How to Prevent 1t.

World want cannot be prevented by
hoardings. Neither Is anyone's safety
dependent on the amount of money hi
has hidden away. Safety depends Oh
the sane, wise, unseliiSh use of the re
sources of the sation. Every mans re
sources are the resources of the ma
ton. Safety depends on the willing
ness of the individual to share now
with the government every resource
he possesses-thought activities, mon
ey. The right, free use of these, our
powers, should be towards production
not restriction. OF what avail VIII
money be later, if there should be lit
tie or nothing to buy? The govern
ment is trying to speed up production.
It will try harder by-and-by. Help Oh
towards your own safety and the safe
ty of all by helping the government.
Therefore, buy Thrift stamps. Wal
Saving stamps, Liberty bonds.
So do you put your hand, with all
the other hands, ON the helm of our
ship, and become one of The pilots who
will steer it through the storm to Il
safe harbOr.

DAIRY HERD CAN

Make Improvement by Becoming

SUPERIOR sfREs ESSENTIAL
Production Can Be Greatly Increased

Worth More as Beef.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Every dairy herd should produce the
maximum of milk at the minimum of
cost. This Is a war need-produce
more food at the least cost of feed.
To do this the scrub bull must go. The
cooperative bull association has sound
ed his death knell. No longer can he
retard dairy development and hinder
efficiency.
By breeding to superior sires milk
production can be greatly increased in
single generation and greater econ
omy effected. 1t has been impossible
for the 100000 farmers who produce
the bulk of this country's milk supply,
but who own an average of less than
ten cows, to use bulls of high quality
because of the great expense. BY join
ing bull association any dairy farmer
may own a share in an excellent pure
bred bull at cost far below that ordi-
narily paid for scrub. The initial cost
is smaller and the maintenance cost
is very much less.
Scrub Bull Worth More as Beef.
Dairy bulls are judged by their abil-
ity to increase the production Of their
daughters over the DAMS Scrub bulls
can only decrease production-thus

RHEIMS IN RUINS
FROM HUN SHELLS
City Completely Wrecked BY
100000 Enemy MISSILES.
ONLY 8 MILES BACK OF LINES
Cathedral Roofs Falling; Only Pillars
Will Remain; Royal Theatre, Law
Courts And Ancient Salons A
Mass OF Blackened Embers.

Paris.-Rheims is completely in
ruins, as a result of the German bonn
bArdment
During the last week 100000 enemy
shells, including incendiary projec-
tiles, have fallen within the city. One
day alone 10000 shells were thrown.
The city is now a wilderness OF
scorched and blackened stones, with
few ghostly remains of houses rising
from the sitting fumes. Streets have
vanished under the shattered walls.
The place Royales Theatre and tho
law courts, like the ancient hotels, his
toric salons and the Maison de Mu-
siciens, are mass of emibers. The
arched roofs of the famous Cathedral
are splitting and crumbIing. Soon only
the pillars will remain.
+ One of the most historic and pic
turesque cities in Europe has thus
been effaced by German frightfulness.
Rheims had a population of more than
100000 before the war. 1t was once
a stronghold of the Romans and pre-
served much Of the Roman architec-
ture, including beautiful triumphal
arch. On the site of the former Ro-
man Notifications fine boulevards
were built
The Rheims Cathedra, was one of
the largest and most wonderful speci
mems of Gothic architecture in the
world. 1t was but during the thir-
teanth century 1t had facade con-
tanning the famous Rose Window"
It's portals were richly adorned with
sculptures. In this cathedral the
French kings were crowned
Next in Importance to the cathedral
was the large eleventh century Abbey
Church of ST. Rhemy Other struc-
lures were the archiepiscopal palace,
dating from the fifteenth century, in
which was located a museum of sculp-
ture, and the hotel de vile, containing
a public museum and library of
more than $4,000 volumes.
Rheims is less than three miles back
of the French lines.

lowering the efficiency of the herd.
Their harm is not ended in one gen.
GRAFTON. but continues indefinitely.
With beef at exceptionally high prices,
sell the scrub bull. for his meat value
far outweighs his dairy worth. A
common practice. for the farmer with
few cows is to breed to the nearest
bull. regardless of breed, breeding, or
conformation, and as a result dairy
herd Improvement is slow.
The cost of bull service also falls
heavily on the commercial dairyman
with small herd, as bulls must be
changed every two or three years to
avoid inbreedlng. AS rule, therefore,
he buys a bull calf from the nearest
farmer who keeps the breed in which
he is interested. Too often cost is
the first consideration. Too seldom is
the bull purebred. and even then an
thentlc production records of his an
cestors are not usually available. The
result Is lack of Improvement.
What Bull Association Is.
A cooperative bull association Is a
farmers organization whose purpose
Is the joint ownership, use, and ex-
change Of three or more hlgh-class,
purebred bulls. The territory COW
cred by the association is divided into
three or more breeding blocks, and a
bull Is stationed in each block for the
service of the 80 to 90 cows in the
block. Every two years the bulls are
lnterchanged. Thus. at small cost, a
bull for every 90 cows is provided for
six or more years. The cost of bull
service Is thus greatly reduced, the
best OF bulls are obtained. and the man
with limited means and only a few
cows n enabled to improve his herd.
Bulls Of outstanding merit are pre-
served for their entire period of use
fulness. Associations of this kind
teach cooperation. encourage careful
selection OF cows and calves, introduce
better methods OF feeding and man
agement. intelllgently fight infectious
diseases Of cattle. and assist In the
marketing OF dairy stock and dairy
productions. Assistance In Organlza-
ton may be obtained by writing to the
Dairy Division. Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture.
One fact cited by the dairy special
lists In support OF the cooperative bull
association Is that about three-f0urths
Of the 23.006O00 dairy cows In the
United states are owned In herds of
less than ten cows. The owners OF
these small herds In many cases can
not afford 20 maintain purebred bulls.
and Tor such owners the bull assOcla-
ton offers the only practical remedy
for the peoF quality Of dairy cattle.
Through Dail associations they can Inn
prove their cattle and decrease ex-
penss.

WORLD WANT
BY BARNETTA BROWN
Of the Viqiiantes.

Place your elbows on your knees
put your head in your hands, and
think. Many strange things arc
happening. Unprecedented conditions
abound. Those who have carefully
studied the world situation tell us that
we may have to face widespread world
want if we are not forethoughted and
forehanded. With millions of men
turned from their usual occupation OF
helping to provide the necessaries o!
life, depending on others for food and
clothing While they fight, the industrial
order is thrown completely out of bal,
ance. The ship OF state is passin"
through troubled waters. What can
we do, what must we DO. to insure safe
passage?

Let Everybody Do II.

A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Journal writes to say that he has vol
UNFAIRLY reduced his consumption Of
wheat, meat and sugar by 30 per cent.
Under cOmpulsion, he says, he would
gladly reduce it by 60 per cent or even
more, for then he would he assured
that everybody was doing it, whereas
now there is every possibility that
some pro-German or Stacker is COB
bling up or wasting all that he saves.
This constant urge to voluntary sacri-
flee places all the sacrifice upon the
good citizen, while the unpatriotic citi-
zen goes free. The principle IS undemo-
cratic; which is to say that In demo-
cratic country it Is entirely wrong.
Only through compulsion in food con-
servation can justice be done to the
sacrificing patriot Winnipeg Tele-
gram.

''PRUSSIC ACID FATAL
Liberty Bonds win Prove Highly
Successful Antidote.
Average Dose of Remedy Is From $50
to ,ooo-AmpIe Evidence Why
Immediate Provision Should
Be Made.
BY LEIGH MITCHELL HODGES
of the ViqiIantes.

Prior to August 1914, prussic acid
was known as one of the deadliest
poisons, but comparatively few per-
sons were killed by it.
Since that time German autocracy
has killed and MANNED millions and
jeopardiZed the life and liberty of all
free nations by wholesale use of a
new kind of prussic acid-a "hydrocy-
anide" of brute force which, if not him
dered, will be as fatal to freedom as
the prussic acid of the laboratory to
him who inhales its deadly vapor.
With this deadlier prussic acid, the
kaiser and his crew are trying to pois-
on the minds as well as the bodies
of those who will not submit to the
domination of might. Thus far he and
his hell mates have succeeded fairly
well, but a new antidote for this pois-
ON will check the peril if amply APP
piled.
Americanism is it's name, and the
method of application is as follows: !.
AS soon as symptoms of the
poisoning appear-either in the
form of trench, air or submarine
raids or German propaganda
planting, take one large dose of
Americanism in the form of Third
Liberty Loan bonds.
The effect will be instantaneous.
At once the purchaser will pass
from state of approaching des-
pair to an unprecedented degree
of satisfaction at having backed
UP the boys who are fighting for
freedom and the millions of men
and women who are working to
help win the war. This will be fol-
lowed by a sense of security in
having strengthened our defenses
against devilism, and at the same
time the effect on the foe will be
that of a powerful emetic, caus-
ing them to throw IN their hands
in horror at the thought of such
whole-hearted support of the AL
lied Cause.
For the average American the
dose suggested is from $50 to So
000-taken daily in small quanti-
ties over long period, or swal-
lowed at one time and followed by
a feeling of happiness which can
not be appreciated until expert
enced.
And while this is suggested as
the most admirable antidote for
this poison, it also possesses the
peculiar quality of providing
pill for Kaiser Bill at the same
time. Testimonials from millions
of Americans who already have
used this remedy and like it Sd
well that they are going to lay in :.
another large supply, make clear
the use for buying your bonds
early!

Another Letter From
Tuscania Survivor

Two more Tacoma boys who
were in the Tuscania disaster are
now known to be safe and sound
in Europe. They are George
Rauh and William Cooper, both
we'll known here.
An end to all uneasiness in the
families of these two men was
brought by letter received here
by Mrs. ]. p. Rauh from her son,
George, who told of the sinking
of the ship and how the boys were
saved.
: Excerpts give an interesting &C.
count of the sinking of the ship,
as follows:
at was 5:45 and Just getting
dark when there was crash and
an explosion that cannot find
words to describe. Bill and !
both jumped to our feet and ran
for our position on the boat.
There was a, shower of water and
wreckage that struck us just as
we got in the open, for We were
quite near the middle of the
ship, and that is where we were
sitting when We were hit. Mel
Their of us were hurt and as soon
as we could we got to our places
and waited for orders. Bill was
to go in the first lifeboat on the
port side and | was to go in the
third. They lowered away the
first boat and they had bad luck
with it for 1t tipped end for end
with only a few men in It,. When
1t did hit the water there were
only four men in 1t, and they cut
the wrong rope and the result was
that the other two boats could
not be lowered. The same thing
happened to four boats that l
saw while standing there on the
deck.
Fright then decided to look
out for myself as best could.
The ship was very steady and
holding up we'll, so l was not
afraid. l sat on the railing and
smoked cigaret and waited for
a chance to get away. Finally
there was another boat let down,
but 1t landed upside down and all
the men fell out of 1t. I watched
II hit the water and found that
it was in good condition but had
a little water in 1t. This was
about Z o'clock, and ] thought II
was about time to get off, so !
slid down rope and got in. There
were about 35 or 40 of us In 1t
and 1t was one Of those colaps-
ible boats with canvas sides. We
pulled away from the ship and
pulled for some lights which we
thought was lighthouse.
I'VE had a hard time going
against the wind and waves for
