GUERNSEY DAY
ATTRACTS MANY

AT the annual Held DAY OF tne
Bucks County Guernsey Breeders
Association, held at the farm of
William w. Hurley, on the Solebury
road, last Saturday, lis persons
were in attendance, and many inter-
esting talks We're listened to.
J. P. Broadhurst, manager of the
"Breidablik Farm" Wilmington,
Delaware, put on Guernsey type
demonstration, and said that the
most important breeders are now
giving more attention to type than
to blood lines.
Harold Watson, of Newtown, mem
Der of the Edgewood Calf Club, dis
played both his heifer and her calf
In eight months she had produced
almost 5000 pounds of milk, at a
profit of $1S0.31 above feed cost,
and he valued the calf at $3.50 more,
making the total profit $3S0.31. This
was regarded as none too high, in
the Judgment of the audience.
NJ. J. Grimes, of Columbia County,
said that this demonstration was
worth his trip to Bucks County to
see. w. F. Fretz, of Pipersville, and
j. S. Briggs, Yardley, both agreed
that the successful showing of the
Walton boy warranted the encour-
agement of the calf club plan.
Mr., Grimes, told about the pro-
gram they follow in that county. In
the first place they require all
members to have their cattle tested
for tuberculosis in order to oper-
ate under the accredited herd plan.
Then, in order to make progress and
weed out the poor cows, they urge
all members to do cow-testing work
or advanced registry work. In one
year their association sold $4,000
worth of Guernseys. Ten of their
members authorized committee to
attend the Langwater sales in 1923
and pay $4,000 for a Guernsey bull.
Following this, he said other com
munities did the same thing, so
that now nearly all of their men,
bers are breeding to high class
Guernsey sires.
Harry Hayward, an advertising
specialist, gave merchandising talk
He pointed out that people are buy
ing milk today according TO quail
ity and that Guernsey breeders
should take particular advantage OF
this because their milk is of a very
high quality. He said he had never
seen advertising that featured the
palatability of milk which is asso-
ciated with fat content. Since the
fat content of Guernsey milk is high
he felt the Guernsey milk produ.
GERS should make big drive or
that point. At this point he callec
attention to the white Nectar
advertising of the Holstein people
In the business meeting the fol

Merchant Dies In Garden

Stricken as he worked in the gar
den at his Summer bungalow at
Byram, N. j., opposite Point Pleas
ant, Saturday, Samuel A. Hellyer,
prominent veteran merchant Of Doy-
lestown, died suddenly after he had
walked to the roadway. Mr.. Hellyer
had been enjoying his usual health
earlier in the day, but before going
to the river had changed tire on
his automobile in the almost bis-
tering sun, and later had worked in
the garden. 1t is believed that posi-
bly, the intense heat had something
to do with his collapse resulting
from an attack of apoplexy.

LITTLE BEDTIME STORY
Farmer Browns Boy Learns Much
BY THORNTON W. BURG Ess

stand duck talk. If I could I proba- bly, would hear all about what hap pened to get MT. Quack in such a fix. And I probably would learn just what ducks think of men; so perhaps it's just as well that cannot understand"
 In that matter Farmer Browns Boy was quite right. His ears would have burned if he could have understood what MT. and Mrs. Quack were saying. You see, they were trying to decide what they should do. In their hearts was the home call from the far north land, so strong that they fairly ached with longing. But MT. Quack could not fly, all because of a two-legged creature called man who had tried to kill MT. Quack, not because Mir. Quack had ever done him any harm or could do him any harm, not because he really needed MT. Quack for din- ner, for he didn't, but for what he called fun. It was this that made Mir. and Mrs. Quack actually look down on all two-legged creatures called men as enemies who didn't even know the meaning of fai-ness.
 From way over toward the Big River there sounded the bang of a gun. Farmer Browns Boy saw how instantly fear, great fear, took possession of MT. and Mrs. Quack. They stretched their heads up, listening, and fear was in their eyes. They swan about nerv- ously, and it was long time before they settled down in comfort as they had been before. The face of Farmer Browns Boy grew thoughtful. He was beginning to understand a little of what life must be like with a terrible fear always ready to take possession at the least unknown sound.
 1t must be awful" thought he. 'It must be just awful never to know when you are safe. I used to think it was fun to hunt birds and animals with my gun, but I never thought of how they must feel. It must be bad enough just to never dare go Tear anything for fear of danger hiding there, but what must it be like to be hurt like that duck out there? He not only has to suffer all the fear that the other one does, but also the worse fear of know ing that he can't fly from danger if he sees it. And then all the time he is probably suffering pain from that bro- ken wing. And men call it sport, which is mans way of saying fun, to frighten and hurt helpless and beauti- full little people like those two out there! I'm almost ashamed that I'm some day going to be a man. Anyway, when I am man I'm going to do something to protect the little people who cannot protect themselves; sec if I don't! I wish I could catch that duck without soaring him to death. If l could, believe I could fix that wing, just as I did the little Bob Whites last fall. l wish I could. But per hans Old Mother Nature will take care of it. I guess I'll have to be content with seeing that he gets plenty to eat. I can do that much, anyway, to make up for what the hunters have done to him.

LISTENING IN ON EVE

"Lucile," said mother late yesterday Afternoon when came in from the eountry. "WaIter Paul called you pver and over again today. He couldn't understand not hearing from you.

 "You should have let him know that Gou were going to do something else. pfm afraid he's really vexed." T don't care if he is. Just because Fin engaged to him I don't have to be ht his beck and call, do r."
 "An engagement doesn't seem to mean what it used to when I was kirl," sighed mother. T should think fou'd wish to be with him."
 Well, I do a reasonable amount s*But he has no right to try to absorb All my time," I answered, and then 5rlly came to tell me that MT. Paul wished to speak to me on the telephone. "Why didn't you meet me as agreed For lunch, Lueile?" he asked rather I thought.
 "Oh, it was too bad about that" I feplied pleasantly. You see I got Into mixup and couldn't very we'll telephone you. I'm sorry if you wasted |uueh time waiting for me-"

 Your time appears to be quite thoroughly occupied" he remarked, as he hung up.
 This morning early I received a special delivery note from him. He has given me an opportunity to release him from our engagement, and I shall cer- tainly do it. He says that he feels that I am too much taken upswith other peo. pie to care deeply for him, and he said I had not been quite frank with him about my day in the country yesterday. He happened to meet George Requier at the club when he was writing me and George must have said something that disclosed the fact that he had taken me to Brooklawn Park. He spoke of my Dix Amies excursion with George

 Dear me, Walter, I won't bother you with a lot of .iresome details about committee work in the Dix Amies. I got miles away from a phone. I was away out in the country, near Whaugh- pool, looking up charity case" I thought it unnecessary to explain that George Requier had called me early in the morning to ask me to drive out to Brooklawn Park to see sick client. I accepted the invitation because thought it would be good opportunity to call on a woman out that way whom the Dix Amies are trying to help As it turned out we didn't have time to go to her house.
 Well, I'll be over this evening, Lu- cile," said Walter.
 You hadn't better come tonight, Walter. Burling Preston will be here"
 Indeed" Walters tone was cold. How about tomorrow night, then?"
 Now, isn't that a shame? I'm go- ing to a theatre with Hal Bentley"
 Perhaps then, you may be able to see me on Sunday. Of course, I don't wish to interfere with any of your plans"
 Don't be sarcastic, Walter. It's most unnatural to you and unbecoming. As it happens an old army friend is coming here from Atlanta to see me on Sunday. When dad and l were in

Home Study Helps In Land-

"The worst thing that could happen 0 me would be to lose my job," girl was overheard to say in noon lunch room. "Why can't you take out in surance against that" The reason that no company would offer such a policy is obvious. Yet here is young woman who helps to fit girls and wom- eH by the thousands for positions and then on to better positions higher up, who says that evening classes outside office hours are job insurance

 There are two ways to get out of . rut," says Miss Margaret Flenniken, Associate director of the National Edu- cational division of the Young Women s Christian association, when approached for advice to the girl who is restless and dissatisfied. '.One is to pull up stakes altogether and to prepare to en- ter a new type of work. The other IS to enlarge and develop ones ability in the same position. We find that q girl may transform her attitude so thoroughly by widening her knowledge that her whole work seems different. Before she knows it, such girl may get the advancement that puts an end fO her restlessness and her lack of ini- tiative.
 1t is not so much what girl de- cides to study, or when or where, that the realization of what her leisure prop |erly managed may do for her. If you will look back into the leisure of most successful people, particularly during their early periods, you will find their spare time, at least portion of it, put to good use. Once started in outside study, whether university extension work, '. W. c. A. evening classes or might school, a young woman very ire quently gets the habit. As she pro- |gresses, she goes back to supplment her equipment or knowledge"
 As for the girl who follows the pull method, Miss Flenniken advises that she talk it over with some |Dne who knows the demand and her qualifications first, before deciding def |initely to give up her present work. Any association school director, she
