Wife, after a night with the
boys, no longer drops in to buy
American, Beauties, and his fail
ure to do so is hitting the
florists where it hurts most
the cash register, the latter de-
clare.
Accordingly, it's to the women
that the florists must look for
patronage these Sahara days,
and the women are not regard
ed as particularly liberal spend
ers for flowers, local dealers
assert.

FOR PRE-WAR BONDS

NEW YORK, April 25.-Local
bankers received word today that
the Frederick Krupp Works of Es-
sen, had called for redemption of
their pre-war per cent bonds,
dated 1893 and 1908. offering hold
ers 10 per cent of their face value
in gold marks and 1O1s per cent in
new s per cent gold mark bonds.
Each issue is believed to have total
ed about 5O,O0O,00 marks.

first offer Of German Industrial In
terests to redeem their pre-war
obligations in other than paper cur
rency.
The action of the Krupp interests
in paying off these obligations In
gold it is said, may lead to similar
action by other German industries.

SHORTHORNS COMBINE
BEEF AND MILK

Notwithstanding the testimony of
countless breeders and farmers for
more than a century that Short
horns have been successful and sat
~isfactory dual-purpose cattle, in the
face of a marvellous record in show
arenas and beef markets of the
world. in the face of numerous very
creditable milk and butter records
and of many champion prizes wrest-
ed from dairy breeds by shorthorn
cows, the claim of this dual quality
has been ridiculed and publicly
branded as an impossibility. 1t is
not reasonable to presume that any
shorthorn advocate would allow his
enthusiasm to carry him to h be-
lief or statement that the most per-
feet beef form and the greatest
milk production could exist in the
same animal, but it is a safe and
reasonable belief and one fully jus
tilted by the records of shorthorn
history that these dual qualities can
and do exist in one breed to the
extent that has been claimed-that
of beef quality and form unsurpass-
ed by and milk and butter produc-
ton unequalled by any beef breed.
