Vote against the $4,000 appropriation referred to
the people by the state tax commission. 1t includes $751;
600 or more for the payment of the governors state mil
tia, a lot of graft for the useless and extravagant state
council Of defense, which pays women employees $500 a
month salary, and various other items which are not
entirely necessary expenses of state government. Should
the defeat Of the appropriation cause some inconvenience
to certain state institutions it is more than likely the legls-
lature will find a way out of the difficulty next winter.
The fact that most of the $4,000 is pure unadulterated
graft should defeat the measure.

THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL
GOOD SOLDIER FOR BAD.

Formerly the soldier who was convicted Of a military
offense and sentenced to prison left all hope behind OF
ever being reinstated in the army. !.
AT last the war department woke up and realized
that by this practice Of universal Punishment much good
soldier stuff was lost. AS a result a little quiet reclama-
ton is being done at Fort Leavenworth disciplinary bar
racks.
While every soldier who enters is a prisoner under
sentence, there has been added to the school and work
shop a battalion for military drill, and those who develop
good metal under the discipline, and whose offenses have
been of such a nature as to allow ii, may at the end OF
their terms of Imprisonment re-enter the army.
They call it the Battalion of Another Chance" For
while never minimizing the fact that any breach OF mill
tary discipline is serious it still offers hope for certain
types Of offenders: the boy who fell asleep at his post,
the homesick lad who ran away to see his mother, or the
young rebel, who, blinded by youthful folly, defied auth
ority.
"A record in the last four years of over 1000 men re-
turned to the army as soldiers in good standing, Of whom
200 were made officers because OF proved efficiency, IS
pretty good evidence that reclamation pays.

DAIRY cow IS ECONOMICAL
Animal Will Convert Hay, Grass and
CornstaIks Into Milk in Cheap
est Manner Possible.

Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first is that milk
as purchased on the market usually
supplies food material together with
the growth-producing elements more
economically than either meat or
eggs. The second reason is that the
dairy cow is the most economical pro-
Queer of animal food. One great law
of food conservation is to turn in
edible feeds into edible foods in the
cheapest possible manner. The dairy
COW will utilize coarse materials, in
edible to humans-such as grass,
cornstalks and hay-and will turn
them into milk. Other farm animals
also are converters of coarse roughage
into edible foods, but are not so eff
Gent as the dairy COW.

In dairying large production and
profit go hand in hand. Breeding fur
nishes the most economical way to OBJ

Splendid Type of Dairy Cow.

Splendid Type of Barry Cow.
320,OO0,O00 pounds more than we i'm
ported.
The total amount of milk produced
in this country in 1917 is estimated to
be "a II 100000 pounds. Large losses
occur and the greatest is through the
failure fully to utilize skinned milk
and buttermilk Cor human food. These
products have all of the food value
of whole milk except the fat. A given
quantity of them would produce seven
times as much food value in the form
Of cottage cheese as they would pro
| duce in the form of meat if fed to live
stock. The possibilities of increasing
the supply of food by the fuller utiI-
cation of these by-products are enor
nous. In brief, there should be bet
ter utilization of skinned milk and
buttermilk, both as food on the farm
and through the market.
Better results in dairying may be
! secured by proper sanitation and care
: in producing and handling milk; by
| better care and utilization of pastures !;
| by raising on the farm adequate sup
/ plies of roughage, particularly legumes
! and silage, to take the place Of grains
so far as is practicable; by preserving
for dairy purposes all the high-produc-
! ing animals and eliminating those that
are inefficient; by feeding according
| to production SO as to secure the
greatest yield of milk with the least
quantity of feed, which necessitates
Il record of production of individual
COWS; by the full utilization in the
community of good bulls throughout
the entire period of their usefulness
and to their full capacity, and by the
prompt control of disease.

NEED MORE DAIRY PRODUCTS
Supply Should Be Maintained to Help
Supply Increasing Demands of
European Allies.

In making this recommendation in
its supplementary production program,
the United States department of agri-
culture points out that dairy products
are essential to the well-being of the
nation and that the dairy cow produces
more food On less feed than any other
of our domestic animals.
Before the war the United States re-
ceived dairy products from about TWEEN
ty foreign countries; now these sup
plies have been largely stopped and it
has become necessary not only to re-
place them at once but also to export
large quantities. In 1914, for instance,
We imported approximately 64,OO0,OOO
pounds more of dairy products than
we exported, not including fresh milk
and cream. In 1917 we exported

SAVED OSTEND FROM
FOE COMMANDMENT
British Drew Out to Sea Rather
Than Draw German Fire

London, Oct. 19.-Admiral Keyes'
entry into Ostend was made in the
course of operations designed to
clear up the military situation be-
tween Nieuport and Ostend, which
was Obscure. The naval force with
drew when the Germans, who were
not clear of the town, began Smelling
the Warships.
The withdrawal was for the pur-
pose Of saving the lives of civilians
and also avoiding further lombard
n1ent of the town by tho Germans, as
German shells we're falling close to a
crowd of excited inhabitants. The
text of the admiralty statement reads:
Admiral Reyes reports that on the
morning Of Thursday the military
situation between Newport and Os-
tend was obscure. It seemed uncer-
tain whether the enemy had with
drawn from the coast. Up to then no
fires had been started by him either
in Middelkerke or Ostend
ga division of destroyers recon
noitered the coast, assisted by air
craft. They arrived off Ostend at II
o'clock, at which hour one of our air.
craft landed on the beach, where
large crowds of the inhabitants had
assembled.
ct proceeded into the harbor In a
whaler and landed about 1880 meet
ing with a great reception. The enc
my at the time was not clear of the
town and a light battery at LIE Coo
opened fire on the ships. Two shells,
falling on the beach close to a
crowd, excited the inhabitants.
"a heavy battery of four guns in
the direction of zeebrugge opened
fire on the destroyers and as it SEEM
ed possible the presence of the naval
force might lead to the lombard
ment of Ostend or to more shells fall
ing in the town, where they would
endanger the lives of civilians, I de-
cided to withdraw the naval force and
/ thus give the enemy no excuse for
firing toward the town.
IT therefore re-em parked and the
destroyers withdrew, being heavily
shelled to just east of Middelkerke.
Four motor launches were left at
Ostend as an inshore patrol, the in
habitants being nervous Of the Ger
mans returning.
1.-The King and Queen of the Bel
gians expressed the wish to visit Os-
tend either from the sea or the air. In
view of the difficulty of landing and
the uncertainty of the situation they
proceeded in the destroyer Termag-
ant, flying the Belgian flag at the
main. to the vicinity Of Ostend.
THE senior officer of the British
motor launch patrol off Ostend, which
had been er-enforced by French mo-
tor launches, reported that all had
been quiet for some hours.
Their Majesties, therefore, landed
and proceeded to the Hotel de Vile
Clown HalD. They were received
everywhere with indescribable en-
thusiasm. They returned to Dunkirk
about 10 O'Clock at night.
THE British naval forces suffered
no damage and no casualties"

The Redwoods of this city, the fast
est semi-professional organization in
Hartford County, will play their
second game of the season Sunday af-
ternoon at at the Seymour Park
grounds, with the Lyrics of Hartford.
The Lyrics will bring down the best
team Hartford City can produce and
also the crack players Of their city,
among whom are Captain Herbert,
Cohen and Dunn. This promises to
be the game of the year for the Red
woods, for the management had to
put up a. large sum of money in order
to bring the Lyrics down.
Coach German Of the Redwoods
had untiring nerves in order to place
some sort of a football team in New

players being in the service handicap
ped him good deal, and with so
many deaths and such a large amount
of sickness going on in SO many of
the homes of the players it was neces-
sary for him TO work twice as hard
in order to place a team in this city.
The Redwoods will bring forth several
new players, whom the fans in this
city have seen in uniform before with
the Nutmegs. All roads will lead to
the Redwood field Sunday, and the
way to get there is to walk to the top
of Smalley Hill and watch for the

under shell fire for our infantry men,
A Salvation Army lassie is safe with

That speaks for itself I am for any

it is the idea of the American people
when they give their money.
What we want is some one who is
willing to come over here and do
