himself still the military genius OF old,
starvation forced his retreat.
And so it will be in all ages and
for all times. A well-nourished body
means victory, whether in civilian or
military pursuits, while hungry per-
son can neither fight nor work.
This country has been asked to save
wheat, meat, fats and sugar. Why?
Wheat is the grain most easily trans
ported. It takes up Tess space and
does not spoil. Europe knows nothing
of handling cornmeal, and, even II she
did, it would do her no good, because
corn easily spoils. Wheat does not.
The sugar shortage in Europe has been
caused by lack Of transportation, hence
It is up to America to get this neces-
sary food to them IN our own ships and
from our own supplies.
Fats are vital In making ammunition,
such as nitroglycerin, and in keeping
the soldiers In warmth-producing food.
The chief reason why so much stress
is laid upon the saving Of pork Is be-
cause it Is the easiest kept and con-
tains nourishment and fat. Pork prod
ucts, such as bacon and hams and
shoulders, may be kept for an indef-
mite period, whereas other meats will
spoil unless they are kept upon Ice.
Refrigerator ships cannot be had, ex-
eept I'm limited numbers, hence it is de-
sirable to transport only those supplies
which take up the least cargo space
and with the minimum risk Of spelling.
No man or woman in this country
would refuse starving person slice
Of bread. but this is, indirectly, what
we are doing. The allies are holding
back the German hordes while the
American armies are preparing. Yet
these people are in want; their chill
dren are suffering from lack Of proper
foods and If we refuse to give up
some Of our pleasures Of taste that
their sufferings may be relieved, we
are placed in the same position as one
who has plenty yet will not give to
the hungry.
Already we have shipped to the al
lies our surplus Of wheat and now all
future shipments must come direct
from savings from our daily consump-
ton. Il we fail in this we will have
sacrificca thousands upon thousands
of lives tolour taste and greed by pro-
longing the war. By getting food to
the allies we enable them to hold Ger
many until American troops get on the
fighting front, and once they are
there, victory Is in sight.

Blame It on Mars.

During the 1915 opposition Of Mars
the northern snow cap Of that planet
extended about 1876 miles farther south
than in the previous opposition. In re.
porting this observation, Prof. w. II.
Pickering suggested that it would be
interesting to see whether cold win.
ter on Mars would be followed by a
cold winter on earth. Apparently this
was the case, as the winter Of 1916-17
seemed to have been considerably cold
er than the average in both Europe
and America.--Scientifc American.

For the Poultry Grower

We have in this country 104 vari-
eties Of domestic fowls which have
been described and recognized as
standard breeds. There are various
classifications. Among these are such
terms as fancy and practical; eggs
and meat; according to their place Of
origin, etc.
For instance, all Of the recognized
breeds are said to be practical except
the, bantams and games which are
said to be fancy or ornamental.
Under the so-called egg breeds are
grouped most of those that originated
around or near the Mediterranean sea.

PRAYER OF THE ARMY MEN

At the going, when we stumble up the
gangway to the ship.
While we wish, and curse the wish, that
we could stay:
On the channel, as we watch the yearr-
ing cliffs Of England dip,
Help us, Lord, to hide our sickened hearts
away!
On the marches-oh the marches with
the blisters on our feet.
When our kits weigh not much less than
half ton,
And our one idea Of heaven Is q place to
sleep and eat
Give us strength, Lord. till our thirty
miles are done!
Through the weary. starlit vigils when We
guard the sleeping tents.
When they huddle gray behind us In the
gloom.
Bid us challenge every phantom that our
fear Of death invents: .'
Keep your ears alert to hear the creep
ing doom!
In the trenches, with the bullet-ridden
earthworks squirting dust,
And the peering rifle muzzles splitting
flame; .s..
In the sweating bayonet charges. with the
thrust and wrench and thrust,
Hear us when we. dying. call upon Thy
name!
In the winning, IN the losing. In the
triumph, the despair.
Be we victors or the holders Of defeat,
Keeps us mindful Of the honor OF a ma
ton that we bear; -..-..
Let our souls, Lord be above the fate we
meet! .r

against the wall, as they take too much
floor space if set on the floor. One
nest should be provided for each four
or five hens. Straw or other material
used In the nests should be kept clean
and not allowed to become so low that
the eggs will strike the wooden bottom
of the nest. This NAV cause the eggs
to break and will start the mems to
eating them-a very troublesome habit
n n that is very difficult to break
up nee it is formed.
A litter of straw or leaves about
three or four inches deep on the floor
of the house helps to absorb the drop
pings, and by feeding the grain in this
litter the hens are obliged to exercise
by scratching for it.
Wire fencing is preferable to boards
as it Is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to fly over. If cats prove trou-
blesome, where one is raising young
chickens, 1t may be necessary to cover
the top Of the yard with wire also.
This is practicable for small enclos-
ures. A board should not be used at
the top of the wire fence as this gives
the hens a visible place to alight and
tends to teach them to fly over. A B.
foot fence is high enough for most con-
ditions, but If the hens show n ten
dency to fly yer such a fence the
flight feathers of n wing should be
clipped. The larger the yard which
can be provided, the better the hens
will do, as 1t not only gives them bet
ter opportunity to exercise but also
makes it possible to maintain a sod
in the yard. In most cases not enough
yard will be available so that n sod
can be maintained. If the yard is fair
! ly large it can be divided into two
parts and green crops, such as oats.

tend to keep down any odors which
might arise but also allow the drop
pings to be absorbed into the soil more
readily and therefore keep the yard
In better condition for the hens.
Although 1t is necessary to keep the
hens confined to their yard most of
the time, it is sometimes possible to
let them out where they may range

AUTO TAGS FOR
1918 COST MORE
Fees Are Graded According to Horse
POwer-Applications for Licenses
Being Made.

Bismarck, Dec. 29.-Applications
for 1918 automobile tags are being
received in wholesale numbers by the
secretary of states office, according
to the statement Of C. A. Carlson, in
charge Of the motor vehice depart
ment at this time. Mr.. Carlson reports
that up to the present time 2,171 APP
plications for automobile tags have
been filed and that so dealers licenses
have been sent out already for 1918.
A great number Of the 1918 appli-
cations have had to be returned by the
department because of a misunder-
standing of the new automobile law.
Remittances have not been accurate
in many instances and the department
has had to return applications for
these reasons.
The license fee under the new law,
adopted by the last session Of the
