COUNTY QUOTA LAGS

With the 1920-21 drive of the Near
East Relief campaign in West Virgin
ia nearing the close, the period end
ing June 80, Barbour county is one
of the few counties which have not as
completed its quota.
Barbour county, allotted quota of
$1,000 has up to the present time con-
tributed only $276 to this most wor-
thy cause.
Barbour county, declares DR.. w.
E.. Smith. state director, was counted
upon as one of the counties certain
to attain it's quota and the showing
made thus far has proved decided
disappointment to the workers throug
out the state.
However, state officials Of the Near
East Relief drive believe that Barbour
county will wake up to a full reali-
cation Of the duty confronting it and
go over its allotted quota before June
80.
The great bulk Of the state quota
thus far has been carried largely by
the public and Sunday Schools Of the
state Splendid organizations were
perfected in this connection and the
work accomplished in the schools has
been especially good. The Sunday
Schools Of West Jirginia have also
contributed generously to the cause
Of suffering humanity.
Since the school term will end now
within few days the West Virginia
campaign for Near East Relief must
of necessity rely upon the counties
attaining their full quotas.
DR.. Smith is urging Mr.. D. J. Taft,
of Philippi, the county chairman, to
rally his forces for final intensive
campaign from now until June 80.
West Virginia must go over, de-
cfares DR.. Smith. "The standing of
the state has been entirely to high to
have it slump now. Those who have
made pledges for contributions must
realize that humans and women,
and large number of innocent child
rem are starving to death in the Near
East. Aid must be given them or al
most the entire nation will be lost
The only hope of these people is the
American people.
Between now and June 30 Barbour
county must give 1924 to the Near
East--more if it can be raised The
county also has Fl coupon books out
standing. The acceptance of these
books by the holders will mean that
go lives will be saved.
West Virginia's quota for the year
is S150,000. To date $4,000 has been
contributed. With $4,000 to be rails
ed in little more than 80 days it is
necessary that Barbour county contri-
butte her full share.

OLD JACKET TEARS,
SAVES FARMERS LIFE
Henry Hadler Thrown Into Machin
cry While Starting Tractor on
Farm Near Cyrus.

The fact that he wore an old work
jacket was the only thing that saved
Henry Hadler's life last Saturday,
when his clothing caught in the
wheels of a tractor he was starting
on his farm near Cyrus and he was
thrown into the machinery. Forum
ately the cloth broke and he was
thrown away from the machinery
against the wall of the shed, but not
before he was quite badly hurt.
His injuries include badly bruised
face, several loosened teeth, broken
rib on the left side and an injured
shoulder blade.
Hadler said that the tractor was
hard to start and that he had been
forced to unbutton his jacket to cool
off. 1t was when he reached to the
top of the engine to reach his oil can
that the accident occurred. Had his
jacket been new and torn less easily
he would undoubtedly have lost his
life. Two young men working on his
farm saw him fall against the wall
and ran to his assistance. A doctor
was hastily summoned from Morris.

The Result OF Pure Bred Sire.

The Result OF Pure Bred Sire.
The result of a pure bred sire is
shown by the calf whose picture ap-
pears in this paper The Crocus Val
ley Farm, owned by E. J. Jones,
started about eight years ago with
twenty-five head of grade Holsteins
which Mr.. Jones describes as being
"of all shapes and colors." The first
pure bred sire was purchased from
Mr.. Hackney, owner of the farm now
known throughout the Holstein
world as the Arden Farms. This bull
weighed 200 pounds when sold. The
second bull is the one still in use in
this county at the school of agricul-
ture, a bull which probably has to
his credit a group of daughters which
are producing more milk and butter
than the daughters of any other bull
that has ever come into Stevens coun-
Morris tribune., 1921-12-09

ty. This bull was followed by the
bull now in use at the Crocus Valley
Farm. His dam has a record of rs
pounds of butter in seven days. This
bull will in the next few months be
followed by another which will prob
ably be superior to any of the bulls
owned by the Crocus Valley Farm up
to this time. AS result of this chain
Of good pure bred bulls mated with a
very inferior group of scrub grades,
we have this calf coming out of one
of the best grade herds in the state
ard winning first place from group
of the best grade Holstein calves of
the different counties of Minnesota.
This farm has grade COWS which gave
up to IA pounds of milk per day
They are a group of large, straight
COWS showing uniformly good dairy
type.
