Camden, 8. c;, Friday, July 24, 1923 KEFl'HKI) $5,000 FOR CALF Mother of Calf Produced $600 Worth of Butter in Year (Progressive Farmer) There may have been a time when all bulls were scrubs and boars, roosters, and rams were scrubs, too. We don't know. Hut we do know that as man has progressed' higher and higher, he has made plants and animals advance along with him. One of the ma'h.v evidences of the development that we find right herj in our midst is that wonderful cham pion cow, Sensation's Mikado's Millie, owned by Mr, Fred H. Young of Tim motisville, S. C. Far down the line of Millie's ancestors, her many-times removed grandmother produced barely enough milk for one calf. Millie produces enough for ten or a dozen calves. But let's st?e- what distinction Mil lie has in addition to being a great producer of mijk and .butter. What are hertoons and daughters worth? Mr. Young, according to the South Carolina press, has refused $5,000 for a bull calf of Millie's? a calf drop ped before her record was establish ed. Of course, this offer came from someone who not only knows the rec ord of this wonderful cow but also knows that her great performance could not have been possible without the cumulative inheritance of per formance. The good of Millie's an cestors- is concentrated in her. The poor hat> been eliminated by avoiding it. With selection, mating, feeding, and care, Millie may some day have a daughter or a granddaughter that will smash another world's record and Millie's own record, too. Milliu is just one of nature's steps to some thing higher and better. If this bull calf of Millie's had been sired by a scrub bull, would anyone have offered $5,000 for it? sNo? The ca!f would have been kill ed to .save the milk he would con sume.. He wpuld have been a lia bility, not an asset. Only a purebred registered bull could have sired this calf which i? valued at more than $5,000. Millie produced $000 worth of butter in one year, in addition to the $5,000 calf. We are wondering what Millie is worth and if she has not an earn ing power K'eater than that of most farmers. It's a pretty good farmer who makes $">,000 in a rear, or even half of it. , Of course, not all of us can ex pect to own cows like Millie, but many of us can own cow? two to ten times better than the cows w< now have. Tin- fir.st step in t hi ~ direction is to <io away with tin scrub bull, the miserable and w ? ? i - than u*e'e*-? animal that - "all bone.

(Adv.) > ; ' CORIUTT fcAW OFFIC ERS I . ? ' WunhiiiKton Officials Italieve .Many in League With liootlexger* , , - ? Washington, July 18. ?Startling evidence of corruption of public of ficials in enforcement of the pro hibition law has been submitted to Attorney General Sargent by United States attorneys In virtually every section of the country, it became known today. Many officials, federal, state, county and municipal, catering to public opinion -aid to be adverse to the Volstead act, are winking at vio lation's or are In actual league with the rum trust, according to infor mation. Reports from the United StateH attorneys will be turned over to Gen. L. C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the treasury, to guide him in his reorganization of the prohibition system, it was learned. ? As a result, according to the re port, hundreds of agents and offi cials will be dropped when the re organization of the prohibition sys tem is made public. Officials inti mated that charges may be preferred against many. Sargent sent questionnaires to all United States attorneys to obtain an inside picture of the prohibition enforcement situation. They were asked to submit the names and num ber of alleged crooked officials, both federal and otherwise; the attitude of public officials on the V'olsteacf act; the names aoui nddrr^M of known -violators of the law and the efctent of political pressure against enforcement. More than 40 district attorneys have replied, it was understood. Many of them attributed the lack of enforcement effectiveness to unfav orable public opinion. Difficulty of enforcement by a #smatl force of agents i it the face of alleged wide spread unpopularity of the law in some districts was pointed out. Faulty preparation of prohibition cases was held responsible for num erous cases where bootleggers or con spirators have not been convicted in the courts. This Was attributed, first, to ignorance of legal methods on the part of agent's and, second, to influ ence brought to bear by bootleggers. Evidence and witnesses were said to disappear frequently before the pre sentation of eases in the courts, ac cording to the attorneys. OVKR-II ANfj?IN(i LOADS Mcfiow'an To Enforce Law Regarding Trucks Columbia, July 22.? Samuel Mc Gowun, chief state highway commis sioner, ha> announced that to .curW the practice- of motor trucks carrying over-hanging loads, henceforth the 'law limiting the maximum width of motor vehicle" will be strictly en forced. The law provides that it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or cor poration to operate over the highways <>r bridges any motor vehicle, the maximum width of which, or the load it carries, exceeds seven and one-half feet. fhe chief commissioner stated that it has been noted that many motor tiuck? carry loads with considerable over-hang and the practice consti tutes a danger to passing motorists.

X 4 ' THIS WEEK By Arthur Bmban* Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub lished a? expressions of opinions of the world's highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle doe* not ? necessarily endorse all of his views and conclusions. Disapprove* Coolidgf^y England dislikes President Cool idge Fourth of July address and says there ,is nothirig in it to "show that the president has tried to master the facts concerning Europe/' That, however, isn't what interests the United States. The president has mastered facts concerning this coun try. lie has mastered the fact that when you leifd money you expect to get it back. And he seems to have mastered the fact that the business of the United States and of? the president is to attend to the United States and keen out of foreign complications. That suits the United States. A little gill of seven set fire to six houses and was sent to an indus trial school for correction. Not long ago this child would have been punished with death, perhaps by burning, first being encouraged to denounce the "witch" whose evil spirits had compelled her to jet the fires.

Suppose the rich est country in the world would run its ships without extravagant frills, brass bands, etc., and allow school teachers, high school and college stu dents to go to Europe and back at cost, or, better still, free of cost. How much would it'be worth to this nation to have 25,000 teachers and young students see and study Europe every year? Hut nothing of that kind could be done. It would be "pater nalism." Very Nice (Jirl Wanted A rich man named Browning 3eeks "a pretty refined girl fourteen years old, for adoption." He has one adopt ed daughter and wants another to keep her company. He will give the adopted girl every Opportunity, edu cation, travel, kindness, care, love." Of course he will, all perhaps ex cept opportunity. Opportunity to eat, dress, travel and live free of work is not opportunity. What would Rosa Bonheur have amounted to had a rich man adopted her..
