IL was the biggest report ever given
in for the first day of a campaign at
the Richmond Central Association and
stirred the workers to the most in
tense enthusiasm. When the reports
for the most successful teams were
turned in the Eoise was terrific.
This big report will send the work
ers out to do their very best--the Reds
to overtake the Blues, the Blues to
take pains to see that they do not.
General Hawkins reminded the work
ers that 1t was no unusual thing fer
the Blues to start off ahead, but that
his side was in the habit OF occupying
first place on the closing night, which
was what counted.
General Saunders insisted that the
order of things was going to be
changed this time. and that the Blues
were going to keep their lead and win
out.
Rev. Fred r. Chenault, pastor of
Broad Street Methodist Church, gave
a brief address on team work, which
was strong and straight to the point.
In closing the affair. there were short
talks by the Generals and the leading
Captains and General Secretary Nc

that the United States has no design
of conquest. nor even of intervention,
but to make 1t plain that the de

General Funston said today he had
received definite information as to
where Villa is. He said the bandit
chief has taken refuge In a mountain
region remote from the present posi-
tons of the American troops so re-
mote that no attempt will be made to
go after him during the period.
A dispatch from Pershing today
told OF the wrecking of another aero
plane Lieutenants Willis and Dargue

cheap rOughaGes were used most sat
isfactorily with silage. One lot OF
thirty calves was fed three and one
half pounds Of wheat straw, two and
one-third pounds Of corn stover, three

pounds Of kaffir silage daily per calf.
In addition they we're given about

feed had been only 33 cents per calf.
The total cost of winterlng these calves
was but S5,72 head.
1t is always best to use silage In con-
nection with other feeds If possible
BY limiting the amount of silage some
what it will go great deal further
and will result In more economical
use OF all the cheap feed on the farm.
IL the cattle are given all the silage
they will eat early in the season the
supply may be exhausted before spring.
and bad results win be, sure to foRow
the change from the silage ration to
one of dry roughage during the latter

always good plan to estimate as
closely as possible the amount of silage
on hand and so gauge the feeding as to
make 1t last until the pasture season
opens.
