EXCHANGES

1t is almost pitiful, the way some
of the young fellows are trying
suddenly to become economically
indispensable to their wives before
the draft is made.
1t is said that man-eating shark
will eat one man and then not be
man-hungry again for several weeks.
Unfortunately that is not true of
the submarine. If it were, we have
a little list by which we could get
rid of the U-boat menace in less
than a week.
Curiously enough. of all the
fashions America has received from
Paris, extravaganza was never one
of them.
An Oklahoma dispatch relates
that a young man met his death
very suddenly, after prodding a
mule with a shotgun" The shot
gun seems to have been a mere de-
tail, having no part in the general
result.
"A pastor seeks arrest" says a
headline. That's one of those
double-barreled headlines-read it
from the paper, and it suggests a
remarkable situation. Read it
aloud, however, and it becomes
characteristic of a good many pas
tors.
Louis Swift, jr., heir to great
wealth, has been detailed to assist
a negro army cook. Another pluto,
a golfer of note, is driving 2-mule
garbage cart. War is truly a great
leveler. Let us hope it brings
others up as far as it has taken
these young men down.
How a man with a big bass voice
loves to exercise it. Also a man
with little squeaky tenor voice.

ence on our economic activities, but

Raise More Poultry

For the past twenty-four months
we have been killing the goose that
has been laying the golden egg,
and with the hue and cry of costly
feed, poultry and all meat products
have been soaring far above all the
usual estimates as to the relative
cost of production. and the selling
price. The margin Of profit on the
production of eggs and poultry for
meat is far in excess of the per-
centage Of profit in normal times.
But aside from the question of
profit, we Americans must look at
the situation from a philanthropic
and humanitarian standpoint and
each and every one "do his bit" to
meet an exigency that seems inevi-
table. Let us all try to be factor
in the production of an extra hun
dred million pounds of poultry
meat which is less than one pound
additional for each man, woman
and child in the United States.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued an esti-
mate that upwards of seven hun
dred millions Of dollars is the an
nual tribute paid by Americans to
the garbage can. Why not convert
this into feed to produce poultry
and eggs.
Every home can have self-sup-
porting and profitable flock in the
back yard by converting the offal
from the table and kitchen into the
very choicest Of poultry feed. Why
such an astounding waste, an utter
extravaganza that costs US nearly
seven dollars for every man, woman
and child in the United States?
Let every home have neat poultry
house and q few we'll kept, profit
able fowls. sThe editor of this pub
LEGATION will be only too pleased to
cooperate with every reader desir-
ing any information.
1t is not unusual for the fanciers
to quit Matching with April. Let
me urge that Matching be continued
during the months of May and June
and also during July in a large
part of our country. Let the old
hen do her part-fill up the incuba-
tors-keep them going through
May and June-the results will be
worth while. Let US be prepared
to consume every bit of table and
kitchen scraps and make them a
source of profit.-President Ameri-
can Poultry Association.

1T MIGHT BE WORSE

We become impatient here in the
Palouse at times. Recently there
has been an excess of rain and
leaden skies; the roads are bad and
the season is backward. But it
might be worse. All around US in
Idaho, as in the adjoining states,
they have been suffering from high
water and floods; bridges have been
going out and other great damage
has been wrought. There has been
nothing of this in this immediate
vicinity.
From east come the reports of
horrible tornadoes killing people by
the hundred and wrecking property
to the extent of millions. There
has been nothing of this in this part
of the west.
1t is needless to speak of the
horrors of war in which millions
just as good as we are directly in
volved.
No. when the situation is proper
ly canvassed it will be found that
