The silos are now practically filisi

the fodder from the pen ranches on

as the motive power for the chopper
which cuts the stalks into the proper
length and hoists them into the siio.
The chopped staikE are wet up a 1T
tie with water hut that is the only
preparation they are given and they
are kept in the silo until ready to be
used.
The feed thus made Is said to be
much cheaper than alfalfa and grain

Warden Tvnan has adopted the sIlo

support of our own state"
In sending this out, the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce adds this
graphic picture of conditions:
Belgium is war torn, the right or
wrong of it does not enter here, the
women and children are suffering and
they are not to blame. Cities, towns,
villages, hamlets and farms have been
destroyed. The men folks that are
backed into one corner of their once
prosperous country are fighting stub
bornly to hold that bit of land.
"Their women and children, wide
eyed, sleepless, homeless and hungry,
are wandering about the desolate land,
sleeping on the ground, in the fields,
under bushes, in holes gouged by 12-
inch shells. The women are trying to
still the cries of frightened and hun
CRY babies crying for their fathers,
and the mothers know that those same
fathers are dead under the walls Of
Namur, Liege, Antwerp and else
where, or lying face to the sky on
many stricken fields from the Lys to
the User.
"Give, and give quickly, for the
need is great"
1t ought to appeal to US favored

be affected by conditions at home and

Menke Tells of Work
For the Big Games

$40. Last year it was about 800
Folwell last year and this year had
to make his selection from among mer
who would not be given a second
/ thought by the coaches of other
elevens. He had to make his selec-
tion from little men-from the kind
of men that Yale, Harvard and Michi-
gan ould not have considered at all
because of their lightness and their
smallness.
Ye5 Folwell, handicapped by the
lack of bulk and Drawn, did not be-
come discouraged. His men had
brains, they had courage and they
were game to the core. No obstacle
frightened them. And so Folweil
picked out about twenty-five of the
most likely looking candidates, weld
cd them into machine that when all
things are considered, is the most
wonderful football machine ever put
together.
The w. & j. backfeld this year
averages 5 feet s inches in height and
160 pounds in weight. It's line is
lighter and shorter in average size
than any first-class team in the
country, yet that 160-pound backfield
tore the powerful Yale and Harvard
line to shreds. 1t ripped through the
strong Mt. Union team as though it
were paper and then rolled up 105
to score against Dickinson.
The w. & j. line has thrown back
the charging Yale backs, it has thrown
back the Harvard backfeld and it has
thrown back for losses every team
that tried to force its way through.
It's pigmy line in comparison with
that Of the big colleges in the East,
yet it is Gibralter one of the strong
est lines put together by any team.
What W. & j. lacks in size it makes
up in brains and spirit. Every man
on the w. & J. team must be Class
A student or he doesn't play football.
In w. & J. college studies come
first. If student is up in his studies
