i stouti W J VOL XXII Price 40 Cents Month. CONCORD, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 27.1912. Single Copy, Five Cent. JfO. 251 1 i imn AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION IN EVERT RX8PECT. Moclk Interest Taken in It by Cabar roa County Firm art. Car in Charge of Expert! Who. Showed Everything Necessary to Equip a Small Dairy. An Entire Equip mont Can Bo Bought for About $200. The Southern Railway's dairy ear was in Concord yesterday on its tour through the western part of the State. The car is operated by the Land and Industrial Department of the South ern and its mission is strictly educa tive. The car is in charge of experts, Dr. C. M. Morgan, dairy agent of the Southern, J. P. Quinerly, demonstra tor, I. O. Scbaub, of A. and M. Col lege, and W. H. Eaton, State dairy man, being in charge. Quite a num ber of farmers visited the ear and inspected the modern and up-to-date dairy equipment it contained. Mr. Eaton, State dairyman, stated to a representative of this paper, that the ear might be visited by a larger num ber of people on its tour but he did not expect to find any visitors more interested in the work than the ones from Cabarrus. The equipment of the car is idea) in every detail. Everytmng neces-i sary for equipping a small dairy farm was exhibited, including churns, but terworkers, separators, Habcock test ers, cream testers, ice boxes, shipping boxes, etc. One of the greatest, if not the greatest feature to the plant outside of the good results to be ob tained from modem machinery, is the fact that the entire equipment ;an be purchased by any person for abcut $200. A plant for this cost is all that is necessary for a 20 to. 30 cow farm. The equipment also contain ed a 2 h. p. boiler to furnish steam for washing and sterlizing purposes. The experts in charge of the car plac ed special stress on this part of the equipment, as it is impossible to keep the dairy clean and sanitary with out the use of steam. In this connec tion they also recommend that con crete floors and running water be a part of the equipment of the work room. The workroom should be as small as possible in order to make the work of keeping it clean and sani tary much easier. The dairy department of the de partment of agriculture will be glad to send blue prints of dairy barns, silos, and milk houses to any address. In addition to sending the plans the department will send a man to super intend the construction of the build ing. Both will be done without cost to the builder. The department is also conducting a milk record test. This test will aid the farmers in keeping a record of products of each cow and will assist him in weeding out unprofitable cows. It is recog nized among dairymen that any cow that does not produce 200 pounds of butter is a 'boarder" and it is un profitable for the owner to keep her.

Mas sachusetts oromiaes to furnish the most interesting political news of the eoming week. Presidential prefer ence primaries will be held there to select all delegates to the eoming na tional political conventions. The pri maries in the Bay State will offer a test of sentiment different from any that has gone before, inasmuch as tbey will not be complicated with local fights of any kind. They are called for the sole purpose of elect ing delegates to the national conven tions and tbey will not affect a single State or eounty office. They will not even be indicative of sentiment af fecting the governorship, or nation al issues, for that matter, for the State convention is eliminated and the Massachusetts delegates to Chi cago and Baltimore will not be gov erned even by a platform. The names of Taft, Roosevelt and LaFollette will appear on the Repub lican ballot in Massachusetts. Both Taft and Roosevelt have visited the State several times during the past two months, and it is generally ad mitted that the race between them will be close. On the Democratic bal lot will appear the names of Clark and Wilson, though it is unders$tfd that the Massachusetts delegates at Baltimore will vote for Governor Foss on the first ballot. The primary results will determine who is to be second choice of the Massachusetts Democrats. Both Taft and Roosevelt are fight ing for the New Hampshire delegates, who are to be selected by the Repub lican State convention which will meet Tuesday in Concord. Pennsylvania Republicans are to meet in State convention in Harris burg Wednesday to nominate candi dates for auditor general, State treas urer and four congressmen-at-large and to select twelve delegates to the national convention. Encouraged by their success in the recent primaries the Roosevelt followers are laying plans so that their control of the convention may be unquestioned, and also with a view of overthrowing Senator Penrose and completely wrecking his political machine. Other events on the Republican calendar for the week will include the State convention in Tennessee and the State convention in West Vir ginia. Tennessee is claimed by the Taft managers, while Roosevelt is be lieved to have the lead in West Vir ginia. The Democrats will be even busier during the week than the Republi cans, in addition to the presidential preference primaries in Massachu setts there will be similar primaries for the Democrats in Georgia and Florida and State conventions in Colorado, Connecticut and Delaware, The contest in the Florida prima ries will be confined to Woodrow Wilson and Oscar W. Underwood and the situation is believed to be virtually the same in Georgia. Con necticut Democrats are expected to instruct for Governor Simeon E Baldwin, while Harmon, Wilson and Clark will fight it out in Colorado. If Delaware instructs it probably will be for Wilson. Events of the week outside the field of politics will include Presi dent Taft' s visit to Georgia, the cele bration of the Louisiana centennial at New Orleans, the great parade of woman suffragists in New York, the unveiling of a statue of Archibishop Carroll at Georgetown University, and the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which is to assemble in Minneapolis Wednes day. - Bavaria's Had King. Munich, April 27. King Otto of Bavaria entered upon his sixty-fifth year today, and Munich, with other Bavanan towns, in honor of the oc casion displayed flags and- bunting, sang Te Deums, had a review ot troops and perfunctorily drank to the health of the king who remains shut up in the castle of Fuerstenned, hopelessly insane and carefully guarded. All these celebrations are merely a matter of form and in ac cordance with monarchical traditions The Bavarians care but little for their King, whom many have never seen. He was insane when he suc ceeded to the throne of Bavaria af ter the death of his brother Ludwig II., who had been deposed on ac count of his madness and drowned himself in Starnberg Lake two days later. June 10, 1880. Even then Otto was confined as Castle Fuerstenned, while Prince Luitpold, appointed re gent for the mad Ludwig, continued as regent for the even madder Otto, TITANIC '8 ROCKETS SEEK BT NEARBY SKIP.

The millionaires are get ting the credit for snch a large share of courage that nobody has been pay ing any attention to the poor devils on the leviathian," said Victor Ber ger, the Wisconsin Senator, Socialist. "Every year we kill thousands simply to save money and pay divi dends, Berger said. ' llio titanic disaster is only one instance. There are now plenty of bills pending in congress to sateguard ocean travel. WhyT Just because the wealthy class was hurt. Until a crowd of millionaires are injured or affected we will never get safety appliances on boats, in mines, or railroads. "Greed and speed are the charac teristics of the capitalists, disasters almost as appalling in the industrial world, but they are not millionaires they are poor, the working men like the engineers, the firemen, the sailors on the Titanic. "I don't want to belittle the hero ism of the rich on board of the ill fated ship. They were brave and bravery should be applntnled. Hut we do not want to lose sight of the fact that the real heroes were the working people Those that stuck to tlieir posts of duty on the vessel the en gineers, for example. "Fifty per. cent, of the first class passengers were saved; a smaller per cent, of the second and only 10 per cent, of the steerage. "In this country we learn only by experience of our own.
