DAIRYMEN MUST HAVE SILOS

To make dairying profitable the
owner of cows must build silo. The
Great saving that can be made by
feeding ensilage is beyond question.
Vast quantities of feed that would
otherwise go to waste can be saved.
The ensilage is to the COW in winter
what canned vegetables is to the
human being. 1t is required to keep
the COW in good, healthy condition.
A COW in healthy condition with a
rood appetite gives more milk than
the COW that is constantly fed on dry
food.
If you have few cows by all
means make arrangements to put IN
ensilage. If you do not care to, or
cannot afford, to go to the expense
Of building a concrete or stave silo
dig a pit in the hill side. Many silos
are built this way. Apply to the ag-
ricultural bureau for information. Pit
silos are comparatively inexpensive.
Almost anything in the shape of
green stuff can be converted into en-
silage.
The two Okanogan men who were
here last week and sold two carloads
of cows told this paper that in their
country every rancher who had cows
either had silo or was making ar
rangements to have one. Their
great benefit was made so appa-
rent that the doubling ones have
been converted.

The Peshastin Red Cross gave a
benefit musical Wednesday evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lam
phere. Miss Gladys Lanphere, of
Chicago, assisted by her sisters, Miss
Grace and Miss Winifred, gave a
very delightful program.
Interesting letters were read from
soldiers "here" and cover there"
Red Cross maids served lemonade
to the guests. The musical was given
out doors and the lawn looked very
attractive with large American flags
hanging from the trees and lanterns
interspersed between the trees.
The proceeds of the musical were
given to the Peshastin Red Cross.
The Canteen Department of the
War Workers is truly living up to
the motto "eat what you can, what
you can't, can" or as the English
man says, what you can't, put in
glass jars" Fruit as soon as it is
brought in is canned and stored
away to be given to the environments
for consumption this winter.
The Canteen Department started
their work July 5th, and up to date
they have canned over 100 quarts OF
fruit, the fruit being cherries and
currants.
The war workers room is a busy
place, as Mrs. K. Johnson, who is
chairman of the canning committee,
directs the preparation and canning
of all fruits. The canning committee
aims to take care of the fruit as
soon as it is brought in and their
work will extend late into the fall.
The next few weeks the committee
expects to can raspberries, black
berries and apricots.
All the fruit has been donated. The
automobile committee will go and get
the fruit and the ladies will pick it
when necessary. Fruit jars and
canning utensils have also been do
mated but the supply on hand is NOT
sufficient with which to can the fruit.
Many hands make light work and
there will always be a place in the
War Workers room for a helping
hand
Conservation will save the ma
ton" is the slogan of the Gamers
and the committee is very grateful
for all fruit which can be given for
cantonment canning. Obeying the
food laws the Gamers are careful in
their consumption of sugar, know
ing that this year the nation must
conserve and not preserve.

ASK ACTION ON
APPEAL CASES
Peoria Board Urged to Hurry De.
cisi0n On List Cases Pending
For This District.
MANY HAVE Low NUMBER
Aim To Get ALI Registrants Lined
Up for Calls Issued for March
80 and April 3.

B. d. Connolly, clerk of the local
exemption board today sent a let
ter to the district board at Peoria,
urging that that body dispose of
the remaining appealed cases in
this district with all possible speed
Some 81 class 1 cases are still
pending with the district board,
and many of these registrants have
low order numbers. The local
board has two calls to fill, the first
for March 20 and the second for
April g. If the appealed cases are
not SFeturned in time, many draft
men with low order numbers will
have to be laid over until their
cases are passed upon. For this
reason, and in a measure of fair
ness 10 the other registrants the To-
cal board is asking that the district
cases.
Thirty-two appealed cases were
returned by the district board yes
terday. Twenty-Five of the regis
trants were held in class 1, four
were placed in class 3, five were
placed in class and one was
placed in class 5. The appeals
we're taken on claims of depend
ency and agricultural and indus
trial claims.
In response to an urgent teIe-
gram from the adjutant generals
Office at Springfield, the local board
Wired back last night that it has
approximately fifteen hundred men
available in class l.. It is believed
that the quotas are now being fixed
for each of THE local boards in the
state affected by the calls for March
20 and April 8.
It was learned today that Louis
Kevacass listed yesterday as a
QUESTIONABLE delinquent, died sew
eral months ago in Chicago.
The aid of the local branch of
the American Protective league, of
which Fl. w. Litten is chairman,
was enlisted today in the search for
questionable slackers, the delin-
quent list being published yester-
day. The notice and sheriff's force
is also busy on this work. The
majority of the "questionnairs.
slackers" are foreigners and it is
believed many of them failed to re-
turn their questionnaires or fill
them out through ignorance.

CHEROPRACTOR
FACING ARREST
IN DAVENPORT

Prosecution on two state
charges awaits an unknown Dav-
cnport chiropractor following the
discovery Thursday night Of a
smallpox patient in a rooming
house at 612 Brady street, Daven-
port.
The patient is E E. Lofquist, As
years old, a student at a Davenport
chiro school He has been taken
TO St. Roberts hospital, the house
has been fumigated thoroughly, and
the roomers and proprietOrs have
been vaccinated by health author1-
ties.
Word came to Health officer
Tom Kennedy Thursday evening
that someone was sick in the
rooming house. When he went to
investigate. he found Lofquist seri-
ously Ill with smallpox.
He said he had been undergoing
chiropractic adjustments for the
disease, but he did not give the
name of the man who had been
treating him.
The case was not reported to the
board of health by the attending
chiropractor. This in itself is a
serious offense under the Iowa
laws. The other charge on which
health officers are seeking the man
is practicing medicine without a Ii
cense.

EVERY MAN TO HIS JOB AT CAMP OF
NATIONAL ARMY MEN THROUGH LABOR
OF DIVISIONAL PERSONNEL OFFICER

When an officer wishes a man
for a certain place, he has access
to the file. He sees the cards OF
experts at a glance. He looks them
over and selects the man he wants,
and very seldom makes a mistake.
Farmers, factory worker, law
yers and preachers In khaki with a
two days growth OF beard all look
alike, but the cards do not, and here
is the personnel division in nut
shell. Looks simple, but it Is stu
pendous task and will add several
thousand per cent to the efficiency
OF the national army.
Another good point-Washfngt
is able to tell by its bi-monthly re-
ports just how many men have been
taken out of the industries and
from the farm by the draft.

dissensions were presented to the

Also that the closing at o'clock
