in an open sewer in the north end OF
town Wednesday evening when he fell
into a gutter and was washed almost
10 the mouth OF the sewer before be-

the street is turned into a veritaole
torrent in mild weather with snow on
the ground.
The lad apparently became dizzy as
he peered at the swiftly moving water
from the curb!ng. The woman saw
him fall from a considerable distance
and jumped into the rushing water
near the mouth o. the sewer and pick
ed him out as the current brought him
to where she was standing. The lad
was carried into his home and IS none
the worse for his experience. He had
been carried about half block by the
water before rescued.

Nevada Feb. 1s-Under a recent
ruling Of the supreme court in a case

men who furnished material for the
bridges built in Story county during
1915, under the contract OF Paul ~
Kingsley will receive pay for the.E
work and material.
The Sioux county case vas almost
Identical in fact to the case when Is
being carried TO the higher courts mere
by Attorney Welty.
In 1915, Story county employed
Paul n. Kingsley to construct certain
bridges IN this county. The instruc-
tons to bidders provided that Kings
ley should execute bond 10 pfotec'

bond was furnished by 4 bonding house
and when kim sley, in the fall Of 1910

1T PAYS 70 FEED cows WELL.
Silase and Alfalfa or Else Grain With
Timothy Hay and Corn Slower.

If the dairy industry today Is to
| thrive, the big problem of feeding must
be solved said Prof II. II. Kifdee Of
the University of Minnesota in a talk
| before dairy cattle men at Ames. He
pointed out that feeding is as import
ant as labor or marketing in securing
a profit under present conditions.
Many men today are feeding nothing
but timothy hany and corn stover,
which Is not an adequate ration. a
COW needs a certain amount of food TO
maintain her body and an additional
amount to manufacture into milk. "A
sthousand pound cow requires for her
body maintenance a ration containing
= of a pound of protein, pounds OF
carbohy drates and l pound of rat.
Many cows are getting less fat ana
protein in their ration than Is required
for production.
For the production Of 20 pounds OF
per cent milk. the ration must con-
tain nutrients in addition to those re-
qured for maintenance to the amount
of los pounds Of protein. as pounds OF
carbohydrates and AZ pounds OF fat.
When only such roughage as timoth!
and slower is fed, the COW Is usually
short of protein and fat and Is forced
to draw on her body to supply the de-
ficiancy.
Alfalfa. clover hay and corn silase
contain more protein and plenty or
carbon ytirates, but unfortunately many
farmers have no silo and no legum-
nous hay" said Professor kildee.
Good dairy cows must be fed some
grain besides this roughage. The av-
craze COW of Iowa can be made to
produce from IS pounds to 80 pounds
more fat If fed enough iegume hays.

U.0F v. STUDENTS
LEARN WAR STUNTS

San Francisco, May 10.-The an
nouncement that the University of
Washington has fallen into line with
a number of ither institutions and in
cluded grenade throwing as one of
the regular field events mas renewed
the discussion as to the probable at
ter effects of the war on athletics.
There are followers of track and field
sports who express the opinion that
there NAV be a revision of the list
of events by the inclusion of more
utilitarian events to replace those of
no particular usefulness.
A former Princeton university ath-
lete in speaking of the matter said:
THE case of the hand grenade
throwing contest is good example
of what may follow. 1t would in all
probability supplant the shot t-put or
iavelin throw The shot-put is not
an all round developer in my opin-
ion. 1t builds only small portion
If the body. confined particularly to
The arm and shoulder muscles of the
hand used in hurting the missile. No
accuracy is required, distance being
the only thing tc be attained by the
contestant.
"Grenade throwing calls for both
distance and accuracy. 1t also would
oe a utilitariar event for the reason
shat thousands of young men would
be learning 20 throw missile which
has become one of the most impor-
tant weapons Of cffense and refense
in mdern warfar-."
"The hammer is another event
FOR which substitution might be eff
eected by borrowing from the list of
events used in military games. There
is nothing particularly spectacular in
events for the oplooker, such as is
afforded, for instance, blythe pole
present fell events. Javelin throw
ing as an event in the days when men
fought with bows and arrows and
spears would have served the same
purpose as grenade throwing today.
But the javelin now is obsolte."
1t is not likely that anyone warSs
to do away with the spectacular but
events which are neither spectacular
nor ofany use might be supplanted
with competition which furnished q
littls Of both these elemtns.

LYONS FAIR TO
Be HELD SOON

Lyons, France, April S.-(Corre
spondence OF the Associated Press. ,
The first piles have just been driven
for the foundation of the palace in
which tie Lyons fair will be held in
future. The building will cover thir-
ty acres of ground alongside the park
of the Tete dor On the banks of the
Rhone, and will accommodate 1000
exhibitors. The cost is estimated at
2OOOO,00O francs. This outlay is JUS
titled OH the ground that the gross re-
seipts from last years fair were l.
2OO,OUO francs.
The remarkably increased interest
of American firms in the ENTERPRISE
was the outstanding feature of last
years fair. They numbered 543, as
against 25 in 1916, and the United
States assed from sixth in Importance
among foreign exhibitors to the first
rank, with more than four times as
many exhibitors as any other foreign
country. The figures were: Ameri-
can, 543; English, 1870; Swiss, ia;
Spanish, SO; Italian, 40; Dutch, %.
Business approaching 500,OOO,O0O
francs was transacted. This evceeds
the business done at the Leipzig fair
of 1914 when the organizers announ-
ced a total of 3OO,OOO,OO marks.
The Palais de la Foire, as it will be
called will furnish office accommoda-
tions to exhibitors as well as stands,
warehousing facilities, rail transpor-
tation to dors of the palace and ample
provision for clearing exhibits via the
customs at offices on the grounds.
