Professor Wentworth. Argentina now

States instead of buying her entire
supply from England, SO as to keep
her improved stock equal to that Of

introduction of animals from the Origi-

shires that were imported into the
United States were fair dairy animals,
but since selection for high production
was not rigldly applied, their offspring
did not progress so rapidly as other
breeds until importation from Ayr
shire assumed reasonable proportions.

These analyses indicate that the per-

with the fat content, but not in pro-
portion. Skim milk from Holstein
milk having 3.3 per cent fat contained
3.5 per cent protein, while Jersey milk
tested AZ per cent fat and Al per cent

Thus the fat content of milk offers
a practical basis to compute the COM

Gasoline vapor is very heavy and

some careless person throwing a light

is a leak in the tank or fuel line, then
the trouble begins.

Effect Of Cutting Diamond.

In the process of cutting about 60
per cent in weight of the rough stone
is lost, and this, added to the cost of
cutting and the rarity of these fine

Women Say Men Are Slackers
In Conservation of Foodstuffs

Mrs. John Shaker ofs Hastings,
prominent Nebraska club woman, has
thing or two to tell Gurdon w.
Wattles, food administrator and the
men of the food conservation COM
mittee.
"Its time men were signing food
conservation pledge cards. We
women have signed about a half
dozen of them since the war began
and they are still having more food
pledge cards thrust upon us. True,
women do decide what goes on the
table, but the men won't eat if they
don't like it and are freer than ever
to express their disapproval of con-
servation methods adopted by
women
why don't men give up tobacco as
war emergency and release the labor
so employed for raising food products,
or for industry" Mrs. Shaker wants
to know. Il am not opposed to the
use of tobacco, but there are DO girls
in my town who make cigars, who, if
they were employed in homes to help
already overburdened housewives
would even release DO women who
could give loyal Red Cross service"
she said.

they have completed their work there

ers to do next week. 1t was certainly
a bright idea to get this mighty force

Mr.. McKelvie, chairAan of the
state committee ip charge of the CAM
paign, said many people are slow to
sign because they do not understand
that signing the card merely pledges
them to save food as much as pos
sible. Some have been found who be-
lieved signing the card made it pos
sible for the food administrator to
confscate their supplies. He asked
the county chairmen to keep lists of
the names of persons who refuse to
sign the cards.
