THE DAIRY COW

People who reyel IN large
figures should do reverence to
the dairy COW. Her production
of milk i'm the last calendar year
was 98,862,276,OOO pounds. To
those who look at the purchas-
ing power of an industry, the
figures are equally interesting
because the direct value of pro-
duction was $2,41O,OOO, 600: in
directly, it was worth many mil
lions more. Neither wheat,
corn nor cotton equal in value
the product of the dairy cow.
Large as this total is, it was
even more impressive in the two
preceding years. In 1919 it was
$2,97O,OOO,OOO and in 1920, 49,
025, 100000. But these earlier
figures were due to higher prices
the actual production being less
than last year, which was a re-
cord output.
Tests made at various agri-
cultural colleges prove that the
dairy COW has no equal as a food
producer. The food value of a
years production from we'll
bred cow is equal to that OBJ
tanned from five beef steers, that
weigh 1000 pounds each on the
hoof.
Keep good cow-you can't
go wrong.

WHY NOT TRY
TO CATCH EN-?

A member of the local police force
told the Reporter the other evening
I that certain car which was just then
passing had been driven the previous
evening off the bridge and up Vine
street at rate of 35 miles per hour.
He was certain of the speed, and was
equally certain that if at any time
after that car had passed the Post
Office, another car had come into the
intersection of Vine and eao1id
streets it would have been nmpossi-
/ Bile to avoid a serious or fatal acct
dent.
Another citizen joined in and told
of seeing cars speeding past the Howe
School on Eighth street and taking
desperate chances. Other paved
streets in the city are daily scenes of
unlawful and dangerous automobile
driving. Can't they be caught and
warned, we asked. How in HI
are you going to catch 'em ?" was the
reply.
Some cities catch 'em with motor
cycle officer who earns his salary and
expenses and some besides by bring
ing offenders into court where they
donate the legal amount of fines and
costs to the city administration.
Of course the first thing that is sure
to be said about motorcycle officer
is that he is likely to show partially
allowing influential local citizens to
get by, and arresting strangers. But
this is not necessary. If this policy
were followed it would discourage
tourists of certain sorts from enter
ing the city. But where the policy is
fair and all offenders are treated "a
like, the system operates with a rea-
sonable degree of success.
At any rate, something should be
done to prevent further loss of prop
erty and possible loss Of life as a re-
suit Of excessive speed of motor cars
on the busy highways of the city.
