FIRST OF LYCEUM
COURSE NUMBERS
Schumam Quintet Opens Series at
AuguStana College With Large
Attendance.
PROGRAM PRESENTED Is VARIED
Each Selection Preceded With Short
Exposition Of the Piece About
to Be Played.

Augustanat tittingly opened It's ly-
ceum course for the year last night
with one Of the finest musical enter
tainments ever presented at the COL
lege, when the Schumann quintet ap-
peared in a program. The function
was held in the gymnasium and the
ground floor Of the vast auditorium
was filed win listeners.
The Schumann quintet has manner
of presenting classical music so that
even mixed audience such as at
tended last night, enjoys every selec-
ton. The program naturally did not
consist of the heaviest pieces but such
selections as the Poet and Peasant
Overture" and the Venetian Love
Song" from Nevin's, "a Day in
Venice" composed the numbers Of the
evening.
Carl Lampert, the manager Of the
company, preceded each selection with
a shors exposition of the piece about
to be played. In this way the appre-
citation of the audience was made much
more intelligent and at the same time,
the monotony of a straight musical
program was agreeably broken up. Mr..
Lampert plays first violin and is a
most skilled musician, seeming TO put
into his instrument the melody of his
soul
Mrs. Lampert, who played the organ,
/ displayed marked ability in this line.
The organ is specially constructed
one and helps to produce the grand
] concert effect Of the company.
Miss Fortune Gives Voice Selections.
Miss Helen Fortune. the concert yio-
/ liniste Of the company, proved the
quality OF her voice to the satisfaction
( of the audience when she rendered an
| Italian selection and an encore. She
is a dramatic soprano of the highest
/ type and her selections received great
applause from the audience.
Harry Kaplun, the cellist of the
company, caught the attention of the
audience from the first. He IS "a per
feet master of his instrument and both
in concert work and individual selec-
lions showed the highest merit.
Mrs. Grace Kaplun, the pianiste ant
accompauist, can not be praised too
highly. Her every tone was in stric'
harmony with the other instrument.

THE FOOD SITUATION IN FRANCE
By FRED B. PITNEY.
Article No. I.

Editors Note: This is the first of a
series of articles by Fred B. Pitney,
noted foreign correspondent, on the
Food Situation in France. Mr.. Pit
ney not only had at his disposition the
official figures of the French govern
ment on the food supply of France,
but he had lived in France during war
and speaks from personal experience
and intimate first-hand knowledge OF
the conditions there. Statesmen and
politicians have had the mistaken be-
lief that they are the only ones wise
enough and strong-hearted enough to
when the nation is hard-pressed and
its man-power is low and food supplies
face the entire truth. Consequently
nearing a low ebb, they wish to keep
this information from the people and
endeavor to reassure them with false
hopes. Politicians have also officially
denied reports of meager resources
in order to give France greater pres
tige in peace councils. This, the writ
er shows, is a dangerous policy since
it results in conflicting reports and
weakens confidence of the people in
their government.

COULD PLAY POOL
(By the REV. CHARLES sTELzLE9

He could play pool. He was the
champion pool player of the ward. In
deed. his reputation had extended to
nearly every saloon in town. The sa-
loonkeepers sometimes arranged eNhi-
bition games for him advertising them
on big posters. He was pleased with
the complimentary remarks of the au-
dience. He didn't get very much else
out of it, excepting a few drinks and
some indifferent cigars, but - he

ing. One of them-as pretty little
thing as | had ever seen-was sick.
She was burning up with a fever. He
hadn't come home the previous night.
He had given an exhibition game away
off in another section of the city, and
well, for several reasons, he didn't
get back
The little one needed a doctor. One
was quickly found. Yes, he could play
pool. A few days later l called again.
He had been in two or three times dur
ing the day to get meal. He hadn't
been home nights since the last big
exhibition game. Most of his meals he
got at the free lunch counter. and
there seemed always somebody who
was willing to stand treat He had
lost his job, but-he could play pool.
The doctor told me that both his
children were now sick. Lack of
proper nourishment," was the doctor
brief comment, when l asked the cause
of their illness. His wife had become
the bread-winner for the family. Soon
afterward l was sent for. The chill
dren were better, but she was now in
bed.
They had found her early that morn
ing in an alley on the way to the back
door of a saloon, where she was to
have done days washing. But, as
she told me, she was compelled to go
without any breakfast, or the children
would have had none. She wasn't
equal to it, however, and had collapsed
even before she began her days work
But he could play pool.
A month later l met him on the
street. He was wonderfully braced up.
His clothes were fresh looking. The
flush had left his face. There was a
steadiness in his gaze which pleased
me. l stopped him with n CHEEKY sa-
lutte. "Oh, I've got job" he said,

that, but it wouldn't look well in print.

WILSON APPEALS
DIRECT TO HOMES
INDIVIDUALS CAN HELP
BY CONSERVING FOOD.
Burden of Supplying Sustenance to
Armies of Allies Now Falls on
United States and Should Be
Met with Patriotism.

President Wilson, in statement
made public this week, urges every
home and public eating place in the
United States to pledge its support to
the food administration and to comply
with its requests. His appeal marked
the inauguration of family enrolment
week, during which everybody in the
country will be asked to become a
member of the food administration in
order to insure nationwide co-opera-
tion in food conservation.
The president said that in no other
way than thru this cooperation of the
people can the nation accomplish its
object in the war.
The statement follows:
''The chief part of the burden of
finding food supplies for the people
associated with US in war falls for the
present upon the American people, and
the drain upon supplies on such a scale
necessarily affects the prices of our
necessaries of life.
"Our country, however, is blessed
with an abundance of foodstuffs, and
if our people will economize in their
use of food, providently confining
themselves to the quantities required
for the maintenance of health and
strength; if they will eliminate waste,
4
commodities of which we have a sur
plus and thus free for export a larger
proportion of those required by the
world now dependent upon US, we shall
not only be able to accomplish our OBJ
legations to them, but also we shall
obtain and establish reasonable prices
at home.
ITO provide an adequate supply of
food both for our own soldiers on the
other side of the seas and for the civil
populations and the armies of the al
| lies is our first and foremost obliga-
ton; for if we are TO maintain their
constancy in this struggle for the in
| dependence of all the nations first we
must maintain their health and
strength. The solution of our food
problems is therefore dependent upon
the individual service of every man,
woman and child in the United States.
The great voluntary effort in this
direction which has been initiated and
organized by the food administration
under my direction offers an oppor-
tunity of service in the war which is
open to every individual, and by which
every individual may serve both his
own people and the peoples of the
world
I'VE cannot accomplish our objects
in this great war without sacrifice and
| devotion, and in no direction can that
sacrifice and devotion be shown more
than by each home and public eating
place in the country pledging its sup
port to the food administration and
complying with its requests.

PROTECT YOUNG PIGS

When Vitality Mas Been Permit
ted to Rcn Down Animals Are
Susceptible to Disease.

Protect young swine from cholera by
SO arranging the breeding pens and
hog houses that good drainage, sun
light, and fresh air will be insured is
the advice of Or. c. w. Hobbs, field
veterinarian and superintendent of
the serum laboratory mt the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
THE young pigs are susceptible to
pneumonia and other diseases" said
Doctor Hobbs. If allowed to nest
in n draft, they may contract disease.
Their vitality will at any rate be low
cred. making them more susceptible to
cholera. Overlooking either the moth
er or the young pigs, especially with
fat producing food, will also render
the pigs more susceptible TO disease
"Do not allow communication be-
tween your hog lot and the lots be-
longing TO neighborS, as cholera germs
may be carried easily on persons
shoes. Wagons that have been used to
carry infected or dead hogs will infect
corn and other feed and in this way
may be brought 10 ones farm. Ere
quent cleaning and burning of litter in
the hog pens will prevent any latent
infection.
Hog pens, feeding troughs, and
| buildings should be protected by regu-
lar use of three per cent solution Of

"Do not put new Stock-either hogs
or cattle-with hogs already on the
farm. Newly purchased hogs should
be put into separate Enclosures we'll
separated from the herd already ON
the farm and kept under observation
for three weeks. This is necessary, as
stock cars, unloading chuteS, and pens
are likely to be infected with hog chol-
era organisms.
Burn up all carcasSes of dead cat
tie, horses, hogs, sheep, or dogs on the
day they die. DO not allow chickens

cass.
ponds should be drained and thor
oughly covered with lime. Where this
cannot be done they should be fenced

lows become IA source of infection OF
the farm for years and little or moth
ing can be done until they are drained
When wallows exist near the drink
ing troughs they should be plowed III
and filed in after they have been drain
ed and covered with air-slaked lime
The use of the sanitary hog walloV
eliminates this source of infection"

GRAZING ABILITY OF
HOGS NOT REALIZED
Men Who Understand Importance
of Ample Growth and Ten
der Foliage Make Profits.

tBy c. w. HICKMAN Animal Husban-
dry Department., University of IdahoD
Perhaps the high price of grain will
awake farmers TO the full apprecia-
ton of the grazing ability of hogs.
There never was SO great an incentive
to save grain and use green forage.
Ii is generally understood now that
profitable hos-feeding in summer In
wolves the use Of pasture of some kind,
but there is more difference in hog
pastures than MANY people suppose.
However few men realize the inn
portance of ample growth and tender
palatablc forage in hog pasture, and
they profit by the knowledge.
Very often the only hog tight field
on a grain farm is the small grass
pasture near the barn that serves for
AL kinds of stock. Horses and sheep
keep the grass too short for cattle
or hogs. Instances have probably
come 10 notice when hogs on such n
pasture last year did not return mar
ket price for the grain they ate Other
farmers nearby whose hogs ran in al
f0lfa. clover and rape figured that
they got much more than market price
for the grain fed, and in some in
stances twice as much. This means
that their hogs in good pasture prob,
ably made twice as much pork from
each hundred pounds of grain as was
made by the hogs on short grass.
J The hog will eat an abundance oil
green forage if given chance. The
important thing to bear in mind il
that the better the forage the NOR,
the hog viii eat of it, and then the
more grain there is left for other pur
poses. Good Succuleut pasture crop,
like alfalfa, clover or rape often make
400 to 500 pounds of pork per acre re
sides what can be accounted TO
through the grain fed.
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1917-11-30

homie principle does not obtain IN
time of peace. Argentina has long
since made it IA felony to slaughter
heifer calves. If we kill all the calves
1t is only a question of time before we
will have no cows. Is 1t not penny
wise and pound foolish policy to kill
the future COW in order to get the
dirty dollar in our hand right on the
spot? The farmer gets the dollar or
two for the calf, and Is cents a gallon
for his milk in 80 days and this knocks
him off his economic perch. Keeping
the calf until it becomes COW means
an investment with slow returns, but
with mighty satisfactory returns con-
Siderng the present prices of good
milk cows.
So now, behold the inevitable
drought and famine from cutting off
the stream at its source. Yes, the
fact cannot be denied that we have
killed so many calves that both our
milk supply and our meat supply is on
the blink and good milk COW is al-
most worth her weight in gold.
Here is the propositions: In the
long run, is cows milk too valuable
TO feed to a COWS calf?
