WAUKESHA, Wis, August 1S.-Miss Grace Lusk, the school teacher accused of killing the wife of Dr. David Roberts two months ago. was held to the De- cember term of the circuit court with out bail late today. Dr. Roberts. hus- band of the murdered woman, was a witness at the preliminary hearing.
 The shooting took place June 21, and led to the revelation of friendship between the veterinarian and the school teacher which amounted to what was termed an infatuation on the part of the latter.
 The schoolteacher pleaded not guilty today.
 Pale but composed she sat with hel back turned to Dr. Roberts during the sessions of Judge Thomas court. Witt her was her father, Dr. A. P. Lusk a dentist of Mosinee, Wis.
 Four witnesses were examined. L L. Blott a business associate of pr Roberts. and Dr. Davies testified to the finding of the body of Mrs Roberts The doctor said Miss Lusk was stil in the house and in excited tones spoke of the awful names that Mrs. Roberts had called her.
 1 Dr Roberts refused to answer ques- 1 tions regarding a number of unsigned | letters introduced among the exhibits The doctor gave as his reason his con- stitutional right to decline to answer any questions put to him that migh l tend to incriminate him."

DRAFT EVADERS
 T0 BE CHASED W|THDESERTERS
iRepuplican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-ReneWed instructions that drafted men who fail to report for service will be classed and punished as deserters were sent to United States district attorneys and agents of the department of justice to- night by Attorney General Gregory.
 Provost Marshal General CroWder has ruled that persons who neglect to appear for examination will be ac- cepted as automatically and their priv ilege of claiming exemption denied It was to help carry this policy into ef- feet that the attorney general acted. His instructions follow:
 Tt has been determined by the pro- vost marshal general that persons who fail to appear for their physical ex- animation after having received their notices to do so from the local boards, by such failure waive their right to physical exemption and are accepted by the board without such examination. Their names will be certified to the district boards as chosen by the local boards for the national army.
 If they do not then appear to claim exemption they will thereby waive the right to such exemptions as they might have claimed, and their names will be certified by the district boards 10 the dUJuIdnI SeHtIdlS Ol lllttl spective states as persons for the ma tional army The adjutant general will then mail them a notice to report fol duty at a specified time and place and such notices will be given publicity according to regulations of the con- scription.
 Such persons then become subject to the military authority at the time designated by the adjutant general for them to report. Should they fail tc comply with this notice they become deserters from the army and will be treated as such by the military authorities.
 'It is therefore a matter of vital con cern. not so much to the government as to the persons themselves, to set that they give the correct address fol their notices to be mailed to them Should they fail to comply with these notices after receiving them. they be come automatically drafted withou regard to physical examination or t exemption or discharge.

SHORTAGE '0F WHEAT
 IS COMING
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Declar- ing the United States and it's allies face a wheat deficit of 400, O00, 900 bush els unless new economies are lnaugu- rated. Herbert c. Hoover tonight ap- pealed again to the American people to eliminate waste and to conserve wheat by substituting other cereals. saving of one pound of wheat flour week for every person, he declared, would go far toward solving entirely the food question.
 The allies" said MT. Hoover in formal statement 'are isolated from
 their markets, other than Canada and the United States on which they were acsustamed to rely before the war The Russian supply cannot be got out.
 Bulgarian and Rumanian supplies are in the hands of the central empires. The voyage from Australia and India
 is three times as long and therefore re- quires three times as many tons of shipping as is required from North Atlantic ports. There has been a large failure in South American countries
 All the allied countries are econo- mizing their food. But the allies are unable to use other cereals alone for bread. They can use them only as added to wheat flour to make the war bread now in universal use in Euro pean countries.
 The deficit of 400. 000,G00 bushels
 can be at least partially overcome if we can increase our exports from S8.- 000,0O to 220,0OG0O0 This can be accomplished if we will substitute one pound of other cereals for one pound of wheat flour weekly per person: that is, if We reduce our consumption or
 wheat flour from five pounds per week to four pounds per week per person.
 Tt will be no privation to us and will reduce the privation of our allies" France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Belgium, Mr Hoover estimated
 must import during the next F months SIT .0c0,000 bushels of wheat and 674,- 1 000,000 bushels of other cereals to meet normal consumption requirements Against this is balanced an estimated wheat surplus of 5000, 900 bushels in the United States and 120, 900, 900 bush- | els in Canada, and a surplus of other l cereals totalling S29.000,000 bushels in the United States, and l19, 9,000, 900 bush 1 els in Canada.
 These figures alone represent wheat deficit of 369,000, 900 bushels but in ad- dition it is pointed out that the United 1 States must reserve a part of her SUD- 1 ply for neutrals furnishing this country
 vital supplies, and must also protect
 it's reserve stocks. bringing the total
 deficit up to about 400, ,000 900 bushels.
 While this situation is one of great difficulty and concern" said the foo6 administrator. it must be met and met by elimination of waste and re- duction in wheat consumption and
 proper substitution on the part of the
 allied people and ourselves; in one
 word, by an effective administration ot | the available supply"

PRESIDENT MAY MISREPRESENTATION
 IF MARRIED MEN
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, August IS. - Re neWed discussion of the status of mar ried men under the selective service law has been aroused by publication of President Wilson's reply yesterday to Senator Weeks inquiry dealing with this and other subjects. In many quar- ters the presidents statement that he had no doubt Senator Weeks point as to the exemption of married men was well taken, was interpreted as an lndl- cation that he approved exemption ot any man of family who had not married merely to escape military duty.
 The president has full power to direct that regulations governing selection be amended to this effect. A proposal specifically to exempt all married men was made when the bill was in the senate an amendment to that effect by Senator Smith of Georgia being lost by a wide margin. This, with the regulation later promulgated by the president making exemption possible only in case of actual dependency, are taken as indications that no general exemption of married men as class will be given now.
 In cautioning local boards today against attempting to fill quotas by selecting an negotiable number of men who have waived exemption and are, therefore, practically volunteers, Gen. eral Crowder said that the greatest care must be exercised in sending for ward the last ten per cent of any quotas.
 The last ten per cent" he said must be selected with great care to be sure that no one in the whole quota is sent for military duty while select ed person with an earlier order of obi gation for military service is allowed to remain at home"

Number Dead unestimated


 MONTREAL, Aug. 1S.-A report from Rigaud, Quebec, late today es- timated the dead in the Curtis and Harvey powder explosion at from IT to 25 persons. Search of the ruins for bodies had not been possible as the shattered remnants of the buildings still were blazing.
 A roll ca l of the employees at the plant will be made to ascertain Ii possible the exact number of dead. This work has been difficult because the first explosion occurred when the workers were changing shifts.
 Officials of the company stated that it had been established two foremen are among the missing and as they had not been heard from, it is felt certain they were killed. About fifty persons were injured.
 The difficulty in rounding up the thousands of men and women workers at the plant in order to determine the number of missing, was increased by the fact that hundreds of the en- ployes, terrified by their experiences. had scattered through the adjacent countryside
 Doubt was expressed that a com plete roll cali could be had tomorrow.
 It was reported tonight that the com panys officials had been warned that the plant would be blown up, but as several threats of that character had been received before the most recent warning, it was said also had been ignored The officials stated tonight, however, they are satisfied the ex- plosions were caused by fire started by overloaded machinery and had been putirelV accidental

GREEN FEEDING IN WINTER
Experience In North American Con.
test Disproves Idea That Sue
culent Feed Is Necessary.

A great deal of stress has been laid
on succulent green feeds as an i'm
portant part of an egg ration, but the
experience in the North American egg
laying contest seems rather to disprove
that idea. No green feed is furnished
except that which grows in the yards
during the summer, yet the winter lay
ing has been very satisfactory. In a
supplementary test the poorest laying
pen consumed the most green feed and
the highest laying pen the least. There
is no doubt that green feed is good for
poultry. The question Is whether 1t Is
essential to heavy egg production in
winter, and the experiments tend to
prove that 1t is not. The reason hens
that consume great deal of bulky,
green feed do not lay as well as those
that eat more concentrated feed IL
easily seen. Because of its bulk the
green feed fills up and satisfies, but
does not contain the high percentage
Of nutrients that dry feeds do. In or
der to become high-power layers. hens
must have high power feed. so unless
the bulky. green feed is supplemented
by highly concentrated feeds, having
the food elements that green feed
lacks, II will not furnish the excess Of
nutrlment tina: v needed to make eggs.

from one place to another they are apt
not to breed well, and, other conditions
being equal, they breed better the third
season they are In a locality than the
second.
Breeding geese should have consider
able exercise and be kept moderately
thin In flesh through the winter by
ties for swimming. The Emden geese
lay few eggs but make mothers. Geese
are graZers and too much grain Is not
good for them. To insure fertile eggs
they should have an abundance of
green food and have access to pond
or other body of water. If this is not
possible a tub of water set level with
the surface of the ground may be sub
stituted.
Very early Matching Is not desirable,
since the goslings do not thrive well
unless they have an abundance OF
grass. For the first two or three days
they should be given nothing except
grass and water. Later little feed
of scalded cracked corn should be CIV
en- in addition three times day. The
goslings are liable to be overcome by
the heat. and should always have some
place of retreat where they may es-
cape the suns rays. The eggs may be
hatched advantageously under hens,
but the gosiings should be immedi-
ately taken away from them. They
may be brooded for a short time in
outdoor brooders and after that con-
fined In houses at night.

RIGHT FEED FOR EGGS
Methods Employed at Nebraska
University Farm.
Grain Thrown Into Deep Litter In
Morning 10 Keep Fowls Busy
Scratching - Electric Lights
Found to Be Useful.

The following methods and feeds are
used at the Nebraska university farm
at Lincoln in connection with the poul-
try department:
During the winter months the birds
receive as their first feed in the morn
ing scratch feed, such as follows:
Two pounds OF cracked corn. two
pounds of kafir two pounds of wheat,
two pounds of oats, one pound of bar
ley. This is thrown into deep litter
and in such amounts as will keep the
birds hungry and working for food
throughout the morning.
About ten O'Clock feed of sprouted
oats is given. Cabbage, mangels and
green alfalfa are sometimes used in
addition TO this green feed, in small
quantities, to offer variety.
At noon very light feed of wet
mash is given. 1t is made from the
following mixture and mixed with
skim milk: Two pounds of cornmeal
feed, two pounds of bran, two pounds
of white middlings, two pounds of
ground oats, two pounds of meat
scrap, two pounds of corn gluten feed.
This is fed in troughs of sufficient
length so that each bird has enough
room.
About four o'clock In the afternoon
a liberal feeding of grain is given.
Special attention is paid to giving the
birds all they want for the night feed.
The poultry-house is equipped with
electric lights, which are turned on
at five O'Clock in the morning and
again at four o'clock in the afternoon,
and the birds thereby have longer
day in which to work. 1t has been
found a paying investment to have
lights in the house for the early morn
ing and night feeds.
A dry mash, composed of the same
Ingredients and proportions as above
mentioned for wet mash, is placed be-
fore the birds for free access. Grit,
oyster shell and charcoal are also
available in hopper.
