KENTUCKY BOY TESTS
WORLD CHAMPION COW
Wins International Fame At Fifteen
YEARS

Naturally, 1 am the happiest boy
in the world" declared young Hilsor
Guier, of Pennington, Kentucky
when he received the official figures
which showed that his Jersey COW
had broken the world record for pro-
duction in her class.
Two years ago Hilson was just one
! of the hundreds of thirteen-year-old
boys attending public school in Wes-
tern Kentucky. Showing and pushing
in line, tripping the fellers as they
marched up to the teachers desk,
loyal to his gang in its strenuous -ac-
tivities and giving praise in ear
splitting yells for every holiday, Hill
son was just one of the reasons why
teachers favor the five-day week.
Then County Agricultural Agent p.
H. Wilson, started a dairy calf club
for boys and girls in Galloway Coun-
ty and Hilson became one of the 49,
asa members of such clubs sponsored
throughout the nation by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Now, at fifteen, Hilson Guier is the
only calf club boy in the United
States to own and officially test a
world champion COW. The calf which
he purchased two years ago with his
first $3.50 in savings has finished her
test and she is the highest produc-
ing senior three-year-old Jersey on
record, tested for 3O5 days. Proud
Princes May, his cow, produced
784.O4 lbs. of butterfat and 1854 lbs.
of milk in her official 905-day test.
It's a man-size job to do official
production testing. The daily weigh
ing of the milk, the record keeping,
the attention to feeding, and the
necessity of sticking to this routine
day after day might well deter any
school boy. Yet, inexperienced as he
was, Hilson Guier, calf club boy, now
in first year high school, was able to
set new standard for the world
with his one Jersey COW. There was
no record of high performance in the
pedigree of Proud Princes May;
there was no certain reward for the
job he had started, but he stuck to
it. He had confidence in the heifer
Milford chronicle., 1929-01-04

he had purchased, but he did no,
dream that his COW would break q
worlds record under the most ordi-
! nary farm conditions.
In the second month of her test
Proud Princes May produced 1888
lbs. of butterfat, a yield more than
half the average yearly production
per cow in the United States. In the
fifth month Mays total was 93.07 lbs.
of butterfat, and the public began to
realize that a world record was be-
ing broken by an unknown COW I'm
der the care of lively school boy.
Then the Guier farm became mec-
ca for lovers of good dairy cattle.
At the end of 305 days when the
entire test had been officially check
ed by the supervisors and accepted
by the American Jersey Cattle Club,
the national organization of Jersey
breeders, this Kentucky boy knew
that his $3.50 calf heifer had become
the highest producing Jersey in the
world in her age class. By virtue of
the accomplishment of his COW, Hill
son Guier has earned a place among
the most renowned cattlemen of the
day.

MJORUD MAKING GOOD IN
 CREW

U. of Washington, Seattle, Dec. 16. Especial to The Alaskan) - Herbert MjOrud, the big young ster from Petersburg, now 8 freshman at the University, rates as about the best looking oarsman on the Husky freshman squad here this year. He has been in the first boat every night since the beginning of the turnout in October, and in build has everything that a good oars man needs, carrying about 175 pounds on 8 siX-foot frame. He $ learning technique fast and is already one of the smoothest oarsmen in the boat.
 Mjorud stands a good chance to win his numerals next spring, and he undoubtedly will row in the race against California on Lake Washington next April if he keeps up his good work.

Discovery Of vitamine
Vital to Human Race

The greatest discoveries of bene-
1t to the human race have been
the result of accident. Columbus.
seeking for short cut to India,
stumbled on America. Perkin,
searching for a means of produc-
ing artificial quinine, hit upon ami
line dyes. When Japan and Rus
STA were in the throes of death
struggle for supremacy, Japan's
navy was being decimated by bert-
beri. Laboring to find preventa-
tive for the disease, that was MAX
ing the Japanese panic-stricken,
some one remembered that Dutch
scientist discovered in 1897 that
pigeons fed on polished rice de-
veloped disease which had all the
characteristics of beri-berf. Orders
were issued forthwith to stop feed
ing the sailors with polished rice
and to substitute the whole grain;
promptly and without delay, the
beri-beri disappeared. Scientists.
in their efforts to discover the
"why," as famous author ex-
pressed it, found the missing link
that binds food to health, happi-
ness and achievement-they came
upon the vitamine. 1t was this
discovery that enables the human
family to keep from starving on q
full stomach.

SENATOR NYE MAKES FIRST PAGE

The Governor of Pennsylvania un-
doubtedly had constitutional right to name
the notorious lobbyist, Joseph Grundy, as
United States Senator to fill the vacancy in
his state created by the denial of seat to
Mr.. Ware by the Senate body. Nevertheless
the Herald believes it was mighty poor taste
and the selection cannot but help weaken
the Republican party throughout the nation.
If there was any doubt in the mind of
Governor Fisher as to who he would name
as Senator from Pennsylvania it was cleared
up when Senator Nye, of North Dakota, in
troduced resolution in the Senate attacking
Grundy and severely criticising Gov. Fisher
Nye's resolution was childish and fool
ish and of course will not accomplish any
thing save and except it gave Nye a first
page position in the daily newspapers. Per-
haps Nye figured that this publicity would
impress upon his constituents that he was
a helluva of Senator, always alert to the
best interests of the country even though
what he attempted was, after all, none of his
business.

Ancient Surgical Tools
Like Those Now in Use

Surgeons of 1000 years ago used
instruments similar in shape to
those of today. This was shown
by probes and forceps uncovered
in the buried city of POmpeii. and
recently exhibited in London. The
large number of probes in COM
parison to other instruments Of the
collection suggests that cutting
was a large part of surgical work
before the year 70, when the erup-
ton of Vesuvius buried the city.
While the shapes of the instru-
ments In some cases are almost
identical with those of the modern
surgical tools, their steel Is less
flexible. The absence of saws
from the collection indicates am
putations were rarely attempted,
largely because of lack of knOwl-
edge about circulation of the blood,
says Popular Science Monthly.
Surgery is known to have been
practiced at an early date. When
Alexander the Great invaded lands
east of the Mediterranean in 300
B. c., he found It being practiced
by the natives with great skill.
There is evidence that surgery was
in use in Egypt as early as 5000 or
5000 B. c.

Iystems already seriously oyerstrained.

systems already seriously overstrained.
Editors of newspapers in Miunesota and
elsewhere have jointly put forth page adj
vertisement urging the Senate to pass the
tariff measure with 'its splendid new farm
rate schedule" Senator Norris demands
that the lobby investigating committee of
the Senate summon more than 100 of the
editors and compel them to say who paid
the bill. Senator Schal talks darkly of sim
lister influences controlling the rural press of
his state.
Somewhat steadier of nerve and having
deal more inside knowledge Of the ways of
country editors, Senator Allen, of Kansas,
has sought to sooth the ruffled feelings of
his colleagues with cool and kindly words.
He has private information he told the Sem
ate, that the editors and publishers of the
papers in question by common agreement
had themselves paid for the advertisement.
This, of course, is heresy. Every politician
knows that when his pet idea is opposed
by large sections of the public it is prinna-
facie facie evidence Of a fraud perpetrat-
ed upon innocent persons by malign and sim
lister interests.
Whether the country editors themselves or
somebody else for them has started to build a
fire under the Senate in regard to tariff Leg
islation is of less fact that the fire is begin
ming to get hot. It must be apparent to any
body who knows anything about the temper
of the public mind that the country would
eventually lose patience with Senatorial
shilly-shalying on the tariff.
The important consideration is not who
paid for the advertisement but whether what
it says is true and reflects the opinion in
communities served by the newspapers in
which it was published In substance it is
general Endorsement of President Hoover's
stand in regard to the tariff as contrasted
with the attitude of the Democratic-Insurgent
coalition. It cites the dual nature of the
Presidents program for farm relief and tar
iff adjustment. It argues that part of this
has been carried through successfully in re-
spect of legislation for farm relief; it urges
the Senate to hasten the passage of tariff
bill so that the program can be rounded out.
The advertisement says a good word for
industry, too. It sets forth what every intel
ligent person ought to know-that the bust
ness structure of the nation has been adjust
ed to the protective system, that the indus
rial laborer must be prosperous if the farmer
is to prosper because the laborer is the
farmers best customer. IT is this which
doubtless damns the document in the eyes of
the extremist Senators.
What the coutry editors of Minnesota are
saying is in harmony with the sentiment of
editors and others in all parts of the nation.
It is not to be put out of consideration
merely because supersensitive Senators be-
gin shrieking about lobbyists and propa-
ganda.

THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT

Public health authorities estimate that
the actual loss caused by rats in the United
States amounts to $4OO,OO0,OOO year, of
which about one-haf is in foodstuffs and the
rest in the destruction of other property.
The number of rats engaged in these
depredations is estimated at 120,OO0OOO or
about equal to the country's human popula-
ton.
Besides the destructiveness of the rat is
it's constant menace to health through the
transmission of disease, especially bubonic
plague, which is spread entirely by fleas
which infest infected rats. While the disease
has been held in check in countries employ
ing preventive measures, bubonic plague kill
ed more than II, 100000 people in India dur
ing 20-year period.
The Public Health Service declares that
if the extraordinarily prolific breeding of
rats were not partially controlled by natural
enemies, disease and the cannibalistic ten
denotes of the animal itself, they would soon
overrun the world and exterminate man by
depriving him of his sources of food
Like many other ever-present menaces
to property and health, the rat appears to
be taken for granted, and seldom is any
concerted effort made with view to it's ex-
termination.

NORRIS HAS HAD CHANGE OF HEART

The advertisement published in the
Washington Post Tuesday, Dec. 10, and paid
for by large group of rural editors of Min
nesota, is causing nationwide editorial COM
ment
Early in the special session of Congress
Senator Borah, of Idaho, introduced reso-
luton in the United States Senate providing
that the revision of the tariff schedules be
confined to the agricultural schedules
The Senate's loud-speaker, Senator Nor
ris, of Nebraska, supported the resolution
which was defeated by the votes of the SEN
ators of the Industrial East.
President HOover's recommendation to
the Congress in his message at the opening
of the Special session last April asked for
this very thing. The rural newspapers in
their advertisement asked Congress to give
agriculture what it wanted and leave the in
dustrial schedules practically as they exist
under the tariff act of 1922-in line with Mr..
Hoover's recommendations
Norris having changed his view point.
apparently is working hand in glove with
the Democratic wing to prevent any tariff
legislation. He did not support Mr.. Hoover
In the last election and is leaving no stone
unturned to make his administrative path as
rough as possible.
Under the circumstances it is not at all
strange that he should have fit over the
advertisement of the Minnesota rural ed
itors, and charge "Grundyism."
In discussing the rural editors plea for
tariff legislation the New York Sun of Dec.
IL, said editorially:
