Our Dairy Poem
DREAMING.

My thoughts tonight are turning
To a CHEEKY fire that's burning,
In a coy little cottage.
That is nestled 'mong the trees.
And there comes a tender feeling.
Ger me slowly, surely stealing
To my lonely soul revealing,
All the Joys left to please.
Though my life here's but endurance,
Yet have the sweet assurance,
That In events occurrence,
There's a time when I'll go home;
And that someday I'll be dreaming
With the rudy fire light streaming
Like the light from Heavens dome.
Der me. softly, warmly, seeming
| can see my dear old mother,
My two sisters and my brother,
And. yes, there is another
In the circle OF that light
He whose face is somewhat wrinkled,
And whose hair with gray is sprinkled,
He whose eyes with Joy have twinkled
It's soldiers dream at night.

HERMAN GOES BACK

ANNULLMENT.
Troubles Of Law Instructor Ended
When He Deserts "Mail Order"
Bride and Returns TO His
First True Love.

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 27.-Profes-
sor John P. Herman Tilted his mail
order bride" today and went back to
his first and legal wife, Mrs. Augusta
Herman.
Tiernan's second wife, Mrs. Blanche
Brimmer, of Aairedale, Ia, whose mar
rage to the professor was declared il
legal nine hours after they were we'd
ded in Crown Point Saturday, returned
to her home in Iowa, admittedly dis
illusioned.
The professor, who wooed and won
his second wife by correspondence and
married her two days after divorcing
his first wife, forsook the widow for
his first love when he learned she had
been the central figure of at least two
former marriages and divorce entan-
clements.
THAT woman deceived me-" Tiernan
said. she told me Brimmer was dead
and I understand he still lives"
Herman returned to South Bend I'M
aware and uncaring, he said, what has
become OF his second wife.
Mrs. Augusta Herman, self-accused
mother OF the child OF Harry Poulin,
handsome haberdasher, met her prod
igal husband with a torrent of abuse
and invective that lasted for full half
hour. She had claimed that Herman
had promised to remarry her follow
ing the divorce.
Gradually, however. Mrs. Tiernan
Gained down and Herman made 1t
clear to her that he was repentant and
desired to resume with her the happy
home life that had been wrecked by
the alleged entry OF Harry Poulin. The
next the reporters knew a full recon-
ciliation had been effected, and the
T1ernans announced over the tele-
phone that they we're happier than
they had been for years" and that a
complete reconciliation had been eff
tected.

CATTLE FEEDER SAVED
Sl35 In FR WMINUTES,

Lexington, KY. - One example OF
the hundreds of good things coming
to Kentucky beef cattle feeders
through their cooperation with the ex-
tension division Of the College of Ag-
riculture was found in the recent visit
Of County Agent c. L. Hill and Wal
land Rhoads, beef cattle specialist OF
the college, to cattle feeders in the
Eastern part of Nelson county. 1t was
estimated that one OF the feeders was
saved more than $135 n only few
minutes by means Of a change in feed
ing methods recommended by County
Agent Hill and Mr.. Rhoads.
The farmer in the case had % good
grade steers and was planning to feed
each one fthem as high as seven
pounds Of cottonseed meal a day dur
ing the latter half of a 130-day feeding
period. Results OF feeding trials put
on by farmers in other parts Of the
state were explained tod him in order
to show him no whe could cut this
amount in half. This meant a saving
Of about three tone Of cottonseed meal
which would cost about s135 at pres
ent prices. The rate for feeding corn
and silage that he had decided upon
was alright. He will feed an avrage Of
eight pounds OF corn day to each OF
the steers during the last 20 days o.
the feeding period together with al
the silage that the steers will eat.
Incidents similar to this one are
said TO occur frequently in the state
for there are still many farmers who
feed more cottonseed meal than +
necessary to finish steers for the mar
ket. On farms where silage is tho bash
OF the ration being fed TO fattenin
steers and cottonseed meal and corn
arc being used as supplementary feeds,
an average OF about three and one
half pounds OF cottonseed meal a dar
for each 1000 pounds OF live weight
about all that steers can use profit
ably. II clover hay is fed with the
silage, two pounds Of cottonseed mea'
n day 10 enough. This rule applies IN
cases where corn is fed during the las
hnlf Of long feeding periods that run
from 100 20 $50 days or where the corn
is fed throughout short feeding periods
u from 10 10 100 days.

The Backbone of
The Old Reliable

Of all the excellent thru-passenger
trains operated by this Railroad between
Cincinnati and Memphis, and Cincinnati
and New Orleans, L. & N. No. 1 has been
called ''The Backbone of the Old Reliable"
Leaving Cincinnati at 6:15 P. M, Louis
vile at 1910 P. NJ, ARRIVING at Memphis
8:45 A. N.Y. leaving Nashville $50 A. M,
Birmingham GIT A. M, Montgomery 1905
Noon, Mobile $40 P. NJ, and arriving at
New Orleans at 9:45 P. NJ, this train makes
the run from Cincinnati to New Orleans
in 81 hours, 80 minutes.
Day in and day out, this train probably
carries more people-sleeper, chair-car
and day-coach passengers; than any other
south-bound train operating south of
Cincinnati and Chicago, and does one of
the heaviest passenger businesses of any
carrier in all America.

We don't know just why but about
the hardest debt most people have to
pay is taxes. It is quite co-incident
that this year Thanksgiving day is the
last day to pay county taxes. Those
who have taxes to pay should be
thankful that they own property upon
which to pay taxes.
It has developed that in Eastern cit
les certain wealthy persons sentenced
to Jail for traffic law relations, have
hired substitutes to serve their Jail
sentence for them. There might have
been a day when 1t was looked upon
as right to hire substitutes for army
service. but we can't believe that any
court will countenance the hiring Of
substitutes to take punishment for law
violations.
Arthur Brisbane, the great thinker
and writer. is about right when he
says that one strong man can much
more successfully manage business
than can any Board of Managers. He
clinches his thought by forcefully say
ing that one man might drive four
horses but that there are no four men
who can drive one horse.
