BAYARD URGES ALL
TO REGISTER TODAY
Also Tells What He Meant When
He Criticised tho Health
Board Affairs.

From developments OF the past two
years since the Republican admins
tration has been in power In Washing
ton IL appears that the English die
tlonary mus, be revised, Thomas F..
Bayard, Democratic nominee FOR
United States senator. declared last
anight at a mass meeting of voters In
Ne. s School, Seventh and Spruce
streets.
II believe that We'll have to change
the definition Of the words prosperity,
happiness, blossoming and several
others" he continued. They must be
changed, for the Republicans promis-
ed US prosperity. happiness and said
that the land would blossom forth. II
this Is prosperity and happiness then
everything Is wrong"
Mr.. Bayard's humorous remarks IN
terspersed in a more serious subject,
/ that Of registering at the election polls
today. brought forth laughter.
The great necessity of having every
man and woman register was stressed
by Mr.. Bayard who pointed out that
in some legislative districts an election
is often decided by one or two votes.
II remember that not so long ago,
he said. when the balance of power
In both houses at Dover was decided
by but Nifty votes"
Mr.. Bayard then attacked the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff bill recently en-
acted in Washington and which, he
declared. virtually robs the public.
why did the Republicans delay
passage of the tariff until so near
>1x ha
ed the bill so late 90 as TO place II
before the voters as a wonder gift
knowing that the public would not
have time TO look into its real import
before election. They disguised It's pro-
visions and presented II to the public
as beneficial legislation. But we are not
going to fall for II. Are we?"
Referring TO Mayor Harvey's state
ment yesterday which was written as
cr answer to Mr.. Bayard's charges OF
defects in the Board Of Health. Mr.
Bayard answered that the mayor had
not denied his charges OF graft simply
lodging the issue.
The mayor tells the public in his
statement that the board is being run
in an efficient manner and has an ef-
hcient secretary" he added. IL do not
deny that. II Is true. l did not attack
the efficiency of the board 1 asked how
Mayor Harvey came 10 close his eye.

has not answered that"

GOOD BULLS AND HOW TO GET
EN-

(From the Lamoille County Farm
Bureau)
AS you rub elbows with other
farmers at the fairs and watch the
Judge place the blue ribbon on a sire
of great type you frequently hear the
remark: "Those fine bulls are alright
for those that can afford them, but
we small dairymen can't" Some one
may also present the idea that pure
bred bull of quality is the bovine
aristocrat of rich mans barnyard
or only within the possibilities of the
well-to-do farmer to own one. A man
well informed on the practical prob
lens connected with dairy farming
was heard to make the comment that
the pure bred sire was probably one
of the contributing causes of dairy
man being in the well-to-do class.
Through the Cooperative Bull
Association organization farmers
with a few cows are securing the
services of several excellent sires
for a period of six to ten years at a
cost no greater than they had pre-
viously invested in poor sires for an
equal period of time. Here is how it
has worked out:
In Webster county, Missouri, the
of a bull association re-
placed Is scrub sires with six pure
bred sires of good breeding. The
average value of the scrub sires was
$40, or $3.50 per cow, and the pure
bred sires had an average valuation
of S275, or $3.50 per cow.
In Susquehanna county, Pennsyl-
vania, the organization of a bull asso-
citation replaced IS sires of an aver
age valuation of $500 with four bet
ter ones with an average valuation
Of $1,000. The total investment was
decreased from $3.50 to $4,000 and |
The quality of the sires was greatly
In the Dimock Association in the |
same county through the bull asso-
,iation the farmers found it possible
70 replace eight 1927 bulls with four
5000 bulls. There are many other
places where similar experiences
;ould be cited. The first investment
S lasting one under the plan of
effort.
