I found out the need of purebred cows in order to get the best results.” “Changed to better rations and tester found some boarders.” “I can now feed more and feed according to production and know just what I am doing.

BRYAN NAME TO STAY IN POLITICS I fe Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owens, Daughter Os Late Commoner, To Seek Office By Richard C. Wilson, i United Press Staff Correspondent I,'nocln, Neb., April 9.—Politics—which kept the family name of Bryan in the limelight for St) years through the activities of the late William Jennings Bryan — wilt continue to keep that name before the public. Announcement of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen at Miami, Fla., that she will become a candidate for congress from the Fourth Florida district is looked upon here, the home of the Bryans for many years, as meaning the commoner’s daughter will follow her father's footsteps. The late Commoner shaped his colorful political career during a term as congressman from Nebraska. Mrs. Owen, like her late father, is a talented orator. She has performed on the professional stage for several years as an elocutionist. She is also a popular Women's club speaker. With the advent ct women into national politics now a reality, her local ■ friends forsee her as a national women’s political leader. Simultaneous with Mrs. Owen's advent into politics, Charles W. Bryan, her uncle, enters the campaign for the governorship of Nebraska. He is expected to arrive in Lincoln tomorrow from Florida to open his campaign for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. Bryan served one term as governor of Nebraska, giving up his chances of re-election to accept the democratic vice-presidential nomination in the 1924 election. Should Bryan be successful in his race for governor local political leaders expressed belief today that he will use his gubernatorial success as a stepping stone to bidding for the national political prestige, such as his late brother enjoyed for three decades. o Fire In California Oil Tank Continues To Burn Los Angeles.
