POTATO SILAGE BEING TRIED
First Reports of Experiments Made by
Agricultural Department Are
Not Pleasing.

The United States department OF
agriculture has been experimenting
with potato silage. First reports lndi-
cate that such silage will not be very
practical. or course only the small.
uhmarketable potatoes are used. but
they must be ground and mixed with
n special Tactic acid culture, which
brings about the proper fermentation.
Potato silage made In this way seems
to be good feed for either hogs or cat

What does your family do when You take

The knowledge that you deprive your
family when you use the car has probably
been on your mind good deal
But you know you can't afford two cars.
At least that's the way you argue. But
you re wrong. You CAN have two cars
for the price of the one big gas car you now
own.
For instance you get an Electric Then
you select good, small gas touring car at

The small gas car viii serve you economi-

One of the distressing things in connection with the conservation which the people of this country have been praeticing in response to the earn est and well directed appeals is the frequency with which the statement is
 made that fcodstuffs, such as yege- tables and other Derishabic goods, are allowed to stand on sidetraeks for o.ls reason or another until they have spoiled and it becomes necessary to throw them away. Such represents an absclHte waste and if is within the bounds of reason that this very loss has been Intentionally brought about for the purpose of affecting prices, and especially so when such goods are possessed in sufficient quantity so

AFTER THE YEARS

Home for Christmas! Tall broad of shoulder, with a quick swinging stride from which Is years in languorous southern cIime had not taken the spring, Jack Douglass made his way through the busy, bustling Christmas crowds, until suddenly the sight of windows crowded with toys brought thoughts of his sister Molly and her youngsters. Entering one of the large stores, he purchased 1avisllly of the toys there displayed, and having di- rected that they should be forwarded to the little country station the next day, he once more resumed his jour ney to catch the train that would car " him on the last stage of his long trip home.
 As he swung aboard it seemed as if the years dropped away and he was once again the boy of 20 with his col- iege chuns on the way home fer Christmas. Fate had treated him kindly; he was cor1ing home. Now success was his and his thoughts went back to the many timss he had plan ! ned to come home in the years that had slipped away; but matters of i'm l Dortance, somehow. always arose. Fifteen years under a tropical sun 1 in an alien land, had tanned bis fea- tures but failed to dim the keen eye 1 CT retard the firm. vigorous step. 1 The train sped swiftly on and ur
 among the hills until the little coun- l try station was reached. Hardly i waiting for the engine to come to 2 1 stop, he jumped upon the platform nd 1 could almost see old Jerry waiting with the big sleigh as he used to wal l to carry the boys home. What a jolly 1 happy Homecoming that was! Hou | they used to laugh and froiic going ul l the road and through the woods. Thel 1 Dick Sheldon would commence in hi ] rich, deep baritone to sing the olt 1 songs, and they would all join in t i let the old folks know they were com ] ing.
 But no Jerry was there to meet hin 1 TOW and there was quite q difference
 in the homecoming, he unused to him self for during the intervening year father and mother had passed ava!
 boyhood friends> had scattered, an
 TOW Molly was the only one left i
 the old home.
 He had planned his coming as
 surprise, and r it would not be tn
 jolly, merry Christmas of the dea,
 old long ago, still it would be a happ. 1 peaceful one with his only sister an her children.
 AS he walked quickly up the roa !: he came to inc Sheldon home Ii paused for a me-nent for the boy
 always stopped here he remembere,
 as little Roberta-"Bo5bie" he alway called her-used to Wait at the gal to welcome them.
 He used to finger after the othel to swing her on the gate and the would have to run on to catch up vii , tic others, who had saughingly gor on ahead. Robbie must be quite your lady now he thought to himself ; f he resumed his walk. He looked bat f once and eoald almost see her wa f as the bend in the road brought hi ! in sight of his own home.
 $ He paused a moment. for a stran, s sight met his eyes. The gate was ei I tifely gone, a shutter was hanging one hinge and there were sever l 1 bricks missing from the big chime
