Vigilante Service
Has Many Objects

Among the many subjects which
came up for treatment, certain ones
have crystallized into permanent OBJ
jects of Vigilantes propaganda. These
may be summarized as:
The breaking down of prejudice of
all kindsto make a united America
with ideal Americansm as it's only
slogan.

lard seconded the efforts of the prose
writer's in stirring verse.
With our entry into the war, the
energies of the Vigilantes were applied
with increased vigor to their con-
stantly augmenting tasks. Now it was
no longer q matter only of arousing
the American public to a sense of it's
obligation to the world and to the need
OF preparing for it's own defence.
Scores of practical questions, which
had nevertheless to be TRANSPORTED to
make them interesting to the people,
were pressed upon the Vigilantes from
many sources.
The government for one demanded
that the writers and artists hold them
selves subject to its needs. Organiza-
tons of q governmental nature,
like the Red Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A,
put forward their bids for aid. Prac-
tically all the organizations designed
for patriotic service seemed to feel
that they had some claim upon the
service of the Nigilantes. And so far
as possible, always keeping in view
that the chief object of the organiza-
ton was TO inspire the soul of the
country-to keep it alive to the best
ideals of Notwithstanding Vigilantes
gave their assistance right and left,
and always without CHARGE

TIME Vigilantes are known all over
the country as authors and ar

everyman was still absorbed in his
daily routine. Intuitively, they grasped
the significance of the great tragedy
and foresaw the coming night of woe.
And even as they shrank before the
horror of it all, they realized the OBJ
legation laid upon them, as it was laid
upon the seers and prophets of old.
They Interpreted
Our Destiny
They had been denouncing the beast
Individually ever since that black day
IN 1914, when it mad fallen upon de-
fcnceless Belgium; they had been cry
ing out for America to go to the aid
OF the champions Of right; they had
been pointing out that destiny would
sooner or later force US into the strug
gle, even though we selfishly chose to
stand aloof. These had been the scat
tered cries of the individual prophets,
but now they were drawn together as
by an invisible power. Early in March,
more IMAM InOULn before AMERICA Oe-
clared herself in the war, the Vigil
autes was organized and within a fort
night all the most prominent writer's
and illustrators had come under its
banner.
Although they included the best
known names in America--men and
women whose work commanded the
highest prices in the open market-one
and all agreed to give thei- services
gratis. The only expenses we're to be
those of administration (even these
were put upon patriotic basis of COM
pensation) and the. mechanical cost of
printing and distribution.
An arrangement was perfected to
send out proof-sheets every week TO
newspapers in all towns of five thou
sands or more inhabitants. Fifteen
hundred daily newspapers thus re-
ceived a direct service by mail, with
out cost AT the same time, arrange
ments for publication were made with
the American Press Association and
the Western Newspaper Union to reach
the thousands of newspapers, includ-
ing dailies and weeklies, upon the lists

try the last bit of waste of human food
may be converted into good fresh eggs
or meat, as may be desired, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Fowls will eat all the leavings that
are in edible form. By special prep
aratiOn some things not adapted to
human consumption become valuable
feed for poultry. Fresh bones, crush
ed or ground, are delicacy for them.
They will eat considerable amounts of
the parings of oil kinds of vegetables
If these are given in such form that
the birds can swallow them readily.
Many poultry keepers save parings,
cook them with small potatoes and
other waste vegetables, and fed mixed
with meals.
Not all kitchen waste, however,
makes poultry fed. The skins Of
bananas, oranges and lemons are not
edible and should not be mixed with
scraps that are to be fed to poultry,
for the birds leave such stuff, and as
it accumulates 1t makes the place
where the they, are fed look slOvenly.
Coffee grounds, and tea leaves in small
quantities are not Objectionable, but
in large quantities should be disposed
of separately. Fat meat in large pieces
should not be put with scraps for poul-
try because hen can swallow much
larger piece of fat than is good for
her. By cutting waste fat In pieces

HOming Pigeons Cost Less
Than Any Other Soldiers
In Service of Uncle Sam

Someone has calculated that it costs
Uncle Sam about $1,000 to train and
equip a soldier and make him ready
for the firing line. In the United
States army at present. notes the New
York Herald, there is one little war
rior who costs just cents at the
outset and needs only few cents
more a day for upkeep, but who, be-
cause Of proven efficiency, is now
slated for a trip to France and a
place In the fighting line.
The little soldier was one of the

Garden. It was originally the prop

1t to the government for the nominal
price Of FIVE cents. Major Griffin is In
command of the pigeon section Of the
army, and because it Is not customary
or proper for Uncle Sam to compete
for prlxes, he entered the bird and

The mountain scenery on the way
to Santa Tecla, $3.50 feet above sea

PREVENT FIRE
LOSSES
By the u. S. Department
of Agriculture

Millions of dollars worth Of agri-
cultural wealth is destroyed by fire
each year in the United States. At
normal prices and with an average
yield 1t would take the greater part of
the potato crop Of the country to off
set all that Is lost annually through
fires on farms. This is dead loss
to the natiOn-fOr the fact that most
individual losers are partially reim-
burSed by insurance does not in the
least reduce the drain on our national
reSOurces-and it Is loss that is large
ly preventable.
The problem of fighting or prevent
ing fire in the country districts Is a
most serious one, for organized fire
prevention work such as has been de-
velOped to science in many cities Is
practically impossible in the country.
Some fires on farms may be unavOid-
able, but great many Of them could
be prevented by comparatively small
amount of time intelligently applied
by the individual farmers In the study
Of conditions which are likely to cause
fire. and by placing simple and mex
pensive fire-fighting equipment in con
venient places about the farm build
lngs.
The farmer should study his build
fngs and their contents from the point
Of view of the fire inspector of the
city, whose sole business is to see all
the things that can be done to I'm
prove conditions so that fire cannot
easily start, and to determine tho
best ways of fighting any fires that
may start. He should remember that
any preventive or protective measures
which he may take are for his own
benefit, and that protection sufficient
to prevent a fire Is cheap as COM
pared with the loss entailed by the
average farm fire. Every building or
set of buildings has certain points
which are more susceptible to fires
than others, but adequate protection
must be provided for the entire prem
some weakness due to oversight or
neglect will not neutralize the good eff
feet Of all the work previously done.
Most farmers carry fire insurance
on their buildings and contents suffi-
cfent partly to repay for any losses
that may occur; but this insurance Is
paid from premiums which are nothing
more than a tax collected from the
pOlicyhOlders for this purpose. The
loss Occasioned by serious fire is
such that very few people can afford
to be without fire insurance, but at
tentiOn of the prevention of fire
would result in reducing the number
Of fires, and, therefore, the rate of pre-
miums necessary to cover the fire
losses. This would be felt quickly In
mutual companies which are owned
and managed by the policyholders
themselves and in which the premiums
are fixed by the actual losses.

also the blue ribbon for the best young
hen homer in the show.
Than the government homers no sec
tiOn of the show attracted more gen.
eral attention. Officers from the ar
mics of Great Britain and France
were especially interested in the ex-
hibit, and khaki-clad warrior ap-
preached Major Griffin to explain how
on one occasion on the western front
his life and that of his entire battalion
had been saved by nothing more than
little homing pigeon, which had got
out with it's message telling of the pre-
cariOus predicament of the soldiers in
the front trenches and enabling re-en-
fOrcements to be hurried up just in
the nick of time.

no larger than one would cut for him
self at the table, and by making sure
that the fat does not exceed 10 Der
cent of the scraps fed at one time the
dangers in feeding it are avoided.
The best way to save kitchen waste
for poultry is to keep a One-gallOn jar,
OF glazed or galvanized ware, with a
cover In a convenient place, putting in
to this scraps of bread, cake, and meat
from the table, remnants of servings
OF vegetables, cereals, pies, puddings,
ETC., and whatever waste from the
preparation of meals is suitable to
combine with these things In a mash.
Once a day the contents Of the Jar
should be turned into pail of appro-
pirate sizes and as much ground feed
STUFF mixed with them as can be stir
red In with strong iron spoon or a
wooden stirring stick. The amount
and kinds of ground feeds to be used
will depend upon the quantity of wa
ter with the scraps and whether any
particular article predominates.

II cOndensary is within reasonable
distance the creameryman sometimes
can sell his skim milk there. Very
few creameries, however. are so situ-
ated, and the largest opportunity for
the creamefyman to divert skim milk
and buttermilk into channels of hu-
man consumption is by the manufac-
ture of cottage cheese, says the United
States department of agriculture
This product is easy to make and util-
lies skim milk and good grades of
buttermilk.
Cottage cheese is one of the impor-
tant meat substitutes. 1t contains a
larger percentage of protein (the chief
material for body building) than most
meats and furnishes this material Mt
a lower cost. In every pound of cot
tage cheese there is about One-fifth of
pound of protein. nearly all of which
is digestible. Meats, on the other
hand, usually contain less protein and
besides have a certain waste, such as
bone and other inedible material. A
pound Of cottage cheese daily would
supply all the protein required by the
ordinary adult engaged in sedentary
occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese is much cheaper than
meats in furnishing protein for the
diet.
For supplying protein. pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 pounds sirlOin steak.
LOO pounds round steak
1877 pounds chuck rib beef.
1.52 pounds fowl
1.46 pounds fresh ham.

In addition to protein, energy for

nished by food. As source of en-
ergy, also, cottage cheese Is cheaper
than most meats at present prices. The

On the basis of energy supplied,
