The delegates who attended the
third annual convention of the Sixth

City Normal Normal gave a strong
address on peace" Mrs. j. w. Bush,
the district president, is always good
in an affair of this kind and in her re-
port made a splendid address.

an excellent fve-course luncheon at
the home of Mrs. j. w. Johnston on
Tuesday evening.
Mrs. F. F. Bergcndahl of Glendale
was reelected to succeed herself as

All things, beings, and expressions
are recognized through some form.
Sound Godlincss seeks to be expressed
in personal, domestic, and public wor-
ship, which formu atcs self discipline

as the object it symbolizcs, mere form
can never be the power of reality, or

IN HONOR OF MOTHERS DAY

The Royal Neighbors have been
gaining an enviable reputation of
late for the delightful social gather
ings which have been given under
their auspices during the past few
months.
The one that surpasscs all previous
efforts along that line was given by
them in their lodge room in the X. of
r. Hall on Friday afternoon, when
they entertained, in honor of Mothers
Day, all the mothers of the commun-
ity who had passed their sixtieth
milestone.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with large rugs, growing plants and
the tables, already prepared for the
serving Of the luncheon, the color
scheme being green and white, with a
touch of yellow on the basket handles.
These baskets were the daintiest
things imaginable, taking the place of
plates, and being made from ordinary
paper plates, to which wire handles,
wound with white tissue paper, had
been attached, decorated with yellow
tulips on the one side, and the place
cards, tied with the X. N. colors, on
the other. The bottoms were fitted
with embossed doiies, and complete,
were certainly credit to the origina-
tors of the decorating scheme.
Each table had runners of pale
green, with carnation center pieces,
and seated four guests.
After the address of welcome by
the Oracle, Mrs. Oxtoby, a short pro-
gram was rendered. The first number
was reading by Mrs. r. o. Smith,
followed by a vocal duet by Mrs.
Bronson and Miss Dill, readings by
Miss Nina Oxtoby and Mrs. Bache-
lor, vocal duet by Mrs. Bastion and
Mrs. Caldwell, after which Rev. Hol-
lett gave short talk, which elected
much applause. All the numbers
given were along the same line, Civ.
ing honor to the Mothers we all love
SO dearly.
! The program was followed by two
course luncheon, which was triumph
Of culinary art and thoroughly en-.
joyed.
At its conclusion each guest wa.
given a carnation and one of the has
lets as a souvenir, after which tn,
tables were carried out, the hal
cleared, and the Royal Neighbor team
put on their fancy drill, which was ex
ceptionally fine.
After many expressions of pleasure
to the ladies who had cntertaind then
so Royalty" the guests were con
Quoted to the waiting autos, which
had been provided to carry them from
and to their homes.
A ride about town had been plan
ned for them, but owing to the in
clement weather, that part of the pro
gram was dropped.
All who had any part in the pro
gram deemed it an honor and privi
lege to be invited to help in maxim,
the afternoon success.

An idea Of the way in which motor

NOTHING BUT CORN

Where Fed Exclusively to Hogs

Investigators have proved what

animal. and that there Is no need of
Withholding it from any animal need
Ing food At the same time, IL Is shown
that corn alone is not nearly so good
or so profitable a feed as corn sup
plemented by some protein food, such
as tankage. linseed meal or soy
beans
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animals become very fat and chubby,
and do not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-fiye hogs were used in a re-
cent experiment and they were di-
vided into lots Of five each. Twelve
different rations were used, with corn
alone in two OF them and corn with
some other feed In the others.
The hogs fed on corn and Iinseed
meal and those fed on tankage
gained the most: those receiving corn
alone were most unsatisfactory.

Clover hay and grain Is a better
ration for breeding ewes than timothy
hay and grain.
Glover hay alone will maintain preg-
nant breeding ewes up to lambing
time. After lambing. the addition Of
grain is advisable
Corn silage when fed with clover
hay, with grain. and with both clover
hay and grain. is slightly better rough
age than corn stover fed with the
same combination OF grain and clover
hay
Moldy or extremely sour corn silage
is a dangerous feed for sheep. Eleven
ewes were lost in one week from ac-
cidentally feeding rnoldy silage.
A ration of corn silage, clover hay
and grain is the most efficient way OF
utilizing silage.
Feeding corn stover. clover hay and
grain is the most satisfactory method
Of urilizing stover.

roughages than timothy hay when fed

Some have said they did not want
an eight-cylinder engine because it
was so hard to locate the trouble.
After a person gets familiar with
an eightcylinder he should have no
more dificulty in locating trouble than
in any other.
One way is to have a separate muf-

To locate the cylinder. take a screw
