THE FITZGERALD LEADER
PLAIN ‘WORKING GIRL'
COW WINS DISTINCTION
l
AT DETROIT DAIRY snowl
A plain “working girl” cow has
won the distinction of being thei
champion grade Holstein of the
United States, and net:only hag made l
‘a remarkdble milk production record
in her own class, but has almost
doubled the annual milk record of
the average aristocrat in Cow Testing
Associations—known in the dairy
world as the purebred. This cow is
Larrobelle, crowned queen of the
Holstein grades at the National Dairy
Show just closed in Detroit. 1
Four years ago this champion was
nameless and unknown—just one of
a carload of ordinary cows purchased‘l
in New York state by James E. Lar-i
rowe of Detroit for experimental pur
poses on his Research Farm. When%
‘taken to the farm this cow had what
dairy experts call good conformation.
‘That was the best that could be said
of her as she was in poor condition
‘and weighed but 985 pounds. She
‘now weighs 1200. The future cham
pion cost only $125. The experts on
}the Research Farm did not think
much of her as material for building
up a big producer, but when Mr. Lar
rowe was looking over his herd he
discovered that this Holstein by
proper feeding and treatment had de
veloped into a wonderful cow. Her
official cow testing records showed
that last year she produced 13,032
pounds of milk, containing 481
pounds of butterfat—more than ten
times her weight in milk. During
‘the four years she had been on the
farm she produced 47,572 pounds of
milk, or an average of 11,893 pounds
a ‘year. Her best lactation period
was 17,821 pounds in' 360 days. It
iwas pointed out by Mr. Larrowe that
the average grade cow in Cow Test
ing Associations produces only 6,261
pounds a year, while the annual pro
duction of the average purebred is
7182 pounds.

A Great Week Ahead
STR e e :
__ Say, Folks, next. week is a,busy, one for you-miwo great events will oc
cupy your attention, and they are worth while. First,.and first only, be
cause-.they .start.-Monday, the Community Band expects you without fail
to patronize their shows for the entire week. The Band has and will fur
nish you free concerts, play at your entertainments and receptions of nota
bles the year around but the coming week they expect your dimes and
quarters at their tent shows, getting twenty cents out of every dollar you
spend with them. Of course we do not know just how good the shows may
be, but the fact that two ministers are on the Band committee who passed
on the shows, is guarantee, or ought to be, that the shows are all right.
But it’s not the shows that really count—it’s your attendance that we will
look for in appreciation of the Band’s effert. Remember the entire week—
Next comes the Style Shows of the Parent Teachers Association. These
patriotic women have worked for years for the betterment of your schools
and will continue to do so, but they need some funds to entertain the Dis
trict Convention of the P.-T. A., which convenes here on the 11th. So they
have prepared a special attractive feature for Wednesday and Thursday at
the Opera House, under a liberal arrangement with Manager Ricker.
The elite of the town, the prettiest and most attractive maidens will don
the latest fashions and appear for your approval on the stage each after
noon and evening. Wednesday afternoon and evening Frank Lee and Abe
Kruger will furnish the Fashions, lately shown on Broadway—the same in
styles and quality but festooned on models that Broadway cannot match.
Thursday the Majors Company, Alex Kruger and Phil Halperin will fur
nish the draperies for the models, direet from Parisian artists.
For the usual fine pictures and the extra fine program, see it elsewhere
in this issue, and for the best cause of the season, don’t fail to answer the
roll call at each performance—something different at every show.

Returns From Detroit
Live Stock Show
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Dorminey re
turned from Detroit where they at

took sick during his visit and did not
get the full opportunity to mingle

WOMAN'’S CLUB NOTES
The Woman’s club met on Wednes
day afternoon, October 20th, at the
usual hour in the club rooms.
The program for the afternoon was
in observance of National Art Week,
the subject being, “Art In the
Home,” with Miss Athleen Rhorer as
leader. -
A Victrola selection, “To a Wild
Rose,” by MacDowell, was the open
ing number. This was followed by a
most interesting dnd instructive
“General Discussion on Art in the
Home.” given by Mrs. A. S. Rogers.
She took us o na fictitious journey
through a home hung with pictures.‘
For each room she suggested appro
priate subjects and mentioned the
proper framing and hanging of the
various types of pictures.
In her pleasing way, Miss Grace
Benton sang a beautiful arrangement
of Joyce Kilmer's poem, “Trees.”
“What the Home-maker Should
Know About Pictures,” a paper by
Mrs. C. M. Wise, reminded us of the
influence pictures in the home have
on the family and cautioned us to
choose inspirational subjects to adorn
our walls.
Many people deplore the influence
of the comic strip, but Miss Athleen
Rhorer in her talk, “How Can We
Overcome the Influence of the Comic
Strip,” suggested that we do not de
nounce it but use it and commercial
art as stepping stones leading to our
appreciation of higher art.
At the business session of the meet
ing the following matters were taken
up: |
The club members were urged to
. vote at the November election for the
- ratification of the constitutional
amendment regarding the preserva

man’s club. ‘
Announcement was made that our
club is to start in the near future a
movement to stamp out illiteracy in |
Ben Hill county. |
Mrs. J. E. Turner brought to the
attention of the club the advantage‘
of that portion of the Dixie Highway
within the dity presenting an attrac-‘
tive 'appearance to tourists and the
need for cleaning up and beautifying
that street. Acting upon her sug
gestion, the president asked the
Highway committee to confer with‘
the civic committee upon this matter.
A motion requesting the club mem
bers to cooperate with the merchants,
in their early closing hour was car

The October meeting of the Ben
Hill Chapter U. D. C. was marked
by a brilliant address given by Mrs.
E. J. Dorminy on Friday afternoon
in the club rooms over the Carnegie
Library at which time she unfolded
in a charming manner the “Life of
Jefferson Davis,” the illustrious war
time president of the storm-tossed
'Confederate States of America. It
was indeed a rare privilege to have
been present and hear this scholarly
and timely address on one who was
so well qualified to fill the eminent
‘position which President Davis held
for four years.
“A Round Table” discussion con
ducted by Mrs. J. E. Turner followed
and many points of interest were
brought to light concerning the
' South’s great President who was a
soldier, a scholar, a statesman and a
Christian.
Mesdames J. E. Turner and E. A.
Russell had arranged the program
for the afternoon and two inspiring
songs were sung at the opening. “The
Star Spangled Banner” and ‘“Mary
land My Maryland.” Mrs. Humbert
Watson led in prayer and a closing
number, “Love’s old Sweet-Song”
was beautifully sung by Mrs. Gould
Williams accompanied by Mrs. Roy
Graham on the piano. Mrs. J. E.
Turner presented the program.
The business meeting was conduct
ed by the president, Mrs. Humbert
Watson. The minutes of the last two
meetings were read by the Secretary,
Mrs. Chester Strickland. These min
utes were found correct and ap
proved. ;
