Naco, Arizona, May 2S, 1917 The Coconino Sun,
 Flagstaff, Arizona. r. a-. Dear MT. Webb:
 Is the attached clipping worthy of "a place in The Sun?"
 All recruits from Coconino and Ap- ache counties who express prefer ence for Company l are assigned to that company. was sent to Go. l last Friday along with a number of other Flagstaff boys. am most pleased with the conditions in the en- tire regiment and especially in Go. l, the best in the regiment. Although l have known him but a few days, Cap tain Robison is prince in my opin- ion. ...
 Recruits are coming in slowly and at the present rate, this regiment will not be raised to war strength in six months. All the boys from Flag. arc feeling fine and I think most of us really enjoy the life. I know the out, side work is the best thing that could happen to many of us.
 With regards, Sincerely, EARL MINER.

terday that his home county had re- ported that all the registrar work in that county on June 5 would be done by volunteers, in fact, more compe- tent men volunteered than can be used. Patriotism meant more than $4 a day to Coconino residents.
 Other counties in Arizona may do as we'll when registration day arrives, but the northern county was the first to report that there would be no pay men working in that county on June 5th.-Republican.

INTERESTING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL SOCIAL WORLD
 By MRS FRANK M NOBLE
By MRS. FRANK N. NOBLE

While things have slowed down in the social whirl it is well to pause and analyze the situation.
 The war status is probably tie de- fense of social dullness but now the president and other noted advisors have suggested a continuance of the usual routine of life for the reason that a discontinuance might work hardship in many ways.
 A striking editorial along those lines appeared recently urging every body to proceed as usual and not to let the kaiser cheat you out of !, par ty, new dress or a pair of .hoes. If all should indulge in stres k of economy now-the result would be a tie-up and hundreds would suffer. Our patriotism surely is to be tried in new ways and manners which we had least thought.

LIBRARY NIGHT

The last Library Night under the auspices of the retiring Board, met with unbounded success both finan- cially and otherwisely. An unusually large matinee helped to swell the funds and with every seat taken for the night performance, the affair end ed in blaze of glory with forty-five dollars profit for the Board.
 So that not only our well wishes of last week but some seventy-five or more dollars go with the new Board for the next club year. We have ex- pressed our appreciation many times of Mir. Costigan's generous treatment but once more we refer to it, and say that in checking up the books of the Library Fund, they show during the twelve months past, our average for each month in picture shows alone has been over twenty-two dollars Again we thank all patrons who have made this showing possible.

THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE

It is reported that certain young men in Phoenix between the ages of Fl and 30, inclusive, without any use- ful occupation, have deserted the street corners and the poolrooms and have taken to the hills, where they expect to remain after the registra- tion on June for the selective draft. That is foolish. The registration it. self can hurt no one. 1t is the draft that may hurt; especially those whom the draft hits. But there is only one way to remain in the United States and escape becoming a target for the draft. That way is to get into the penitentiary, and that is where those young men will get if they try to es- cape the registration.

Real work along first aid lines last Thursday afternoon was demonstrat- ed by the large crowd in attendance at the tea for the soldier boys given by the ladies of the Federated church.
 The candy table in charge of Miss Sisson and Miss Doyle, proved a po- pular retreat while the very lovely tea table presided over by Mrs. Ship ley, attracted much attention with it's wealth of apple blossoms in artistic brown baskets. Due to unusual en- ergy on the part of the hostess an amount of thirty dollars was realized for the boys.

SELF-FEEDERS BEST
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Gains May Be Put on Animals
Rapidly and Economically,
Says Missouri Expert.

CBy L. A. WEAVER, Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has demonstrated the fact
that gains may be put on fattening hogs
rapidly and economically by the use
Of self-feeders.
Shoats weighing 121 pounds at the
beginning of G0-day feeding period
gained 1.79 pounds head daily, weigh
ing 22S.9 pounds at the close of the
feeding trial. During this time they
were supplied with corn. shorts, and
tankage. each OF these feeds being
placed in a separate self-feeder and the
shoats allowed to eat as much of each
as they wished. When so fed they
seemed to balance their ration about
as well as could be done by hand feed
ing. The proportion In which the feeds
were eaten are: Corn. 2066 pounds;
shorts, 3-93 pounds; and tankage, 1
pound. The average daily feed con-
sumed per hog was s.1S5 pounds. The
amount of feed required for each
pound of gain produced was 4.55
pounds.
With corn worth 65 cents a bushel,

century of the commercial growing

900 bushels to the acre has been pro-
duced. and how far below this figure
the present average yield has fallen.
was told to the State Potato Growers
Association here by Lou d. Sweet.
president of the Potato Association OF
America and president of the Colora-
do Potato Growers Association.
Mr.. Sweet urged selective breeding
OF seed potatoes and enrichment OF
the soil, with consequent capacity of
a given area to support more hills OF
potatoes, as remedies for the present
condition.
"On the great Dalmony farm of the
earl of Roseberry, near Edinburgh,
this record has been increased in re-
cent years to some 1000 bushels, the
largest ever recorded
In this country our farmers gen
orally have been sending their best
potatoes to market and keeping the
small ones and culls for seed, with the
natural result that their potatoes
rapidly have deteriorated until the av-
erage yield is only ninety-seven busn-
els an acre. while the quality is such
that the average consumption Is only
"a bushels per capita.

excessively. Too much bedding may
cause her to struggle when trying to

8. Don't confine the brood mare In a
stall that offers place for her head
or legs to get caught, and cause her
to struggle.

ing stall thoroughly few days before
the foal is expected, using seven table
spoonfuls of compound cresol solution

rian.

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice, points out
Ray Gatewood. instructor In animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
much experimenting has been done
along this line" said Mr.. Gatewood,
"and practically all experiment sta
tions have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
with most feeds, cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting In
larger amount of feed being required
gain. This raises the expense of pro-
duction and cuts down the producers
profits.
''Some feeds used In certain locali-
ties-such as potatoes. field peas, and
roots--have their palatability improved
and rheir water content lowered
by cooking. which results In a
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds In Kan
sas. Cooking requires special ap-
paratus and of course takes time and
labor, all adding to the expense of pro-
duction.
at may be profitable to heat drink
ing water and water In which feeds
are mixed In cold weather, as
this will decrease the amount of feed
required to maintain the body temper
ature."

DOG is TERMED A NUISANCE AND MENACE
Prom the United States Department of
Agriculture)

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
1t has been almost universally con-
ceded that the dog is friend to man,
but Bulletin 26o qualities that state
ment somewhat. According to the pub
hcation the dog is true friend to
man only when properly controlled and
cared for.
For ut least half century scien-
lists have been insisting that the dog
is responsible to quite an extent for
the spread of many parasites and dis
eases to which stock and even man
are susceptible. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that dogs are subject
to rabies or hydrophobia and that
they In turn may transmit 1t to other
animals and to persons. Some of the
other diseases and parasites they may
transmit are hydatid. which occurs
