ALLIES LOSE STOCK.

Comparative losses in livestock by
the warning and neutral nations OF
Europe and the general effect on their
meat supply may be judged from fig
ures announced by the United States
Food Administration.
As regards meat, the Central Pow
ers were much better prepared for the
war than the Allies. Although the
Allies possessed a greater total num-
Der Of meat animals, the Central Pow
ers had AZ per cent more per capita
This advantage amounted to 50 ami
mails Of all classes per 100 population.
Due apparently to acquisition of an
imals by conquest, Germany has not
slaughtered her home supply Of live
stock as rapidly as otherwise would
have been necessary. There is now
practical exhaustion OF animals in
Belgium, Serbia and Rumania as a
result Of invasion, according to in
formation from very reliable sources.
In total animals the Allies have de-
creased their herds and flocks 45.-
duced hers about 100000 head
only slightly more than a third as
many. The figures include cattle,
sheep and hogs. Neutral nations
show a total net reduction amounting
to 1,412,OOO of these animals. The
European loss thus exceeds GO, 900, 600
head without taking into considera-
ton Austria, Turkey and Russia
which would, undoubtedly, bring the
total to over 10O,0pO,OOO.
Considering the poor r~ndition Of
the animals still alive and he report
ed reduction in live weight, the pos
sible meat resources of Europe are
obviously still further reduced.
The total number of cattle, sheep
and hogs now in the United States is
about 187,GOO,OOO, according TO best
estimates, which makes a striking
comparison with the European deple-
ton of 100000 animals. Briefly,
it appears that Europe has already
lost considerably over half as many
meat animals as there are in the Unit
ed States today.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES
By Chas. II. Trapp.)

Topeka, July 1.-The superinten-
dent of one. of the big railroads run
ming out of Topeka said this week
that travel had actually increased on
his line since the raise in fares. He
also said that in every town along the
route the jewellers were doing a bet
ter business than ever before. He
dopes it out the working people are
getting higher wages, and not being
in the saving habit, they buy what APP
peals to them. This was the exper-
fence in England in the early years
of the world war.
Good roads enthusiasts are taking
a turn. On Tuesday of this week q
hundred residents of Burlington
Kansas, are going to make a boost
trip to Topeka for the purpose OF
assuring to themselves the Capital
Highway, that is to be marked from
Omaha to Tulsa. Leroy and Waiver
ly are also DESTROYS of getting this
highway and a week later they viii
make booster trip to Topeka It i.
likely that the enthusiasm engendereC
will spread until the good roads ides
becomes embodied and that boil
routes will be hard surfaced.
Citizens of Kansas who visit the
state house viii no longer be in dan
ger of crippling themselves on the
state house pavement. When the
legislature provided for the rebuild
ing of the east wing it also laid aside
a fund to take care of the worn-out
pavement and this week the drive:

out in high class, smooth asphalt.

tues IS causing no privation to Amer
leans In the opinion of the Food Ad-
Tninistration the better acquaintance
with other foods IS going to be a. last
ing benefit.
The potato, for instance, is a food
that has been slow to gain here the
recognition it deserves, yet IT has val
liable qualities that are lacking IN
some o four most popular articles of
diet. The best wa yto get at the real
value IS to see what Is let when the
water is taken out. A potato of good
keeping quality contains about 81
per cent, of dry matter, real food.
Most of this is retained in potato flour
which consumers are now using IN in
creasIng quantities. The flour gives Us
the right basis On which to compare
the potato with wheat
DR.. LeClerc of the Bureau of Chem
istry, Department of Agriculture says
that natural potato -four is worth
cents q pound when wheat flour is
worth cents. Most of the food in
this -four is a highly digestible form
of starch but the superiority to other
-four 5 due to the high percentage of
alkaline salts which help to keep the
/ blood alkaline and neutralize the ac-
ide of meat.
Potatoes baked or boiled Sin the

prof coverings all the food value that
is found in the flour; but cooked in
any form, from the old standby
mashed to the fanciest inventions

dy builders than most of US have ever
imagined.
While We are saving wheat the
question of proper nutrition can be
fully solved by the use Of the cheap

KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE

Manhattan, Kansas, July 1. The
attempt at profteering on the part
of threshermen in some counties in
Kansas is keenly resented by the
farmers, according to reports received
by the agricultural college.
While IN many counties, prices are
seasonable, in others q price of ten
cents is being asked where farmers
furnish labor, and twenty cents where
| the threshermen furnish the labor.
This is considered very high. In Ok
lahoma the maximum price for
threshing wheat is 7 cents where the
| farmer furnishes the labor, and II
cents where the labor is supplied by
| theh threshermen. These prices have
been declared the official maximum
prices by the Oklahoma Council of
Defense.
The wheat in many Kansas coun-
ties is heavier than the Oklahoma
wheat and therefore more bushels
can be threshed day. AS the cost
of labor is approximately the same IN
both states, the threshermen in Kan
sas charging these high prices Will
make larger profits than will the
| threshermen IN Oklahoma and the
Kansas farmers will pay more to have
their wheat threshed than the Okla
| homa farmers will pay.
For the soldiers and the allies of
| the UnitedsStates seven hundred Kan
sas boys and girls are producing meat
under the supervision Of Paul K.
Incl, assistant club leader in the divi-
sion of extension, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"Many Of the children are getting
a start in a profitable business" said
Mr. Incl. zone boy purchased a pure
bred registered Poland China gilt for
$50 lst Januay. Five sow pigs were
narrowed in March. Four Of these
were sold at the age of eleven weeks
for $50 This amount covered the
original cost of the SOW and the tOtal
cost of feed given her and the pigs
The boy has the sow and one pig as
