eight missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal church for 1914 were $1,17O,-
258.97, an increase of $12,789.57 over

banner year, according to the figures
given out at the annual meeting of the

work added $418, 1862 more to the
regular receipts. These two totaled

OREGON DEAD;

Villa Rejects 0vertures Fol-
lowing Killing Of Noted Leader.
GENERAL HILL IN COMMAND
C~arranza Places Victor of Naco In
Charge of Troops ViIlistas
Reattack Army of
First Chief.

Ell Paso.-The announcement of the
death of General Alvaro Obregon, the
only man who has been able to beat
Villa in the field, and a declaration
from the Villaistas that Carranza's
attitude made hope of a peaceful set
Element impossible and that the war
would be fought to a finish, reversed
the situation in Mexican affairs. A
new attack on the Carranza army
has been ordered by Villa, and with
Obregon dead his chances are con
ceded to be better than for months.
General Obregon had been shot in
the shoulder during the battle Of
Leon and later his right arm was am
putated. He was the only Carranza
general who ever defeated Villa.
General BENJAMIN Hill, victor Of
the battle of Naco, has been appoint
ed commander of Obregon's army,
which has been moving north to meet
Villa.
General Oregon, although desper-
ately wounded, refused to leave the
battlefield at Leon and continued to
direct the battle from a cot, while
surgeons dressed his wound, permit
ting himself to be removed only after
the battle was over. After the ampu-
tation of his arm was made, he did
not rally from the operation.

MANY MEN ACT LIKE THIS
Old Bill ShiftIess Has His Counter

"Old Bill Shiftless dropped into

tissue paper. His wife had asked him
to get some so she could make a few
little ornaments to improve the looks
of the front room. She wanted two
colors and Bill found that he would
have to take two rolls, as the mer-
chant would not cut it. They cost 10
cents a roll. Bill refused to take it,
saying it was too darn much money
to pay for such useless stuff. He then
bought a dollars worth Of chewing to-
bacco and a half-dollar's worth of CT
CARS and went out to see what the
chances were for chipping in on a
consignment of Kansas City jug house
booze. Bill wants to go to the San
Francisco exposition. His trip to St.
Louis did him so much good that he
thinks he owes it to his health to take
this trip. Mrs. Shiftless would like to

WAY BREAK TREATIES.
U. S. Notifies Twenty-one Nations to
Comply With Seamen's Act,

Comply with Searnen'S Act.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
principal nations of the world have
been notified by the United States
that it intends to terminate provi-
sions of existing treaties with those
countries which are in conflict with
the Seamen's act passed by the last
Congress. It was learned that this
notice was given as required by the
law through the American Embassies
and Legations just within the pre-
scribed limit of ninety days from
March 4 last, when the act was ap-
proved.
Previous denunciations of treaties
by the United States have covered
the entire conventions. 1t remains
to be seen whether the nations in
terested in the present instance will
consent to the excelsior of certain ar
tfcles to meet the provisions of the
Seamen's act. If they will not con-
sent to this, then the State Depart
ment is under obligation to cancel all
of the treaties.
Such a proceeding would result in
destroying provisions between the
United States and all these nations
for the settlement of estates, the
transfer Of property, the exercise Of
consular functions, diplomatic i'm
munities, customs and port and light
house dues, and a hundred other sub
jects which have formed the basis
of treaty regulations and stipulations
between civilized powers.
Then it would become necessary for
the State Department to Immediately
begin negotiations for new treaties
upon which to base the business and
diplomatic relations of the United
States.

CALF DURING FIRST SUMMER
Most important Period of Animals
Life With Respect to It's Growth
Use Clean Milk Pals.

CBy r. M. WASHBURN, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The first year of a Calls life is the
most important with respect to it's
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inheri-
lance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
through much or all of the summer fol-
lowing birth. On farms having hand
s%eparators there is no difficulty in pro-
viding the sweet milk for calves, morn
ing and evening; but farmers who pat
ronize whole-milk creameries or who
still skim by hand should remember
that after the first few weeks milk for
calves should either be thoroughly
sweet or fully sour, that the most dam
gerous condition is the half-sour stage.
If milk is fed to calves when it is in
this changing condition it is almost
certain to cause indigestion. 1t should
not be half-sour, nor sour one day and
sweet the next, but always one or the
other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant COW from the slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
1t is important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly that
of the body. Older animals may re-
ceive milk of the temperature of the
milk-holding tank.
While it is very important that heif-
ers should have free access to pas
ture during the second summer, to de-
velop strong bodies, the calf need not
have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves born after the first of
the year, p~asturing may be a disadvan-
tage. Most young calves in this coun-
try are better off chewing tender hay
in the quiet and half-dark stable than
fighting flies, painting from the heat
and cropping tough grass in the pas
ture.

TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK
Little Fellows Can Easily Be Taught
to Help Themselves by Giving
Warm Milk in Pail.

Calves should be removed from the
mother within a day or two. Some
advocate never allowing them to suck,
others let them suck once, then re-
move them. Whichever way is done,
the calf can easily be taught to drink
by fastening it in a rigid stanchion and
giving it the warm new milk in a
clean pail.
Feed sparingly at first, one and a
half to two quarts of milk, morning,
noon and night, for the first week,
then drop the noon feed and increase
others up to four quarts of feed night
and morning.
Change gradually from whole milk
to skim milk. Feed all milk warm
and sweet.
Use a dairy thermometer and warm
to 80 or 95 degrees.
