GIRLS. HERES YOUR CHANCE

A letter in Free Air asks with all
the excitement about discharging
married women, why doesn't some
one hit the nail on the head and dis
miss all unmarried men? Does the
writer not know nine out of 10 un-
married men are single because the
girl they want for life pal is too
independent, making her own living
with better paying job than most
married men can have in the cities.
That is true in most unmarried mems
cases. 1t matters not IL he own a
thousand acre ranch and don't
smoke cigarettes, the job holding in
dependent girls care not for him.

MAINTAIN EFFICIENT DAIRY
PRODUCTION MACHINERY
By Prof. w. B. Krueck


Every year many dairy cows go
into the stables in the fall and
winter in low condition. Cattle that
are stabbed in the fall in poor flesh
usually require more feed during
the winter months and do not pro-
duce nearly as well as if the body
condition had been maintained dur
ing the summer while out on pas
ture.
The fact that COWS always re-
spOnd with an increase flow in milk
production when placed upon pas
ture in the spring has led many
dairymen into difficulties in the fall
and winter months. The palatability
of early spring grass appealing to
the appetite of the COW, in a great
many cases has caused her to ig-
more her grain ration for some time
and consequently the dairyman be-
comes discouraged and offers her
nothing but grass.
Good dairymen always find that a
cow will come back and consume
ton or the grains and the protein
after they have been on pasture for
a short time. There probably are
two reasons for this. First of all,
the palatability of the spring grass
has disappeared and the ration is no
longer new to her. Secondly, the
grass becomes tougher, the fiber
content increases and the COW is
needing additional nutrients to
maintain her body condition.
In many cases where cattle were |
turned upon pasture extremely ear
ly, at present they are furnished |
nothing more than a gymnasium,
because all the grass is gone. Every |
day one can see cattle grazing upon !
tramped, burned pasture that is
providing very little in the way of |
nutrition for the animal, conse-
quently the animal body is becom-
ing lowered in it's efficiency.
The protein content of summer
ration need not be extremely high.
A 1879 protein mixture for a dairy
ration is sufficiently high for sum-
mer feeding. The amount fed may
have to be increased as the season
depending lot upon the
conditions which have a
great deal to do with influencing
our pasture. Dairymen who consis-
tently practice summer feeding al
ways seem to be among those who
are most successful financially in
he dairy business.

Robert L. Sengle Makes That Pledge to the Powers That Be - Presidential Year Has No TerrOrs for This Dry EnfOrcer
Enthuses Over Record He and His Agents Have Made in the State Dur- ing Past Twelve Months Expects to Make Conn a Sahara

Another year of intensive en- forcement of the prohibition act in Connecticut is the pledge of Robert L. Sengle. deputy prohibi- ton administrator of the state, in a telegram to Colonel A. w. w. Woodcoek, national leader of fel- eral dry agents. The telegram vas sent to Washington. D. C., in re-, sponse to a radiogram sent to all state administrators asking for continued cooperation and greater enforcement in face of greater difficulties. Attorney Sengle has promised that the Connecticut staff will do it's best to command respect for the 18th amendment andTpoints to the record of his agents for the past year to prove that this state is doing it's bit.
 The pledge of MT Sengle is sad news to hundreds of the boys throughout the state.. particularly in Waterbury, where frequent ar rests and heavy fines have been ill order for many months. No.with- standing the fact that it is election year and that both national parties are seeking the support of the "wet" element. Attorney Senglc declares that. there will be no letu.l in the drive against offenders.

Government Paying
 High For Political
 Speeches In Record
$2,OOO a Day Paid Out to Print Those Speeches in Congressional Record Everything Goes Into It-Three of Hoover Cabinet Members Are on the List
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER Copyright, 1882, by United Prcss)

Washington, July 16 - (UP) - It's costing s2.000 a day to the Con- gressional Record during the final rush to get political propaganda printed at government expense.
 About 35 pages in each issue of the Congressional Record are now given over to reprinting outside speeches, letters to and from con stituents, addresses by eminent citizens and small type tables on everything from war debts to the cost of Canadian bungalow siding. Most of it has no connection what ever with the proceedings of con- gress.
 Senators and congressman, by obtaining unanimous consent, can have anything printed in the Con- gressional Record - and do. In one volume of the Record can be found almost anything excep, comic strips. Illustrations are for bidden. Anything printed in the Record can be reprinted and sent out as campaign literature under the congressional franking privi- lege. Even political candidates not in congress may have their speeches inserted in the Congress sional Record and sent out from under the frank of some friendly senator or congressman.

Marietta, O., July 16-(U. P.) - An inscription found on the un- der shell of a turtle near here was scrutinized by fascinated biologists and recalled wild and adventurous days to historians. The turtle was found by Howard w. Ward. of Macksburg. Washington County, in grass he was cutting on a farm. He turned it over. Facing him were the words: ''L.
