JAIL PLEA FUTILE
 AS ABSENCE EXCUSE
Jersey School Board Member Who Missed Meetings While Locked
 Up Loses His Job.

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 4.-Conlne- ment in jail is not a "good cause" for member of a school board to absent himself from meetings of the board, Assistant State Education Commissioner Strahan ruled in dis missing the appeal of Edward Pulls, member of the board of education in Jefferson Township, Morris County, for reinstatement after his dismissal because of failure to attend three consecutive meetings.
 Pulls contended that the meetings he missed in January and February were not regular, but special meet lnss, and that the fact he was in jail was good cause" for his absence,
 Tt is well-known legal maxim" |" Strahan said, that no man may take advantage of his own wrong and that no man may set up his own tniquity as a defense. It is the opinion of the commissioner of education that to allow a confinement in jail to be considered Il good cause for absence from q board of education meeting would be to allow U man to take ad- vantage of his wrong clearly within the meaning of the maxim referred to-"
 It was decided, therefore, that the meetings in question were regular meetings and that Pulls dismissal was proper under the School law which provides that member of a board of education who fails to at- tend three consecutive regular meet ings of the board without good cause may be removed,
 The nature of the offense for which Pulls served two months in the Morris County jail was not made known,

SEES PROSPERITY AHEAD
Head of Armour Grain Company Prophecies Better Times Coming to American Farmer.

Chicago, Aug. 4.--An upward move.
 ment in grain prices is in prospect says President George E. Marcy of the Armour Grain company, in a signed statement. "The situation" he declares, promises to be of such f. nancial benefit to the American farm CT that he will be in a position to materially and substantially improve general business conditions.
 "An orderly and gradual market ing of existing wheat stocks will end the present depressed price conditions and there are tremendous economic factors at work to force slower and more stable marketing. settlement of the coal strike will leave fewer cars for movement of grain. and the expected improvement in general bus mess conditions should further affect the amount of equipment available.
 Apparently Europe will need around 100,oc0,0oo bushels more wheat than last year and leading United States bankers seem to be a unit in faToring help which will put Europe on it's industrial feet and al- low the nations to buy such food as they need. This will probably result in continued big demand for Am erican products.
 "The farmer is now in a position to hold his grain for reasonable prices. With the farmer wisely holding back his grain and economic conditions working toward the same result, the end of the present low prices for farm products seems in sight. and as prices for grains go up better business con- ditions throughout the whole country will follow"

FORBES RAPS COST
 OF HOSPITAL NO. Al
Says AllingtoWn Institution Is Too -sEx-Servicemen Can-
 not Become Strikebreakers.

Hartford, Aug. 1.-The overhead expense of United States Public Health Service hospital Al in Alling- town is excessively high, Col Charles R. Forbes. head of the United States Veterans Bureau, said in Hartford last night when he stopped off there to inspect the sub-district headquar- ters while on his way to Boston.
 He said also he understood that the hospital had been offered for sale. at a price of s1.700.000. The yearly rental of the institution is now sS5.- oO0, he said. The hospital has only 150 beds while a hospital with 500 beds could be bought for the sum asked for the Allingtown institution, he said.
 Col. Forbes said that ex-service men will not be allowed under any conditions to act in a strike breaking capacity or to enter the service of railroad until the strike has been completely settled. He said later the railroads will undoubtedly give em- ployment to many disabled ex-service men, Col. Forbes has 10000 ex-serv- ice employees under his supervision.

 TROUBLES MICHIGAN
Refuses to Stay Dead and Wet and
 Dry Question Now Is Issue

Detroit. Aug. ' (By the Associated Press)--The wet and dry question ii expected to play leading part in tn, political dramas that will be enacted in Michigan this year.
 Decision of the Michigan division of the National Association Opposed to Prohibition not to submit to the voters next fall proposed amend. n1ent permitting the sale of beer and light wines within the state iE the event of the Volstead acts modified ton, leaves this organization free tc press its fight in the various senator. ial. congressional and legislative campaigns, 1t was indicated.
 Active Campaign.
 In announcing submission of a light wine and beer amendmen mt k would be postponed, at least until the N<tate election In the spring of 1923, Rsbert Wardell of Detroit. secretary of the ti-prohibition organization, declared his group would concern it. self In every division Of the campaign in Michigan this year, both in the primaries and general election.
 This announcement closely follow ed one bG the state division of the Anti-Saloon league. that said the drys were busy checking the record of ev- cry candidate for public office and would make fat-footed declaration concerning the leagues stand on each candidate some time before the days set for balloting. The league already has undertaken its investigation of each candidate, 1t is announced. and declarations are expected within a short time. .4..4 . Parochial School Issue Again.
 Thefwet forces announced their de- cision to withhold submission of a beer and wine amendment was made because at the time there was pos sibility that the so-called anti-paro- chial school amendment might be submitted again this year. This lat ter proposed amendment would re- quire an affirmative vote for passage, while the wet amendment would re- quire the same sort of an expression. The fear was expressed by the vets, MT. Wardell said. that those opposed to the school amendment might vote mo" on all questions to make sure they had registered opposition to the one.
 Whether any of the candidates for public office will seek nomination and election on wet platform remains to be seen. It was rumored in state political circles for time that such would be the case but to date no can didate has come out openly on the wet and dry proposition. The amend ment proponents are authoritatively reported to have selected number of candidates but so far none of the names mentioned has been added to the list of office aspirants.
 Petitions Recalled.
 The association opposed to prohibi- ton some time ago began circulation of initiatory petitions to put the before the voters. These petitions have been recalled. but MT. wardell says they again will be put In circuation next winter in the ef- fort to bring the question before the voters in the spring.
 Mr. Wardell announced his organi- ration would make a concerted effort to send several wet advocates to con- gress from Michigan. At the same time this faction will attempt to drive

The idea of having to milk a mum
Der of cows twice da! for three hun
dred and sixty-five Gays in the year
does not appeal to some; yet to the
man who likes his COWS the work Is
/ not monotonous. There is pleasure in
working to increase their milk flew
and discovering now and then that
you own COW much above the aver
age, or one that might prove pbenom-
enal. Then too, the Jersey COW is one
of the best paying propositions in the
Ozarks and the returns she brings in
each day look good at the end Of
year.
The idea | have worked to in my
twenty-five years of Jersey breeding
is to get cows of nice type that give a
good flow of rich milk. are easy to
milk and gentle. The work has prov
cd mighty interesting.
Prior to doing Register Of Merit
work / kept scales in the barn and
weighed the milk during the time the
COW was milking heaviest, after that
weighed it every few milkings and
kept a record of the weights. | tested
the milk for per cent of fat several
times a year, and in this way had a
fair estimate of what my cows were
doing.
The Jersey COW adapts herself
splendidly to the Ozarks and with
good ordinary care will make profit
for her owner. The farmer with sew
eral cows will have few head to sell
each year. To get the best results the
breeder must study his cows. Some
cows are more nervous than others
and require careful handling. 1t. is
never best to change mixers oftener
than can be helped. The COW will do
better to have variety of feed.
| have found the care of the calves

esting to note how calves in the same
pasture will seem to grow attached to
one another. | had two young heifers

of the same age, that were always to-
gether. Now as cows they object if
they are separated. There are as
good Jersey herds in the Ozarks as
