The Home Economics committee of
the Prowers County War Council of
Food Supply are contemplating the
holding of canning demonstrations in
various points in the county in the
near future. In this work the State
Agricultural college will render every
assistance, presumably under the able
instruction of Mr.. Vaplon, who has
made such splendid record in the
work of the Boys and Girls clubs
over the entire state. 1t is hoped
that definite announcements relative
to these demonstrations can be pre-
scented in the near future.

News Letter

Denver, Colo, June %, 1917-The
state public utilities commission has
set July 10 as the date for hearing
into the application of the railroads
for permission to make 15 per cent
increase in all freight rates in Colo
RADIO When they filed their tariffs
providing for the blanket increase the
railroads asked that the advance be
made effective July l. The utilities
commission, however, has now sus-
pended these tariffs until November
in order that shippers and other
interested parties may appear before
it and be heard as to their attitude
towards an mtrastatc freight rate
increase.
The hearing will probably continue
for a week or more, and in many re-
spects will be one of the most import
ant proceedings of state rate regula-

ton in Colorado. The public utilities
commission has already let it be
known that the railroads will have to
fully justify rate advances, if any ere
granted. In 4 general letter just
made public the commission has re-
quested commercial and other busi-
ness organization to advise their
members of the hearing, Inquiries al
ready made at the office of the com
mission in Denver indicate that prac-
tically every shipping interest in the
state will be represented at the hear
ing, which will be held in the COM
missions hearing room in the capitol

The Musical Marvels of the Chautau-
qua


The Althea players comprise the
greatest sextette of lady musicians
and entertainers ever brought to-
gether. For several years The Bea-
sey Sisters alone have been charming
and thoroughly delighting lyccum
audiences and their numbers alone
are worthy of prominent place on
any chautauqua program.
The unanimous praise of the critics
and success of artistic triumphs
have placed Mayfiowcr and Violet
Beasey in the foremost ranks of con-
cert artists. The New Orleans Daily
Picayune recently said of them: "The
tumultous applause bestowed upon the
Beasey Sisters after their singing
and magnetic violin playing was ac-
knowledged with simplicity ths,t was
charming" The Misses Beasey are
marvcls in versatility. Blessed with
magnetic personality and with ex-
uberance of youthful enthusiasm they
captitvate the hearts of their audi
enccs with original AID thrilling num-
bers of music, song and story.

ewes receive a limited grain ration
varying from one-fourth to one-half
pound per day, depending on their con-
dition.
Ewes receiving a grain ration before
lambing always produce more milk for
lambs. The grain mixture used at
State College farm consists of five
parts of shelled corn, three parts OF
oats, two parts of wheat bran and one
part of oilmeal.
After lambs are born the eve will
not consume as much rOughage feed.
More grain is then necessary to give a
milk flow sufficient for the best growth
of the lamb. The grain mixture should
be increased, therefore, One-half pound
or more daily per eve, depending on
her condition and also upon the num-
Der of lambs she is raising.
Next to proper feeding, exercise is
considered the most important factor
in keeping ewes in good condition for
Landing. Exercise lots should be we'll
drained to prevent sore feet. 1t is well
to allow ewes to range on pasture dur
ing the winter, since exercise gives
strength and enables them to produce
lambs with less effort and of strong
er, more vigorous type.
