Las t 'F r iday afternoon the case of Jacob F . Broas and Louis Broas, who were charged with assault and battery against Terry Brown, was tried in the Justice Court here, before Justice W. A. Cair. The Attorneys were K. D. Roche for the defendants and Prosecut­ing At torne/ Willis Lyons for the com­plainant. The arrests were made by Fred Teeple-of Hamburg, Deputy Sher­iff. Witnesses for the complainants wer£, Win. Eck, Harry Stole, Ed Woo-tster, Stanley Bell, Jas. Wheeler and Ray Howard. The defendants had no witnesses.

Both the complainant and the. defen­dants live on the shores of Cordley Lake about five miles from here. On the 28th day of June, the Bix witnesses, all but one living in or near Dexter, rented two boats of Mr. Bsown, and not knowing on whos portion of the lake they were on, rowfed to Jacob Broas' side of the lake and began to ft»fe. After awhile the defendant* rowed out to the boot containing the Messers Eck, Stole and Wooster and asked them ' 'who gave them permis­sion to fish on that side of the lake?" They replied t ha t , no one had, but if they were trespassing they would leave. They were given permission to fish.

Mr. Bell testified that the defendants then rowed to the boat containing Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Howard and himself and demanded fifty cents for fishing there. Mr. Bell told them to come and get it. After which a short conflict ensued in which both parties were considerably beaten up.

Mr. Brown testified that the defen­dants tken came toward his boat and he told them not to touch it. Mr. Kroas Sr. had a stick in his hand which Mr. Brown seized and pulled away from him and began to use the same upon Mr. Broas, baeaking it in several pi-ces.

•Louis Brora then struck Mr. Brown "with the oar breaking the same, and cutting Mr. Brown's hat. As the de­fendants rowed away, Louis threw the oar at Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown had both the hat and the oar as evidence.

Bo*h J. F. Broas and Louis Broas testified that the evidence given above was correct

to that usually produced from Michi­gan grown wheat. During the past three years it has yielded 30 bushels per acre on an average from all parts of the state where it is grown and the best growers averaged 40 buBhel3. It frequently yields 45 bushels per acre.

Now, if the yield in Livingston Coun­ty could be raised to average 30i)ushel9 per acre for three years instead of 16, it would mean that this year we would harvest 330,000 bushels instead of 176,-000, an increase of 154,000 bushels or more than $300,060 worth at $2.00 per bushel. The cost of fitting the land would be no greater, harvesting would be only slightly increased and returns would be practically doubled.

Why not try some of this "Red Rock" this fall, a few acres at least, as a check on the old varieties? Seeding time will soon be here, and more acres will be seeded to wheat this fall, weather permitting, than,in many.years p a s t For information regarding Red Rock Seed Wheat, write County Agri­cultural Agent, Howell, Mich.

11,000 Acres of Wheat Will be harvested in Livingston

County this season. According to*the best figures available, the average yield of wheat in Michigan for the past three years has been 16 bushels per acre. Applying this average to Living­ston County, the total harvest will amount to 176,000 bushel?.

T h e r e is a variety of wheat called ^I ted Rock" which has yielded ekiring these same three years, an average of 30 bushels per acre, This variety has been developed by the Experiment Sta­tion of the Michigan Agriculture Col­lege and has proven to be the best all around wheat for Michigan in testa with several thousand other < kinds.

Mules end Warm Springs. I t is an interesting fact that the mule

is not mentioned in the Bible until the time of David, Just at the time when the Israelites were becoming well ac­quainted with horses. The Hebrew word in Genesis nxxri, 24, translated as mules in the authorized version, is believed to have been a blunder and that the term should have been as the Vulgate has it, "warm springs."

GREECE JOINS ENTENTE ALLIES

FORMAL DECLARATION WA8 MADE IN PARIS BY GREEK

' MINISTER.

WILL MOBILIZE ARMY AT ONCE

If Munitions Are Provided for Put 300,000 Men In

Field.

WIU

Washington—Uncertainty as to Greece's status in the world war was cleared away upon the receipt of offi­cial information that the Greek gov­ernment not only has severed rela­tions with all four of the Central pow­ers, but U actually in a state of war with them.

Information has reached the state department that the Greek minister In Paris has notified the French gov­ernment Greece considers herself a full belligerent, and will act according­ly. He said it was not necessary to iBsue a formal declaration of war, as the government feels it is bound by the declarations previously issued at Saloniki by Premier Venizelos, who took with him to Athens all the re­sponsibilities and commitments of the temporary Saloniki government.

As a belligerent Greece is expected to lose no time in mobilizing her war resourced and joining effectively in the common allied operations in the Balkans. The strength of the Veni­zelos army is placed at about 60,000 men, and the remnants of the former regular army, while not over 30,000 now, has at times been mobilized to a total of 200,000 men and is capable of reaching 300,000 if munitions are provided.

% The regulars practically were de­mobilized by the Allies when former King Constantine held the organiza­tion as a threat to the Allies' rear, but can quickly be called to the colors again.

WRANGLE OVER FOOD BILL

Considerable Progress Was Made On Compromise Amendments.

Washington—A wrangle over Presi­dent Wilson's appointment of Herbert C. Hoover as food administrator took up considerable time in debates in the senate on the food control bill, but meantime considerable progress on compromise amendments was made by the leaders in bi-partisan confer­ences.

Among the agreements made at the bi-partisan conference were these:

Elimination of cotton, Bteel, wool, lumber, copper, farming implements, fertilizer, hemp, jute, sisal and various other commodities from the controlled list, leaving only food and fuel.

Retention, with some modifications, of the committee amendment, forbid­ding members of the national council of defense and advisory committees from buying for the government from concerns in which they are financially interested.

Provision of a food board of three instead of a sole food "dictator."

Modification of the licensing sec­tion, somewhat limiting the powers .of the administration as originally proposed.

The liquor question, having been disposed through the elimination of whisky, but with no prohibition of beer and light wines, was left undis­turbed by the compromise.

640 MILLION TUNE BILL PASSED

House Also Passes Bill to Take Over North Island for Aviation Purposes.

Washington—The war department bill appropriating $640,000,000 for con­struction of 22,000 airplanes was pass­ed by the house without a roll call and without a dissenting vote. It was sounded only in minor details. At the same time the senate passed the novae bill permitting the governnment to take over the whole of North Island, in the harbor of San Diego, Cal., for aviation purposes. An appropriation has bee* made of $$¢0,000, with which to refartrarse property owners.

Amendments to the aviation bin adopted by the hduse included one by ttspioeesUitlve Lenroot, of Wisconsin, tisnitins; the broad authorities granted tie* executive for the prsasnt war eaaersjomey, *ad one by Representative rtlausnlfl of New York, providing thai onHstod mam drafted for the aria-tioa corps shall be within the ages of 11 to * tftdaatve.

L, Thirty-first Michigan infan­try, who was reported dead on the Mexican border last fall and is so reg­istered on the war books, appeared in his uniform and reported for service.

REICHSTAG LABORS FOR LASTING PEACE

TEUTON CHANGES NOW DEVELOPING

* Majority of reichstag, composed, • * of centrists, radicals and Social- * * ists, adopt a peace resolution for • * introduction upon reassembling * * of that body, in which is enunci- • * ated a reaffirmation of policy, ex- * * eluding territorial addition as a • * result of war. * * Austrian reichstag Is thrown * * into an uproar by former Czech * * minister, who asserts the hate of » * the world is centering on Cer- * * many, and urges the dual mon- * * archy to withdraw from the Teu- * * tonic alliance before it is too late. * * * • * * • • * * * * * * * » « *

Copenhagen—The reichstag's pro­posed peace resolution which, accord­ing to the Berlin Tageblatt, the ma­jority bloc of the center, radicals and socialists, decided to introduce un­changed upon the reassembling of the reichstag, reads as follows:

"As on August 4, 1914, so on the threshold of the fourth year of the war, the German people stands upon the assurance of the speech from the throne—'we are driven by no lust of conquest.*

"Germany took up arms in defense of its liberty and independence and for the integrity of its territories. The reichstag labors for peace and mutual understanding and lasting re­conciliation among the nations.

"Forced acquisitions of territory and political, economic and financial vio­lations are incompatible with such peace.

"The reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economic blockade and the stirring up of enmity among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an economic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association of the peoples.

"The reichstag will energetically promote the creation of International juridical organizations.

"So long, however, as the enemy governments do not accept such a peace; so long as they threaten Ger­many and her allies with conquest and violation, the German people will stand together as one man, hold out unshak­en and fight until the rights of itself and its allies to life and development are secured. The German nation uni­ted is unconquerable.

"The reichstag knows that in this announcement, it is at one with the men who are defending the fatherland; in the heroic struggles they are sure of the undying thanks of the whole people."

Washington—A Greek mission may be sent to the United States, not only to negotiate for supplies for this army, but also to present Greece's situation as to the general world recon­struction after the war. For the pres­ent, it is probable Greece will be munitioned by Allies, who have stocks already on hand, but for the future and as far as general credits are con­cerned, it is probable the Athens gov­ernment will wish td deal direct with this country.

DETROIT MAY BUILD AIRPLANES

Secretary Daniels to Ask Congress for Money to Build Hugs Factory.

Washington—A million dollar air­plane factory for Detroit Is in the mind of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the nary. The secretary, like the -war de­partment, says he recognises the su­perior advantages of an automobile center like Detroit in the manufacture of flying machines. The secretary has not yet the means to build his factory, but says he will ask congress for the money.

It now is the navy department policy to equip the fleet with airplanes and never to send It to sea without this adjunct. This applies not alone to the battleship fleet, bat also to the light flotillas of destroyers, torpedo boats and submarine chasers. Secre­tary Daniels Is convinced that the sir-plane will be one of the most effective weapons with which to meet a sub­marine attack, and especially should submarines attempt aggressive action on this side of the Atlantic

Kansas City, Mo.—Police and militia-me% raided newly established I. W. W. headquarters here and confiscated a small arsenal of revolvers and rifles. More than 500 rounds of ammunition also was seized. A score of indus­trialists were taken into custody and are being held on charges of investiga­tion. Some of them showed a desire to become ugly, but rough handling subdued them. ^

Drive Foreigners Out. Flat River, Mo.—About 700 foreign-

born laborers were forced out of the St. PrancoiB county lead belt by Am­erican-born miners, who insisted that all the foreigners must leave. The Americans, armed with shotguns, and carrying American flags, rushed the foreigners to the railway station every time a train came in. The Americana fired into the air as they herded the foreigners to the trains. No one has been seriously hurt.

Calumet Citizens Ask Aid. Lansing—A telegram from Calumet

citizens asking for aid against a pos­sible I. W. W. uprising after the Michigan guardsmen are called from here, was received by Governor Sleep­er. He arranged with the war pre­paredness board to have three com­panies of state troops organized at Calumet mustered in. Reports from Menominee and Escanaba indicate that state troop units are being rapidly organised there to quell I. W. W. agi­tation which is generally feared throughout the copper country.

London—Kaiser Wilhelm has accept* ed the resignation of his Imperial chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, and has appointed Dr. Georg Michaelia, under secretary of finance for Prussia and a privy councillor, in his place. An official German wireless dispatch with this information was announced by the British admiralty.

No further details were given. Un­doubtedly, however, the whole Hollweg cabinet has fallen. Official confirma­tion was had earlier that the Prus­sian minister of war, General von Stein, had resigned and that his re­tirement ham been approved by the raiser. The resignations of all the Prussian cabinet were formally ten­dered the kaiser several days ago, when the German political situation became acute. The emperor delayed acceptance dispatches from Berlin mentioned that neither Minister of the Interior Helfferich, nor Minister of Instruction Solz, of the Prussian min­istry, had been in attendance at re­cent meetings of that body, indicating their imperial master had dropped them from his official list of council­lors.

Germany's censorship has conceal­ed the full story of the political strife which has now culminated in the down­fall of the empire's most astute states­man and the most powerful politician.

CHILD SLAIN BY DEGENERATE

Was Found Dead in Rsar of His Home; Other Brother injured.

London—The Reuter correspon­dent at Amsterdam, under date of July 13, says the Bavarian Kurler publiahea what the Rheinische Westfalische Zeituno ealla "an al­most incredible and sensational revelation," to the effect that Pro­fessor Harnaek, June 30, wrote, in a letter which he tent to Munich, an account of an interview he had had a few days previously with Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial German chancellor,

According to this account, the channcelior informed Professor Harnaek that his views closely ap­proximated those of Philip Scheide-msnn, Dr. Eduard David, Social* ists, and Dr. Karl Heine, Social-Democrat, but he could not free himself entirely from the influences of the Conservatives, who must first be divided before he obtained a free hand for action.

Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg said the great danger was from Ger­mane who continued to believe in victory and added: "In the best case, It can only be a draw."

Detroit—Evidently mistaking Stan­ley Levine, 6-year-old, for his 9-year-old sister, who was not at home, a man believed to be a degenerate dragged bim from his bed through an open window into the yard at the rear of his home, 24ft Bast Ferry avenue, and there suffocated and tilled him. While attempting to prevent Isadora, 8 years old, Stanley's brother, from crying for help after he had been awakened by the opening of the window, the man tore the boy's mouth and threatened to km him If he did not remain quiet

surrounding

-* ^*aW".^'?/ '•**

The reformists who precipitated the crisis originally marked Hollweg for destruction purely because of his in-dividual refusal to acquiesce in their demands for wide electoral reforms and for a pledge that Germany's peace alms do not contemplate annexations. Then later dispatches reported that the Center party revolters and the rad­icals whtr Joined with them to assume control in the reichstag were opposed to Hollweg's retirement, being fearful that his successor would be even less amenable to reform Influences than Hollweg.

Dispatches received from Berlin, having been delayed by censor, em­phasized that if Hollweg yielded to the reichstag's demands for parliamentary reform, there was no reason for him to resign on account of inability ta agree with the parliament on the ques­tion of peace aims.

This would seem to indicate that Hollweg has flatly refused the parlia­mentary reform program.

Before receipts of the official con­firmation of HoUwefs retirement the newspaper Germania was quoted in dispatches here as asserting his fall "was inevitable, since the Junkers, headed ny the crown prince, were gaining the upper hand in the situa­tion."

The Germanla Is the Center party's official organ, in this connection it was moisted out that the crown prime* has been actively conferring for two or three days in Berlin, and that FleM W i w h ^ l Hindeaburg and Quarter­master General Lodondort, the two arce^aaostJes of ssfittarlem, had aeon

The Work Is An Outgrowth of s Cam­paign Started Before U. 8.

Entered the War.

Lansing. Under direction of the recently or­

ganized Conservation Association of Michigan, which in turn is working un­der direction of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, more than 100 trained underwriters Inspectors are now making a survey to obtain cor­rect and detailed information for the United States government concerning all food depositories and forms of merchandise that it is desired shall be properly safeguarded from destruction by fire or other agencies during pro­gress of the war.

The work is an outgrowth of a cam­paign begun by the federal govern­ment shortly before the United States entered the European war. In this campaign the entire service, resources and facilities of the National Board of Fire Underwriters was placed at disposal of the government through Secretary Baker, of the war depart­ment, by R. M. Bissell, president of the national board.

Through this assistance the govern­ment, within six days was supplied with information concerning grain ejtevators, flour mills, produce ware-Jspuses, cold storage plants, packing llDUBes, and other forms of property ttd of merchandise, throughout the united States. The value of this in­formation, it is said, could not be esti­mated in dollars and cents and the National Council of Defense admitted it would have required years to obtain it through other channels.

The Conservation Association of Michigan was formed in Lansing June 1, at a meeting in the senate chamber of the state capital. There were present more than 100 trained under­writers inspectors. Governor Sleeper and State Fire Marshal Winship were in attendance and promised their co­operation and support, The slogan adopted by the organization is:

"Our armies need food. Don't let it burn."

New War Camp Homelike. Oeorge A. Bellamy, appointed by the

secretary of war in thd special work of organizing the social and recrea­tional resources, for the soldiers, is at Battle Creek beginning the work,

A plan has been outlined and will consist of three parts:

The Y. M. C. A. will establish a rec­reation building for each brigade with books and magazines, provisions for writing letters, lectures, church ser­vices, singing, games, moving pictures and other educational and recreation­al activities. Five men witt be in charge of each building and there will be five of these buildings.

The second branch of the work will be to aid in the exclusion of rice and vicious resorts from the neighborhood of each camp.

The third branch of the work win be of a more poaitlve sort, tor the purpose of sjtvlna; the men la the camp normal social tmtareonrte and recre­ation, it ha* been found that the «a* deriving cause of the great and ob-Tiosi evils which hate attended the eeUbUahment of training camps in this country and in Europe has been the result of cutting the men off from normal social intercourse and recogni­tion, home, church, employment and friends. ..

An attempt will be made to have the actual presence of the soldiers' fam­ilies stear the camp for longer or short-ter periods.

Every sort of natural relation be­tween the men in the camps and the local community itself will be estab­lished, in the churches, lodges, college societies, business association*, club*, recreation centers, and other organise/ tiona of svery so r t

WICHURIANA LIST

Dr. Robert Huey, one of the most eminent amateur rosarians of the country has prepared a list of roses in the wlchuriana class, the hybrid tea class and the hybrid perpetual class as being the best fitted for cultivation in this country.

Of the wlchuriana, or climbing roses, these he considers the best: Dor­othy Perkins, Relne Marie Henriette, Christine Wright, Excelsa, Gardenia, Hiawatha, Dr. Van Fleet and Elisa Robichon. .

In the hybrid tea class, a cross be­tween the vigorous hybrid perpetual and the tea rose, the latter of which Is not vigorous enough for outdoor cultivation in this climate, are the fol­lowing : Antolne Revoire, Betty, Clar­ice Goodacre, Chrisaie MacKellar, Mrs. MacKellar, Dorothy Page Roberts, Duchess of Wellington, General Mac-Arthur, Grace Molyneux, Gustav Gru-nerwald, George C. Waud, Joseph Hill, Killarney, Yonkheer J. L. Mock, Honor­able Ina Bingham, Laurent Carle, Lyon Rose, Madame Jules Bonche, Madame Jules Grolez, Madame Marie de Luze, Ophelia, My Maryland, Robert Huey, Pharisal, Prince de Bulgaria, Souvenir de President Carnot, Wlllowmere, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Madame Segond Weber^ Mary, Countess of Ilchester, and Mrs. Harold Brocklebank.

The hybrid perpetual, the common June rose, has these varieties which Doctor Huey recommends: Frau Karl Druscgka, Snsanne Marie Rodocanachi, Mrs. George Dickson, Capt Hayward, Ulrica Brunner, Oskar Cordet, Mrs. John Lalng,. and Baroness Rothschild.

No matter what your selection the arrangement of the cut flowers and the beauty of the potted plant make the effect.

Poppies, of gorgeous colors, artisti­cally placed In a simple glass bowl, makes one of the most beautiful and restful center pieces.

For your plants get three or four asparagus plumosus and give them a good soil of garden loam made light with sand. Water moderately. Sun­shine Is not essential to its successful culture.

Shower several times a week and keep red spider from Injuring It. Be sure to nip off the end of each shoot, as advised to above to make the plant spread out well.

Don't forget that a bowl of flowers on the table Is a great distributer of sunshine and dlspeller of gloom.

TABLE DECORATIONS

The best plant for a daily table deco­ration is undoubtedly the asparagus plumosus. It has foliage much dain­tier than any other fern.

It can be easily grown In a bushy compact form which a plant designed for table use should have.

TO GET RID OF A PEflENNIAL.

If you have a bed of horseradish or o_?er perennial you wish to get rid or; dump a load of fresh manure upon it and leave it there until late in the spring. This Is also a good way to de* stroy clumps of poison ivy.

Sand Dredgers Pay State $15,000. The state of Michigan has finally

secured a settlement with the sand dredgers in various waters, and may be enriched about 130,000. Already Assistant Attorney General Bailie and Glenn Munshaw, representing the public domain commission, have re­ceived about $1(,000 from Detroit firms . Companion dredging sand on the west ©oast and around Isle Royal* are yet to be settled with. The set­tlement is on. basis of fire cents a cubic yard since 191$ and at the rate of two and one half cents a yard prior to that date. From now en all sand mnet be paid ter at fire eeebtorerd.

Temperance Wotes88

(Conducted by the National Woman'* Christian Temperance Union.)

HOW ABOUT THE REVENUE? "Upon one occasion when I was en­

gaged In a prohibition campaign in Canuda," jsays Prof. John A. Nicholls of Boston, "there came into the county seat a good-natured Irishman, the pos­sessor of a farm in an adjoining town. One of the would-be liquor seliera met him und at once proceeded to pour forth his tale of woe. 'Fat,' Bald he, *I hear that you are going to vote to continue this prohibition law. Now, that means the ruin of the county; grass will grow in the streets, and business will be ruined. You have a farm over in Melbourne, and you will not be able to sell your butter, your eggs, or your turkeys.' With woe-be-gone countenance he described the scene, and told of the awful calamifles that would befall the county unless licenses were granted to men to sell liquor.

"Pat listened to the story with a pe­culiar expression upon his face, then, with a comical twist of his eye, with one question, he punctured the bubble. 'Bedad,' said he, 'and would they take away the mouth of you, then?' The de­mand for food would still continue— and Pat felt that his farm was «afe.

"Grass will grow in the streets, say the liquor advocates, and the schools will be closed, unless whisky can be sold upon the street corners. Well, if it is grass or whisky, I am in favor of grass. A cow will eat grass, give milk, and keep someone alive, but a saloon cannot run and do business without debasing someone and adding to the sum of human misery and sorv row."

PER80NAL LIBERTY. What is to become of the funda­

mental doctrine of personal liberty; that a man may eat and drink what he pleases? What is to become of the theory that the development of stand­ard and sterling quullties in man can only be accomplished by stress and strain and temptation? These are se­rious questions that go to the root of human progress.

The right of the individual to eat and drink what he pleases and wear the clothes that he likes Is restricted by the fundamental principle that a man's actions shall not threaten evil to society at large. If one insists on eating poisoned food and giving It to his family, he threatens the existence of the state. If one should choose to walk the streets naked, he would of­fend the rights of other people, and thus threaten society. Doctor Mary Walker found that woman's clothes hampered her activities as a war nurse. She had, however, to get an act of congress to permit her to wear a man's garb undisturbed. This may seem a silly thing. In so far as I can see, a woman does not threaten so­ciety In any way by wearing a man's garb. She only threatens convention, and yet the law regulates wearing ap­parel In the interests of decency, pro­priety, and good morals. The drink­ing of intoxicating beverages is a threat not only to the man who drinks, but to society at large, and thus, with­out interfering with the fundamental rights of the individual or restricting a proper personal liberty, the state may say, "Thou shalt not drink."

CUT OFF THE SUPPLY. It Is estimated that the traffic

teaches four out of five of all Ameri­can boys to drink liquor in some form before they reach their majority. Deny to this liquor traffic the channels of trade; do It nationally. You get of coarse, some results when yon do It locally. You get larger results when yon do it as a county. You get still larger and better results when yon do it ss a state, bat do It nationally, and ultimately internationally! Dry up the sources of supply.—Richmond Pearson Hobson.

NO DRINK ON KING'S T A B U . It is no longer etiquette to place

wines or liquor on the table when King George is s guest, according to the London Spectator, which is con­ducting an active campaign for prohi­bition during the war. The king's or­der barring the use of alcoholic bever­ages in his palaces while the war con­tinues is being adhered to rigidly. No wine is served, even at dinner parties at Buckingham Palace or Windsor.

PROOF POSITIVE. The brutalizing effect of beer-alco­

holism Is shown moat clearly by the fact that In Germany crimes of sons! violence, particulariy dangerous bodily injuries, occur moat frequently in Bavaria where there Is the highest esmenmntlon of beer.—-Dr. Hugo Hop* pa, Famous Nerve Specialist of Ko*> aigsberg, Germany.

Pillsbury'* Chsss F.at. On Jan. 26, 1901, Harry N. Pillsbury

visited Kansas City, where he played twelve games of chess and three games of checkers with local devotees of those games. The games were, of course, carried on simultaneously. Pillsbury, sitting with bis back to the boards, the moves of the players were called out to him. He would immediately call back the name of his own piece, specifying on which of the sixty-four squares It was to be placed, and won ever; game. In Chicago, in 1900, Pillsbury played sixteen simultaneous games blindfolded in four hours and fifty-five minutes, winning twelve, drawing three and losing one.

CHAPTER XVIII—-Continued. —1ft—

/ Years of experience had taught him to be always alert, even daring his mo­ments of deepest preoccupation, and so, from force of habit, when he came to the pumphouse road he carefully scanned i t In the dust were fresh hoof-prints leading toward the river. tfow he knew this road t6 be seldom used, and therefore he wondered who could be riding it at a gallop in this blistering midday heat A few rods farther on and his quick eye detected •something else—some tiny object that brought him from his saddle- Out of the rut he picked a cigarette butt, the Are of which was cold but the paper of which was still wet from the smoker's lips. He examined it carefully; then lie remounted and rode on, pondering Its significance.

Dave loped out of the thicket and straight across the clearing to the Morales house. Leaving Montrosa's reins hanging, he opened the door and entered without knocking. Rosa ap­peared in the opening to another room, tier eyes wide with fright at this ap­parition, and Dave saw that she was dressed in her finest, as if for a holiday or for a Journey.

"Where's your fatherr he demanded. "He's gone to Sangre de Cristo.

•What do you want?" "When did he go?" "This morning, early. He—n

"Who's been here since he left?" , Rosa was recovering from her first surprise, and now her black brows drew together in anger. "No one has come. You are the first. And have jyou no manners to stride into a re­spectable house—?"

Dave broke In harshly: "Rosa, you're lying. Jose Sanchez has been here within an hour. Where is he?" When the girl only grew whiter and raised a hand to her breast, he stepped toward her, crying, "Answer me!"

Rosa recoiled, and the breath caught In her throat like a sob. "I'll tell you nothing," she said in a thin voice. Then she began to tremble. "Why do you want Jose?"

"You know why. He killed Don Eduardo, and then he rode here. Come! I know everything."

"Lies! Lies!" Rosa's voice grew shrill. "Out of this house! I know you. It was you who betrayed Panfilo, end his blood Is on your hands, as­sassin.'" With the last word she made as if to retreat, but Dave was too quick; he seized her, and for an In­stant they struggled breathlessly.

Dave had reasoned beforehand that bis only chance of discovering any­thing from this girl lay in utterly ter-rorlzlng her and in profiting by her first panic; therefore he pressed bis advantage. He succeeded better than {he had dared to hope.

"You know who killed Senor Ed," he cried, fiercely. "The fortune-teller read jour plana, and there-Is no use to deny iV

Rosa screamed again; she writhed; she tried to sink her teeth into her cap­tor*! flesh. In her body was the Irtrangth of a full-grown man, and Dave could hardly hold her. But suddenly, as the two scuffled, from the back room of the bouse came a sound which caused Dave to release the girl as ab­ruptly as he had seized her—it was the clink and tinkle of Mexican spurs upon a wooden floor.

UJP,

CHAPTER XIX.

-What do you want of me?" Jose managed to gasp.

There was a somewhat prolonged silence, during which Dave continued to stuie at his prisoner with that same disquleiing expression. "Why did you kill I inn Eduardo?" he asked.

"Yi Bah I Who says I Wiled him?" Jose Klured defiance. "Why are you looking at me? Come! Take me to jail, if you think that will do any good."

"It's lucky I rode to Las Palmas this morning. In another hour you would have been across the Bio Grande— with Rosa and all her fine clothes, eh? Now you will be hanged. Well, that Is how fortune goes."

The horse-breaker tossed his head and shrugged with a brave assumption of indifference; he laughed shortly. "Tou can prove nothing."

"Yes," continued Dave, "and Rosa will go to prison, too. Now—suppose I should let you go? Would you help me? In ten minutes you could be safe." He inclined his head toward the muddy, silent river outside. "Would you be willing to help me?"

Jose's brows lifted. "What's this you are saying?" he inquired, eagerly.

"I would only ask you a few ques­tions."

"What questions?" "Where is Senora Austin?" Jose's face became blank. "I don't

know." "Oh yes, you do. She started for La

Feria. But—did she get there? Or did Longorio have other plans for her? You'd better tell me the truth, for your general can't help you now." Dave did bis best to read the Mexican's ex­pression, but failed. "Senor Ed's death means nothing to me," he went on, "but I must know where his wife is, and I'm willing to pay, with your lib­erty." In spite of himself his anxiety was plain.

Jose exclaimed: "Ho! I under­stand. He was in your way and you're gtad to be rid of him. Well, we hate no business fighting with each other."

"Will you tell me—?" "I'll tell you nothing, for I know

nothing." "Come ! I must know." Jose laughed Insolently. Law's face became black with sud­

den fury. His teeth bared themselves. He took a step forward, crying:

"By heaven! You will tell me!" Seizing his prisoner by the throat, he pinned him to the wall; then with his free hand he cocked Longorio's re­volver and thrust its muzzle against Jose's body. "Tell me!" he repeated. His countenance was so distorted, his expression so maniacal, that Jose felt his hour had come. The latter, being in all ways Mexican, did not struggle; Instead, he squared his shoulders and, staring fearlessly into the face above him, cried;

"Shoot!" For a moment the two men remained

so ; then Dave seemed to regain control of himself and the murder light flick­ered out of his eyes. He flung his pris­oner aside and cast the revolver into a corner of the room.

Jose picked himself up, cursing his captor eloquently. "You gringos don't know how to die," he said. "Death? Pah! We must die some time. And supposing I do know something about the senora, do you think you can force me to speak? Torture wouldn't open my lips."

Law did not trust himself to reply; and the horse-breaker went on with growing defiance:

"I am innocent of any crime; there­fore I am brave. But you—the blood of innocent men means nothing to you —Panfllo's murder proves that—so complete your work. Make an end of me.H

"Be still!" Dave commanded, thickly. But the fellow's hatred was out of

bounds now, and by the bitterness of his vituperation he seemed to invite death. Dave interrupted his vitriolic curses to ask harshly:

"Will you tell me, or will you force me to wring the truth out of you?**

Jose answered by spitting at his cap­tor; then he gritted an unspeakable epithet from between his teeth.**

Dave addressed him with an air of finality. "You killed that man and your life is forfeit, so it doesn't make much difference whether I take It or whether the state takes i t Ton are brave enough to die—most of you Mexi­cans are—but the state can't force yon to speak, and I can.*1 Jose sneered. "Oh yes, I can! I intend to know all that you know, and It will be better for you to tell me voluntarily. I must learn where Senora Austin is, and I mast learn quickly, If I have to kill you by Inches to get the truth."

"So! Torture, eh? Good. I can be­lieve It of yon. Well, a alow firs will not make me speak.*

"No. A fire would be too easy, Jose.** •mr Without smr«r Dave strode out of

the room. H was back before his prisoner could do more than wrench at his bonds, and with him he brought his lariat and his- canteen.

"What are yon gain* to d o r Jos* in­quired, backing sway until h* was more t t bay.

Tn\ going to five yon a drink." "TOdssyf To* think-yon can make

OM drnnkr Th* horn breaker laughed loudly but nneasQy.

"Not whisky; water. I'm going to give you a drink of water."

"What capers!" "When you've drunk enough you'll

tell me why you killed your employer and where General Longorio has taken his wife. Yea, and everything else I want to know." Seizing the amazed Mexican, Dave flung him upon Mo­rales' hard board bench, and in spite of the fellow's struggles deftljy made him fast When he lutd finished—and It was no easy job—Jose lay "spread-eagled" upon his back, his wrists and ankles firmly bound to the corners and foot posts, his body secured by a tight loop over his waist The rope cut painfully and brought a curse from the prisoner when he strained at i t Law surveyed him with a face of stone.

"I don't want to do this," he de­clared, "but I know your kind. I give you one more chance. Will you tell me?"

Jose drew bis lips back in a snarl of rage and pain, and Dave realized that further words were useless. He felt a certain pity for-hls victim and no little admiration for his courage, but such feelings were of "small consequence as against his agonizing fears for Alaire's safety. Had he In the least doubted Jose's guilty knowledge of Longorio's intentions, Dave would have hesitated before employing the bar­barous measures he had in mind, but— there was nothing else for i t He pulled the canteen cork and Jammed the mouthpiece firmly tojjsose's lips. Clos­ing the fellow's nostrils with bis free hand, he forced him to drink.

Jose clenched his teeth, he tried to roll his head, he held his breath until his face grew purple and his eyes bulged. He strained like a man upon the rack. The bench creaked to his muscular contortions; the rope tight­ened. It was terribly cruel, this crush­ing of a strong will bent on resistance to the uttermost; but never was an executioner more pitiless, never did a prisoner's agony receive less consid­eration. The warm water spilled over Jose's face, it drenched his neck and chest; his joints creaked as he strove for freedom and tried to twist his head out of Law's iron grasp. The seconds dragged, until finally nature asserted herself. The imprisoned breath burst forth; there sounded a loud gurgling cry and a choking Inhalation. Jose's body writhed with the convulsions of drowning as the water and air were sucked into his lungs. Law was kneel­ing over his victim now, his weight and strength so applied that Jose had no liberty of action and could only drink, coughing and fighting for air. Some­how he managed to revive himself briefly and again shut his teeth; but a moment more and he was again retched with the furious battle for air, more desperate now than before. After a while Law freed his victim's nostrils and allowed him a partial breath, then once more crushed the mouthpiece against his lips. By and by, to relieve his torture, Jose began to drink in great noisy gulps, striving to empty the vessel.

But the stomach's capacity Is lim­ited. In time Jose felt himself burst­ing; the liquid began to regurgitate. This was not mere pain that he suf­fered, but the ultimate nightmare hor­ror of death more awful than anything he had ever imagined. Jose would have met a bullet a knife, a lash, with­out flinching; flames would not have served to weaken his resolve; but this slow drowning was infinitely worse than the worst be had thought pos­sible; he was suffocating by long, black, agonizing minutes, Every nerve and muscle of his body, every cell in bis bunting lungs, fought against the outrage in a purely physical frenzy over which his will power had no con­trol. Nor would Insensibility com* to his relief—Law watched him too care­fully for that He could not even voice his sufferings by shrieks; he could only writhe and retch and gurgle while the ropes bit into his flesh and his captor knelt upon him like a monstrous stone weight

But Jose had made a better fight than he knew. The canteen.ranjlry at \ last and Law was forced to release his hold.

"Will you speak V he demanded. Thinking that he had come safely

through the ordeal, Jose shook' his head; he.rolled his bulging, bloodshot eyes and vomited, then managed to call God to witness his innocence.

Dave went into the next room and refilled the canteen. When be re­appeared with the dripping vessel Uj his hand, Jose tried to scream. But his throat waa tern and strained; the sound of his own voice frightened him.

Once more the torment began. The tortured man was weaker now, and in consequence he resisted more feebly; but not until he waa less than half con­scious did Law spare him to recover.

Jose lay sick, frightened, inert Dave watched him without pity. The fel­low's wrists were black and swollen, his lips were bleeding; he was stretched like a dumb animal upon the vivisectionist's table, and no surgeon

th lance and scalpel could have shown lest emotion than did his in­quisitor. Having no intention of de­feating his own ends, Dave allowed his victim ample time in which to regain hla ability to suffer.

Alair* Austin had been right whetf

] she said that Dave might be ruthless; and yet the man was by no mean* la-capable of compassion. At the present moment however, he considered him self simply as the Instrument by which Alaire was to be saved. His own feel­ings had nothing to do with the mat­ter ; neither had the sufferings of this Mexican.' Therefore he steeled himself to prolong the agony until the murder­er's stubborn spirit was worn down. Once again he put his question, and, again receiving defiance, jammed the canteen between Jose's teeth.

But human nature is weak. For the first time in his life Jose Sanchez felt terror—a terror too awful to be en­dured—and he made the sign.

He was no longer the Insolent defter, the challenger, but an Imploring wretch, whose last powers of resist­ance had been completely shattered. His frightened eyes were glued to that devilish vessel in which his manhood had dissolved, the fear of it made a woman of him.

Slowly, in sighs and whimpers, in agonies of reluctance, his story came; his words were rendered almost Incom­prehensible by hla abysmal fright When he had purged himself of hla secret Dave promptly unbound him; then leaving him more than half dead, he went to the telephone which con­nected the pumping station with Las Palmas and called up the ranch.

He was surprised when Blaze Jonea answered. Blaze, It seemed, had just arrived, summoned by news of the tragedy. The countryside had been alarmed and a search for Ed Austin's slayer was being organized.

"Call it off," I>ave told him. Tve got your man." Blaze stuttered his surprise and incredulity. "I mean It It's Jose Sanchez, and he has con­fessed. I want you to come here, quick; and come alone, if you don't mind. I need your help."

Inside of ten minutes Jones piloted his automobile into the clearing beside the river, and, leaving his motor run­ning, leaped from the car.

Dave met him at the door of the Morales house and briefly told him the story of Jose's capture.

"Say! That's quick work," the rancher cried, admiringly. "Why, Ed ain't cold yet 1 You gave him the •wa­ter-cure/ eh? Now I reckoned it would take more than water to make a Mexi­can talk."

"Jose was hired for the work; he laid for Ed Austin In the pecan grove and shot him as he passed."

"Hired! Why thiB hombre need* quick hangin'. don't he? I told 'era at Las Palmas that you'd rounded up the guilty party, so I reckon they'll be here in a few minutes. We'll just stretch this horse-wrangler, and save the coun­ty some expense." Law shrugged. "Do what you like with him, but—It isn't necessary. He'll confess In regulation form, I'm sure. I had to work fast to learn what became of Mrs. Austin."

"Miz Austin? What's happened to her?"

Dave's voice changed; there was a sudden quickening of his words. "They've got her, Blaze. They waited until they had her safe before they killed Ed."

"'They?' Who are you talkln' about?"

"I mean Longorio and his outfit He's got her over yonder." Dave flung out a trembling hand toward the river.

Seeing that his hearer failed to com­prehend, he explained, swiftly: "He'i crazy about heir—got one of those Mexican Infatuations—and you know what that means. He couldn't steal her from Las Palmas—she wouldn't have anything to do with him—so bt used that old cattle deal aa an excuse to get her across the border. Then he put Ed out of the way. She went of her own accord, and she didn't tell Austin, because they were having trouble. She's gone to La Feria, Blase."

"La Feria! Then she's In for it" Dave nodded his agreement; for the

first time Blaze noted how white and •set was his friend's face.

"Longorio must have foreseen what was coming," Dave went on. "That country's aflame; Americans aren't safe over there. If war is declared, a good many of them will never be heart from. He knows that He's got he-safe. She can't get out"

Blaze was very grave when next h« spoke. TJ&ve, this is bad—bad. 1 can't understand what made her go, Why, she most have been out of her head. But we've got to do something We've got to burn the wires to Wash­ington—yea, and to Mexico City. We must get the government to send sol­diers after her. What have we got 'em for, anyhow?**

"Washington won't do anything. What can be done when there are thou­sands of American women in the same danger? What steps can the govern­ment take with diplomatic relations suspended? Those greasers are fillini their jails with our people~roundittf 'em np for the day of the big break f No, Longorio aaw it all comlnt—4»*i no foot He's got her; she's in th trapped."

COULDN'T LIFT SIX MONTHS OLD BABY

Mrs. Hawkins Was So Weak Couldn't Move in Her Bed

Without Help.

HAD SUFFERED TORTURE Well and Strong Again After Taking

Tan lac and Weight Mere Than She Mas in Over Eighteen

Year*,

"" "I was down in bed and couldn't raise my head or move without help and now I'm able to do all my house­work, even to my cooking and garden work and I weigh more than I have In eighteen years and have been taking Tanlac only about four weeks," said Mrs. DolUe Hawkins, 4906 Second ave­nue, South, Birmingham, Ala., recent-

n "For years," continued Mrs. Haw­kins, "I suffered with rheumatism and acute Indigestion. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was ter­rible. I couldn't lift my six-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to wait on me and do my work. I was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. I couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such run-down condition my baby fell off until it was just a little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time.

"If ever a medicine did wonders, Tanlac did it for me and my little ba­by. I felt better in Just a few days after I began taking it. I have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep is fine and rests me. The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone. I can eat any­thing I want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as a little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays with­out a* whimper. Tanlac has made a well woman of me and a fat, healthy baby out of my little sickly one, and I'm Just so thankful for what Tanlac has done for us I want everybody to know about this great medicine."

Sam's national army was announced by the war department. The quotas assigned are on a basis of proportionate population of each

state to the population of the nation as recently fixed by the censua bureau. Ia the allotment each state is given credit for Its total enlisted National Guard strength, plus the men enlisted in the regular army between April 2 and June 30, 1917.

WILSON ISSUES FORMAL DRAFT ORDER Washington.—The government has

notified each state of the number of men it will be called upon to furnish In the draft. This notification was con­tained In the formal order Issued by the president calling for 687,000 men under the selective conscription law to make up the national army.

The only steps now remaining are distribution by the governors of state quotas among the local exemp­tion districts and the great lottery, which probably will be held next week and which will establish the order in which registrants are to pre­sent themselves for service or exemp­tion.

The men summoned for service will be used to fill the regular army and National Guard to war strength and to organize the first 500,000 of the new national army.

Total to Be 1,262,988. The total of these three forces will

be 1*262,985 men. Later another 500,000 will be called

out, supplemented by sufficient men to make up losses and maintain re­serve battalions.

Following is Secretary of War Baker's announcement of the order:

"By virtue of the authority vested in him by an act of congress, entitled 'An Act to Authorize the President to Increase Temporarily the Military Establishment of the United States,' approved May 13, 1917, the president of the United -States has ordered the aggregate number of 687,000 men to be raised by draft for the military service of the United. States in order tb bring to full strength the organ­isations of the regular army and the organisations embodying the mem-ban of the National Guard drafted into the military service of the United States and to create the national army, and has caused said number to be apportioned to the eral states and territories and the District of Columbia a« ant forth in theschedmle hereto appended.

cate to each local board established In such state, territory or district no­tice of the net quota to be furnished by such board, and such net quotas shall thereupon be furnished by the re­spective local boards as required by said act of congress and rules and reg­ulations prescribed pursuant thereto."

In computing the number of men to be required from the various Btates the government put to the credit of each state every man it now has in the National Guard and every man it has contributed since April 1 as a war volunteer to the regular army. ' Computation Method.

Placing on the debit side of the led­ger the national army of 500,000, the entire National Guard at war strength and the number of war volunteers needed on April 1 last, to bring the regulars up to the war strength, the grand total was apportioned according to population.

This gave a gross quota for each state, from which a net quota was com­puted by checking off the number of National Guardsmen available for fed­eral service and the number of men given by the state to the regular army since April 1.

The apportionment was made on the basis of an estimated grand total for the United States and Its possessions of 105386,056 inhabitants.

This is a paper estimate, computed from registration returns, which comes within the law requiring distribution of quotas by population, but which equalises in a great measure the bur­den that is to fall upon the 4,559 ex­emption districts.

Total of 1,152386. Bach will furnish under this appor­

tionment the men its total registration would indicate as a fair proportion, rather than the number the actual pop­ulation of the district would indicate. The total of these groes quotas is t -

Don't Rook t he Industrial Boat After the European war Is over the

^prosperity of the country-will depend on the willingness of labor to co-oper­ate with capital in fighting destructive competition from abroad. This is the consensus of opinion among men of affairs who have made a close study of conditions in the industrial and eco­nomic world.

During the reconstruction period that must follow the termination of t h e war, these men say, labor and capital wTTl t>e shipmates, and if there Is going to be auy mutiny among the members of the crew the result will affect the wage earners' income. In this counection George Roberts, vice-president of the National City Bank of New York, says:

"I cannot get rid of the conviction that there will have to be a period of readjustment for the general business situation soon after the war. There is only one way to maintain high wages, and that is by increasing the efficiency of Industry. We have to convince our own people of the ad van-tages of large scale, economical pro­duction, and we have to satisfy our wage-earners that they are Interested not in restricting production, but in Increasing production, They must be brought to see not only that wages are dependent upon production, but that an increasing supply of all the com­forts of life for the masses of the peo­ple is dependent upon it"—Industrial Conservation, N.

The dairyfhg department of the N e w Jersey agricultural experiment station* recommends that the dairy farmer should r emember Jo give his cows a rest of six weeks or more before they freshen. Some cows may maintain a good flow of iailkfright up to calving time, and in such cases the dai ryman hesi ta tes to dry them off for a rest period of several weeks. This should be done, however, and the cow well fed so that she will be in good flesh when she freshens.

The work of producing a heavy yield of milk for ten months or a year is a severe dra in upon the cow's s t rength and vitality, and a period of rest should be givttn her to recuperate and prepare for ano ther lactation period. If she finishes her milkinvpperiod quite thin in llesh, she should lie given a longer dry period and nioic liberally fed. The loss of what milk the cow might produce during the dry period

WITHOUT AGITATORS INDUSTRY FLOURISHES

f igures Show Big Increase In Wages and Factories In Queens.

Wherever labor agitators are few, there industry flourish es and workers are prosperous. This is the lesson to be, gleaned from the remarkable Indus­trial growth In the Borough of Queens. New York City, as shown by the fig-ores recently compiled by the Bureau of Census for the year 1914

The figures record a decided gain sot only in the number of new facto­ries, capital invested in manufactur­ing, and the value of manufactured producta, but also in the sum total of galaxies and wages and the number of •aiaxled employes and wage earners sines the taking of the last census in 1000. From a percentage standpoint the increase over the several items was MB follows: . flel^HAd employes, 62.7 per cent; sal-

A Fighting Bishop. On one occasion Bis bop Selwyn was

going down the river Walkato with a Maori when the latter, who was very lazy, left off paddling the canoe, at the same time muttering that if Selwyn were not a bishop he would—well, "go for him."

In a moment the bishop told the man to turn the canoe ashore, where, strip­ping himself of everything episcopal,' he said, pointing to his robes, etc.; "The bishop lies there ; the m a n is here. I am quite ready. Come on."

The Maori did not "come on," how­ever, but quietly resumed his work without another murmur.—Londo& Tit-Bits.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS

Utilize Every Possible Morsel of Food —Teeth and Stomach Wear Out

First in Cow.

For a considerable period before the dairy cow is due to freshen It Is best to feed highly nut r i t ious feeds. About 00 days before the t ime for par tur i ­tion the cow should be dried off. It is necessary t ha t , this be dune care­fully, as old milk reft In the udder may lend to garget or other Ills. ,

r'or the drying-off process the Pennsylvania exper iment stat ion rec­ommend* decreasing the sMage to about L'O pounds and the grain to four pounds daily. Xo ehang-e is necessary in the anpniivt of hay fed. After the cow is dry the grain ration is re­sumed and the a m o u n t ' of grain in­creased gradnallv until the week lust previous to freshening.

The grain rut ion^ought to be laxa­tive in character , highly nut r i t ious and pala table . During the last week the cow should be placed in a box stall and her grain lessened. Equal parts of wheat bran and ground oats or chop with alfalfa hay and man­gels Is recommended as a good ration to feed at this time.

After par tur i t ion the cow should not be milked until the second day, except by the calf, unless, as is the practice of some dairymen, the calf is removed at once. For several days the cow should be allowed only tepid water. For feed, good clover hay, mangels and bran and oats are probably best until her system becomes normal again. By the third day the cow may be returned to her stall.

The Original Fruit Canners, We are indebted to Pompeii for the

great indus t ry of canned fruit. Years ago, when the excavat ions were jus t beginning, a par ty of Cincinuatians found in what had been the pantry of a house many jars of preserved figs. One was opened, and they were found to be fresh and good. Investigation showed that the figs had been put into jars in a heated state, an aperture left for the steam to escape and then seal­ed with wax. The hint was taken, and the next year fruit canning was In­troduced into the United States, the process being identical with that in vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago. —Exchange.

Every possible morsel of food fed to dairy cows should be utilized for the production of milk and but te r fa t . The teeth and the stomach a r e the two organs of a cow which wea r out first, especially the former. This is caused in great pa r t by the cow having .to eat hard dry imground grain. There is an old saying, "No chain is s t ronger than its weakest link." With t he dairy cow also this holds true. When one organ of digestion wears out, then the whole cow is useless.

A good dairy cow should be kept as long as possible, and if she is properly fed and cared for, she will be useful for about fifteen years . Some give a nice mess of milk at the age of twenty years .

Milk and cream are perishable prod­ucts and every possible precaution should be taken at the farm and in the home to keep these products whole-come. In the fall with the cooler weather, there exists an opinion that ice or other methods of cooling milk and cream is unnecessary to have these products remain sweet In cold weather, says Prof. V. R. Jones of the South Dakota department of dairy hus­bandry. This is a false assumption. .Special precaut ions to see that these dairy products are cooled immediately after d rawn and kept cold until deliv-?ry a r e important .

Milk and cream will contain germs or ( lact ic acid) bac ter ia no mat te r how careful we are iu Its production. The bacter ia that cause milk to sour multiply very rapidly at moderately high t empera tu res (70-80 degrees F.) If the milk or' cream is cooled to 50 degrees F. or less, the growth of these germs is held in check and these food products remain sweet for a longer period.

If t he dairy farmer does his duty in properly cooling milk and cream at the farm, either with ice or cold run­ning water , and the same precautions are t aken in the home, there will be less t rouble with sour milk and cream.
