SILOS-A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Silos are needed throughout the
country. Next to the Importance
placed on the need of Subscribing to
the Liberty Loan, the National City
Bank of New York states that,
there ought to be a million silos
built and filled this year before the
growing season is over. They will
not only help win the war, but to
make living cheaper after the war"
What advice is more far-reaching
and important and absolutely sound
and practical than this? Can the
breeder of i've stock, the dairyman,
the producers of the nations food
supply pass lightly on such far
sighted statement and policy? ST.
los, yes, silos are needed, and let
us point their large-mouthed open
ings straight up to the sky, and not
alone have miniature silos pointed
at an angle and containing only de-
struction and death. Let us fill silos
with crops that will construct our
live stock and especially our dairy
industry. and let the silo be the sig
nal for new life and hope to the
rancher who last winter paid dearly
for hay and grain.
Can we not efficiently do our bit
to help win the war in this manner.
by building q silo and conserving the
food supply for the stock, just as
much so probably as the man shout
dering a gun? Has that experience
Of last winter taught you anything?
Surely, we must progress and we re-
alize that The graduate school of
hard knocks and experience is ex-
pensive. For this reason to avoid
REPETITION OF shortage or high prices
again that may occur next winter.
we urge you to build silo."
We have urged before, BUILD
A SILO" and we believe It not yet

is the dairyman's best and strongest
weapon to meet the high cost of
feed. Even tho you may have no
corn, still your crop of oats, or oats
and peas or other mixtures will re-
turn and yield much more food val

vested in the ordinary manner and a
large percentage of the crop allowed
to go to waste.
One should always remember that
silage is very palatable. it is the
cheapest ana the best form in which
a succulent feed can be provided for
winter use. and that it is a good
winter grass without the flies"

DETAILS ARE EXPLAINED
FOR AUTOMOBILE UNIT
Maj. Pullman Addresses Automobile
Trade Association on Proposed
Home Defense League.

Details of an automobile unit in con-
nection with the proposed Home De-
fense League were explained by Maj.
Raymond w. Pullman, superintendent
Of police. at a meeting of the Automo-
bile Trade Association Of Washington
last night in the red room at the New
Ebbitt House. At a meeting several
days ago the association voted to join
the league in a body.
Maj. Pullman, in speaking Of the
proposition. said that New York city
had a second-1ine defense of $4,000
members. The District unit would be
composed of medical, horse. motor boat,
automobile and rifle units. He urged
the dealers to get private owners to
join in the movement. A motor car, he
continued, can do the work of about
twelve footmen. The automobile unit,
he contended, would be one of the most
important features of the defense
league. Maj. Pullman related num-
ber of incidents for which the unit
could be used in case of emergency.
At the conclusion of his address
President Joseph NJ. Stoddard was au-
thorized to appoint committee to rep
resent the association before the
league.
A. G. Batchelder Of the American Au-
tomobile Association told of the ad-
vantage of the right-hand rule for gov
erning traffic, which in the city of Bal
timore alone. he said, had reduced ac-
cidents SO per cent during the past
year. He said that one of the prob
lens which still remained unsolved was
that pertaining to lights on automo-
biles. A medium should be reached
between the dimmed automobile light
and the brilliant light. This was now
being worked out in various places,
which in the course of time would be
so arranged as to be universal in the
cities. He referred to the District
license and traffic laws briefly and said
that the National Capital. once it is
connected up with good roads, is des-
tined to be the greatest touring center
in the country.
c. H. Warrington announced a new
proposition for deferred payment on
new cars, when purcha.ed, which
seemed to meet the approval of those
present. He was appointed chairman
of a special committee to submit a
full report at the next meeting of the
association. The other members of the
committee are E. ]. Quinn and Stanley
H. Horner.
