Born Of Teuton greed and lust,

Then new song woke within me,
A refrain / can't forget;
Wen all 90 broke II we haf t.

None need fear to seek his bed
Lest demon In a Gotha

Only now and then we sigh.

Folks, we'd ought to be so grateful
To each fghtin' Yankee boy

Milk BY the Yard.

Virgins is confirmed practical
Joker. The other day he strolled into
the local dairy. and, with a perfectly
solemn face, said:
81 want yard of milk!"
The dairyman was not to be done.
Dipping his finger into the milk he
drew a line of wet milk along the
counter and said blandly:
"There you are sir. Ten cents
yard"
But Virgins got one back, after all.
"Ah, thanks!" he said negligently.

DAIRY PRODUCTION
/ Of OURS endangered
MR.. HOOVER PLEADS FOR URIC
EMIT NATIONWIDE SAVING
OF FEEDING sTUFFs.
Milk Now Limited to Children an
Vital National Uses In Allied
Countries. Burden to Make
Shortage Good Falls Upon
United States.

Washington, Oct Sowing to tn
extension of the drought area, tn
shortening Of the corn crop, the large
animal population In the country an,
the Allied demands upon US for feed
Ing stuffs for their own animals, be
cause of their own shortage In pro
duction of feed grain. II Is necessar,
that we should exert every effort II
the proper conservation Of feeding
stuffs during the next twelve months,
yet we must maintain our own ANNA
production. 1t Is necessary that w,
should ship larger proportion O
wheat as compared with -four during
the next twelve months than during
the last twelve months to the Allie,
countries, because their own shortag,
of feeding stuffs Is such that II the!
are to keep alive their dairy herds
they must have a larger supply o.
grain wheat.
Already, the milk supply In the AL
lied countries has been limited prac
tically to the supply Of children ant
other vitality necessary national uses
and any failure on our part to supply
them with necessary feed stuffs fol
their dairy herd means that we shal
cut into the actual safety of the chill
dren amongst the Allies. On thu
other hand, both our own population
and the Allies are dependent upor
our production of animal products
and we do not In any way wish tc
sti6e this production. What we must
secure is the utmost elimination Of
waste by the careful feeding of ami
mails and the use of all the rough
age available.
One of the difficult problems is the
distribution Of wheat mill feeds, anC
this Is made more difficult by the fac
that the Food Administration, In ar
endeavor to protect the farmer, Il
maintaining an artifcially low price
on these feeds. One consequence Is
that a great deal Of mill feeds are nov
going unnecessarily into work AMI
mails or beef production. Every farm
er will recognize that the wheat mi!
feeds are vitality necessary for the
dairy cattle, to some extent for the
poultry, and for young pigs. Owing
to the absorption of mill feeds al
local points near the mill, consider
able sections of the dairy industry
are practically without mill feeds and
our dairy production is thereby In
danger. With view to correcting this
SO far as possible, the Food Admins
tration desires to appeal for the as
,sistance Of the farmers of the coun
try in the use and distribution Of
wheat mill feeds. In this view we
are asking every buyer of wheat mi!
feeds, outside Of the acute drough,
area, to sign a pledge of honor not Il
use the wheat mill feeds for any pur
pose except the essential use in dairy
young pig and poultry production, and
not to purchase or hold at any one
time more than so days supply. I'm
less we can secure this careful and

The Government is making a varied
appeal in its war posters. The poster

pecially for Catholic communities and
for display in Catholic churches. "Sir,
Don't Waste While Your Wife Saves"
makes. an appeal to the men of the
city and is to be hung in lobbies, res

congregate. The poster for the
children is Little Americans" a
picture of a chubby child eating and
admOnished to leave the plate clean
This is to be hung in schools and

no noise and is good for night raids
while the airplane is noisy. The
first, though, can not stand much
snow on it. The airplane can not light
on strange places at night without
damaging itself. The Zeppelin can not
carry guns while the airplane can.
The first is also a good target for the
enemy; it goes sixty miles an hour
while the other goes 160 miles. The
airplane must come down more often
to get more fuel, while the Zeppelin
can carry its gas a long time
The eagerness of the children was
well displayed when the experiment
of proving that gas expands when
there is no air was about to be made
They stood up to watch the air. being
drawn from the glass jar by means of
an air pump. Some stood with mouths
wide open. The air filed to leave the
jar entirely and the experiment had
to be taken on faith by the audience;
the children had seen the experiment
performed before
Bombing of unfortified towns is un-
fair" said one little fellow, because
they have no means of protection and
there are women and children there"
Said one mother, John had a whole
lot more to say. for he went over it
this morning and he said more"

proves that the children make up most
of it as they go along"

WRITERS COMING In MAY
Program Arranged by Missouri Guild
for Journalism Week.

The spring meeting of the Writers
Guild will be in Columbia, Monday,
May 6, says the Missouri Writers
Guild News. The program cannot yet
be definitely announced, but it can be
said that besides the helps and inspir-
ations the Guilders will get from fell
lowship and interchange of ideas, the
program of informal addresses will be
out of the ordinary. Augustus Thomas,
the greatest playwright in America,
again has promised to attend If he can,
but cannot make definite promise so
| far in advance Mr.. Thomas was pre-
vented from coming last year after he
had planned to come. AS head of the
Frohman Company he is tremendously
busy, and lately has also been giving
much time to public service. Not long
ago, for instance, he made speaking
tour for Liberty Bonds.
A. d. Macdonald, another who was
unable to attend last year, has prom
ised to make up for that disappoint-
ment this year. Mr.. Macdonald has
been called the greatest newspaper
feature writer in the country. So far
as we know, he is the only news
writer whose news dispatches were so
good that another great newspaper
copied them and published them as a
serial. That happened when the Kan
sas City Star sent Mr.. Macdonald to
Oklahoma to write up Harry Starr,
the bandit, then being pursued by a
posse.
William Marion Reedy. editor of
st. Louis Mirror. has definitely prom
ised to speak. Mr.. Reedy is the edi-
tor who brought to public attention
Sara Teasdale, Zoe Atkins, Edgar Lee
Masters and many other famous
writer's He has done great things for
literature in Missouri.
William H. Handy may be there.
He is planning trip to New York at
about that time Che is in San Diego
now) and will try to arrange stop
over. That is not definite, however.
Fatty Lewis will be there for
humorous talk, of course
Orrick Johns, the poet, also has de-
finitely promised to attend, and Dean
Evrard, who is preparing the Missouri
Anthology, will talk on Missouri |
writer's of verse. Charles G. Ross, |

WHY is AN AIRPLANE?
OR WHY is A ZEPPELIN?

The lesson today is about airplanes
Will you please state what kind OF
wood they are made of. What kind
of metal is used in their construction
What are the wings of the plane made
Of? What is the weight of the engine
what are the propellers made of? And
/ further, why is the airplane better
/ than the Zeppelin, or why is the Yep
pelin better than the airplane?

grades of the University Elementary
School will now step forward and

more that will be asked. And tEay did

she didn't know and the life-savior
was sent to her, and the show
proceeded in good order
Spruce wood from the Pacific Coast
having a girth of IA feet, is used for
making airplanes. To make a French
battle plane $4,000 screws, 921 steel
stampings, 7S9 forging casts and 276
turn buckles are required. The aim
is to use as little metal as possible to |
make the plane light. Linen is used |
to make the wings. The reason for |
this is that the bullets will not rip |
it. 1t requires POI square yards of
linen to cover the wings of one ma
chine. The linen is covered with a
chemical preparation. Three coats are
given. Fifty-nine gallons are used
on each plane; then it is covered with |
varnish to make it water proof.
The engine is chiseled out of one
piece of steel and weighs three pounds
to each horse power produced. 1t
works by gas. The propeller is made
Of walnut, mahogany or white pine.
1t takes ten weeks to make one, three
weeks being required to allow the
parts to set after being glued

furnishes yarn gloves to the men,
which wear out comparatively quick
ly but can be as easily replaced, and
with these gloves the yarn wristlets
are very serviceable.
More Socks.
Knitted helmets are mighty value
able, especially these snow-crowned
and cold-nipped mornings. The type
of helmet is undergoing a desirable
change, with which later it is to be
hoped every man may be furnished.
With close-fitting gas mask which
we must wear, the helmet with bay
window effect cannot be used. Rather
the helmet should be modelled some
thing like hood, chin strip and jowl
pieces omitted, and sort of a pair
of latch strings or puckerin' strings
attached to tie under the chin out of
the way of the rubber faced gas mask.
AS to the socks-these homemade
old-fashioned socks can't be beat.
They are warm, they are thick with

If home folks will persist in knitting
let them know that of all articles we
probably appreciate the socks the most
now especially as the most of the
men are supplied with sweaters.
Many Insured.
The men of this Division are insur-
ing their chances against returning
in whole, in part, Or not at all to the
extent of S65,000,0OO as reported to
date. Not only does this overnment
insurance indemnify ones elatives in
case of death, benefits to be paid
over a specified number of years, but
in case of disability the insurance
supplies pension to the 81 ldier him
self. Every soldier has al tomatical-
ly been insured by the g,vernmen ent
to sum of $4,000, this pl ovision to
be void after February II. Effort
accordingly is being made now with
special insurance drives to urge ev-
cry man in the division to avail him
self of this insurance At ates vary
ing for most men in the 60 odd cents
per $1,000 in monthly premiums to
be withheld from regular pay, there
will be few cases indeed who refuse
the chance Most of the men are suk-
scribing for $4,000 policies.
