FEED WHEAT

Wheat is now selling for the same
or less than corn. If wheat were lOc
per bushcl higher than corn it could
still be fed proftably to work ami
mails, growing stock and mich cows.
Wheat contains more protein and
carbohydrates than corn, but less
fat. SO for fattening purposes only
is corn better than wheat.
The best result will be obtained
from wheat when mixed with other
grain, the proportions depending on
the class Of animals to be fed. Be
sides being an unbalanced feed, when
fed alone, wheat adheres to the teeth
and gums of the animals. For hors-
es and cattle it will be found profit
able to either crack or grind the
wheat.
A few balanced rations for work
horses and mich cows follow: II
one has other feeds we will be glad
to assist in balancing such feed if
you will write to this department
stating the feeds you have and the
kind of animals.
Horses at heavy work: One part
brand and two parts wheat, or one
part cotton seed meal and five and
one-half parts corn with twelve parts
wheat.
Mich cows: One part cotton seed
meal with four and "A half parts of
wheat, or one part wheat with four
parts bran, or one part cotton seed
meal and one and a half parts of
corn with three parts of wheat.

\ SENSIBLE MATCH

BY Graydon Gray
We had picked out the man for oug
daughter
Tender and pure and sweet,
Laugh like the ripple Of water.
Hair like the sun on the wheat.
We knew that she dreamed of hi.
mating
With Billy, who counted on it
Young Billy 50 patiently waiting
Until he had saved up a bit.
Poor Billy is earnestly trying
TO stand with the men who have
won,
And there is no use Of denying
We'd be proud of the boy as II son.
He's manly and clean. At his coming
The maiden's clear eyes are alight,
And all the day long she keeps hum
ming
The songs that he sang her last
night.
But we've tried, yes to turn her from
Billy,
We've discouraged the thing all we
can;
For a match twixt the two has seem
ed silly,
And he's only a salaried man.
Now, Drew is man more than forty.
lIl-naturcd and broken in health;
He's boorish and flashy and aporty.
All, yes but just think Of his wealth!
He's fun of grasping ambition
And his mcagcr souls twisty and
mean;
But we've thought Of his social posi-
ton
Our daughter could reign like a
queen.
So we've thought that the girl would
prove supple
And do as we wanted her 70,
For we, like sensible couple
Have been anxious to wed her to
Drew.
But today as we sat here attacking
The pros and the cons, wife and |,
Billy came to take daughter a-walk-
ing,
And the telephone rang by and by.
| answered. or course it was Billy.
They were married! 1t did take my
breath;
But after all, though it is silly,
Wife and ! are both ticklcd to
death.

CONCENTRATING WEALTH

TheUnited States is practically
owned by less that $50, 900 persons.
Within 30 years, if the present rate
of concentration goes on, all the prop
erty of the nation will be owned by
less than one man in every 500. men.
The great Roman Empire sank into
Oblivion when only 1900 owned the
then owned world.
Babylon expired when two per cent
of her people owned all the wealth.
Egypt went down when 81 per
cent Of her wealth was owned by only
two per cent of her people.
And history records that Persia
persisted when one per cent of her
people owned all the land.

SOMETHING ABOUT SMILING
4 Lesson for All Our Readers

Courtesy Pictorial Review, Au-
gust, l9lI.)
As nation, we are taking many
things too scriously-the high cost Of
living, femnism, the latest fashion.
We look at them so sternly and so
anXiously that we forget to smile,
especially at little children and those
we love. We ask children to have old
heads on young shoulder and we re.
card those we love as especially de-
signed by Providence for the unload
ing Of our burdens.
4 woman went to meet the ran she
loved on his return from q long jour
uey. During his absence things had
not gone as well with her as they
might. All the way to the station
and while she waited for the train,
she built up mentally, the burden she
would gladly unload on his shoulders.
II would be such a relief to talk about
her troubles; and the more she
thought about them the deeper the
ines in her forehead. But when the
man stepped off the train, he showed
leIltaIe marks Of illness. His Shout
dcrs dropped, his feet Jagged and
there was no light of welcome in his
eyes.
The woman felt a sickening sense
If disappointment Here was not re-
lief but added trouble. The words
which rose to her lips were: "Oh,
dear. you've been ill.," Instead some
good fairy transmitted them into gold.
Dear Heart, it's so good to see
you" Then she went to meet him
with her arms outstretchcd and Il
smie-a warm, "I-lovc-you-better-
than-evcr" smile on her lips.
The man who had so long borne
this woman's capriccs with the inf
mite patience Of love, responded to
that smile instantly. His step quick
nned, his shoulders seemed to straight
en- and light came into his eyes.
ITS certainly good to get back"
and he smiled too. SO was their
meeting glorifed as if by new
plghting Of love and by the smile,
rather than by the words. For words
without smiles may be pcrruuctory
and without welcome; but real
mile, smile that comes from the
heart and not from the lips, is a liv-
ing thing that rises above speech.
When in doubt smile. It is a safe
play at almost any stage Of ife's
game But be sure it's the right kind
ar smile, not the smile Of fear which
l better described as grin, but the
mile which says that the world is a
pretty good sort of a place if you
don't take it too seriously-the smile
that says: Come on in, the jokes
good one"

END OF THE WORLD

The theological editor of the Skies
ton Herald gives very interesting
article showing that the Second Com
ing of Christ is very near, and quotes
Scripture to sustain his position. He
says: "The great European war is
only fulfillment of the prophecy con-
corning the second coming of Christ
and the end Of the world. For several
years the signs of His coming have
been rapidly fulfilling and there re,
mains only few signs yet to be full
filled before He comes again"
Hundreds of predictions have been
made during the last 1900 years that
the end was near-even the day has
been iixed-and great multitudes have
assembled clad in ascension robes.
These predictions, in every case, were
based on the construction of passages
in the Bible, but the old world con-
tinued in its orbit.-EXchanEc.

CIRCUS COULDN'T GET
 l AWAY WITHOUT OUTRAGE
Attaches of Rolling Tent City Beat up
 and Rob Tempe Mexican

After beating up and robbing Lucio Yucupicio, Mexican on whom they had played the confidence trick, four colored men and white man, mem bers of the Barnum and Bailey circus, threw the man from the circus train disa bled to shift for himself out on the desert between Tempe and MaricOpa.
 From the communication of a wit ness of the assault on the train, on the way to Tucson, Deputy Sheriff Pow CTS at Maricopa learned of the affair and telephoned to Sheriff Jeff Adams, who at once set out to find the injured man. At Tempe he obtained the use of a nand-car from the railroad agent, and a coincidence placed in charge of the car the man ValenZuela SaleZ, who knew all about the story. This was not discovered until Hansen Junction was reached and ValenZuela began dis cussing in Spanish the affair with a man at that point. Here Jeff Adams clipped in and discovered that the hand-car help had befriended the in jured Yucupicio, who had crawled into Tempe and asked his help
 At Valenzuela's shack out in the brush the sheriff found the injured man lying with a broken arm. His head was badly smashed by a heavy blow or the forehead. The man was brought into Phoenix and a room was found for him in the court house, where he is being attended.
 YucupiciO has signed complaints against the five men. Deputy Sheriff Powers was notified and he followed the men to Douglas, where he arrested them. Last night the sheriff's office received a telegram from Powers in Tucson, saying that he had delivered the five men into the hands of the au thorities there to be held in custody until fetched. Sheriff Adams leaves this morning for Tucson to bring back the men to answer a charge of assault and attempt on the life of Yucupicio.
