grain can be planted following their

Dairy cows will make a pound of
milk from suitable feeds which
provide the animal with about 8
pounds of total digestible nutrients.
Improved permanent pasture will
provide nutrients enough to make
100 pounds of milk at a feed cost
of 25 cents, but 100 pounds of milk
will cost 1925 if made from grain
which costs 1925 hundredweight.
Ohio improved pastures which
produce forage enough so cows can
make $500 pounds of milk while
grazing an acre of ground give the
dairyman a return above the cost
of milking and marketing of about
$40 per acre. That rate of return
compares very favorably with re-
turns obtained from raising cash
grain crops. Lime and fertilizers
put the pasture in shape for heavy
forage production.

Lotteries, like certain forms of gambling, have had an up and down history They were given wide support even by the clergy, for generations, until legal red tape and repression set in |. The U. s. in the first two hundred years of our history used lotteries for the raising of much public revenue. They were run for the benefit of schools, hospitals, churches and public works, until the Federal Government passed a national anti lottery bill, the first and only Fed eral law against gambling, which set off a wave of State laws against 1t But lotteries have been responsible for raising funds by which many famous buildings have been erected, New York's ity Hall being an example The only State in the Union which ever legalized general gambling was Me- vada. They did so in '29 to bolster State revenues.

Rv United Pressl

A new WaLNout hlt tne AalHl equipment industry today, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen threatened to strike on the Rock Island railroad.

 J, A, Coleman, chairman of the general grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, said 2,500 workers have voted to strike on the Rock Island railroad at 6 D. m. Wednesday. The strike may be delayed for at least 30 days, however, by the appointment of a Presidential fact-f1nding board.
 Other Labor Developments
 1. The executive board of the CI.O. United Auto Workers Union was in Chicago for a meeting which may determine to what extent the board will back the policies of the unions new president, Walter Reuther.

 3. Deputies patrolled the streets of Butte, Mont, where mobs wrecked IA homes "to show sym pathy" for striking C.IO. copper miners.

Gripe Farley Of Democrats Set tomorrow
 PosipOnement Until
 After Easter Not
 Probable Now

Washington, April 16-(UP)-Re- bellious House Democrats rejected pleas of party leaders today and refused to put off their scheduled protest meeting against tactics of the Democratic National Commit tee.
 Rep. Lyle H. Boren, O., okla.), leader of the revolt, told reporters that a majority of the angry Dem ocrats would fight against any de- lay in the party caucus scheduled tomorrow night.
 Chairman Patrick H. Drewry, O., Va), of the Democratic Con- gressional Campaign Committee and other party leaders had sug- gested postponing the gripe session until after Easter, apparently in hopes that tempers would cool in the interim.
 Showdown Demanded
 Boren and 49 other Democrats, mostly Southerners, demanded the meeting to press for a showdown on their complaints against the national committee and its chair man, Robert E. Hannegan. They were aroused by recent party pulp lications which they considered as slurs on their records in Congress.
 Boren, it was learned, will ask the caucus to approve a formal resolution directing the National Committee to confine its activities to the proper field. It will say that:
 1.-The committees paramount duty is to elect Democrats to of- fice-not to try to knock off Con- gressmen it doesn't like.
 2.-Any employe or official of the committee who urges the defeat of any incumbent Democrat or the election of any member of another party should be discharged.
 Hannegan Absent
 The resolution will direct the committee to adopt these two prin- ciples as a permanent policy. Al- though the ire of the dissident Democrats was directed at first against Hannegan personally, Bor- ems resolution will not mention him by name.
 Hannegan, who has been in Ari- zona for the last few weeks, was reported due in Washington in time for the caucus. He will not be present at the meeting, since attendance is limited to Congress. ional Democrats.

 The resignation of Eleanor M. O'Rourke, stenographer, was accept- ed.
 The name of Jean Anne O'Rourke was placed on the graduate waiting list. She received B,S. degree from the State Teachers College at New Britain, Dec. l6.
 The board discussed briefly a pro- posal to meet at various school buildings instead of at Crosby for the semi-monthly sessions, and re- ferred the matter to the rules com- mittee. The rules committee also was asked to take action on the school retirement policy.
 Temporary Change
 The grammar school hours on April 25 were changed from 8:l5 a. m. to 12:l5 p. rn., to permit teach CTS to attend a demonstration of modern reading techniques at Dug gan School.

Pupils of the first, fourth, and sixth grades at Duggan will take part in the demonstration.
 The board granted permission to Carolyn Robison of Prospect Road to attend Bunker Hill School, grade 4, instead of East Mountain School for the remainder of the school year. The question was raised as to whether or not the move would be in violation of the boards rules, but 1t was pointed out that only about eight weeks of school remain. The childs family recently moved from the Bunker Hill sectiorf it was pointed out.
