New Rate on Hay

tween Cheyenne and Denver.

A new freight tariff for hay in car
load lots from all stations on the En-
campment branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad. issued December 6, 1921, and
effective January IL, 1922. makes n
rate of 46 cents to Kansas City, Coun-
ell Bluffs. st. Joseph, and all other
points in Kansas and Nebraska on the
st. Joseph * Grand Island and Union
Pacific railroads. This is the same
rate applying to Missouri River points
from Colorado stations in the vicinity
of Denver, and means n considerable
concession in the way of hay rates to
the people of this valley.
Concerning this new tariff. President
Fred III. Healey of the Stock Growers
State Bank has received the following
letter from Chas. j. Lane, the general
freight agent for the Union Pacific:

ately to give life TO all four of these
projects, but il does mean that through
the efforts of himself and others all
except the first II may be realized
shortly, and that the first one is being
given serious consideration.

consensus of opinion among the gov
errors, assembled from all parts of the
country. that some indirect form of
tax, rather han a direct tax ON prop
erty, should be enacted by the states
to raise money for state purposes. even
as the federal government exacts il TO
raise money for governmental pur-
poses.
a state income tax was advocated
by many of those present as the best
form of this proposed Indirect method.
The advocating was done with the pro-
viso that this form should be attempt
ed in the event some arrangement can
be made with the federal government
whereby the government would fur
nish the various states copies of the in

Dairy Cow Money
Maker on Farm
Why Does Dairy Business Occupy Such
a Favorable Position as Compared
to Osher Branches of Farming.
(From the DeLaval Monthly

(From the DeLaval Monthly
Bankers and business men through
out the entire country are showing
unprecedented interest in the dairy

reason for this, because these men

observe the beneficial effects of dniry-
ing and can readily see that the man
with n few dairy cows has w~eathered
this period of depression much better
than the man who has depended upon
other branches Of agriculture for his
income.
There are many advantages in the
dairy business, but the chief thing
which interests bankers and business
men is the fact that the dairy COW
brings the farmer a steady cash in
come. The dairy COW helps put him
o a self-supporting basis. enables him
to meet his obligations promptly, and
to put his farming business on II
thoroughly safe and sure basis.
Naturally the question arises, "Why
should the dairy business be in such n
other branches of farming?' This
question can best be answered by the
present condition of the butter market.
During the first nine months of 1921
the production and manufacture of
butter increased 10 per cent over the
corresponding period the year before.
On the other hand, government reports
show that at the end of that period
pounds less butter in storage han dur
ing the corresponding period the year
before. This, of course. shows that
the butter business is in a very healthy
condition.
Why should the consumption of but
ter increase, while that Of most other
products has decreased during the
same period of time?
There is but one answer 10 this
the general public is coming to "A
greater appreciation of the use and
value Of dairy products. There is
plenty Of scientific evidence to show
that dairy products are Indispensable
in the diet not only of the growing
child, but of the adult as well. And
not only are dairy products indispen-
sable, but compared with other food
products, they are cheaper.
These facts are being brought home
to the public through many agencies

ties all cooperating to teach the pub

URGE INTEREST IN
 BAPTIST MEETING

Rev. E. P. J. Garrott, moderator, and Rev. w. c. Hamil, clerk, today issued the following statement with reference to the annual meeting of the Greenbrier Baptist Association, which convenes at Mt. Vernon Octo- Der 20.
 To the Constituency of Greenbrier
 Baptist Asociation:
 Thursday at 10 a. m., before the fourth Sunday in October, is our meeting time. This notice is to urge every church to elect messengers promptly and have them on hand Please see that messengers are elect ed who will go and stay and help transact the business and not leave Fit to few. People can leave their homes and business and go camp hunting or fishing or visiting and stay several days, but it is hard to get them to go to meeting to promote the Lords work and stay long enough to attend to the business properly.
 It ought not to be necessary at the last moment to tumble and rush it through just because the messengers can't stay long enough to give it due can't stay long enough to give it due consideration. Furthermore we ought to take time for the fellowship and inspiration such meetings afford in addition to the transaction of bus mess.
 Our missionary has done a great work this year, as usual. Let's all get together and hear his report, re- joice with him, pay our debts, and prepare for another long, strong pull next year. We have gone almost on a cash basis this year and have re- duced the debt considerably. Let's go prepared to wipe it out and hereafter keep a clean slate.
 Mt. Vernon is going to "put the big pot in the little un" and look for us in great numbers. Let's not dis appoint them.

"VAMPS" WHO

THE BEAUTY WHO DEFIED AN
 EMPEROR.

~ ONCEIVE for a moment that you - are standing in Roman road way, toward the end of the Third cen tury. A hedge of humanity lines both sides. In the distance you hear the waverng notes of a horn, and soon a drumbeat sounds, then fanfare of horns. Aurelian is approaching to en- joy the ceremonial triumph extended to successful leaders.
 Who is the woman that walks be- fore him? A woman of remarkable beauty, loaded with golden chains which slaves help to support, and decked with so many jewels that she almost faints from the combined weight, the clamor and humiliation. She is Zenobia, former ruler of Pal myra, who called herself Queen of the East and dared to challenge Rome.
 Zenobia's story is gay and sad. When her husband still lived she reveled in the delights of war and love. It has been said that she made many of his victories possible by her ad- vice, and between them they erected an empire. Then he was assassinated by nephew. She took the field, won the throne and extended her power over broad eXpanse Rome watched with envious eyes and sent armies to con Quer her. But she partly defeated and partly wore out these armies. Then Aurelian was made emperor of Rome and himself came to subdue her. Inch by inch she was driven back to her capital of Palmyra. Aurelian stormed vainly at the gates, and ZenO- bia sent him insolent messages in an- last the city was near capture and Ze- nobia fled across the desert on dromedary. She was seized and car ried before Aurelian, who demanded why she had defied Rome. She an- swered that she had not been able to regard other emperors as such, but you, alone, acknowledge as my con- queror and my sovereign"
 Her blandishments failed to move Aurelian and he carried her away to Rome, to march before his chariot along the Appian Way. a beautiful captive. To complete her indignity, there followed, just behind, an elabo- rate chariot which she had had built with the announced purpose of riding in it when she entered Rome, con- queror. But on the fateful day Zeno- bla was decked in her golden chains, and the clank of each link was deathblow. She died not long after ward of humiliation.

HOW "LIVER-EATIN'" JOHNSON
 GOT HIS NAME

Among the scouts who were with Gen. Nelson A. Miles, when that of ficer inflicted his crushing defeat up on the Sioux chief, Crazy Horse. al the battle of Wolf Mountain, Mont. in 1877 was one bearing the strange name of "Liver- Eatin' Johnson Johnson was a powerful Norwegian weighing more than 300 pounds and standing six feet, three inches in his mOccasin-clad feet. He had a great shock of golden hair of which he was very proud-so much so, that he refused to wear hat, and when he went into battle with this golden mane in the wind, he looked like an ancient Morse viking.
 Johnson had won his name in a gruesome way. Two stories about this are told, differing slightly in detail, but agreeing in the main facts. One tells how a party of Indians had raided a trading post on the Mussel- shell River. but were driven off with heavy loss. It is said that Johnson, in a spirit of devilish bravado, cut out the livers of several of the dead warriors and actually ate them.
 The other story seeks to justify Johnson's act. A Cheyenne chief had raided and burned Johnson's camp while he was away on trapping ex- pedition. When he returned and saw the ruins, he Swore that he wolfd kill the Cheyenne and eat his liver. Later he made good his threat. Either account may be correct, so far as details are concerned At any rate, he was ever afterward known as 'Liver Eatin" Johnson.
 Johnson's inseparable companion was "X" Beidler of Montana vigilante fame Beldler disapproved of John sons lack of headgear and called him a 'yaller-headed Injun," because, as he said, 'every decent white man wears some sort O coverin' for his scalp" But Johnson was firm in his convictions, and in the fight with Crazy Horses Sioux he Justified him seif-to his own satisfaction. at least.
 As Beidler and Johnson charged up the snOw-clad slopes of Wolf noun thin that morning against entrenched Indians. bullet cut furrow through Liver -Eatin's hair, like pair of red hot sheep shears" as he said.
 s"Now you see," he exclaimed to his "pardner." If I'd had hat on, it'd bin plumb ruined!"
 Little is known of Johnson's laler history. He was a scout at Fort Gus ter 1881, when the young chief Sword Bearer tried to stir up the Crows against the whites and secuted for the troops during that brief war, After that he seems to drop out of history.

CYERY woman seeks distinction in E dress, and Is especially pleased
 when she discovers suit that may justly lss' claim to 1t, for suits must possess considerable stability in style. They are worn oftener and longer than other kinds of apparel. and much Is demanded of them. They are required to vary accepted modes by ingenious differences, without go- ing to any extremes; they must be conservative in order to be refined, they must be spirited enough to escape being commonplace, and In most cases youthful flavor Is demanded of them. The task of choosing one that will full fill all these obligations promises to be easier than It has been, for fall suits are shown in greater variety than for some seasons
 The launching of several distinctly different sllhouettes and their accept ance gives one a choice in coats that vary much In outline. In length they range all the way from finger tip to of the skirt. One may choose model with slim. close-fltting body and long waist, having a ruffied skirt set on. Or the choice may fall upon the Russian blouse or the box coat and skirts may match the coats or they may not. Sometimes they are in checks or stripes, while the coat Is plain.

held in $4,000 bail each by Magistrate
Mancuso in Jefferson Market court yes-
terday. They were charged with bur
glary and violating the Sullivan law.
Policeman John Ready was informed
by neighbor of suspicious noises in
the house of DR.. l. w Drummond, at
436 West Twenty-second Street. Ready
found the two youths in the dining
room working at the chest of silver.
Firing warning shot and switching on
the lights, Ready ordered them to sur
render. Both did without a struggle.
The revolver and the stiletto lay on
the chest. The blades of the latter are
telescoped and designed for quick ac-
tion in melee The outer blade,
eight inches long, is held to the hilt by
short segment of screw thread. The
inner blade is three inches shorter. A
twist of the wrist leaves the outer
blade in victim and second one
ready for another thrust.
With no outward sign below of a
forced entry, Ready was admitted to a
house several doors away, passed over
