BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS
Difficult to Buy Proper Feed staffs at
Random.

National Crop improvement servicel
Ihere are not a dozen feed stores
In the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients Of a first-class mixed
feed at all times and at reasonable
prices. and usually they do not carry
feeds of the same high quality used
by the mixers who work scientifically
through a laboratory. This is human
nature. Competition compels a dealer
to sell the cheapest quality. The best
quality Of feed is seldom carried. be-
cause the average buyer will not pay
the highest price. A good many ex-
pertinent stations in general way
WILL advocate that farmer mix all
his own feed, but they are human like
the rest of us and they will use recog-
n1zed brands in their own feeding
operations rather than go to the trou-
bic and take the time to follow their
own advice.
There are good many herds at
experiment stations which are kept as
sort of clinic for professors to prac-
tlce theories upon. The poor brutes
are used a good deal as guinea pigs
hospital practice. On the other
hand, at the experiment stations are
to be found many of the finest ami
mails ever bred.
The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
90 this widens your ration, and it is
correct to do so if it will reduce your
cost OF feeding. Mixed feeds, there
lore, are largely matter of arith.
metic.
You can usually get the result for
less money than by feeding more ex-
pensive grains separately.

The idea Of the union and the choice
OF the lady are highly approved ir
Japan. Prince VI Is twenty years old.
and the princess Is fifteen. and both
are receiving their education, so the
marriage will not take place for a few
years.
All the necessary arrangements have
been considered except the formal
sanction of the emperor and the for
NAL approval OF Prince VI, father Of
Prince VI, and Prince vi, his brother
both stated to be matters of form,
since Count Terauchi obtained the con-
sent Of the Korean princes before he
left Seoul.
Princess Masako Nashimoto was
born in November. 1901, and is now In
the third year class in the Peeress
school. She will complete her course
in the middle grade in 1918. She is one
OF the best students in her class.
The young Prince vi Is student in
the Military academy, from which he
will be graduated next year. Since he
was brought to Japan by the late
Prince Ito several years ago he has
lived entirely according to Japanese
custom.
The idea of such a union originated
with the late Prince Ito. No provision
for marriage Of this sort is made In
the constitution for the imperial fam
lily Of Japan. As result a revision
In the constitution will be necessary.

Ration Heaters for Soldiers.

National Geographic Society Bulletin.
In Italy and France women and chill
drer are rolling old newspapers into tight
rolls, pasting down the edges with glue or
paste. and boiling them in paraffin to
make ration heaters (scalda-ranclo) out Of
them for the use of the soldiers in the
trenches in the high Alps, where coal cam
not be sent. They are making them by
the million. The Italian National society
furnishes 100000 a day to the govern
ment, and the old newspapers are being
used up for this purpose so fast that
they are becoming scarce, and paraff!n
has become very expensive.
In America there are still millions Of
candle ends and thousands OF tons OF
newspapers scattered over the country,
and it would seem to be we'll worth while
for the thousands of willing hands in the
homes to convert them into these most
useful ration heaters for the boys at the
front. or for their use next winter in the
training camps, or ever for use at home,
where they can take the place Of the more
expensive solid alcohol or replace kIndiings
In the kitchen stove.
It is the easiest thing imaginable to
make ration heaters, or scada-rancio, as
they are called In italy. II one follows the
directions of the National Italian society.
Spread out four newspapers, eight
sheets in all, and begin rolling at the
long edge. Roll as tightly as possible I'M
til the papers are nall rOlleO, tnen fOiQ
back the first three sheets toward the
rolled part and continue to wrap around
the roll almost to. the first fold, then fold
back another three sheets and continue to
wrap around the roll again up to the last
margin of the paper. On this margin,
consisting of two sheets, spread a little
glue or paste and ontinue the rolling, so
as to make a compact roll of paper almost
like a torch. If six of the sheets are not
turned under. there will be too many
edges to glue.
While the newspapers may be cut along
the line of the columns before rolling and
the Individual columns rolled separately,
as is done in the making Of the trench
candles In France, it Is easier to roll the
whole newspaper into a long roll and then
cut it into short lengths. A sharp cary
ing knife, a pair of pruning shears, or an
old fashioned hay cutter will cut the rolls
easily. These little rolls must then be
boiled for four minutes in enough par
affin to cover them and then taken out
and cooled, when they are ready to be
put in bags and sent to the front. If there
are more newspaper than candle ends,
block paraffin can be bought for a few
cents at any grocery or drug store.
Little children and grown-ups in Italy
and France are rolling, gluing, and par
affirming these ration heaters by the mil
lion, and their fathers and husbands In
the high Alps and other places where
wood and coal cannot be sent are cooking
their rations over them"

.FAuLT-FINDlNe BAD HABIT
Is King of Indoor Sports But Causes
Others Displeasure and Gains
Critic Nothing.

Fault-finding Is perhaps the king of
indoor sports. Or should it be cata-
logued as the queen? 1t is n of the
simplest of pleasures. Thew are mil
lions of people who think they a dis
play their superior taste or knowledge
by finding fault.
The coffee is not right. My taste
about coffee, therefore, is superior and
more delicate than that of others.
There is something lacking in the deco
rations or the furniture. My Judgment,
therefore, is somewhat superior to the
other mans.
This habit of fault-finding is a most
disagreeable one-one, too, that grows
unless effort is made to overcome it,
| declares a writer in the Milwaukee
Journal. 1t eve appears to occur to
fault-finders that they themselves
may be lacking in taste or ability.
What Is the need, anyway, of damp
ening the pleasures of others In their
possessions or %actions? One almost
always can find something to COM
mend. And If there is nothing what
ever, one would be well to be gentle in
criticism, or else say nothing. There
are countless little things we may wish
were different, but it is not good to
keep pointing them out. Silence about
tritling things this n does not like is
n virtue.
Let us guard u tongues against
useless fault-fnding. Let us trim our
selves to the best model we can fine
and remember we are not responsible
for the conduct or the works of the
world ut large. The world may be
wrong sometimes. But 1t may fire
quently be right when we think l
wrong. And we ourselves have M
claim to perfectness in Judgment %
taste.

u. s. KEEPS DETAILED
RECORD OF SOLDIERS

Washington, D. CA complete in
dexed record containing detailed infor-
nation about every soldier in the
American army will be worked out by
the war department.
This record, involving a tremendous
amount of labor, is being prepared by
the statistical department Of the war
department under Major Zones
Today, the statistical department Is
into the old bureau Of the census build
ing at First and B streets. northwest.
1t has been Quartered in the offices OF
the adiutant general.
Much more room is needed because q
large force will be required to do the
amount of statistical work
which is comprehended in the plans for
collecting and dispensing information
about the troops.
Eventually, this department will have
the record of every soldier, the address
of his next of kin and SO On. The In
| slant a report comes here telling Of the
death of a soldier in France or In the
comps his next of kin is notified by
wire.
This is done even before the informa-
ton is turned over to the newspapers.
If the extent of the operations of the
American troops on the western front
becomes what it is expected to become.
the magnitude of the duty incumbent
on the statistical department will be
staggering.
Already some of the states have taken
UP this question of supplying informa-
ton to the relatives of troops. Massa-
chusetts has taken the lead, has es-
tablished a soldiers information bureau,
and has named William M. Stuart as its
Washington representative. Mr.. Stuart
has Offices in the Munsey building.
1t is probable other states will take
a similar course.
Under the plan Of Massachusetts, the
vast number of inquiries received at
the state bureau Of information, located
at Boston, will be referred here, the
facts obtained and then relatives will
be informed through the Boston office
This will be Of assistance to the wal
department in relieving it OF the task
of sending letters in reply to many
queries.

AlRMAN REPORTED DEAD
CAN'T GET CHECKS CASHED

Paris. (by mail)-Leonard NJ. Reno.
Of Chicago. American aviator attached
to a French %escadrille. is having diff
ficulty convincing friends and others
that he really isn't dead.
During a recent engagement, Reno
found himself in his machine over the
German lines doing battle with a Ger
man plane. The German placed a lucky
shot in Reno's gas tank. Several thou
SAND feet in the air. without gasoline
for his motor and with a belligerent
Teuton airman in the vicinity, gave
Reno no alternative but to make for
home. He did a lot Of aerial aero
battles and the German gave up the
chase, thinking his opponent done for.
Reno tumbled over the French lines in
safety, but a clump of trees interferred
with a smooth landing and he smashed.
Allied observers who saw the entire
performance. thought the youthful avi-
ator had gone to the honor CALL" and
SO reported. The news sped its way to
Paris. where Reno's friends remarked,

ceeded to settle down and mourn his
fate.
Chapter two Of Reno's accident
found him crawling from under his bat
tered machine and making for camp.
Then he was given leave" for Paris,
wher e he might recover from his

Chapter three finds Reno walking In
to a Paris bank. where he had deposited
funds. II would like to cash a check"
he said, as he presented himself at
the paying %teller's window. French
banks have the habit Of always look
ing at the book before they cash
checks. The customer always waits.

consulting the bookkeeper. w can't

Reno is dead. All his funds will be
sent back to his father in Chicago.

Like Mark Twain. Reno refused to
believe the story. or at least thought
1t was exaggerated. Luckily he hap
pened to know h manager of the
bank, who confirmed his story. The
check was cashed. Practically all OF
