Champion of The Jerseys
Gives Het' Body to Science
, Sophie 19th, Best Milk Pro
ducer, Now in Labora
tory
BELTSVILE, Md., Aug. 5.
Even in death, Sophie 19th, famous
Jersey champion, has given herself
over to science.
After nearly 20 years of service
in milk and butter production, dur
ing which time she held many cham
pionships, Sophie was slaughtered
recently on the government farm
here, in the presence of many scien
tists interested in the study and im
provement of domestic animals. She
was a member of the famous Jersey
herd at Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.
But, killed because of old age,
Sophie is still useful to science. Her
body has been the object of study
by scientists of the Department of
Agriculture.
Their special search is confined
to high-yielding dairy cows, to see
if there is some relationship be
tween the sizes of their organs and
their productivity. Also a new ba
sis for judging dairy cattle may be
developed.
During her lifetime Sophie pro
duced nearly 100 tons of milk and
almost five tons of butter. At the
age of seven years she produced
999 pounds of 'butterfat, which
means about 1200 pounds of blitter
in one ybar.
From January, 1914, to Novem
ber, 1918, she was world champion
Jersey and as late as 1920, when
she was very old so ra cow, she was
eighth highestrmilk producer of the
breed.

that were coming.

Robert Fetner Has Interesting
Experience in Havana Where
He Is Consulate Clerk
Copies of the Havana Post receiv
ed in Americus today tells of the
interesting experience of Robert
Fetner, an Americus boy who is now
attached to the American consulate
in that city. Under the ‘Passing
Throng” heading un» newspaper has
the following to say of young Fet
ner and his interview with a fair
senor.ta there a few days ago:
“Efforts of Americans to talk
Spanish after having picked up sev
eral dozen words are always a
source of amusement to the “aplan
tadps” Americans who forget their
early difficulties, but the Stroper is
wondering what a Cuban senorita
who was disporting herself at the
beach the other day thinks of a
young American who brushed calm
ly up and asked her name with
out meaning to do so.
“The American is Robert H.
Fetner, a new clerk at the consulate,
whose studious efforts in the few
weeks he has been here have en
grained many Spanish words on his
, brain, but as yet has not rhown him
how to use them. Besides the
study of Spanish he has an ear for
music and he had been intrigued
by the tune of one of the Cuban
songs he had often heard since h.s
arrival, and was determined to know
its name so he could get a copy.
“Hearing the senorita bumming it
at the beach, Fetner marched bold
ly up to her and sought to inquire
the name of the song. Now, he
Snows that “nombre” means ‘name”
and he also had learned that the
little Spanish word *su” means “his,
hers, its, theirs”; so why not use it
in this case for “its” ?
“Anyway, he did, and what he
said to. the young lady was ’Su Norn
bre?” She looked rathe surprised,
but he repeated the words firmly
but politely, and so she replied ‘Esp
eranza.” It took a couple of'repeti
tions for Fetner to understand
Esperanza,” he then said ‘Gracias,”
bowed and walked off, and rejoin
ing a friend said he had at last
found out the name of the song. H>
learned later amid much laughter
that he had asked the young lady
her name and that she hsd brushed
aside the rigid Cuban etiquette and
had told h(m. The Stroller, how
ever, does not know just what tl:o
senor.ta thinks about: me young
American who calmly asked her
name, said thanks, bowed politely
and then ran off and left her.”

Affair to Be Only a ‘Demonstra
tion of Mobilization Plans,’
War Secretary Says
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—Assur
ances that the army’s defense test
project, scheduled for Sept. 12,
‘should meet with the approval of
all except possiby those who are
opposed to any defense against ex
ternal aggression” is contained in a
letter sent by Secretary Weeks to
clergymen who have inquired aS to
the purposes and nature of the
test.
“Nothing will be done on that
day to alarm any sincere Atrwrican
citizen,” Mr. Weeks said. “The
event will not be a general mobili
zation. Our military establishment
will not be .increased for an instant
on Sept. 12.
“The ‘Defense Test’ will be only
a demonstration of mobilization
plans. It will be an endeavor on
the part of the Federal Government
to inform our people as fully as
possible on the present status of
our security. Our whole purpose is
to present to our country the new
citizen army of the United States
and to indicate what action would
have to be taken in a national emer
gency by our individual citizens,
and by communities, if our country
is to be defended sdc«cssfully.
“The simple demonstration plan
ned might be compared to a fire
drill in a school for the safety of
jthe children.
‘We are able to take this forward
step because olir plans are purely
for defense, and their object for
peace. .
“Insofar as there is any founda
tio nfor the assumption that people
are frequently induced to warlike
acts without realizing the conse
quences' of those acts, the ‘De
fense Test’ will be a precautionary
measure. Every one will be made
awdre of the sacrifices which war
will require of him.
“The ‘Defense Test,’ on the other
hand, will apprise the world as
words never can of our friendly pur
poses asa nation. Ttey will see
that we have neither a standing
army of half-amillion men, like
some of the great nations, nor com
pulsory military army, i einforced
only by citizens who have under
taken to prepare themselves volun
tarily for service to their country in
the event of war.
“I woud like to emphasize that I
tim striving for peace and that in
common with all Americans I de
sire it most sincerey. My observa
tion has brought the conviction that
such is also the purpose of General
Pershing, and of al members of tne
army of the United States. But un
preparedness has never prevented
war, and the only result of our
peace-time nonchalance has been
increased losses and hardships to
those of our citizens who rrallied to
the defense of the nation.”

Prof. Bleyer Says Public Opinion
Jn This Country is Taken

MADISON, Wis., Aug. s.—De
velopment and cultivation of a
newspaper reading public which will
recognize news as of more impor
tance than the society column, the
sporting page and the funny strip,
is one of the main duties of the fu
ture newspaper, in the opinion of
Prof. W. G. Bleyer, director of
journalism at the University of
Wisconsin.
Newspapers should be read and
taught in the public schools of the’
nation, and the youth instructed in
reading news and determining what
is best to read, Prof. Bleyer said.
“Democratic government depends
upon public opinion and public opin
ion, as we know it today, is mainly
taken from the newspapers,” Mr.
Bleyer stated. “If the purpose of
education is to train the youth of
the nation in citizenship, the study
of the newspaper should have a
prominent part in our public
schools.
“Newspaper reading today is not
taken as a serious part of the indi
vidual s daily life. On the whole,
the individual devotes at least thirty
minutes a day to the newspaper,
this is the weakness of our modern
(lemocracy. We do not digest the
facts, w e swallow them too hurried

a new generation of newspaper read

“The public should be taught to

through that influence, even the
