FARM EXPERT ON
VALUES OF FOODS
Talks About Milk and Beef as
Understood by the People
of Pennsylvania

There is absolutely no explanation
to the contrary of folks" says L. w.
Lightly, Farm Adviser of the State
Department of Agriculture. They
groan and lament about the high price
of beef and ask the lawmakers to do
something or other to either make the
farmers raise more calves or get at
it themselves.
But the farmers will not and the
lawmakers cannot, so the consumer
had better learn some of his diatetic
alphabet and know how to live cheap
ly and wholesomely. Dairy products
meat and reduce the cost of the food
very greatly and at the saime time
furnish a more digestible food.
I'VE eat fool to furnish material
to build body tissues and to keep up
the body temperature and supply us
with the needed energy. Some foods
furnish heat and energy largely while
others furnish building material large
ly. Meat is largely building material as
the animal that furnished the meat
transformed vegetable growth into
meat and we leconvert 1t into human
muscle. The animal also converts the
same vegetable growth into milk from
which we make butter. cheese and
other marketable commodities, and a
large per cent. of these If used as
food are converted into human mus
Gle. Therefore, both dairy and beef
animals are kept to convert coarse
vegetable products into human food
but the dairy COW does it many times
more economically.
After you feed the beef animal two
years il is killed and four to eight
hundred pounds of meat is secured. II
YOU have dairy COW you start to milk
her at two years and If she is a prod
uctive COW she will every fortnight
give you as much actual nourishment
rs the entire animal body. In course
of a year she will give you sixteen to
twenty times as much nourishment as
her entire body would afford and she
will continue to thus produce for eight
or ten years. One pound of milk is
equal in food value to fourteen ounces
of beef and you smilingly pay 20c for
the beef and growl like tiger when
we ask you to pay only three-fourths
of this for milw. And because you re-
fuse to pay living prices for milk many
dairymen are changing from dairy to
beef and thus the consumer by his
foolishness hoosts the high cost of liv-
ing. When VIII the consumer use good
judgment in purchasing food sup
plies? Echo answers. When"

Crazed by Drink, Farmer
Fires Barns and Crops

Geneseo, N Y. Aug. 4. - The loss of
upwards of $50, 900 worth of buildings
and crops was suffered by farmers in
the adjoining town of Leicester last
night as the result of the fiendish ac-
tivities of farmer of that place by the
name of Fred Solsowsky.
Solsowsky spent last evening until
near midnight in drinking at Moscow
and then started for his home. When
he reached the vicinity he set fire to a
neighbor's straw stack From there he
went to another neighbor's and fred a
barn.
In rapid succession he fired six big
barns filled with hay, wheat and tools,
besides many hay and straw stacks.
The entire country was panic stricken,
as flame after flame shot from every di-
rection.
Fortunately Solsowsky was observed
running across a field just as he had
fred his last barn and he was captured
by husky farmer lads. Chemical fire
companies from nearby villages saved
many homes. Solsowsky has been act
ing queerly of late. He claims he con-
sumed three gallons of whisky a week
procured through mail order firms.
A signed confession was obtained
from Solsowsky and he is now also
charged with a $4,000 fire of last Mon
day night at a neighbours with whom
he had quarreled.

safe, high and dry. and the crowd
cheers and many say Cobb is lucky.
1t was not luck in getting that extra
base as it was in anticipating the 9TH
er players weakness and taking ad-
vantage.
Cobb knows his pitchers from game
to game. He studies them as well as
he studies his own batting. Last year.
for instance, Cobb had one of his best
seasons. He hit for an average of
$40 and he stole SO bases. Think of
it.
Do you know why he stole so many
bases? Well, one reason was that
Fritz Maisel of the Yankees was also
running wild on the bases, and at one
time during the season the little Yam
kee third baseman began to crowd
Cobb and had stolen almost as many
sacks as the Georgia Gem.
Margin of Heart Throb
Here is where Cobb's ambition be-
came famed to fever heat. That
strong feeling to excel gripped the
Georgian, and he wanted to show the
baseball world that no man was going
to beat him stealing bases without a
struggle. What did Cobb do? He be-
gan to run wild. He dashed from
first to second base many times under
the most unfaVorable circumstances.
That margin of a second which he
had in quick thinking and that other
extra second he got with his remark
able speed was just enough to beat the
ball by the wink of an eye. 1t is often
by the margin of a heart throb that
Cobb steals his bases

50 ed Marvel in n. Y. Tonight.

New York, Jan. 27.-"The Masked
Marvel'-the wrestling mystery and
sensation of the past few weeks-ls
going to break right into the big
time this evening. The NJ. NJ. is go
ing to get the opportunity of Crap
pling with Joe Stecher the western
marvel (unmasked). The masked
and unmasked will wrestle catch-as-
eatch-can style, two falls out of
three.
Zbyszko was originally carded to
tackle Stecher, but the herculean
Pole declined TO participate in any
nnnruly practice with Joseph. There
fore, it was absolutely necessary to
efset another worthy opponent, and the
NJ NJ stepped right into the breach
and saved the situation.
Stecher is all riled up over the back
ing down of Zbyszko. The western
sensation came here for the sole pur-
pose of engaging in few matches
with he3dliners. When he was in
formed that Zbyszko would be his
first opener. Stecher was delighted.
Now that ZbySzko has renigged, the
westerner does not hesitate to pass a
few smarting remarks about the Pole

Stecher today: Il will wrestle any
six men that newspaper men select as
being best fitted. and agree to throw
leach one. If any one manages to stay
is minutes. / will pay him $500 and
800 for every additional five min
utes. This invitation is directed at all
the gladiators in the tournament now
running.
"If Zbyszko wants to show he is
not a uuitter and cares to be among
the six. so much the better. L am not
doing this in a Boosting way, but my
blood is up. If l fell, l am willing
to pay for it,"
Zbyszko gives as a reason for de-
clining to meet Stecher that he was
hurt in his match with Aberg Monday
night when he (Zbyszko) fell against
a table. Those who saw the fall claim
that the big Polish grappler was not
injured in the least However. he
passes up the match, so here the
masked marvel now becomes the
hero of the occasion.
