Memories of Old DAYS
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

Following the nocturnal visit of a
merry band of youthful Michael An
gelos, armed with buckets of red paint
and varnish to the new Richmond high
school building, the interior of that
edifice was a sight to make any artist
shudder and the entire school was ask
ing the question, who is guilty." A
popular campaign to find the members
of party that entered the building in
an unknown manner to paint the walls
had been instituted by the students
and Principal Neff believed that the
culprits would be found and punished
within short time.
The intruders had painted a line
of arrows leading from the main en-
trance of the building to the room of
A. l.. Murray and on this instructors
door was painted all kinds of figures.
The statue on the third floor was paint
ed to such an extent that it had to be
removed to be entirely cleaned.
Principal Neff was indignant and ex-
pressed his intention of turning the
matter over to the police.

Dr.. Craft was born in Fryeburg,
Me, Jan. u, 1850. After his educa-
tional course he became a Methodist
minister in 1867 at the tender age of
II. For II years he labored to re-
form the Methodists from within. and
then gave up the job and went to the
ngregatiOralists. II took only three
years to convince him that there
wasn't enough damnation in the doc
trine for a real reformeT, and he NOV
ed to the Presbyterian. His range of
pulpit activity ran from Stoneham,
Mass, all the way to Chicago and back
to Brooklyn. Finally, he gave up pull
pit work for militant reform, and is
now the head of the international re-
form bureau. He new lives in Wash

without reserve, but every time she
seemed to be on the verge of going

Give the Cow a Chance


Sometimes a man buys COW and is
disappointed in the returns he gets
from her. Sometimes this is the cows
fault and often it is not. If the owner
of the COW does not understand that
she must have a certain amount of
feed to maintain her or does not
realize that 1t is only the feed she
gets above this maintenance require
ment which can return a profit, he
is very likely to under-feed her.
A COW weighing 1000 pounds re-
quires around 16 pounds Of alfalfa
hay, not including water which she
doesn't eat. for maintenance alone.
II this is all she gets and she gives
any milk at all she must make It from
her own body tissues and so will lose

to lose weight through her lactation
period is not getting sufficient feed
and is not getting a chance to do her
best. II she Is. an ordinary COW an
