breeds. and this claim she holds
rightfully as she has proven herself
IN all large competitions with other
breeds. that is, sho is the most eco
nomiCal producer in every respect.
She Is not alone the rich mans pet,
but she IS fulfilling her mission, the

has often been stated and iS the prcva-
lent idea among dairymcn that tho
Jersey COW Is n small producer but
That her milk is very rich In butter

at largo claim they prefer the "hlack

quantity of milk. There are twenty
cows In the Braden herd today that
are producing so gallons of milk
per day That is four gallon aver
age per cow and among these twenty
arc six two-ycar-uld hcifcrs. Any
breeder Of any other breed in the
state Is challenged in open Competi-

the demand for Jersey cows by the

We are not knocking the other

Believed American Division Will Take
Over Part of Line Now Held
by Belgians.

eral Pershing was relieved of his COM

the movement of the expeditionary
force to the point or points of en-
barkation and for the assemblage of
the transports that will move the ex-
pedition.
Secretary Daniels announced that
regiment of United States marines,
1900 strong, under command Of Col.

for Food Control Body.

Washington, May 21.-After a con-
ference on Friday between Herbert c..
Hoover and special committee of
the council of grain exchanges and a

change the following statement was
issued on behalf of the committees:
"The conclusion was reached by the
representatives of the grain trade that
the abnormal conditions existing today
as regards the necessity for conserva-
ton of the food supply of this country
called for the creation of a food adj
ministration clothed with the neces-
Sary powers to work out the unusual
problem resulting from the world war
and that the existence of such food
administration should be limited to
the duration of the war.
1.-The representatives of the grain
trade are convinced that with elimina-
ton of waste and proper conservation
I'm this country an ample supply of
grain will be available for domestic
consumption as well as to provide for
the requirements of our allies. and
that the problem therefore is one OF

KAISER BLOCKS PEACE TERMS
On Hindenburg's Advice Ruler Turns
Dow1 Chanceilor's Pro-
posal.

The Hag1e, May 19.--The kaiser
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
were responsible for the refusal of
the German chancellor to announce
peace terms in the reichstag this week,
according to advices received here
from Berlin.
It was reported in these dispatches
that the chancellor, Doctor Won Beth
mann-HollVeg, had gone SO far as to
draw up peace offer, suitable to both
Germany and Austria-Hungary, but
when he took it to German Great
Headquarters for the affirmation of
the kaiser it was rejected at a mill
tary council.
There is a growing belief in some
circles in Germany that the confer
ences going on between the German
chancellor and Count Czernin, the for
eign minister of Austria, may lead to
a peace proposition in the reichstag
when it reconVenes in July.

MAKES FLAG OUT OF METAL
iowa Man Designs One Which Is De4
cIared Satisfactory Substitutes
for Silk or Bunting.

Because flags of silk or bunting, mo-
matter how good the material, wiial
eventually become faded and torn in
spite Of the best care, a resident OF
Boone, Ia, has designed metal flag
which has proved very satisfactory
substitute. 1t is not angular and in-I
artistic as might be supposed, for the
hollow tubing, special wire Cloths
brass, tin ard copper of which it is
made are combined so skillfully that
at a little distance it looks exactly
like a cloth flag unfurled by mod
crate breeze. The wire cloth is usedi
in such way that it allows the windl
to pass through it, thereby reducing
the wind pressure. In spite Of the
materials used, it is comparatively
light. An American flag of this sort
flies from the top of tall bank builds
ing in Boone, and it has been found
to possess many advantages over 81
cloth emblem. It needs to be taken
down but once in two or three years.
to receive fresh coat of paint and rel
mains gracefully unfurled even when
there is no wind. |

Much Food in Small Bulk.

The British Tommy" when fresh
bread is not available, is supplied with

like just that, being a thick cracker
four inches square and weighing

pressed solid, it might be described as

The French have "war bread"
Somewhat similar, which, when put
into hot water or soup, sWells up like
a sponge.
The famous German ''pea sausage"
is composed of pea meal, bacon and
fat. It was the invention of a Ber-
lin cook, who discovered process
whereby pea meal could be made
proof against deterioration. One
sausage, eight inches long, yields
