A Wonderful Holstein Heifer
"Another Holstein Miilces ft World's
Record." The press of tlio country
might well keep Mint oft-repeated an
nouncement uh a "statiding head,"
ready for nso nt a moment's notice, for
tho reports of Holstein cows breaking
world's records in milk nnd butterfat
production have become common
places. Yet, among breeders nnd dairymen,
there is a never-ending interest in tho
wonderful progress in scientific breed
ing nnd care which these records signi.
fy. There is also a rapidly-growing
concern in the breed which is capable
of this development.
Tho Holstein-Frlesian heifer, Jewel
Pontlac Segis 220201, has broken tho
world's records in the junior two-year-old
class of the division covering tests
begun not less than 210 days after calv
ing. There are two remarkable points to
bo cou6;dcred in this achievement:
First, she exceeded tho records of ull
other cows lu her class in both milk
and butter production. The former
world's record of 21.01 founds of butter
in 7 days was held by Flnderno Mutual
Fayuo, while tho former world's record
of ll5.r. pounds of milk in 7 days was
held by Johanna DeKol of Hush Court.
Tho record of the new champion is
17.'!. 0 pounds of milk, containing 22.07
pounds of butter, in 7 days.
Secondly, Jewel Pontine Segis es.
tablished her record .'l.'l: days after
freshening, and had no special care
during tho year. In fact, she did not
even have a scruened stall, but ran in
the yard with the herd, during hot
weather and lly time, and was exhibit,
od at the Minneapolis State Fair,
where idie was passed by many thous
ands each day, an ordeal which is not
considered conducivo to the best re
sult's, especially in the case of a heifer
having the highest nervous tempera
ment possessed by the new champion.
She holds tho world's record for botli
milk and butter in tho sixty- and
ninety-day divisions and lias now brok
en tho teeords for milk and butter,
and the combination record for both,
in the eight-mouths-after calving di
vision. Jewel Pontine Segis was bred and is
owned by J. M. Hackney, of Ardeu
Farms, Inc., of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Her siro is King Segis Pontiac Count
03900, and her dam is Do Kol Jewel
Pontine 142181.
Had she been given all tho advant
ages usually nlforded in such test",
there is little doubt that this great
two-year-old holfer would have estab
lished a new longtime record for her
cIbss, in her year's work.
It Is of Interest to note that Ragnor
Wahlenburg, herdsman at Arden
Farms, Inc , who developed the first
seventeen daughters of King Pontine
Scgls Count, with an average record a
junior two-year-olds of more than 21
pounds of butter lu 7 days.

Secretary Issues Statement
Washington, D. C , Feb 17, 1917.
The Secretary of Agriculture gave
out a statement today to refute the re
port that States desiring to obtuin
money for roads under the Federal
Aid Rond Act, which appropriates $85,
000,000 must build only expensive
roads, and to make it elenr thnt no
particular kind of material will no re
quired or favored by the Department
of Agriculture to thedetrinient of other
materials.
"There is not the slightest truth in
such a report," said Secretary Houston.
"This Department, which is charged
witli the administration of the Federal
Aid Road Act, has placed absolutely
no restrictions, either director Implied,
upon the kinds of highways to be con
structed. States may submit for ap
proval liny kind of road, even an earth
road, nnd'approval will be given if the
const ruction be substantial in char
acter, suitable tor trntUo needs, and
meets tho terms of tho Federal Act
To give state legislators atid highway
olllcials the impression that this De
partment favors only costly types of
road or discriminates in favor of any
particular material, results not only In
sproading misinformation, but in plac
ing barriers in the way of States which
wish to avail tliemsolves of Federal
Aid in road construction1'.

Out of (ho door of n populnr Rum
bling hull fled 20 lintless, coatless fig
ures, nnd nftcr them cninc a host of
oillcers of tho law, nnmely, sharp
eyed detectives nnd shrewd policemen.
It was n famous raid. The gamblers
hnd been caught In tho net, the gnm
hllng devices, some of them valuable,
Were nil conflscnted, and tho men, ex
cept one, were seized nfter n long run.
Tho one who escuped wns Bob
Crnnc, tho owner of tho hall.
In vain nil searched, trying to win
the largo reward offered for his cap
ture. But ho had disappeared, as if
off the face of the earth.
But there wns one person in the
city whero tho raid occurred who
could have told tho searchers whero
Bob Crnno wns, nnd thnt ono person
wns Nellie Hayes. Nellie wns n tnll
girl, with soft brown hair nnd Inrge,
blue eyes. One nfternoon nfter Bob
had left the gambling hall to get n
light lunch before going bnck to his
evening work, he hnd decided to tnke
n wnlk through ono of the pnrks.
While In this pnrk he saw n horse
mndly running down the long, smooth
drive. Ills henrt gnve n thump ns ho
saw n girl dashing heforo tho oncom
ing horse. Bob mndo a despernte at
tempt to rescue the girl nnd succeed
ed In pulling her nwny from tho dnn
ger. This girl wns Nellie Hayes, and
later, when Bob first met her on the
street, nenrly n yenr heforo tho rnld,
he stopped short to look nt her. Ho
1hen deliberately turned nnd followed
her nt i respectful dlstnnce to her
home on one of the fashionable streets
of tho town. Time pnssed rapidly
nnd heforo long he had mndo friends
with her fnther, nnd In nn nmnzlngly
short time tho upper class know him
ns tho sweetheart of pretty Nellie
Hayes.
She knew nothing nhout him, hut
Just took him on trust, thinking him
to he nn honest, upright num. Now,
when he dodged under tho arm of n
hliiecontod pursuer, and swung nu
mber ono out of tho way with n blow
of his big fist, he ran, more from
force of hnlilt thnn nnythlng else,
straight in at the half-open door of
the Hayes homo. Nellie wns standing
in tho hall ns ho rushed in.
"Bob!" she cried, showing n little
excitement in her voice, ns she came
toward him with her nrms out
stretched and her eyes pitying him.
"Oh, what's the matter, dear?"
"Don't, Nellie." he said huskily, ns
he looked embarrassed Into her eyes,
"you mustn't touch me now. I don't
know what I'm here for nnywny, un
less It's to tell you the truth. You
have put too much confidence in me.
Don't look nt mo thnt way. I'm not
fit for you to touch, nor to look nt,
nor to think of, Nellie, darling." Ho
choked buck n sob before he contin
ued: "I'm a bad man, and tho police
are looking everywhere for mo this
minute, but I had to come nnd tell
you first thnt It's nil true whnt you'll
see In the papers todny thnt Bob
Crnno Is n gnmbler nnd n sharper, and
that his business is to cheat men out
of their hnrd-enrned wuge.s. I'm this
snme Bob Crane," ho confessed to the
only girl that he had ever loved. "I've
been trying to get Into something else
for your sake lately, dear, but I
couldn't seem to nnd old ways nre
'Hard to brenk. So gootl-hy, Nellie,
you'd best forget nhout me."
"Bob," she hesitated; then she
came and laid her hands on his
shoulders to gaze Into his eyes. "Boh,
dear, If I'll get you out of the country
and keep them from finding you, will
you promise to be n good mnn ns long
ns you live?"
He caught his hrenth.
"Promise," she urged, ns she
grasped him Jy the nrm.
"I promise," ho said solemnly, nnd
then ndded, "hut It's leaving my henrt
behind me, Nellie, denr."
She did not answer, hut crossed the
hall and took a smnll envelope from n
table drawer, (hen came and stood be
fore him again. "Now, listen. From
now on, Boh, you're Mr. John Edwards
and you're going hack to your old
homo in Irelnnd. Your rooms and
passnge were taken last Frldny for to
dny's boat. You see, Mr. Edwards,
who bought this ticket, Is 111, and the
doctor said It would kill him to go.
Ills wife brought the ticket here last
night and asked mo to take It hack to
the steamship olllee this morning. So,
Mr. John Edwards, I will hire a car
Huge for you nnd tonight you'll bo
safe on your way to the distant land."
She drew away a little ns she hand
ed him the envelope; she knew very
well what would happen. Ho looked
rip In surprise us ho opened It. His
heart bent faster. "Why, Nellie, there
are two tickets here. What does It
mean?"
"Mrs. Edwnrds wns going, too, Boh,"
she replied.
"But whnt'll I do with them," he
Inquired ns ho glanced nt her affec
tionately with n dawning comprehen
sion. "Nellie, oh. Nellie I You don't
mean you you "
"Of course I nm," she said. "Did
you think I'd let you go nlone?"
A few months later Bob nnd Nellie
landed In the dlstnnt country nnd Boh
Crnnc, the reformed gambler, married
Nelllo Hayes, tho girl who had nl
ways been true to him.
Todny Bob Is tminngor of Mr. Hayes'
foreign office, nnd Is plnnnlng to re
turn to Amerlcn when ho has repaid
nil of the money that ho won in the
Kiimbllng hull.

AS THE MINISTER SEES IT
Finds Compensation for His Efforts In
Community Where Talents Seem
to Bo Buried.
"Why, mnn, you're burying your tal
ent in n plnco like this l'" the minis
ter's friend snld earnestly, almost In
dignantly. "Out In the thick of things,
with your abilities, you could accom
plish nlmost nnythlng. If you stay on
here, tho world will soon forget there
Is such n fellow as Itulph Dennlston."
Dennlstou smiled his familiar quiz
zical smile. ."I don't believe God Is
forgetting, McQulston. When I enmo
out to this Httlo frontier town, fifteen
yenrs ngo, I wns confident that I wns
being sent. If I hndn't been, I think
I should have gone somewhere else.
After I hnd taught six months In tho
stuffy, overcrowded, little school build
ing on the hill yonder, I wns surer of
it than ever. 1 knew the place needed
mo, or a better man, and I didn't see
any likelihood that the better mnn
would come. The pupils 'took to me,'
as the parents say, and I knew I hnd
an Influence with them. I could point
out a good many cases now where I've
got results.'
"The salary Is small, nnd I've had a
dozen 'better' offers. They've come
mostly through old college classmates,
and for that reason" It's pained me to
turn'them down; but well, I've never
heard the order to leave from tho
one In command. That may sound
like mysticism to u hard-headed, prac
tical mnn of affairs like you, McQuls
ton, but it's very real to me, nnd yes,
I might as well sny It, very precious
nnd satisfying. I doubt whether u sal-1
ary of ten thousand n year would give
me the peace of mind it does to know
that I'm where God wants me to be.
"I wou't sny I don't hnve my long-,
lugs for whnt you cnll 'the thick of
things.' That's unavoidable, nfter a i
fellow has once known the thrill of big '
undertakings and the zest of neck-and-
neck competition. But I think of It
like this: When the workday Is over,
I'd want to feel thnt I could face God
with a clear conscience nbout this
thing. I'd hnte to confess thnt I'd
obeyed the heavenly vision nt tho
stnrt, nnd Inter on quibbled, nnd pre
tended I couldn't see It nny longer."
"I don't know but you're more thnn
half right," the other admitted soberly.
Ills eyes narrowed upon the white
school building on the hilltop, and
there was n long silence. "To feel
"sure God knows where to find you, be
cause he sent you there nnd never gave
you orders to leave that's a great
thought, Dennlston."
