COW TESTING REPORT

During the month of January 342
COWS were tested, 81 of which quail
fed for the forty pound class.
The high COW is owned by Carl j.
Alt, producing al pounds fat, This
same cow was the high two-year-Old
for the year just ending, having q.
record of SO pounds fat.
a two-year-old owned by Albert
Brinkman produced $50 pounds fat,
Oeing the high tWO-yearold for both
December and January.
The herd owned by L. w. Beadle is
being MIXED three times daily and
as may be seen by their production,
are doing very we'll.
Most members are feeding we'll bal
anced rations, but as many are very
short of good roughage, that makes
it necessary to feed more of the high
protein concentrate. A number of
the members have also purchased
western alfalfa, which was secured
through the Farm Bureau.

The Valiant Moderate

On. y. Herald Tribune)
There is no more romantic figure
of his era than Lafayettes Yet as
Mr.. Coolidge stressed in his scholar
ly and delightful Baltimore address,
the Marquis was a consistent mod
crate through a long life, attacking
royalist and revolutionary alike. He
pursued. decade after decade, that
golden mean which our wild young,
middle-aged and elderly radicals re-
gard as the dullest of all possible
careers.
AS a matter of obvious demonstra-
ton, to travel the middle of the road
requires far more courage than the
pursuit of any bypath. Treading it
you have enemies on your right and
your left. You double your oppon-
ents and YOU double your own chanc-
es of misstep.
The lot of the moderate resembles
the position of Caesar in his last bat
tie against the Gauls. He had be-
sieged NercingetoriX in a town and
was then himself besieged Neither
dismayed nor daunted, Caesar ac-
cepted the double role. threw up two
circles of trenches. the one fronting
inward, the other fronting outward,
and maintained his forces between
moreover, caesar won. /. Is a
fair parable of the moderate to-day
He Is the one really valiant and ro-
mantle figure of the hour when fash
ion turns either to red or white as a
color. Soldness. courage. freedom
are his watchwords. Shouting enc
mics throng on either side. The rad
icars curse is as conventionalized as
the prayer of the ultra conservative
The moderate is helped little by con-
vention; he must reason and choose
at every step.
Him and his great party, the most
daring, the most free of men. we
salute this day OF. Lafayette.

A cONUND DRUM

With a few small places yet to be
heard from the total vote for U. S.
Senator was 244.2s1, of which Fer
maid had 147,222.
These returns give the total vote
for Goysrnor as 251.s34, of which
Brewster had 143,926. or 1926 less
than were thrown for Fernald. But
the total gubernatorial vote, PSI, 1874
compared with the total senatorial
vote Of 244,2s1 is larger than the
latter by 1853.
In other words it appears that
1853 voters voted for one or the
other Of the two candidates for Gov
ernor who did not vote for either Of
the candidates for Senator.
How many Of these voted for
Brewster and not for Fernald? The
latter's vote being 1926 larger than
Brewster's would seem to indicate
not many. though it is not likely
many voted for Brewster and Red
man. considering the size Of Red
mans vote.
The other alternative. aside from
possibly some effect from the split
! ting of ballots and from those who
may have voted for local candidates
and Pattangall. appears to be that
several thousand people went into
the booths and OF all the names
printed on the ballot placed a cross
opposite the name Of Pattangall
alone.
Following this assumption what
was the cause Of 1t? Why should a
voter take all the trouble of voting
for but one name on the ballot? One
suggestion is-evidently the Demo-
; cratic organization among the wo-
men of that party was excellent
that this peculiar result may have
been contributed to by Democratic
women. and probably by some Of the
men. who were not keen to vote al
all but finally were persuaded tc
vote for Pattansall, the candidate OF
them all whom the Democrats ex-
pected to elect. Anyhow, it is a
rather puzzling conundrum and is
giving rise to some speculation.
