panied by a number of senators ana
members OF the house The president
was asked to assume a vigorous and
determined leadership" in the work of

FRIDAY, APRIL %. 1921.
AMERICAN TRAVEL TO EUROPE.

1t is announced that an immense
business will be done this year by all
Atlantic passenger ships-except those
sailing under the American flag ON
which prohibition rules all the way
across, for even professed prohibitions
lists are reported as booking on the
free" ships in order to see the fun
The cost of comfortable passage is
very high compared with pre-war
prices, but this as well as the cost of
the trip in general is greatly reduced by
the present extremely low rate of eX-
change in depressed Europe which in
vests the American dollar with an en-
ormous purchasing power. Europe has
long been looking hopefully toward a
resumption of American tourist travel,
which for many years has enabled
hotels, shopkeepers and places of
amusement to gather in a rich harvest,
but the partial resumption last year
was not without its drawbacks from
the point Of view of those not directly
benefited commercially.
Already a cry of protest has come
from Nerdun. for example. This imper-
ishable monument to French valor and
unconquerable devotion is city of
graves. Naturally the French think
visitors ought to go to Nerdun. not as
hurried, pushing, lght-hearted tourists
but as reverent pilgrims. Nerdun calls
for the reverence belonging to a shine,
but it seems that Americans are al
ready making of ii sort Of picnic re-
sort, and patriotic France grieves. There
arc all sorts of American tourists. but
let us hone that the most Of them will
be as reverent in the presence Of
French graves az when standing by the
white crosses over our own boys "over
there" who fell in the common cause.

RATIO THAT EQUAL

COLLEGE PROFESSOR

A new mystery has been disc0y-
cred! The question involved is
how can an aer0plane travelling AT
speed of 10 M. p. h., headed into
wind coming at an equal rate, get
anywhere? And yet, Dr. Siratton
ID. Brooks, president of Oklahoma
University, states that such cir
cumstances existed during a flight
from Oklahoma City to Ardm0re
yesterday. Aeronautical experts of
this city, without any intent to dis
play diSrospect for the opinion of
the professor, explain the mystery
by stating that DR.. Brooks infor-
nation is theoretical imagination.
The plane was really travelling at
80 M. p. H., hut with a iO-mile wind
against il, its speed in relation TO
the gr0nnd was 10 M. p. h.

will add four more cows to our herd
next week."
Mr.. Tom Pullen, an old head at the
game Of dairying, is looking for
higher prices, but at present low
prices seems to be pleased with the
shipments. Mr.. Pullen's statement
is as follows: well, the price is low,
but ! am running my cows on pasture
and the cream checks come in regu-
larly. ! am not putting out any
money except for some mixed feed
and only feeding a small amount of
this. / am milking five cows, one a
"stripper," and my check is around
S25. We are using all the milk and
butter we want at home and feeding
calf and 10 pigs on skinned milk.
The pigs are the finest | ever saw
ard had to be weaned at the age of
eight weeks"
Mr., 7, ]. Taught, who is also an
experienced member Of the dairy fra
ternity, is now milking 16 COWS, and
while the price is not what he would
like, Mr. Taught says; ut is bet
ter than anything I know now, and
brings in weekly returns"
A card from one of the creameries
receiving Upton county cream states
that the bottom in cream prices has
been reached and the demand for but
ter now is much greater than the
supply.
"A campaign will be held during the
week OF. July rs to 30 Meetings will
be held in all the principal communi-
ties in shipping radius Of the rail-
road. A moving picture machine of
the highest type will be used and pic
tnrcs will be used on dairying as it
is carried on in the State Of Tennes-
see, in our neighbor counties and in
The Northern States. Some good
comedies will also be shown. The
place of meetings and dates win be
published later in the Leader
1t is predicted that 100 farmers
will be shipping cream within the
next six months from Upton county,
the returns amounting to thousands Of
dollars every week-an income for
the county into the hands Of the farm
ers, where it is greatly needed. There
is one feature of the dairy business
that stands out III front, and that is,
there is market for all that can be
produced, and any farmer shipping
knows that he can ship 1000 gallons
OF one gallon and the market will
take all he can produce This can not
be said Of many crops we now raise.
