COLOUED PEOPLE
TO Be ORGANIZED
FOR WAR WORK
Meeting Of COlOred citizens Of Mason
County Sunday to Organize That
They May Know Part They
Have Played.

The county committee on War
Work among the oolored people have
from time to time deferred meeting
due to conditions in this community,
caused by influenza epidemic which
prevented public meetings being held.
At a meeting of the general COM
mittee of the auxiliary of the Ken
lucky Council of Defense, held in
Louisville at the Board of Trade
building on September 2Sth. Among
other important business transacted
was the appointing of County War
Work Committees for the state. The
following persons were appointed for
War Work among colored persons in
Mason county Mr.. e. w. Chambers,
Chairman; Prof. Robert Davis, Rev.
Robert Jackson, Mr.. Adward Lewis,
DR.. w. c. Patton, Mr.. William M. Tay-
lor, Mr.. John Yates, Mr.. Jack Storey,
Mr.. ]. H. Bradford, Mr.. Henry j.
Fields, Mr. j. H. Hicks, Mr. Harrison
Anderson, Mr.. Henry Paynter, Mr.
Jack Higgins, Mr.. George Moore, e.
w. Lane, William Humphreys.
The object of the meeting Sunday
afternoon at . o'clock at Odd Fellows
Hall is to thoroughly organize the
War Work Committee that the color
ed people in the future may cooper
ate with all war activities in this COM
munity, that they may have at hand a
clear concise history Of all their
known efforts put forth from the be-
ginning to the final conclusion of the
war.
Each and every member should at
tend the meeting with a spirit that
will give the work the best that is in
them and be big, brave men ready for
mans job, that towers above little
things, that our county may perfect
an organization that will compare fa-
vorable in results with our more for
tunate brethren and race members in
other parts of Kentucky, where the
colored people have something like
two millions of dollars to their credit
for all war activities.
This meeting will so shape it's work
as to have committees on Conserva-
ton of Food, a committee on every
unit of the Red Cross, on Employment
and Labor, committee affecting
agriculture. A good committee on
educational work among the race.
When this organization is compile
ed it will become an auxiliary of the
County Council of Defense. hence it
is the duty of thinking and represen-
tative colored men and women of tile
county to help in its organization. that
they may fully cooperate with their
County Council of Defense in their
work with the Federal Food Admins
tration, the Federal Fuel Admins
tration, the Liberty Loan Committee,
the War Savings Committee, the Unit
ed States Public Service Reserve
Committee, the United States EN-
ployment Service and the several well
recognized war charities. There
doubtless will be later a big mass
meeting when all will be explained.
There will be something for all will
ing, outstretched hands to do. With
united effort as a Liberty loving
people in all laudable undertakenings
you will witness a mighty force to
leap into action.

CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK
Given-size and vigor Of Animal
Must Be Considered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
At least four-ffths of all dairy
calves are raised on separated milk,
grain being used to supply the fat re-
moved. Usually it pays well to feed
whole milk for about two weeks. at the
end of which time separated milk may
be used in part. The proportion of the
latter may be gradually increased until
at the end of the fourth week it is used
altogether. No fixed rules of feeding,
based upon age, can be given, because
the size and vigor of the calf must al
ways be considered. Calves especially
strong at birth may be put on separ-
ated milk entirely at two weeks of age,
but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf Is in vigor-
Gus and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days. from eight to
twelve pounds of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any cow or cows In
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this pur-
pose.
At the beginning of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
of one pound a day. The quantity Of
the daily ration may be increased two
to four pounds, depending upon the
vigor Of the calf. The quantity, how
ever, should be kept well below the
capacity of the calf; that is, when it
does not drink eagerly what is offered,
the quantity should be cut down.
At the beginning of the fourth week,
from one-half to three-quarters of the
milk ration should be separated milk,

| During the week the change should b.
continued until by the end of the weel
only separated milk is fed. With espe
ciaIly vigorous calves the change tt
separated milk may be made about q
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until is to 20
pounds day are given. 1t is usually
not economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon-
tinued depends upon its cost in rela-
ton to the value of the calf, its breed,
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
it reaches the age of six months and
the other feeds available at that time
must Also be taken into consideration
Six months is probably good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best of hay, silage, and a
good variety of grains are available.
the calf may be weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son of good, succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition for
weaving a calf, and when this exists
the calf can be weaned earlier than
when it is lacking.
When the calf is two months old,
and if it is carefully watched, sour
milk, whether whole, skim, or butter
milk, may be fed without harmful re-
suits, provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually. 1t is not well,
however. to alternate between sweet
ind sour.
