DISCOVER WEALTH IN WASTE
Government Has Found Use for Trifies
That Hitherto Have Been consid-
cred Of No Value.

In illustration Of the truth that it
is the little things in life that count,
the department of commerce reports
experiments in waste saving that
have yielded valuable results, Thom-
as f. Logan writes in Leslie's. The
bureau of standards has found way
to conserve the scraps of paraffin
paper stock hitherto destroyed or
sold with difficulty because no COM
merclal process was known for re-
moving the wax. This problem was
solved by the bureau, and the waste
material is now being utilized for
practical purposes. Other waste in
vestlgatlons have given material re-
turns IN the treatment of clay, mate
rlals for making concrete, materials
for papcr-making, and the saving of
unused materials in the making of
buttons. The fisheries service of
the department of commerce likewise
reports gratifying success in cult
waiting the public taste for tileish,
graytish formerly known as dog
fish,, and the wholesome sea mus
sci, all being practical attacks on
the high cost of living. On October
l, 1915, the tilefsh was unknown to
the consumer as food. At the end
Of the last fiscal year 4,125,OOO
pounds of it had been sold. Since
then the catch has been at the rate
of 20,OO0,OOO pounds per annum.

AMERICAN NAVY WILL
GET INTO FRAY

Washington, ANil l2.-With high
British and French naval officers IN
conference here with American naval
officers, definite steps have been taken
toward participation of the American
navy in the war against Germany.
Patrol of the entire Atlantic sea-
board, reaching southwark to the Pan
anna canal zone and possibly northwaft
to include Canada, will be the first
duty of the American ships. With that
goes the necessity of guarding against
the probable extension of the German
submarine campaign to include ap'
proaches to American ports.
British and French ships now on pa
troll duty will be withdrawn as soon as
American forces have their lines estab-
lished.

COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT
Automobiles Had for Some Time
Been Riding With 4 Chicken.

Neal McLeaster, who is employed
at the Hill Crest farm, three miles
west of Columbus, had an errand to
perform. He jumped into his auto
mobile and drove to Columbus, then
went four miles east and returned.
He stopped at restaurant to get
some lunch. Boese and Wood, po-
lcemen, sauntered past.
81 heard chicken" said Boese.
"That was a man." Wood replied.
"1 don't mean that kind of a
chicken" Boese insisted. 81 mean
a chicken with feathers"
They Investigated, and found a
White Plymouth Rock pullet on the
rear axle Of McLeaster's machine.
They called him out and asked him
seriously what he knew about riding
with chickens. McLeaster indig-
nantly denied the charge, and con-
tended that he had been out on
legitimate business. Then the police
men pointed to the chicken, and Nc
Leaster gave up. He said it was the
first time he ever took chicken rid
ing when the chicken insisted on
using the rear axle as a seat.-Indi.

EASTER SERVICES IN
GLENW00D CHURCHES
Continued from page ~
ST. BARNABAS
EPISCOPAL CHURCH


The services at st. Barnabas church
were well attended. The building was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
and grouping of flags set around an
American shield was put in place over
the altar, to remain there during the
period of war.
In the fresh brightness of the early
morning the first service, held at 1880
was most impressive.
At 10 clock the children gathered
for their Easter exercises and received
a gift of Easter eggs and presented
their offerings for missions.
Morning prayer was read at 1890
and the Easter service proper was held
rendered by a choir composed of Mrs
RAIDER, Mrs. F. B. Maloy, Mrs. II. v.
Davis, Miss johnson, Mr.. Rosenberg
and the rector, and was greatly en-
joyed. In his address, the rector held
that no Easter message is ever deliv-
cred until the fact of the rising from
the dead of the Lord Jesus has been
presented and received. No mere poetic
statement of wonderful things happen
ing in nature, as of flowers coming
forth to new spring life from winter S
apparent death, or of the butterfly
coming forth out of the chrysalis, won
derful and impressive as these things
are, constitute an Easter message, for
they contain in themselves no promise
Of resurrection life to humankind. Such
promise is contained in the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, and in
such truth alone is real Easter mes
sage contained. "Christ is Risen From
the Dead' is the Easter fact; sand
become the first fruits Of them that
slept" is the accompanying Easter
truth of first and foremost Importance
for all mankind.
The services for the day closed with
the administration of infant baptism,
and most happy Easter for the people
of St. Barnabas mission was enjoyed.

HOW TO, IDENTIFY CHICKENS
Where Fowls in Neighborhood Are
Much Alike 1t Is Excellent Plan
to Paint or Dye Them.

Neighbors living close to each other
grow chickens which are very much
alike. Often each party thinks the 9TH
er is in possession of some OF his birds
and trouble begins. In order to avoid
this, one neighbor will get some black
chickens because his neighbor has
white ones.
Z. Hens in adjoining yards. if they
get through the fence, often make
their home in the new quarters.
2. Different varieties in adjoining
breeding yards are in great danger Of
becoming mixed.
8. All birds in any community which
are apt to range together should be
one variety properly branded.
A good grade of dye or paint is the
best method of marking the birds to
be detected at sight, different people
using different colors. If ali are grow
ing white birds, one person can use
red Oh his birds, another blue, another
green, ETC., placing the color on the
wings and tail so they can be seen at
a distance. This gives quick identffi-
cation of the birds, and in addition to
helping neighbors to identify their
own birds, will help control wholesale
chicken thieves, because of this identi-

EXTRA FEEDING AND
CARE OF DAIRY COW
Ohio Expert Gives Conclusions
Reached After Experimenting
With Station Herd.

Heavier feeding and extra care of
cows win pay in more than half the
dairy herds OF Ohio" says G. C. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station,
in its Monthly Bulletin. His conclu-
sions are based on investigations with
cows in the station dairy herd.
One COW given extra feed and care
produced 80 per cent more milk and
81 per cent more butterfat than in
previous years. This increase was pro-
duced at II cents less per 100 pounds
of milk and o cents less per pound.
OF butterfat. Another COW gave z per
cent more milk and SO per cent more
butterfat than in former years. Her
increase cost 81 cents less per 100
pounds of milk and 10 cents less per
pound OF butterfat.
The lower costs are due to the fact
that little extra time in feeding and
caring for the animals is needed. and
no more stable room nor equipment is
required for large yields than for small
ones.

Ideal Association.
The ideal association is composed
of much larger number of farmers.

to the farmers in each block, and the
bull is kept on some farm centrally To-
Gated. The blocks are numbered from
one to five, and every two years the
bulls are moved forward to. the next
block. If all the bulls live and are
retained until each has made one COM
p1ete circuit, no new bulls have to be
purchased during period of ten years.
