EYES ON LLOYD GEORGE

London, Nov. There was no de-

leaders has not yet issued any cleo
ton address. In the meantime, he is
confined to his home with a cold. This
prevents him from delivering two of
his speeches. His condition was i'm
proved Wednesday night and he ap-
pears confident that he will be able
to speak in London Saturday.
If Lloyd George still intends 10
carry out his threat TO run his own
against the conservatives.
he must hasten his decision, because
no additional candidates can be nom
mated after Saturday. Despite per
sistent official denials. there is little
doubt that underground negotiations
ire afoot but nothing has been allowed
20 leak as to their nature or success.
Premier Bonar Law is credited with
becoming resentful over the personal
attacks on his ministerial colleagues
and with intending to hit back vigor-
1usly, basing his position on the ground

plated against the interests of the

Election oratory is again in full
lood and is notable for bitter person
ilities, especially between the sup

Sir George Younger.
New candidates are being nomin-

400 nominations. A striking feature

How could my daughter fire a shot
into her own body that would take
the course the bullet took which ended
her life?

bers are being benefited by such CO.
operative associations even more than
the organizers had anticipated.
Some form of cooperative breeding
Is essential to the proper growth of
the dairy industry in many sections of
the country, for the reason that the
average herd at present is so small
that the owner cannot afford to buy a
good purebred bull, and it is certain
that the herds of the future will not
be large enough to change this condi-
tion materially. The movement to get
more people living on farms and in vii
lagos to keep family cows tends to
diminish the average size of the herd,
for the one or two cows kept by each
family arereally herd in themselves,
but owners of small herds cannot af-
ford to keep a bull. They, therefore.
depend upon neighboring bulls, and
the cooperative association is one
means of providing for such cows the
service of high-class bulls.
The dairy extension men In South
Carolina, for example, realizing the
Importance of the cooperative bull
association, have made it part o.
their campaign for "twO cows to each
rural family" and they have set as
goal the organization in their state of
ia cooperative bull associations.
