From Birth He Should Be Given Best
of Care and Feed to Make Maxi

(By w w. SWETT Missouri Agricultural
College.)
It is a well known and very true
saying that "the sire is half the herd"
yet this important ''half" seldom re-
ceives the attention he deserves.
From birth, the bull should be given
the best of care and feed in order that
he may make the maximum growth
and development. He should receive
plenty Of skim milk and grain and be
treated as we'll if not even better than
the heifer calves.
At the age of five to six months he
must be separated from the other
calves. From this time on he must re-

ESTIMATED VALUE OF COWS
Total Yearly Product of $66.09 Given
by New York College of Aericul-

Estimates on the value of the aver.
age dairy cows product in New York
state, made by the college Of agricul
ture, give a yearly total Of $1,000,
Costs Of maintaining her are estimated
at $61.S5, not including the cost Of la.
Dor. The difference, amounting to
only $4.25 per COW, would give to the
man who cared for 20 cows a yearly
wage of $S5, which is less than the
lowest wage paid to ordinary farm
labor.

ARMY UNIFORMS !.
ARE MADE Under
Good CONDITIONS
Secretary Baker Responsible
For Elimination Ct Sweat
shop Production.

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-As a re-
suit Of the activity of Secretary Of
War Baker, who is president of the
National Consumers league. which IS
interested in getting decent industrial
conditions for wage-earning women
especially. every army uniform pro-
vided by the government is now made
under good sanitary ana wage condj-
tons.
The officers uniforms, which must
be bought by the officers themselves
from private dealers, are still made
in sweatshops to a considerable OK
tent, but the common sold ers' cloth
ing is almost as good as union Ia
belled.
In his annual report, just out, Sec
rotary Baker says: Ito garment
working trades Of the United States
are largely composed of women and
children, and of men Of foreign ex-
traction. More than any other in
dustry in the United States it has
been menaced by the sweatshop sys-
tenn. The states have enacted codes
and established inspection agencies
to enforce sanitary conditions for
these workers, and to relieve the
evils which seem everywhere to spring
up about them. To some extent the
factory system operated under rigid
inspection has replaced home work,
and has improved conditions; but our
garment making Is an industry mid
way in it's course of being removed
1f foo NJ
under pressure Of intensive production
home work in congested tenements
has been difficult to eradicate.
Home Work Not Inspected.
'The vice of this system has been
not merely the invasion of the home
Of the worker, and the consequent
enfeeblement of the family and FAM
lily life. Work done under such. cir
cumstances escapes the inspector,
and the crowded workers in the tene-
ments are helpless in their struggle
for subsistence under conditions
which are unrelieved by an asser-
ton of the governments interest in
the conditions under which these
workers live. Moreover, wide distrib-
utiOn of garments made under such
conditions tends to spread disease,
and adds another menace from the
public point of view.
"The department determined, there
fore, to establish minimum standards
as to wages, inspection, hours, and
sanitation. These standards were in
serted in the contracts made for gar
,ment production, and a board was ap-
pointed to enforce an observance of
these standards. The effect has been
that it is now possible to say that
no uniform worn by an American
soldier is the. product of sweatshop
toll, and that as far as the govern
ment is concerned in it's purchases
it is a model employer.
'"This action has not delayed the
accumulation of necessary supplies,
and it has added to our national SELF
respect. 1t has distributed national
interest between the soldier who wears
and the worker who makes the gar
ment, regarding them each as assets,
each as elements in our aggregated
national strength"

RAIL WORKERS
FOR La TOILETTE
American Railway Employees
Journal Praises His Loyalty
to People.

NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator La
Toilette is warmly defended for his
stand on war taxation by The Ameri-
can Railway Employees journal, which
says:
within month those attacking
La Toilette will be in ridiculous po-
sition. The Wisconsin senator is
amply able to care for himself. His
efforts to put the burden of war upon
those who can bear it, and take it
off the shoulders of the class that is
sacrificing lives for their country, will
be seen in the right perspective No
amount Of camouflage from any source
will serve to shade his patriotism,
the real patriotism that has heart
and mind for all the nation. The de-
tenders of the rich profiteers can
make no effective Roadway against
the combined intelligence of an
aroused and informed people.
LA Toilette has one asset not to be
despised. He has the daily press
against him. That in itself is enough
to endear him to every thinking citi-
zen. The majority of the people thor
oughly distrust daily newspapers and
have every reason to do so. They
have become merely Gagged parrots
for their advertisers and for every
evil influence that wants to buy them
outright. ...
Their purchasers have their heads
in the sands, not being aware of the
fact that the reading millions who
really act at the polls are getting the
truth about every economic situation
from the hundreds Of weeklies and
semi-monthlies whose editing is a
matter Of pride and zeal to their pub
fishers.

FARCE COMING
TO TAELYCEuM
Max Figrnan, Star in Nothing
Bur the TRUTH" Monday and
Tuesday.

Nothing But the Truth" is farce
In the true acceptance of that much
abused word, and it will be given for
our local opinion at the Lyceum the
alter next Monday night and Tuesday
matinee and night
1t is all that the term farce i'm
plies-a clean play of abusing scenes
and absurdity of complications that
send an audience away from the the
alter saturated with laughter. That is
its mission, and it made good in New
York city, where it enjoyed laugh
ing career of over a year, and that,
too, in a city of many amusements.
The only thing serious about this play
is it's title, for when the truth mani
tests itself in the efforts of the hero
to win $4,000 wager, mirth and
laughter are very much In evidence,
and an audience is guilty of creating
them both as it watches the honest
efforts of the earnest young gentle
1l.un to add $4,000 to his fiancee's
bank book by the simple method of
telling the truth only.
And he does speak it, and therein
lies the complicatins effects of the
plot. 1t is difficult to describe in
print the absurdity of scenes and
situations, the general upsetting and
putting away Of business and domes-
tic life, and no farce has ever been
staged so replete with these as Moth
ing But the Truth"
Anderson and Weber have given
the play a star of no mean merit in
Max Figman, the we'll liked comed-
ian, and supporting cast will fully
emphasize all of its mirthful posi-
bilities. and this should afford pa
irons of the theater one of the en-
joyable evenings of the current sea-
son, for it is a funny play-it has
proven this by repeated perform
ances and we are promised a splen-
did presentation here.
