FULTON COUNTY'S .PATRI-
OTTO INDEBTEDNESS
By w. L. Crooks

~
The nation of which we are a con-
siderable part, has, on two previous
occasions recently, solicited a inan-
cial loan from Fulton county. The
nation has been and still is in need of
funds to carry on the business of pro-
tecting the freedom and welfare Of
its citizenship. In addition to actual
money to maintain this protection, 1t
also became necessary to use force of
arms and to call our best young men
to the colors in support of Justice,
In support Of "Life, Liberty and the
Pursuit Of Happiness"
The young men of Fulton county
have to date paid in full their obi
CATION to their country, thereby Of
fering the supreme sacrifice. The
remaining citizens, not subject to call,
have not paid in full their obligation
to their country's need. The Stats
tics of the second Liberty loan show
that Fulton county failed to meet its
share Of this country's burden by
nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars ($20O,000). What this shortage
may mean to Fulton county's boys as
they go over the top somewhere along
the Hindenberg line, will never be
known. It may be only a lost oppor-
tunity; but 1t might be a shortage OF
ammunition in the midst Of battle.
The Third Liberty Loan is to be
offered, beginning Saturday, to every
man, woman, and child of this nation
Fulton county being a part Of this
nation, has a just proportion of this
obligation to meet. The one big ques.
ton RICH now in Fulton county Is
whether the citizens viii protect Their
patriotic credit and invest mot pay
out or give away their allotted share
in this National Bond issue. Will VIC
be able to look our boys square IL
the face as they return from the bat.
tie fronts and say, "Well, lad, we too
did our part?" If we cannot sa,
that, it will be a sorry meeting. Lett

work viii do it, let's work. If sacri
fee will do it, let's sacrificed "Let'i
do it, you and II"

lioht From the Left Side.

The well-known fact that, when us.
ing the eyes for any near work, the IL.
Elimination should come from the left
side rather than the right is often dis
regarded. Let anyone who considers
the matter Of little Importance once
demonstrate to himself the difference
and he will never forget it. Take q
pencil and paper and try to write while
in such q position that the light will
fall from the right side. The shadow
Of the hand or pencil or both is thrown
on the paper in such way as partly
to cover the characters one is making.
This necessitates q closer viewpoint
and q conscious strain on the eyes.
Now let the position Of the writer be
reversed so that tile light falls on the
work from the left side. He will no.
tice that the shadows fall away from
the work he is doing and leave the
field unobscured. In making the
change he cannot help but notice the
feeling of ease that Immediately is ex-
perienced by the eyes. This applies
to any other kind Of near work in
which the fingers work under the guild.
ance of the eyes. This fact should
be remembered in planning school
rooms, workrooms, Offices and any
places where steady close work Is to
be performed.

Water Which Flows From Fields to
Roads 10 Expensive to Public
Forbidden by Statute.

Muddy roads due to water which
flows over the surface of land along
q highway into the side bitches are
expensive to the public. No railroad
will tolerate a wet rOadbed longer
than is necessary to carry out the
drainage work to dry the earth. But
persons whose convenience depends In
no small measure on the roads passing
by their property rarely do anything
to check the injury they are working
to themselves and their neighbors In
the manner mentioned.
The Colorado highway commission
has called attention to statute which
makes it a misdemeanor In that state
has issued the following notice on the
subject: "From the fields along high
way the waste or excess water Is al
lowed to run directly to the road
ditch, and if, as is often the case, the
road ditch is INSTRUCTED, this water
gets over the road, making a muddy
road, which under the traffic soon be-
comes impossible. This can be pre-
vented by running a ditch, "a single
furrow may answer,) along the fence
line and discharging the water into
road culvert at point where 1t will
drain away. This condition also en-
phasizes the necessity Of keeping all
the road culverts open and ready to
carry water"

The bureau is using cats and dogs in
experiments with gas masks that will

a call for more of them. In each case
the animals are shipped at government

DAIRY:
KEEPING COWS IN OPEN SHED
Durinu Extreme Cold Animals Went
OF In Milk Flow Rapidly-Resv(t
Of Test Given.

For three years the Pennsylvania
station has kept one lot Of cows in an
open shed and another lot. in typical
dairy barn. In the open shed the tenn
perature ranged from zero to about ~
degrees, while in the barn it was kept
ut 40 to SO degrees most Of the time.
During unusually cold weather, the
0pen-shed cows went off in their milk
flow much more rapidly than the cows
Kept in the barn. but they also re-
sponded more quickly to the return OF
warm weather than the cows in the
barn.
On the average, the cows in the
barn decreased in their milk flow about
90 pounds per week, as compared with
3.5 pounds per week for the cows In
the open shed. The cows In the barn
gave EGG pounds of milk for each
therm of energy above that required
for maintenance, whereas the outdoor
cows returned only 2.44 pounds of milk
for each therm above that required for
maintenance. The outdoor cows kept
cleaner, but required more bedding.

full Of dust and dirt and become Of
fensive. Water can be kept from
freezing in all except very low tenn
peratures by adding couple of pounds
Of common salt to each bucketful. A
single bucket of water may check a
fire when the delay in getting water
from pump would allow the blaze to
become uncomfortable. In buildings a
long way from a water supply, q cask
or tub Of water from which to refill
buckets is very desirable.
There is a right and a wrong way
to throw water on fire. Don't
become excited. Spread the water
with a sweeping motion all over the
flaming material. Water thrown hastily
may miss the blaze or fail to spread
properly over the burning material.
A fire chief of an eastern city at q
demonstration put out an angry fire Of
oil-soaked material by calmly applying
ten cupfuls of water where they would
do the most good.

TRY TO KEEP COWS GAINING
Mistake to Think Animals Give Maxi
mum Amount Of Milk Immedi-
ately After Freshening.

Ordinarily most farmers expect
their cows to give their greatest milk
flow Immediately after freshenins,
and from that time on to gradually
decrease. This Is not as it Should
be, however, for it is the experience
of many good feeders that COW can
be made to increase in milk flow from
the time she calves until month
or more afterward when she is ut
her maximum production. 1t requires
careful feeding and close attention to
do this, however. The cows general
condition must be watched and she
must be fed accordingly. There Is
many a COW that is now only an in
different milk producer that might
have a better record to her credit II
she were given better feed and care.

WATER CARRIED TO bitches
This Can Be Done by Giving Proper
Crown or Cross Slope to Road
Soils Differ.

Water falling on the road should be
carried to the side bitches by giving
q proper crown or cross slope to the
road. Make your road to shed water.
The slope should vary with different
soils. For a loamy soil crown of
about one inch per foot is considered
proper; on a clay soil an inch and a
half to two inches. The side slopes of
bitches should be much greater. The
longitudinal slope or grade will also
somewhat determine the crown. On
q steep grade it is necessary to give
greater crown to keep the water
from running down the Travelled road
way and washing gullies.
