Teaching of thrift is especially ap-
plicable to the middle west, the speak
err told Rotarians. With the markets
of the Rockies and the south knock
ing at the very doors of Nebraska
and Kansas, these two states together
with others in the middle west re-
main dormant while New England
states are making a fortune by manu-
featuring articles, the raw materials
of which are grown in the middle
west.
Buy Less, Produce More.
1.-The trouble with Kansas said
President Waters, lis that she buys
more than she produces. Our wheat
and corn crop and alfalfa crops are
mortgaged before they are grown for
articles manufactured out of the very
materials we grow at home. Each
year Kansas spend three-fourths of a
million dollars more for manufactured
articles than she receives for products
she Sells
Growing middle west cities which
do not manufacture articles and mere
iy exist from the products of farmers
are no more than parasites, the speak
er declared. The middle west must
learn thrift, he continued, and man
ufacture the articles possible from
its products.
He emphasized the need of teaching
in the schools the trades of manu-
featuring concerns and at the same
time teaching the future employees of
the factories, the need of sanitation
and other essentials of factory life.
By doing so, the middle west is not
only preparing to retain its young
men, but at the same time insuring
ideal factories that will insure strong,
able men and women in future gener-
atoms Tho speaker, too, emphasized
the need of a firmer government in
the homes of America

Waters, a description of the trip to

dozen special cars of delegates to the

Waters Tells ROtarianS State
Needs More 'Pep."
Essential to Get in the Manu-
featuring Game Now.
KEEP ABREAST OF THE EAST
State Must Learn to Produce
More Than People Consume.
Make Plans for Their
Trip to Tulsa.

THE world war even with its horrors
and bloodshed has its compensatory
factors. 1t has driven strong drink
from Europe. 1t has made us value
fancy foods less and thrift more. We
have learned that economy does not call
for courage but demands common sense.
1t has proved to us that the man who
can devise a system of thrift is of
greater use than he who pens a patri-
otto epic
These were words used by Fred
Voiland, president of the Topeka Ro-
tary club, this noon in introducing
Henry J. Waters. president of the
State Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan President Waters spoke to Ro-
tarians at the Chamber OF Commerce
on Thrift" the essential quality in
American life since the European war
has been in progress.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
But just the Same DIR. ii. G. Suess Is
for the Kaiser Now.

Four years in the Civil war and
half century in the United States has
not quenched the love of Dr. H c.
Suess, of 1147 Grand, for der Water
land and his pro-German attitude
mas caused a near-riot- in his neigh
borhood. His emphatic declarations,
his admiration of the kaiser and all
the rest of the Hohenzollerns have
aroused the ire of patriotic neighbors
and they appealed to o. T. Wood,
United States marshal for Kansas.
They asked Wood to take some action
against Suess.
The investigation following the re-
quest for action shows that the mere
expression of sentiment is no crime:
that the laws of the United States are
Slngularly lax on this point that a
man may call the United States d
traitorouS nation on a street corner
and get away with it unless someone
takes it up and a fight ensues. Then
the police interfere
Doctor Suess is an aged man. He
believes in Germany and has told his
neighbOrS all about it.

mittee of the Associated Advertising
Clubs convention in st. Louis, June 8
to 7, announces that some Of the big.
gest men in the country win take part
in the convention in the discussion
Of the central thought: Advertising
lowers cost of distribution"
The convention program win be
built along lines that will refute the
idea that advertising adds to selling
costs. On the other hand, there will
be scores Of examples to show that
advertising really cheapens the price
Of product.
There are still some people" said
Mr.. Pratt, who believe that advertis-
ing adds to the cost of things, but
everyone acquainted with the facts
knows this is not true. We know that
advertising pays for itself and more
by saving other expenses which would
be greater IL advertising were not
used. At the st. Louis convention we
viii have facts and figures from some
of the biggest firms in the country to
show that advertising has not only
helped them, but the public, too" '

AS the great majority Of Venezue-

II such action is taken, it is expect
ed that the United States will alter its

WORK AGAINST CALF SCoURS
on Every Farm Measures Should Be,
Taken TO Prevent This Disease
Many Animals Lost.

Thousands Of calves are lost each
year by what is known as scOurs, says
II. II. Kildee University Of Minnesota.
On every farm measures should be
taken to guard against this disease
which results from a deranged diges-
tive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed in regular amounts, at
regular times, at a temperature of
about so degrees Fahrenheit, from
scrupulously clean pals, The foam
which accumulates on the milk while
1t is being separated should never be
fed. The time to feed the grain ration
is Immediately after the milk is fed, so
that the calves will not suck each 9TH
er's ears and thus take air into the
stomach, which causes bloat and pro-
duces scours. 1t is well to have stanchs
ions in one side Of the pen so that the
calves may be confined for a short
time after being fed milk.
Each day during the winter, when
the weather is favorable, the calves
need to be turned out into q sheltered
yard for exercise, which is necessary
for their proper growth and health.
It is also very important that the
calves, from very early age, be give
en- all the pure, fresh water they care
to drink each day. The pens should
be disinfected frequently. Quicklime
is excellent to sprinkle on the floor
each time 1t is cleaned and a frequent
spraying with some standard coal tar
dip solution will prove beneficial.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-04-27

seldom keep them longer than that. All
farmers that have purebred cows know
their ages, and find that the farm
ers in this vicinity that do not have
purebred cows know the ages Of their
animals approximately. I have kept
one or two cows until they showed
signs Of failing as producers Of milk.
This was indicated by the decrease in
the milk flow, but not in the shorten
ing of the period Of lactation. My way
of getting them ready for the butcher
is to let them go dry, and they will fat
ten If in good physical condition. /
think COW should be kept as long as
she gives good profit for the feed
consumed.
