Racine, visa big handful of

sufficient force at the broadside OF

results, decided a gang of boys
here when practiciDg combina-
ton of baseball pitching and fu-
turist painting at the corner of
Jackson street and Douglas avenue.
A little later the scene changed
to one of feverish industry as tile
boys scrubbed and mopped away all
evidences of their handiwork.
The transformation of idle enjoy
ment to heartbreaking labor might
be laid to the advent of two police
men who happened to appear when
the mud throwing was at its height.
They suggested to the boys that it
might be wise to erase the nice
white walls or else take ride in
the police wagon.
Shortcuts home were taken and
members of the gang soon reap
peared with scrub brushes, ladders
and pals. The work of dirt Grad

the critical supervision of the two
policemen who, in some instances.
made the boys go over the walls
twice before official approval was
granted.
Owners of the two buildings, who
were surprised at the sparkling
cleanliness of the walls, when in
formed of the free work they had
procured, said they would furnish
the boys a recommendation as eA-

Three Types OF
Cattle From
Three Nations

Isn't it odd that three national
tiles of people should have develop
ed three types of cattle each OF
which is quite typical of the rate
that bred it! Says William Ather-
ton Du Puy. '''='
There is the familiar Holstein
COW, for instance, native of the low
countries of western Europe. She
| is Dutch. The Dutch have bred
her for hundreds of years. They
have thought only of milk in guam
tity. The Holstein COW gives more
milk than any other cow in THE
world. But it is not of very good
quality. The Holstein COW is ang-
ular and wedge shaped. There is
little meat on her frame. She is
! the result of the Dutch idea of get
ting large quantities of milk.
Then there is the Jersey COW.
! She comes from the island of Jer-
sey, between France and England.
The people of Jersey are more
French than English. They got
their live stock from France. Their
] idea was a quality cow. They
bred for richness of milk. They
wanted a small but high class ami
NAL Their idea was class and
refinement in their cattle. For
generations they forbade the. i'm
portation of any bovine creature.
The Jersey is famous around the
world as the best quality mich COW
ever produced.
Across the channel was the Brit
ishier, beef eater. On the River
Teese in northern England 200
years ago there began to take form
the Tees-water cattle, later called
the Durhams and still later the
/ Shorthorns. The Englishman
thought somewhat of milk, but pri-
I lily VI DCGls IIC III GU at dJlI-
NAL that had a master form on
which to hang meat 1t was wide
across the rump. It's hams were
bulky. It's body had more of the
wedge shape of the Holstein. If
was rectangular. It's proportions
were like those of a brick stock on
edge. 1t was the master meat an
imal.
These three types of cattle are
now found all around the world
Everybody knows them. Each is
a demonstration of the, possibilities
that lie in selective breeding. Each
typifies the ideal in the mini of q
| people. Each is a racial master
piece passed on to all peoples.
