CAR OF HOLSTEINS
FOR RAYMER

A car Of first class Holstein COWS
arrived In Raymer Tuesday morning
and are now on the farms Of George
G. Miller. Jay q. Miller, Sherman
Mercer, Glen johnson. Claude Lacock
and W. R. Thompson.
The purchase of the cows was the
result Of these farmers going together
and organizing the Raymer Holstein-
Friensian Association and sending
Mr.. Claude Lacock and Jay q. Miller
to Denver to buy the car load con-
sisting Of twenty-five young COWS,
picked out Of herd Of 800 Of the
City Park Dairy in Denver. These
are all three year old stuff. high
grades, their sires for generations
back being registered and selected
for their high milk production. A
rout half Of these are milking now.
and the other half will freshen soon.
At the same time a splendid reg
istered bull was purchased from the
Ben Simpson Dairy farm.
This makes 6 cd beginning to
place Raymer on the map as q dairy
center. and will bring about the d.
yersified farming that we all feel Ia
needed to make farming q safe ven
ture In this section.
We believe that 1t Is the most i'm
portant event in the life of Raymer
since the settlement Of these lands
'mmenced over ten years ago.
The Dairy COW will make necess-
ary, better hogs. better barns, and
silos and such things. Look out for
the results that the spotted COW will
bring.
The names Of the men back Of the
project is guarantee that the ex-
pertinent will be given a thorough
trial, and results In other places of
like endeavers leave no room to doubt
that It will turn out we'll.
The project has been talked for
some time. but Rev. Wood, who had
seen the same plan tried at other
places, did great deal to open the
way for putting the project into o.
peration here. and bringing the pra-
ticipants to a determination to act
as we'll as talk.
Perhaps this would not be lad

ny FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

-Four hundred war-built steel vessels
of the Shipping Board-nearly third
of it's entire fleet--will be sent to the
scrap heap. if Vice Chairman I. ".
O'Connors proposals are adopted. Mr..
UConnor, who originated the idea Of
"junkins" the governments useless
wooden ships, strongly urges that the
steel boats of demonstrated uselessness
be offered to the public at once for
scrapping. In no other way, he declares,
can the Treasury be saved the $1,l60'000
of annual expense. which 1t costs to
maintain them in their present unem-
ployed condition.
Uncle Sanl's LOSS Cited.
Uncle Sam, of course, would face the
same sort of loss in scrapping steel
ships that he met when 230 wooden
ships were knocked down to junk deal
ers for S750.000. The steel craft which
Commissioner OConnor now proposes
should be sold cost from $750.000 to
81, ,OO0. 900 apiece. on the dammit the-ex-
pense" war basis. Roundly. their con-
struction value was something like

the Shipping Board vice chairman, Is

400 Held Non-Essentfal. e.
The Shipping Board feet includes
400 vessels described as non--essential
to the promotion and maintenance Of
the American merchant marine. Half
of this number have been found un-
uitable, owing to mechanical de-
ficiences, even If they were requir ed.
1t costs, on the basis of expenditure
during the last six months, S2.S80
per year per ship to care for these
laid-up vessels. Additional work soon
TO be done on them will make the
cost considerably more. In other
words, the government Is spending
minimum of s1,152,000 annually In
taking care of ships that never will
be employed for the purposes laid
down by Congress in the merchant
marine act. According to Commits
sioner O'Connor, these obsolete and
idle boats by their mere existence
are actually a menace in f1ctitiously
accrediting the market with 400 ad-
ditional ships. thereby affecting the
sale of the balance.
