A New Name for the Scrubs.

From farmer in Wisconsin comes
new word for use in the Better
sires-Better Stock" campaign now
being carried on by the United States
Department OF Agriculture in coopera-
ton with state and local agencies.
He applies new title to the reaction
aries Of bovine society, and cites the
indubitable fact that scrub bulls are
the enemies of good production; that
they levy upon the milk, cream, and
butter checks and compel the farmer
to keep cows, where the cows should
keep the farmer.
With these charges in mind and
with his eyes on the international sit
uation, this farmer suggests that the
scrub bulls be known hereafter as the
Bulsheviks.

toms OF war flying high above the
conquered German naval ensign
these surrendered ships will soon
enter New York Harbor. American
crews have already been dispatched
aboard to bring home these great
trophies.
There are the first real prizes of
war that have been won by the
Navy in our times. In the Spanish
American War the Spanish armored
cruiser Maria Teresa" surrendered
at the battle of Santiago but was
lost at sea and other than a few
small gun boats captured at Manila
Bay and in Cuban waters, the Navy
had no real big prizes from the war
with Spain.
The Treaty of Peace ended once
for all the German Navy. Only
the treachery OF the German Admiral
robbed the Allied navies of the best
OF the surrendered ships. for so we'll
had the Germans done their work
that the new battle cruiser "Hinden-
burg" could not be salvaged.
