By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, (UP)—Cows were
quite contented in October, for they produc-
ed more milk per cow per day than is their
usual habit. They had better food and more
of it and chewed their cuds in quiet medita-
tion in remarkably mild weather. These
treats were new to cows’ Octobers. Likewise
fewer of them were beheaded than is the us
ual custom.
These deductions are derived from a
report of the United States Department of
Agriculture made up from information sup-
plied by crop correspondents.
Worked Overtime
The gentle bovine was working overtime
it appears. November 1 the average milk
production for each cow was 12.46 pounds,
compared with 12.31 pounds on that date last
year and the five-year average of 11.98
pounds. The increase occurred in the North
Atlantic, North Central and Western group
of states, with the southern group showing
about the average seasonal decrease.
Such marked increase in production the
report attributes to improvement of pastures
combined with heavier feeding and mild
weather. Surpluses in grain crops, while bur-
densome to the farmer, meant only second
helpings to Bossy. On Oct. 1 she was being
fed 8.4 pounds of grain a day but on Nov. 1
4.3 pounds. Many farmers reported pastures
better than earlier in the season. These man-
nas wefe preserved and nurtured by the late
warm spell which most of the United States
experienced this year.
Vicious Circle
Something of a vicious circle existed in
the feeding of milk cow herds. Grain was
unusually low and so the cows’ grain diet was
increased. Butterfat was high. But with -
the extra helping of grain the grateful cows
turned out more potential butter and as a
consequence butter prices slipped off and
grain rose.
The cows have been doing such a good
job of milk producing in the last few months
and prices and conditions have been so gen-

drudgery from the life of the house-
wife.
The cost of these electrical benefits is
trifling. The average electric bill of all
our residential customers is ten cents a
day. This is usually less than the fam-
ily spends for cigarettes, candy, soft
drinks or the movies.
t
Let electricity bring all the comfort it
can to your home. Let electricity do
the work in your home. Electricity does
the housework more easily, more quick-
ly, and for less money than you can do
it by hand.

Manufactured sunshine is just one more
valuable contribution electricity makes
to happy, healthy home life. For the
housewife, electricity is the greatest of
all servants. It sweeps the floors for a
penny an hour, it washes the clothes for
a nickel a week, it cools the rooms for
half cent an hour, it plays the radio an
hour for a penny. Electricity adds to
the joy of home life and removes

CHRISTMAS TREES
The perennial question as to whether it
is hot a shocking waste of our timber re-
aourect to cut down hundreds of thousands
of spruce and other evergreens for Christ-
mas trees is again being discussed. And once
more the American Tree Tssociation defends
the use of young conifers for Ytiletide orna-
mental purposes and advises those who are
protesting against the alleged waste to di-
rect their energy to educating the people as
to the proper use of forests.

But McGraw’s spirit, that 'ar-
ried him through many a tight
situation, was not beaten.
McGraw conceived the idea of a
benefit dance, the proceeds to be
used to reclaim his home. The
owner of a large home, admiring
McGraw’s spirit, offered it rent
free. Police authorities ioined in
his plan. An orchestra voluntec cd

would act as ushers.

the ticket gale, assuring the blind
veteran that he will recover Ins

they require no special apparatus, and

WASHINGTON —(UP)—O'er
c nine-year period ending in 1980
“Deruluft,” the German Ruidan
Air Transportation Co., has real-
ized a tremendous increase in air-
plane carrier service. From 1922
to 1930 “Deruluft” planes have
carried 13,363 passengers, 729,-
648 pounds of baggage and
freight, and 261,765 pounds of
mail for a total of 3,003,702 miles.
Figures show that in 1930 the
company’s planes flew six times
ay far, earned ten times as manv
passengers, three times as mueh
freight and baggage, and nearly
30 times as much mail as in 1922,
over two services, one from Ber-
lin to Moscow, the other from
Konigsberg to Leningrad.

Local residents recalled that

Leavitt and Mary Hoover were

re Jetting their emotions get the better of
beir common sen»e. Thus one person aays:
Why not teach the children that every
Christmas tree may mean that some poor lit-
le bird is without a place to sleep.”
It is assumed by those who are oppos-
ing Christmas trees that if they were not cut
down all would grow into tall timber suitable
for saw-logs. But the assumption is unwar-
rantqd. Both when planted by man and by
nature the conifers spring up in thick clus-
‘ irs, so close together that there is no room
ir all to reach maturity. Some must yield
others'are to have enough space and light
jrdbters Accordingly deliberately thin out
e stand by cutting some of the small trees
make room for those that are to be sIIqw-
1 to grow. Trees thus removed may be used
ristntys purposes. If they were not re-
they would probably be killed in the
fa for existence with their neighbors,
ut even if all the Christmas trees would
grow up if left undisturbed, the cutting of
them would, still be justified because of the

jy r About one year after Uncle Sam gets
through counting noses Miss Canada begins,
so the result of the 1931 census is now an-
sd north of the border.
; reveals a vigorous Dominion with a
itfon of 10,353,776, a growth of close to
cent since 1921. This is a larger per-
’e gain than the United States made in
the decade. 1920-30. We added only 16.1 per
cetat.
The prairie provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have continued their
march forward at a slightly slower pace, and
thia time almost as substantial an increase is
recorded by the province of Quebec, where
they still raise large families and whose in-
dustrial cities have recently been booming as
a result of the United States tariff. Ontario
still leads in population, with a 600,000 edge
on Quebec, but the gap between them has
been lessened. The bluenoses of the mari-
Kurovinoes are barely holding their own,
Km Scotia and Prince Edward Island show-
jto Blight declines.
