Lack of Feed and Care Viii Make
Scrubs ofPure B eds.

One of the first aud most inn
portant of all the les ons for the
would-be stockman I 81 learn Is
that pure breds, hov eyer good
they may be, will uick1y de-
generate into scrubs unless prop
erly fed and cared for. The
scrub sire is undoul tely costing
the South million 5 of dollars
every year; but we must bear in
mind that gettil q pure bred
sires is only the fir Step in bet
tering our live-stt * /; that to
these pure breds ust be added
the proper manage ment to main
tain them as higl -class animals.
The South is today perhaps
more deeply int rested in inn
proving livestock than ever be-
fore in its histor z. Good bulls,
stations and be ars are in de-
mand everywhe e at good prices.
Unfortunately, however, there
are some purchi sers OF the pure
| bred animals W ID seem to think
that their chic Evirtue is that
they can contil ue TO retain their
superior qualit es and transmit
them to the r offspring when
treated as scr bs are commonly
treated. Con jepuently little are
no attention sfgiyen to feeds
and feeding, lousing, or protec-
ton from tic IS. The animal is
put out with a bunch of scrubs
and left to Unfit for himself on
a ticky pastl re than too often a
pasture in name only. Where
such treatm mt is accorded them,
Is it any VIC ader that the owners
of such bad yihandle animals say
that. pure,l ,eds don't pay? Most
assuredly they do not-when
owned by men who are unable
are unwilling to give them at
tention they should have.
Let's have more pure breds,
espf cially sires, by all means ;
butt when we get them, let's see

attention don't make scrubs of

1T is a remarkable fact that in In

The average rainfall is 600 inches

foot a week. This seems almost be-
yond comprehension when 1t is consid-
cred that the rainfall Of the United
States, for instance, ranges from six
teen to thirty-fve inches. In some
places there have been as high as six
ty-fve inches of water in year, but
this Is the exception.
During the rainy season In Chera-

BOMBS FROM AIRPLANES.
Simple Device That Aids In Dropping

At the numerous aerial bombing

how to drop bombs accurately on sta

Bombs Of all classes are used, from the
eight pound high explosive bomb to the
200 pound bomb as we'll as the phos-

and most bombs are dropped up wind.
Bomb dropping is a most important
branch OF the air service. and pilots
have been known to drop bombs on en-

good heights and also on the vital
parts of bridges and on depots and
railway functions, munition plants, aer-

MAKE YOURSELF STRONGER

People with strong constitutions
escape many minor ills that make life
miserable for Others. Don't you envy
the friend who does not know what u
headache is, whose digestion is perfect
and sleep undisturbed?
How far do you come from this des-
cription and have you ever made an
earnest effort to strengthen your con-
stitution, TO build up your system to
ward off disease and discomfort?
Everyone cannot have perfect health
but unless you have an organic disease
1t is generally possible to improve your
physical condition by attention TO the
rules of health, the first of which is to
keep the blood built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People contain just the elements need
ed to build up the blood and restore
the lost color and vitality. New en-
ergy circulates through the system
with the enriched blood, the heart
stops its alarming palpitating, color
returns to cheeks and lips.
Nothing more is needed exceptsun-
light, good air, proper food and rest.
If you do not know exactly what rules
to follow in these matters write today
to the DR. Williams Medicine Co.

Washington, July 9.-By arrangement
of the state department with the Swis;
government, former German diplomatic
and consular officials, mostly clerical as.
sistants, who remained in this country
to care for the archives and effects oil
the German embassy and consulates tax.
en- over by the Swiss legation, have been
requested to return to Germany.
Safe conducts for them have been ar.
ranged with the British and French gov.
ernments. 1t is understood also that the
government is seeking to arrange for the
return to Germany of certain alien news
paper correspondents and Others who held
a close connection with the German gov
eminent in the days preceding the en-
trance of the United States into the
great war.
German subjects in this country who
have been in the employ of their govern
ment or whose connection with it was
believed to be Of semi.offieial character
are to be arrested and interned. The
arrests made in New York Saturday are
an earnest indication of this intention.
When the United States entered the
war it was the intention to endeavor to
encourage such persons to behave. Some
of them apparently regarded this policy
as weakness and sought to take advsn-
tage of the comparative freedom given
them. II is likely that if efforts to help
Germany on the part of Germans in this
country are not curtailed this govern
ment will be prepared TO adopt positive
measures in dealing with the situation.
The department of state made an Off
,ial statement yesterday in explanation
of the virtual deportation of Heinrich

German embassy's chancelleries in Wash

A Comparison,

A German military critic said that
Robert E. Lee was Americas ablest
soldier But when Lees army of In
vasion came up into Pennsylvania il!
didn't cut down a tree, trample a gar
den or steal pig. Indeed. Lee was so
good soldier that he said the burning
of hambersburg was a military blum
der for which he was not responsible.
The officer in all Americas wars who
did the most burning. hacking and rob-
bling was Benedict Arnold after he had
turned traitor to his country. But the
chief effect of 1t was to solidify the col
onists into an effort to win the Revolu-
tion.-Girard In Philadelphia Ledger.

Iaorrote DOG Eaters.

During our trip through the Philip
pines we visited the dog market, where
the Igorrotes bought and sold half
starved CANNES with visions of great
feast of the protruding ribs. The Igor
rotes are about as much like the cultur-
ed Filipinos as they are like cultured
Americans or cultured japanese. But
the fact that the Igorrotes eat dogs has
done as muck to prejudice us against
the Filipinos as has the story that the
Chinese eat rats to turn us against
the well bred Chinese, who not only do
not eat rats. but even have a distaste
for caviar and limburger. - Maynard

the earth would be spiral around that

wire around 1t like thread ON a spool,
take ont the stick and stretch the coil
until the space between each turn is,
say, one-third Of an inch and make a
hundred turns of the wire. Then this
spiral or coil would represent the track
of the earth through space during
hundred years. The sun moves toward
the star Vega at a speed Of twelve
miles per second and carries the earth,
all the planets and their moons along.
But they all move around the sun at
the same time and therefore traverse
spirals. represented fairly by extended

Law sons implication of Warburg, a mem Der of the Federal Reserve Banking Board, has brought the matter to light, as Lawson testified that War burg was one of the biggest bankers in the country, being connected with the big banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, and that he was responsible for the warning from the Federal Re- serve board to the bankers of the country to stop financing the entente allies.
