good milch COW for every family. One
good COW well cared for will give as
much milk and far better milk than
three or four scrubs that are forced to
feed on buck brush and dog-fennel.
We all know that half the time the
milk is not fit to use when the COW
feeds on the above named plants, with
few wild onions now and then.
The question as | see it is this:
Which is the better, to fence against
your own stock or to fence against
your own and your neighbors? My
impression is that the man who is Op-
posed to the stock law is a man who
scrub cattle out on the public, possibly
to break into a widows corn patch
and eat it every last bit in a single
night.
We have an example Of "A stock law
in that part of Randolph county east
! of Black river Are the people in
that district satisfied? Are the rent
ers and the widows and orphans starv-
ing for milk and butter? DO they have

The idea is absurd. There are more
good cows in that part Of the county
at the present time than ever before
in its history.

Davis Opposes Stock Law

/ desire to say a few words to the
good people of Randolph county in ex-
PLANTATION of my stand against the
stock law north and west of Black
river.
If you wish to ruin the county and
yourself, vote for the stock law. On
the other hand, II you wish to be on
the side Of common honesty and CO.
operate in support of justice to all,
vote against the stock law. This pro-

The Stock Law

To the Editor Star-Herald,
Dear Sir:
| notice that several readers of your
paper have expressed themselves with
reference to the proposed stock law.
With your permission, would like to
give my views on the subject.
First, may l say that one would
think from most that has been written
on the subject that the people Of Ran
dolph county are composed almost en-
tirely of widows, orphans and aristo-
Gratis.
No one is more in favor of protect
ing the widow and orphans than am

After Italian Graft Cuts

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, June
2O.--Out Of the fog-shrouded North
Atlantic came a story today OF how
presence Of mind and devotion to
duty saved probably 1000 lives
when the Canadian Pacific liner
Metagama was nearly cut In two in
collision with the Italian steamship
Clara Campus in thick curtain Of
mist seven miles off Cape Race.
Both vessels, the MetagaHna carry
Ing 1000 passengers, were creeping
through the fog Wednesday, when
the Italian ship struck the other
steamer aTnidship, tearing a huge
hole in her hull.
So serious was the. accident that
the officers Of the Canadian liner
feared she could not make shore,
and began Immediately to send out
20. o. S." calls.
Other vessels turned from their
course, but owing to the thick
weather had difficulty in reaching
the scene Of the accident.
Water Fills Hold.
The Metagama began q thrilling
race for safety.
While the hold filled with water,
the vessel was turned toward shore,
but could only creep, owing to the
thick fog and the severe list to
starboard. The pumps were kept
working at the highest pressure.
while officers went among the pas
sengers assuring them that they
were safe.
throughout the entire night

almost impenetrable mist, the vessel
crawled towards land. It appeared
to be a losing fight. for the water
kept gaining continuously over the
pumps.
AZ last, after a twenty.four hour
battle, the Metagama made port
and was beached. Officers said she
was saved ''by q few yards" as the
water in the huh had nearly
reached the limit, destroying the
ships "buoyance."
Sailors Lost In Boat.
Despite the danger to themselves
and their charges, officers did not
neglect the italian ship. They sent
three sailors from the Metagama to
find out how badly the Clara Cam.
pus had been damaged. They got
lost in the fog and failed to- reach
the Italian vessel. Nor could they
find their way back to the Meta.
CANA, and their fate is unknown.
The Clara Campus reached port
shortly after the Metagama. with
her bows badly crumped.
While the Canadian ship was
creeping toward port, the Red Cross
liner, Rosalind, attracted by the
