dividually want to sell coal for the
company out of school hours 1t is no

CANAL BUILT FOR
NATIONAL PURPOSE

1t is evident that the Canal will
have must have,-with the process
OF the years, an overwhelming intiu.
ence In readjusting the conditions OF
human life upon the globe. And yet
1t is questionable whether its pres.
ent owner built 1t for the sake of Ec-
uador and Japan and the trade routes
and the unwilling of the Pacific and
the joining Of the world halves.
l should rather say there Is no
question that he did not. The thought
OF all these things aided to dignity
the task and give 1t background; but
the United States government built
the canal In order to join together
the two coasts of the country and
give 1t compactness. The people vot.

looking on to see the Oregon pick
It's lonely way around the Cape. Eu-
ropeans generally allege that Il was
purely with a military purpose that

sionals, our militarism is limited to
some sudden outbursts of short
duration. Except when we are our
selves interferred with or hampered
or crossed, We do not In general ap-
prove Of war,-at any rate are dis.
inclined to systematic preparation
for war.
We shall have to say on the whole
that We built the Canal for national
purposes, in spite Of the Oregon Incl
dent and Of the fertilization of the
Canal. The first form Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, the one which
John Hay always insisted was the
right one, for babe the fertilization.
1t is quite possible still that Hay was
right. Only time can tell 1t is GER

creasingly distrustful of vague pro-
lection by the world at large. A ter

how near our vitals lay the interests
OF the Canal. and we were unwilling
to take any risk.
The Canal Is ours. We have for
the time being more interest In II

the years and the usage Of men will
establish that great waterway ultim-

one nation can create with walls and

c'aration that the waters surrounding

CABINET WILL
CONSIDER SITUATION

Washington, Feb. 5.-President
Wilson and his cabinet discussed to-
day the possible effects on neutral
shipping OF the German proclamation
declaring as naval war zones the
water areas surrounding Great Brit
tan and Ireland and bordering the
north and west coasts of France
and a portion of The Netherlands.
II the German proclamation, when
officially transmitted corresponds In
phraseology to the report which came
by wireless yesterday, It was sug-
gested In executive quarters that the
course Of the American government
probably would be to inquire. first
of the German government what mea-
sures OF protection or convoy can be
expected by American merchant
ships passing through the designated
war zones to neutral ports and sec.
ond of the British government as to
whether or not It has issued the al
legged secret order permitting the
use OF neutral flags by her merchant
men. A denial by Great Britain of
the existence OF the order would be
followed, 1t is understood. by an in
quiry Of the German authorities as
to proof Of their charge.

HINTS ON FEEDING
YOUNG CALVES

There Is no need of feeding the or
binary calf for a longer period than
one week on whole milk, according
to DR.. W. r. Carol Of the Animal
Husbandry department OF the Utah
Agricultural College. OF course, the
change to skim milk should not be
made suddenly, nor without substi-
tutes for the fat or cream. To re-
place the fat that has been removed
from the milk, as well as to furnish
additional protein, there is nothing
that can take the place OF fiaxseed
Jelly. This jelly should be added In
small quantities at first and slowly
increase. Begin with dessert spoon
full in each feed and increase gradu.
ally until cupful Is being fed night
and morning to the three months old
calf. To prepare the jelly, steep one
pound of whole flaxseed In water al
most boiling until thick paste re-
suits. 1t should be kept cool and
sweet until fed. In addition TO the
naxseed jelly a little dry bran and
whole oats should be fed. Some clean
sweet hay will be found valuable
addition to the ration at very early
age.
