NO BEER TO MEAN
MORE FOOD STUFFS
Ten Million Bushels of Bad
ger Barley 10 Be Fed to
Farm Stock as Re-
suit of Dry Law.

Madison. Wis.-Wbat will become
of the 10.OO0,O00 or more bushels of
barley that Wisconsin farmers sell an
nually to the maltsters, now that
December 1 has ushered in the new
era when beer cannot be brewed in
this country? Will these millions of
bushels of barley be an economic and
financial loss to Wisconsin farmers?
"No, says Prof. r. A. N core, head
of the work in agronomy at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin,. "There will be
no loss to the farmers, but rather
big gain. They can convert their
barley into milk, cream, cheese, beef
and pork instead of making it into
beer. AS soon as feeders of farm ami
mails and poultry find out the true
value of barley there will be immense
quantities used for feeding purposes.
''The farmer makes mistake in
selling the barley off his farm. For
every bushel of barley put into. the
market he is carrying Is cents worth
of fertility off his farm that could be
retained if he used the grain for feed
purposes"
An average Of 25,OO0,0OO bushels of
barley is grown in Wisconsin yearly,
or one eighth of the entire crop in the
United States. The southeastern Sec
tion of the state is the main barley
growing section, including the coun-
ties of Dane, Washington, Fond du-
Lac, Dodge, Sheboygal, Calumet and
Manitowoc. The area is being ex-
tended and several other counties are
producing considerable amounts.
Much of this barley is of the pedi-
greed variety, having been grown from
a single seed. 1t runs comparatively
high in protein content with total
of from IA to Is percent. The high
feeding value can be seen when bar
ley is compared with corn, which has
a total protein content of about per
cent.
In the western states the value of
barley for feeding purposes is more
generally known than here. Very lit
tie of the annual output goes TO the
mals6er. The barley in those states
is grown as hay and feed for horses.
1t is cut in the milk stage shortly
after heading. When it is used as hay
it is cured like timothy or blue
grass. When it is fed to the horses it
is either fed whole or crushed by roll
ling For hogs, the grain is soaked
or ground, and for other animals and
poultry it is used whole or ground
with peas, oats, or corn as mixed
feed.

bon. IT'S also said that bees sing all
night on Christmas Eve. But bees
are rather perpetual singers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail. in
northern England and Wales, that
the birds and beasts have some mys-
tic connection with the Nativity.
Hence, the farmers and landowners
purchase sheayes of oats from little
boys who sell them as our boys sell
holly. These bundles are placed in
convenient high places in trees and
fences, that the birds may partake.
The cattle, sheep, goats, and even
the pigs, are given double rations on
Christmas morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding
hospital, very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honors-a beribboned
cradle, padded basket, soft clothing,
solicitude and a bestoWaI of gifts,
and careful attention. This is done
in expiration Of the poor welcome
given to Wee Child of Bethlehem
twenty centuries ago, and a beautiful
thought it is.
In some provinces in France it is
considered bad luck to cross a strange
threshold on Christmas Day.

War Savings Stamps.

This month lends itself to the war
savings stamps campaign more readi
ly than any other for the reason that
it is q season Of gifts, and thus a pro-
portion of Christmas giving can be
devoted to war savings.
1t is realized that with peace there
is a consequent lull in the interest
that attaches to the sales of war Sc
curities. But TO the thinking person
this should not be so, for he will re-
fleet that the expenses of war must
be met in peace time as well as
during the conflict. Because the
conflict has subsidized it does not
follow that the expenses of conflict
are obviated.
In war we obligated ourselves to a
huge expense, and this must be met
In the purchase Of war savings
stamps we engage in the simplest and
easiest form of extending financial
aid to the government; simple be-
cause it is possible TO invest in small
amounts, and easy because the in
vestment does not entail hardship
upon the purse and still yields fair
return.
Each citizen should find it con
venient to make some special effort
to take war saving stamps upon the
theory that a small investment by
everyone will result in a tremendous
popular subscription.

First Christmas Observance.

The first Christmas celebrated
inside house on the American
continent was on December 25.
1913. Our Puritan ancestors fin
ished their first house at Plymouth,
Mass, having spent more than a
month in wandering about in
search of a place of settlement.
The company was divided into 10
families, and to each person was
assigned a lot for house and gar
den. 1t was not very cheerful
Christmas for the Puritans. All of
them could not be accommodated
inside the house, so that some of
them we're left out in the cold, but
the religious features of the day
were not forgotten, and it may be
said that the Babe of Bethlehem
was prayed to and sung to in a
most feryent manner.

NELSON WON SEAT
ON The DRY ISSUE
Wisconsin Banker Will Vote
for Prohibition. Hopes
for Place on National
Banking Board.

Washington Adolphus F. Nelson,
new member Of congress from the
Eleventh Wisconsin district, is the
only member from that state who
openly advocates prohibition. It was
largely due to his efforts that Burnett,
his home county, voted out saloons
and for many yelrs it was the only
dry county in tile state.
II have always been an advocate of
temperance, said Mr.. Nelson, land
while favored local option it was
simply as a means to an end. Local
option, | belieye, serves to educate
people to advantages of temperance
and will tend them to vote to make
state dry, That, in turn, will bring
about the day when the saloon and
the sale OF liquor viii be wiped out all
over the nation

camoufiage the voters They knew
me as an advocate of temperance and
as actually believed in it [ was
willing to stand or fall on that ques-
tion.
We had very close fight at the
primary, but defeated my strongest
opponent, Judge A. w. Sanborn, long
leader among Wisconsin Republic

that l sailed or sodght to sail under
false colors. | am free to follow die

MY platform also advocated uni

credits system and cooperation

SERBS OBSERVE
NATIONAL DAY
JUNE IF Is ANNIVERSARY OF
THE BATTLE OF
KOSSOVO

Today is the anniversary of the
battle of Kossovo, a great Serbian
holiday, and this year America and
the allied nations have Joined with
the Serbs in the celebration of their
national festival.
Kossovo day is observed this year
as a tribute to the spirit of a people
who did not die under five centur-
les of oppression. From the day in
1889, when the medieval Serbian
empire, standing between the Turk
and a divided and unready Europe,
fell in the battle of Kossovo, but in
falling famed the Turk so g%rievous-
ly that Europe gained a respite of
half a century in which to make
ready, no Serb has ever forgotten
the battle.
Kossovo day is the day on which
the Grand Duke Francis Ferdinand
was ass~assinated at Sarajevo in
1914, during the celebration there.
With the approval of President
Wilson, Serbian societies through
out the United States have today
been raising funds for the aid of
destitute Serbians and the work
here was under direction of the Gold
field branch of the Serbian National
Defense society. A committee was
ing the day has been soliciting
funds.

shot and killed himself in his Rec

MANY NATIONS
CELEBRATE 4TH
ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPEND-
ENCE DAY GREATEST IN
HISTORY

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July l.
July 4, the 142nd anniversary
of independence Day, will assume a
new and significant meaning. 1t not
only marks the anniversary of Ia
tional freedom, but it is the day
upon which the nation will renew it's
pledge to the cause of universal free
dom. The basis for the great cele-
bration of the foreign-born and
their son and daughters is contain
ed in a petition addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson by representatives of
% foreign nationalities.
Governors of all states and may
ors of all leading cities are cooper
ating in the plans for celebrations,
parades, ~pageants, mass meetings
and speeches on the part of Ameri-
cas- foreign-born to manifest their
loyalty to the United States and the
cause for which it fights. In grant
ing the petition of the foreign-born
for a national proclamation Presi-
lent Wilson has said:
"As July 4. 1875, was the dawn
of democracy for this nation, let us
IN July f., 1918, celebrate the birth
of a new-a greater spirit of democ-
racy-by whose influence we hope
and believe, what the signers of the
Declaration of Independence dream
ed of for themselves and their fell
low countrymen, shall be fulfilled
for all mankind"
The national capital will stage
Democracy triumphant" on July 4.
1t will be the biggest demonstration
yer undertaken in Washington.
Cuban officials will send a band of
500 from Havana to take part in
the pageant. A chorus of 500 Lith-
~uanians will come from Pittston, Pa.
The British government will send
It's tank britannia" and the Chi
nese minister will furnish a Chinese
glee club. Delegations from the
Red Cross, Y. M. c. A, knights of
Columbus, the Hebrew war organi-
cations, soldiers, sailors and marines
will take a prominent part, and a
chorus of 10000 voices will end the
days celebration with a program at
the national capitol building.
