'|" ISLAND FARM GUERNSEYS NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 28—Six- teen head of Island Farm Guernseys { owned by G. G. Hartley of Duluth, ? Minnesota, ‘have cleaned the boards in that breed at the National dairy ~Shéw here. This herd carries to ‘ \rwthetn Minnesota the senior and grand championship on females and the greatly prized “‘premier winnér” ‘banner, which is awarded to the ex- hibitor who wins the greatest number of prizes. In addition there goes home with this famous buneh sof cattle two silver cups a gsecc;l'd‘ banner, five first prizes, six Second prizes and five thirds, together with a large number of léss important placings and seven hundred and twenty-six dollars in money. Bella Second du Grand Fort is . the new National grand champion Guernsey cow, owned by Island Farm. Coming undefeated from nine previous shows this season, she met new competition from the east- ern and middle western states but outclassed them all with her remark- able type and quality. She is a daughter . of Princess Jewel and - therefore a direct descendant of the great English cow Rose of Gold, a noted' prize winner over England in - the ninties. Competing breeders are showering congratulations on the representa- f has made so highly successful an initial entrance at the National, the court of last appeal for the circuits in America. The Island Farm herd has been on the road continuously since July 15 when it began its cicuit at the North Dakota state fair and has scored important victories at 9 shows before coming to the National, including Missouri, Jowa, Minnesota, Wiscon- tives of this mid-western herd which sin, Illinois and Indiana joint fair and the Waterloo dairy cattle con- gress. Particular credit is reflected on the farm management by the fact that 14 of these 16 prize animals were bred at Island Farm, proof of constructive breeding of high order. Another interestinig fact is that 12 of the herd are the product of the 2 leading herd sires, 7 being sons and daughters of the neted May Rose sire Beda’s May King and 5 the get of Gold Lassie’s Julian, the young Glenwood-Starlight bull, bred at Is- {land, who has a number of this sea- son’s grand championships to his credit. The first 4 daughters of this prize-winning 5-year old to come in- to milk are making production records which are attracting wide attention and rumor in show circles here today has it that the Island Farm has refused a very handsome offer for Gold Lassie’s Julian but has agreed to his rental for six months to a prominent Illinois breeder. Beda’s May King, admittedly the | greatest living son of Imported May Rose King, purchased from the Dela- ware state agricultural college by |the Island Farm, was not included in the show herd, being 11 years old, but his seven sons and daughters, conspicuously uniform and of ex- cellent type, took several hundered doilars in prize money. Bred in the {purple of May Rose blood as they are, these winnings make them large assets for Island Farm. | With a total of nearly $4,000 in | prize money for its show season the {herd ships to Minnesota tonight in |charge of the young veteran of the gz\m&-rican and English show circuits, | Walter D.

Some night when its cold and dark. There will be a rustling through the front line trench, where our boys stand guard. And a heavy ladened Secrstary will make his way along. In his hands will be great steaming pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga- rettes. From one man to another he will go, passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke. Men will hail him cheerily, slapping | him on the back; and when he has gone things will be a little easier in that trench because he has passed that way. How much will it cost to make that trip, do you suppose?. Counting the pittance that the Secretary is paid, and the cost of the chocolate and the ciga- rettes and all? Five dollars? - Twenty-five dollars? I do not know. 3 But whether it is five dollars or twenty-five, I'd like. to think that it is my five or twenty-five—wouldn’t you? That some night when it’s cold and lone- some, my money and yours might send a Secretary out along that frontlinetrench. Let’s make up our minds that we are going to pay for a score of those trips. A score of the nights this winter shall be our nights o —nights when the boys greet joy- ously the chocolate and ‘cigarettes that our money provided; and are happier -~ because our representative has passed. the Service ENGINE TAKES LIFE OF M. & I EMPLOYE A man named Andrew Miller, a laborer in the employ of the M. & L railway in the yards near the round- house, was knocked down and run over by a switch engine this morning. was terribly mutilated.
