BRIEFS FOR BREEDERS

Since the value of sprouted oats for use as green food for poultry at all ages has become generally known it has rapidly grown in favor. From the fact that a feed for one hundred fowls can be produced from one quart of oats, at a cost of less than five cents, it can readily be seen why tri, form of green feed is so universally used. Sprouted oats will increase your egg production give you more fertile eggs, and keep hens and chicks. healthy and vigorous.

Manhattan, Kan, July 14.-That
"the youth who has once learned to
take a straight shaving off a plank, or
to draw a fine curve without faltering,
or to lay a brick level with its mortar,
has learned a multitude of other mat
tiers which no lips of man could ever
teach him" was one of the points
emphasized at the ninth annual con-
ference of Kansas county school SUI
perintendents, which began a two-day
session here Tuesday.
Speakers laid stress on the impor-
lance of teaching a pupil something
that he is able to do well, no matter
what. Another feature of the confer
ence planned lay in inspections and
demonstrations at the Kansas State
Agricultural college of grain crops
live stock and other special phases of

EDUCATING GANGsTERs.

At Russelville, Ark, there is an instr
tuition which goes under the name of a
college. 1t is called the Second District
State Agricultural college. Ii has a
president. The presidents name is
Charles Il. Scott. Ii has students. The
students probably have names, but they
are really gangsters with veneer Of
education. The other evening a party of
these gangsters waylaid the president of
the college and endeavored 10 chsstise
him for ignoring some Of their mandates.
The president, the aforementioned Charles
+. Scott, demurred at the chastisement
and fought back. But being only one
against many, he was finally worsted
and given severe beating. The next
morning President Scott appeared In
chapel wit" both eyes blackened and his
face bruised and swollen where il had
come in contact with the hsts Of the
young gangsters who assayed the chas-
tisement.

DO THEY WANT WAR;

1t would be interesting to know just
what the ranters against the attitude Of
the Washington administration TOWARD
Germany and Austria would like this
country to do. There is practically only
one step between the present attitude
and the declaration of war. That one
step is the breaking off of diplomatic re-
lations with Germany and Austria,
which, by the way, is but single tran
sition from the present position. Indeed,
the severing of diplomatic relations with
Germany and Austria would amount to
little and would have almost no effect
on Germany and Austria at the present
time, although in the light of history IL
might be considered momentous occur
renee. Hence il must be concluded that
the fault -fnders over the careful policy
of the Wilson administration, II they
are not playing politics, really demand
that the United States declare war on
both Germany and Austria forthwith and
instanter. A fine situation that would
