SKIM MILK |S
 GOOD FOR FOOD

Although skim milk is recognized as having great value in feeding animals, the United States department of agri culture points out that it's value as hu man food should be kept in mind. By substituting grain, green feed, butter milk, and whey in animal feeding, much skim milk may be left for human use as a beverage, inc oOking, condensing, or for making cottage cheese. Only the surplus of this valuable human food should be fed to stock
 While skim milk is good for stock, the fact remains that it's highest ef- ficiency can not be had through turn ing it into meat. Skim milk is used most economically in animal produc- tion when fed to hogs, yet, it takes 20 pounds when fed alone to produce one pound of pork The same quantity will make three pounds of cottage cheese. In addition, cottage cheese contains IF times as much protein and one thlrd as much energy as pork, so that the skim milk in the cheese form gives quite as much energy and 4ls times as much protein as it would if converted into ham or bacon
 Even at the highest prices recently paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them is worth not more than 1 cent a pound. Yet l cent pound or approximately l cent a pint, is very cheap for any human food, ana particularly for T food so high in nutritive value as skim milk.

 This is the fancy price that Jap whose home is in Phoenix paid for four brace of Bob Whites a few days ago which he gathered near Winkelman.

 The Jap, who was driving a motor car, had a young fellow with him. They had nothing to say, having been caught with the goods. The trial took place Wednesday at Winkelman. The quail season, it appears, does not open in Ar izona until October Is.

Eritons Record Success

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 4.-(By the Associated Press) trial of strength among the strongholds comprising the Ger. mans crucially important system of defenses along the Passchendaele-G Che luVelt ridge was renewed at dawn to- day, when the British again surged for ward over a wide front to the east and north of Ypres. Within a few hours great success had already been re- corded throughout the zone involved.
 At some places the British had pene- trated to a depth of mile and had Overrun the crest of the ridges which the Germans had held so long. Hun dreds of Germans were surrendering at an early hour.
 On the northeastern wing the on rushing troopse are battling forward within short distance of Poelcapelle; they have a footing on the famous Gravenstafel ridge, which juts out from Passchendaele ridge to the west, and they have crushed their way through the blood drenched Zonnebeke- Brood seinde ridge, which forms an integral part of the Passchendaele- -Gheluvelt chain.
 Between the village of Broodseinde on the north and Noordenhoek, a mile to the south, at an early hour, they are holding to the crest of the ridge itself in the face of heavy counter attacks from the desperate enemy Some had penetrated well beyond the hamlet of Broodseinde in which lie the cross roads formed by the highways between Zonebeke and .Moorslede and Pass chendaele and Becelaere, where so many Germans have recently given their lives to swell the toll claimed by the British artillery.
 Further south, Cameron, which has been the scene of so much hard fight ing. has been left well in the lead.
 Everywhere the British arms have done splendidly in the opening hours of the offensive, which is one of the

snowy children will be winter and finer

only showed how her mother love was
making her think her little birdlings
were great deal more handsome than
she was. AS yet they were rather queer
and featherless. But deep in their bird
hearts each mother bird knew that the
day would come when the birdlings
would be gorgeous birds, though just
now they were only dear little helpless
things!
"tMy little ones,' whispered Mrs.
Snowy again. The little ones stirred
contentedly. They need have no fear.
Mother Snowy was there to care for
them. She would never desert them.
"'My darlings,' said Mrs. American
Bgret. And the small, feeble birds
knew they would be loved and looked
after.
"When, bang, bang, bang! went the
gun Of big man, and down fell Mrs.
Snowy from her rookery. Again the
cruel sounds echoed through the
woods.
"Bang, bang, bang! Down fell Mrs.

made the money, perhaps. A good day
for the women who wore the beauti-

In the woods two families Of little birds
were left to starve and die-because
the world Of fashion wanted their
mothers. These birds have almost dis
appeared in the country, so many nave

supposed to be killed. But never,
never, Nancy, If you eyer see an a1g-

never get it, for such cruel fashions
should be stopped. No one should ever
buy such feathers, for they are finest

'Two birds called the Egret birds
were talking. They were very happy.
One was named Mrs. Snowy Egret and
the other was named Mrs. American
Egret," began Daddy.
"Mrs. Snowy is one of the loveliest
birds to be found anywhere and she is
just like her name. She is white, pure
white, and her plumage is very rich,
very beautiful. Her beak and her legs
are black, but all of her feathers are
white, and there are glorious feathery
white sprays of feathers in her cos.
tune which are called in the fashion
able world, aigrettes.
"You see," said Daddy, ''the fash
ionable world and the birdland world
are often very far apart, and though
now people are thinking more of birds
and less of their hats, still I want to
tell this story so that Nancy, when she
grows up will remember to find out
what kind Of feathers she is buying.

fifty 'aigrette' plumes and they are at

American Egret kissed her birdlings
with her beak-oh, such a soft, sweet,
motherly kiss.
"Little birdlings,' she whispered
softly to them. And off in the other
rookery Mrs. Snowy was singing very
gently to her little brood-little songs
with very little meaning. But, ali!
they were full Of joy and Of happiness
and Of the great, great love a mother
bird gives to her young.
"Then both birds would realize that
they hadn't said anything to each
