The object Of the council is to pro-
cure libraries for the environments, out
posts naval stations, on shipboard, in
the hospitals, and at all points at which
soldiers and sailors of the y. S. army

this directiona-asking for contribu-
tons OF books-has not met with sue

library war council seemed a necessity.
This means more giving!

recreation. comfort and cheer for
homesick soldiers, crippled and manned
men. sailors on shipboard. and all the
others to whom we are looking for our
security.
1t will be Of interest to know that

Will have his name inscribed upon a
book plate in front of one OF the books
which goes to the cantonment. Five
dollars places the name in five books.

idly through a crowded railway station

the third had only one.
The soldiers laughed uproariously,

The siren whistle at the electric light

Soon the newspaper Offices and police

to know the meaning of the extended
blowing of the whistle. They were
notified that the Slagle boy was lost.
and a general search Of the city began.
Toward evening Jimmy walked into

the city, pulling wagon behind him.
He said he heard the whistle and want

AIRSHIPs EYES OF TROOPS.

Americans Make Best Aviators In
WorId-Command Of Air Means Best
Defense Vet Found Against Subma-
rines-United States Has Big Chance
to Win War.
Washington. - Aeroplanes are the
eyes Of an army. Without aerOplanes
the guns cannot see where to fire, the
soldiers where to go. Without aero
planes the enemies forces and the dis
tribution5 thereof, their reserves and
their supplies, their lines of commune
cation and their railroads are alike
unknown. Consequently, without aero
planes our troops will fight in dark
cess, as blind men would fight. They
will be killed in darkness, as blind men
would be killed, says Porter Emerson
Browne of the Vigilantes.
1t is no more fair to ask soldiers to
go out and fight without aeroplanes
than it would be to send them out
without guns, or~ammunition, or food.
or shoes, or hospitals, or surgeons.
Aeroplanes have become perhaps the
most important part of the equipment
of an army today. This France and
England and Germany alike have rec
ognized. If the United States should
fail to recognize this, it will pay dear

its ignorance and it, Qbstinacy- =, , .-..--s

England may still control the seas.
But for this control Germany is max
ing her and all her%allies pay q bitter
price. Like 1t or like it not, we must
admit that SO far the German subma-
rine in its sphere Is supreme. Checked
It can be. but it cannot as yet be
scotched.
On land armies can be locked for
months, even for years. stunning
preponderance of heavy artillery may
mean a mile or so advance. But every
mile Of such advance means months of
preparation and the careful boarding
Of munitions.
On one frontier. and one frontier
alone is Germany unprotected. open
and vulnerable. That is the air.
And it is to this frontier that the
United States, struggling into war un-
ready and unequipped, should turn its
face
For, as scouting aeroplanes have be-
come the eyes Of an army, so have
bombing and machine gun planes
grown to be the weapons with which
It can reach a foe protected by de-

mot be unguarded long.
Soldiers and guns and supplies will
be long in reaching our allies. But
aeroplanes and aviators we can send
them, and swiftly. and Americans
make the best aviators in the world.
1t is possible and more than posi-
BILE that victory on land and sea lies
with victory in the air. The command
of the air means that we see while
the Germans become blind. 1t means
the best defense yet found against the
depredations of the submarines. And,
developed to it's possible limits, it
means a great. new weapon that lies
to our hands ready to use. Ten thou
sand aeroplanes, properly manned and
equipped, would insure the utter de-
moralization of the Germans on the
western front.

If a premium were offered for the

through sheer farsightedness and well

eryOne in the neighbOrhOOd was kept
guessing why he always seemed to
have more than his share in the way

fancy breeds of cattle or poultry, nor
did he seem to work overtime, but his
success was unmistakable, and one
day he smilingly confided to the writer
that 1t could be summed up in one
word, "by-products."
Instead of using all his skim milk for
the piggery he made pot cheese out of
1t, did 1t up in fancy boxes and got
good price for all he could sell. This
made a very profitable outlet for large
quantities Of the by-prOduct. His Jer-

carefully looked after, regularly and
plentifully fed, and from this he made.

Poultry FIocks Smaller.

Reports recently gathered concern
ing 5,29S flocks of poultry on farms
and in small towns in all parts of the
country show that the average number
of hens per flock this year is 1OI, a.
compared with 146 in 1914. This in
formation. which was obtained by an

West. indicates that shortage of sup
ply had been an important factor In
producing present high prices for poul
try and eggs. 1t appears that a very
considerable number of poultry raisers
have sacrificed many Of their hens fCi
the sake of immediate profits-a policy
the effects of which are now being felt
by the entire country.-Popular Me

terra for each cubic centimeter. This
can had been thoroughly rinsed and
left covered in q room where the tenn
perature was about 20 degrees Fahren-
heit. An experiment made during the
winter when the temperature was be-
low so degrees showed fewer than
100000 bacteria In a can similarly
treated, which would mean contami-
nation of fewer than 100 for each cubic
centimeter of milk.
A can which was rinsed, subsequent
ly heated with steam and then turned
right side up with the cover off until
dry, contained approximately 100000
bacteria or q contamination of about
seven for each cubic centimeter.
Experiments of this sort which have
been carried on at the University of
Missouri college of agriculture indicate
that the point of chief Importance in
the care of dairy utensils, especially
in warm weather, is thorough drying
after cleaning. Cleaning will remove
a large per cent Of the bacteria and
HUGH VI TIE lOOu lOT tHclE SIOWtu
Application of steam for thirty Sec
onds kills very few, but 1t will supply
heat to dry the utensils which prevents
bacterial growth SO that there will be
practically no more present twelve
hours later than five minutes after
washing the utensils.
Much emphasis has been laid upon
thorough cleaning of utensils. and
rightly so, but the process Of drying
Is equally as important in warm wealth
er. Drying should not be done with
a cloth, but by heating the utensils
in hot water, steam or oven sufficient
ly to evapOrate moisture.
General recommendations for the
care of utensils are: O) Rinse in
luke-warm water as soon after use as
possible; (2) wash in hot water con-
tanning washing powder which will re-
move grease; (3) rinse in clean hot
water and place in live steam 10 Sec

until steam evaporates. On the farm
where steam is not available summing

AVOID DIRTY DAIRY
UTENSILS IN SUMMER
Point of Chief Importance in
Warm Weather Is Thorough
Drying After Cleaning.

Most of the bacteria which get into
milk come from the dirty cow and
from the utensils, such as cans, pals,
strainers, coolers, and separatOrs,
which have not been properly cleaned.
In winter the cows are likely to be-
come dirty from confinement in the
barn, but in summer they are easily
kept clean so that they are then of
little relative importance in contami
mating milk. On the other hand,
far greater number of bacteria get
into milk from dirty utensils in sum-
mer than from a dirty COW in winter.
A bacterial count recently made
from some OF the rinsing water left in
an eight-gallon can, which had been
washed twelve hours before, showed
the can to contain more than three bill
lion bacteria. Eight gallons of milk
placed in this can would have received
contamination of nearly 100000 bac
