Division officers believe the camps

OATS IN FATTENiNG RATION

Ground oats will be found good

Of the fattening ration oats should
not constitute more than one-third Of

bacteria that live on their roots. These
bacteria In return for being given a
home (nodules) on the plant roots and
for food from the plant take nitrogen
from the air and leave it in the soil
for the plants use.
There are millions Of dollars worth
of this nitrogen over each acre; so the
bacteria have an almost endless sup
ply to draw on.
The way to tap this great wealth ia
to grow these plants that have these
wonderful bacteria on their roots.
These plants do not do well without
the bacteria. When alfalfa, clover,
peas, beans or any Of the other Of
these legume plants are sown on a
piece of land for the first time it is
usually necessary to sow the bacteria
as well as the plant seed.
In these days when plant food is SO
important the greatest possible use
should be made OF the legumes, the
greatest food producers for man and
beast.

Efficient SCALY LEG CURE
laseets Which Cause Trouble Can Be
Killed by Application Of Sulphur
and Lard.

Poultry kept in dirty houses often Is
troubled with coarse scales on the
legs. These are due to the presence
of mites, which have burrowed be-
meath the scales. They are air breath
ing insects. and the treatment consists
in depriving them Of air. This is done
by applying mixture of equal parts
of sulphur and lard, two or three
times. 1t Is a simple, remedy, but an
efficient one. A free application of
an ointment made by mixing tea
spoonful of coal oil with teacupful
Of lard, will bring relief, and should
in short time work a cure.

WHY RAISE LIVE STOCK?

Because the by-products Of
live stock are from year to year
advancing in prices and promise
to continue to I'm advance.
Among them are wool and hides.
Because no permanent system
Of agriculture Is likely to be
adopted IL the farmer does not
base that on the growing of live
stock, in part. 1t is the lack of
permanent system that has led
to the exhaustion of our soil,
both as to its plant food and as

Because the raising of live
stock enables the farmer to util-
ize his pastures, which, rightly
handled, are among the most
profitable acres on his farm.

AUSTRALIANS AND AMERICANS TOAST
 CAUSE OF ALLIES

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 1J.- The spirit of the American people and the strength of the ties which bind the United States to the allies constituted the keynote of a dinner given recently by Amrican citizens resident in Aus tralia to the governor-general of the commonwealth, Sir Ronald c. Munro Ferguson, at Melbourne. Although the function was in honor of the kings chief representative in Australia, the dinner was intended also to celebrate the entry of the United States into the war on the side of Great Britain. The occasion was one of expressions of CO., operation and mutual esteem by Ameri- cans and British. There were toasts to King George and President Wilson. Speeches were delivered by the gov 'ernor-general and others in official life, Britons, Americans and Austral- ians: and messages of felicitation from President Wilson and the Australian prime minister, William NJ. Hughes, were read. The governor-general said;
 The different value set by one na- tion on a scrap of paper on which is written it's constitution and that set by another on the scrap of paper on which was inscribed it's solemn inter- national pledges is one of the reasons why Germany went to war in 1914 and why the United States abstained from | mt Nh Ri is at stake and a people resolved on righteousness can no longer remain outside the ring. and when the United | States is resolved to be no longer in doubt when ten millions liable for military service register in 24 hours that is the great answer of the United States to the German claim Q exercise unrestricted piracy and unbridled do- minion. It reveals the American mind | toward German aims and German bru- tality."
 President Wilson's cablegram read: 'I gladly associate myself with our citizens in this manifestation of inter national good will;" and MT. Hughes l W uO was DiCNtAttu bs PoOi AteA AAA from attending the dinner, said in his message: The people of the great re- public are to be congratulated on ,ne fact that they have taken up arms for freedom. America and Australia to- day are drawn together by bonds of common ideal, made strong by sacri- fees which time and circumstances will cement more strongly for our common good" George Foster Pearce, minister for defense, who represented the commonwealth in the absence of MT. Hughes, recalled the visit of the Atlantic battleship fleet to Australian waters in 1909 as proof of the "big brotherhood" of the United States to- ward Australia, and evoked applause by adding:
 Australians will never forget that the heritage of self government which they enjoy today was brought very largely by the men who died on Bun ker Hill"

John L. Finley, President of New York Board of Educa- ton, Tells of Effect of War on French Educational Sys- tenn.
iBy Review Leased wire)

NEW YORK, July 19-Schools in caves, with pupils and teacher wear ing gas masks, are extremes to which war ridden France has gone to in sure for every child that heritage in which alone is the prophecy Of an en- during nation" says an official report to the regents to the University of the state of New York, by John l.. Fin ley. president of the university and state commissioner of education, who recently returned from France, where he studied the effect of the war on the French school system. President Finley especially sought the advice Of the French in meeting like conditions here. This is the advice summed up:
 Do not let the needs of the hour, heavily fall upon the men and wo men of the day, permit neglest of the defense of tomorrow. Sacrifice every thing to bequeath the spirit that has made the institutions which we would preserve and enlarge in our children"
 MT. Finley urged the United States to take time to prepare against ex haustion of technical skill and pro fessional equipment.
 Except to make place for physical training in her schools which is not yet generally prescribed or enforced President Finley said there is little change in the French cirriculum France, after an unsuccessful exper iment of fifteen years, withdraw mili tary training from here public schools

NEW CHANCELLOR IS
 FOR THE SUBMARINE
(Continued From Page one)

 Russian mobilization and that the sub marine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Britain's illegal blockade starvation war.
 Dr. Michaelis in the couse of his ad- dress said:
 Bitter criticism has been directed against a highly deserving man, who occupied this post before me. This criticism has been oft inspired by enmity and hate: I think it would have been better if enmity and hate paused behind closed doors. When the history fthis war lies open be- fore us we shall all alike completely appreciate what Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg's chancellorship meant for the enemy.
 Appointed chancellor by the em- peror. I have the honor for the first time to communicate with your high house. A great weight has been laid on my shoulders in a most grave time. Trusting God and German might l ventured to undertake it and shall now serve the cause to the utmost of my power. beg from you your trusty cooperation in the spirit which has bee nsplendidiy maintained in this body during the war"
 The faint hope that America at he head of the neutrals. would check Great Britains illegality was vain, Germany's final attempt to avoid the exteremity by peace offer failed and the submarine campaign was adopted. said the chancellor. The submarine, the speaker continued, had done all and more than had been expected and that the false prophets who had pre- dicted the end of the war at a definite lime had done a disservice 10 the Fatherland.

PARDONS ARE GIVEN
 WOMEN BY WILSON
(Continued From Page oue)

- cAnC CAIl bands of several of the prisoners had interceded in their favor and after he had been told that some of them had small children at home needing their care. Some of MT. Wilson's friends declared this element undoubtedly had been the determining influence with him. Others suggested that he acted in the hope that pardons would mini mize publicity, an ayowed part of the women's campaigning. The suffragists insisted he had become convinced that the country was aroused over the work house sentences.
 Speaks for Itself
 Every party to the incident. how ever, was left to it's own speculations on the subject. Secretary Tumulty said Issuance of the pardons would have to speak for itself and all other officials in a position to know the pres ident's thought on the subject were silent.
 Women Determined
 "The presidents action in no way effects the general suffrage situation, said the woman's party statement. "The only difference it makes is that the women are out of jail. That is a matter of little concern to us compar- ed with the concern we feel over the great vital issue for which we are fighting. Picketing will be resumed very soon and with the utmost vigOr.
 Will Appear Saturday
 No date has been set for the next demonstration, but it probably will be Saturday. The suifragist leaders say they fully expect the next body of pick cts will be arrested and sentenced tC the workhouse.
