 Alamc, Estrat and Henry Para vara, the latter a resident of Doug las for 20 years, had been fishing from SO to 100 miles to the south westward and the story, a straight and bclicyablc one told by the for mcr two is as follows:

They called Co Parayara and re- ccivcd no answer. They arose and found the boat was cnmcshcd in a field of kclp and that their partner was not on board.
 Alamc and Estrat got thc engine to working and cruiscd around for several hours but found nothing of the missing man. They then made for Douglas with news of the mis- hap. which they reported to the of- Gcials.

Frank A. Scott, chairman of the newly created war industries board of the Council of National Defense. which is to have general supervision
 over the war-industrial activity of the nation, announces that the new board will be organized at once. Two or three of tho members are out Of town and messages have been sent them urging their presence in Washington at once to assume their new duties
 Nations, not armies, are Che units Of modern war" Mir. Scott said in discussing tho task before the board. Nothing less than the full power of our country must be cx- ertcd. Every resource. human and material. must be placed at the dis posal of our government. In war time is of Che essence, and this ap- plies as well to the production Of the things necessary for the soldier as to the movements of armies. This thought tho American people must take home.

it's effect in the milk supply. If the
manager of herd has nothing to offer
in the way of kindness or love to his
animals he can do infinite harm. He
may apparently lose control of himself
at times and feel justified in delivering
severe beatings; but such actions are
not good as an excuse. Forbid any
kicks in the bellies or any striking

Secret of His Power.
In Houston, Texas, In the year 1853,
Edward NJ. House was born. He was
educated at the Hopkins grammar
school, New Haven, Conn, and at
Cornell university. He has been active
all his adult life in Democratic politics,
but never has been q candidate for Of

Add to these admittedly meager de-
tails one fact and unquestionably you

purpose Of consultation on really high
public matters. From the day that he
was old enough to undertake serious
study, Edward M. House has been deep
In the books Of politics. economics and
legislation. He has marshaled In his
mind all the greater events which have
happened in these three words. More

ingly time enough has gone by and
things enough have been proved or
dlsproved to give certainty to the
word that Woodrow Wilson las found
Edward M. House an advisory asset. q.
There hardly can be much of real
mystery about man who twice since
this great war began las been sent
abroad as a special commissioner for
the president Of the United States. Col
onel House has been twice in Berlin,
five times In Paris, and frequently In
other of the great European capitals.
Some day 1t may be that Woodrow
Wilson will write what may be called
an photographed review Of his adj
ministration. If he does 1t is entirely
likely that the part taken by Colonel
House In the shaping Of some of the
policies of the president may be given
the page place which many men be-
lieve that 1t deserves.
No Mystery There.
While living In New York Colonel
House resides in an apartment not
very far uptown. 1t is a homelike
place where good books are found and
where good friends may come. 1t Is
genial place and no curtain Of mystery
hangs over the door Of any one Of its
rooms. Men 60 there and are well
come. They 60 and they talk. Man

from books and more perhaps II we

an impression he has made on Texas
legislative history never may be known
definitely, but there is enough salient
to make Texans know that they are
right In attrlbuting to him many of
their public welfare acts.
Though not accounted wealthy In
these days of huge fortunes, Colonel
House is quite we'll fixed financially
and Is not engaged In business of any
kind.
Has Studied Hard.
have talked to Colonel House and
have learned things which make me
feel that shall not go wrong when
try to put an Interpretation upon some
of his methods Of doing things. He is
free enough to say that he has studied
hard at economic, political and lesis-
lative subjects. He probably even
would be willing to admit that he
thinks the results of these studies con.
tinued and their results retained, have
enabled him to be of some service
when men were seeking information
concerning events in the past which
have relation to events In the present
or events expected In the future.
Therefore, there Is here man who
has held what he has studied, who
has collated and correlated the hap
penings of history. who has drawn
lessons from them, who takes an In
terest as deep in the living present as
he does in the dead past, and who mer
believe Is able. to make his knowledge

Woodrow Wilson did not meet his
friend Colonel House until the days
when he was holding Office as COVER

friends of Mr.. Wilson that almost in

the Texan had been of service along

Woodrow Wilson, It Is said, turns
away from the studies Of states, past

reading of what the English call penny

Is said that the speaker of the house
Of representatives, Champ Clark, stops
frequently his mental digging into all
kinds Of history to take up for relief
purposes books of the kind which

Reads Good Fiction.
In the library Of Colonel House
there Is plenty OF good fiction. He
does not turn to Nick Carter, nor to

The Pawnee" Of Beadle dime novel
fame, but he manages to keep the men,

on the work OF preparing material

cow RELISHES ROUGH FEEDS
Animal Possessed of Large, Roomy d.
gestlve Tract That Is Built for
Handling Bulky Feed.

Unlike the hog, the COW has large
roomy digestive tract that is built for
the handling Of rough feeds. The COW
digests her feed to best advantage
when her ration is bulky, as the bulky
parts Of the feed keep the small par
ticles of grain apart and thus allow
them to be thoroughly acted on by the
digestive juices. The hay and silage
should not constitute all the bulk of
the ration, as part of it can proftably
be supplied by such feeds as corn and
cob meal, ground oats, wheat bran and
distillers' dried grains-Iowa Circular

CALVES ON SEPARATOR MILK
Poor Practice to Pour Liquid Into Dir
ty Trough and Let Animals
Drink Their Fill.

IF we are ready to admit that
cows milk is too good for cows
calf and that 1t is economically profit
able to rob the future COW for the
sake Of present gains, then it Is quite
necessary to know how to raise calves
on separator milk or other artificial
and unnatural foods, says writer.
The usual practice is to pour sepa-
rator milk, sometimes cold, into a
large trough which Is never cleaned,
and allow the calves to drink until
they are satisfied. This method means
potbellied, runty calves, that never
make the growth they should, even
though they fortunately escape the
ravages of indigestion.
