DUCHES SKYLARK ORMSBY 121514.
This is a picture of the Holstein
Fresian cow, Duchess Skylark Orms
by, the new world’s champion butter
producer. The result of her 365 con
secutive days test, conducted by the
Minnesota Agricultural college, shows
she milked 27,761.07 pounds,nearly
fourteen tons, or over twenty-three
times her own weight. The butterfat
contained in this year’s milk yielded
1,205.09 pounds, this being a fat per
centage of about 4.32.
Figured at cash value, and the dol-1
lar and cents estimate is one of the
prime reasons for the popularity of
the Holstein-Fresian cow, and allow
ing 35 cents a pound, she produced
about $500 worth of commercial but
ter. Think of it! More than thirty
five 40-pound tubs! The best previ
ous record for the 365-consecutive
days’butter test was held by Finderne
Pride Johanna Rue 121083. She pro
duced 645 pounds more milk but it
contained 28.62 pounds less butter
than the amount acredited to the new
champion.
Duchess Skylark Ormsby 121514,
who now holds the world’s record re
gardless of age, class or breed, was
bred by R. B. Young of Buffalo Center,
N. Y., and is owned by John B. Irwin
of Minneapolis, Minn. Her sire is Sir
Ormsby Skylark 47010, and her dam is
Oakhurst Duchess Clothilde 106988, by
John Barneveldt 35S65, a bull that was
imported in dam in 1903.
The new champion butterfat pro
ducer was born Oct. 31, 1909, and
freshened at the age of five years and
three days. .Throughout the test she
was cared for by Axel Hansen,and
never missed a feed.never required the
services of a veterinary.
Certainly this wonderful “Black and
White” cow shows an attractive profit
on the year’s ledger account, for to her
production of $500 worth of commer
cial butter must be added the enor
mous amount of skim milk and the
value of her calf. It is an achieve
ment for anything but ordinary com
mercial Holstein-Fresian cattle.

Unecjualed Rally to Rumble of
Empire’s Drum—Edin
burgh Is Hard Hit.
By D. M. MATHIESON.
Edinburgh.—The Scot in American
exile, who daily ponders over the di
versified war news and whose face
turns always to the homeland and
particularly the northern part there
of, where the mountains rise till they
are lost in the gossamer shreds of
mist and the sea rolls in amid the
thousand inlets of the western Hebri
des, may well wonder how the up
heaval of the eastern hemisphere is '
affecting the lives of the folks he has
left behind.
Let me say at once that over the
length and breadth of Scotland the
war spirit reverberated in a wave of
patriotism unparalleled in all the im
perishable fighting history of Old
Gaul. Figures available on the eve
of the last voluntary call to arms by
King George show that Scotsmen have
made an unequaled rally to the rum
ble of the empire’s drum.
To give a concrete illustration—
from the island of Lewis 90 per cent
of the male population today wear -
the king’s uniform, mostly in the navy;
the cities of Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth,
Inverness and Aberdeen responded,
till now it is believed not a conscript,
if conscription comes, could be se
cured.
Scotland for months has been avast
armed camp. On the border there is a
great camp occupied by the men from
the Lowlands. When I saw them they
had been in camp for nine months,
sturdy, well knit fellows, with the
keen, small eyes peculiar to the na
tives of the southern part of Scot
land. Away in the west in the farm
ing country of Ayr there are camps
where you meet the long-limbed, lean,
deep-chested men with the quick
gray eyes typical of the people of
the western seaboard.
Fighting at Dardanelles.
On the Scottish regiments fell the
bulk of the fighting in the Darda
nelles. It was on the regiments who
went out from the capital of the coun
try that the losses were heaviest, and
today in the city of Edinburgh there
is scarcely a family but mourns the
loss of a relative or a friend. The
landing at the Dardanelles has been
written of as one of the wonder pages
in the military history of the world.
Scotsmen are happy, ghastly though
the sacrifices were, that to their sons
was apportioned the first efTort to get
a footing on the peninsula. From Flan
ders again are endless stories of
deeds which cover anew the names
of Scottish regiments with luster. Of
the famous Black Watch it is said they
carried their trenches at Loos half
an hour ahead of any other part of
the British army. This may or may
not be true, but at all events in the
English papers long accounts have
appeared of the thrilling onrush of
the kilties.
The Royal Scots, the Lowland regi
ment with which Lord Rosebery's
name is associated, have won undying
fame at the Dardanelles. The Cam
eronians, the regiment largely recruit
ed from the professional classes of
Glasgow, the King’s Own Scottish Bor
derers, the Fife and Forfar Yeomen,
the Argyll, the Seaforth and the Gor
don Highlanders have all thus early
embellished their old fighting rec*
ords.
Hunger for a Fight.
There are men in these camps who
have been training for 14 months. They
are hungering to be sent out. They
represent the best blood in the nation.
They are drawn from the middle
olasses and the Shire families.
At a recruiting rally I have seen
nothing more wonderful than the vol
untary assemblage of Scotsmen when
the flag was unfurled. Instances are
known where Scotsmen voyaged hun- j
dreds of miles on the rivers from the
backwoods of Canada. Scotsmen came
from the sheep farms of Australia,
from the rubber plantations in the
East, from the torrid plains of India,
from the golden Rand.
The old Scotsman watched—and
there was a tug at his heart strings—
the human river roll endlessly to the
land of home. He heard of his lads |
who had crossed the Andes from re- j
gions almost unknown and sailed j
round Cape Horn, 10,000 miles, all at [
their own expense, to join the line of
battle tor their race.
“How is life at home in these
times?” may be asked. Financially
the people have not felt the pinch.
There is less poverty, f should say,
than in pre-war times. One reason
for this is that the flotsam and jetsam
have Deen as patriotic as the better
classes, and with the liberal separation
allowances made by the government
for the families or men who have en
On Losing Your Temper.

Vallejo, Cal.—Although his parents '
didn’t raise him to be a soldier, Fred- j
eric C. Bradman, Jr., of Mare island, j
aged seven years, has twice formally
enlisted in the United States marine
corps and is a corporal in his second
“hitch,” to use the sea-soldier vernacu- ;

Corporal Bradman wears a service
stripe and a good-conduct medal as a
reward for excellent service during
his first enlistment and also "sports” i
a sharpshooter's badge that was won
by proxy. The youngest marine has
bad two years’ foreign service in
Cuba, which will count as four years
toward the thirty years necessary for
retirement. And Corporal Bradman
says he will re-enlist until he shall
have served thirty years.
Major Frederic L. Bradman, U. S. j

Ball Bearing j Long Wearing
The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor
of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8.
Among them are:
Silence of Operation—The most silent running efficient
typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge for this convenience.
Vtriable Line Spacer— Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed—Insures new place of impact for each
typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
— ball bearing carriage, typebars and capital shift, back spacer,
key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.

WESTERN NEBRASKA and
COLORADO FARMS
are fast increasing in value. Their 1915 yield of from 25 to 45
bushls of wheat per acre will exceed the present price of similar
and adjoining lands. Indication point to the greatest demand
for these deeded Western lands that the West has yet seen. The
incoming inquiries show already the movement to get hold of
one of these farms before it is too late; if you can buy these lands
at from $15 to $.'55 an acre you can make up your mind that they
will be 50 per cent higher in the near future. Dairymen are
making money. The silo has revolutionized farming on these
lands and insures a return value that has never been known. All
farm improvements on adjacent lands bear testimony to their
worth. Yuma County Colorado, last year produced $1,275,000
worth of wheat, $600,000 worth of corn and $1,280,000 worth of
stock. This was about the production of other counties where
these lands lie in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado.

IN THE MELTING POT.
ASHINGTON, IX C.—The pres
ent Presidential campaign i? rn
usual because of the fact that
although there are no less thr.n
a score of “possibilities” in
the field, no individual candidate
has, as yet, made a definite an
nouncement of his candidacy, and no
campaign headquarters of the accepted
variety have been opened for the fur
therance of Presidential ambitions.
This does not mean,- of course, that
the supporters of the various candi
dates have been idle; to the contrary,
the literary line of attack was resorted
to by mcst of them many months ago.
But when it comes to the old-fashioned
headquarters, with lots of red, white
and blue bunting, barrels of badges,
and other accepted campaign para
phernalia, they are conspicuously ab
sent.
One of the most gratifying phrases
of the present preconvention cam
paign, from the standpoint of those
who are interested principally in Re-,
publican success this year, is the lack
of mud-slinging between the various
candidates. In the last campaign at
this time, the Taft and Roosevelt sup
porters were issuing hourly statements
denouncing each other, but so far as
the campaign of 1916 is concerned,
there appears to be a general agree
ment between the various candidates
to let the other fellow alone, so that
when the time comes to decide be
tween them, everyone can get together
and work for a Republican victory in
the November elections.
National politics and politicians
were given a lot of attention In the re
cent minstrel show conducted by the
National PresB Club, of Washington,
such as the following gag, which made
something of a hit:
"Mr. Bones,” Inquired the Interloc
utor, "how long will it be before the
Republican party nominates a presi
dential candidate?"
“Oh, Weeks,” was the reply.
The question of geographical loca
tion of presidential candidates has be
eomo a disappearing element in poli
tics now that the professional politi
cians have less to say in the selection
of delegates to the conventions Land
the voters can exert a more direct in
flucnee in the naming of their party’s
candidate. In the present campaign
we iind strong men mentioned for the
Presidency who live so far apart as
Massachusetts and Idaho, with Iowa
thrown in between. "It’s the man.’’
the voters say, “and not the place h ?
comes from, that counts.” Which, of
course, is disconcerting to the old-time
"leaders."
"The Presidential campaign of 191S
will be fought out on many issues,"
says Congressman Charles F. Curry, cf
California, in "Prosperity." “but the
paramount Issue will be the tariff.
The Underwood bill, as a revenue pro
ducer, has been a failure, and it has
cheapened men, but it has not cheap
ened commodities to the consumer.
The Democratic party has never been
able to think straight and act right
on the tariff question. Free trade, or
a revenue for tarlfT only with inci
dental protection, which is the near
est possible approach to free trade in
this country, is a fraud, a delusion and
a snare, and can only be supported by
fallacious reasoning.”
Many strange things go into the cre
ation of a Presidential "possibility,"
and some of the city newspapers are
having a little fun with Senator John
W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, just now,
because of the persistence with which
his supporters call attention to the
fact that he originated the federal law
protecting migratory birds. But with
the country papers, it is different, for
they know that the migratory insectiv
orous bird is the farmers’ friend, and
whoever protects the birds protects the
farms. So that is why Senator Weeks’
friends keep on talking about his
work in behalf of the country’s migra
tory bird population, and refuse to be
disconcerted when some of the news
papers refer to it as a “piece of sen
timentality,"
