AT THE ARCADE SOON.

Annette Kellermann is the fore
most artist of her type in all the
world. Her personal story is almost
as remarkable as the one she depicts
for you. This justly-famed woman,
whose aquatic feats have given her
worldwide reputation and whose
figure is regarded as the standard Of
feminine physical perfection, was
born in Australia AS a one-day old
infant her body was placed in tin
quart measure and there was room
to spare. She was weakling child
and all through her earlier years she
was obliged to wear metal leg braces.
Swimming and athletics made her the
most perfect living specimen of her
sex.
Miss Kellermann was the first wo-
man in the world to establish long
distance swimming records, almost
all of which have never been equaled.
In the world of the theatre she is uni
formly a favorite with millions of
people, who have seen her either in
important musical productions or in
American vaudeville.
William Fox, the producer of ga
Daughter of the Gods" wishes to pay
tribute to his splendid star. She is a
woman of vast courage and great re-
sources. She is brave, patient, gra'
cious and charming; woman of ever
increasing popularity and every bit Of
which reward she richly deserves.

Mayor Shannon has been requested
to introduce Miss Gordon, but he has
stated that on account of possible
business engagements he lis unable to

Faces To The Front

On recent visit to Texas stopped
at Marshall on my way to College
Station to rest on Sunday, July 21
with friend who is the pastor of the
First Baptist Church there. l was
not altogether surprised when he in
sisted that | should say something to
his congregation at the morning serv
ice, but l was surprised to have an
urgent call from a camp meeting,
eighteen miles away, to speak there
in the afternoon, and l was very re-
luctant to 60, because l was tired,
but | could not refuse a call from
a group of farmers in my own state.
| asked the messenger who brought
the invitation whether it would be
proper for ME to say anything regard
ing the agricultural problem, and he
assured me that the people regarded
the agricultural program as part
of the war program, and that would
be at full liberty to speak about it as
| might see tit.
1 reached the meeting just as the
congregation had arisen for prayer.
The minister prayed with great fervor
in the usual way Of evangelical petit
ton and the congregation responded
with fervent amens coming from
every quarter of the tabernacle.
There had been several conversions
at the morning service and the air
was electric with spiritual rapture.
After the usual plea for the continu-
ing presence of the Holy Spirit, the
minister prayed for our army and the
congregation continued with earnest
amens. He asked for victory to our
arms and for our righteous cause,
and he asked that our boys might re-
turn whole in body anc mind and
soul. The amens came in great
volume of heart-swelling emotion as
the mothers and fathers thought of
their sons. Then the minister dropped
his voice and said with humility, but
with adamant resolution: But, Oh
Lord, if they must fall, let them fall
with their faces to the front" There
was a moment Of silence in the con-
gregation, and then there came in a
deep chorus, with sob, "Amen."
When mothers and fathers in re-
mote districts, away from the sound
Of the fife and drum and the sight of
warsbips, airplanes and marching pa
rades, can say amen to the courage
Gus death of their sons, we need have
no fear that the plain people Of the
United States will fail in the resolu-
tion to sustain our cause to the ut
most.

BRING IN MUCH CORN
State Buys 10000 Bushels to Helr
Relieve Seed Corn Shortage
in Michigan.

East Lansing, Observation-Disclosures
shortage of 100000 bushels of seed
corn-a shortage found to exist by
field men of the college in almost
every part of the state-is being par
TALLY relieved by the importation OF
100000 bushels from New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and South Da-
kOta. The purchase of this corn.
which has been inspected and tested
and bought under guarantee, was ar
ranged by the governors seed corn
committee. and it will be disposed OF
at cost ($5 busheD.
Now that much of the corn has ar
rived the problem of how best to dis
tribute ii Is one that is bOthering the
committee, for the likelihood is that
the supply will be unequal To the de-
mand. AS far as possible, however, the
corn will be shipped into counties
where the shortage is most severe. and
will be distributed there to farmers on
the basis of acreage, adaptability and
need.
Farmers who have been unable to
secure seed corn are urged to get in
touch with county agricultural agents
in their district to learn where a sup
ply of this corn can be obtained.

portioned ration Is also necessary Tor
maximum production. An underfed
soldier makes a poor fighting man
an underfed dairy COW poor produc-
er. 1t may be necessary for the dairy
man to feed rations composed quite
largely of good roughage, supplement-
ed by reasonable amounts of by-prod-
uct feeds, in the future, consequently
every dairyman should plan to produce
n good supply of these rough feeds for
the coming winter.
The Michigan farmer should not
permit himself to be tempted into
changing his system of farming TOO
radically. To maintain the fertility of
his soil, to conserve the proper bal
unce in labor, To insure against an
overproduction of perishable products
and to make good use of the rough
feed which must of necessity be pro-
duced on every farm, ii continues to
be better and much safer To follow
the old program on every farm where
this program has been found to be
practical and successful, and TO work
this old program just little harder,
rather than to take up Il new one.
The old slogan, Breed, Feed and
Test" have never been more appropri-
ate than under present conditions.

SHORTAGE OF SEED COMING
Advices Received by NJ. A. C. Indicate
Gardeners Should Prepare to Be-
come Own Seed Growers.

East Lansing. Mich.-Where posi-
BILE this season Michigan gardeners
should prepare to grow enough seed
for their 1919 paintings. This Is the
word being given out by M. A. G. on
the strength of current reports that
the practical failure of the California
vegetable seed crop this spring prom
ises to cause a shortage year hence.

parsnips and turnips, such as have
wintered well and have uninjured
crowns, are set out in the early spring,

Sow Turnips With Glover.

"The practice of sowing cow-horn
turnip seed with clover when the clo-
yer is seeded in the spring grains is a
good one on n dairy farm" the depart
ment of dairy husbandry of M. A. G.
declares. THE method is one that
has been followed with very gratifying
returns by many farmers in Michigan.
About one-fourth to one-third pound
of cow-horn turnip seed is mixed with
the amount of clover seed to be sown
per acre. The turnips grow slowly
among the clover plants until the
grain crop is harvested, when they
come on quickly. Inasmuch as the
cow-horn is long slender root, II
thrives between the clover plants with
out injuring them in the least. Yields
of from five TO ten tons or more per
acre have been reported. They may
be harvested before the ground
freezes and stored in cool, moist
cellar to provide palatable. succu-
lent feed for the cattle during the
winter"

Producing Quality Beef.

Livestock markets during recent
years have experienced continual
growing demand Cor well-fattened beef
animals weighing from 900 to 1000
pounds. In order to meet this demand
and secure the highest prices, breeders
are showing an increased tendency to-
ward finishing Off their beef cattle ut
younger ages. Stock raisers find II
more profitable to conduct their opera
tons in this manner than to hold their
cattle to advanced ages as was the
custom some years ago. when pasture
land was cheaper than II is at present.
Such a demand must necessarily be
supplied by well-finished animals from
fourteen to twenty months old carry

usually that of the Hereford. Aberdeen
Angus, or Shorthorn. To distinguish
them from animals Of other beef
classes, these yearlings have come to
be designated as baby beeves. The use
of better bulls with consequent i'm
provement In quality and early matur-
ity Is an essential In the production
of baby beef. The preparation for mar

About Sharing Milk's Cost.

Serious increases In the cost of pro-
ducing milk have resulted in recent
years from feed and labor problems.
This increase is in keeping with the in
crease in the cost Of almost all other
commodities. and the consumer must
expect to pay his portion Of any legiti-
mate increase in the cost Of production
occasioned by these conditions.
On the other hand there is need Of
,more attention to better management
on the average farm devoted to the
production of milk. The amount Of
milk produced per cow Is frequently
so low as to reflect seriously on the
business ability Of the owner. There
is no good excuse for slack business
methods on the dairy farm. Direc-
tons for keeping records of milk yields
and cost Of production are furnished
by each state agricultural college and
by the United States department Of
agriculture.

Gas Kills Greenhouse Pests.

Hydrocyanic-acid gas is the best
weapon to use against insects infesting
the foliage of ornamental plants in
greenhouses. 1t is cheaper and more
effective than any other means and it
is successful against nearly all in
sects. 1t is explained in a new publ
cation of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, 'Fumigation of
Ornamental Greenhouse Plants With
Hydrocyanic-Acid Gas" that In green
houses containing large variety of
plants slight injury may result to the
tender growths OF some plants even
when the fumigatlon is properly done.
This injury is not permanent. how
ever. and such plants will show new
vigorous growth in a short time. In
fact. the growth of many plants Is
stimulated by this gas. Cyanide Is
very poisonous substance and extreme
care must be used in its handling.

Keep a Clean Cow Barn.

The most common defect in dairy
stables Is lack. of cleanliness; cob.
webs on the ceiling and manure on the
walls are too common in some places.
The dairyman must not allow cobwebs,
dust or dirt to accumulate II he ex-
poets to produce the highest grade of
milk. With tight, smooth ceiling and
smooth walls without lodges this Is not
difficult. Whitewash should be freely
applied both to the walls and ceiling
ut least twice year. as 1t helps to
purify the stable and to keep 1t light
An abundance Of light is necessary |;
four square feet of glass for each COW

Farmers Get Custer Manure.

Through an arrangement made by
the college with Camp Custer, the
manure produced in camp. amounting
to something like six carloads day,
is being distributed to farmers at So
for a carload of about 30 tons. When
the project was first undertaken local
freight rates were charged, but these
have since been changed to through
rates, much cheapening the cost Of
the manure to purchasers. The coun-
ties affected by the changed rates are !:

ested In this project can secure infor.

MILK THAT IS SPILLED
WOULD FEED THOUSANDS

We spill too much milk. There
Is no use to cry over it after
wards. but precautions before 1t
happens would help consider
ably.
In an investigation not long
ago, dairy specialists OF the
United States department of ag-
riculture learned that losses In
handling milk in the city plant
averaged 2.15 per cent of the
/ amount handled by Al dealers.
At that rate dealer handling
5000 gallons day would lose
1914 gallons daily, or nearly
10000 gallons In year.
The departments specialists
name nine leaks for these losses.
Milk-plant men especially can
stop them, but anyone who
handles milk cans will be able
to help. Here are the ways in
which losses are most likely to
occur:
!. Leaky cans.
2. Careless handling of cans,
both in transferring from cars
and In dumping.
3. Inefficient draining of cans.
4. Leaky or battered appa-
ratus.
5. Filters out of repair. as
leaky valves.
6. Losses at the filler. This
may be caused by the valves not
being properly adjusted, care
lessness in handling, breakage of
bottles. etc.
Z. Carelessness In handling
full cases of milk, thus break
ing the bottles.
8. Loss from not removing all
the milk from the pasteurizer,
pipes. pumps, tanks, or other ap-
paratuS.
Q. Loss during the process of
pasteurizing and clarifying by
evaporation and mechanical
wastage.

HOUR FOR
SCHOOL KIDDIES
Government Food Specialists Dis
cuss Various Foods for
Children.
SUGGESTED BILLS OF FARE
Skimpino Meals for Youngsters 10
Not Necessary War Measure
and 10 lnadvisable-Metal
Boxes Most Favored.

The school lunch has always had its
problems for the mother who is eager
to provide wholesome noon repast for
her school Riddles. Almost always the
school lunch Is hurriedly arranged
item among the mothers early morn
ing duties. and 1t Is sometimes difficult
to give this meal the attention 1t de-
serves.
Wars food conservation problems
have not helped in the matter Of
school-lunch preparation. but IL any of
the family Is entitled to some immun-
lty to food regulations. 1t is the grow
ing child who eats one OF his meals
away from home each school day. In
the opinion Of the food experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. skimping meals for the young
sters is not n necessary war measure
and is inadvisable. The food special
lists have discussed In a publication OF
the department Of agriculture the
foods that should make up the school
lunch. the preparation and packing of
lunches. and serving lunches partly or
wholly prepared at schools. Some sug-
gested bills Of fare for the basket
lunch are given In another column.
Number Of Foods Carried.
The number of foods that can be
easily carried has been enlarged Of
late by the possibility of using paraffin
paper and parchment paper. in which
,at~ hn 10
prevent them from sticking to other
foods. Paper cups, jelly glasses and
so on, are also help, for I'm them
sliced raw fruits. stewed fruits, GUS
tards, cottage cheese and other half
solid foods can be carried.
The quality of the bread used in the
basket lunch is especially important
because It is commonly served in the
form OF sandwiches and is, therefore,
to he considered not only as food in
itself but also as means Of keeping
other much-needed foods in good and
appetizing condition, or of serving
them in attractive ways.
Variety in breads, too, is more i'm
portant at this than at other meals
because Of the danger of monotony
Wheat bread, whole-wheat bread, corn,
rye. or oatmeal breads; nut, raisln,
and date breads; beaten biscuit. rolls,
crisp baking-powder biscuit, or soda
biscuit. and toast, zwieback and crack
ers may be used In turn to give variety.
Rolls followed out can be made to
hold large amount Of sandwich fill
ing, which is an advantage at times.
Advantage Of Boxes.
Many kinds OF lunch boxes, pals,
and baskets are now on the market.
The chief advantage of most boxes and
pals is that they are made Of metal
and can, therefore. be easily cleaned
and scalded to keep them in safe con-
dition. Some boxes have the advan-
tage over pals that they can be folded
when empty and strapped with the
school books. Baskets are ventilated
md for this reason suitable for carry
Ing moist foods which are likely TO
spoil. There is no reason, however.
why small holes cannot be punched In
metal boxes or pals to let In the air.
Baskets can, of course, be washed or
scalded, but not so easily as metal
