The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.

what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
set the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to

are soft and undeveloped, a

OFFICERS HAVE BATTLE WITH THREE
MEN WHO FIERCELY RESIST ARREST

Three men. thought TO be ex-con-
Victs, resisting arrest. made a desper-
ate assault upon Officer Lincoln at the
Rio Grande Western station last night.
but two were finally overpOwered and
landed in the city Jail.
The men were peddling fake jew
elry at the station, and by their curious
actions aroused the suspicious Of
Nightwatchman Frank Hughes, who
notified the police department. Lincoln
was detailed to arrest the men. He pro-
eeeded to the station, where the men
We're caught in the act of disposing of
their wares. They were informed Of
their arrest, but refused to submit.
Making a dash for the officer, two of
the men closed in on him. the other
keeping off until needed. Lincoln seized
both men by their collars and held
them at bay until Nightwatchman
Hughes arrived on the scene. Still
graphing with the two men, Lincoln
told the other officer TO hold the third.
Leaving his comrades TO their fate,
the man dashed down the tracks and
Hughes opened fire. He missed his
mark. and the man passed out of view
before another shot could be sent after
his retreating figure. Headquarters was
notified of the arrest and the wagon
