Mr.. May is also familiar with the
restaurant business and will con-
tinue it, but will add fine line of
confectionery, ice cream, soda,
lunches, etc, taking advantage of
the fine display windows and ex-
cellent location. He will also
manufacture candy in wholesale
way for the other local dealers.

Camp Funston Boys
Like Their Sweaters

1t is cold at Camp Funston.
The thin columns of mercury in
the camp thermometers have
shrunk like an O. ID shirt after
trip to the laundry-and as any
soldier will assure you, that's
SOME shrinking. Several inches
of snow have given the city of
barracks quite decorative ap.
pearance, and piercing cold wind
whistles down the hill and thru
the camp streets and makes the
camoutlaging of the board roofs
quite unappreciated. In short a
rather belated winter seems to be
making up for lost time.
The cold snap has shown one
thing. These boys of the S9th
division are hard, trained to the
minute, and physically fit. In
weather which, as civilians, would
have sent them scurrying for
shelter, they are carrying on the
ordinary business of the camp.
Motor truck drivers on whom the
transportation of the cantonement
depends, guards, on post at all
hours of the day and night, are on
duty as usual, and no suffering
is reported. Many patient
knitter of helmet, a sweater or
muffler is being mentally blessed,
however, these nights It's no fun
doing sentry duty at 3 a. m. with
the temperature where it is, and
woolens and knitted things are
life savers indeed. 1t will have to
be bad, bad weather in the trenches
to make a graduate of a winter at
Funston uncomfortable.
The cold is all outside. That
was provided for months ago when
the huge heating system with its
19 central plants, and its overhead
pipes, strung on poles like tele-
graph wires, was installed. 1t
has certainly proved itself this
time. With plenty of coal on hand,
and husky arms behind the
shovels, it has kept the barracks
far warmer than many city homes.

shot through the abdomen, anc
Corporal Charles Hegwood is in
the Idaho Springs lookup to await
the outcome of Cheesborough' s
injuries.
The shooting occurred at $3.50
Friday afternoon following an
alteration between the two color
ed soldiers. The bullet entered
Cheesborough's abdomen and
plowed its way along compara-
lively close to the surface, almost
coming out of his side. DR.. Ash
baugh was quickly summoned and
gave the wounded man prompt at
tention at the camp. The bullet
was quickly located and an incision
was made, making its removal
easy.
Cheesborough is resting easily,
and unless it should develop later
that the intestines were punctured
he will recover.
At the city Jail Hegwood in
formed the Siftings that bad blood
had been brewing for some time
between Cheesborough and him
self, and he had reasons to fear
Cheesborough. The corporal gave
Cheesborough orders not to leave
the camp, but is said to have given
the order in an offensive way.
When the corporal saw Chees-
borough getting his gun he asked
him what he was doing, whereupon
tne latter SAID he was going on
duty. The corporal told him he
didn't need togo on duty just yet
as it was ten minutes yet before
his time to go on duty. Hegwood
says the soldier then acted like he
was loading his gun ready to shoot,
whereupon he ordered the man to
put down his gun and fred one
shot in the floor to scare him. In
q tussle which followed Hegwood

GIVE cows BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used by Animals in Quite Differ
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
suits are always secured and the most
economic use of feeds is obtained by
providing a balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes of nutrients in feeds, prOteinS,
carbohydrates and fats, are used by
different animals in quite different pro-
portions. A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires, Is called balanced
ration. When enough of each of these
classes is fed there is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount of
one class of nutrients. Protein Is used
by the animal chiefly to form the mus
Giles or lean flesh of the body, the hair,
the horns, the hoofs and the Casein in
the milk. The carbohydrates and the
fat are source of energy in the body,
as we'll as that Of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising of q balanced ra-
ton Is not difficult If one has at hand
tables which show the dlgestible nutri-
entS of the various feeds. Many farm
ers, however, obtain good results by
more simple methods, and have found
the following rules useful:
1. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. If the rOughage contains eight to
ten pounds of leguminous hay. such as
clover, cOwpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that 1t will contain
from IA to 16 per cent of protein. If
the roughage does not contain large
proportion of leguminous hay, but Is
composed largely Of corn silage. corn
stalks, and timothy hay. mix the grain
ration to contain 20 to "a per cent Of
protein.
3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guern-
seys, giving milk testing 4 per cent in
butterfat or higher, feed the grain mix
ture at the rate Of one pound to every
three pounds Of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 31a per
cent in butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture to every
three and one-half to four pounds Of
milk produced.
4. If the COW is In poor flesh and Is
giving a good flow Of milk, she will US
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.

which discusses the feeding Of dairy
cows, will be sent free on application

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people sympathetically and con-
structivel to study the farm-labor sit
uation any to render assistance, said
David F. Houston, secretary OF agri-
culture, IN a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
would be willing to serve the nation
In the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary I'M
dertaking of maintaining and. If posi-
Bile, supplementing. the food supply In
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If it appears that the farmers Of a
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see If they cannot assist In
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid. but each community
knows It's own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

FLOWER PARADE.
~ MKpY GRAHAn.RQsNssNER

"Hpre we come" said the crocus
flowers in the garden as they peeped
up just after the snow had left the
ground In the early spring.
They were Of different colors, pur
pie. blue. white, yellow and orange,
and how bright and cheerful they did
look for Ii was still somewhat chilly.
Were glad to see you" said the
fairies, "and we know the children
and grownupS are too
The fairies always got up very early
In the morning and they welcomed
every flower as 1t came out. The sun
smiled and beamed too and said ::
Hello flowers, how are you? I'll give
you a little warmth"
OF course the sun was so high up
and the flowers so near the ground
that they couldn't talk very we'll to
dear old Mr.. Sun, but they were fond
of him for being so good to them and
keeping them fine and warm.
1t was not long after this that the
fairies were in this same garden early
one morning when they saw some of
the other spring flowers.
"Why here are some lovely hya-
cinths," they said. Mice purple hya-
clnths and pink ones too-white and
lavender ones as well. How fragrant
you are dear, lovely hyacinths."
And the hyacinths whispered to the
fairies how they loved the world and
fairies and children and that was the
reason they We're so sweet. They sim
ply couldn't help being anything else.
There were the beautiful, bright tu-
lips, too. How gay and jolly and happy
they were. They were wearing their
brightest colOrs. Some wore dark red
and how handsome they were!
Others wore bright orange and some
wore yellow. Still others wore beauti-
full pink and some wore mixtures Of
colors. Were bright because we're
so happy" they said.
The daffodils, SO yellow and cheer
full came along next and the narcissus
flowers were Just as sweet as ever.
Its wonderful to see the different
flowers come out" the fairies said.
Just then lilac bud burst into
bloom. Hello fairies" it said. And
the other lilacS were out In a very few
days after this.
"We'll tell you a story" said the
white lilac bush while the purple and
Persian lilac bushes listened as did the
garden flowers.
WED like to hear a story" the
fairies said.
"You see," said the white lilac bush,
shat we are all a part of the great
Flower Parade"

fairies.

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Arc
Averse to Calling in the Aid
Of Physician.

The cost of doctors visit In China
ranges from to 10 cents. One would
think that, inasmuch as they are 80
cheap, nobody would be without doc
tors visits In China, but, as a fact, the
Chinese get along with as few Of them
as possible. The reason is said to be
that the Monaghan doctors use such
abominable medicines. Extracts Of all
sorts Of creeping things enter into the
Chinese drug list, and people are
averse to taking them, except in case
Of extreme necessity.
1t is possible that doctors have pur-
posely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as q means of self
protection. It would be very wearing
to a popular physician at cents
visit; he might run his legs off and
get no sleep. He accordingly makes
himself unpopular through the me-
dunn of medicines decocted of beetles
and grasshOppers and such things. He
prefers simple poverty to poverty COM

Men and BOYS First!

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think Of women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store. office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
vidlng the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.

the lead in the parade. They are like
the drum major who leads the process
sion, but instead of tossing a fancy
stick into the air, they lift up their lit
tie heads and tell the world that
spring has come.
Next follow the hyacinths, the
tulips, daffodils, narcissus flowers, gar
den yiolsts, pansies and little daisies.
They all are about in the same part of
the parade. And when they come we
appear too, as we'll as the Towering al.
mond shrubs and many others.
But the pansies, little daisies and
garden violets blossom all through the
season, so they're like the small boys
who run along by the side Of the pa
rade-almost anywhere, at any time.
"And after we go the flowers will
still keep on parading. The lilies-of-
the-yalley are marching now, and soon
the dear forget-me-nots with their
blue, blue eyes will come.
1.-THE rockets, peonies, honeysuckles
and roses all will follow along, making
q very handsome part of the parade.
And later ON the phlox, larkspur so
blue, and foxglove will follow.
these are the flowers that come up
year after year and they are the ones
which belong to the great Flower Pa
rade. It takes q whole spring and
summer and early autumn to see the
whole parade. But it's worth while
seeing. and though we can't be here
all the time, we're glad for our part of
the parade-we are"
And the fairies knew that the lilac
bush was right and q parade Of
gorgeous garden flowers would con.
tinue all summer.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be Of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking.
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women In their house
hold tasks, especially in preparing the
large amount Of food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks in Office, store, or factory.
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to 60 out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsulted to wom'
ems physical strength.
