REVIVING ART OF CLIMBING
Steps Taken to Conserve Fuel May
Lead to Old Practice Of Walking
Upstairs.

There is a surviving story of tho
humorist identified as "the Danbury
News man" that once he went tc
visit friend who spent his working
hours on the top floor of a Chicago
office building of ten stories or so
The elevator was not running, but
time was, so Mr.. Bailey had nc
choice but to climb. He reached
the height out of breath, and sank
painting into a chair in the friends
Office with the expiring query, "IS
God I'M"
But now we have come upon days
when conservation and war and the
like turn the world topsy-turvy. AS
q matter of saving coal the Skip
stop" plan is to be applied to eleva-
tors in the large Office buildings
That is, they will skip the second
floor. This for start. If the pres
sure grows, we may lind them skip
ping both second and third floors
and increasing the height to the first
stop as the climbers become per
fected with practice. The jest of the
humoTist becomes a serious matter.
There are men of fifty who still
ascend two steps at time, though
with most of them discretion would
be the better part of valor. But
there are not few men of fifty who
could climb one or even two sets Of
stairs a reasonable number of times
9 day without injury, if they did SC
with moderation. What if the art
of climbing has been lost2 1t can
be brought back, with judicious
training. But more likely neces.
sity will have to do the job. And il
the fuel commissioner has his way
the necessity is close at hand

DAIRY COWS AND SWINE AT FAIR.

Professor William Regain of the New
Jersey State Experiment station has
completed arrangements for an exhibit
of grade dairy cows at the Trenton
Fair for the purpose of arousing great
err interest in this line of stock. Among
other features will be Judgment con-
test to determine the probable pro-
duction of each COW during a definite
lactation period. Modern equipment
for the dairy will be placed in opera
ton. The exhibit promises to yield
exceptional educational advantages.
The swine show has been planned to
outdo that of previous years. Berk-
shires and Durocs will predominant.
One end of the new coliseum has been
wired hog-tight thus providing a con-
venient place to exhibit the various
classes. 1t Is especially desired that
local farmers make entries. Pork pro-
duction, after all, is measured by the
amount of meat actually dressed out.
Hence there will be special interest in

TO ENCOURAGE SHEEP RAISING,

So alarming has become the outlook
for serious shortage of wool next
year that the More Sheep More Wool
organization has arranged to have
three hundred breeding ewes on exhi-
bition and sale at the Trenton Fair,
which Will be held September 80 to o.
tober 4.
The imposslbility of obtaining suffi-
cient ships to bring the regular supply
of wool from Australia is one of thu
main factors bringing about the pres
ent condition of affairs The ewes OIL
exhibition at the Trenton-Fair will he
sold at reasonable prices. This should
prove a big inducement to farmers
who are DESTROYS of obtaining good
mating stock from reliable sources.

TRACTORS AT TRENTON FAIR
TO DEMONSTRATE IMPORTANCE

Never before have the farmers been
Interested in tractors and other power
equipment for farm work to the extent

The Countries of our allies across the

The directors of Trenton Fair, which
is TO he held September 80 TO October
4, kept this fact clearly in mind while
planning this years exhibit. AS re-
suit there will be tractor and farm
machinery exhibit which will surpass
those of any other year. The tractor
has proven the salvation of the Allied
countries In the terrible conflict raging
in Europe, and 1t has dcre more than

FAIR TO INTEREST ALL CLASSES.

Trenton Fair, which will be held
this year September 30 to October 4,
Is planned to not only interest the
countryman, but the city jewellers as
well. Not a few fairs are conducted
mainly with the idea that they are to
attract those interested directly In ag-
ricultural pursuits, and the attractions
they provide for others are of Sec
ondary Importance. Trenton Fairs
program has been balanced to sci
ence in this particular. The open air
attractions in front of the grand stand
each day are sufficient In themselves
to repay one for trip to Trenton.

We've shown them In the camps, and

Sam Lloyd was asked to make a
puzzle that would carry to his thou

LIBERTY LOAN message.
The puZzle-maker has chosen to
symbolic this message In the form of
a "Puzzllng Bomb" suggested by the
slogan Bonds Buy Bombs" and the
thought that when enough of our avia-
tors start dropping explosives behind
the Rhine the Kaiser and his crowd
will be ready to yell "kamerad."

Mr.. Lloyd says that if you can't
solve the puzzle still you have the op-
portunity of proving your wisdom and
patriotism by buying a Liberty Bond.
If you are clever enough to work 1t
out, then there can be no question of
your being smart enough to buy bonds

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Ever
Killing Dairy Cattle Fer Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked TO conserve their fiocks and
herds in order TO meet Europe's ire
uendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afserward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition TO
cooperate with the government in in
creasins the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
Iaan armies made their hi: advance
into France and then retrc4ted vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 10000
Le..ll-were driven behind lie German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain felds-tke cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One OF the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September.
SIG per 100 pounds; October, s1I-2S:
November and December. S16.0S: JAN
larry. $40. The eject OF these prices
was TO drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the humber of cattle as
veil rs the quality have shown al
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14.S07. 900 head Of
cattle in 1913. she now has only H.
34I.oO0. Z decrease Of 1916 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared 10 two
and oue-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced TO sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
IlinistrariOn that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the prOduc-
ton OF meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction OF cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

PROFITS IN EGGS PRODUCTION
Experimental Results at Indiana Sta
tion Show That There is Money
In the Business.

Considerable attention has been
given to the present lack Of profit In
egg production. But data gathered by
the Purdue Experiment station show
that there has been a good profit dur
ing the past year. despite the high
prices Of feeds.
Experimental results Mt that station
have shown that II takes six pounds Of
mixed feeds to produce dozen eggs
on the fnrIn. On this basis, with local
grain prices, It cost 9.8 cents for feed
TO produce a dozen eggs In 1014-15s
D3 cents In 1015-18. and 1877 cents In
i91617. During the same periods the
average income per dozen eggs was
1871 cents, POP cents and 3O.4 cents re-
spectively. This means a profit over
feed cost OF S.5 cents In the flrst-named
period; 100 cents In the second, and
14.8 cents in the third, or during the
past year.
Doesn't It look like there's still n

SPECIALISTS TO

Country Divided Into Divisions to
Handle Man Power.
SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Subject Which Agricultural Depart.
ment Has Given More Thought to
Than Any Other, According
to Secretary Houston.

The farm labor problem has pre-
sented and continues to present many
difficulties, Secretary Houston said the
other day. 1t is one Of the two or three
subjects to which the department has
given more thought than to any 9TH
ers, he said, not only since this coun-
try entered the war, but for many
months prior to that time. There has
been before the farmers the question
Of retaining n sufficient number Of
year-round skilled laborers and also
Of meeting the urgent needs at the
planting and harvesting periods. Farm
ers In the neighborhoOd Of cities,
where there has been great redirection
Of labor and capital. and also where
the cantonments and other special en-
terprises have been under way, have
been greatly embarrassed, Secretary
Houston said.
Labor Survey First.
Constructive effort, according TO the
secretary, is needed along several
lines, which may be briefly stated as
follows: A systematic survey of the
farm labor situation to ascertain the
possible needs Of farmers and to deter
mine ways Of meeting them, the pro-
motion Of fuller cooperation In the
utilization of labor among farmers In
the same community, the further de-
velopment of machinery for assisting
in the transfer Of labor, making avail
able labor which heretofore has not
been fully or regularly utilized, the
releasing OF men for agricultural pur-
poses as far as possible by replacing
them with women, the largest possible
production and the fullest use Of farm
labor-saving machinery.
To cooperate effectively In the farm
labor problem with the United States
department of labor, state councils
Of defense. state commissioners Of ag.
