ARRANGING FEED FOR COLTS
Not Necessary to Feed Bran Mash to
Young Administrative Boiled
Oats With Flaxseed,

1t is not absolutely necessary to feed
bran mash to colts. 1t would prob
ably be better to mix bran with their
oats, in the proportion Of about one
part bran to two parts oats.
A feed of boiled oats with fiaxseed
added, say once a week, would prob

ANTl-NEGRo RloTlNG IS PART I
OF LABOR WAR

OF LABOR WAR
East St. Louis, Ill.,, May 81 (Spe-
cial) .-Citzens were today consider
ing an appeal to Gov LOwden to have
him send the state council Of defense
to this city to begin Investigations
into the labor situation.
Labor difficulties are primarily re-
spOnsible for the anti-negTO riots
which have continued for three days
packing houses and other firms
imported negroes in thousands from
the south when white workers de-
manded a raise in the niggardly
wages they were getting. 1t is es-
timated that near 5000 negroes have
been brought into East st. Louis to
take the place of white workers, Prin-
cipally in the packing houses owned
by Chicago meat packers,
The wholesale substitution Of ne
gro for white labor originated in the
Chicago stockyards about a year ago.
When girls and women employed in
the canning department of Swift's
struck, their places were filled by ne
groes, who, it is said, were especially
picked in the south by agents Of the
packing house.
Since then thousands Of negroes
have been taken to the Chicago
stock yards to replace white work
ers, while other thousands were
picked up by industrial agents in the
south and shipped to the South Chi
cagO and Gary steel mills.
On one day some time ago, nine
train loads of negroes were taken
into Chicago in one day.
The riots here last night in which
one negro was shot, two probably ia
tally hurt and many beaten, we're due
to hOld-ups, robberies and other
crimes committed by some Of the i'm
ported negroes.

EXTRAvAGANCE IN WAR TIME,

Some people deprecate the talk OF
economy in war times, on the ground
that 1t will upset business. They
think If people stop buying luxuries,
great numbers of the people will be
out of work.
Yet 1t seems a false foundation for
success in war, that we must keep
throwing away money on needless ex-
travagances A policy of economy
would of course work temporary
hardship, But with the tremendous
demand for all kinds Of labor, it is
difficult to conceive that people will
ing to work would be idle for any
length Of time
The war has got to be financed out
Of the savings Of the people. The
more we can buy Liberty bonds out
Of the savings we are able to make
as we go along, the easier the war
will come. The extravagances in
which so many people indulge seem
most untmely at this crisis. II peo.
pie will stop foolish use of money
the difficulties Of financing this wal
will be greatly relieved.

The result of that would frequent
ly be an offer of cuts, also catalogues
and booklets describing the goods
and processes of manufacture. The
average salesman will talk enough In
half an hour to provide the stuff for
dozen ads.
A merchant remarked to an ad
solicitor one day: "Well, suppose
ought to take some space, but
darned II l know what to say"
The ad man said nothing, but
prowled around the store a bit
Pretty good line of mems suits" he
ventured. Where do you get 'em
from"
That started something. The mer-
chant could talk fast enough then.
He had been buying the line ten
years. No customer had ever claimed
the goods were defective, and lots of
men came back year after year for
repeat. The salesman had told him
the firm was doing three times as
much as 1t did in 1907 when he be-
gan buying.
What more do you want?" asked
HE salesman. And he sketched out
something like this:
TENTH ANNIVERSARY SALE
For Smith, Jones & Co.'S Suits.
It is now ten years since we first
sold this line. No suit was ever
brought back as defective or unsatis-
factory. Scores of men return year
after year for them. Tasteful fabrics,
quiet but distinctive. The Smith
Jones & Co.'s business has tripled in
ten years. Style and economy sell
these goods. Try the $22 suit. equal
to any $40 goods the tailor ever sold

the stuff! How much for that in halt
page?" And he took it.

shod over the domestic relations OF
life in our own country. Domes-
tic infelicty and a positive dis
regard in carrying out, in its en-
tirety, the principles and obligations
bound up in the good old rule Of do
ing to others as one would like to be
done unto, must relentlessly under
mine the stability and well-being OF
any nation. The divorce court is an
unerring thermometer of the evils
that follow in the wake Of ill-assorted
marriages and that loose morality
that lifts its ugly head, unchecked,
in a thousand different directions.
Now with so much said in the way
of generalization, let me come at
once to my son Mark" and such low
ing companionship as may present
itself and in a way, perhaps, that
may bring pleasant thoughts and
recolections to pater familias and,
as may happen, to his numerous
progeny of young hopefuls.
"My son Mark" has been in this
world close upon ten years, and II
the possession of a well-knit frame
and lively and happy disposition
stand for anything at all, there is the
possibility of long and useful life
as his portion. It is undeniably the
fact that most great men have had
great and good mothers-piously in
clined. thoughtful and self-sacrific-
ing to an eminent degree, that have
brought every phase of happiness and
well-being to the domestic circle.
"My son Mark" has been specially
blessed with mother of this very
type, and what she doesn't know and
can't do is, in Marks estimation,
worth neither the knowing or the
doing. A lady was once asked to
define the word home" and she did
so in these words: "a home is the
place where we grumble the most
and are treated the best" And II
you only eliminate the grumbling
aspect of this assertion, you have a
true and concise picture Of my son
Marks" home and surroundings.
Now Mark is a good all-round boy.
He eats heartily, works indefatigably,
plays unboundedly and sleeps sound
ly, and, with it all, is always in fine
fettle for anything that may happen,
demanding his attention. Mark in
herits his mothers talents for music;
he sings in a well-conducted and
highly-trained Episcopal church
choir, cultivates the acquaintance OF
first-class ball-playing as occasion
and some loose change may permit,
skates delightfully."- whenever cold, icy

sources it was learned by the Asso-

tine government has asked Spain to
take the responsibility Of obtaining
from the American and British gov
ernments a safe conduct for Count
Won Luxburg, the German minister
here, who recently was given his
passports, arguing that the count is
to leave Argentine for Spain on a
Spanish vessel. Accordingly, it was
said, the Spanish ambassador has
asked the Madrid government to ini-
tiate negotiations to this end.
The course taken by the Argentine
foreign Office is not in accordance
with diplomatic usage, but this gov
ernment, it is understood, wishes to
escape the necessity of extending to
the expelled German minister the
usual courtesies.

The German foreign Office further
