GOOD COWS ARE ECONOMICAL
Animals Provide Cheapest, Best and
Most Wholesome Feed-No Way
of Doing Without Them.

The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from the
fact that they provide the cheapest,
best and most wholesome food for the
family. Their value is hard to esti-
mate when we consider the amount
saved on the bills. Their produce is
a superior substitute for many foods
necessarily purchased at high prices.
In fact, there is no economic way Of
doing without plenty of good milk
cows on the farm

all small herds, scattered lots, and in
dividual cows. The city also fur
nished necessary conveyances, and
employed a man who devoted his time
to notifying owners when to bring
sheir cattle in for test, assigning them
stalls as they came in, and keeping
the cattle moving out promptly after
tests were completed.
Two hundred and sixteen herds,
composed of 2,107 individuals, were
tested, and $40 reactors-179 per cent
of the total-were found Those re-
acting to the test were promptly
shipped out and slaughtered under
federal inspection.
Among the larger cities whose milk
is obtained entirely or chiefly from
tuberculin-tested cattle that have
passed federal and state tests are
Birmingham, Ala, and Washington,
D. g. In addition, numerous others
have ordinances requiring the tuber-
culin test applied under local SUPER
vision.

Dollars and Cents

Counting it only in dollars-and
cents how, much did that last
cold cost you? A man may not
always stop work when he has q
cold, but perhaps it would be bet
ter if he did. It takes about ten
days to get completely rid Of a
cold under the usual treatment.
That time can be much shortened
by taking Chamberlains Cough
Remedy and proper care of your
self, in fact, a bottle Of this rem
edy in the house is a mighty
good investment during the win
ter and spring months. (adv.)

WHO is THE REAL AMERICAN?

We all remember the bible
story Of the Good Samaritan
who picked up a member of
the Jewish race on a lonely Jeri-
cho road after he had been beat
en- by robbers and took care Of
him. The Levite and Priest
had passed by on the other
side" giving only a glance at
their fellow countryman who
was ia dire distress.

people had been very badly
treated by the, Jews, was The one
who rendered aid to the man
that had fallen among thieves. /"

STRONG SPOTS IN
THE LOCAL MARKET
Moderate Demand Disclosed
Scant Supply in the More
Prominent Stocks

The local market developed quite a
number of strong spots with substantial
price improvement. These bright spots
were we'll distributed through the list
indicating modest widening Of in
terest, but the more significant feature
was to be found in the rather scant
supply of stocks disclosed on the rising
tide.
1t would have been difficult to trace
the real motive, as there was really
little in the way Of news or develop
ments to account for the change. In
scattering parts of the list evidence was
given suggesting an oversold condition.
This was especially noticeable in Elec-
trio Storage Battery, with that stock
making q quick, snappy rise to 1O5ta,
or over 13 points above the low estab-
lished a fortnight ago.
Noteworthy tirmness at the same time
was displayed by Pennsylvania Rail
road and Z. G.. I. The first named
moved UP to 34&, while the latter
touched So. Despite the dilatory tao
tics of City Council, there Is a conf
dent belief on the street the company
will be granted the relief measures
sought

put away in camphor for the summer;

SHARP REBOUND
after EARLY DIP
Market Gave Every Evidence Of
Better Support, Which
Scared the Shorts

Now York, July 6.--rodsy's stock
market gave evidence Of little. better
support The grade could not be guar
anteed. The most part Of the buying
power smanated from the professional
contingent who had seen fit In the pre-
codlng session to violate the established
tradition OF selling In a dull market.
Nevertheless, there was complete trans
formation in the complexion Of the
market and likewise spirited rebound
all along the line, with the recoveries
especially animated in speculative spe-
cialties, such as the Mexican oils, steels
hard pressed.
While technical rather than outside
conditions were responsible for the sud-
den aboutface turn, the market never
theless showed every indication OF
breaking away from the influence OF
Mexican affairs. In all events fair
degree of resistance was exhibited in
the initial trading which was more
noticeable because Of the fresh sinking
spell In Mexican Petroleum and allied
shares, carrying Mexican Petroleum to
a new low at S7A.
II was undoubtedly the detection of
this growing underlying resistance which
influenced a sudden shifting of position
on the part of reactionists and in their
subsequent eaegrness to cover up short
commitments virtually placed them
selves in a position Of bidding up tho
market against themselves. At the
same time there was indications that
not only the supporters Of Mexican
Petroleum, but also In number OF
pool issues as we'll, found it necessary
to put their shoulders under the market.
As long as shorts were kept on the
run the upbidding program was an easy
task. Mexican Petroleum was carried
up to 04, an actual net gain Of 2H
points. Pan American Petroleum is
sues, which also registered low records
in the early dealings, also made brisk
recoverics with General Asphalt, com
mon and preferred, Atlantic Gulf and

the second hour. The forward swin'
was well sustained until the NOR,

ness witnessed yesterday.

BANK STOCK CERTIFICATE
100 YEARS OLD IS FOUND

Fortune to Seattle Man

New York, July 6.-(By A. PA
scrap OF paper that for five generations
has reposed between the covers OF a
faded copy Of Sponsors Faery Queene
may mean wealth and luxury to Alfred
Watkins Seymour, keeper OF a small
restaurant In Seattle, Wash.
The paper is a certificate of sixty
seven shares of stock in the Mechanics
Bank, left by Thomas Williams, who
died in New York in 1922. It's actual
value, together with accrued interest,
was declared to amount to half a mil :
lion dollars.
The certificate had dropped out of
sight, but was discovered by a genealo-
gist,, who was going through a library
IN the household Of a family in Troy,
n. y, where Seymour had had a sis
ter and an aunt. Seymour has estab.
lished, it was asserted, that Williams
was his great grandfather and that he
now is the sole heir to his property.
His claim has been substantiated in
several courts, but a legal battle is
still In progress.
The bank, now known by virtue Of
various mergers as the Mechanics and
Metals National Bank, maintains that
1t has no record Of the issue OF stool,
aud pleaded the statute of limitations.
Supreme Court Justice Wagner recently
ruled against this plea, but attorneys
for the bank declared they would carry
the case to higher courts.
