The legal committee of the State
Council of Defense, in an opinion, held
that seizure of the mines can be eff

states that if the mines are taken over

the state government and changed from

OF BRITISH ARMY
Joseph Goehring Decides to Quit
Canadians and Return
to This City.

Efforts are being made to have Jo-
seph Goehring, a brother of Otto
Goehring, the drayman, released from
the Canadian army, g.aich he joined
several months ago at Winnipeg. In
order to secure his release, the young
man must prove his American citizen
ship. His brother has employed At

DAIRYMEN GIVEN
INSTRUCTIONS here
4. c. Ragsdale of State Agricul-
ture College Tell Farmers How
to Feed Cows.

Instructions as to how dairy cows
should be fed. We're given yesterday
afternoon to nearly so farmers at the
Commercial Club by A. c. Ragsdale.
q representative Of the State College
of Agriculture. The meeting was not
only attended by farmers of Cape
County, but also by number of Cape
business men, who are interested in
dairy problems.
Sam Carter, former president of the
Commercial Club, was the first speak
er. He reviewed the progress of the
dairy conditions in Cape County in
the last few years and furnished III
formation he gathered on an inspec-
tion trip through Wisconsin. He urg-
ed the audience to continue in their
efforts to better the dairy conditions
and help raise the best kind of stock
for this purpose.
Mr.. Ragsdale in his instructions to
the farmers pointed out the necessity
of mixing grain and cotton seed meal
in the hay and silage fed to the mich
animals. He said that at least one
pound of grain with every eight or
nine pounds of hay or silage would
be necessary to properly feed COW.
The portions given the animals natu--
ally would have to be Judged by the
farmer himself.
A number of farmers who supply
Cape Girardeau with milk were also
present at the meeting. The instruc-
tions given by Mr.. Ragsdale were at
tentively followed by those present,
and frequently he was interrupted by
questions for further information re-
garding the feeding of cows and
calves.
Prof. Seth Babcock of the Normal
and a number of his students were
also among the hearers. County Farm
agent C. NJ. McWilliams concluded the
meeting with a short talk and a few
instructions as to sanitary dairy con-
ditions.
