left, and other notables. Tills picture of the royal wedding was
flown to Rome, telephotoed to London, and thence radiophotoed to
United States. Pope Pius XI withheld recognition of the rites be-
cause King Zog, a Moslem by faith, while his wife is a Catholic,
refused to pledge that any children the couple might have would be

Reich, the couple was married
twice.
First held was a civil service
at the Potsdam registrar’s office. Jerry Green, Mrs. Eva Harbison
A religious ceremony, accord-

WASHINGTON, May 2, (INS)—
Warning that “ we must act quick
if we are going to save America,”
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of
New York today demanded that
Congress create a special com-
mittee to draft a permanent re-
covery program for enactment at
a special session next fall.
While endorsing President
Roosevelt’s $4,712,000,000 lend-
and-spend proposals, LaGuardia
declared they must be regarded
as only temporary relief and not
a permanent solution.
“We’ve got to get the best minds
of the nation to work on this and
we've got to do it damn quick,"
the fiery little mayor told the
House appropriations committee.

Work of demolishing
George Lilienstern I ”'
the corner of North Jefferson
Avenue and West Third Street
was started Monday morning
under the direction of the con-
tractor, W. T. Bankhead, when
the carpenters began tearing out
the partitions of the offices in the
second story of the structure.
The entire upper portion of the
present building will be torn
away, leaving only the walls of
the ground floor, on which new
masonry will be placed. Prac-
tically everythin^ else will be
removed in the construction of
the new building, which will be
of the latest design, and which
will be built for the accommoda-
tion of the big stock of merchan-
dise to be installed by Beall
Brothers, and for a number of
office suites on the second floor.
This will be one of the biggest
private construction projects Mt.
Pleasant has seen for many years,
and w ill compare with the new
Martin Theatre in cost. No item
of convenience for the tenants
w’ill be overlooked in the new
building, which will be one that
will add much to the appearance
of the entire business section.
Concerns which have had offi-
- T
temporarily located at other
places. J. A. Ward and Old &
Lilienstern moved to the Ellis
building some time ago. Hiram
| G. Brown has moved to the Lacy
building; Frank Simis city col-
lector, is located with W. B.

Jewel Daughtry, field man for
the Titus County Dairy Herd Im-
provement Association, announc-
es compilation of figures for the
first six months of operation of
this association, which should be
of much interest to everybody
engaged in the production of
milk for sale. (
In October of last year, there
were 135 cows in the association
which produced 41,353 pounds of
milk, 2,136.1 pounds of butter
fat at a value of $965.78.
During April, there were 162
cows, which produced 79,973
pounds of milk, 3,519 pounds of
butter fat, valued at $1,618.73,
With 27 more cows, the volume
of milk increased 38,620 pounds,
almost as much as the 135 were
producing last fall, and the but-
ter fat increased 1,382.9 pounds
for a value of $652.95, or 66.47
per cent.
The average for all cows show-
ed an increase of butter fat pro-
duction of 5.9 per cent, and an
average profit of $479.34.
According to Mr. Daughtrey, as
a dairyman culls out his low pro-
ducers, his cost of feed per cow
increases, but at the same time,
his income above feed costs al-
so increases, but in higher pro- ■
portion.
The best cow in the associa-
tion made the following record:
Pounds of milk; 2,516; pounds but
ter fat, 175.5; value, $90.70; feed
cost, $26.82; profit, $63.89,
The average per cow was:
Pounds of milk, 2,077; pounds
butter fat, 106; value, $52.25; feed
cost, $22.78; profit, $29.47.
It took $4.04 more to feed the
best cow, yet she made $34.42
more profit above feed cost than
did the average cow. Records will
show which cows are producing
at a profit, and which are not.
Titus county dairymen have
culled 17 cows because of low
production during the six months
time. One herd owner by cull-
ing five low producing cows was
able to increase the milk pro-
duction in his herd from 363
pounds of mdk to 558 pounds of
milk per month, per cow.
The average pounds of butter-
fat was increased from 18.4
pounds to 26.1 pounds of butter-
fat.
One member has found that by
feeding each cow in his herd ac-
cording to her individual pro-
duction he was able to save $14.91
in a month’s time on his feed cost.
A jury composed of milk scales,
Babcock testing machine, herd
record book and D. H. I. A. tester
—will find the cows in your herd
guilty of low production and will
help you cull such cows from
your herd.
Titus County D. H, I. A. mem-
bers are planning on showing
some of their cows at the Mt.
Pleasant Dairy Show May 26th.

MARSHFIELD. Mass., (INS)—-
At least 9,000 “blessed events”
are predicted for this town in
1938.
The expected arrivals, how-
ever, will be pheasants, and their
place of birth will be what has
been termed the most modern
and efficient game-bird brooder
house in America.
Superintendent Lysander Sher-
man of the local state game bird
farm, designer and construction
supervisor of the new building,
is authority for the prediction a
record crop of 9,000 pheasants
will be raised within its walls.
• Lyscander based the predict on
on the fact that his breed ng
flock of 400 mated pheasa its
started producing eggs unus-
ually early this year.

John W. O’Leary, chairman of
the chamber executive commit-
tee, sounded the opening key-
note, telling the some 2,500 dele-
gates representing billions of dol-
lars in business and industry that
this country Mas drifted into an
County1 “execess of centralization.” This
condition, he insisted, must be
remedied before sound prosperi-
ty can come to the United States.
O’Leary’s address preceded an

Construction operations for the
second unit of Mt. Pleasant’s new
water system was begun Monday
morning at the site of the dam
for the big city lake, approxi-
mately three-fourths of a mile
northwest of the old lake and the
site of the filtration plant.
Mayor Ben Patrick drove the
first stake in the process of
working out the grades and lev-
els for the new dam, which is
to be built on land purchased
from M. J. Wallace, and actual
dirt moving is expected to begin
at once and continue until the
project is rushed to completion.
Forms were also being built
Monday morning for the sluice
gates to be placed in the dam so
that a continued flow of water
will be assured for property own-
ers downstream from the lake on
Hays’ Creek, as their riparian
rights must be respected by the
city after the water is impound-
ed in the huge lake, which will
form Mt. Pleasant’s new water
supply.
Preliminary work was
started Monday morning in the
placing of pipes and valves for
the filters at the new plant, and
it is expected that this portion
of the big project will be com-:
pleted in time for Mt. Pleasant I
people to have pure, filtered wa-
ter not later than June first.
