ARITHMETIC AS APPLIED TO FLOUR.

THERE is little boy at Capitol Hill who has been
studying arithmetic for several years. He has enooun
tered many problems which he work his sasac
tion he called the teacher but didn't get the inioma
tion he seeks
Now, happens that this little boy eats bread possibly
other little boys also bread but this quite
concerned about the various stories which he reads in the
newspapers about charging 10 cents for loaf OF bread
which sold for dime
In looking through the arithmetic the Capitol Hill boy
example which pcrtaincd to big milling
firm at Minneapolis 1t seems that the book called for
labor the part OF the school boy tell how much flour
should wheat should be sold certain price The
boy has worried long he and submits the
question to those who may be skilu with the figures
Here's what the boy wants know What should flour
cost ii wheat should be bought by the Minneapolis miller
in the amounts and prices as follows:

Now the boy thinks that the Minneapolis miller bought
lot of wheat when the price 81 a bushc Also he
thinks that wheat advanced the miller up in Minnesota
bought more wheat And he would not be surprised he
learned that the miller bought single buhe OF wheat
last week for s. from poor farmer who put up hard
luck story about needing s. buy pair OF shoes so that
his boy would have something to keep his feet these
cold mornings in Minnesota where the temperature still
holds at low levels
While the little boy at Capitol Hill has not advanced
far in mathematics he has computed the value OF wheat
as shown in the above purchases which he thinks
made by the Minneapolis miller and he finds that the
average OF the wheat as shown by the table above
is Sl06 bushcl
II the boy find some one in the classes of higher
mathematics to inform him what the price OF flour should
be- and whether should be based 81 wheat or 81 wheat

THE REJECTED OFFICERS.

NEARLY onehaf OF the young men from Oklahoma
who applied for admission the officers corps
will return home having been rejected for physical reasons
The medical officers searching in their examinations
only those men who were sound physically and who met
the requirements of weight were accepted
The young men who volunteered who left attractive
places who severed home ties who displayed loyalty yet
were rejected entitled to high honor for their willing
the military service and be assigned to places
which they would best fit Rejection is not to their dis
credit and it brings up interesting question.
Why could these not meet the physical and hygicnc
test1 Who is to blame? The rejected started in life
with practically the opportunities those who were
accepted physically fit Somewhere along the line,
between infancy and mature years to have
been ncgectful
1t safe guess to state that the ,ones who
accepted for army service had advantages which 80 uted
in good health and normal weight 1t is another safe guess
that the young who accepted have had military
training and athletic training while their parents have at
the time, supplied exceptional instruction in rules
OF health
We will assume that young told to stand
aside account OF weak lungs Which suggests that it is
duty to give every aid to the organization which is
working ceaselcssy in Oklahoma Danish tuberculosis
II this organization had been given powerful support during
the years OF the past two decades, then all young men

Ii is an arragnment OF many of us it is silent plea
that we get TO work and help the society which is devons
long hours each day exngush the dread white plaques
Then we will assume that many of the young men were
rejected on account Of the condition OF their teeth Which
is another arragpment of neglect the part OF those who
should have looked after the teeth of children When
do not have the right kind OF teeth they are unable

lack of development for which adults must assume the
responsibility.
So with this lesson staring us in the face all of us
must confess to share in the neglect which has prevailed
And it will be reminder that in the future the health
and development of the child shall be given more attention
There must be sound bodies and therefore sound minds

WAR TAXES ON OIL.

WORD comes from oil interests that the oil men ar.
breathing uneasly at the prospect of being taxed 10
help pay war expenses This attitude has a strange ap-
pearance, since the impression prevails that those who
invested in oil property and stocks and leases had piled
up hinge profits and were rolling in wealth
Readers OF newspapers are inclined to the idea that
the oil men invited tax on themselves by reason
OF having stated in display advertisements that
enormous gains had resulted from Shoe string" invest
men in the crude stuff which has made so many million
aires in Oklahoma
For instance read in publication that the public
is invited to buy share OF stock-par value slior dime
some other amount far below par In connection with
the allung invitation it stated that six bits invested
in stock OF the Balloon Petroleum company brought the
investor the of $l2ll7-that woman who bought s.
worth of shares in the Pink Sky Crude association cashed
out for $500 Immediately after the drill hit the grass on
top of the location .
Then it was noted tina, drayman who saved Sli and
invested the total in stock Of the -Four Flush Oil corpora
ton Ltd is the OF a million dollar home and
has pipe line full OF government bonds
All this authentic information which has appeared in
print suggests that the oil able pay their Bit OF

Is fire blight. 1t attacks the pear as
well as the apple and ounce. 1t de-
velops to a serious degree almost ev.
cry year in pears. 1t rarely causes as
much injury in apples as it did last
year. 1t is caused by a bacterial para.
site which develops in the growing lay
er of the tree caused by a bacterial
parasite which develops in the growing
layer Of the tree causing the tissues
to die during spring and early summer.
There Is no other known preventive
than cutting out and burning the
blighted parts, according to J. G. Whit.
ten of the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture. .
The best time to cut out blight is in
late winter or early spring just before

FURNISH PROTEIN FOR soWs
Alfalfa and Glover Hay Can Be Made
Use OF to Supply Necessary Con.
s~tituent at Low Cost.

In wintering the breeding herd there
arises the question Of a cheap source
of protein. Where available. alfalfa
and clover hay can be made use Of in
furnishing this necessary constituent
at a low cost. The hay may be used
whole or chopped, put in racks, and
fed according to the appetites of the
hogs.
If the sows have nursed a large lit
ter, it will be necessary to feed a grain
ration in addition to alfalfa The
amount will vary from one and ne
half to two and one-half pounds per
10 pounds live weight daily, depending
upon individuality and the condition
of the sows when winter feeding be-
gins.
A SOW will lose weight while nursing
q litter, and she must regain this
weight before her next narrowing time
and carry her next litter in addition.
In case sows are WinterCd without al

parts and tankage one part, or corn
five parts and oil meal one part, or

parts, and tankage n part may be
