SILVER DOLLAR HAS
SHRUNk REMARKABLY
One Hundred Cents Now Will
Purchase Just Half Of What
It Purchased Ten Years
Ago

The purchasing power of the Am-
erican dollar has been gradually
shrinking for the last ten years, and
the war has only helped to shrink it
t little faster, according to an myesti-
cation OF food prices announced today
~ the bureau II labor statistics.
The comparisons taken over yer
iod of ten years show that in the
matter Of purchasing flour, a dollar in
1907 was equivalent to - cents today.
and that the dollar Of the national
capital which buys eggs in 1918 is
only as big as 40 cents in l907

What the Department of
Agriculture is Doing

With silage in the ration, dairy
cattle can be kept in the condition
If health common to animals on
pasture. The digestive system Of
a cow is well suited for the util-
izatton Of large quantities Of green
grasses and other coarse succu-
lent material. Silage is palatable,
and no other feed will combine 50
we'll with dry hay and little
grain to produce maximum, econ
om;cal results.
The preservation Of the mature
corn crop or the saving of one
which for any reason must be har-
~ested before maturity by placing
it in siI0s IS dcservedly increas-
ing in popularity. About 40 per
cent Of the total food material in
the corn plant is in the stalks and
leaves. When only the ears are
harvested nearly one-half Of the
crop is lost; on the otk9r hand
when the crop is put into the silo
the losses are very small. When
drought, frost, or insects attack a
field Of corn before it is ripe the
entire crop may be lost unless a
silo is at hand in which to pre-
serve it.
No feed crops can be so success
fully harvested under widely vary
ing conditions as those that are
put into the silo. Only in case of
drought or frost is it necessary to
rush the filling of the slio; rain
or dew ON the forage does not in
jure the silage.

YANKEE NATIONAL
GAME FOLLOWS
THE FLAG
Soldiers Turn to Baseball at
First Lull of Battle

E. 4. Bachelor sends the fol-
lowing interesting message from
the front:
Saturday morning the Ger
mans had held the position. Sun
day Afternoon American artillery
men were playing ball there. Thus
me Yankee national game follows
the flag.
I. might seem strange that SOL
diers after days and nights Of bat
tie, hours Of fatigue and danger,
should turn 10 baseball the very
first moment there came luI!, but
this has been the rule rather than
the exception all summer in
France.
Sometimes the play starts while
an occasional enemy shell is still
snrieking overhead, though the Of
fcers do not encourage that sort
Of reckless exposure to danger.
The explanation for the SOL
dters love Of play at the extreme
front is that his nervous system
has been 50 upset that he needs
action. He cannot go from the ex-
c:tement Of battle to the calm Of
| complete repose all at once. He
must let himself down gradually,
Just as men VINO have been work
ing in compressed air must go
through the air lock before it is
safe for them TO breathe the at
n0sphere at its normal pressure.
Baseball serves the purpose ad-
mirab.y. It gives them something
to do with their bodies while ma
ture is adjusting itself, and some
thing to think about that will en-
able them 20 forget the horrors
they have just passed through. It
is both a physica; and mental
tonic.
In the particular case mention
ed above a group Of artillerymen
were firing two big "165" rifles
placed beside road. The two
pieces, served with the regularity
Of clockwork by a part Of the bat
tery were harassinq the retreat
ing Huns. Inc men not actually
engaged in shooting sat and lay
around with nothing to do but
think. They were too tired and
excited after the advance to sleep.
A Y. VI. c. a. van came along
the road and one Of the men in il
called cut to ask whether an in
door baseball could be used there.
With one vioce the artillerymen
answered yes" The "Y" man
threw out a new ball and one Of
/ the soldiers caught it.
! Fist hitter," he yelled.
! Second hitter" yelled another.
pitcher" shrieked third. And
50 on until all the desirable places
were claimed.
A pick-handle answered for a
bat. In minute the game was in
progress. The batter stood be-
tween two guns and the felders
were spread out in front, so that
they got the full force Of the ter
rible blast when the pieces were
fired.
They paid no mere attention to
the ear-splitting crack of the guns
than to the buzzing of the flies
around the mess tent. War was
forgotten and they were just Am
erican boys at play, instead Of
men engaged in the business Of
Staying.
An officer saw the game and
smiled. He knew that the morale
Of that battery would go far over
par as a result of the play. 1t was
just the thing that they needed.
