WAR DEPARTMENT
TO GET CHARGES

NEW YORK, December 25.-Wide-
spread complaints by homecoming
soldiers of exorbitant charges for
service in 7. NJ c. A. canteens over
seas will be referred to the War De-
partment for investigation.
Declaring that the association
wanted ito know all its shortcom-
ings" and that eff we are not De
livering the goods after the way tns
people of the country have supported
us. we ought to be made to do so.
John R. Mott. head of the war worh
council has announced that all Spe-
cific complaints would be placed pc
fore Third Assistant Secretary OF ar
Keppel, in charge OF army n'oa a. az.
with the request that they pc maoe

spection generals office of the Amerl-
can expeditionary forces.
Wants Shortcomings" Revealed.
"If 1 have been inefficient I ought to
be removed said DR.. Mott. IF any
body else has, he or she ought to De
removed.We want to know our Snort
comings, both Of omission and com
mission, so that as far as possible
they may be corrected"
Dr. Mott said his decision to turn
the inquiry over to the War Depart
by P. T. Edrop. a Y. NJ. c. A. chaplain
who had made a preliminary investl-
cation by examining written COM
plants regarding association service
and who had interviewed returned
soldiers. Because of the remoteness
of the individuals complained of. Mr..
Edrop said, it was possible to get only
one side of the story. except for offi-
cial Y. NJ. c. A. reports available in
some cases. and numerous letters
from officers and enlisted men abroad,
hundreds of whom praised the work
of the. organization.
Complaints Summarized.
Summarizing specific complaints. Mr..
F,drop stated that the soldiers charged
that in certain sectors canteen charges
were excessive: in others that there
was lack of supplies for free dis
tribution near the firing lines and IN
some cases for sale as well; that there
was congestion of secretaries in
! large cities and noticeable lack of
workers near the front at some points;
. that some secretaries alienated the
Sympathies of the troops through an
assumption that their mode of living
was demoraliZing; and that workers
, did their tasks grudgingly and idled
whenever possible.
= On the other hand, Mr.. Edrop said,
evidence was abundant, including off,
cial citations by American and al
lied commanders, of the heroism and
, devotion to duty of many Y. NJ. C. A.
workers.
Pending an official investigation the
chaplain urged that Y. NJ. c. A. sec
retaries be instructed to lay emphasis
upon the new tradition created by
our men of the A. f. F." in contrast
to the old assumption that the soldier,
"hope1essly tempted, was different
from the civilian"

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SlLO

The silo offers the best means OF
conserving the farm feed supply. II
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use Of his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife 70 save the vegetables ana
fruits for the future use O the fam
iiy. The presert and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products Of all kinds make 1t at
once 20 the proht and the duty OF
farmers 70 increase IN every way the
efficiency Of their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the silo Is es-
sential to efficiency. It's advantages
are too numerous to fully enumerste

CARE OF PROMISING PULLETS
Improbable to Waste Feed on Under.
sized Birds-layer Is Worthy
Of Good Feed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
It may pay to keep late-hatched pull
let's that are well grown for their age
even though they should not lay until
midwinter, but an early-hatched pull
let that is understood at this season
will never make a good hen. To get
all that is possible out of all the prom
Using pullets good care and good feed
ing should be the rule at all stages.
It is impossible to grow pullets care
lessly and on short rations until they
reach the age when they should be
full grown and mature, and then bring
them forward quickly by a short
course Of good management.
A pullet that is worth keeping as a
layer is worth good care and full rations
all the time. A pullet that is not con-
sidered worth keeping should be eaten
or marketed as soon as she is eatable.
The one exception to this is where
there Is more than enough waste feed
for all the poultry kept. Even then it
will pay better to sell the unthrifty
birds as soon as their character is ap-
parent and to buy good, thrifty ones
to replace them.

Public officials, veterinarians and

and-mouth disease that may appear in
this country, according to statement
by DIR. ]. r. Mohler, chief Of the bureau
Of animal industry, United States de-

"Recent cable news announces an
outbreak Of fOot-and-mouth disease in
England which brings to mind the Sc
rious outbreaks of that disease which
have been experienced in the United
States.
"Foot-and-mouth disease has appear

1t has done in the United States. In
both countries the past outbreaks have
been promptly controlled and eradicat-
ed and no cases have occurred in the
United States since 1916. Neverthe-
less the disease makes its appearance
at irregular intervals. In this country
we may expect its return at any time,

FALL WORK WITH POULTRY
Overcrowdinq Is Liable With Growing
Chicks Unless Closely Watched
Three Big Points.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Growing chicks should be looked aft
er very closely, as OvercrOwding Is
liable to happen, owing to the fact
that the chicks are getting larger and
need more room. This Is a very inn
portant point. Care given the flock
at this time means a profit; lack Of
care, a loss. The three important
points are (D fresh air, especially dur
ing the night, (2) fresh water at all
times and (3) clean quarters.
In every instance where egg pro-
duction is the end sought, the pullets
should be put into winter quarters as
soon as possible. Their winter quar-
tiers should be ready in advance. At
this season cockerels should be Sc
lected for next springs breeders and
placed by themselves with plenty Of
run If possible. None but strong, Wig
Orous specimens should be selected.

Every dairy herd in the United

Copies of the list are available for the

Certificates of freedom from tubercu-

Control with q view to the eventual
eradication Of tuberculosis in cattle Is
being accomplished by systematic eff
forts of federal and state authorities
in cooperation with cattle breeders
associations and herd owners.
A definite plan was adopted in 1917
whereby herds Of cattle passing the
prescribed number of official tuberculin
tests should be certified or accredited
as free from tuberculosis.
An accredited herd is one that has
successfully passed two annual or
three semiannual tuberculin tests ap-
piled by regularly employed veterinary
inspectors Of the bureau Of animal in
dustry or of the state where c0-Opera-
tive work is conducted, and has other
wise complied with the regulations
governing the work.
If the status of any Of the accred-
tied herds should be changed, prompt
notice is to be given to the officials Of
the various states. Additional lists
are to be published from time to time.
