AMERICAN INTEREST

Cows on Jacob Ruppert By the last American mail which reached Wellington on Monday, Mr. Edgar F, Cox, a member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, whose duty it is to tend to the three purebred Guernsey cows on board the Jacob Ruppert, received a letter written in characteristic American fashion from Mr. Elsworth Bunch, of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, Peterboro, New Hampshire. “I cannot tell you how glad I was to get your letter,” Mr. Bunch wrote, “and believe me, we are all holding our thumbs for you and those three Guernsey cows. If we get you and the three cows back again, and the calf, we will go on a tour that would make Lindberg’s a mere memory. “J just want to tell you that there are 20,000 Guernsey breeders saying, ‘make that touch down.’ Besides the 20,000 Guernsey breeders my secretary, who is writing this letter, is saying the same thing. She says she will give you a kiss if you bring that calf back. That’s something to look forward to. I know!”
