PULVER|zED FISH
IS LATEST THING
IN FOOD FOR HOGS
Scrap Left After OH is Ex-
traCted from Menhaden to
Be Utilized as Tank
age Substitute.

Fish crushed in an immense cider
press and then dried and ground is
the governments latest found cheap
hog food.
E. Z. Russell OF Washington, gov
ernment hog expert and formerly edi-
tor of the Twentieth Century Farmer,
was in Omaha on business last week.
Mr.. Russell has just returned from a
trip to Reedville, Virginia, where he
has been making Investigations re-
garding this new feed.
A small, inedible and extremely
bony fish called the menhaden, is
caught on the Atlantic coast in large
numbers. At Reedville, a little town
of 400 to 500 inhabitants, the fishing
boats land and the catch is put
through big presses, much like cider
presses, and the fish oil extracted.
. The balance, called SCRAP" has been
used for fertilizer in the past, but
there has not been very large de-
mand for it and the price has been
about $50 per ton. Since the war,
with an increased demand and de-
creased output, the price has risen to
$S5 per ton.
Il talked to a meeting of all the
menhaden fishermen in town." said
Mr.. Russell, "and they explained that
after the war they feared the price
would go to the old level, making
it inexpedient for them to spend
money in enlarging the industry"
As Good as Tankage.
The government has been making
exhaustive tests and finds that this
fish scrap, after being ground, is just
as valuable feed as tankage, which
is now used in large quantities and is
a by-product from the packing houses
Tankage costs about $l05 per ton. Ef-
forts will be made to have the men,
haden industry enlarged and to use
the scrap as hog feed in the eastern
states. This will release the entire
output of tankage and decrease its
price, for the use of the middle states
Mr.. Russell expects to pay visit
to the western coast in the near fu-
ture with the view of arranging for
the manufacture and use of fish scrap
as hog feed there. This arrangement
will decrease the amount of hog feed
that has to be shipped, making animal
matter available for feeding purposes
in the vicinity where it is manufac-
tured.
"Reedville is very interesting lit
tie place." said Mr.. Russell. Every
body in the town makes his living
from the menhaden, either directly
or indirectly While small, this viii
lage furnishes 10000 tons of fish scrap
a year. or about three-fourths of the
entire output of the Atlantic coast.
Reedville is 90 miles from a railroad,
and there are two boats week from
Baltimore. A daily mail is carried

Ray Mcnamara Gives
Chalmers Car TrVout

Expert testimony is always given
great weight in a court of law, and
therefore the findings of an expert in
driving should be real evidence in mo-

recently decided to try out a Chal-
mers for economy, the driver chosen
was Ray Mcnamara. famous road en-

motor car farther than any man who
ever lived. His records show that he
has driven far more than 100000
miles and, by the way, he has never
had an accident nor broken a traffic

Using a Chalmers car with no spe-
cial adjustment, Mcnamara submitted

was made toward economy, everyday

result, IA miles per gallon, was strik-
ingly good Even so, Mcnamara was
not satisfied and he determined to
make some ingle-gallon tests. also in

GERMAN COMPETITION z IN LATIN AMERICA IS
 "BOOGEY MYTH" ONLY

Chicago, Dec. 13.-JOhn Barrett, director general of the Pan-AmericaE bureau, the official international or ganization of the American republic, quoted trade figures to show that any fear of German competition with the United States in Central and South America is a "bogey myth" in a speech before the Cook County Es- tate Board tonight.
 German competition neither was before the war or will be after the war an actual menace to the trade of the United States with the twenty Latin-American countries,'' he sad. In the last year before the wa:, the total trade of the United States with these countries exceeded that Of Germany by nearly $300,O00,O00.
 At the outbreak of the war in 1914, the value of the United States commerce with Latin-America for the preceding fiscal year was appro- ximately $75O,0OO,OO0. In the fiscal year 1917-1S it reached the immense total of $1,750,0O0,0OO, growth of $1 GOO 900, ,00O in only four years. Last year, the trade of the United States with LatinAmerica was greater than that of all the other countries put together"

THINK BEFORE YOU CASH
 YOI1R WAR SAVING STAMPS

The government is making a recoru of all persons who purchase. War Saving Stamps and the reasons given if the stamps are cashed before their maturity. These lists finally will be filed with the County Clerk Tn each county to establish permanent rec ord of each individuals part m the war work. Every citizen will be known not only by the extent of his invest ment, but by the duration of his loan. This fact probably is not known by persons who unthinkingly cash thelr stamps before payment from the gov ernment is due. Uncle Sam spends the money as soon as it is received. When he is called upon to refund these loans, he is in the same predicament that one would be if he barrowed money from the bank to build house. !, and after he had purchased material and put carpenters to work, the bank would suo ienly recall the loan. Don't cash your War Savings Stamps be- fore 1923 unless you have to. Be sure that your reason as it will be put in the record at the court house justifies
 your act

GERMAN SYMPATHIZERS NOT
 POPULAR.

Some sympathizers of the fallen inn perialistic government of Germany, in Texas, have suddenly become em- boldened to make what are alleged to be reasonable remarks against the United States in the mistake belief that the armistice now in effect abro- gated the national espionage act and the state loyalty law. But prO-Ger- manism is as much tabooed in Wash ington County, now that the armistice has been signed, as it was during the actual lighting. Practical demonstra- tions of this fact have taken place.
 At Burton, Fritz Kunkel did not take kindly to the terms of the armis- tice imposed upon Germany. Citizens of the town took possession of him, gave him a sound whipping and then gave his naked body coat of yellow paint. Louis Klanke was another Ger man objector to the armistice provis- ions. He was whipped publicly. Louis I1eIulduH, AeSI luci WHo iSoA"So iAoAA Brenham, thought an injustice had been done the kaiser and Germany by the allies. He was whipped by local citizens and made to double his wal work assessment. Otto Roemer ant Herman Roemer, when called to ac. count for alleged pro-Germanism agreed to double the amounts of theil war work assessments. Henry Mier another German of the Brenham com munity, was arrested and placed in jai for refusing to deliver up arms t Sheriff Burney Parker. He is an aliel enemy and is being held to awai further investigation by the fedora authorities. Antone Pawlosky, wh lives in the Sandtown community o Washington County, had some hars things to say about President Wilso and the allies when news of the sign ing of the armistice' reached him. H was rounded up by patriotic neighbor who, after whipping him with las upon the public street, forced him march through town carrying tn American flag and shouting to he

SEVEN AND ONE HALF
 BILLION ESTIMATED
 SUM GERMANY TO PAY

London, Dec. 13.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-One Lon
 don bank estimates that Germany
 will have to pay to the allies for rep
 aration and restitution about ST. 500 100000. Calculated on a five
 per cent basis, with 1 per cent sink ing fund, this would mean an annual
 charge on the Germans revenue of $450 ,oOO,OO0. He says there can be
 no question of Germany's ability to
 meet this demand.
 It is impossible, he says, discussing the subject in newspaper article, to arrive at any approximate figure as
 to damages and robberies in the in- yaded territory. "For Belgium the article continues, l would put the amount of indeminity at $1 100000 |OO0 of which sum levies on Belgian towns account for something like $500, 100000. know of another estl- made for Belgium which is as high as
 $2, ,OOO 1000, ,OOO and a Belgian of some authority estimates the amount at
 $500, ,OOO,O00."
 l With regard to France he says 1 one cannot reckon the loss suffered:
 "but considering that the war has been waged for the most part on
 French territory, and in the center
 of her industrial area, we may put | the figure at $2O0o,O0O ,00O." <, 1 Haay's damage is computed at lS150, 1000, ,O00. The same amount ds iset as Rumanias s bill, including the floss of quantities of foodstuffs and
 damage to oil wells and other proper Ity. He thinks that $5O,0OO,0OC you'd cover Serbia's loss, and a like
 surn probably would reimburse Eng Hand for damages caused by air raids land bon,bardments. | Shipping losses are then discussed l"I estimate,' he says, "the loss ol Iships in figures of tonnage at nin' million, and, taking the average val
 lue of $2OO ton, this would figure ou
 at $1 1,8OO,OOO. Adding the total val
