HARBOR GRACE CONFIDENT.
Believed to Have Been Forced to Fly
Above Rain.

~AOSfS
HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland,
August 26 (P).-From the vast Atlantic
came no word today of the Green
Mountain Boy, but there was confidence
the big plane bearing Clyde Lee of
Oshkosh, Wis, and John Bochkon of
Brooklyn was nearing Oslo, Norway, Its

When the flyers hoped yesterday

ard time) on the second leg of their
journey from Barre, VT, toward the
land of the Vikings, they said they
hoped to make it in 30 hours. That
would put them in Oslo shortly after
IL am. today.
Some slight anxiety was felt because
no vessel reported sighting the plane,
although 1t was presumably flying in
the path of many ships, but it was
believed possible the flyers might have
climbed high to avoid rainstorm they
expected to meet 600 miles off New
foundland and thus would not be easy
to sight.
Should Be Over Europe.
Flying the great circle, the red mono
plane, according to its plotted course
and estimated speed, should have hit
the Irish coast near Galway at about
IL o'clock last night The airmen plan
ned to fly over Dublin. Southern Eng
land and Cuxhaven, Germany, before
coming down at KELLER Field, Oslo.
Galway is on the West Coast of Ire
land and about 1900 miles from Har-
Dor Grace.
Flying at night over Ireland, Lee and
Bouchkon would not stand much
chance of being sighted. Several fly
ing expeditions have made the last
stages of an Atlantic crossing at night
and have been unreported until their
safe arrival.
Allowed Margin for Safety.
The airmen had allowed a comfort
able margin for safety in their tanks.
They carried enough fuel for 81 hours
flying. They were also prepared for
sea landing. The planes doors were
sealed to make room for extra gas
tanks and hole was cut through the
roof as an emergency exit. In the
event of sea landing, it was hoped
to cut the motor away so the empty
tanks could keep the craft afioat.
Lee Is "a years old and has had ex-
tensive experience as a transformer.
Bochkon is 90 and a former member Of
the Norwegian Flying Corps.

their aspirations.
There were low-lying clouds and some
log over the water to Great Britain
from noon on and because of those con-

tabulated by the u. 8. Bureau Of
Dairy Industry.
The summary divides the cows
into groups according to their milk
yields. Cows in the group giving
1000 pounds of milk a year cost
$31 to feed and returned Sc over
feed cost. Cows in the 4,00O-pound
group cost $50 to feed and return
ed $27 over feed.
As milk production increased
from group to group there was a
steady increase in cost of feed, but
a much more rapid increase in in
come over cost Of feed. Cows pro,
ducing $4,000 pounds of milk re-
turned $S7 over feed cost, or IA
times as much as the ,O00-pound
cows. In other words, when pro-
duction was multiplied by 6, the
income was multiplied by IA. One
COW producing 1000 pounds, re-
turned as much over feed costs as
IA cows producing 1000 pounds
each, to say nothing about the diff

does not reveal proof of the Oft

the heavy milk producer will have
a low fat percentage. The dairy
man who bases his selection solely
on this belief is very apt to meet
unsatisfactory and discouraging re-
suits.

ARE WE LAWLESS?

We hear lot about lawlessness in
America, and it is true that we are lawless in
one sense of the word. That is, there is
more disregard of law in this country, per-
haps, than in any other on the globe.
However, if we define lawless to mean
being without laws, we are certainly any,
thing else but. We live under many thous-
ands of laws and ordinances, most of which
the average citizen never heard of. A state
ment by T. R. Preston, former president of
the American Bankers Association will illus
trate this. He said:
ut would take man working eight
hours day seven years to read all the laws
enacted last year, yet ignorance of the law is
no excuse. Courts are so congested that the
district attorney of New York estimates that
if every defendant should demand jury
trial. the calendars would be 500 years be-
hind in four years. Americans will go to war
and give their life's blood for liberty, and
then turn around and enact laws depriving
themselves of all iverty."

POLITICS ENTERS THE STATE
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

Early Saturday Gov. Floyd Olson sent
a letter to Highway Commissioner c. M.
Babcock demanding his resignation, setting
Dec. 81 the date of his retirement
Thus one of the outstanding highway
builders in the United States, and the world,
has been compelled to step aside to make
room for political aid of Gov. Olson.
The present splendid system of high
ways which Minnesota has today is monu-
ment to the vision and efficiency of Mr.
Babcock. Since the enactment of Highway
Amendment No. in 1919, Mr.. Babcock has
expended many millions of state and federal
funds building up a splendid system which
extends to even the remotest corners of the
state. The hundreds of employees have been
selected because OF their efficiency rather
than for their political astuteness. There
never has been breath of scandal in connec-
ton with this department.
Gov. Olson is beset with demands for
places at the public pie counter and he may
figure that the highway department and
state highway patrol are places where he can
dump large number of men.
Sank Centre has worked closely with Mr.
Babcock for a number of years. His ability
and sincerity of purpose is recognized by the
people of this community.
His successor may be an able engineer
but he will have hard job endeavoring to
fill the shoes of Mr.. Babcock.
Generally speaking the Herald editor is
in accord with the sentiment ''to the victor
belongs the spoils," in politics. However,
we were never sold on the idea to the extent
that public service should be hampered
Mr.. Babcock will retire from public Of
flee with the assurance that he has the best
wishes of great majority of people of this
great state.

Bulletins sent out by the Univer-
slty Department of Agriculture in
clude reports on results of expert
ment station work on the one hand
and extension service bulletins on
the other. Most of the bulletins
are of very practical help to farm
ers, or homemakers, though some
are rather technical. But even the
technical bulletins are designed to
aid in scientific work which in the
end will lead to results of benefit to
farm people.
The practical nature of the bull
letins is shown by a brief list of
those for which there has been
large demand through the mails
during the year: Feeding the

Mammals of Minnesota" Judging
Dairy Cattle" Reed Canary

HOnOrs for Indian Girl in
All Project


Batise Gahbow, 16-year-old In
dian girl from the Mile Laos In
dian School at Onamia, Mimi, for
her work as a All garden club
member was honored by being
made one of a group of 30 All
club members who were guests of
the Minnesota State horticultural
Society at it's annual meeting in
Minneapolis, Nov. % to 80.
This honor was not the first All
achievement of Batise's. In 1880,
she was the winner in a pig club
at Onamia and was awarded a trip
to the Junior Livestock Show at
South st. Paul that fall. Her pig
sold at auction at the show for %
cents pound, and was later re-
turned, dressed to Onamia for dis
tribution among the Indians.
Batise again entered the pig club
in 1881, but with stronger COMPETE
ton was not winner. The same
year she entered the garden club,
and while she won no honors she
developed an outstanding garden,
according to J. w. Kaufman, In
dian extension agent, and as a re-
suit of her work canning was done
for the first time in the Gahbow
home
In addition to All club work,
Batise is active as a Girl Scout, and
keeps herself occupied making
birchbark baskets and other In
dian craft articles for sale by the
roadside in summer and at the In
dian trading post in winter.
Batise says she would like to join
garden pib and poultry clubs for
the coming years.

EX-PRESIDENTS' JOBS

1t is natural that many are specializing
on what President Hoover will do when he
leaves the presidency next March. Without
venturing guess on the subject, it may be
interesting to mention what few other ex-
presidents did after leaving the White House.
Washington returned to his large Vir-
ginia plantation; Adams served as member
of Massachusetts, constitutional conven-
ton when he was IS years old; Jefferson
founded the University of Virginia and de-
signed some of it's early buildings.
John Quincy Adams served as a Con-
gresham from Massachusetts,, while John
Tyler espoused the Confederate cause and
was member of the provisional Congress of
the Confederate states. Andrew Johnson
became United States Senator from Ten
neSSee.
Grant became partner in a banking
and brokerage firm which failed, but he left
his family in comfortable circumstances
through the writing of his memoirs, complet-
ed only four days before his death from
cancer.
The two ex-presidents whose lives afteI
leaving the highest office afford the most
striking contrast were Taft and Monroe
Taft served nearly 10 years as Chief Justice,
an office almost equal in dignity to the pres.
idency itself; while Monroe, who was a poor
man, was content to serve for several year,
in the humble capacity of justice of tn.
peace in his home county in Virginia.

Commenting on this Mr.. Baker notes
that among all farm animals the hog and
dairy cow produce the most human food
per unit of feed consumed, hence the trend
of the national appetite toward these pro-
ducts is in the interest of true economy.
A slight increase in the consumption
per capita of poultry products has occurred
since the war, which places that industry
also in relatively favorable position among
the food producing activities of the country.
All of which indicates that the COW, the
sow and the hen should be included in every
farmers program of production.
