Town of 200 Has 3 Depots.

The passengers who gets off the
train at Ben Allen, new town in
Logan county, needs to make sure
that he is not seeing double or triple,
for Ben Allen, although with less
than 200 inhabitants, has three rail-
way depots.
Moreover, each of the three depots
bears the name of a different town.
1t all happened as a result of a
mixup in trying to start a new town
when the Scott City and Northern
Railway was built through Logan
county on its way from Scott City to
Kinona.
Two towns sprang up, one named
Keystone and another christened FL
Kader. Later the two towns were
merged and consolidated on a new
town site named Ben Allen, in honor
of the chief engineer who surveyed
the route across the county. So
three depots now stand at Ben Allen,
each bearing a different town name.

p. G. Adams. 2511 Elizabeth av-
enuc. Zion City, fell from a street
car at Clinton street and Washing
ton boulevard and broke his leg. A
dozen persons who dismounted from
the car and several pedestrians
laughed at him.
Adams, who is railroad man,
miscalculated either his distance
from the cObblestone pavement, the
speed of the car, or the icy condition
Of the street. He fell with a groan.
The breaking OF his leg doubled that
member under him and the fracture
was distinctly heard.
A look of dismay clouded Adams
face as he fell, and he appealed
mutely for aid. None came. In
stead, the onlookers grinned fool
ishly.
Adams finally induced a bystander
to bring hi ma piece of board. I'm
AIDED he split the board into bits
and made some rude splints.
Through all this preparation for
rude surgery Adams gave no sign of
pain. Once or twice his face slightly
furrowed. But save for the groan
that escaped him when he fell he
pres rived an almost suave stoicism.
With such precision as was posi-
BILE in the circumstances he adjusted
the rude splints to his leg, fastened
item tightly and stumped away

SOY BEANS USEFUL CROP
May Be Utilized in More Ways
Than Most Any Other
Farm Crop.


one OF the most important cash
crops of Asia and which promises to
take an important place in the agri-
cultural industry of the United
States, may be utilized in a greater
number and greater variety OF
ways than almost any other agricul-
tural product. The whole beans
may be utilized for food as are the
seeds of other legumes, or the oil
alone may be consumed. The oil re-
sembles that of cotton seed in many
ways, but is of a more pronounced
character. In addition to it's avail
ability as a food, soy-bean oil has
found important uses in the markets
of the world for making paints, var
nishes, soaps, rubber substitutes,
linoleum, waterproof goods, and lub-
ricants. 1t is also used in the ORR
ent for lighting and in the manufac-
ture of printing ink.
In Japan the soy bean forms one
of the most important articles of
food in use. 1t is one of the princi-
pal ingredients in the manufacture
of shoyu (soy sauce), misc (bean
cheese, tofu (bean curd), and nat
to Steamed beans). The beans are
eaten also as vegetable and In
soups; sometimes they are pic'-cd
green, boiled, and served cold with
soy sauce, and sometimes as a salad.
A vegetable milk" is also produced
from the soy bean, forming the basis
for the manufacture of the different
kinds of vegetable cheese. This
milk is used fresh, and a form of
condensed milk is manufactured
from it. All of these foodstuffs are
used daily in japanese homes, for
the poorer classes are the principal
source of protein.
The use of the meal remaining af-
ter the oil is extracted from SOY
beans has become an important fac
tor in several European countries
during the last few years. and to
some extent in America, as a food
of low-starch content. Soy beans
contain at the most but a slight
trace of starch. and extensive expe-
riments in America and Europe indi-
cate the value of the bean and its
products as the basis of foods for
persons requiring a low-starch diet
Soy-bean flour enters largely as a
constituent in many of the so-called
diabetic breads, biscuits, and crack
ers manufactured as food special
ties. The flour or meal can be used
successfully in the household as
costituent of mullins. bread, and bis
cults in much the way in which corn
meal is used.
SOy-Bean Milk.
An artificial milk like that manu-
featured in the Orient has been pro
duced in small quantities in the
United States, and recently factory
has been equipped to make this pro-
duct Such milk can be used for
cooking in the household and by
bakeries, confectioners, and choco-
late manufacturers. II, however,
the milk from the soy bean is used
in the manufacture Of products as
substitute for milk. the labels of
such products should indicate that
the substitution has been made; 9TH
erwise II would constitute adultera-
ton under the Food and Drugs Act.
In addition to it's use for flour
and milk. the soy bean can be pre-
pared as human food In numerous
ways. The green bean. when from
three-fourths to full grown. has been
found to compare favo, ably with the
butter o, Lima bean The soy bean

Hachita, n. NJ, Feb. 16.-Three
bodies, later identified as those of
Andrew p. Peterson, Hugh Accord
and Burton Jensen, We're found late
today by Lem Spillsbury, former
scout with Gen. Pershing. The bod
les of the three American cowboys
were found on the Mexican side of
the border. three miles south of
Monument No. SO, situated three
miles west of the Corner Ranch.
The bodies were about fifty feet
apart. according to Spillsbury. Each
victim had been shot many times in
the head.
Hugh Acord's head was mutilated
with machete, according to Spills
bury. All of the bodies were striI-
ped of clothing, hats and shoes,
Spillsbury said.

tries as sIbs:;tute for the coffee |

Stock Feed.
Tue value OF soy-bean meal for
pre- tMcing meat, milk, and butter is
we'll established. 1t is one of the
cheapest of the highly nitrogerous
feeding stuffs and is therefore one
of the most economical for balancing
rations deficient in nitrogen. It's
use in America is confined at the
present time almost entirely to the
Pacific States, where it is considered
valuable feed not only by dairy
men but also by poultrymen. Ow-
ing to its high content of protein
the meal should be used with other
highly concentrated feeds to avoid
digestive troubles. AS regards d.
sestibility, soy-bean meal compares
very favorably with other oil meals
The utilization of soy-beann meal
for fertilizing purposes has been
confined almost entirely to Asiatic
countries. Following the recent pro-
duction in the Southern States of
bean cake and oil from American
grown beans, however, fertilizer
manufacturers have taken an active
interest in the fertilizing possibili-
ties of the meal. Analysis by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture have shown that while soy
bean meal, like cottonseed meal, has
high fertilizing value when appli-
ed directly, a more economical prac-
tice would be to feed the meal to
stock and apply the resulting ma
nure to the soil.
SOy-Bean Oil.
In the United States two methods
of extracting oil from soy beans
the hydraulic aid the eXpeller pro-
cesses-are used by oil mills, the lat
ter producing the highest yields. EX-
tensive tests with domestic beans in
dictate that l ton of seed will yield
by the expeller process an average of
90 gallons of oil and 1000 pounds
of meal, the difference (about It's
pcunds) representing the loss due to
cleaning and the evaporation of
moisture driven off after the beans |
have been crushed and heated.

Follows Raiders Trails,

Spillsbury found the raiders trail
early this morning and followed
them during the day, coming upon
the abandoned bodies late this after
noon. From what he could learn,
the Mormon scout said he was con-
vicced that the three murdered men
had been taken into Mexico from
American soil and then killed.
A Government agent, after an
investigation of the raid, reported
to Washington that the Mexicans
under Prudencio Miranda were eat
ing dinner at ranch house on the
American side when Peterson, Jen-
sen and Accord rode up unarmed. The
Americans were made prisoners.
His report also confirmed prev
iOus reports of the Corner Ranch
raid.
From later adyices to military Of
iicers the reported raid on Lang's
ranch and the killing of two Ameri-
can ranchmen was believed to be
baseless.
Wife Held As Hostage.
Ed CBunkD Spencer, the Ameri-
