The ONLY GOOD WAY
TO KEEP MILK SWEET
Follow Two Simple Rules and
Milk Will Bring the Best
Price on the Market

When milk or cream is sold from
the farm, doubtless the farmer has
often had losses due to the products
becoming sour. Whether the milk or
cream is intended for the table, the
creamery or the milk market, II must
b sweet IL II Is to bring the best
price.
To keep milk sweet, just two simple
things must be carefully looked after:
(1) X must be cooled as completely
and as quickly after milking as poss1-
bic. and (2) absolute cleanliness Of
paiIs, cans. and cows must be Sc
cured. II this is done, thunder storms
will no longer sour the milk. The
warm. damp weather which we have
just before thunder storms really docs
tend to cause milk to sour because Il
has not been properly cared for.

WOULD SOUND DOOM
OF FIVE CENT LOAF

Chicago, Sept. S.-Recommenda-
tiohs TO all bakers of the United
states that the cent loaf of bread
he abandoned and the 10 cent loaf
standardized were made after CON
siderable discussion at the closing
session OF the executive committee
OF the National Association of Nastcr
Bakers here today. They argued
that the recommendations be put in
to effect Immediately.
Economic waste incident to tho
manufacture of the cent loaf was
emphasized as a reason for its dis
continuance. Saving in manufac.
ture, Improvement in quality and
Standardization are urged in favor
OF the 10 cent loaf.
III Is also recommended that where
local conditions make il necessary
the smaller loaf may be maintained
with a price consistent with the cost
OF manufacture.
The bakeres cited the following
percentage of increase in cost of in
gredients in the manufacture of
bread within the past two years ::
Patent -four 100 per cent; rye l24
per cent; sugar sc per cent: short
ening 60 per cent; milk 40 per cent !:

At this season of the year cotton wilt
Is very active; and, reports from va
rfous sections OF the State indicate
that this troublesome disease is more
widespread this season than ever be-
fore. Until recently, wilt has been
confined to the coastal plain but now
1t is also being reported from the
Piedmont section; so. every farmer in
the State should keep a close lookout
for the disease and as soon as It is
found take steps to prevent it's spread.
Plants affected with this disease
shed their leaves, wilt and die. Upon
examination, the wilted plants will be
found to be black on the inside. II the
stem is split open black streaks are
found beneath the bark and in the tis.
sues OF the stem. This black colora-
ton is very characteristic of wilt.
Cotton wilt is caused by fungus

through plows or implements Of any
kind that carry soil from the diseased
areas to other parts OF the farm. It
might also be carried in drainage
water.
Where the disease is found in the
fields at this season OF the year, pre-
cautions should be taken TO prevent
Its spread. Cut out the diseased patches
and do not plow through them, and pre-
vent drainage water from these
patches from getting on to other parts
OF the farm. 1t is also a good plan
to pull up and destroy thu diseased
plants where wilt occurs in small
patches
When wilt is already prevalent. II
can be controlled by the use OF dis
ease resistant varieties. The Dixie
and the Dillon are two varieties which
are almost immune TO the trouble.
These varieties are being grown sue.
cessfully on lands which are so badly

to put those who are suffering from

Sir: In tonight's issue of the Star
Bulletin there appears a letter writ

which he expresses decided crouch
against the spirit of army officers as
displayed toward enlisted men.
This is the first time | have ever
essayed the role of PRO Bono Publ
co, and don't expect my letter to get
further than the waste basket; but
as an enlisted man am going to write
protest to such letters as the one in
question being allowed to go unchal.
lenged. BID Ii.
A peaceful nation makes but little
history and the contented element in
the army is seldom heard from.
There are two classes, however, who
are constantly bowling: There is the
"guardhouse lawyer" He is hard
when he first leaves the slums to fol-
low the flag and is Just going through
the .softening" process, or else is on
the winding road that leads to Alca.
traz, His opinions have but little
weight. His appearance is against
him and he seldom comes in contact
with people who are really worth
while.
The class who do really injure the
service are the letter writer's. Chester
shaves with safety razor and smokes
cork-tipped coffin nails. He has left
the dear old home" and enlisted with
the ultimate aim of going up for a
commission. He is a gentleman for
he says sol, and is very sensitive. 1t
hurts him to be treated as a subaltern
by any one. I once heard a dozen of
them rave long and loud over the
fact that a certain public speaker had
actually addressed his audience as
Ladies, Gentlemen and Soldiers of
Sehofield Barracks" They thought it
had implied that they were not gen.
tlenen. Wasn't it awful,
/ shall not attempt to interpret just
what Follower of the Flag means
to imply when he cites for the reader
a certain paragraph which has to do
with an officers conduct toward en-.
listed men, but ] will say that army
officers are gentlemen and treat en-
listed men as most Of US want to be
treated
Personally / feel that | have my
dignity as an enlisted man to uphold
and do not want officers to impose
upon it. My experience leads me to
the conclusion that officers who keep
their distance recognize the fact that
a hair. divides the difference twixt the
two and the officer who would attempt
to be familiar with me would Judge
to be q man whose actions SAVIOR of
patronage, He is not honoring me a
bit; but he thinks he is.

plies to civilians as well as to enlisted
men and perhaps no one has any bust.
ness on the road except the ones who
live there. ~
But this is too trivial subject to
discuss. Dear Followers of the Flag"
we are not, as good soldiers, to dis
cuss the merits of an order coming
from our superior and then obey it
willingly. The point is this: You've
got to do il. .s.......

MAJOR METTLER

U. S. Army Officer Explains
Designing, Proving and Fir
ing of Defense Guns

Maj. c. G. Mettler, U. S. A., was tn,
principal speaker at the Rotary Clul
luncheon held today at the CONNER
cial Club. He selected for his subject

forty minutes, and his remarks wer,
given full attention by the members
He explained the scientific phases o
artillery in 4 manner that was interest
ing to the layman. I. =
In his, talk be explained the work
lngs of the defense guns from design
ing. mounting. though to the proving
and actual firing. During his remarks
he explained the increase of price. Of
the various chemicals which are ne
cessary In explosives At one time the
rrice of certain property of coal tai
VAS seven cents pound. Since the
beginning of the war the price Ii
creased to $3.50 pound
Major Mettler explained how the
I.dison people Of Orange, N. j., agreed
10 furnish the property, and Is chem
lists were put to work, and finally the
Edison Company announce that they
would furnish the material for Sc
cents a pound to the army and navy.
At the present time the government is
saving the by-product of coal tar.
Coast Defense Real Problem.
Americas problem is not to build
the mammoth guns that are used on
the European battlefields," said Ma.
jor Mettler. The aim is rather to pro.
duce guns which will be strong enough
10 defend the coast from warships.
Anti-air craft must also be considered
in preparing the campaign.
up until 1898 nothing much had
been done in building big guns for. the
campaigns, with the exception of the
French gun which was used in the
Franco Prussisn war The United
States later had q gun of practically
the same caliber
The guns at Fort Ruger and Fort
lie Russy are made with two tubes,
Gre shrunk on the other. One of
these is heavily wound with wire, and
then the breach is made. The same
powder is not used in small gun
that is used in the larger kinds.
Should the same powder be used one
of the guns would burst. Powder may
be powder TO the layman, but not
to those who have to worl. with the
heavy guns, E..
Describes Fighting Methods.
In curtain of fire the guns are
lnassed on one point at the same
range, and the earth is thrown up to
allow the troops to pass through. SAN
other curtain of fire Is also dropped
farther back to keep the enemy from
sending up reinforcements. -.
The life of gun is about 800
shets. When more shots than that are
fired the gun becomes inaccurate, and
is then sent back to the Sandy Hook
yard and repaired. The cost of re-
building one of the coast defense guns
is about $4,000, while the cost of a new
gun is more than $4,000 he conclud-
ed. " ~.l
