THE DAIRY BUSINESS

Speaking of this important and
growing industry. the DeLaval Mag
Qzinc says:
Bankers and business men through
out the country are showing unprc-
cedcnt interest In the dairy COW. 1t Is
not difficult to find the reason for this.
because these men have been In a very
good position to observe the beneficial
effect of dairying and can readily see
that the man with few dairy cows
hns weathered this period Of depres-
zion much better than the man who
has depended upon other branches of
agriculture for his income.
There are many advantages In the
dairy business. hut the chief thing
which interests bankers and business
mon is the fact that the dairy cow
brings the farmer stendy cash In.
come. The dairy COW helps put him
tlr n self-supporting basis. enables
him to meet his obligations prompt
ly. and to put his farming business
on Il thoroughly safe and sure basis.
shomld the dairy business bc in such
n favorable position as compared with
other branches of farmlng?' This Iuca-
tion can best bc answered by the pre-
sent condition of butter market. Dur
Ing the first nine months OF 1921 the
rrc'l,n ion and manufacture of butter

cutter business is In very healthy
condition.
Why >nould the consumption OF hut
tor inc l"asc. while that of mc.t .:i,Cr
products has lie 'ca'ed dr lug the
same period of {, III
There is but one answer to this
the gen, raj publl:. Is coming - II great
or appreciation of the use and value
of dairy products. There is plenty of
scientific evidence to show that dairy
products are Indispensable In the diet
not only Of the growing child but OF the
nluli MS well. And not only are dairy
products Indispensable, hut compared
with other food products, they are
cheaper.
These facts are being brought home
to the public through many agencies
government. state and local nuthori-
tics all cooperating to teach the public
these truths.
However aside from the fact that
the use of dairy products must inevi-
tably increase. the favorable position
of dniryinC in this country is simply
annihor manifestation Of history ie-
pcnting itself. In every country where
the value of land has increased to n
high point. 1t has been found TINT
lairying can be conducted proftably.
while some other form of agriculture
cannot. And this Is due to the fact TINT
the dairy COW is n much more economi-
cal producer of foods than other AMI
mails.
As food producing machine the
good dairy cow is without an equal,
and this explains the fact that in the

London, Oct. 18.-The British DO
itical fever has reached its height,
and there is every indication that the
maximum temperature will be main
tanned for some days. Everybody is
guessing as to when the crisis will
pass and what turn it will take, but
the answer is as yet unrevealed and
the future remains obscure pending
tomorrow's unionist meeting at the
Carlton Club which is expected to
give the key to the problem.
One anti-coalition newspaper, the
Daily Mail, today attributes to Prime
Minister Lloyd George the definite
statement that he will resign Office
in the unionist meeting declares
against Austen Chamberlain, whose
outspokcn adhesion to the prime min
lister has aroused strong opposition
in the party ranks.
Among the other reports publish
ed by the morning papers is one to
the effect that the ministers started
new efforts yesterday to insure post
ponemcnt of the general elections
until January, prompted, it is said,
by fear of complete split in the
conservative party. Such contin-
gency seems almost inevitable to the
disinterested observer, and one of
the surest prospects of the present
ferment seems to be a new align
ment Of parties which will obliterate
some of Britain's political land
marks.

Rodosto, Thrace, Oct 18.-This
town has become a jumping off place
in the Greek evacuation of eastern
Thrace. Twenty-eight thousand
panic stricken refugees are gather
ed here, all dominated by fear of the
Turk.
The general belief is that the
Kemalists will arrive simultaneously
with the British troops of occupa-
9tion, and every refugee hopes to put
a long stretch of water between him
self and Rodosto before that event.
The whole town and all it's extra
population have abandoned any pre-
tense of performing normal dutic7
and have gathered along the grave
beaches waiting nervously for thu
ships which do not come.
A body of peasants with about L.

on rumor that trains would await
them there, but yesterday the long
procession bedragged by the rain,

+ Mrs. McNally said. she passed the
||shint' on to neighbors and as the
time approached to announce the
birth went so far as to engage a
nurse and she purchased two skill.
fully constructed dolls.
She said she kept the "twins"
carefully hidden from the curious
eyes of ncighbors until last April,
when she and her husband circu-
lated the report that they had sent
the children tS Chicago. ....
All of his wife's story, McNally
said, is the desperate defense Of u
woman who has done away with her
children. He said he had seen her
fondle them and nurse them.
One of the witnesses summoned
was Mrs. James Griffiths, a nurse
and a former neighbor. McNally said
Mrs. Griffiths would testify that the
twins were flesh and blood. Mrs.
McNally declared that Mrs. Grif-
fiths would have to admit that the
two forms she saw in the bed with
McNally's wife were only dolls.

Nally twins. She was also called to
testify.

INQUIRY into
L0SSBY FIRE
ARMY DRIClBLE

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 1s.-A
board of inquiry consisting of
Lieut.. Col. A. G. Fisher, Captain
G. W. McEntire and Lieut.. Donald
Hutchins of Brooks field, will
begin an inquiry this morning tQ
determine cases of the explosion
which destroyed the army dirigible
C-2 yesterday morning just as it
was starting with eleven passeng-
ers on an exhibition flight over the
city. Eight of the eleven who were
injured by jumping from Is to 20
feet from the dirigible just before
its hydrogen gas and gasoline
vapors ignited, but none were seri-
ously hurt.
The 1872 foot dirigible which had
successfully completed cross
country flight from Langley Field,
Va, to San Francisco, and was on
its homeward voyage is a complete
wreck with no salvage possible.
Major H. A. Strauss, commander
of the C2 is expected to testify be-
fore the inquiry board his belief
that the accident was caused by
fabric pulling out of the envelope
as the big dirigible started from
the Brooks field hangar. This, in
the opinion of some officers, i'm
plies the fabric used in construct
ing the dirigible was not up to
standard.
Major Strauss estimate of the
value of the C-2 was $4,000. 1t
originally cost the government $780,
600 10.

Arson and Grave
Robbery Suspect
.> Being Sought

St. Louis, M..; Oct. 1s.-Sheriff
Willman of St. Louis county and
auth orities Of Jefferson county to-
day were beating the brush near
Rock Creek, No., following what
they termed was evidence that
Harry R. Brenn, charged with arson
and grave robbery who has been
missing since September rs, was
hiding there. .-.
Brenn disappeared after his
garage at Oakville, No., was des-
troyed by fire. A charred body
was found in the debris of the blaze
and at first the body was supposed to
be that Of Brenn, but later it was
established as that Of Miss Ccle-
stine Schneider, which had been
stolen from it's grave in Mount
Hope cemetery.
Police officers reported finding
two farmers at Rock Greek, who
identified photograph of Brenn as
similar to that Of man who had
stolen some money from one Of the
farmer homes and disappeared into
the woods.
Police have expressed the opinion
that Brenn set fire to his garage
and placed the corpse in it in order
to make it appear that he had
perished. He carried life insurance
policies totalling $4,000.

ASSERTS HE
WAS ROBBED
OF. 100000
Police Hold Salesman in Chi
cago While Investigating
Robbery

Chicago, Oct. 18.-Max Moser, New
York jewclry salesman, who told the
police last night, that he had beer
robbed of 100000 worth Of unset
diamonds, was questioned again to-
day at the detective bureau, where
he was held until morning while po-
lice investigated his story.
Moser said he was leaving a hotel
on Michigan Boulevard with Charles
J. Morris, representative of the New
York Life Insurance company, when
three bandits jumped on the run
ming board of Morris automobile,
made Morris give up the wheel,
which was taken by one Of the rob-
bcrs, whose own car, waiting across
the street, and driven by fourth
bandit, followed.
Outside the downtown district, the
bandits stopped, Moser said, and
took the pouch containing the dia-
monds, declaring they had followed
him from St. Louis to obtain the
stones. The robbers then cut the
ignition wires on Morris car, locked
it, took the keys and drove away in
the other car, according to Moer.
Moscr said he had about rs unset
diamonds, ranging in size from one
to six karats.
The total loss in robberies of dia-
mond brokers and statesmen in Chi
cago during the last two years
amounts to more than $2,00O,00O, ac-
cording to police reports. More than
$1,OOO,COO of the losses are yet un-
paid by the insurance companies,
whose operatives are still investi-
eating, it was said.
