n N 1744 a girl was making a
journey from her home in
- Germany to st. Petersburg.
She was on her way to be be-
trothed to the Grand Duke Peter,
the nephew of the Empress Eliza
beth Of Russia.
In the mind of this fifteen
year-old child was one thought.
1t was that she would some day
be Empress of Russia.
She had been born in Stettin.
Her father was an obscure and
unimportant ruler of the prtnci-
pality of Anhalt-Zerbst in upper
Saxony. Her mother was a hard
hearted, scolding, irritable
woman. But she brought her
daughter up beautifully, and edu-
Gated her thoroughly.
So when this young lady be-
came the wife Of the grand duke,
she Immediately filled her posi-
ton at court with dignity and dis
tinction.
The marriage was not a happy
one. Peter was but a year older
than his bride. AS his wife pro-
crossed in charm, beauty, tact.
and diplomatic shrewdness, he de-
Perforated into a stupid and at
the same time vicious profligate.
At times he appeared to me men,
tally deficient.
Catherine-for this girl was the
famot4s. Catherine Of Russia-did
all in her power to reform his
drunken habits, but with no sue
cess. He insulted her in the most
humiliating ways.
Discouraged over her failure
to reform her royal husband, this
ambitious girl set ont for her
self. She mastered the. Russian
language and nodded herself and
her mind to perfection by sympa~
thy with the Russian feeling.
The old empress loved this bril-
liant duchess. And so did an
the courtiers. Every one felt her
force and intelligence.
When Elizabeth died. in 1862,
Catherine came into power
Peter was now Emperor, but
Catherine was the real ruler.

HEROINES OF HISTORY
UTERINE OF RUSSIA BECAME GREAT EMPRESS

Famous Women
BY MARK STUYVESANT

Peter spent his nights in drink
ing and carousing. Catherine
worked at the difficult task OF
mastering craftsmanship.
Before long this ambitious
young woman had built up such
a strong personal party of her
own that with little trouble she
seized the throne from her worth
less husband and ruled the Rus
sian empire absolutely and en-
tirely alone.
1t was during GATHERINGS rein
that Russia grew to be the great
power she was. And it was due
in a great measure to the love
and devotion which Catherine
gave to her work. She consid-
cred her subject her children.
Russia was hers. She introduced
culture, started the opera, and i'm
ported workers Of art.
Education was encouraged.
Catherine made a study Of French
literature. and correspondent with
Voltaire in order to improve her
own mind and in that way learn
to be able to refine her subjects.
1t was no unusual sight to see
the beautiful Empress, booted
and spurred. in the uniform Of a
cavalry officer, inspecting her
troops. She saw personally to the
comfort OF their equipment, in
Vestigated the food which was
served them, and encouraged them
with the magic Of her personality.
Despite her laxity in private life
and her sometimes cruel public
deeds. Catherine Is remembered as
a great woman and great ruler.
She extended the Russian empire.
to vast proportions. She steered
her ship OF state with accuracy.
wisdom and courage for thirty
four years. Her hand left the.
helm only when death claimed her
suddenly. She was stricken with
apoplexy and died in a few hours.
Her life is expressed completely
in her own simple yet eloquent

ADS IN SPRING
HAVE BEST
PULL"
COPYRIGHT. aOss. b. star c,smpsnv.

TTOW many advertisers ever take
into serious consideration the
- fact that peoples reading
habits vary according to the sea-
son? / don't mean that we are
more likely to read about UNI
brellas during a rainy season than
when the weather is bright and
clear, but am referring to read
ing habits much less obvious.
To begin with, one might think
that most reading would be done
at the season when the days are
respondingly long. If that were
true, public library records would
show the big reading months to
be December and January. But
that is not according to the
facts. More books are taken from
public Libraries in late February
and the early part Of March than
in December.
The explanation seems to be
that during the season Of slush,
when it is too late for winter
sports and too early for spring
activities, reading is about all
there is to do. I should rather
run certain kinds Of advertising
then than at any other time.
Library records show a demand
for much seasonal reading that
cannot easily be accounted for.
People read far more genealogy
In the spring than in the fall,
but more astrology in the fall
than in the spring. Why? That's
just the question: Why?
Conceivably, there may be ad-
vertising more potent in the
spring or in the fall, even when
no reason is evtdent.-Fred Kelly

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

TT is more disgraceful to sus.
pect our friends than to be
- deceived by them.
None so much resembles an
honest man as a shrewd rascal.
When any calamity has been
suffered the first thing to be re-
membered is, how much has been
escaped.
OF all the passions. jealousy is
that which exacts the hardest
service and pays the bitterest
wages.
The first degree Of folly is to
think oneself wise, the next to tell
others so. the third to despise all
counsel.
aid Of ornament, but is when un-
adorned adorned the most.
'Tis not in mortals to command
success,
But We'll do more, Sempron1uS-
we'll deserve 1t.
He who has a soul wholly de-
void of gratitude should set his,
soul to learn of his body, for all
the parts Of that minister to one
another.
A friendship that makes the
least noise is very often the most
useful, for which reason a pru.
dent friend is preferable to O
Jealous one.
There is nothing that wears
out a fine face like the vigils of
the card table, and those cutting
passions which attend them.
1t is an error to suppose that
man belongs to his wife, or his
children, or to society in some
form or other.
A mind too vigorous and active
serves only to consume the body
to which it is joined as the rich
est jewels are soonest found to
wear their settings.
Whatever that be which thinks.
which acts, it is something &C.
lestial and divine-and upon that
account must be eternal.

DAIRYING ON A BUSINESS
BASIS

Every business concern keeps
more or less complete records and
accounts of their operations and
transactions. The success of busi-
ness enterprises depend to large
extent upon the keeping and use
of these records. The relation be-
tween business records and bust
ness profits is evident. Records
of cost and production are the
base from which the business
operations and management are
carried on. The average margin
of profit, or the difference be,
tween the cost of manufacturing
or llandeling the goods and the
value received for them. on the
ordinary business is from per
cent to ID per cent. One firm
doing a large business in this sec
ton operated last year on mar
gin of profit of less than 2 percent.
These profit margins are the re-
suit of careful business manage
ment based on the Keeping and
use of good business records.
The average dairy herd of this
section operates with a margin of
profit of about ID to 20 per cent,
without records of production or
costs, or any basis for intelligent
management The average herd
on which production and costs re
cords are kept and used operates
on a margin of profit of from 80 to
GG per cent. The good business
management of the herds result
ing from the keeping and use of
records has brot very substan-
tial increase in profits. On the
cvcraee. record keeping among the
dairy herds of Prowers County has
resulted in increased profits sllf-
ficieut in amount to pay a divi-
deld of 800 per cent on the money
spent for the making of the rec
Ords
The average manufacturing bust
ness cannot operate successfully
without records Tie average
dairy business can operate profit
ably without records because of
the larger margin of profit that
the dairy COW will return but the
pofts on the dairy business can
and have been increased to five
and six times their original amount
by the keeping OF production and
costs ccords.

Every herd in the Arkansas Val
ley where records are kept and
used is an example of what busi.
ness methods in dairying can ac'
complish. Herd records show month
ly feed sevings from $40 to $50
yearly productions increases from
l55 pounds butterfat to 296 pounds
butterfat. and profit per COW per
year increases from 64 cents to STAG
Testing and record keeping has
shown individual COWS producing
as high as eight gallons of milk
per day to make only SIS profit
per year while other cows in the
same herd giving only three and
one half to four gallons per day
have made yearly profit of sl5G and
over. The benefit of the know
ledge Os such items as these
coupled with intelligent action
and management cannot help but
be very evident and result in big
returns to the owner of the herd.
The keeping of records by
Prowers County dairymen and the
basing of their herd management
and rations upon these records
has enabled these dairymen TO.
cull ont their poor producers; feed
their herds more cheaply and more
satisfactorily: check their breed
ing operations and results, procur-
ing high class bulls at low cost.
and raising better producing cows
at a cheaper cost increase the
value of their herd individuals:
advertise their herds in the cheap
est and most effective way posi-
BILE; and to get official certificates
of their cows production preform-
ances.
Because the United States Dept.
of Agriculture and the state DAIRY
Commission cooperating lnrhlsh
free blanks, record books, certitl-
Gates of production, and office
facilities for checking, compiling
and recording the records, ana be
cause the testing supplies ana
acid are furnished free, Prowers
County dairymen have an oppor-
tunity of obtaining complete pro
duc.ion and costs records on thef
dairy heds at considerably less
than the actual cost OF making
the records. The best, easiest and
cheapest way of placing a dairy
herd on sound business basis and
thus improving management
methods and greatly increasing the
profits is to place that herd on the
membership list of Cow Testing
