THE DIFFERENCE WAS IN
FEEDING.

Fayette county, Iowa, brings
forth some rather compelling
evidence on the worth of care
full feeding. A certain Brown
Swiss herd Of ten cows received
from january 18th to February
LIST, last winter, their usual ra-
ton Of two parts ground corr,
one part oats and timothy hay
at will. During that time they
produced 675 pounds of but
terfat which brought $30.15.
The total feed cost being $2166
a profit Of 1927 was realized.
The grain mixture was then
changed to equal parts Of ground
corn, oats and oilmeal. Allowing
two weeks for the cows to be-
come accustomed to the change.
records were kept from February
18th to March LIST. In that period
these same cows produced 98.3
pounds of butterfat which
brought $56.O7. The feed cost
being $4,000 and leaving a profit
of $16.04.
No better evidence could be
gotten of the necessity for care
full feeding in determining proc
its from the herd. 1t is not an
unusual case, any of Us could
point to hundreds, yes, rhou-
sands, of eases where equally as
pronounced results have come
from careful feeding. A COW is
merely a machine for the man
ufacture of milk and butterfat.
Like any other manufacturing
plant she can produce a finished
product only in proportion as
she has available the raw ma
terials from which that product
is made. 1t is up to the feeder
to make those materials available
and his profits will be guaged BY
the thoroughness with which he
does so.-The Dairy Farmer.

HEAVY RAINS ARE
DAMAGING ROADS

VALDOSTA, July 16.-The re-
cent heavy rains are damaging the
roads in many directions and the
repair gangs operating under the
State Highway Department, as woil
as the county forces, are kept busy
repairing the damage where the
shoulders of the new roads are
swept away. Some bad washes are
found on the Troupville road just
out Of the city, as well az along the
NEW road extending from the Val
dosta-Quitman road to the Troup-
vile road. These washed places are
being filled in as rapidly as pos
sible. Other evidence Of the excess
Isive rains is seen at the river, which
had oyerflowed the banks and Sun
day was sweeping out into the la
goons and rapidly filling them win
water.

ADMISSION TAX LAW
TO BE INTERPRETED

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The
bureau Of Internal revenue has com
pletcd and soon will issue the first
part Of the revised regulations
under the new tax law, setting
forth the treasury's Interpretation
of the law applying tax on adj
missions. Bureau experts have
been engaged for some time in
drawing up a construction Of all
provisions of the law and it is ex-
pected that the revision will be COM
pleted in another thirty days.
The new regulations make defi-
mite the apparent intent Of congress
to levy a 10 per cent tax on the
whole admission when the charge is
more than so cents. The tax does
mot apply under any circumstances
when the admission is so cents or
less and the bureau has issued a
caution to the public against col
lection Of taxes except when the
amount exceeds 80 cents.
Most theaters and amusement
places have stocks of tickets bear
ing the old admission rate plus the
tax borne on such admission prior
to the repeal, so the bureau has
given them until September / il
which to obtain new tickets bearing
printed dates in compliance with the
new provisions.
Destruction Of the old tickets
must be accounted for to the bu-
reau by the owners. The regula-
tions granted one privilege to hold
ers Of great stocks Of tickcts-they
may have them reprinted" or
stamped plainly in the new amounts.

The flood Of gold into our
country from abroad comes FAST
er. It's at the rate of almost half
a billion dollars a year, or much
more than a year ago. Bankers
discuss the unwisdom Of America
corralling all the gold in tire
world, which seems to be the
tendency. Maybe they exaggel-
ate the danger. Talk of other
nations discarding gold as a
basis Of their money systems is
shot air." The alteration of gold
is stronger than money systems,
stronger even than governments.

slump Of the melon market a con
siderable number of excellent W.
termelons are being left in the
fields this season. Several grow-
ers, having very fine melons thus
left on their lands, are taking STEPS
to save the seed for market and qra
feeding the pulp and rinds to their
hogs and in this way will get a con-
siderable revenue from what would
otherwise be a waste product. The
pulp makes excellent hog feed and

We re a Nation of
Rovers

How many different towns
have you lived in? How many
times have you moved from one
house to another? Flow many
miles have you travelled since
birth?-
Most of us find that, as the
years slip by, we travel more,
>move oftener and change jobs
more frequently
Gone~are the days when son
followed in fathers footsteps
generation after generation, liv-
ing in the same town. the same
old family homestead, generally
the same line of work as parent.
There are many indications
that we are becoming a race of
Cypsies-rovers. 1t is the
natural result Of better transport
tation facilities, especially the
auto.
Twenty years ago, a man or
woman ia hing trip of 1000
miles was the talk of the town.
Today one attracts more atten-
ton if he doesn't take an oc-
casional long trip than if he
does. People move from house
to house, city to city, job to job,
farm to farm.
Covered wagon days are re-
turning-nearly everyone pio-
neer, yearning to be somewhere
else, doing something differ
emf.
One symptom of our Gypsy
tendency is the increasing GUS
tom Of not building for perma-
nence. Houses used to be built
to last forever, if possible. Now
they're thrown together. Own
ers don't care. Most of them
expect to move in few years.
Same with auto ownership
the buyer, when he buys, al
ready is looking ahead to the
date when he'll trade in the
old car for new one.
E. W. Forbes, head of Fogg
Art Museum of Harvard, warns
that the paintings Of some of
our modern artists may not last
more than SO years because of
inferior canvas or paints. Excel
lent materials are on the mar
ket for the artist, but often he
is careless in buying and using.
Bad paint, improperly varnish-
ed, may fade to a blur instead
of lasting centuries like the mas
terpieces of the old-time paint
ers.
All this is typical of our gen
erations attitude: ''Today's the
thing. Let tomorrow take care
OF Itself
Two definite reasons why we
are becoming Gypsy rovers and
do not build for permanence.
First, we realize more than ever
before that life is merely jour
ney, training school or gymna-
sium for self-improvement.
We view life as a Pullman
car-and are quite willing to
leave peanut hulls and banana
peels behind us.
Then, too, we build only for
permanence in big projects like
the Panama Canal, because we
are busy creating new ideas, pro
cesses and devices-and willing
to replace repeatedly the ma
teriai things expressing these
ideas, processes and devices.
Former generations, for instance.
. were content to use a horse and
buggy and make them last as
long as possible. We conceive
or build the IDEA of the auto
-and that idea is permanent

When the Electoral
College Fails to Elect

The probability of the cleo
ton of President and Vice-Presi-
dent being thrown into the
House Of Representatives this
year is stronger than ever. Last
week William Jennings Bryan,
in commenting on the, nominal
ton Of his brother, claimed that
such a contingency was more
likely since the selection of Da-
Wis and Bryan than before.
Unquestionably La Toilette
will grab a stable bunch Of
votes in the West and Central
West, causing reflections from
both major parties. LaFol-
lette's friends already claim the
Wisconsin senator will carry
group of Western States whose
electoral vote is 81, with pros
poets of getting others.
A candidate must secure a
majority of the votes in the cleo
toral college. that is 53l. Fail
ure to secure a majority by eth
er of the candidates throws the
election in to the House of Rep
resentatives.
The | 9th amendment Of the
Constitution of the United
States fixing the manner of the
election of President and Vice
President by the House follows:
The electors shall meet in their
respective states and vote by ball
lot for President and Vice-Presi-
dent, one of whom at least shall
not be an inhabitant of the same
state with themselves; they shall
name in their ballot the person
voted for as President, and in
distinct ballots the person voted
for as Vice President; and they
shall make distinct lists of all
persons voted for as Vice-Presi-
dent and of the number of votes

Senate; the President of the SEN
ate shall in the presence of the
Senate and House of Represen-
tative, open all the certificates,
and the votes shall then be
counted; the person having the
greatest number of votes for
President shall be the President,
if such a number be a majority
Of the whole nunbrs of electors
appointed; and if no person have
such majority, then from the
persons having the highest num-
bers, not exceeding three, on the
list of those voted for as Presl-
dent, the House of Representa-
tives shall choose Immediately,
by ballot, the President. But in
choosing the President the votes
shall be taken by states, the rep
resentatiOn of each state having
one vote; a quorum for this pur-
pose shall consist of a member
or members from two-thirds of
the states, and majority of all
the states shall be necessary to a
choice. And if the House Of
Representatives shall not choose
a President, whenever the right
of choice shall devolve upon
them. before the fourth day Of
March next following, then the
Vice-President shall act as Presi-
dent, as in the case of the death
or other constitutional disability
of the President. The person

Twice in our history has the
election been thrown into the
House. The Albany Herald re-
lates two instances. Says the
Herald
Thomas Jefferson was so elect
ed in 1900, after he and Aaron
Burr had tied in the electoral
college with 70 votes each. And
in 1924, just 100 years ago, John
Quincy Adams was elected by
the House of Representatives,
despite the fact that his opponent
Andrew jackson, had received a
large majority of the popular
vote. This was after the Consti-
tuition had been amended so as
to require separate balloting in
the House for President and
Vice-President. Originally, the
two candidates receiving the
highest and next highest votes
were declared elected President
and Vice-President, respectively.
Should this election be
thrown into the House. Georgia
will have one vote, as will New
York, Rhode Island and each of
the other states.
