WOODEN \ !. Ships !! AGAINST | ( 4
Steel SHIPPING

It seems to us out in Iowa that
the POWERS THAT BE cannot get
down to the business Of building
ships, as the people want. The war
has been on now three years with
in few days and our foreign ex-
ports have suffered because of this
scarcity of ships.
After much "dilly dalIing'' con-
gress passed a Law, to build or pur-
chase fleet OF merchant shipping
vessels and the President appointed
Gen Gbethals to be the manager.
Gen. Geothals believes tlhat steel
ships arb the best, everything con-
sidered, of the two,- wood or steel.
The shipping board Of which chair
man Denman is the boss is in
favor of the wooden variety 80
There comes al clash.
THE government is letting COM
tracts for wooden vessels nearly
every day ais we need them badly,
and of the two they are more
quickly constructed.
The wooden vessels could be built
wherever suitable timber for their
construction could be obtained. So
1T will open thousands of miles Of
our coast country to the ship build
ing industry; it means that humid
red men could work in construct
ing wooden vessels where one
could do so in steel.
There are about two mdlIion tons.
of carrying capacity of steel vessels
now in construction in the United
States. These vessels are under con-
tract to other countries but as our
government needs them they have
taken them over for our own use.
and will rush them to completion
to operate in the present war.
After these vessels are off the
ways, large number o. steel stand
ardized--Mke the Ford Car sold by
Clarence Christensen sbeamers will
be put on The stocks immediately
and all parts ssanda sdized SO that
every piece will have it's exact dup
licate, and a thousand pieces will
be as one.
The CUT AND TRY, ddfficulty Will
be obviated and ALL the workers,
like the fellows OF the sIaughker-
house. will have their own little
bits to perform and as the last
man moves ahead so the ship will
be the more nearly finished and
ready to HIT THE WAR ZONE.

STRANGE. Just before midnight, on the
last street car, he stumbled into his
domicile. The good wife was sitting
up for him.
When he appeared his eyes were
black and blue, his face was scratched
and puffed, his collar had been torn
from his shirt and he looked as though
he had been rolled in the dirt.
"Ah," said the wife, II told you not
to go to that meeting, that something
would happen to you"
1T was not at the meeting" ex-
planned the husband. "The meeting

Five Great Men in History.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand Out-George Washing
ton. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JEFF
ferson, Alexander Hamilton and John
Marshall, says James Bryce in the
Youths Companion. Whether or not
the last four of them were great men
In the full sense of the word is a ques-
ton on which people were not agreed
in the lifetime of those four and are
not agreed today; but everyone felt
then as everyone feels now that Wash
tngton was great. He is a world fig
ure. In mere intellectual power he was
not superior to the other four. He had
less originality and less wide range
of capacity than Franklin, less versa
tile activity of mind than jefferson,
less brilliant gifts for constructive pol
Icy and the exposition thereof than
Hamilton, less logical grasp and pene-
tration of thought than Marshall; bat
he rose superior to them all in GER
tain massive strength of character, IN
stately dignity, in calm firmness of
purpose that neither the smiles nor the
frowns of fortune could divert from
the course his judgment had approved.
So his primaCy was undisputed then
and has remained undisputed ever
since.

Japan Is EXPORTING PuIp.

Japanese imports Of pulp have en-
countered obstacles, but, according to
the Japan Chronicle, it is believed that
the stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last un-
til the end of this year, while the do
nestle manufacture of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has appreciably
developed. AS a result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this is
not to be the disadvantage of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer-
ing from the scarcity of imported pulp,
for what they essentially want it not
yet producible in this country. 1t finds
that there is no. excessive domestic
pulp that is exported.

CAN CHINA BE INDEPENDENT
Entrance Into Great World War L.
Viewed From Different Angles
by Editors.

Much division of opinion exists in
japan regarding China's declaration
of war against Germany. says the
East and West News. Japan took tine
final step for two reasons: First, the
AnglO-Japanese alliance, and, second,
n deep-fOunded belief in the necessity
for solidarity of the far eastern pow
ers. The Osaka Asahi is strongly Op-
posed to Chinas participation In the
worlds war. 1t says: "China decided
to take the step, on the arrival of
Vice-Pres!dent Frng Kuo-chang at Pc
kin. Nothing could be more regret
table than for an independent nation
to be forced by others to do anything
1t doesn't want to do. The national
existence of any nation that yields to
coercion or undue persuasion is i'm
periled! Some people regarded Japan's
declaration of war against Germany
merely from the viewpoint of the alli-
ance with England, but We favored
Japan's dominance in this part of the
Pacific"
The editor of the Asahi wants to
know what Feng Kuo-chang meant
when he favored a declaration of war
by China against Germany, but OBJ
jected strenuously to Joining the en-
tente powers. docs he mean that,
like the United States, ChinaS declara-
tion of war shall be a separate act?"
asks the Asahi. "The grave fact is
that her present course was forced
upon her. Whether she joins the en-
tente or not matters little for the
present. The serious question is, can
China be independent from now on
ward?"

the milk produced by each COW is add.
ed and sample of the milk is tested
about the middle of each month. The
value of the butter fat and skim milk
Is calculated and the cost Of the feed
consumed Is deducted therefrom.
These monthly figures are entered on
another sheet for the yearly record.
Take, for example, the years record Of
the COW Fannie. She freShened late in
December 1914, dried off October 25,
1915, and freshened again December
25, 1915. Her profit above the cost
of feed amounted to $4s.39 for the year
1915.
A comparison of the yearly records
Of the seven cows with their photo
graphs is interesting. With the pic
lures at hand it will be seen that one
cannot judge the production of q COW
for the year from her conformation
alone. The COW Myrtle was q surprise
to her owner, for while she had never
given large quantity Of milk at a
milking, her record showed her to be
persistent mixer. She stood Sec
ond in profit over cost Of feed and re-
| turned to her owner more than the
combined profits of Ellen and Blanche.
The combined profits of Fannie, Dia.
mond, Pet, and Myrtle amounted to
$1S2.18, or an average of $45!04 per
COW, while the average profit of Diana,
Ellen and Blanche was $23.76, or about
One-half that of the first four cows. IF
this dairyman had had seven cows as
good as his best four, he would have
had total profit of $317.30 instead of
$253.45, difference of $63.95. This
amount would be large return for the
time spent in keeping the records.
Value of Dairy Records.
The only safe way of valuing dairy
cows is by the quantity of milk and
butter fat they produce. This neces-
states the keeping of records. These
records will point out the good and the
Improbable cows; the dairyman can
save the offspring of the good cows,
so that he will soon have q herd Of
large and economical producers.
The dairy milk sheet enables the
feeder to prepare proper rations and
feed these according to the quantity
of milk produced. All cows should not
be fed alike; the high producers re-
quire more feed than the low produc-
ers. Without records it is impossible
to feed economically.
Three common rules for feeding are:
1) Feed I pound of grain to every 8
to 4 pounds Of milk produced, or l
pound of grain daily to every pound
OF butter fat produced per week; (2)
feed all the roughage the cows will
eat up clean; and (3) cut down on
the expensive feed when the COW be-
gins to gain in live weight.
In addition, the daily milk sheet en-
ables the dairyman, when a drop oc-
ours in the yield of milk, to detect and
ward off or check cases Of illness that |
might become serious if not treated |
promptly, and it also enables the own
er to check up on the thOrOughness |
Of the milking Of the different en-
ployees. Breeding records also should |
be kept In addition to production rec
ords.
Records are not only valuable to the
owner in the aforementioned ways,
but they aid in selling his stock. One
man in cow-testing association sold
his cows for $25 to $50 more because
Of their records.

Our Army Of Civil War.

During the first year of the Civil wa .
the number Of the regular army rose
to $4,000. Lincoln's first call for vol
unteers, April IS, 1851, was for $4,000
men for three months. At the begin

in the field was about $4,000. During
the next three years it was about 9OO,-
700. AT the close Of the war the Union
army numbered 100000 men. The to-
tai number Of troops furnished was
2,950,OOO men.
