TIE SCHOOL BOND ISSUE.

The announcement was made al
the Commercial Club meeting the
other night, that if the bonds fail OF
approval at the school election to be
held on Monday, October Is, the en-
tire $4,000 necessaryllto complete
the high school building. could be as
sessed up and collected in one year
This would surely be jolt to the
taxpayers of Oskalosa, and no such
condition should be permitted to
arise. The school board and the
Commercial club have gone over the
situation carefully, and the addi'
tional $4,000 is absolutely neces'
sary to complete and equip the
building now in process of erection
This money should be voted in a reg
ular bond issue at the regular cleo
ton.
1t is difficult to understand why
there should be opposition to the new
bond issue. The money thus far
spent has been used to good advan
tage, and the additional amount has
in the main, been made necessary by
the increased cost of everything en-
tering into the structure.
Spread out as it will be over a term
of years, the additional tax necessary
to pay off the bonds would be hardly
noticeable to the average citizen. Be
sides there is no other way out.

THE LowLY- SKIM MILK

Although skim milk is recognized as
having great value in feeding animals,
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture points out that its value as
human food should be kept in mind.
BY substituting grain. green feed, but
termilk, and whey in animal feeding,
much skim milk may be left for hui
man use as beverage, in cooking,
condensing, or for making cottage
cheese. Only the surplus of this val
liable human food should be fed to
stock. 81 sE
While skim milk is good for stock,
the fact remains that its highest eff.
cheney can not be had through turning
IT, into meat. Skim milk is used
most economically in animal produc
ton when fed to hogs, yet it takes 20
pounds when fed alone TO produce one
pound of pork. The same quantity
will make pounds of cottage cheese.
In addition, cottage cheese contains
IL times as much protein and one-third
as much energy as pork, so that the
skim milk in the cheese form gives
quite as much energy and A times as
much protein as 1t would if converted
into ham or bacon.
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them
is worth not more than l cent a pound.
Yet / cent pound or approximately
/ cent pint, is very cheap for any
human food, and particularly for a
food so high in nutritive value as skim

FARMERS AND BONDS.

President Wilson, in a recent adj
dress to the people of the United
States, said:
Upon the farmers of this coun-
try, in large measure, rests
the fate of the war and the fate
IF the nations"
In every crisis it is the farmer that
ile people of this country have
turned TO for help because the farm
ers have never failed them. The
opportunity to serve his country has
come again. The second issue of
the Liberty Loan for $3,000,OO0,0O0 is
being floated and Washington looks
to the farmer to do his snare, to buy
freely.
Marshall Forrest of Chicago, who
is booming the sale of these bonds in
the country districts of Illinois, calls
attention to the increased production
of grain in the state, especially oats.
Throughout the entire seventh federal
reserve district this crop has been
above the average, to say nothing of
the increased price received for it.
The farmers have the money; their
crops are g2rnered; their profits
should be invested in these Liberty
bonds. In such crisis as we are
now passing through, for every dol,
lar put into a Liberty bond is an
effective blow struck at autocracy as
represented by the enemy of the
United States. Besides the invest.
ment is the safest possible under the

due to the fact that the contractors

estimate of the meetings held under

counts includes the regular church
meetings. More than 5000 pastors
have made one or more addresses on
the question, the total aggregating a
