BIG SUGAR BEET ACREAGE
TO INCREASE MEAT SUPPLY

Increased sugar beet acreage will
let us furnish more meat as we'll as
sugar to our hungry allies, according
to William Hislop, professor of ami
NAL husbandry at the State College
of Washington. In answer to recent
inquiries concerning the feeding
value Of sugar beet pulp and tops,
Prof Hislop says:
steers are annually fattened by
the thousands and sheep by the tens
of thousands on wet sugar beet pulp.
In one experiment, ton of this feed
was found to equal 200 pounds of
corn for fattening lambs.
For dairy cows, wet beet pulp, as
it comes from the factory, has a milk
producing value equal, pound for
pound, one-half that of corn silage.
In other words, $50 pounds of beet
pulp is equivalent to 100 pounds of
corn silage. So beet pulp at SO cents
ton is a good business proposition
for the dairy industry, the sheep
men. the beef cattle growers, and the
horse raisers.
Beet tops will best be put in the
silo with an equal weight of dry corn
fodder and sufficient water so that
the mass will pack we'll. These are
best suited for dairy cows and for
fattening steers and dry cows. Dairy
cows should not receive over so
pounds daily of the green leaves to-
gether with grain hay"

CAPTAIN II. Il. MITCHELL
ORDERED TO YALE
Former w. ). c. Military Instructor
Detailed tn Yale from Present
Position at Purdue

Captain II. E. Mitchell, who was
formerly commandant of the college
cadet corps, has been ordered to Yale
to take charge of the field artillery
corps of the university During the
year he was at Purdue he succeeded
in bringing the corps up to a stand
ard deserving commentator and the
university was loath to lose him at
that time.
The following article Is clipped
from the Purdue Exponent:
Captain H. E. Mitchell, who was
assigned as military commandant of
the Purdue cadet corps at the open
ing of school last September, has
been ordered by the war department
to report as early as possible at Yale
where he will have charge of the
field artillery corps of the university.
AS yet no successor has been named
Captain Mitchell has expressed his
regret at being taken from the work
here as he has just succeeded In
bringing the cadet corps to the place
where it is deserving favorable COM
mendation. After receiving the first
telegram, he requested that he be
allowed to remain at Purdue, since
his latest knowledge made him more
fit as an infantry drill head than an
artillery instructor. In reply he was
ordered to Fort Sill. Oklahoma, for
six weeks before reporting to assume
his new duties at Yale.
Captain Mitchell's work in the mil
itary field at Purdue has been strik-
ingly varied and practical The war
maps in the basement of the biology
building, on which are represented
the battle fields of Europe as we'll as
many devices of modern warfare. are
only one of the many efforts he has
made to interest the students and
educate them along the lines of the
great world war. Illustrated lectures
have also been given as a means of
widening the knowledge of the men
in military affairs.
Every man desiring the best of ad-
vice has turned to Captain Mitchell
before entering the service of Uncle
Sam and the pointers gained from
his store of knowledge and judgment
will be missed by the men of Purdue
after he has left.

TROUBLE FOR PLEDGE
S. A. f. Pledge Runs Afoul of Law
in Initiatory Process

Initiatory stunts imposed on their
pledges by Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra
ternity brought one of the pledges
in contact with the minions of the
law when he attempted to borrow a
cuspidor from the Artesian hotel
without first asking the perm ission
of the proprietor. The pledge was
sent down town in the wee hours of
the night to borrow cuspidor as a
part of his initiation stunt" The
Artesian hotel being the only place
of business open he entered the lob
by in order to secure the demanded
article from the night clerk. That
worthy not being in evidence and the
lobby being devoid of occupants, the
pledge took the cuspidor, intending
to return it the next morning after
he had satisfied the whims of his
brothers-to-be.
Immediately upon leaving the hos
telry, however, with the cuspidor
tucked under his arm, the pledge ran
squarely into the arms of the night
policeman, who, not versed in the
ways of fraternities, demanded an ex-
PLANTATION of the affair. Ts3 pledge
was ordered to report before Police
Judge Henry Monday, and upon the
statement of the mem bers who had
charge of the initiation that no harm
was meant, he was released from GUS
tody when the hotel proprietor saw
the joke and refused to press the
case.

ON INCOME TAX
MAY MEAN LOSS TO FARMER
Adams County Bank Asks the State
College for Farm Account Books

A federal income tax will be levied
on all persons who in the calendar
year 1917 had net incomes in excess
of $1,000 in some cases, and $4,000
in others. The tax on incomes in ex-
cess of the figures varies from two
per cent in some cases to four per
cent in others, or much higher In still
others.
Penalties as high as $1,000 will be
incurred by failure to make returns,
and as high as $4,000 and years
Imprisonment by making false re-
turns. Guessing" on government
income tax returns also often results
in loss to the farmer-he remembers
all his receipts and forgets some of
his expenses.
A bank in Adams county has re-
Gently asked the extension service,
State College of Washington, for 800
farm account books to be distributed
by the three mem bers of the local
clearing house BY using this book
a farmer will have an exact record
of all farm accounts, without con-
fusion with doctor bills, Christmas
shopping or trips to California, none
of which should be figured in farm
income estimates.

STORM
STRIKES C0[FAX
HAIL, WIND AND RAIN DID I'M
, MENSE DAMAGE IN WHITMAN
COUNTY SEAT YESTERDAY

COLFAX, Wash-A terrific hail
wind and rain storm struck this
city and the adjacent country at 5:15
this afternoon. The main streets and
alleys were flooded with water in five
minutes Large trees were uprooted
and fences torn away. Hundreds OF
chickens were drowned. Gardens were
beaten flat by the hail. Reports from
outside the city are that small cloud
burst struck. The rainfall was eight
tenths of an inch in Is minutes Old
timers who have lived here for 80
years say that it was the heaviest
storm of hail ever seen in this region.
Hail stones varied from the size of
peas to large marbles and were piled
in some places two inches deep. Sew
eral awnings were broken off store
fronts. The streets are covered with
mud at several of the main corners.
The Washington Water Power com
pany plant was put out of commission
by broken wires and fallen poles and
the city was in darkness.
No fatalities are reported although
a large number of autos were cought
in the-country roads during the storm.
The area swept by the storm was
about five miles wide by 80 miles long.
Word received here tonight from
Oakesdale was that the storm also
struck there. Motorists who were
caught in the downpour some miles out
of the city said on arriving here that
in their opinion grain suffered no dam
age. This was also the opinion, of
William Sutherland, manager of the
Interior Warehouse company here.

GENERAL CR0WDER REVIEWS
WORK OF FIRST YEAR OF WAR

day the new men of Fl are being reg
istered and must be speedily classi-
fled. On the first of next month the
local and district boards will be in
vested with the still further respon-
sibilty of preventing idleness and of
unproductive employment which is
not effective to the nation in the
emergency. Some boards will review
their work and correct those in quail
tiles which have been unavoidable in
so tremendous an undertaking.
The nation, however, with full con-
fidence in the men who have per-
formed these great tasks in the past,
faces the future without foreboding.
The splendid work of your local and
district boards and of the other great
volunteer army of assistants has
filled us with admiration. They have
been tried and found true, and so
long as this war may last our people
are happy in the complete assurance
that this great organization will not
fail the nation.

guns have fallen into their hands.
loss of some German guns and asserts
their forces have taken at least $50
allied guns and more than $4,000 pris-
oners.
The Germans again have endeav-
ored to force the Americans from
positions captured northwest of Cha
teau Thierry, but again met with de-
feat and the loss of numerous men.
The attack was delivered between
Bouresches and the Belleau wood, but
nowhere was the enemy able to gain
his objectives.
American officers and men to the
number of 108, fighting on the Toul
sector, have been awarded the French
war cross for bravery and fidelity.
Aside from Macedonia, the opera
tions in the other theaters of the war
continue of minor character, con-
sisting mainly of mutual lombard
ments and patrol encounters. In
Macedonia the French troops have
captured territory to a depth of near
ly nine and half miles over an eleven
mile front, occupying eleven villages
and taking 80 of the enemy prisoner.
French Take Initiative
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
F RAN CE.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The Germans have not re-
covered from the severe blow they
, received on the French left flank,
where throughout the night and this
morning the battle quieted down,
giving the allies full opportunity to
establish themselves strongly.
Further to the east, around the CEN
ter of the line, the French took the
initiative, delivering a number of
small and successful counter attacks.
AS consequence the village of Nell
cocq and the important height of
Croix Ricard were retaken. The
allies are engaged in clearing the vii
lage and picking up prisoners hidden
in cellars and dugouts who are being
sent to the rear.
Probably for the purpose of max
ing the allies move their reserves to-
ward the right bank the Germans
started big diversion in the vicinity
of the forest of Villers- Cotterets.
The enemy progressed slightly and OBJ
tained a foothold in Coeuvres, but this
does not improve his position.
Five German divisions participated,
two of which had just reached the
battlefield. The attack extended along
front of about four miles but met
such opposition from the French,
who fought with stern determination,
that the Germans apparently re-
nounced their effort.

MUST USE LESS
SUGAR IN IDAHO
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
MARTIN RECEIVES INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM STATE

The use of sugar in Idaho is to b.
curtailed beginning at once. All the
sugar needed for canning fruit may
be had, but it cannot be used fol
other purposes. Two pounds in towr
and five pounds in the country will
be the limit Of amounts to be pur-
chased. The following telegram
from State Food Administrator Bick-
nell to County Food Administrator
Martin is self-explanatory:
"H. D. Martin, Chairman of United
States Food Administration,
Moscow, Idaho.
Developments in the sugar situa-
tion necessitate the immediate limita-
ton of sugar sales for family use TO
town consumers to two pounds and
sales to country consumers to five
pounds, Please republish and make
these regulations effective at once.
Sugar regulations for home canning
remain the same until close of can
ming season. Issue order Immediately
to all manufacturers, drug stores, ice
cream parlors, soft drink dealers and
all other dispensers to discontinue
manufacture and sale of all sherbets
and water ices and limit to ten, and
preferably less, the number of syrup
flavors used. Permit 100 per cent
sale on ice cream, but request vehders
to use substitutes for sweetening
whenever possible instead of sugar."
