If these judges ever sit, they will con tinue to sit in the opinion of many members of Congress.
 Senator Warren, chairman of the ap- propriations committee of the Senate, declared more than a year ago that the effective enforcement of prohibl- ton will cost $5O,o00,00 per annum. Little by little, the prophecy of the Senator is being fulfilled, and prohi- bition appropriations, by gradual steps, approach the figure he designated.

purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet it.
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field Of
famine and desolation. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens of thousands of women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept

to save for better future.

Above all towers the mute appeal Of
the more than 100000 little children,

whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and

Can we really enjoy our wealth and

AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CALVES
Figures Secured From Dairy Herds Of
University of IlIinois-Factors
That Influence.

A very well-bred Holstein bull calf
weighing 112 pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul-
tural college farm at Manhattan Most
of the dairy infants, however, weigh
considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight.
In the dairy herds of the University
of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been as follows: HoIStein male,
90 lbs. female, So lbs. Ayrshire male.
TT; female. ia; Guernsey male, 20;
female, 6S.S; Jersey male, 62.4; fe-
male, 597 lbs.
1t is good practice to note and
record the approximate weights of
calves at birth, because this Informal
ton is valuable in apportioning milk
to the young animals. The 112-pound
Kansas giant, for instance, could
handle a feeding of milk that would
put Jersey calf Of average weight
In line for castor oil.
Besides breed and sire, heredity and
the age, size and physical condition
Of the dam influence birth weights.
