save any money. She had written all
the expert stenographers who had ap-
piled to her for advice that they should
keep their jobs In Nebraska. That, in
deed, the most patriotic thing that Ne

was "Just crying for stenographers."
She was coming back to raise a garden

the entire country was placarded with

In keeping number of very efficient

vinces me that pacifist in war work

ON TO BERLIN!

of the viqiIantea,

Our boys "over there" write home as

on Berlin some day. Is this merely a
delusion encouraged In them to keep

as that of the Crusaders and we ought
not to dream of thwarting them by
diplomatic action.

The only place where we can help

the guilty individuals or by straight

The Pacifist as a
War Worker
By MINNIE BOYER DAVIS
Of The Tigfi0nfes

Some were pacifists before the war.
Some Of these have changed while 9TH
rrs-well, for instance, my friend-or
rather my former friend. Miss B. She
never did believe In war. When Bel
gium was invaded and the Hun fe-
rociously bayoneted bnbies and violat-
ed little girls she still refused to be-
lfeve in war. To some of us war SEEM
ed the most horribly apparent fact In
the world, but still she did not believe
in It, She was pacifist; and paci-
fist, as near us / can tell, seems to be
enc who has resolved to ignore war
as long as the war does not hurt them.
She had been for years, and is still. n
state employee. and Mt times she has
been social worker, one of those we'll
meaning persons who believe that one
part of society is qualified to reach
down and lead by the hand certain
more unlucky parts of society to show
them the way they should go.
Up to the last minute of the last
hour before the war vote was taken my
former friend maintained that we had
nc cause for war and there was no
possibility that we would ever be in
the war. Just what went on In her
mind when we took up our stern task
OF checking the advance of the Hun
cannot guess and she has never told.
I wondered If she would stick to her
principles and fight for them. l no.
ticed that she bought bonds and SUBJ
scribed to the Red Cross. She may
have been one of those who would give
to the Red Cross because In doing so
she was not helping the war. Other
pacifists have said ns much. but even
their tainted" money will help.
At Red Cross Headquarters.
Later learned that my former
friend had gone to Washington, spend
Ing her vacation as clerical helper In
Red Cross headquarters. Then l be-
lieved that she had been regenerated
and was no longer n paciflst. We had
been pretty stiff about the time war
was declared owing to our different
views, but ! now felt free to write and
tell her to find place for me to work
also. Her reply amazed me. She wrote

dressed in their new winter clothes.
They are anticipating the snow with
cozy furs and coats and bright hats
and bonnets, destined to make them
look like gay winter flowers against a

coats are in light tones and the shoes

Rose, bright blues and the brown and

selves a liberal sprinkling of red tones

Getting Into the
Service
i.
By ROY MASON
of The Vigii1nfes

The doctor said no with all the final
ity with which our medical men ex-
amIning candidates for the army can
pronounce this word. The rejected
candidate turned away, profoundly de-
jected, his mind In chaos because all
his plans were upset. He was over
draft age, but he had been SO confi-
dent that he could pass. He was OF
no use In this war. he reflected bit
terly. He might as well be cripple
or blind for all that he could do to
help.
1t had seemed so simple to pay all
his debts, arrange his affairs, put his
surplus Into Liberty Bonds and the
odd change into War Savings Stamps
and then enlist. And now they
wouldn't have him. All on account
of m infinitesimal heart murmur.
"There's no use sending one man to
the front whom two will have to carry
back," the doctor had said decidedly.
As he slouched down Michigan ave-
nue. in Chicago. dropping in mind and
body. he noticed button on the coat
lapel of a six-fOot stranger. 1t was not
Liberty Bond button, nor Red
Cross button. The stranger stopped to
gnze out over Lake Michigan and he
managed to read ",yar Camp Commu-

looked up saw him reading, and gave
him quick appraislng glnnce.

by the doctor pricked up his ears.
"What do you dO?" he wanted to
know.
The six-footer grinned.
"Kind of long story" he began.

 From this table it will be seen that in this experiment kafir and feterita proved to be of equal value pound for pound for fattening swine, the ad- vantage being slightly in favor of the feterita.
 Both kafir and feterita produced larger daily gains than corn. The feed consumed for one hundred pounds of gain was also greater in the corn lot than in either the kafir or feterita lots, so that even though the kafir and feterita were more expensive per cwt they produced cheaper gains.
 When kafir and feterita can be pur- chased at the same or lower price than corn, they can be substituted economically for corn in the ration fer fattening swine.
 Kafir and feterita should always be ground before feeding as the grains are small and hard, and therefore difficult to masticate.
 For best results, tankage should be fed with l1afir and feterita as well as with corn, as they are both highly earhonaceous and therefore deficient in bone and muscle building material.
