THE WAY TO VICTORY

Let US hold our heads up. Let us
speak OF the war as our own per-
sonal responsibility. Let US put out
our flags. Let US in all ways that are
not inconsistent with the needs OF
the government keep our lights bur.
ming and our music playing Let us
not be ashamed to be seen with a
smile OIL our faces. Let us save in
all possible ways, not gloomily but
proudly and chaerfully as BELTS a
great people who are saving money
to save human life. While keeping
firmly before US the deep purposes
for which, we have entered this war
let us make up our minds that it
can not be won by solemn, plodding.
Let us realize that it requires the
generation of that great mass enthu-
siasm, that deep consuming fire of
ambition and achievement which has
characterized the American people
in all their struggles in the past. Let
us realize that enthusiasm and war
are not inconsistent terms. Let us
go into our battles here at home
with a cheer on our lips and with
our flags flying. just as Our boys in
France go over the top onto the
battlefields Of liberty-Leslie's.

The golden desert and the wind

Draw the soft curtains from the mar

Here the green leaves may stop and

Gray poplar boughs grow grayer in

Softly the moon mounts. gracious

Shall drink the wind on bleak and
lonely mesas.
Give me the tender patio tonight.

CAUSES FOUND FOR
VARIATION IN MILK.
There Is Tendency for Milk to Be-
come Richer in Cold Weather
Than in Summer.

The University of Missouri college
of agriculture has been Investigating
the causes Of variation in the compost
ton of milk for several years. This
subject is of Importance to the manu-
facturer of dairy products, to the pro-
Queer and of special significance in
connection with the use of milk as
food for infants. The college has found
several causes for variation in milk
not recognized before.
It is often observed that milk is
poorer in fat in summer and becomes
richer again in the fall, and farmers
have generally assumed this to be due
to the watery condition of grass as
compared with the dry food received
during the winter. Tests have shown
that the cause Of this is not grass
feeding, but the temperature. For
some reason there is tendency for
the milk to be richer in fat during
cold weather and to become poorer

Warship Captain Lonely, Yet
Rules With Aut0cratic SWAY

Tradition and the exigencies of his
position impose lonely sort of exist
ence on the captain of a warship, says
the London Mail. Amid the dense pop
ulation of the floating steel island over
which he rules with autocratic sway
the captain lives life Of solitude.
Other officers, according to their
rank, may enjoy the good comradeship
of the wardroom or the merry round
Of the care-free, fear-free, irrespOnsi-
BILE gunroom. But for the captain these
are things Of the past. In his apart
ments astern he lives in almost royal
isolation, with a sentry con the door,"
and surrounded by such difficulties Of
approach as hedge about king.
Within certain limits he is "A king
more autocratic in his tiny realm than
are many monarchs who wear their
crowns ashore. Part of the quarter
deck is his royal plaisance. In harbor
| the starboard side, at sea the weather
side of it are reserved for him by ages
old custom. No one else may tread
there while the captain remains ION

SlDELlNES ON FARM
BECOME PROFITABLE
Diversification of Right Kind Will
Afford Satisfactory Income
to Farmers.

The sidelines on the farm may often
become more profitable when the cap
ital and labor In production are con-
sidered than the general crops. One
reason that some farmers are In debt
and have no cash to pay running ex-
penses is because they do not have
enough sidelines.
It may be safe to warn men in some
occupations not to "get too many irons
in the fire." but such advice to faNn-
ers is generally unnecessary, says
Farm and Ranch. It is possible Of
course, for farmers to plant more than
can be cultivated, and many do it, yet
the fact remains that Investigation Of
the right kind and practiced in the
right way is the safest kind Of farm
ing.
This is the time to have several side
lines and one or more strong money
crops or animals for the cash income.
With poultry, garden truck crops,
fruits, ETC., farming will become a
safer business. That is what it must
do if it is to afford a satisfactory in
come for farmers Of today.

when the weather becomes very warm
regardless Of the feed consumed.
A second factor of Importance as
influencing the richness Of milk is the
fairness Of the COW at time Of fresh
ening. A cow high In flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk
sometimes than would be the case were
she thin.
This knowledge is now made use Of
by every breeder Of dairy cattle who
desires to make the largest possible
record for milk and butterfat produc-
ton. Another interesting discovery is
that when q cow is underfed that tenn
pOrarily she gives richer milk rather
than thinner, as might be expected.
This is Of great importance In c0nAec-
ton with milking tests Of cows and q
failure to understand this effect has re-
suited in wrong conclusions from many
experiments conducted with sows in the
past

The American Face.

The face of the pure American
stocks generally is high and oval, says
Doctor Hrdlicka, who explains that in
the case of the womenfolk it some
times leaves the impression of narrow
ness. In both sexes he found the fore
head we'll developed, and incidentally
a source of pride to many who ac-
cepted this as a physical mark Of in
tellectuality. There was a prevalence
of long noses with medium breadth.
In both sexes was found a medium
breadth of mouth, its averages ap-
proximating those of the French.
The old American is likewise dis
tinguished by long ears, longer than
those of any of the immigrants at Ellis
island except the British. Doctor
Hrdlicka says the face of the original
Americans has retained it's length in
the last generations, but it's breadth
is diminishing and the jaws are grow
ing smaller.

GERMANS RESENT NAME HUN

How bitterly the German resents the

news that Flight Sergeant Alexander
Boyd of the Royal Flying corps has
been sentenced by his German captOrs
to one year Imprisonment for applying
this insult to his guards.
The Cologne Gazette learns from its
Berlin correspondent that this avia-
tor was shot down In the North sea
by German torpedo boat and forced
to sit idly in his ruined but floating
machine while the Prussian rowboat
came to take him off. He sought to
dispatch carrier pigeon from his
plane, hearing the message, "ShOt
down at 6 40. Picked up by the Huns"
The Germans captured tn. pigeons

ingenious Defense Scheme
Was Fertilization of Coast
To Derange Ships compasses

One Of the most unique defensive
measures ever proposed to the United
States government was the fortifica-
ton of the coast with giant magnets
that would derange the compass of
any hostile ship that might attempt
surprise attack, says writer. That
was back in the nineties, and as the
suggestion came from a well-known
ohcer OF the engineer corps it was
decided to test the theory. According
~ huge magnet was built near New
York city, by means of two cannon, q
ton of steel rails and a few miles of
insulated wire. The rails were laid
across the butt of the cannon to "con-
nect'' them and the wire was wound
about their firing end. When the cur
rent from big dynamo was turned in
to this magnet it developed surprising
power.
Although it would not draw the nails
out of passing ships, as the lode stone
| mountain did to the vessel of Sinbad
the Sailor, it was guaranteed by it's
inventor to disarrange the compass of
| any ship within six miles. If the coast
was ever attacked by an enemy fleet
under cover of darkness or fog, this
officer argued, the magnet would SO
completely upset the compasses Of the
enemy that his ships would be more
likely to run ashore than to make 9
! successful attack
Records are unobtainable of just
how far this assertion was borne out
by the experiment. In any event. the
magnet was built and remained intac
| for some time. But there was no at
tempt to extend the plan, and ulti
mately it went into the discard, thu
marking the end of an ingeniou!
scheme which seemed to have some re
markable possibilities
