Mr.. McMichales. He stated that the

either to the people affected or TO
South Amboy.
One of the most interesting parts
of his talk were the maps that he
presented. They showed South AMI

PROMOTE FRIENDLY RIVALRY
Milk and Cream Contest Are impor-
tant Feature in Improvement
of Supplies.

Friendly rivalry among milk pro-
1ucers and among dealers is an i'm
portant feature in the improvement
of the milk supplies of cities, United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
perts assert. Any factor which en-
.courages this. rivalry must be given
careful consideration by sanitarians
and all milk authorities. Since the
inauguration of milk and cream con-
tests, in 1906, this method of promot-
ing friendly rivalry has been recog-
nized. At this time, besides State
and National contests, number OF
cities use such means for grading milk
supplies.
Milk and cream contests promote
competition among the dairymen, lead
TO the grading Of milk supplies. and
through publicity encourage the eff
forts of producers as well as educate
the consumers regarding the value OF
good milk and where the best can be
obtained.

Babies! They Bring About Two Shootings

CHICAGO.-Babie They brought
~ tragedy into two families in one
day. One mother failed to show the
proper reverence to the memory OF
her dead child. her husband said. He
shot and killed her and then took his
own life. Another woman yearned for
the babies her husband did not want.
She shot him and he may die.
Albert r. Beardsley, twenty-eight, a
Chicago & Northwestern railway en-
ployee and his eighteen-year-old wife
Mrs. Alice Fowler Beardsley, had been
separated for two months.
"Beardsley told me his wife
promised to take care of the child's
grave" said Guy Everett friend OF
the husband. "He came back from a
visit to the grave fairly raving. He
said 1t was overgrown with weeds and
there were no flowers on it-no care
nothing"
Mrs. Beardsley was returning to the
home of her parents from the Oak
Park telephone exchange, where she
worked as a night operator. Her hus-
band accosted her at Lake street and
9th avenue and shot her as she fed
into saloon to escape him. Then he
shot himself
