HELP SAVE THE GAME

\ MONO the most modern of the fallacies that have A been brought to attention is that of the road A runner being protected by state laws for no other reason than that old fogy" told that he saw roadrunner building cactus corral around sleep ing rattlesnake
 The writer of this article has personally investigated this proposition among the many residents of this sec
 on the greater part of whom cowboys and outside and who would undoubtedly have knowledge of the value of roadrunners rattlesnake destroyers such they were and the unanimous to all queries was 'that there was nothing to it"
 But during this same investigation we did find that roadrunners good destroyers not of ratesnakes but of our plucky little game br the quail and for proof of single instance can gve necessary, number of of local business men, who present on hunt during the season just passed when roadrnner was caught in the act of nppg the head from the last one of covey of dozen little quail.
 The numbers of baby quail destroyed each year by this bird pest in section only be guessed for there are myriads of roadrunners which make their home in valleys and there is law against their destruction many who would like to kill them off, fearful of the consequences
 We believe that if this problem is brought to the at tenton of state game warden and others who n terested in the conservation of small remaining DOT tons of game that they will take active steps to it that the protection afforded these pests will be removed and instead bounty placed on them for their destruction

COLLAPSE IN GERMANY

HNHOSE who do not fully realize the importance of
 railroads to the safety of the nation should read the
 following extracts from special article in the Chi cago Daily News written by Raymond B. Swing, Berlin correspondent who recently returned to this country and IS therefore free from German influence Here is what MT. Swing says:
 The really acute danger for Germany is the German railway system. Hitherto it has been Germanys great est strength the pulsatng arteries of her national tony The railways have made it possible for the Central Powers to utilize their advantage of the inner lines But the German railways giving way The roadbeds are rocking the cars wearing out and the locomotives cannot haul the loads which must be hauled if Germany is to win the Germany cannot manufacture enough locomotives and cars to herself Machine toos hard steel and workmen are wanting vouchsafe the state ment that the German government would willingly pay more for 200 American locomotives than for all the wheat raised west of the Mississippi last summer The govern ment is keenly aware of the danger Freight which is not needed for the national service not being carried Passenger traffic is being cut down to the minimum and is unbeevably uncomfortable Parcels post is only for warded on certain days
 The food problems of many cities are really trans portaton problems"

War has given the unmarried man some of the dignity which he lacked in peace. Ordinarily the bachelor is tolerated for what he may become rather than for what he is. Mothers would not welcome him into society nor girls take pleasure in his atten- tions if it were thought that he would always remain a bachelor. The hope of converting him into married man furnishes one of the main incentives of all social activities. As this hope declines he becomes more and more a misft in a world which brides itself on finding an exactly shaped corner for every one of its inhabitants who is worth troubling about. His socks are not darned, his buttons are not sewed on, and the number of Jumps of sugar which he likes in his coffee, the degree of boiledness which he de- mands in his eggs, are nobOdy's bus mess but his own. He is free, a con- dition which in youth makes him the envy of his married friends, but in latter years makes him envy them. He can go anywhere he pleases at any time he pleases without having to ar que the matter with a woman, but the reason is that no woman cares what he does. He is free because no one is interested enough in him to care to put shackles on him.
 There is no fixed place for him. He stands free of the burden of the bene- diets endeavors, but at a cost. He sees men and women doing things for mo- tives which he cannot understand. So- cial-forces of various sorts perplex him because he does not see their hid

scene of activity on board and in the water. The bluejackets with their lit- tie white caps seem to be always nov ing about, motor dories dart here and there among the ships, orders are called out and occasionally is heard the shrill warning of the horn on the dories. Always the dories are running from ships to shore, loaded with men going on leaves or returning to ship. Wireless and searchlights which at night replace the flag signals and are exchanging messages and lights on board each ship flicker up and out in Morse code.
 In the midst of all this is heard the strains of string music-guitars, banjos and violins-which seem to be favor ties with the American boys. From the deck of the supply or mother ship, which boasts a string orchestra of fifteen pieces, Hawaiian melodies en- chant the music lovers on shore. From other ships music comes from the pho nographs, with which every ship in the flotillas is supplied. On week-ends many of the townspeople crowd into small boats and swarm about the destroyers in their anxiety to get as close as possible to the music.

 HERO OF WAR TIMES

den origins. What is plain enough to any mediocre husband is often a hope less puzzle to even the most thoughtful bachelor. He cannot fully understand any intangible loyalty because he is no longer in contact with the source of loyalty-the relations between parents and children. For certain adventures he can be depended upon to furnish dash and enthusiasm, but for the steady, grinding work of everyday life he is inferior to his married neighbor. Civic progress relies principally upon the man whose interests carry over in to the next generation and are not confined to his own corporeal welfare.
 But this somewhat pathetic figure of the bachelor is wonderfully dignifed by the advent of war. The married man, in most cases, is handicapped from fighting. His business is to raise wheat and children, a necessary task, but lacking the appearance of glory. Chivalry beyond the dream of medley al nighthood may animate the man who helps his wife take care of the babies, preparing their bottles and hanging out their clothes, but in times of war he is not heroic figure. The demand then is not for men who have found their places in the world, but for those who have not. The wifeless, landless, footfree person is the stuff of which armies can be made with the least possible social loss. Because he was so forlorn in peace he is ionized in war. He marries war and the gov ernment sews his buttons on and darns the holes in his socks.-San Fran cisco Bulletin.

WSCOUNT BRYCE PRAISES '. M. |. A.
 WORK DURING WAR

LONDON, August 4. - Viscount Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States, has written a let ter to E. c. Carter, secretary for France and England of the Young Mems Christian Association, com mending the work of that organization among the soldiers of the entente al- lies and suggesting that the American association will be able to render the greatest possible service to the Amer ican expeditionary forces.
 Arrangements for the work of the American organization are well under way both in France and in England, but definite and positive plans will not be completed until more is known of the strength of the American forces, where they will be located and when they will arrive. Meanwhile, the Young Mems Christian Association is doing everything possible to provide for comfort and entertainment of those American sailors and soldiers who already are in Europe.
 q can truly say" Viscount Bryce writes in his letter, "that I have heard from every quarter, including many naval and military authorities, the warmest acknowledgment of the ex- cellent work done by the Young Mems Christian Association during these three terrible years of war, for the British, Canadian and Australian sol diers both in camps here and at home and among the troops on the various fighting fronts. Many plans have been devised, many methods success fully employed, to provide for their benefit comforts, recreation, literature of the right sorts and many other influences.
 q believe that the American asso- citation, which will have the advantage of our experience, which will be work ed with true American energy, and which may command even larger funds than we had, may render the greatest possible services in France to those American soldiers who Britain and France rejoice to welcome as their allies in this fight for free dom and right"

Cor of the Associated Press). a steep activity that skirts the harbor of this port much like the Palisades do the Hudson river, hun dreds of villagers and folk from a nearby city gather each night to watch the American destroyers-the trim little fighting ships Uncle Sam has sent across the Atlantic to combat the submarines. On a peaceful, beautiful, moonlight night these people have a picture of silent activity that is hard to beat.
 From their high perch the people can see for several miles a vast eX- panse of hills and water that make a wonderful setting for the fighting craft at their feet. The British and American sailors on shore leaves bring their girls up there and men and wom- en trudge baby carriages from miles around to watch the silent ships. It has come to be one of the most popu- lar walks in the country; even the rail roads run weekend excursions to the spot bringing hundreds of holiday clad boys and girls from great dis tances to see the Americans.
 Up to a certain hour the ships are outlined in the darkness by many lights. But all the time there is a

THE MANURlAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS.

Nations cfcs Improvement esryfcs.J
Nitrogen is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
stion states that 1t was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed In
q table that eighteen of fifty-two diff
.ferent feeds contained 3.93 per cent.
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed. middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
/. few Of the feed mixtures 1t Is OBJ
yious, therefore, that wise selection
of feeds enhances the value Of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.

Stockfood consists briefly of three
chief parts or compounds, emitting
the water and minerals. They are:
Protein containing nitrogen),
muscle former.
Fat (not containing nitrogen). a
fuel or fattening substance.
Carbohydrates (meaning made OF
carbon, hydrogen and OXYGEN.
These three substances are called
organic matter because they will
burn.
Mineral matter is called inorganic.
An animal can live on protein alone,
but would not under normal condi-
lions, because protein cor albumen)
is only found mixed with fat in the
case of meat and with fat and carbo-
hydrates in the case of plants and
cereals. Familiar examples Of pro-
tein are white of egg, lean meat and
the gluten which can be chewed out
of wheat. Fat or oil we all know.
Carbohydrates include sugar,
starch, cellulose, fibre. gums, etc
To keep alive and not lose weight
an animal must have small amounts
of protein and larger amounts OF rat
or carbohydrates. They serve as
building material TO replace WORKOUT
tissue and flesh and also to furnish
power (energy) to move, work, and
do all the inside work of the body.
The ash or mineral matter fur
nishes bone material and is also nee
essary but soundant in nature. A
growing animal needs plenty OF pro
tein and ash bone food and of car
bohydrates and fat. A grown-up ami
NAL needs less of either the first two
but plenty Of the last two. A preg-
nant animal needs plenty of food for
It's unborn young.

There are not d dozen feed stores
in the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients of tirst-class mixed
feed at all times and at reasonable
prices, and usually they do not carry
feeds OF the same high quality used
by the mixers who work scientifically
through a laboratory This is human
nature. Competition compels dealer
to sell the cheapest quality. The best
quality Of feed is seldom carried, be-
cause the average buyer Will not pay
the highest price. A good many ex-
pertinent stations in general way
will advocate that farmer mix all
his own feed, but they are human like
the rest OF us and they will use recOg-
nized brands in their own feeding
operations rather than go to the trou-
Bile and take the time to follow their
own advice.
There are good many herds at
experiment stations which are kept as
|. sort of clinic for professors to prae-
tice theories upon The poor brutes
are used q good deal as guinea pigs
in hospital practice. On the other
hand, at the experiment stations are
to be found many OF the finest ami
mails ever bred.
? The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
do this widens your ration, and it is
correct to do SO If it will reduce your
cost OF feeding Mixed feeds, there
fore, are largely matter of arith-
metic.
You can usually get the result for
less money than by feeding more ex,
pensive grains separately.
