Annuol County Holstein Meeting
Features of the annual meeting of
the Bucks County Holstein Associ-
alton, which will be held at the Ma
tional Farm School, Doylestown, on
Saturday afternoon, February %, at
100 o'clock, will be talks given by
C. F. Bigler, president of the New
York State Holstein Association, and
Allen Crissy, field man for the Ma
tional Holstein Association.
Bucks County Holstein breeders
and dairymen are very fortunate to
get man like Mr.. Bgler to attend
their annual meeting Mr.. Bigler
will come directly to Bucks County
from Syracuse, N. Y, where the
headquarters of the New York Assoc
citation are located. For several
years Mr.. Bigler has been head Of
that association, and during that
time he worked for the small breeder
and dairymen and has been success
full in bringing out the Importance
of the man who makes his living by
milking cows. Mr.. Bigler is first a
dairyman, then a Holstein man, so
that every person should try to hear
him whether Holstein breeder or
not.
A great deal is heard at the pres
ent time about the various breed
associations, pushing and advertising
their milk. 1t is likewise true that
in some respects and for some pur-
poses Holstein milk is superior to
any other. The National Holstein
Association has arranged for pub
which brings out the qualities of
the Holstein milk. Mr.. Crissey will
outline this campaign so that Hol-
stein breeders may be intelligently
informed and then talk the good
qualities Of their milk.
Plans for an annual field day next
year, and a definite program Of
work for the association will be
some Of the other features discus
sed. Every man who owns black
and white, as well as every dairy
mar In the county is invited to at
tend this meeting.

DEMOCRATS EXPECTED TO SELECT PROGRESSIVE AS KEYNOTER
Errors on "AI" Smiths
First Name Cost
Him Votes.

YORK, Pa, May 2.-If "Al"
Smiths managers don't make
his first name better known,
he is liable to lose almost as
many votes as he gets in States
holding primaries, according to
election officials in York coun-
ty, who have just completed
the official count of the county
vote in the recent Pennsyl-
vania primary.
McAdoo carried the county
easily for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination, with 262
votes. At least fifty-six York
countians apparently wanted to
vote for New York's governor,
but only thirty-four Of them
voted for Alfred Smith, while
twenty-three cast their ballots
for "Albert" Smith.
The costliness Of the error IL
demonstrated by the fact that
albert" Smith received only
one vote less than the total
cast for William Jennings
Bryan.

to her sons and the bank failed tC
keep the Judgment 'atve." The
sons went into bankruptcy and
Mrs. Streaker had to take her
chances with the unsecured credi.
tors, whereas II the Judgment had
been renewed she would have been
preferred creditor. she sued for
the amount OF the judgment less
what she received DIS nCr share as

charged and the case left to the

Stone and Hoover Plan Test
Case in Court to Solve
Statistics Problem

Conferences between Attorney
General Stone and Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover have resulted in
the determination Of the Govern
ment to bring about a test case
which, it is hoped, may fix the legal
boundaries within which trade as
soctations may collect and distribute
business statistics without running
afoul the conspiracy laws, it be-
came known today.
Sometime ago former Attorney
General Daugherty, at Hoover's re-
quest, issued q letter outlining his
views on the legitimate activities Of
trade associations, but the decision
proved confusing and various inter-
pretatiohs were placed upon it by
attorneys for trade associations.
A test case which would go to the
United States Supreme Court would
settle the question for all time and
would be q healthy criterion upon
which business bodies could base
their activities, according to Hoover's
opinion.
The question Of new legislation
which would clarity statistical col
lection and dissemination has been
discussed by Stone and Hoover, but
they do not hope. for action at this
session OF Congress.
Attorney General Stone has stated
that he favors making the Govern
ment Of all possible assistance rather
than a hinderance to business gen.
orally, and from that attitude it
was anticipated that some specific
solution on the ruzzling question Of
statistical collection would be forth.
