HOW BRITAIN PREPARED
FOR PRESENT WORLDWAR
Demonstration by Films Exhibited
to National Press Club and
Its Guests.

How Britain Prepared" to take her
part in the great world war was shown
by means of the official moving picture
films of the British empire at the Be
lasco Theater last night to the National
Press Club and it's guests. This was the
first time these remarkable pictures were
ever produced in America, and the eXhi
bition was received with keen interest
and appreciation by the audience, which
filled the theater, including members of
the cabinet. senators and representatives.
The exhibition was in the nature Of a
lesson to Americans regarding what
would be expected of them should this
country ever become engaged in a great
war, waged under modern conditions.
Having the volunteer system, as has Eng
land, and her industries being in state
even less ready for mobilization than
were those of Great Britain when the
European war broke out, the United
States may well take the lesson to heart,
1t was said.

King Reviewing New Army.

King George V is shown reviewing
a contingent of the new army, 10000
Irish volunteers, which has since gone
to the continent for service
One actual war picture is given, the
destruction of a German blockhouse by
British guns.
The second part of the program
shows the greatest fleet in the world
operating in the North sea From the
giant II. NJ. S. Queen Elizabeth to the
submarine and the seaplane the
strength of Great Britain on the sea
is revealed. Here, too, the work Of
preparation is shown from the con-
struction of battleship to the manu-
facture of munitions. Scenes at the
naval construction works of Messrs.
Fickers, Ltd, picture the making of a
great fifteen-inch gun from the time
the raw material is hauled into the fac
tory. British mine sweepers, the sub
marine service, the destroyers-the
hornets" of the ieet-and battleship
in action, all are shown.

Preparations After War Began.

The pictures of Great Britain's prepa-
ration-after the war was under way
were produced under the auspices of
Earl Kitchener. minister of war; Hon.
Arthur Balfour, first lord Of the adj
miralty, and Hon. Lloyd George, minis
ter of munitions. They were made I'M
der the direction of Charles Urban, and
will be shown at the Belasco Theater
the rest of this week.
/ The exhibition is divided into two
parts. first Showing How 100000
British Civilians Were Turned into
Highly Efficient Army Within Fifteen
Months, second, How Britain Con-
trolls the Seas The pictures are not
war pictures-they show the men OF
Great Britain in the making as soldiers
and sailors; they show the industrial
army of England turning out the mum
lions to be used by the fighting forces
of both branches of the service; they
show the thousands upon thousands of
women who have turned to and taken
up the burdens of the men in the NUM-
lions factories: they show the mobill-
cation of the industrial forces of the

Lesson of Preparedness.

But the thoroughness in which this
work of preparation has been gone into
astonishes and brings home the lesson of
preparedness to this country as no other
pictures that have been shown here.
From the moment that the recruit is
given his papers by the recruiting officer
until he is turned out a soldier deemed
fitted for work at the 'front.' the processes
of instruction are given in detail The
vast amount of instruction needed to
make the men capable is indicated
Trenches, such as have sheltered the war
ring armies for months on the continent
are dug and perfected by the training SOL
diers in peaceful fields of England
charges are made with all the realism of
war by infantry and cavalry. One of the
most remarkable of the many series of
pictures is that showing the work of the
motor cycle machine gun section. The
royal flying corps, the pursuit of an
enemy aeroplane, is another series of
great interest. The work of the field tele-
graph and signaling corps is nearly as re-

CARE OF WIRE CUTS
AND OTHER INJURIES
Practical and Timely Hints Given
by an Expert of Missouri
College of Agriculture.
(By L. s. BAcKUs. Missouri College of
Agriculture.)

(By L. s. BACKUS, Missouri College of
Agricultural
First aid is most important.
Quick healing leaves smaller sears.
Don't use dust or lime to stop bleed
ing.
Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will soon stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
prevents prompt healing and may
cause proud flesh.
Small concealed stab wounds
such as those from nails are the most
likely TO cause death. Find them and
keep them clean and well disinfected.
Swab out deep cuts with pure tine
ture of iodine as soon as it can be
secured and they will take care of
themselves then if the normal pus dis
charge is removed.
A long continued discharge from a
wound indicates an abcess pocket, a
bone injury, or the presence of a snag
or something else that should not be
in the wound. Call veterinarian.
AS soon as bleeding has been
of warm water to which two teaspoon
fuls of creolin, lysol, carbolic acid.
or some similar disinfectant has been
added.
A wound should be healed in about
three weeks. If 1t is doing well, the
swelling will gradually go down, and
the discharge will be odorless, thin,
and bloody at first, and thicker and
whittier later.
Antitoxin will prevent lockjaw after
nail or other puncture wounds. If not
so prevented, very few of the lockjaw
cases ever recover. The hard crust
lime forms over the surface of wound
favors lockjaw by shutting out the
air.
Bleeding from leg can always be
stopped by tying small rope loosely
about the wound, then twisting it with
a stick or small rod. Tighten till bleed
ing stops. Apply bandages and re-
| move the cord if possible. If band
ages cannot be applied, prevent seri-
Gus bleeding by pressing the fingers
against the cut blood vessels until a
veterinarian can he called.

.BLACKLEG IS MOST
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Is Caused by Seed-Fornl-
ing Organism Gaining En-
trance Through Wounds.

fBy A. HAMMER, Idaho Experiment Sta
tion.}
Blackleg is specific infectious dis
ease of young cattle, caused by spore
or seed-forming organism that gains
entrance to the tissues through small
wounds in the skin. Cattle between the
ages of six months and two and one
half years are most susceptible.
The main noticeable symptom is the
occurrence of q large gaseous swelling
beneath the skin of the hind quarters,
the shoulder or the lower portion OF
the neck. The swelling crackles when
the hand is passed over it, and if cut
into the muscle is dark and yellow
ish bloody fluid escapes. Associated
with this symptom are others common
to bacterial infections, viz: Elevation
of body temperature, loss of appetite
and rumination, dullness, and difficult
breathing.
The best method of handling is to
burn or bury deeply the carcasses of
dead animals, disinfect the spots where
they died, remove healthy stock from
infected pastures and yaccinate the
susceptible cattle.

SHELTER ESSENTIAL
FOR A SHEEP FLOCK
Dry Floor, Good Root, Abundance
of Fresh Air and Feed
Space Are important.

1t is impossible to suggest any very
definite sheep barn plans without
knowing under just what conditions
the barn is to be built, but Prof. III.
Hackedorn of the Missouri College
of Agriculture makes some general
suggestions. He says: "In planning
barns or sheds for a breeding flock of
sheep, a space of 10 or II square feet
per eve will give sufficient room. The
essentials of shelter for sheep are %
dry floor, (2) good roof, (3) an album
dance of fresh air, "a avoid drafts
(5) avoid narrow doors and passages
so eve heavy with lamb will not be in
iured, and (6) provide sufficient feed
ing-trough space so all the sheep can
eat at the same time.
"We find that shed % or so feet
wide and as long as necessary to
house the flock gives very good results
at the Missouri agricultural expert
ment station. 1t should open on the
south and may be built with feed
trough and feed alley along the north
side. Economy of rack space may be
secured by the use of movable racks
so arranged as to make as many lots
as are needed in the she'd. These par
tition racks can be moved out of the
way whenever wagon is driven in to
be loaded with manure. The shed
should be high enough to afford plenty
of loft room. AS we feed baled hay,
loft five feet high at the caves gives
us room enough to store a winters
supply for the flock, but if loose hay
is put in and fed correspondlngly,
more loft room must be provided"

STUDY THE MARKET
DEMANDS CAREFULLY
Farmer Must Strive to Produce
Only Best Animals and Meet
Needs of Consumer.

CBy s. T. SIMPSON, Missouri College of
Agriculture)
We must study the market demands
and select good sires of the types that
will enable us to meet them. If we
find that the butcher or packer likes
an animal of extreme beef type be-
cause that animal yields high per
centage of the high-priced cuts, the
sires must be selected accordingly. Ii
we find that the horse buyer takes the
big, drafty, sound horse in preference
to the chunk when his order calls for
horses for heavy work, we must secure
sires that will get colts of that type.
If we ship or sell to market which
demands bacon hogs, then the boar
should be the best obtainable indi.
vidual of a bacon breed which is in
good demand in that market.
In any case, we must strive to pro.
duce only the best animals and to be
sure that they are uniformly good and
that there are among them no mis-
fits or inferior specimens which do not
meet the consumers needs.

Work for Unemployed Men.

In Town Planning, James f. Me-
Crudden tells how number of unem-
ployed men were put to work last win
ter cleaning out private alleys, vacant
lots and notwithstanding places in
fashion similar to that used in Chicago
during the recent period of Industrial
depression. The aim was to fix pay
ment on such basis that man would
continue in the work only as long as
he was unable to find other employ
ment.

amount of property belonging to the
city itself which is unirnproved and

lected from vacant lots throughout the
city. In many cases the lots, after be-
ing cleaned, were turned into neigh

Financial Strength Of U. S. Protects

By WILLIAM C. SHARP

Any uneasiness that may have been caused among
American business by the various commercial con-
erenees the part of the countries at war is in my
opinion, entirely groundless. Nothing which has been
said by the Europeans as to what they will do will
not do in the way Of trade after the should be
taken as threat to American commerce / am sure
that no threat has been intended by any country on
the other side but even if there anything of that
sort in wartime talk you may rest assured that the

Probably no state in the United
States has so large an area of blue
grass pasture as Missouri. Certain
advantages in this state have led many
men who farm, and particularly those
controlling large bodies of land, to fol-
low grazing on permanent pastures.
When the price of land was low and
the value of grain less than at present,
blue grass farming was more profitable
than rotative farming. A change of
conditions makes more skillful ham
ding of grass lands necessary.
Investigations carried on ut the Mis-
souri, experiment station for five years,
comparing blue grass with ten other
rotations, including the best forage
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1916-10-26

crops known for Missouri, show that
the average return per acre which can
be accredited to bluegrass forage for
fattening hogs is $3.50 per acre, esti-
mating pork at G cents a pound, and
corn fed at 80 cents bushel. A rota-
ton of rape, clover, and corn yielded
an annual income of S22.42 per acre.
A succession of corn in which cowpeas
were planted at the last cultivation
gave an annual income per acre of
$1948.
The figures indicate that it is not
necessary for men who farm to pillow
up all the land devoted to bluegrass
pastures il order to make it pay a
good income even on the basis of high
land values at the present prevailing
