GIVES BOND FOR $4,000

Attorney william Earle Ambrose was
indicted by the grand jury yesterday on
the charge of embelzzling funds en-
trusted to his care as guardian for the
children OF Charles Limerick. The sum
alleged to have been taken is $3.50. The
attorney gave bond for 5000 shortly af-
ter the indictment was returned, W. w.
Stewart being surety.
Ambrose gave out a statement later in
which he denied any shortage in his
accounts. His case will not be tried until
October and perhaps November.
Two Indictments Returned.
There are two indictments, one contain
ing twelve counts and the other eigth.
They charge him with having embezzled
promissory notes. Ambrose was ap>
pointed guardian of Agnes, Oliver, Rob
ert c. and Clarence Limerick on April a.
1912, to succeed Floyd z. Davis. The
notes were as follows:
One signed by Harry E. Weeks, as
maker, to Walter G. Davis, for $3.50.

three years after date at per cent in
terest.

three years from date
TWO each signed by william A Rich
ards as maker, to Ida N. Smith. for 500
each, dated May II, 1872, payable three
years after date.
The various counts involve not only the
proceeds of the notes, but also the notes
themselves. The indictments are drawn
so as to cover every possible claim Of
ownership.

TO CHANGE HOCKEY RULES.
Harvard Would Do Away With the
Body Check

Body Check.
With Princeton, Yale and Harvard
committees at work on plans to revise
the intercollegiate hockey rules so as
to eliminate Unnecessary roughness in
contests. followers of the winter sport
are awaiting with interest the outcome
OF the pending negotiations. The chief
question being discussed is that of the
body check.
The elimination of this will help ma
terially in doing away with rough
play, according to the contention of
the Ottawa Hockey club. which is tax
ing prominent part in the movement
TO eliminate rOughness. Body checking
has never been overpcpular with the
American college players, but it has
been used enough to cause. nany crit
ics to believe the game would benefit
by its elimination.
The Harvard committee. which win
meet with that Of Princeton ana of
Yale in New York later in the year. con
siders the game too rough as it is now
played and urges strongly the elimina.
ton of the body check. The Crimsons'
other important proposed reform is a
PENALTY that for every minute n team
is late the puck shall be put in play
five yards nearer their own goal.
Harvard also advocates that the rul-
Ing concerning the referecing for all
overtime games shall remain. The
present rule that a substitution can be
made any time, but that a man once
taken out cannot be replaced in the
game, is also approved by the Cam
bridge hockey authorities.
Princeton does not side with Harvard
on the body checking question. The
winners Of the intercollegiate hockey
honors last season oppose the Crimsons
and believe in leaving the question of
body checking unchanged. The Tigers
deem it the referees province to dis
criminatc as to rOughness. The Prince
ton committee also stands by the pres
ent ruling concerning extra period
games and advocates a penalty for
latencss at the beginning of the game
or periods. a, OIL.
This penalty states that the offend.
ing team shall lose one man for every
minute it is late in getting on the ice
unless intermission has been prolonged
10y mutual consent. a penalty of being
put off the ice is also proposed for the
goalkeeper if during play he shall close
his hand on the puck instead of letting
it drop at his feet and sweeping it
away.

and was last seen about 10 o'clock

Mr.. Christian and a careful investi-

More Pork With Less Corn.
By L A. Weaver.

Is it possible for the farmers of
Missouri to make more money out
of the corn which they feed to
hogs?
1t can be done in two ways.
First by feeding a better class of
hogs. i. e, using more perfect ma
chimes for converting corn into pork
and second by methods of feeding
which will produce the largest
amount of pork from a given
amount Of corn.
For fattening hogs, corn is al
most indispensable in this State.
Corn alone, however, is not COM
plete ration. 1t is deficient in pro-
TEN and ash, two nutrients which
are necessary for the building of
muscle and bone. In order, then
to balance corn ration, feeds must
be added which are high in the ele-
ments which corn lacks Some of
the supplements best suited for this
purpose are tankage, linseed oil
meal, skim milk and wheat mid
dlings. No animal can produce
pork efficiently unless a complete
ration is supplied.
In a ration consisting of ten parts
corn and one part tankage, one
pound of tankage will save about
four pounds of corn. This makes
a ton of tankage worth around
$500 with corn at Goo bushel
Likewise in a ration composed of
6 parts linseed oil meal and l part
corn, ore tnn rf Inc 81 uIeat /,
worth about $4,000 to $500. While
wheat middlings is ordinarily a
more expensive supplement than
either tankage or oil meal, a ration
of 2 parts corn and part wheat
middlings is more economical than
corn fed alone. Skim milk is very
efficient supplement and when it
can be had it will materially cheap
en- the ration if 3 to S pounds of
milk be fed with each pound of
grain.
The above proportions are by
weight rather than measure and are
given on the basis of Sc pounds of
shelled corn to the bushel. If ear
corn is fed, allowance must be made
for the extra weight of the cob.
