development.
Already in northern Italy there are
hundreds OF miles of electrified rail-
ways, but the present plans call not
only for the electrifying of every mile
of railway in Italy but for furnishing
electric power from hydraulic plants
that will supply absolutely every in
dustrial concern in the country with
out the use of a single ton Of coal.
In this way Italy not only plans to
free herself from the perpetual menace
to her national existence, which would
come from any country that might
cut off her coal supply, but also to
make possible an industrial life. which
heretofore owing to the high price OF
imported coal, has been impossible.

that Waite had designs on her life

Not long after they became &C

Mrs Horton had reason to believe,
according to her statement, that

to take some kind OF medicine. He
often asked her if she did not think
she ought to entrust her money and

HOW ITALY WILL

NO COAL IN THE LAND

ROME March 8. (By mail. )-ItaIy
has just taken the initial step toward
becoming the first entirely electrified
country in the world. It will be one
OF the permanent benefits that war
will have conferred, or rather forced
upon her.
Italy never did have coal supply
OF her own, and what wood there was
was consumed by the barbarians cen
turtles before modern Italy had a
chance to make use Of 1t. With the
outbreak Of the present war, Italy at
once realized that her greatest menace
was that Of having her coal supply,
which comes largely from England,
cut off
Within the first month Of the war
England entered into an open agree
ment with Italy to keep her supplied
with coal. The wiseacres at once
knew that italy, if she ever participant
ed in the war would enter on the
side of the allies as it was considered
certain that England would not allow
coal to be sent to Italy without a pos
tive guarantee that the coal might not
eventually be used against her.
In fact, it Is even conceded In GER
tain high official circles that the alb
solute necessity OF keeping her coal
supply helped to line italy up with the
allies as much as did other consider
atoms.
In spite Of England's promise to
keep Italy stocked, the lack Of ships,
the high cost of freighting and the Ia
Dor difficulties of England, all have
had the effect of putting Italy In q
tad way industrially.
Realizing more than ever that a
coal supply means to Italy what mast
cry of the sea means to England,
what freedom of the seas means to
Germany and what mastery Of the Pa
c:tic means to Japan. Italy has set
about to emancipate herself from this
perpetual menace.
While entirely lacking natural
coal supply. italy is blessed with per-
haps more mountains to the square
| inch than any other country In the
world. These mountains produce
nothing but useless rocks, and what up
! to date, has been useless streams ana
water falls.
! What italy now proposes to do is to
! harness all of these streams and wat
erfalls with hydraulic electric plants
that will render unnecessary a single
ton Of coal in all Italy.
| AS a matter Of fact Italy ALREADY
| has scores OF these plants, but 10 dur-
~ along scores of others a series OF
royal DEGREES has just been Issued

American ranchmen and mine OWL
ers received contradictory reports
from their Mexican properties regard
ing Villas whereabouts. One stated
villa and small following were 60

The possibility that Villa has taken
advantage of one of the Santa Clara
canyons outlets to reach the Hidalgo
country was also suggested. He has
many followers in that section.

REASONS FOR CREAM
THAT WON'T CHuRN
Sometimes Due to Bacteria That
Get Into Milk Utensils
Cause of Tainted Milk.

There is no satisfactory explanation
that always holds good for cream that
foams up and makes about twice its
former bulk and is finally thrown away
in disgust after the housewife has
churned 1t for hours without the
slightest sign OF butter. Sometimes
it is due to certain bacteria that may
get into the milk utensils or into the
cream.
More often 1t is some organic pc.
culiarity of the COW herself and mani
tests itself usually after the first half
Of the lacteal period. Where the COW
has freshened again the trouble may
never reappear or it may become
chronic, in which ase the COW should
be sold.
Tainted milk is often traced to feed
or some kind of weeds or grass the
cow is eating and sometimes to fla
vors and odors absorbed from the air
at milking time or in the milkhouse or
cellar. The exact cause Of these
things is impossible to determine at
a distance and sometimes a skilled OBJ
server right on. the ground can't
find it.

BUY BEST GRADE OF
OIL FOR MACHINERY
Lubricant tor Gas Tractor Must
Have Sufficient "Body" to
Withstand Friction.

(By d. B. sTEFFINs, Engineering De-
partment of South Dakota State Col
lege.)
Use the best grade of gas engine
cylinder oil obtainable in the gas
tractor. The oil must have sufficient
"body' to Withstand the friction and
high temperature Of the cylinder and
piston. 1t must also be an oil that
when burned will deposit the least
possible amount of carbon. Oil that
works while the engine burns gasoline
will not always give satisfactory re-
suits when using kerosene or some
less volatile fuel due to the higher
temperature of the piston and cylinder
walls. When using kerosene as a fuel,
q very high fire-test lubricating oil
should be used. Never use steam cyl
Under or ordinary machine oil in cyl
Under fabrication, as it will burn and
cause the engine to lose power.

DEATH OF CHICKENS
LAID TO ROSE BUGS
Expert Of Connecticut Station
Accumulates Data to Jus.
tify Accusation.

The New Jersey station advises that
for many years rose bugs have been
accused of causing the death of chick
ems by poisoning. Recently G. H. Lam
son Of the Connecticut station has &c
cumulated data to show this accusa-
ton is justified. Mr.. Lamson used at
least $50 chickens of various ages in
his experiments. He fed these birds
either with the rose bugs or with an
extract prepared by soaking their
crushed bodies in distilled water. 1t
was found that from Is to 20 rose
bugs we're sufficient to kill a chicken
one week old, that 25 to 40 killed the
three-weeks-old birds, and that the ten
weeks.old specimens were rarely de-
stroyed by the maximum number they
would consume. It was also found
that small chickens died within a few
hours after being fed on the extract.
Older chickens of greater weight, when
fed a small quantity Of the extract,
lived but showed signs Of poisoning.
Larger doses resulted in their death.
