THE DAY
BY JULIET WILBOR TOMPKINs
of the ViqIantes,


1t will come some day-do you rea.
lie it? On some one glorious day the
enemy will cry, "Kameradl" in good
earnest, and there will be peace.
Picture that day. The crowds in the
streets are going about their business,
the Red Cross rooms are humming
with work, the thousand war activities
are grinding at full speed, every moth
er and father is facing the morning
with heart braced for loss, every
loyal citizen is at his post of service |;
and suddenly the newsl
The crowded avenues turn white
all up and down their length they have
blossomed white with the open news
papers that have magically sprung in
to every ones outstretched hands.
Everybody in the long, stopped stream
of humanity holds a newspaper or
reads his neighbor's; everybody knows
everybody, shares with everybody;
strange hands clasp, strange eyes,
meeting, overflow; and there is just
one first thought, not triumph, nor
democracy, but -"Those boys-those
good boys-they can come home 70
And the second thought will be, We've
done it! We've put it through
And then, standing there, they begin
to sing, the men with barred heads
they send up such song as the skies
have never heard since time was
"Glory, glory, hallelujah !"-"Praise
God, from whom all blessings fowl"
The melting pot is a slow process
that song will melt all into blood
brothers at the first chord. Oh, how
they will sing, those standing men and
And then with one impulse
they will surge into the churches, into
the cathedrals-for when man has
been granted the supreme boon, he |
must fall on his knees, whether he |
knows God or not. And no one who |
rises up from that silence will ever
lose its mighty vibration.
That day is not a vision; 1t is COM
ing as surely as tomorrow. Then will |
you have it tomorrow? Or will you
put it off for four more bleeding years?
It is in your hands. Every effort,
every dollar, you give to service, short
ems the waiting. If all gave all they
,ould, the day could not hold back an
,ther hour. When you buy the things
you most want, you are not conscious
# sacrifice in paying the sum de-
handed. Fix your eyes on the day
he day when the avenues will sudden
y blossom white with the news of
'eace-and you will want that with so
turning an urgency that you will come
unning with its price.

SLAUGHTER OF DAIRY CATTLE
Because 81 Lack Of Feed In Europe
Many Animals Have Been Killed
Milk supply Decreased.

| prepared by the United States Depart
| ment OF Agriculture.)
| Although dairy cattle are economical
users Of feedstuffs and although they
| will convert coarse, inedible material
Into a human food, still they must
| have some grain for maximum produc-
ton. When animals convert feeds,
such as grain, that can be used direct
by human beings, they usually do SO
at loss of human food. In times of
extreme food shortage, therefore, anil
mails are killed for human food and
the grain used directly. In some Of
the continental countries this policy
has been followed because of the lack
of feeds and the need Of meat. Most
of the dairy countries Of Europe have
depended upon imports for a large
part of the grains or concentrates for
dairy cattle. This supply has been
largely cut of, with the result that in
some countries there has been tend
ency to decrease the number of ami
mails. Because of these facts, millions
of dairy cattle have been slaughtered
In Europe since the war began. The
lack of milk that has resulted has en-
tailed great suffering In some sec
tons, especially among children. 1t
is important, therefore, that such a
situation be prevented in this country
so far as possible. If, by economical
feeding and the utilization of feeds
that are not necessary for humans,
the dairymen of the country could con-
serve their herds until after the war,
they would render great service to |
With the great number Of |
animals killed in Europe and the in |
crease in the rate Of slaughter as the |
war continues, the food shortage be- |
comes more serious. When the strug-
gle is over it will be impossible to meet |
at once the demand for milk in the
where the greatest number /
Of cattle have been killed.
Efforts will be made. of course, to
Increase the number of dairy cattle,
but this requires time-several years,
in fact. The supply of grain, on the
other hand, can be increased more rap
dly, but there will probably be de-
nand upon us for products from the
larry, as well as for foundations for
herds, provided we keep our supply Of
good animals. This should be consid-
cred another reason for increasing, or
1t least maintaining. the herds of dairy
,attle In this country.

HATS OFF TO THIS MOTHER!
BY HERMANN HAGEDORN
of the ViqiIantes.

Regimental Sergt. Maj. William b
Jenkins, Three Hundred and Fourth
field artillery, is dead at Camp Upton
but his soul is marching on. 1t is a
question indeed whether in death he
may not do more to defeat the Ger
mans than he could ever have done in
life. For his death has brought from
his mother an utterance of stirring
patriotism that is sure to rouse to
greater effort the defenders of America
abroad and at home.
Sergeant Major Jenkins came from
Holiday, Tenn, and it is from there
that his mother, Mrs. M. e. jenkins,
writes as follows to Maj. J. D. Whit
man:
ALLOW me as one who has lived I'M
til am now an old woman to express
to you my thanks and appreciation for
your many courtesies to me as mother
of Sergt. Maj William b. jenkins. l
had hoped my boy would get his
chance In France, but 1t was not to be,
so am as submissive to his death as
II he had died In the trenches in Eu-
rope. Please accept my thanks for
all your kindness and to any Of his
that were with him in his
sickness. With sad heart dictate
these lines, but with Quickening pulse
md an accelerated being look for
ward to the day when victory shall
,ome to the brave boys who are giving
heir lives for our beloved land.
hail ever love soldier boy. May
jod's blessing b. on you"

Holstein cattle are of black and
white color. They are docile and even
tempered, not good "rustlers," and de
best when plenty of feed is available.
Holstein cows average about 1850
pounds and bulls 1900 pounds In
weight The average of milk produc-
ton is high, but the percentage of but
terfat is comparatively low.
Among Holsteins, 1900 cows that
had completed yearly record for ad-
vanced registry averaged 14,622.7
pounds of milk, testing 3.424 per cent
butterfat, amounting to 500.7 pounds
of fat. The ten highest producers Of

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never In the history Of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month Of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, and
every acre that could be 'prof1tably
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation, and as a
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized 1t was
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
IN dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the LIST of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture In the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been so heavy, however, as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades of the cereal are already show
ing.
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr.
j. D. McGregor of the Federal Food
Board, who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop |
conditions throughout the Prairie |
Provinces were excellent. speaking |
he said, "the crops have |
never gone into the ground in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break of luck as far as the wealth
er is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
with the Food Control
Board, taking him in all parts of the
West, Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
of observing conditions /!
