STUDENTS MAY ENLIST IN
U. S. ARMY AND STILL
ATTEND STATE UNIVERSITY

Instructions from Adjutant Gener-
aPs Office to Captain Felker, Com
mandant of the University Cadet Bat
talon, contains the following of in
terest to students who are planning
to attend the State University the
coming year:
All able bodied students in the col
leges in which training units are or
ganized (this includes the University
of Idaho) will be encouraged to en-
list if over the legal enlistment age
of eighteen. The enlistment contract
Of all students will constitute them
members of the army of the United
States, and they will become thereby
subject to active service at the call
of the President. The enlisted stud
ent will be on furlough status until
called to the colors and will receive
uniforms but no pay or allowances
except when attending summer camp,
in which case they will be entitled to
transportation and rations.
It will be the policy of the Gov
eminent not to call members of the
Students Army Training Corps Units
to active duty until they have reached
draft age.
Students will be permitted, if called,
to continue their courses in the Uni
versity until June thirtieth of the
year upon which they have entered
Uniforms and all equipment will
be supplied by the Government to
students who take advantage of the
above plan.

in these pens were identical each
year, except that SKINNED milk was
added as drink for the four months
recorded in 1918. These pens were

FEED SURPLUS MILK
TO LAYING HENS
Hens Will Return Greater Profit
From Skim Milk Than Any
Other Animal

Recent feeding experiments con-
, Quoted by the Department Of Poultry
Husbandry Of the University Of Idaho
show that some animal protein such
as skim milk is necessary for the
greatest production of eggs in the
laying hen.
On November first, 1915, project
was started for. the purpose Of de-
termining the relative value of animal
and vegetable proteins. Pea and Oil
Meal was used to make up the ad-
ditional protein necessary for the
narrowing of the vegetable protein
ration and beef scrap for the animal
protein ration. For the first two
years the best animal protein ration
pen averaged to produce about So per
cent more eggs than the best vege-
table protein ration pen, and the
size and weight of eggs was CORES
pondingly greater.
During February Of this, the third

protein fowls ran so low in condition
that it appeared necessary that some
thing be done to save the fowls. The
Department was able to secure skim
med milk and buttermDk and on
March first, milk was added to the
ration of these vegetable protein
pens. 1t was fed in the place Of
water, and they received absolutely
10 other drink than milk through the
months Of March, April, and May.

and it is believed that he will have
much to do with the development of
the swine industry in Idaho.
There is surely much room for de-

AS to length of life, weeds may bt
divided into three sses:-annuals
those living and producing then
seeds in one year; biennials, those
living and producing their seeds the
second year. The first year being
spent in making vegetative growth;
perennials, those living indefinitely
and producing seeds each year.
ANIMALS and biennials such as pig
weed, prickley lettuce, chess, shep-
herds purse and tumble weed propo-
gate themselves by seeds alone These
weeds then can be kept under con-
troll by preventing the plants from
maturing seed and by the prevention
Of the seeds of these plants from
being introduced thru farm seeds.
Perennials, such as bindweed, Can
ada thistle, and quack grass are re-
produced by both seeds and root
stalks and require special methods for
control. Such weeds, besides being
kept from going to seed and being
introduced to the farm, must be pre-
vented from making any top growth
whatsoever. If the leaves are al
lowed to form and grow, food is
manufactured by the plant and stored
in the underground roots and used the
next season for the growth of the
plant. This growth of leaves must
be kept down by persistent cultiva-
ton and by the use of special
methods. ".
Not only should the weeds found
in the various crops about the farm
be controlled, but fence corners and
roadsides should be kept free from
these pests. Waste places of all kinds
harbor weeds unless special care is
taken to control them. Roadsides
should be moved off to prevent weeds |!
rom maturing seed, and fence cor
1ers should be kept free from them.
On the other hand weed control is
lot of any great value unless crop
seeds free from weeds are used in
planting. This is one TO the greatest
sources of weeds and it should be the
irst place to begin weed eradication.
The careful buying of forage crop
eeds and the use Of the tanning mill
n case of the small grains will help
olive this phase of the weed problem.

MILL STARTED IN
QUAKER VALLEY
w. w. Wakeman and Associates
Will Develop a Rich Lease
Northeast of Baxter
Springs

The Quaker Valley Mining company
started this morning on the erection
Of 150-ton mill on the Carter land
in Quaker Valley, six miles northeast
Of Baxter Springs. Hoskins Broth
ers have the mill contract. The lease
covers 40 acres which have been thor
Oughly drilled showing a mill site Of
remarkably rich ore. The drill logs
show a face Of Is to 20 feet Of blue
jack assaying from Z to 20 per cent.
The average depth at which the ore
was struck Is 81 feet. The company
is made up of W. W. Wakeman Of
Baxter Springs, Mayor Joe Lightner,
G. M. Wakeman and W. S. Sanders, Of
Odessa, Mo-, DR.. ]. W. Mackey Of
Kansas City and Adam Scott Of Jop-
lin.
The discovery Of this rich run Of ore
is of the utmost Importance to Bax-
ter Springs, since 1t verifes the be-
lief of many experts that the rich run
of ore that underlies the Hockerville
ard Thomas and Ebenstein vicinities,
continues right through to the Quaker
Valley, passing practically through
the northwest edge of the Baxter
City limits. Shafts already sunk and
exploration work done has proven be-
yond a doubt that this run Of ore is
as rich and perhaps even richer than
anything yet found in the Picher-
Tar River field. It also proves that
Baxter is practically surrounded with
rich ore deposits, since the existence
of such on the south and west has al
ready been proven beyond doubt. 1t
appears that Baxter Springs is To-
Gated on q site chosen by nature to
be the center of q vast industrial &C.
tivity, since the Baxter townsite is as
far as known not located over any
large runs of ore such as would war
rant mining, and is not liable to be
disturbed and ruined as home and
business site by the mining opera
tons, yet with the mines coming up
to her very doors. Viewed from ev-
cry angle Baxter is logically the place
for the center of the rich Oklahoma
Kansas lead and zinc ore field.

SHEPHERD OUT
Of JAIL AGAIN
Published of ''The ROunder" Is
Out on Bail But Will Not
Start Paper Again At
Present

L. C. Hooker and A. ]. Abrams are
among the bondsmen who procured
liberty for ]. ]. Shepherd, former
publisher of "The Rounder." Shepherd
will not publish his paper for time,
at least. The following is a Miami
account:
Bond of $4,000 was furnished
ate Wednesday afternoon for j. j.
Shepherd, publisher of The Rounder,
who has been in Jail on charges Of
criminal libel and carrying concealed
weapons. Shepherd was released
after Sheriff Ed Freeman had ap-
proved the bond, and went to his
home at Tar River.
"The bondsmen who obtained Shep-
herds release were Giles Overton,
]. A. Stafford, John Newton, L. C..
Hooker, A. j. Abrams, J. D. Palmer,
]. H. Parkinson and C. M. Mercy
nolds.
Although at liberty Shepherd will
not be permitted to resume publica-
ton of The Rounder as a writ Of
injunction issued by County Judge
n. C. Barry several weeks ago sup
pressing the paper, is still in force.
The provisions of the injunction
are broad and provide for the sup
preston, not only of The Rounder,
but of "all similar publications"
Charges that county officers had
protected vice and gambling in the
mining towns Of the county were
made by Sherpherd in his paper and
resulted in a general probe Of con-
ditions in the county by Attorney
General S. P. Freezing.
AT the close of an inquiry here
during which the editor was ques-
toned at length the attorney general
declared Shepherds allegations were
unfounded. He intimated, however,
that independent Investigations made
by agents of his office would probably
result in charges of neglect Of duty"
being brought against zone or two
subordinate county officials"
"The attorney general has been in
st. Paul, MIMI, for the last two
weeks looking after railroad rate
cases, in which the state is inter
ested, and no charges have been
filed by him as q result Of the vice
probe. Persons in close touch with
the situation said Thursday they
had reason to believe that Mr.. Free
ling had decided not to carry out his
intention of filing charges against
county officers.
AT the close of the recent investi-
CATION the attorney general announc-
ed there were no open vice or gam
bling resorts in Ottawa county and
added, 81 will see to it that no resorts
are opened. If necessary / will keep
an agent of my Office in the county
permanently"
1.-THE attorney general while here
was spurred on in his action against
vice resorts by a special represent
alive of the war department who
demanded that the county be "clean-
ed up" in order to protect soldiers on
furlough and men of draft age from
contracting social diseases"
