Farmers are beginning to appre-
ciate the value of a real herd of milk
producing, COWS. because, they are a
certain source Of income all through
the year. q GEoIs may fail. owing to
an early frost. insufficient rainfall, or
blight. or rnafiy 6ther sons-if the
farmer has no herd he is deprived of
all income. However with a herd of
cows he can Withstand the blow of a
crop failure and manage to finish the
year. tHft
Because Of the importance of this
branch of farm activity, the housing
of these animals cannot be neglected.
They need the best there is in the

Of steel tubing, it is so designed as
to be absolutely safe and at the same
time humane. The COW can rest
easily while held in place. In most
barns of this type the stall floors are
cork brick because of the sanitary ana
resilient qualities of that material. IL
is very easy for the cow to stand on
and the animal is less liable TO con-

BY The officers of the local posts of
the Legion The first object Of the

position of the Legion on the bonus
bill now before congress, he said
that disabled men and their depend

ately. i, ff
I'VE believe that all ex-service men
should receive compensation for the
sacrifices made by them, but those
who are in dire need must first be

The Legion is in favor of bill
which will be presented to the next
congress providing for the consoli-
dation of the war risk insurance bu-

New York-A special to the World
from Washington says: President
Wilson Is in position to permit The
immediate inauguration of plan that
offers the only possible soIut on OF
the existing precarious state of world
trade and also rehabilitation of the
rapidly disintegrating industrial fab
ric OF the United States
This was the assertion made by one
of the leading financiers of the coun
try and a close student of world eco
nomic conditions, in discussing the
proposed plan of coterie of Ameri
can bankers to utilize the approx
mately $450,OO0,O09 Of German prop
erty now held by the alien sproperty
custodian to establish a credit in the
United States of between. $1,000, 900,
900 and $4,000, 100000 for Germany.
Under the plan of the bankers, who
propose establishing an, export eorpo
ration under the provisions of the
Edge law. the credit is to be used ex
clusively for the purchase in this coun
try of cotton, wheat, copper. corn and
general provisions OF which there is
a surfeit, but for which Germany is
starving because the present, low rate
of exchange on German marks pre-
cudes tie possibility OF its accept

goeds
Officials in Washington. who are in
close touch with conditions through
out the country regard the present
condition Of financial institutions ex-
tremely precarious because Of trade
decline in the marekt price Of cotton,
wheat, corn and other commodities
They believe .hat the solution pro
posed by the group of bankers is the
only practicable plan 20 relieve the
pressure on banks caused by the
necessary outlays in the form ssof
loans TO produce the crops.
Appeals to the president to sign
decree permitting the utilization OF
the German property in this manner
have made plain the delicate condi-
tions existing generally and 1t has
been specifically urged that establish.
ment Of the credit would be in the,
nature of. a direct and immediate
panacea, not only for conditions in
this country but for the trade ills OF
the world. - -

Evans was told to throw up his
hands. He did so. and ran. Two
shots were fired at him. Both struck
him in the back. He fell alongside

living room. His wife hurried in. The
negroes turned their pistols to her.
With remarkable composure she
begged to be allowed to give her
dying husband a drink of water. They
forced her to throw up her hands.
One of them locked the front door

cash register of about $50.
They then made their escape. and
Mrs. Evans gave the alarm.
