Sailor Now German Prisoner.

Men serving on the destroyer Jacob
Jones of the American fleet in foreign
waters had a terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by
German submarine. The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon. AL
though every effort was made to re-
turn the fight and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
of the men got into the boats and on
the RATS and a great number were
seen swimming in the sea. Two of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One Of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as a prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal Of being torpedoed Murphy
made a heroic struggle to save mem
bers of the ships crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he Is held prisoner in
Germany. Murphy was a ships cook,
first class, on the Jones.

Homing Pigeons Cost Less

Someone has calculated that it costs

PREVENT FIRE
LOSSES
: By the u. S. Department
of Agriculture

Millions of dollars worth of agri-
cultural wealth is destroyed by fire
each year in the United States. At
normal prices and with an average
yield it would take the greater part Of
the potato crop of the country to off
set all that is lost annually through
fires on farms. This is dead loss
to the nation-for the fact that most
individual losers are partially reim-
bursed by insurance does not In the
| least reduce the drain on our national
resources-and it is loss that is large
| ly preventable.
The problem Of fighting or prevent
| ing fire in the country districts Is a
most serious one, for organized fire
prevention work such as has been de-
practically impossible in the country.
Some fires on farms may be unavoid'
able, but great many Of them could
be prevented by a comparatively small
amount of time intelligently applied
by the individual farmers in the study
of conditions which are likely to cause
fire, and by placing simple and mex.
pensive fire-fghting equipment in con-
venient places about the farm build
ings.
The farmer should study his build
ings and their contents from the point
of view of the fire inspector Of the
city, whose sole business is to see all
the things that can be done to I'M
prove conditions so that fire cannot
easily start, and to determine the
best ways Of fighting any, fires that
may start. He should remember that
any preventive or protective measures
which he may take are for his own
benefit, and that protection sufficient
to prevent a fire Is cheap as COM
pared with the loss, entailed by the
average farm fire. Every building or
set Of buildings has certain points
which are more susceptible to fires
than others, but adequate protection
must be provided for the entire prem
| ises before the owner can be sure that
some weakness due to oversight or
neglect will not neutralize the good eff
| feet Of all the work previously done.
Most farmers carry fire insurance
on their buildings and contents suffl-
cient partly to repay for any losses
that may occur; but this insurance Is
paid from premiums which are nothing
| more than tax collected from the
policyholders for this purpose. The
loss occasioned by serious fire Is
such that very few people can afford
to be without fire insurance, but at
tention Of the prevention of f1re
would result in reducing the number
of fires, and, therefore, the rate of pre-
miums necessary to cover the fire
losses. This would be felt quickly In
mutual companies which are owned
and managed by the policyholders
themselves and in which the premiums
are fixed by the actual losses.

off the first award in its class and
also the blue ribbon for the best young
hen homer in the show.
Than the government homers no sec
ton of the show attracted more gen
eral attention. Officers from the ar
mics of Great Britain and France
were especially interested in the ex-
hibit, and a khaki-clad warrior ap-
preached Major Griffin to explain how
on one occasion on the western front
his life and that of his entire battalion
had been saved by nothing more than
a little homing pigeon, which had got
ont with its message telling of the pre-
carious predicament of the soldiers In
the front trenches and enabling re-en-
forcements to be hurried up just In
the nick of time.

Want Rabbits for Food.

Shortage of meat has revived the
popularity of the rabbit in England,
and the Guilford food control commit
tee has asked the town council to
finance scheme for starting a rabbit
warren in order to increase the food
supply. It Is estimated that, begin
ming with 40 tHG1e rabbits, there would
be 1000 at tie end of the season, and
as the nitiai c&st would be only $500,
the venture ST1ld prove very profit
able.

If condensary is within reasonable
distance the creameryman sometimes
can sell his skim milk there. Very
few creamerieS, however, are so situ-
atGd, and the largest opportunity for
the creameryman to divert skim milk
and buttermilk into channels of hui
man consumption is by the manufac-
ture of cottage cheese, says the United
States department of agriculture.
This product is easy to make and util-
ICES skim milk and good grades of
buttermilk.
Cottage cheese is one of the impor-
tant meat substitutes. 1t contains a
larger percentage of protein (the chief
material for body building) than most
meats and furnishes this material at
n lower cost. In every pound OF cot
tage cheese there is about One-tifth or
a pound of protein. nearly all of which
is digestible. Meats. on the other
hand, usually contain less protein and
besides have a certain waste, such as
bone and other inedihle material. A
pound of cottage cheese daily would
supply all the protein required by the
ordinary adult engaged in a sedentary
occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese is much cheaper than
meats in furnishing protein for the
diet
For supplying protein, 1 pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 pounds sirloin steak.
100 pounds round steak.
1.37 pounds chuck rib beer.
1.52 pounds fowl.
LAG pounds fresh ham.
LA pounds smoked ham.
1.5S pounds loin pork chop.
1.31 pounds hind leg of lamb.
1.37 pounds breast of veal.

HYMN TO THE NIGHT

1 heard the trailing garments Of the night
Sweep through her marble halls!
1 saw her sable skirts all fringed with
light
From the celestial wallis
felt her presence, by its spell Of might
Stoop Ger me from above;
The calm, majestic presence of the nlgnt,
As of the one love.
1 heard the sounds of sorrow and delight,
The manifold, soft chimes,
That fill the haunted chambers of the
night,
Like some old poets rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of the midnight air
My spirit drank repose;
The fountain of perpetual peace flows
From those deep cisterns foes.
o holy night from theeI learn to bear
What man has borne before!
Thou layest thy finger on the lips OF care,
And they complain no more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes-like breathe this
prayer!
Descend with broad-winged flight,
The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the
most fair,
The best beloved night.
-Longfellow.

In addition to protein, energy for
performing body work must be fur
nished by food. AS a source of en-
ergy, also, cottage cheese is cheaper
than most meats at present prices. The
following table shows the comparison
when energy is considered.
On the basis of energy supplied, 1
pound of cottage cheese equals:
s 1-3 ounces SirlOin steak.
ia ounces round steak.
11H ounces chuck rib beef.
1Os4 ounces fowl.
51a ounces fresh ham.
5 ounces smoked ham.
6 ounces loin pork chop.
Z 1-3 ounces hind leg of lamb.
12% ounces breast of veal.
A yield of Is or more pounds of cot
tage cheese from 100 pounds Of skim
milk can readily be obtained, or mix
ture of two parts skim milk and one
of buttermilk will give the same re-
suits. The wholesale price on most
established markets varies from Az
cents pound during the early sum-
mer to cents during the winter, the
1917 price showing marked increases
over former years. When making as
much as 800 pounds q day the total
cost of manufacture, including labor,
coal, power, water, packing (tubs), and
depreciation on equipment, is from s
to 10 cents a hundred pounds of skim
milk.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There is little that is new in the
war zone of Europe. The two great
armies are sleeping on their arms,
each watching for a movement on the
part of the foe. The greatest force
of the German army has been massed
for days as if preparing for another
offensive at the Somme, but it hest
tates to strike. The allies have their
lines strengthened, ready for assault
from any quarter by the enemy. Per-
haps the Hun now realizes the hope
lessness of trying to break through
allied lines. After the terrific sacri-
fee of men made in the April drive,
that so signally failed, the German
army may never again launch another
formidable offensive. but it is diff
fcult to predict the next move of the
crazy Kaiser. The world must wait
on the fortune of events.

while nearly every man salutes
