Make Chick Feed.

A very inexpensive little chick
feed can be made right at home.
Take 100 pounds of bran, and
add thereto five pounds of fine
charcoal and five pounds of dried
beef scrap, which can be bought
of your city dealer who handles
chicken feeds; mix twenty pounds
of coarse cernmeal and mix all
of this thoroughly. You will now
have made a little chick feed that
will be equal to any that you call
buy. Keep this before the little
chicks at all times if you have
them to themselves or in a brood
er. Feed this in little troughs so
they cannot waste it.
This can be fed dry the first
few days or a week, and then can
be moistened just a little with
sour milk or clabbered milk OF
any milk which you may have to
spare on the farm. Farm and

A Pauper Patriot.

Here is a letter written by S.
W. Dean, a dollar a day pumper,
1T Peterman, Alabama, to Liber-
ty Loan directors in his home
county:
Mr.. w. T. Duncan: | told
you that | could not take a Lib

Jour children that have never had
a pair of shoes but that is all
right. So you fix it up and send
1t to me. S. w. DEAN,
Pumper.
1t is altogether improbable that
any other man, woman or child
IN the United States has done
more for the Liberty Loan than
this dollar-a-day pumper.
So poor that for two yaars he
had bought no flour for his table,
and four little children who had
never known the JOY of a pair of
new shoes!
And yet S. W. Dean, somehow
or other, felt the spirit of patri-
otism tugging at his heart and
he had to make the sacrifice.

Is America Christian?

We speak of America as a
Christian country, but is your
Christianity a thin veneer Of COM
placent custom or does it strike
deep to the very core?
A child is dying of hunger al
your door. Do you give it food
and shelter and raiment?
Another is being beaten and
bruised and shamefully maltreat-
ed. Do you stetch out your arm
to protect and save?
No, these things are not being
done at our very door, but null
tiplied a thousand fold, they are
being done every day in that
sorely stricken land of Armenia.
Whole villages depopulated,
women and children, dead OF
starvation lying unburied in the
streets, others, mere skeletons,
fighting for the veriest carrlon
and offal with which to keep life
in their bodies.
All this in bible lands and in
the country which as a nation
first accepted Christianity and
which amid unparalleled perse-
cution, has maintained an un-
broken church through all the
centuries. What will you dc
about it?
Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this.

ows in their Affections.

came through American official chan nels that the Bulgarians had asked for an armistioe to discuss terms of peace. The emphasis laid everywhere upon conditions which the Bulgars must meet almost overshadewed the satisfaction over this sign that the expected crumbling of Germany's lesser allies is at hand.
 Collapse of Bulgarian resistance would be of tremendous military ad- vantage to the entente and might quickly affect the attitude of Turkey. Neutral diplomats in Washington ap- peared. if possible. even more im- pressed by this prospect than the rep- resentatives of the allies. They spoke of the Turkish debacle in Palestine and predicted that oyertures from the Ottoman government might be ex- pected. Some even went so far as to express the opinion that since Bull garia has dared to defy her master, Germany's more powerful colleague, Austria, may gather courage to dis regard German pressure and come out with an unqualified proposal for ees- sation of hostilities.
 Bulqarian Minister Still Here
 The United States is not at war with Bulgaria and the Bulgarian min ister still occupies his legation here. Therefore, directly and formally the American government has nothing to do with the proposal made to the French general commanding the allies in Macedonia. Actually. however. the
