'''" The scoring system is the same as
recommended by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and refers to the meth
ods of handling milk and equipment.
100 per cent being a perfect mark.
The percentage of butter fat given
is the amount of actual fat in he milk
Vheji cjhurnetlV, milk may &how a
higher percentage of butter than
shown by this test. This is probably
due to the moisture it contains and is
known to dairymen as "the overrun."
More Pointers For Raising Your Score
White wash 13 conspicous' by its
absence. White wash is cheap and can
be applied by any person of the aver
age intelligence. It not only adds
considerably to the appearnace of a
place but makes it much more sani
tary. In fact the Government disin
fects against some contagious dis
eases by white washing the stables.
Any dairymen white washing the sta
- ble on the inside, sides, and top will
be given credit of five on his score.
Remove milk from the stable as
soon as it is milked to the milk room.
Standing in the stable for any length
of time is responsible for the "cowy"
taste frequently noticed in milk.
It is gratifying to know all of the
large dairies are now using the "nar
row top pail." This lessens the f dirt
that will reach the milk. If the flanks
and long hairs on the udder are clip
ped credit of ten will be given on
score j -

WAR-STRICKEN LOOVAIII
Interesting Reel of Moving Pictures of
the Belgian City in the Heart of the
IJ.-ittle Fields of Europe td be Shown
sit the Acme, Theatre, Saturday
September 20fh.
The popular Acme ! Theatre, located
on West Centre Street, next to Robin
son's Drug Store, has secured the first
and only authentic war pictures! from
the Battle fields of Europe. These
pictures together with 'the regular
Saturday program will be shown next
Saturday, starting at ten o'clock in
the morning and continuing all day.
Rural friends of the Acme are espec
ially invited to see these pictures.
The admission will be 5 and 10
cents. j '
' War Stricken Louvain" is
com-'
posed of a series of scenes, showing
side lights on conditions in the strick
en Belgian City during hostilities and
before its destruction by the Germans
Some of the pictures are said 'to be
taken by Captain Kearton with his
camera concealed under his raincoat,
which conceivably well may have been
the case. One of the most tragic of
these, one of the most striking and one
of the most dramatic in its revelation
of the manner in which the innocent
non-combatants suffer, is the view of
the peasants fleeing from the zone of
battle. It is life as ; we read of it in
the dispatches. The victims travel
aions UK" road on foot and in all sorts
of farm vehicles. They are unton
scious of the camera; they have left
behind practically all of their earthly
possessions and they plod dully over
the highway seeking only to save their
lives. :- ; .-; -f :. i : ;',
There are about twenty-five scenes.
In one there -can be plainly noted in
tho distance smoke arising from .burn
ing buildings. In the opening picture
there is a view of Belgian troops at
Tirlewont, a suburb of Louvain, Where
their determined resistance retarded
the advance of the Germans. jOther
scenes indicate the many grades of
society making up the Red Cross di
vision, soldiers awaiting instructions
as the tide of battle flows, serving
mess on the march, Belgians fortified
behind brush wood awaiting attack.
advance of cavalry, typical (street
scenes d.iring hostilities, artillery
bivouacked for the night, cavalry go

canine hero which j carried thi now

So many important things are hap-
peing every day in the Buy-a-Bale-of-
Cotton campaign that is well-night im
possible to record them all, much less
to comment upon them. One can pick
at random from the day's report3 and
find incidents that deserve columns
of praise. Here is an Associated Press
dispatch from Charleston, telling how
that good city has bought nearly two
thousand bales of cotton at ten cents
a pound in a spirited campaign of two
days.' i - i"
Think of it! Nearly two thousand
bales of distressed cotton retired from
the market; nearly a hundred thous
and, dollars of money set flowing
through all the channels of trade!
Instant relief for farmers, cheer for
merchants, quickened prosperity for
the entire community! And all this
accomplished in two short days !
This dispatch adds that is 'merely
the beginning of what Charleston pur
poses to do. Its people are determin
ed to press the Buy-a-Bale campaign
on and on, until a million of bales of
cotton have been retired from the
market. They are looking beyond the
bounds of their-own city and are do
ing a work of economic evangelism
throughout their State. To enthusi
asm, they have added systematic or
ganization, and they are winning won
derful results.
Every town in the Southland that
has not yet done so should follow this
splendid course. The Buy-a-Bale cam
paign has but fairly begun. Let's urge
it to the utmost limit of its I useful
ness. ' ' ' " i

WILD WEST COMING
Jingling spurs of cowboys, their
gaily colored .shirts and wide som
breros are seldom seen these days,
while the music of the six shooter has
given way to the hum of mill and
reaper, and other civilizing influences
have brought us down pretty well to
one' pattern. But this is not so along
our southern border.
Pick out any spot along the 2,00 )
miles of frontier between the Gulf of
Mexico and the Pacific and you - will
find plenty of romance and action still
remaining on both sides. All of it is
transplanted in the performances that
Miller Brothers and Edward Arling
ton's 101 Ranch Real Wild West will
give here on Wednesday, October 7.
For the presentation of frontier
and pastimes Mexico contributes ban
darillos, matadors, 'revolutionists, Ya
quis, rurale3 and vaqueros, while tbx
Americans furnish cowboys, cavalry,
rangers, plainmen, trapers, shap
shooters and Indians of many tribes.
Fierce-eyed steers from the Sierra
Madre section are roped, tied md
thrown i long horned Texan steers,
examples of the fast dying breed of
catttle, form the butt for cowboy fun;
horses that pitch, buck, dig sand, and
"swap ends" in exciting rotation are
saddled and ridden. Lady broncho
busters' in divided skirts of corduroy
enliven the scene, while exciting
round-ups, equestrian football and
baseball, buffalo hunts and horseback
quadrilles give endless variety.
Indian battles areV revived, pioneer
days depicting hardships" and strug-;
gles of the brave sejtlers as well', as'
a regressive reflex of .the stage coach,
the pony express rider and early -methods
of communication are pv.
sented in an entirely new ".frame wrb
new scenic effects and backing.
All the participants; of. the wiV
west are fired with ihe aura of ex
citement which vibrate ; ac ut all who
live in an j atmosphere of adventure
They present an intelligent retrospect
of the j time and the place, not only
in its physical aspect, but historical
ly and humanly. . r
JEWISH NEW YEAR Igv V
I CELEBRATED TODAY.
Rosh-Ifashonah Observed in ,'Toth Re
formed and Orthodox Churches.
I j Begins the Year "t. i'.T.
Today has been strictly observeu
a holiday by our: Jewish residents of
this city, it being the start of the year
5,675 in the Jewish calendar.
The holiday Rosh-Hashonah it la
commonly called, started both for the
Reformed and Orthodox churches yes
terday afternoon : at sundown and is
one of j the most solemn days in the
Jewish calendar. The Orthodox church
observes two daysy their religious
services : continuing until Tuesday
evening at sundown while the Re
formed church observes hut one, that
endingiat sunset this afternoon.
The blowing of trumpets, or sho-
fars, on yesterday in all synagogues
and of bugles in the temples, served
the purpose of calling the Jewish peo
ple to remembrance of their obliga
tions before the Lord and to awaken
them to their duties.
Rosh-Hashonah starts a period of
10 days which is more or less observ
ed a3 a holiday by all Hebrews. This
holiday is brought to an end by Yom
Kippur, the day of attonement, when
all persons of both the Orthodox and
Reformed churches fast for a period
of
24 hours.

The House this week will take up
the War revenue bill which w as com

agreed on would tax beer, wines, gas
