COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set of Bells Is Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What is said to be the most costly
chime of bells in America and one of
the most musical sets in existence Is
now being made at the foundry of the
Meneely Bell company of Troy, N. Y,
for the massive tower of Cadet chapel,
Rev. II. p. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy, West
Point, as the gift of Mrs. James NJ.
Lawton, in memory of her father, the
late Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy in
1925, and whose brilliant command Of
Fort Sumner at the outbreak of the
Civil war has thrilled millions of read
ers of American history, says the
Northumberland.
There will be IL bells in the chime,
the largest weighing nearly two ton
and measuring Sc inches at its mouth.
The cadet chapel is of stone, quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds and cost to build about half
a million dollars. Its commanding po-
sition on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, in the midst of which
h military academy is situated, and
prove a source of inspiration to the fu-
u generals of the United States
army that will always linger with them
pleasantly.

her uncle, a police sergeant of a coun-

come and stay with him to recuperate.

A few days later her landlady rushed

milk is fed in a warm, sweet condition,
ordinarily no difficulties will be ex-
perienced. The amount of skim milk
fed may be increased us the calf in
creases in size, but it is rarely neces-
sary to feed more than 10 pounds
daily, provided grain and a good quail
ity of legume hay is being used. Where
the supply of skim milk will permit, it
is advisable to continue its use until
the animal is five or six months of age
in the case of grades, and for a longer
period in the case of purebreds. Skim
milk is one of the most economical
feeds known for producing growth in
calves.

UTILIZE STRAW FOR CATTLE
Strict Economy Should Be Observed
and Valuable Use Made of This
Neglected Product.

On many farms where strict econ
omy is observed valuable use is made
of straw of all kinds. Frequently the
straw is chopped up and mixed with
other foods such as beets, mangles and
silage, so as to make the food more
palatable. Some farmers are SO care
full to get the fullest value hi of straw
that after 1t has been used for bedding,
and later distributed over their fields.

HANDLING STOCK WITH DOGS
WelI-Trained Collie is UnfaIIing
Source of Help and Satisfaction

Upon farms where stock is kept, a
w~ell-broke collie dog is an unfailing
source of help and satisfaction, while
an %unbroken, unframed dog Is a con-
tinual nuisance. In handling stock
with a dog, it is important that the dog
be well trained, and that great care
be exercised while the animals are get
ting used to being managed by him.
When these two conditions are fulfilled
1t is surprising how easily and eco
nomically stock can be taken care of.
The first essential in breaking a dog
for any purpose is to teach him to

RAISE CALF ON WHOLE MILK
Various Supplements Which May Be
Combined to Lower Cost of Ration
Skim Milk Economical.

By r. 8. HULCE and w. B.. NEVENS,
Illinois Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion.)
Raising the dairy calf on whole milk
alone is too expensive. There are a
number of supplements which may be
combined with whole milk in order to
lower the cost of the ration. The
feeds most commonly used as whole
milk supplements are skim milk, home
mixed meals, commercial calf meals,
and hay and grain.
On farms where skim milk is avail
able, it may be substituted for whole
milk in the ration of a healthy calf
when the animal is three or four weeks
of age, a few days being necessary to

DRYING OF DAIRY UTENSILS
Process Equally as Important as Thor
ough Cleaning, Especially in
Summer Season.

Much emphasis has been laid upon
thorough cleaning of dairy utensils,
and rightly so, but the process of dry
ing is equally as important in warm
weather. Drying should not be done
with a cloth, but by heating the uten-
sils in hot water, steam or oven sufi-
ciently to evaporate moisture.

Count Luxburg, the German minister
who advised that Argentine vessels be
"spurios versenkt"-sunk without a
trace being left-has been given his
passports and the Argentine minister in
Berlin has been instructed to ask the
imperial government for o full expla-
nation regarding Mr.. Lansing's disclos-
ures and as to its present policy of
sinking Argentine ships. Argentine of
fcials say that there will be a diplo-
matte rupture If Germany does not dis

patches N make concessions concern
ing U-boat warfare.
In Buenos Aires the people wildly
cheered the news of Luxburg's dismiss
sal and her broke out into anti-Ger-
man rioting, attempting to burn the
buildings of the German club and a
German newspaper and destroying sew
eral blocks of German business houses.
Scientifically Germany has admitted
the truth of Lansing's statements, but
denies there was a violation of neutral
ity on Sweden's part. and saws the dis
closures were made by the allies only

CHICAGO FANS PULL "BONER."

CHICAGO. October 10-There were in

to New York, and there was none left on
the grounds to warn the weary walters

length as IL O'Clock approached, and at
that hour it was so long that a detail of

WORLD SERIES GOSSIP.

Had Benny Kauff and Heinie Zim-
norman made only one hit each in
each of the games in Chicago the COM
plexion of the series might have been
changed.
The work of the umpires in the series
has been the subject of much favorable
comment from managers, players and
fans.
Joe jackson will aim his drives at
the upper tier of the right field wing of
the grandstand at the Polo Grounds
and il is not going to be an easy task
to keep him from hitting the target.
The fans who expect the Giants to
fight harder than ever because of the
handicap under which they must con-
tinue the struggle are not likely to
be disappointed.

the first two games. Rowland's men
pilfered four bases and McGraw' s
crowd stole but one.
The Chicago outfielders Will shift
positions for the games at the Polo
grounds Jackson plays right field in
games there. but left field in other
cities John Collins or Leibold Will
play left field in New York.
Home runs are no strangers in the
life of Happy Felsh He has poled many
of these circuit clouts since coming into
the American League and will be a very
dangerous hitter in the games at the
Polo Grounds.
You can never tell in base ball. Few
fans figured that either Anderson or
Tesreau would get chance in the
series, but both got into the box score
before Rube Benton, who had been
listed as a starter before either. Ander-
son got in even before Perritt.
kauff's failure to hit SO far has been
entirely due to overanXiety. McGraw
has told him to take his time at the
plate and not to try to knock the
ball out of the park every time he
goes to bat.
Joe Tinker is said to have bet that
John Collins would outhit Benny Kauff
in the series. Collins now enjoys quite
an edge on Benjamin, who failed to

The White SoX have made four double

that Cicotte would pitch for the White

rest before he enteres the box this

that Cicotte will repeat Saturdays feat
a nd that the SoX will come back with

weather does not upset the schedule
Rowland figures that II the Giants
happen to win one of these games at
the Polo Grounds, Cicotte Will be in
splendid shape to face them for the
third time in Chicago. Saturday or sun

Cicotte was ready to work yesterday,
but Rowland early in the morning was
half inclined to send Russell to the
firing line. He believes that Russell
could have turned the trick and that
Cicotte therefore could have been able
to clinch the world title today. The
postponement, therefore. actually in
creased Rowlands confidence in the
SoX. He said last night that C.cotte
would prove more effective against the
Giants in today's game than in the
opener.
''Cicotte has the number of each New
York hitter by this time" declared the
optimistic Chicago manager. 'and he
will beat them easily. As I've said all
along, it will be four straight for our
team, barring accidents. The Giants
surely will play harder on the Polo

have to extend ourselves. but the re-

The Giants need to6ay'S game to put
them on their feet and restore confl-

McGraw is praying for warm weather
but it may be all in vain. Meanwhile
Perritt and Benton are eager to take
crack at the American League cham
pions. Perritt has not pitched a ball
since Sunday, when he gave an excel
lent account of himself after he settled
