Why People Have Not Rushed to Enlist

| Perhaps you have been quietly wonder

on the recruiting offices, why enlistment
has been so slow. In the September

man who expressed wonder that our PEG.
pie should be so 'apathetic' toward this
war He contrasted the slow, quiet en-.
listment that has been taking place this
summer with the enthusiastic rush to the
colors in 81 and in 9S. If he had lived
out here in Indiana instead of in New
of the people as l am, with my small
town daily, he would not have written
that article. Our folks are not apathet-
ic they are dead in earnest But the
difference between to-day and 81 is that
the boys of 81 enlisted for three
months holiday, to do the rebels up and
be home in time for Thanksgiving dinner
with the folks. Our people have had two
years of the most thoroughgoinr CORE
spondence course in the horrors of war
that the world has ever known. There's
no glamour in the business for us. We
know that war is a matter of wet
trenches, and death. and horrible sufer

Courage and Cruelty,

1t is one Of the mean and morbid lies
that physical courage is connected with
cruelty. Tolstoyan and Kiplingite are
nowhere more at one than In maintain
ing this. They have, believe, some
small sectarian quarrel with each
other, the small one saying that cour-
age must be abandoned because 1t is
connected with cruelty and the other
maintaining that cruelty is charming
because 1t is part of courage But it
is all, thank God, lie. An energy and
holiness Of body may make a man
stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or
hungry. but IL does not make him
spfteful.-Gilbert K. Chesterton.

FATTENING PIGS
Finish Them With the Self Feeder and
Save Grain.

There is no advantage in skimpine
the pig when it comes time TO fatter
him, the United States department OF
agriculture points out. During the
growing period of his life, pastures with
little grain were in order, for scale and
constitution were the main objects Ia
be obtained. The last few weeks before
butchering the idea is to lay on a good
covering of fat, to increase the proper
tion of high-priced lard. and to add ten
derness and palatability to the meat.
fat hog sells to much better advan-
tsge on the market for these very rea
sons.
To add this fat rapidly and most eco.
nomically, we must feed an abundance
of grain. The self-feeder is simply a
device to keep before the pigs constant
supply of feed, in order that they NAV
eat of such feeds in such quantities as
they desire.
A brief resume of results obtained BY
experiments with over 279 hogs, part of
them settled and the balance hand fed
in the best possible manner, shows:
First, that in comparison with the
grain 10 per cent more rapidly.
Second, that they gained weight 2s
per cent more rapidly
And last, that they consum Il only
% per cent as much grain in gaining
100 pounds
This shows three very definite advan-
tsges in the use of the self feeder. Pigs
fed in this manner will eat more grain |
per day than under any other method 1
Of feeding. This maximum consumption |
IS not wasteful of grain; in fact it
saves grain, for an increase of 10 per 1
,ent in the rate of eating caused an in
,rease of 2s per cent in the rate Of gain
nc. The object in feeding is TO put on
at as rapidly and with as little grain
Is possible. A method which will in
rease the rate Of gaining p per cent
md at the same time decrease BY s per
ent the grain required 10 produce a
init is certainly worthy of considera-
ion.

DAIRYING CAMPAIGN
Dairy Division to Use Emergency Funds
to Increase and Improve Out
put of Dairy Products.

A campaign to have every drop of milk
produced in the United States make the
fullest possible contribution to the food
supply of the country will be launched
Immediately by the dairy division OF the
United States department of agriculture
This campaign will be carried on with
funds made available by the food pro-
duction bill recently enacted by Congress.
At present much skim milk and large
quantities of other dairy and creamery
by-products are fed TO farm animals
when, according to dairy specialists, a
considerable portion of this might once
more advantageously be made directly
into food for human consumption. Dairy
products constitute cheap forms of food.
Whole milk, skim milk and cottage and
other cheeses are high in protein and are
useful substitutes for meats.
In work for fuller utilization of milk
in factories, the dairy division will de-
vote special attention to cottage cheese
manufacture. Creamery and milk plant
operators will be taught cottage cheese
making by a corps of specialists of the
division, milk producers will be encour-
aged to send as much whole milk as
possible to the ereameries, and efforts
will be made to increase the general con-
sumption of cottage cheese by the pub
lie
Other specialists Of the division will
aid the state extension workers in con-
Quoting campaigns for the improvement
and increased manufacture of farm made
cottage and cream cheese. These spe-
cialists also will conduct demonstrations
before groups of farm men and women

FOOD PRESERVED BY OUT
DOOR STORAGE CELLARS

Outdoor storage cellars or caves
are excellent for the storage of
many late vegetables Vegetables
can be more conveniently placed
in such a cellar than in the stor-
age room in the basement of
dwelling.
The proper type and construc-
tion of such cellars vary with the
geographical location. In the
southern portion of the country
the structure is usually entirely
above ground and protected by
only a few inches of sod and with
straw, leaves, etc. In northern sec
tions, outdoor cellars are made al
most entirely below the ground
and covered with sufficient earth
supplemented by straw, manure,
ETC., to prevent freezing.

Police THANKED
FOR SUPPORT in
LAST ELECTION

Mayor Joseph J. Fern and Sheriff
Charles H. Rose thanked the members
of the city police force for their sup
port in the last election, and appealed
TO them for efficient cooperation in
enforcing the laws, in short speeches
delivered prior to police inspection
yesterday morning. The entire force
assembled in the district court room
prior to parading before a motion
picture man and there the two OF
ficials spoke to them.
Followed by the mayor and the
deputy sheriff, Sheriff Rose walked
into the court room when the police
had come to attention. They saluted
as he passed and stood at attention
as they were addressed.
In thanking his men for the support
in the election, Sheriff Rose supple
mented his remarks by stating that
it was not true that the men had been
organized into an eleCtioneering force
and that at no time had he ever
spoken to any individual concerning
the matter. He mentioned the
criticism of the press" stating that
criticism of himself and the depart
ment reflected alike upon the officers
and the men. He concluded with an
appeal for subordination of all per-
sonal feelings to the interests OF the
department and efficiency in enforcing
the laws.
Mayor Fern likewise thanked the
police force for its support in the last
election, stating that while he was
mayor he would aid the force by doing
all in his power to get them an in
crease in wages and improved equip
ment.
Following the assembly in the court
room the police went to Queen street
where they lined up and marched for
the benefit of a moving picture man
The operator will use the pictures in a
moving picture travelogue of a trip
around the world which he is now
making.
