WHY WE MUST WIN THE WAR
Present Germany viii Domi-
nate, Writer Says.

"Mittel-Europa is in existence to-
day." says Frederick Naumann, a
prominent member of the reichstag.
He is right. Germany stands pos
,sessed Of all she hoped to gain when
she forced the war. She has reduced
her allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
northern France, Poland, Russia, Ser
bia, Montenegro and Roumania. More
than 200, 1000 people are under the
d~ictation Of Prussia.
If the war ends with conditions as
they are at present Germany's brutal
policy Of force will dominate the world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
q combined population of $4,000, 900.
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
are detached from each other and con-
fined within narrow limits on the
south md west Of Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become second-class
powers.
The United States, practically alone,
would be left to face the aggression
Of q power with about twice the popu-
lation, directed by autocratic rulers
toward further conquest.
The only way to make ourselves
safe is to win the war.

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
Is Made Of Short Piece Of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
u point Of view, is q curiosity. For
II thing, It Is not made of wood, but
Is a short piece of cotton string. Sec
ondly, it has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about a match with two heads. If one
fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully in a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories In which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents q day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
q fire or lights a cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

The Lucky Horseshoe,

When Lord French visited the little
county town of Oldham to inspect the
Rutland volunteers, he found time to
leave a horseshoe on the castle walls.
From time immemorial the lord of
the manor has demanded a horseshoe
from every peer of the realm on his
first setting foot within the "lordship."
The custom is carefully kept up, and
the ever-increasing collection of horse.
shoes which hang on the walls Of the
hall OF the castle numbers some 200,
ranging in size from that Of the ordi-
nary racer TO the Brobdingnagian pro-
portions of q shoe seven feet long

Treatment of Prisoners.

There is still talk in some quarters
Of Wales of q German invasion. A
thousand years ago, however, inva-
sions were quite a common thing along
the Welsh shores. The Vikings came
and went pretty much as they pleased.
They burnt and massacred in a
way that would have delighted the Ger
st. David's, and actually cooked and
ate the bishop-which, nc doubt, de-
lighted the antichurch people of those
days. On the other hand, when the
Welsh caught q Viking they llayed him
alive and nailed his skin TO the church
door. There was no softness with
prisoners such as is exhibited today.

BRITISH NURSE IN
SEARCH FOR HUSBAND

London, (by mail.)-Three years &
Lady Robert Sheffield Stuart quail
fled as a hospital nurse and went to
France, firm in the belief that her hus-
band, missing since the battle Of
Neuve Chappelle, was alive, and hope
full that she might learn some news Of
him. He was a captain of the Royal
Scots Fusiliers, and with four brothers
was severely wounded. Captain
Stuart insisted that his comrades
should be removed before he was taken
off h field, and when the stretcher
bearers returned for him he had dis
appeared.
Lady Stuart made eager inquiries
wherever his duties led, but her patient
quest thus has been ~unrewarded, and
the missing officer is now presumed to
be dead. He was the heir of the Earl
Of C~astlewart, his elder brother, Wis
count Stuart, having fallen at Loos.

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising Of lucerne or alfalfa in
New Zealand Is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with O
total of G 1-5 long tons Per acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting liz tons of Peruvian per acre,
12a tons Of Poitou, 11k tons of Rus
sian, II tons of Spanish, II 1-3 tons
Of Hungarian, IA tons Of %Patagonian,
and 14A tons of Marlborough lucerne.
1t is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
into hay, would give an approximate
yield of 3k tons each, which at S19.46
per ton gives a total value Of $6S.13
per acre.

said John J. Lawler OF Rensselaer,.
Ind, and Chicago.
Mr.. Lawler is the largest cattle
feeder i'm Indiana. He is the owner
OF $4,000 acres OF land in Jasper
and Newton counties, feeds out
about 5000 head OF cattle every
year, and during 1918 his buying on
the Chicago market averaged $500
head of cattle a week. On his In
diana ranches there is q battery OF
i silos, the best proof IN the world
OF his faith in this institution. In

more this year on top OF the four

The advice OF the leading cattle
feeder in the state and surely one
of the most successful regarding the
silo should not pass UNDECIDED by
any men who are Just entering the

Most of the silos on Mr.. Lawler's

BOTH BREAD AND MEAT
IN FLOUR OF S0Y-BEAN

WASHINGTON, June is. - What
would you think OF a slice Of bread
that has the same food value as a
beefsteak sandwich?
II isn't a dream nor an exaggera-
ton. 1t is a fact supported by
specialists OF the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. It is based
on chemical analysis OF and exper-
iments with soy-bean -four. a new"
product that is expected TO pinch
hit" for wheat, and not only to do
that, but 70 work in meats place as
well. The "high-powered bread"
that has the scientific resemblance
to- a beefsteak sandwich does not
even use all of the voltage" OF the
soy-bean flour. This bread had been
made from a mixture OF so per
cent soy-bean flour and 20 per cent
wheat flour. II is extremely high in
the protein element and is really
substitute for protein foods such
as meat and cheese.
Some people call soy-bean flour
new food, but il is far from
that. for the soy bean was used in
China and Japan in the dim dawn
OF history and has been used in
those lands ever since. Only re-
Gently, however. has this bean be-
come OF Importance in the worlds
commerce and only within the past
few years has itsO food value been
recognized in the United States.
Soy Bean Has Many Uses.
The SOY bean can be used merely
as a bean. II can be pressed. and
the oil is valuable. The pressing
also produces a cake valuable as a
food for human begins and as a
feed for animals. When the press
cake is ground the soy bean -four is
produced.
To make soy bean -four available
in large quantities the department
OF agriculture is encouragin south

plants in manufacturing il after the
cottonseed pressing season. II Is
believed that there viii be enough

SURPLUS cow PEA
SEED To Be USED
Necessary to Protect II From
WeeviIS and to Make

There is a large surplus supply
Of cowpea seed IN the country which
should be planted or fec promptly

on seed stocks OF the United states
department Of agriculture. The sur
plus is OF varieties with colored seed
which ordinarily are not used for
human food, but which produce
hay OF excellent quality and seed
which is q very desirable concen-
trated stock feed rich in protein.
Beginning with warm weather in
summer the damage TO cOwpea seed

be very large so that 10 81 highly
desirable that plans be made TO

in additional paintings and where
there is an excess above this, FOR

urgent, the department specialists
say. that the south. especially
should further increase its acreage
OF coWpeas this year.
The cowpea hay, when properly
cured. is OF high feeding value,
practically equal 20 that of alfalfa.
The southern states should grow as
nearly as possible the entire supply
OF hay they viii need. Heretofore
the south has imported each year
,arge quantities Of nay from the
north and west. Growing this hay
in the south will relieve the rail-
ways OF tremendous traffic.
Cowpea seed, especially when

re experiments of the Alabama

OF corn and cOwpeas in equal parts

at the South Carolina experiment

Cowpea meal has also been found
q very satisfactory feed for mules.
especially IN a mixture composed Of
one-third cowpea meal and two
thirds corn-and-cob meal. Similar
mixtures may be made with other
