Inaugural Ball at Pension Building.
To the Editor OF The Star:

IL Inc IuitpF VI uc SUIT
The friends of President-elect Will
son will do him a great favor if they will
correct the impression he has received
that the use of the pension Office build
ing for the inaugural ball will cost the
nine-tenths fiction. This alleged cost is
made up largely by estimating the value
of clerical services that will be discon-
tinued during the time the office will be
used for the ball and concerts. The truth
is the work of the pension Office will be
performed during this fiscal year for the
appropriation that has been made by
Congress whether the ball is held there
or omitted. This cry of economy is made
with poor grace by many of the men who
advocate having the government pay all
the expenses of the inauguration. If
there is any real expense incurred by the
government on account of the use OF
the pension Office building ii will only
be equivalent to a small rental for a
suitable place in which to hold that demo-
cratic social event.
To omit the ball will be a blow by po-
litical democracy to true democracy. If
the ball is held it will be the most con-
spicuouS, if not the only, occasion during
the coming administration when the citi-
Zens from all sections of the country can
come here and. without special invitation,
join in a social function that Will give
them opportunity to see their Presi-
dent, and rub elbows with the great and
the near-great. 1t should not be forgot
ten that the ball is given to the lncom-
ing President rather than to any particu-
lar person. The advisory guardians Of
the peoples money on Capitol Hill in this
instance are attempting to extend their
guardianship to money proposed to be
spent by the people themselves. as the
price of admission paid by the partici-
pants cover the expenses
The men who are advising President
elect Wilson to omit the ball are those to
whom the White House and it's social
functions will be open by special invita-
ton and without the necessity on their
part of paying any admission fee, SO that
their disinterestedness in advising that
the democratic bali be not held can read
lily be understood.

|NEQUESTR|AN EVENTS
Distinguished Audience Pres
ent at First of Series of
Entertainments.

A distinguished audience was present In
the clubs riding hall at ODD and streets
northwest last night to witness the first
of a series of entertainments to be given
by the Riding and Hunt Club of Wash
ingtOn.
The program included jumping contests,
an exhibition drill by Troop c. 10th cav
airy. stationed at Fort Myer, Va;
game of lieu de barre an obstacle race
for the employees of the club and riding
events.
The game of lieu de barre" was the
most exciting feature of the entertain
ment, the contestants being Miss jean
cite Allen. Miss Mildred Greble and Miss
Grace Herman. Miss Allen was the win
ner of the event, having captured two
ribbons to Miss Greble's one and none for
Miss Herman.
Also Wins Jumping Event.
Miss Allen also was the winner of a
jumping event in which there were six
teen entries. She was mounted on
Katydid. Lieut.. E. ST. j. Greble, jr., who
won second place. was mounted on his
Prince Henry. The yellow ribbon was
won by Miss Mildred Greble on Dan.
Another thriller on the program was a
steeplechase in which the riders OF the
club appeared on the horses of two of
the members, J. II. de Sihour and r..
Golden Donaldson. and two mounts
owned by the club Mr.. Donaldson s
Naughty Miss Won the event.
AS a relief from the strain of the con-
tests and as touch of hnmor came the
obstacle foot race between the employees
of the club. In this event Henry Miles,
colored, showed better form in limb than
in generalship and. stacking up in the
fourth lap, when the contest was all hut
won, lost out to r. George Bull. one of
the clubs riders. Money prizes for this
event had been donated by Mrs. Robert
Means Thompson, and the three winners

Katydid, belonging to Miss Helen Buch-
amman. and Daisy, belonging to Miss L.

Daniels Wants Number of chapIains
Increased.
Newport News, Va.-Neglect of reli-
gion by the United States In its navy
is reproach to the republic, Secretary
Daniels declared here in an address be-
fore the United Brotherhood Of Mems
Bible Glasses. The secretary aRnounc-
ed that he would ask congress imme-
diately to provide chaplains and well
fare secretaries proportionate to the
navy's personnel.
Twenty-four chaplains, he said, are
all that the government now provides
to look after the religious welfare of
the navy's $1,000 men, the number of
chaplains not having been increased
since 1912, when the personnel of the
navy numbered only 10000 men.
The secretary added that more than
seventy-five important ships in the
navy have no religious leader attached,
while the marine corps, with an enlist
ment of 1926 men, has not a single
chaplain to look after the spiritual de-
velopment of its personnel.

not suffer from the same comparison
as in times when feed is scarce. The
scarcer the feed the better the cow
should be; the better the cow the
greater use she makes of her feed and
the greater will be the profit there
from. The COW, after all, supplies only
"a market for the feed she consumes.
The first toll she eXactS is that of sup
porting herself. After this is done
ahen the value she gives for the feed
Dis measured by the amount of milk
produced.
While this is the most trying year,
from the feed standpoint, Kansas has
experienced in many years, neverthe-
less ii demonstrates the necessity of
having a good COW. The good COW is
not only a necessity in a year like this,
but in years when feed is more plenti-
full she will give a larger return for
the feed consumed than will the poor
one. Just as a season like this as
serts the benefits resulting from the
best Of farming, so does it show the
necessity for better live stock of all
kinds. The best live stock will give
the largest return for the feed con-
sumed. The dairy COW of the best type
will give a larger return for the feed
she consumes than any other farm
animal. --EsJs-s-.'r = ~ sssS -ZzITysS2r..r.

THE ECONOMY OF
GOOD DAIRY COWS

On many farms the dairy cow will
be poorly fed this winter, says the
Kansas Farmer. When feed is plenti-

chance to pick the best from a great
deal more feed than she can consume,
a better showing than she can make
In a year when feed is scarce and when
she is compelled to eat the feed offered.
whether that feed be palatable or not
The fact is that the COW must be well
fed if she is to produce milk. She must
have enough feed to maintain her body
and must consume a sufficient surplus
20 produce milk. This condition pre-
rails always. The animal body cannot
adapt itself to seasonal conditions.
This means that the dairy COW, If
she be profitable, must at all times
have such feed as will enable her to
produce milk to her capacity. 1t costs
about as much in feed to maintain a
COW of low capacity as It does a COW
OF large capacity. Figuring on this
basis, therefore, one COW consumes
about as much feed as another in main
tanning herself. The COW which can
consume the greatest amount of feed
over and above that required by bodily
maintenance is the cow which, If she
puts that feed to proper use. will fill
the milk pail.
In times when feed is plentiful the

PIG MANAGEMENT.

A dry sleeping accommodation is an
absolute necessity. Good ventilation
Is almost as important. States, tiles,
boards and corrugated iron are too
cold for pigs to make the greatest
progress. There is nothing which
gives the necessary ventilation and
warmth in all seasons as a good foot
ythick Of wheat straw. Exercise, es-
socially between weaving and fatten-
Ing, is also Of very great Importance
Goal or ashes and water should be
within the reach Of pigs Of all ages to
assist In counteracting the natural
acidity Of the stomach. A handful Of
common sulphur given once a week
will be helpful. Great regularity In
feeding, with absolute cleanliness, is no

SnuffIes In Sheep.

This is the time Of year when this
disease becomes prevalent.

Keep the sheep In dry quarters that
are well ventilated, but free from
drafts.
One of the best remedies is TO hold
the animal and make it inhale the
fumes from tar which has been poured
over red hot Goals.
Fresh pine tar can also be put in the
mouth and on the nose.
Prevention Is better than cure.
Keep the sheep dry and protected
from storms.
