Getting All the News
When you are hungry, a sandwich
doesn't till the bill like a full meal.
Even though it costs less, you want
nothing short of the meal. It's the
same way with your newspaper, only
even more pronounced. When you
set down at night to read, you want
a full meal of county and local news.,
The Journal furnishes you just that,
and reaches you twice a week to any
other paper's (in the county) once.
And the strange thing about it is. the
lull meal doesn't cost you any more
than the sandwich. $2 will bring it
to your mailbox twice a week for an
entire year. Why be deprived of the
news when you can have it all for
such a small amount? Hand your
$2 to the Journal representative or
mail your subscription to the office
direct and be assured of an entire
year's good reaeling at a very nomiaal
cost.
Charivari Newlyweds.
A party of young people of Mur

the newly married couple, Mr. an3
Mrs. Walter Mackemeyer, and made
them think the world was coming
to an end in the beginning, but fur
nished a most pleasant evening and
at the time of their departure ex
tended a most gratifying wish that
their pathway through life might be
strewn with flowers and mostly
roses with never a thorn to trouble.

The Nebraska farmer with the
average size dairy herd, by adopt
ing cow testing association methods,
san increase his annual butterfat
production 1,000 pounds above what
he is getting now, according to Dr.
C. II. Eckles. In a radio talk broad
cast by the Radio Farm School of
the Blue Valley Creamery Institute,
and head of the dairy division of
the University of Minnesota said
that, while the average cow is only
producing about 160 pounds of but
terfat in a year, the average cow in
the testing association turns out 270
pounds of butterfat during the same
period.
"Cow testing association cows are
not high priced, purebred animals,
and their owners are not competing
for high records," said Dr. Eckles.
"They are simply farmers keeping
cows for a living and trying to pro
duce as much milk and cream as
possible at the lowest price. If they
are able to get so much more out of
their animals than their neighbors,
it is simply because they have the
figures at hand to show them exactly
iwhat they are doing,
j "The first lesson one learn3 from
Jthe cow testing association is thai
, if the owner of the average herd
of nine or ten cows will adopt the
methods of farmers In cow testing
association work, he can very like
ly run up his butterfat production
a 1,00 pounds in a year, and a 1,000
pounds of butterfat in these days
Is worth working for. Cow testing
association records also will show
him which of his cows is not pro
ducing profitably and should be
culled out from the herd if the cows
are to keep the farmer instead of
the farmer keeping the cows. Fur
thermore, he will find that the well
fed cow is the economical producer
of butterfat and that it is never
economy to be keeping a half-fed
herd of dairy cows. The fourth im
portant lesson from the cow testing
association experience is the treat
value of alfalfa hay. The most suc
cessful dairy farmers in the associa
tions and outside as well -depend
upon some legume hay for roughage,
and a great many of these choose
alfalfa."

Says Prohibition Authorities Have Nc
Right to Fill a Man's Skin With
Liquor Getting Evidence.
Houston. Tex., March 4. "Pro
hibition agents have no righf to fill
a man's skin with liquor just to
fake a case." and General Judge J.
C. Hutcheson in condemning the
practice of prohibition agents of buy
ing liquor for informers who help
them with evidence.
"Congress authorizes a prohibition
agent to buy liquor for evidence, but
it does not and cannot authorize him
to take informers artmnd with him
and allow them to drink as much
as they like.
Judge Hutcheson yesterday apolo
gized to a jury for subjecting them
to hearing a "reprehensible" narra
tive" recounted in the testimony,
when Mrs. Bennie Guerrant was be
ing tried on a possession and sale
of whiskey. Witnesses testified that
liquor had been purchaser by a fed
eral prohibition agent and informer
in the defendant's house and that
four half-pints of whiskey were con
sumed by the informer while he and
the agent were in the bouse.
"I want to make it clear that the
government does not1 sanction such
practices." said Judge Hutcheson.
In instructing the jury, the judge
pointed out that the improper acts
of the prohibition agents did not
affect the case. The jury rendered
a verdict of guilty. Sentence was
deferred.
