nece of testim ony offered by defense
witnesses called to the stand in the
Kelly murder trial here today, was
to emphasize the fact that Lyn
George ]. Kelly was insane. The
efforts of the defense to prove that
Kelly was weak minded indicated,
many thought, that no reputation Of
the alleged confession will be made.
The confession is Attorney General
Havner's trump card and the defense
had indicated it would repudiate the
statement which said Kelly admitted

spies. The men are not allowed to
buy anything to eat from peddlers
for fear the food may be poisoned.
1t is rumored that there are a num-
Der of spies in the neighborhood.
Two spies were arrested at Hobo
ken, New Jersey, when the train
carrying Iowa's contingent to the
rainbow division passed through, the
writer states. The soldiers saw the
two men in the depot, handcuffed,
and it was reported that they were
bomb throwers and had been hang
ing about the arsenal.
Private Paardekooper writes that a
rumor Is floating about the camp to
the effect that the rainbow men will
be sent to Cuba for winter training
that is, those of the division who
pass the new physical examination
A large number from the Ohio regi-
ments have been turned down.
If he don't pass the examination,
the writer expects to be home in

ship carrying officers horses to
France was sunk and a corporal the

CAMP GARBAGE
TO FEED PIGS
Would Produce Almost 100000
Pounds of Pork in Year,
Ames Authority
States.

AMES, Iowa, Sept. 1S.-A fortune
In food supply could be saved from
the garbage at Camp Dodge If used
for feeding swine it would produce
more than 100000 pounds Of pork in
year, according to calculations
based on feeding experiment con-
Quoted by the agricultural experiment
at Iowa State college.
The experiment has been carried
on at Ames with pigs fed from gar
bage from the College Inn cafeteria,
where the tendency is to order and
eat closely. The experiment shows
that the garbage from seventeen
people will fed a pig. On the gar
bage from these seventeen persons
each average 1OO-pound pig made a
daily gain of about pound. The
garbage produced by one person a
day was approximately Ia lbs. Five
pigs ate on the average of 1866 lbs.
of garbage, 2344 lbs. being offered.
To produce 100 pounds of gain 1t
required a total offering OF 2,48S lbs.
of garbage, 2,09s being consumed.
AS near as can be figured it takes
lent to lb. Of grain. On this basis
houses $4,000 soldiers should yield
$4,000 Tbs. Of garbage daily This
VIII yield about 3 percent. or 1900
lbs. Of grease. or about 100000 lbs.
OF valuable fat year, worth 13c a
pound, or worth $91, 900. And the
garbage that remains is practically
as valuable as the original whole
garbage. Allowing 5000 lbs. of gar
page for 100 lbs. of gain, 2.100
pounds of pork daily could be pro-
duced from the garbage at the can
Torment.
Its worth the effort to try the
> practice. not only from the stand
point of food conservation. but from
mat of consistency of spirit between
me food administration and the war
uenartment," says ]. NJ Evvard, pig
authority at Iowa State college.
