atty cows were sold.
This increase in Improbable COWS
sold each year was undoubtedly dut
to the fact that the prices of feet
had continually increased. and cows
that had produced a small profit thu
year before were not able to stant
the Increased cost OF feed. Hence
AS feed costs increase. the number
Eof improbable cows will Increase
and COW testing association Il
doubly essential.
Second--lt helps to build up high
err producing herds. In the Jackson
County Association. Missouri. II
three years. average butterfat pro
duction increased 1876 pounds pei
COW.
In the Newaygo Association. Mich
igan. the butterfat production pc
cow increased 10 pounds. At tn
present prices Of butterfat the valu'
Is readily apparent.
Through testing, the unprofitabl
cows are eliminated. the production
OF each COW is known 40 the off
spring Of only the highest producing
cows can be kept In the herd. Sys
tematic selection can be followed I
improve the herd.
Third-It is a help In more eco

$4,000 ARRESTS MADE
Results OF Six Months Enforce.
ment of Dry Laws.
One Out Of Every 1000 Persons In
United States Charged With
Violation Of Liquor Laws.

Washington-More than $4,000 ar
rests were made during the first six
months Of constitutional prohibition
just closed, the prohibition commits
sioner's annual report soon to be is
sued Is understood to estimate.
Data on which to base the report is
being received from Enforcement
agents from all parts Of the country.
A large percentage of arrests were
made by local police cooperating with
Commissioner Kramer but are not di-
rectly responsible to him. The num-
Der of these arrests can only be es-
timated since reports are received only
from federal agents.
A total of $4,000 arrests would indi.
cate that on an average of one in
every. 1000 persons in the United
States was charged with violation of
the prohibition laws This average
however, gives but an inadequate idea
federal officers said. Of the actual mum
her of violations of the law since pre-
sumbayl large number of violators
were not detected.
