enough of the water to make a

Production of Quality
Cream Important Point
Proper washing and scalding of
cream separators after the milk Is
run through them reduces the bac
teria In the cream one-half and the
keeping quality of the cream Is great
ly Increased, according to the results
of an experiment recently conducted
by the dairy department at South Da
kota State college.
With cream grading becoming a
more common practice, the production
of high-grade cream Is one of the Im
portant points In successful dairying.
Realizing this fact, the dairy depart
ment undertook to determine what ef
fect the care and cleanliness of the
separator had to do with the “produe
I tlon of quality cream.
Two separators were used In the ex
periment. One was washed and scald
ed after each separation while the oth
er one was only rinsed. Cream sep
arated 12 hours later in the separator
that was only rinsed showed an aver
se bacterial count of 10,800,000 per
cubic centimeter. Cream from the
Mme milk separated in the machine
thoroughly washed and scalded,
si.iwfii n bacterial count of only 5,
SouiOO and the flavor and keeping
quality was far better.
The skim milk in these trials
•bowed even a greater difference In
the bacteria present. When the nia
''hine was not taken apart and washed
for two separations, the bacterial con
tent showed a greater increase.
Silage and Alfalfa Hay
Splendid for Dairy Cow
Silage and alfalfa hay form the
*>nsis of a splendid rattan and cows
"ill do fairly well on these feeds alone.
To obtain the best results, however,
sonio grain should be fed. Since there
Is plenty of oats and barley we would
*«ggest a mixture consisting of equal
Purls by weight of ground barley and
Krmind oats, and then feed about one
pound of this mixture for each thr^e
»nd one-half pounds of milk produj-ed.
Soy-bean hay Is nearly equal to al
,lfa Tor feeding the dairy cow. It
* practically the same composition.
Tlie soy bean hay Is a little coarser,

"aste a little mo~e of It than they

“The Lone Wolf” Want*
At End of Career
Chicago.—Death may cheat the
prison bars from which John \V
Worthington, “Wolfge of LaSalle
street” has been fleeing for two year.'.
Broken in health, Worthington is
back in ( hicago, where his frenzied
financial operations bought him mil
lions and a two years sentence in At
lanta. He says he is here to make his
will and to obtain a stay of execution
of sentence so that he may die here.
The results of his life’s labor as
a gambler, broker and finally fugi
tive from justice, are about $2,000,
000, he says. And he wants to keep
this intact.
After tnat is settled, he does not
care if he goes to jail. H < is partly
paralyzed, and came from Mexico, his
last place of refuge, on a stretcher—
the last act, he thinks, of his colortul
career.
He tells a story how, in Mexico,
with federal agents constantly on his
trail, he paid a chief of police $2.i in
gold for a guard of five men, who
worked in eight hour l ifts. They
thought he had 8:100,000 in cash and
securities. He really had, he says, a
million and a half.
Frieds relate how years ago he was
an alderman in Birmingham, Ala., and
president of twenty seven Alabama
banks. Why he left, no one tells. Then
he was head of a bank in Kansas City.
Mo. Once he served thirteen months
in Sing Sing prison.
A $5 bet at a race track started
id To Die In Chicago
That Reads Like Novel,
him amassing money from gambling.
He used the funds to open a broker
age office in Chicago’s financial dis
trict and though often in trouble, was
never convicted. The climax came in
1923, when the government started an
investigation of his operations arid
convicted him on a charge of using the
mails to defraud. He was sentenced
to two years in prison but in January
of this year received a stay because
of ill health. He fled.
In June he was arrested while a pa
tient in a Los Angeles sanatorium. li
was claimed he could not be moved
because of his condition, but he disap
peared again.
Until his dramatic reappearance in
Chicago yesterday when he summoned
his attorney to his hotel, only vague 1
reports of his wnereabouts in Mexico
had been made.
The Herald and Examiner today
prints the details of his will. The
daughter, Alice, known in motion pic
tures as Jane Allen, who aided him in
Los Angeles at the time he went to
Mexico, receives $1,000,000 in securi
ties. The same amount is left to an
other daughter, Mrs. John Rogers, of
Rochelle, N. Y., wife of a New York
broker. She, too, he said, had never
“negiected her father in time of trou
ble.”
To Helen, 10 year old daughter of
Mrs. Rogers, is bequeathed $200,000.
I “She is the pride of my life,” the
newspaper quotes the “Wolf”.
Six sons got $5,000 each. His Los (
Angeles physician, Donald McGibbons, |
pets $25,000.
Physicians say the estimate of a j
few days, placed on his remaining
span of life by Worthington, is nrob- j
ably correct.
He has since entered prison.

MRS GOSSETT ASKS COURT
TO RESTRAIN HUSBAND
Charlotte Observer.
An echo from an Enoch Arden ease
was heard in superior court here yes
terday when Judge James L. Webb
signed an order restraining Albert W.
Gossett, of 162 Formevalt street, At
lanta, from interfering with Mrs.
Ouita Lillian Gossett, 210 North
(Church street.
Gossett is further ordered to appear I
before Judge Webb at Gastonia Oc
tober 20 to show cause why perman
ent relief should not be granted.
Mrs. Gossett charges her husband
with annoying and threatening her and 1
trying to have her discharged from
her employment. She has begun pro
ceedings at Atlanta to annul her mar
riage with him, she affirms,
j The appearance of her first hus
i hand, who she thought dead in Franc-?
I led to the annulment proceedings. The
complaint presented by Mrs. Gossett
! through her attorney, to Judge Webb
| set forth that she was married J.mu
' ary 17, 1922 at Atlanta to Gossett, lat
er learning that her husband Charlie
G. Price, was living. He soon showed
up there and the court action to de
clare void the second marriage was
undertaken. Pending the trial, Super
ior Court Judge Thomas signed an < r •
der to prevent Gossett from molesting I
the woman and when h" ignored the
order he was adjudged in contempt of
court and was imprisoned for a short
time, it is said.
Mrs. Gossett said she moved to
Charlotte and Gossett followed, at
tempting to hove her discharged from
Hotel Charlotte, where she was em
ployed, threatening her employer and
her, the complaint contends. She de
glares a better position was offered
her but she “fears Gossett will carry
out his threat and do her bodily harm
and cause her to lose her position."
Jonas Mentioned For
High Political Post
Lincoln County News.
Hon. C. A. Jonas, of this city, lias
been mentioned as a possible candidate
for the position of North Carolina’s
number of the Republican National
committee which position is now being
held by John J. Parker,, of Charlotte,
who was appointed last Saturday by
President Coolidge as Judge of the
United States circuit court of appeals
for the fourth circuit. Judge Parker
will resign as national committeeman
Tuesday when he returns from
, Richmond.
Marion Butler, long a thorn in the
side of the organization of Republi
cans in this state, is said to have an
eye on the post. However, it is consid
| ered improbable that he has a chance
j to land the place. The appointment, it
; is said, will be made by the national
committee on the recommendation of
the state committee.
Claims Discovery
of Ancient City
In Mitchell County
John R. Bnrlett, of Penland, Mitch
ell county, N. has unearthed some
thing akin to the tomb of King Tut.
In u letter to Senator Overman he has
asked for a government expert to look
into his find.
‘‘I have on my place on Bear creek,
four miles north of here, an ancient
city, uncovered by mining," Mr. Bar
lett wrote. “Would like to have you
give me the names and addresses of
the government geologists who han
dle this kind of matter, and if possi
ble some one who could read the in
scriptions on the engraved rocks. Can
get out samples of the rocks and for
ward them if they wish to see them.
"I have discovered an idol partly
jutting out, with about six feet still in
the ground, with writing on it. This
j should weigh from six to eight tons,
i Two large stones set up north and
I south of this large one, about six
! inches thick, show a lot of writing.
I The best information I can get is that
| this was done from 400 to 600 years
before Christ. These stones are cut
smooth.
“I would like to sell this property,
if it is of any value for the mincrut
there is in it.’’
Senator Overman has taken up the
matter with the Reolojfical survey,
and an investigation will be made.
Department Store Airplane.
Houston Post-Dispatch. ..
With 1: ■ price set at $25,000, the
Fold airplane placed on sale at re
tail by Wanamaker'a in Philadelphia
may still be regarded as a luxury.
Rut the fact that an airplane was
added to the stock of a department
store is evidence enough that a new
era in aerial transportation is at
Mr. Ford first placed his motor car
hand. It will be recalled that when
on the market it sold for more than
twice as much as the present greatly
improved car brings. There is reason
to expect that with quantity produc
tion of airplanes there will be a cor
responding decline in prices, and the
lower prices will stimulate demand
for planes and more widespread use.
The epoch of commercial aviation is
opening. It is not too soon for the
government to begin formulating
regulations for the navigation of air
ships similar to those promulgated
; for water craft, as Mr. Hoover has
suggested.
Night is a good time for sleeping,
but the best time is that which the
baby selects.
A man dropped dead while dancing.
Perhaps that was his idea of dying
happy.
Lacking the real thing, Oklahoma
bankers will use dummy bandits for
target practice.

“The Best Investment
And the Best Security”
HON. JOSEPHUS DANIELS
Ralelf h, N. C.
Former Secretary o< Navy
Hon. Josephus Daniels Makes an
Interesting Statement on Insurant#: /<
“Whenever I have gone into debt—and that haa been
nearly all the time—I have increased the insurance on
my life. It is the best investment, as well as the beat
security, I have.
“Until comparatively recent years, there were very j
few life insurance companies in the Southern States, y)
I am preaching no sectional lines, but I have advocated J
for over a quarter of a'century that the South should $,■
follow New England and the Middle Statea in organizing .a
strong life insurance companies. They have done so, iy
and it is gratifying that the people more and more are j
applying for policies in their homo companies. New 4
Englanders, properly, take out most of their insurance *]
in the New England Companies. Southerners take theirs f
in Southern Companies. •
“I regard a policy in the Pilot Life Insurance Com
pany just as solid, and safe, and certain as a policy in
any big company in the biggest city in America.” A

Insure Your “Power to Earn**
r
t With thoughtful people, income insurance
is taking the place of life insurance. You
may live to be ninety, but your povcer to
j tarn may be cut off tomorrow, through ac
* cident or sickness. Although 64 men out
of every 100 live to be 65, only 10 of them
arc still self-supporting. So it is one's power
to earn that should be insured rather than
one’s length of life.
I
A pioneer Southern company, the Pilot,
of Greensboro, N. C., is writing the most *
complete modern line of personal protec- $
tion, so arranged that when ability to earn ,*<
is cut off, by invalidism, accidental injury
or old age, premiums cease, and the policy
pays you a stated income. In case of death,
a lump sum or monthly income is paid to *,J
the beneficiary, . w —
Safe and Progressive
Over 20 years old, the Pilot company is
absolutely safe, but always progressive. It
