IMPROVING
LIVESTOCK

Improving livestock succeeds best
when done comparatively, and it is the
only way that Improvement a be
kept up continuously. In England
and Scotland where most all the inn
portant breeds of live stockswere de-
veloped, whole communities raised the
one kind Of cattle, hogs, sheep or
horses. So.mGch so that these breeds
We're usually given the name of the
country or shire as they call it in Eng
land, as Shropshire Sheep, Hereford
(Shire) Cattle, Yorkshire Hogs, etc.
In this way they kept on improving
the breeds and they are improving
them yet.
Several communities in the United
States have gone into the raising Of
one breed and the communities have
become known all over the country for
the stock they raise, as Mortified,
Mimi, for its Holsteins; Waukesha
county, Wis, for its Guernseys; Geau-
ga county, Ohio for it's Holsteins;
New Salem, N. d., for it's .Holsteins,
and so on. Not only has a great deal
of Improvement been accomplished
already in these communities but the
improvement will keep going on. It
is like a SNOWFALL that has been start
ed down hill, the further it goes, the
bigger it gets.
In community livestock breeding the
cost of improving the stock is reduced
to the, minimum. In many cases the
cost is no more for raising high
grades and thoroughbreds than for the
Individual farmer to raise common
scrub stock, and it is easier to sell
stock in a community where all the
farmers raise the same breed. When
q community enters on raising one
breed, everybody, men, women and
children, become interested in and

TO GRAND

Everyone in the vicinity are re-
Equested to attend the Grand Thurs
day and Friday and see the Esprit Of
the Red Cross" It is an official Red
Cross photo play and was filmed es-
pecially to aid in the coming Red
Cross Drive. 1t is needless to remark
that now that you know it is coming
you will want to see it; it is nothing
else than patriotism all the way thru.
But aside from that fact, the story is
such a simple, tender little one, and
the two leading players are so sim
cere in their efforts, and the battle
scenes are so realistic that the whole
is about as clever a piece of work as
can be imagined. Peggy Adams
makes an ardorable nurse, and Ray
mond Mckee gives a delightful per-
Torrance of a Sammy. Come along
and help your country.
Red Cross Nurses are used in the
production of this picture and also a

We're used by permission Of the, War
Department and they will be seen both
in marching order and in The heat of
action. This is a RED CROSS BEN

The programs for these evenings
are fine ones, Marguerite clark featur-

that record crowds will attend the

OPENING GAME

Devils Lake went down to defeat to
Starkweather in the opening game Of
the baseball season Sunday afternoon
at the city ball park. Despite the
cold and windy afternoon a large,
crowd was on hand to witness the ex-'
hibition, the proceeds of which were
to be and have been donated to the
local Red Cross Chapter.
It was a remarkable exhibition of
the national game from the very first
inning when it is considered that it
was the first game. Both teams play
ed good ball and it was clearly de-
monstrated that before the season is
over they shall have developed. into
fast teams.
Delaney on the mound for the To-
calls, pitched in mid-season form and
again demonstrated that he will win
the games if given proper support.

new man in town, but demonstrated
in Sundays game that he is a catch

the season is too young to draw any
dependable conclusion of their real or
probable ability. Sufficient to say
that every man on the team is a sea-
soned player and that with an even
break of luck Devils Lake will win
her share of the games during the
coming ason
It was announced at the grounds
that there will be a game here each
Sunday afternoon throughout the
summer and that the proceeds from
these games will be given to the Red
Cross. 1t is expected that there will
be a large attendance to these games
as the cause is a worthy n and is
the means of raising something over
500 each Sunday for this work.

%tration's New Home Card Now
In 100000 Homes.

The women of America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning Of the war, are now, as q
whole, familiar with the most impor-
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Card, both IN its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
which provides for two wheatless days,
one meatless day a week, in addition
to a wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign in 100000
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance Of the Homo
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had q
great many requests, however, particu-
larly from the homes of the well-to-do,
that it should issue a worked out plan
for a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs fgom two causss-first, be-

crete working plan by which to pro-
coed, and, second, because the loyal
women Of America desire, unselfshIy,
to put themselves on the same basis
40 the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad-
ministration is almost the same 40
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United, King
dom, in hundreds Of houses there
hangs in the front window a card with
the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR

The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, Is
