No More Kisses for Yanks;
French Now Shake Hands in
Comforting Croix de Guerre.

Diplomats among the marines in
France have eliminated one of the hor-
rorS of being hero. the Washington
Times states. The announcement was
casually made in a report from marine
corps headquarters, describing The
winning and award of Is French war
crosses TO members Of the American
legion, known TO the Germans as devil
dogs. To be blunt about it, the news
is this: NO longer do French officers
kiss on each cheek an American who
has won the croiX de guerre. Instead
the officer comforting the honor pins
the bronze decoration to the left breast
pocket Of the hero and then shakes his
right hand.
AS yet the official files of the marine
corps have not disclosed the name Of
the diplomat who brought about the
change In French tactics in dealing
with American heroes. 1t Is under
stood, however, that he is an officer Of
TO mean rank, who lately returned to
the United States.
According to the information at
hand, the first occasion upon which
the French adopted the Misunderstanding
tactics of the American as an express
sion of esteem was in May, just a few
weeks after company of marines
sent In to relieve detachment of their
pals had driven Off storm battalion
of Germans who had tried to stampede
them.
The men were ordered to section
of woodland to receive their hard-won
war crosses. A blare Of trumpctS
greeted them. Then, after Il few words
of commentator, the French officers
approached the Americans and pinned
the medals. Some Of the young heroes
were ready to turn the other check
but to their surprise they found them
selves being shaken warmly by tho
hand.
1t was no surprise when the Amcri-
cans at the end of the ceremony gave
q cheer, and strong, lusty one, too.

WEED MORE DAIRY PRODUCTS
supply Should Be Maintained to Help
Supply Increasing Demands Of
European Allies.

In making this recommendation In
its supplementary production program.
the United States department of agrl-
culture points ont that dairy products
are essential to the well-bcing of the
nation and that the dairy cow produces
more food on less feed than any other
of our domestic animals.
Before the war the United States re-
ccivcd dairy products from about TWEEN
ty foreign countries; now these Sup-
plies have been largely stopped and 1t
has become necessary not only To re-
place them Mt once hut also to export
large quantities. In 1911, for instance,
we imported Approximately 64,0O0.000
pounds more of dairy products than
we exported, not Including fresh milk
and cream. In 1917 we exported

DAIRY cow IS ECONOMICAL
Animal Will Convert Hay, Grass and
Cornstalks Into Milk In Cheap
est Manner Possible.

Two facts stand out prominently az
reasons for the increased production
and use Of milk. The first is that milk
as purchased on the market usually
supplies food material together with
the growth-producing elements more
economically than either meat or
eggs. The second reason is that the
dairy COW Is the most economical pro-
Queer Of animal food. One great law
of food conservation Is to turn In
edible feeds into edible foods In the
cheapest possible manner. The dairy
COW will utilize coarse materials, In
edible to humans-such as grass,
cornstalks and hay-and will turn
them into milk. Other farm animals
also are converters OF coarse rougflage
into edible foods, but are not so eff
cient as the dairy cow.

Citizens Urged to Observe
Six Rules

Every patriotic citizen is expected
by the council of national defense,
Washington, to cooperate with the
merchants as follows:
l. Spread Christmas shopping over
the months of October, November and
December. Do not wait. Start now.
2. Shop during the early hours Of the
day.
3. Buy useful gifts (this does not ap-
ply to toys).
4. Send before December 5 all Christ
mas packages which must go by mail
or express.
5. Avoid giving bulky articles, II
they must be sent by mail, freight or
express.
6. Carry home your purchases when
possible, and do not request special
deliveries.
The above rules must be carried out
so that man power will be released for
war work and transportation not con-
gested.
These rules are the outcome Of All
agreement between the merchants of
the country and the war industries
board. The commercial economy adj

320,OOOOOO pounds more than we I'm.
ported.
The total amount Of milk produced
In this country in 1917 Is estimated to
be S4,G11 $50, 900 pounds. Large losses
occur and the greatest is through the
failure fully to utilize skinned milk
and buttermilk for human food. These
products have all of the food value
of whole milk except the fat. A given
quantity Of them would produce seven
times as much food value in the form
of cottage cheese as they would pro-
duce In the form Of meat If fed to live
stock. The possibilities Of increasing
the supply Of food by the fuller utili-
cation of these by-products are enor-
nous. In brief, there should be bet
ter utilization Of skinned milk and
buttermilk, both as food on the farm
and through the market.
Better results In dalrying may be
secured by proper sanitation and care
In producing and handling milk; by
better care and utilization OF pastures /;
by raising on the farm adequate sup
plies Of roughage, particularly legumes
and silage, to take the place of grains
30 far as Is practicable; by preserving
for dairy purposes all the hlghproduc-
ing animals and eliminating those that
are inefficient; By feeding according
to production so as to secure the
greatest yield Of milk with the least
quantity of feed, which necessitates
O record Of production Of individual
cows; by the full utilization in the
community Of good bulls throughout
the entire period Of their usefulness
and to their full capacity, and by the
prompt control Of disease.

Property Conffscated.

The revolutionists under Madero,
Orozco and other leaders killed the
Terrazas cattle for food, burned his
ranch buildings and looted his stores
and warehouses. Then Francisco villa,
acting as commander in the north for
General CarranZa, issued decree con-
flscating all Of the Terrazas holdings,
including the herds, lands and personal
property. General Terrazas was forced
to fee from Mexico before Villas adj
vance on Chihuahua City from Juarez.
He made the long trek to the border
at Ojinaga with the fleeing federal col
umn. He never returned to Mexico.
July % last General Terrazas ceie-
brated HIS eighty-ninth birthday an
niversary, surrounded by his ten sons,
seventy-f1ve grandchildren and many
more relatives. He maintains an office
downtown, where he attends TO his pri-
vate business daily and keeps in close
touch with cattle and market condi-
lions.
It Is his dream to be permitted to
return to his native land with suffi-
cient guarantees to allow him to begin
over again to re-establish the Terrazas
fortune.
