KILLING CALVES
 MUST BE STOPPED
PULASKI COUNTY DAlRYMEN's ASSOCIATION WANT THE OR DER OF ADMINISTRATORS
 DESCENDED.

The Pulaski County Dairymen's As soeiation, of which L. A. Miller is president, met this week and asked that the order made by Grover T. Owens, County Food Administrator. against the killing of calves for veal be rescinded or modified, claiming that it is unjust.
 Dr. R. M. Cow, state veterinarian, and J. F. Nicholson, oBard of Com merce Agriculturist, agreed that the order works hardship upon the dairymen, as there is no economy in feeding food to calves that are not to be added to the herds. The dairymen agreed to sell the calves for $1 each when they are five days old, if MT. Owens would find a market.
 A committee of five, composed Of J. F. Nicholson, Dr. R. M. Cow, H. E. Casey, J. F. Emerson and w. c. Cole man, was appointed to represent the association in further conferences with MT. Owens.
 MT. Owens issued the following or der Monday:
 "Ali dairymen in Pulaski County are hereby directed to prepare re- port and forward it to this office, be- fore February 23, giving the number of their cows that have calved since February 1, and the disposition made of said calves, including where the calves now are. All dairymen are fur ther directed to make and forward to this office on the 1st, 10th and 20th of each month a report, giving the number of COWS that have calved since their last report, and the disposition made of said calves.'
 'If the attention of the dairymen is called to the provision of the law ; MT, Owens said, it may prevent the killing of calves by those who knock them on the head and feed 'em to the hogs.-n

USED CANS DO NOT
 AFFECT THE QUALITY

A large grocery concern in Mime sota is purchasing for the local Red Cross all clean and undamaged coffee cans returned by housewives suitable for use again after sterilizing. Money for these cans is paid to the Red Cross, and housewives are enlisted for teamwork through newspaper an- nouncements explaining the idea. These newspaper announcements are paid for by the grocern concern, which kiyes the Red Cross 2 cents each for cans. AS something more which gives the Red Cross 2 cents were distributed through the North west last year, it is planned to extend the system from Michigan to other states, paying the Red Cross for re- turned cans at branch houses. It is possible that such plan might be found practical in this section of the country by coffee concerns.

LII D. Mother mine.
 It has been an awful long time since l have written, but not because did not want to. I did want to. But have had the best of excuses-I could not.
 It sure seems an age since I left the U. s. A.. and since I received any news from home.
 This letter will be censored in Eng land somewhere and as do not know the rules laid down on letters, etc., I will write what I have to say and let the censor do his part. As I write with pencil it will not be hard for him to erase. So here goes.
 We left Garden City, L. L, about 5 o'clock one clear, cold morning and marched silently down to our train. There were - squadron (mak- ing up complete wing). Everyone thought we were bound for Hoboken. But they fooled us and we embark ed in ---- on this big boat. It is quite a large one. They say it is sixteen years old. She is a good one though and is chartered by the Brit ish Government.
 We left -- one afternoon bound for-we did not know where It turned out to be -- where they had that great explosion. We arrived three days after it happened and the boys on the boat took up a col lection by squadrons. There was quite a rivalry but of course the 18th beat every other squadron by S142 and, be- lieve me, we were sure proud of it. I think there must have been given by U. s. soldiers alone three or four thousand dollars. We gave $543.
 It was very cold in and around that country and we were not allowed off the boat (where we have been three weeks now).
 Sunday week ago we left - (were there a week. and tonight we are in what is called Death Lane'' or some such name because, they say, it is a regular grave yard for boats We are we'll protected however by whole swarm of British torpedo boat de- stroyers which scoot all over every where. No matter where you look, there are one or two. They are small -- funnel boats and built very close to the water so that at times the ocean waves break all over them. They don't mind-seem to shake them selves like a water spaniel and keep right on. There must be at least -- and they signal and zig-zag all day long.
 There are other big boats

HELP DINAH
 SAVE ON SMOKE
CORN OIL ALSO PREVENTS BuRN- ING OF FOOD, WHICH IS SOME HELP TO THE
 CONSUMER.

Smokeless cooking is possibility with corn oil, which has a burning point of $50 degrees F., as compared with only 425 degrees for lard, 250 de- grees for butter, 535 degrees for cos- tonseed oil, 600 degrees for olive oil, and 620 degrees for peanut oil. The low burning point of lard and butter fills the kitchen with burning grease smoke. The high burning point Of corn oil enables the cook to bring it to 500 degrees before putting in food for frying, and the hot oil instantly seals in food juices, retaining flavor and aroma, the food being cooked in [ it's own juice instead of saturated with grease.
 In one experiment, an onion dough- nut, meat ball. and codfish ball were all fried together in the same corn oil, none of them absorbing fla vors from the others, an illustration of this sealing. Corn oil also has a lower congealing point than any other salad oil, remaining clear and fluid down to IA degrees F., and so makes salad dressings which are free from Jumps. Olive oil becomes cloudy and solidifies at 32 degrees, as does peanut oil. It is said that nothing equals American corn oil for nice, even browning of fancy dishes.
 Oil content averages about 5 per cent of the corn grain, so that g. 900, ,000, ,000-bushel corn crop holds potentially 400,O00,0O0 gallons of corn oil. The oil is extracted from the corn germs, purified by filtration and steaming, which sterilizes it and turns it into a clear, limpid, pale straw-col- ored food oil, free from odor, possess | ing a peculiar sweet flavor and keep 1 ing without rancidity for many months.
