Pure Bred Dairy it Herds Installed in Holt County J Stockmen Co-Operate in Cam paign to Make Nebraska Dairy State—Tests Show Benefits. O'Neill, Neb., March fi.—Tangible results in the campaign to add 1,000,. 000 head of cows to the dairy herds of Nebraska already are manifesting themselves in Holt county and around O'Neill. Dairying always has been one of the important, although not the leading, of the county's agricul tural and stockralaing industries. While others are discuselng a future development, the county's farmers and dairymen already this winter and spring have gone to work to Improve and augment their dairy herds. A number of head of reglatered purebred Holstein milk cattle already have been imported and othera are on the way. Among the first to re place his ordinary milk cows with .the aristocracy of dalrydom near O'Neill was Frank Lancaster, prom inent stockman and former county agent, who has deposed of all tut three head of hlff former milk cattle and replaced them with 17 head of registered and tested Holstelns from a noted Minnesota herd. The new rattle have been In service a suf ficlent. length of time for a compari son of their productive qualities with tliose of the ordinary red milk cow. Mr. Lancaster finds that while some ef the milk from the Holstelns does not test as high in butterfat as does the milk of the three crack red cows which he eaved with which to make the test. In every Instance the larger quantity of milk produced by the Hoi- : etein also results In the yield of a larger amount of butterfat per animal and a larger yield of separated milk yer animal to be fed to his large herd ef young pigs. Seventy head of registered Holstein " sows and heifers, which had been im ported by ranchers of the dry farm ing section of Wyoming from Minne sota and Wisconsin a year ago and ^ on which the Wyoming men were ( unable because of poor crops to pay out on, arrived last week and are be ing eagerly snapped up by the farmers who have Inspected them. Several exclusive dairymen, since noting the result of the test on the I-ancaster herd, have announced their intention of replacing in entlrlty their : present dairy herds and a number of i cthefs will milk from eight to ten : liesfd each as daily revenue producers.

Washington Considers McLean Merely as a “Dub,” Says Sullivan 1 ■ ■■ ■■■ ■— * Publisher Will Show Himself in His True Light When He Appears Before Senate Investigating Committee Is _ General Opinion—Third Variation of Check Story Expected at Hearing. By MARK SULLIVAN Washington, March 6.—This week the public will learn who Edward McLean is. Mcl^an would not like to be railed a "dub" or "booh" any more than the vest of us would. Yet, McLean ought to be grateful to anyone who ex plains his present predicament on the ground that he is a "dub," rather than the only alternative ground, which Is something very sinister In deed. For that matter, McLean him self wit have to choose of these two explanations when he stands up this, week before Senator Thomas Walsh.* Mcl*ean will have to reveal him self either aa a fulfillment of the phrase "poor boob" or else as a sin ister conspirator. The only third way out for McLean will be to refuse to testify, on the same ground that Fall refused, namely because It would tend to incriminate him; and of all three possible courses, that would be the most damaging to McLean. Most of us who have been around Washington the longer and think we know the most about it accept the first alternative, that McLean has played the part of a "dub." It may seem extraordinary to de scribe the owner of the Washington Post and the Cincinnati Inquirer as a "dub” of such degree of "dubshlp” •aa his present predicament Implies, but It must be remembered that Mc Lean acquired these two newspapers as an Inheritance from his father. Most parsons In th# newspaper busi ness srs of the opinion If young Mc Lean hadn't Inherited them he would not have them. Not only these two papers, but also a great deal of other wealth In miscellaneous forms, came to McLean from the late John R. Mc Lean. A good deal might be said about McLean, sr., If thers were not so much necessary to he said Just now atiout McLean, Jr. McLean, sr., was of a type more familiar 25 years ago than now. He owned, In addition to his two newspapers, most of the gas company, most of the street rail way company, most of the leading trust company and most of the lend ing bank. Was Forceful Character. Some rather strong things used to be said about him, but hs was a strong person with plenty of ability and with character of the sort that forceful men or rough men under stand. When he came to die he left hts property to his only child—not di rectly, but In the custody of a trust company, and carefully aurrounded with conditions which suggested that he may have thought he had reasons to apprehend that Ida heir might turn out to he less competent In guarding against the dissipation of the fortune than lie himself was. Young McLean went to the courts to break the will, and it ended in a compromise by which he was permitte»l to he a co-trustee and permitted to have charge of the two newspapers under the helpful snd scrutinizing eyes of a considerable retinue of lawyers, hankers, business managers, confidential personal em ployes and the like. Young McLean, as an only son, aeenifl to have suffered more than usually from the handicaps that sometimes attend the upbringing of a rich man's only child. The fact that he. though the son of one of the richest men in Washington, never went to college would seem to argue something somewhat, unusual about his upbringing and mental discipline. Had Lived Youth. In his youth, according to the stor ies about town, he accumulated a con siderable acquaintance with the sort of persons who hang around race tracks and other persons Identified with forms of amusement sometimes associated with race tracks. After bis father died, however, and after he was permitted to participate in the management of the properties, a good many folks In Washington took ths ground that whatever had been said about McLean as a young er men ought now to be forgotten; and It is a fact that there was some evidence of an effort on hie pert to live up to the sort of responsibilities that should go with ownership of im portant papers in two cities. Washington began to think of the young man as being, if not an Ideal custodian of those community Inter ests that should attach to a news paper. neterthelees, one who under his new associations and responslbll ties, seemed to lie trying to do hie best and steadily Improving. Befriended by Harding. But unhappily criticism loves a shin ing mark, and McLean became e shin ing mark when President Harding, after his election, Immediately on coming to Washington Identified himself with McLean's house, and Identified McLean with the White House In ways so conspicuous that people talked a good deal about thle extraordinary association. Some things have been said about it_public ly on the floor of the senate and else where. As for what was said about It privately, that would fill a book. Tou might express It very faintly by saying that young McLean's repu tation was exactly the Bort that one would expect to commend him to the occupant of the White House, a« the companion of hie more austerely in tellectual moments. Those who sought the better Justl fioatlon for the Intimacy between Harding and McLean put It on the ground that as owner of one of the two morning papers In the capital, end as owner bIbo of one of the lead lng newspapers In Harding's home state of Ohio McLean Justified Hard lng's association with him on the ground of practical political values. Then Troubles Began. It was out of the association with yarding and Harding's friends that Median's present troubles arose. Fall and Daugherty were close to the pres ident. and McLean waa close to all three. When Daugherty came to Washington ho made his home for several months In McLean's house., That fact, no doubt will be made to have some weight in the coming in vestigation of Daugherty. $12,000 Campaign Launched for New Cleves Temple Twelve thousand! dollars la being sought for the maintenance of the new Cleaves temple at Twenty-fifth and Decatur streets.
