Bid $50: Got $500 Worth.

BILLINGS, March 17.-(U.P.)-
Curiosity, more than any other hu-
man motive, impelled Harold Berry
man to offer modest bid for two
barrels Of "unsighted and unseen"
household articles and the spirited
competition of public auction moved
him to carry on until his $50 bid won
the questionable prize.
Hall ashamed of himself for spend
ing hard earned money so foolishly,
he Iugged away his new possessions.
Today, however, the matter has an
entirely different aspect. When he
opened the barrels he discovered they
contained coined silver, plates and
fragile china worth at least $500.
They had been left in the barrel for
years and the auctioneer had failed
to determine their actual value.

cost of production. Low production
costs are always important but never
more so than at times when butter
prices are down.
The publicity given to manufactur-
ing and marketing, particularly the
latter, has the effect Of detrActing
attention from this question of pro-
duction costs. Seldom is more than
passing notice given to herd improve
ment work by the public press and
many farm organizations, but, for
tunately agricultural college extern
sion men and cow testing associa-
tons are still carrying on, quietly
and effectively.
Some idea Of how much more i'm
portant lower cost Of production is
to the farmer than some of these
other factors which are being given
so much more attention may be
CLEANED from table prepared recent
ly by Mr.. Ramer Leighton Of the
Agricultural Department of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, based upon data
received from rs Minnesota COW test
L ing associations. Cows were sorted &C
cording to production, actual feed
costs taken for all cows in each group
average, and butterfat priced at Soc
and Acc pound, respectively. Here
are some of the interesting facts:
At SOC per pound for butterfat,
cows producing 100 pounds on the
average had an average feed cost
of $37, an average return over feed
of $13, and paid the farmer wage
of 7c per hour based on ITO hours
annual work per COW. On the same
basis, a compound cow had feed
cost of $46, a return over the feed
Of $54, and paid &c per hour wage.
Turning to the 300-pound COW, we
find a feed cost of $58 return over
feed of $92, and an average hourly
wage of 54c, while 400-pound COW
had q ST. feed cost, paid a return
over feed Of 1929, and an hourly
wage OF Toe. Coming up to the 500
pound cow there was feed cost OF
$50, a return over feed of $161, and
wage per hour of 95c.
Putting these facts in another way
it took n 100-pound cows to return
the farmer $1,000 over feed cost
while it took only is 20O-pound
cows to return him that figure. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Leighton found that II
300-pound cows, eight 400-pound cows
and only six 5O0-pound cows were
needed to return this same 81 900 over
feed cost.
Even more striking is the situa-
ton when butterfat falls to 40c pei
pound. At that figure it takes 33a
1OO-pound cows to return 81 600 over
feed cost, and less than one-tenth Of
that number, 80 to be exact, to bring
the same return if 20O-pound COWS
are MIXED. If the cow produces BOZ
pounds of fat, the figure again is
nearly halved, for is such animals
will make the $1,000 return over feec
cost. The margin falls as the produc.
ton increases but it is interesting tt
note that eleven 400-pound cows ant
nine 600-pound COWS will do as we'll al
the 33 1W-pound cows.
u course, 1OO-pound cows are moi
very common, but that there is room
for great improvement is indicated BY
the fact that Mr.. Leighton's estimate

bathed her eyes with cold water. 1t
eased their singing.
Finally the girl turned out the
light and crept into bed. She lay
in the darkness for several minutes.
Then she got up again, snapped
on the light and went to her desk,
futnbling through a drawer of
papers. She found what she sought
and returned to bed.
An hour later Celia dropped to
sleep. Beneath her cheek, damp
with tears, was the birthday letter
from her mother.
She telephoned Evelyn Parsons
at 1920 the next morning. Rose
said her mistress was having break
fast.
"Will you tell her it's Miss Mitch
ell calling?" Celia persisted. "Tell
her I want to speak to her. It's
important"
In few moments Evelyn's dulcet
tones came back over the wire.
''Why, Celia, dear, good morningl
How're you feeling after the party?"
Celia swallowed. Then she said:
Good morning! I'm-oh, I'm all
right, thank you. Mrs. Parsons, I
want to see you. II want to talk
to you about something. Could I
come over right away?"
why, child-your voice sounds
as though something were the mat
ter. OF course, come alongl"
INELIA stopped just long enough
~ to tell her grandmother she
was going to call on Mrs. Parsons,
and to wait for Thompson to bring
the car around.
She reached Evelyn's fashionable
apartment, stepped into the elevator
and a minute later Rose was usher
ing her into Mrs. Parsons boudoir.
"Darling!' You've been crying!"
The older womans sympathetic
tone broke down barriers of re-
straint. Celia told her all that had
happened. Would Mrs. Parsons
tell her how she could ever gain her
fathers respect again? How could
she ever undo this tangle?
Evelyn comforted her. She de-
clared that she herself would talk
to John Mitchell. Celia was not to
worry. Everything would right
itself.
AS for never seeing Tod Jordan
again, that was nonsensel She
would tell Mitchell what a fine
young man Jordan was.
The girl returned home, feeling
her burdens lightened. When she
saw her father that evening he was
cordial as usual. Celia began to
believe her clouds were banished.
And then Friday morning she
went again with her grandmother
to Charlotte's shop.
Mrs. Mitchell had decided she
needed a new tea gown. She stood
on the fitting block as a seamstress
smoothed down folds of lavender
crepe. The seamstress dropped her
ball Of pins. 1t rolled within an
inch of Celia's toe.
LET me get it for ycu!" the girl
said. She picked up the object and
returned it smiling.
Her grandmother stiffened. She
made no comment until they were
in the car again. Then she said:
Cecilia, your conduc| speaking to
that sewing woman Was outrageous.
Don't you know you can't treat
tradespeople as equals?"
Il didn't" the girl began.
