Encourage Drinking

Cows having access to water at will
produced 5 per cent more than when
watered once day. This result was
obtained from average cows on the
federal dairy farm, Beltsville, Mary
land. The higher the production, the
greater the benefit of frequent water
ing.
Cows require so per cent more wa
ter in hot than in cold weather. The
use of large quantities of beets re-
duces the amount of water required.
In cold weather cows prefer water
that has been warmed and will drink
more of IT..

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-With two
United States war vessels reported
chasing alleged Mexican gun run.
ners of the Nicaraguan coast, the
Administration anxiously waited to-
day to see whether Mexico and
the United States will be brought to
an open break over the Central
American revolution.
After lengthy statements author
lied by President Coolidge and Sec
retary Of State Kellogg defending
American occupation and alleged in.
tervention in favor Of the Nicara-
gian Conservative regime, officials
believe the congressional opposition
led by Senator Borah, chairman of
the Foreign Relations/ Committee,
cannot force a change in policy.
Officials think the fifteen United
States, war vessels ard 4.200 Blue
Jackets and Marines now in or en-
route to Nicaragua will frighten the
rebels and their alleged Mexican sup
porters and end the revolution. Of
f1cials admit, however, that If gun
runners or rebels fire upon United
States forces, the fire will be re-
turned, and then almost anything
may happen.

Records of City Purchasing Agent
John j. Collins disclose that on Aug.
! the city accepted the bid of w.
Todd Young's company for 100 tons
Of Kentucky rock asphalt at $l4.O9
a ton.
Records show that bid of $12.O9
a ton by the Kentucky Rock Asphalt
Company was withdrawn. Collins
did not permit the reporter to closely
examine this bid, so the signature
on the bid was not ascertained.
Charles j. Hubbard, sales representa-
tive of this company, said he knew
OF no one representing his company
having been authorized to file a bid
and then withdraw. He said it would
be possible for his company to sup
ply the city with Kyrock, its prod
uct, at price lower than given Todd
Young's concern.
County Pays Less
The purchasing agents records
show another bid of $12.O9 a ton by
the National Rock Asphalt Corpora
tion, but George Schmidt, then city
Gill engineer. advised that this prod
uct did not meet city specifications.
Contrasting with the city bid Of
$14.09, the county commissioners on
March 10 bought Kentucky rock as
phalt from Youngs concern for
$11.65 a ton. Commissioners rec.
ords show a check for $3,315.59 was
paid to the firm and three car loads
purchased late in June to build a
road near the Speedway, according
