Farmer increases Income.

One South Dakota farmer increased
his labor income in one year from
$1,255 to 2 1868 by increasing his cattle
from four to forty head. The in.
creased number of cows consumed the
roughage that had gone to waste prior
TO 1916. and the farmer cashed in on
this leak. The foregoing instance is
reported by Ward A. Ostrander OF
State College, xtension division. How.
ever, in modification, he says hat II
does not pay a farmer to feed more
cattle than he Is able TO handle at a
profit. He should look ahead and plan
for the future by getting in alfalfa
and other things to warrant more cat
tie. It is better to grow into more
stock than TO jump into the game un-
less one knows the distance he can
over. Furthermore, suggests Mr. Os-
trander: Don't buy scrubs-better
wait.

SUNKEN SHIPS BEING RAISED
War Brings Day of Resurrection for
Many Vessels for Years Listed

Certainly the day of resurrection

cargo carriers that have lain at dis

struggle from their graves in the ooze,
feel again the measured clink of caulk-

with joy from the very diaphragms Of
their swelling sails as the forefoot

COAL GAS FOR AUTOMOBILE ES

Arthur II. Jackson, an English me-

York from London on his way to Hong
Kong, said that the high price of gaso-
line In England, where it sells at Sill
gallon, has caused motor power ex-
perts to experiment with compressed
coal gas for motor trucks and autemo-
biles. The point in it's favor is that
tha gas fuel costs only II cents for a
charge equal in power to gallon of
gasoline.

Jackson said, "favOrS the coal gas

output of by-products needed for ex-

commercial motor vehicles. Any en-

hours without interfering with the use
of gasoline, should any change be de-

the gas is carried in containers Ga the

SOLDIERS SMOKES
NOW ON The Way
TO men IN FRANCE

The News has received word from
the American Tobacco company at
New York to the effect that the first
shipment of tobacco kits to the sol
diers in France is now on the ocean
and will soon be in the hands OF the
American soldiers. There was consld-
cradle delay owing to the scarcity OF
ships and the fact that the Red Cross
was unable to handle them before.
Everyone Can Help.
Send 25 cents to the News office and
it will be forwarded and a kit of to-
bacco sent to some soldier, who in re-
turn will acknowledge the receipt on
a postal card enclosed in the kit.
Any kind of a contribution does
good work. Even for 25 cents you can
send enough tobacco and cigarettes
abroad to last one of our soldiers a
week. A more patriotic, and whole
hearted enterprise has never been
to say that our fellow citizens are
supporting it with open hands and
generous contributions.
But we can always use more and
more. To paraphrase now famous
expression, what is wanted is smokes,
smokes nd more smokes for our SOL
ders who are going over there to
fight for us.
Please do your o-bits''-every

ROME, September 17.-Popolo Ro-
mano explains that Italy Is the last
of all the war countries that should
be affected by the food shortage. add.
ing: Although poorer than England
and France. and because the protracted
war has brought suffering to the peo
pie. Italy should not let her troubles
appear too much on the surface nor
attempt political demonstrations or
violence"
The principal excuse for the present
unrest being the bread shortage, the
newspaper asserts that the government
proposes to issue bread cards on Oc-
tober II. limiting the Individual con-
sumption to a half-pound daily, since
tho wheat harvest was short 10000. 900
quintals.
Tho recent attacks on the ministry
were based on the Turin incidents, the
government being charged with negli-
gence in not having foresecn the short
age. and forced Italian farmers to
produce moro wheat; but it appears,
says the paper. that the shortage was
due to the lack Of workmen in tho field.
However, the Socialists and the Aus
tro-German propagandIsts and peace
parties seized on tho situation In the
hope Of causing more disturbances
among the civil population.
Parliament. when 1t meets in mid
October. according to the GiornaIe
d'Italia. is expected to pass energetic
measures to repress international sa-
botase. an instance of which was the
loss Of shipload OF wheat Off Civita
Necchia. due to improper means of
unloading.
Evidence of n new attitude of the
ministry toward internal disturbances
Is shown in General Cadorna's message
to political group in Milan, this be-
ing the first reference by tho general
on civil affairs since the war. Tho
message follows:
ANY weakness behind the lines at
this moment will be considered treason.
We are all armed now with tho Will
TO conquer. and victory is at hand.

PRESIDENT FIXES
new PRINT PRICE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o-In an or
der which newspaper publishers de-
clare will serve as an important prece-
dent, President Wilson has fixed
price OF two and one-half cents on
news print paper for use in publishing
the governments daily Official Bulle-
tin.
The order fixing the price was issu-
ed by Secretary Baker at the presi
dents direction under the national de-
tense act which empowers the govern
ment to commander supplies needed
for war purposes. 1t was directed 10
the International Paper company,
which had declined to furnish news
print for the bulletin at less than three
cents pound.
Newspaper publishers who learned
of the order today voiced the hope
that it might open the way for cheaper
newsprint to publishers generally.
They called attention to statements
by the president that the administra-
tons war policy would be one that
provides the same prices for the pub
lie as for the government.
