PRESS COMMENT
The Dairv Cow

The dairy COW is the greatest
producer of food values in the
country today. Neither wheat mol
cotton nor corn equal in value
what she creates, and it is worth
remembering that the years pro.
duction of single well-bred ami
NAL is worth more than the whole
Carcasses of five 1000-pound beet
steers.
Last year the American dairy
COW produced almost 99,000,000,-
600 pounds of milk worth $780,
100000 and milk is only raw ma
teriaf. When we consider butter
cheese, condensed, matted and
powdered milk, ice cream, choco-
late and half a hundred less inn
portant by-productS the value of
milk in dollars and in the indus
tries of which it is the basis be-
comes apparent.
But we are talking of well-bred
COWS, and it is only too true that
there are millions of scrubs on
American farms which are hardly
worth their keep when milk and
meat and hide and hoofs have all
been counted. 1t is because of this
that the government of the Uni
ted States has called a conference
of dairy experts from every land.
1t is because of this that every
now and again the press services
tell of the sale of some blooded
animal at a price that makes us
gasp, and that great railroads and
great producers of farm imple-
ments and machinery are so earn
est in their encouragement of the
dairy industry.
They know that, as a factor in
farm prosperity, the dairy COW
leads all the rest, and they spare
no effort for the Increase of her
tribe.-Brattleboro Reformcr.

Farewell Old Tree!

Farewell Old Tree!
Without thought, we cannot let you go
And see your proudly waving crest
Upon the ground laid low.
The nesting birds have made home
Mid your leafy branches fair
And children played beneath your shade
In the golden summer air,
A hundred years-here you have stood
Beneath the bending sky
10 reach it ever have aspired-
Higher-and yet more high!
And though in beauty and in grace
Your form still lowered on high
A ruthless hand has laid you low
While summer breezes sigh.
No more the birds among your leaves
Their morning praise will sing
No more in summers scorching heat
Your grateful shade you'll fling.
And so farewell
In memory still your beauty may live on
Though from the place which you have graced
You are forever gone

NEWS FROM THE TEST WELL
FOR OIL

The derrick is completed and the
machinery is being hauled out to the
farm of F. A. Lamb near CORTLAND.
In fact, the machinery will all be out
to the place in day or two. The
men are getting the machinery in
place as rapidly as possible to start
drilling. A good deal of activity is
being manifested in the vicinity now.
A great many people go out every
day to see the derrick, which is very
interesting to a great many people
who never saw one. The people in
the neighborhood are intensely i'm
terested because they believe in the
possibilities of that section. They
hope to get started to actually drill

Dangers of Reactionary Legislation

Washington, April Attention is

THIEVES ENTER
HARKINS STORE
Buddy Duke Caught In The Store
Sent With Accomplish to the
Farm"

Saturday night Immediately after
the fire on Wood street, Mr.. Harley
Watson had occasion to visit the
John r. Harkins store where he is
employed, and when he entered the
store he discovered pile of groceries
and eatables all tied up in packages
piled on the counter. Mr.. Watson
was the last person to lock up the
store that night and he remembered
that he did not leave such a pile of
goods tied up on the counter. He
became suspicious and began look
ing around the store to try and
solve the mystery. Mr.. Benford
Rayburn, who entered the store with
Mr.. Watson, joined in the search
of the building for further informa-
ton tending to unravel the mystery
of how the "eats" got tied up and
placed in a pile on the counter.
After searching around for some
time, Mr.. Raybun found small
negro boy named Buddy Duke
secreted under one of the counters.
An officer was called who took the
boy in charge, and after putting the
young fellow through close ex-
animation, three other negro boys
were arrested as accomplices.
Thursday the Duke negro and one
other boy confessed in court to the
crime and were sent to the farm, one
other boy named as an accomplice
was held under bondn, while the
fourth has not yet had preliminary
hearing. Water Valley Herald.

The other professor was of the
opinion that the stove was elevated
to be above the window in order that
cool and pure air could be had at
night.
The host, being of practical turn,
thought that the stove was set high
in order that a good supply of green
