Freight and Passenger
 Rates to be Increased

An examination of McAdoo's order raising freight rates on a basis of 25% and passenger fares to three cents a mile and abolish ing lower interstate rates indi- cate the average increase will be higher than 25 per cent, owning to the many changes and read justments that will be made. The new passenger rates will go into effect June 10th and the freight rates June 18th. The interstate commerce commission approved the order without a hearing. Summer vacation rates will be es- tablished, but will be on a higher scale.-Holbrook News.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was SUD- posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with loccl treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine. manufactured by F J. Cheney 6 Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars re- ward is offered for any case that Halls Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials

KAISER PHONES TOHELL

The Kaiser called to devil on the
 telephone one day, And the girl at central listened in
 to hear what they had to say, Hello, she heard the kaiser's
 voice 'Is old man Satan home?" Just tell him it is kaiser Bill who,
 wants him on the phone." The devil said 'hello" to Bill and
 Bill said, "how are you?" l am running here a hell on earth,
 so tell me what to do" What can I do?" the devil said,
 my dear old kaiser bill. If there's a thing that I can do to
 help you sure will. ' The Kaiser said, 'Now listen, and
 will try and tell
 The way that 1 am running on
 earth a modern hell, Pve planned this war for many
 years, and started out to kill. It's going to be modern job.
 leave it to kaiser Bill"
 My army went thru Belgium
 shooting babies and women
 down.
 We have torn up all their country
 and blown up many town. My Zepps dropped bombs on cities killing both old and young. And any the Zepplins d dn't get 1 bad taken out and hung" 'I started out for Paris, with the aid O. poisonous gas, And the Belgians, damn them stopped me and wouldn'tlet me pass.
 I've damned them ever since, and l sure have made them pay, For I've carried off their women, fined them million marks day. My submarines are devils; why. you should see them fight. They go sneaking thru the sea and sink all ships on sight. 1 was running things to suit me till a year ago or so, Vixen d man named Woodrow Wilson wrote me to go more slow,
 He said to- me: Now William, we don't want to make you sore, But be sure and tell your U-boats to sink our ships no more. We have told you for the last time so dear Bill it's up to you. For if you insist on doing it, you'll have to fight us too! I wouldn't listen to him, so he's come after me,
 With two million yankee soldiers from their homes across the sea That's why 1 called you, Satan, for 1 want advice from you, For 1 know that you will tell me just what 1 ought to do." My dear Kaiser William, there's not much for me to tell, For the Yankee will make it hot ter than 1 can for you in hell. I've been mean old devil but Pm not half so mean as you, And the minute that you get here 1 will give my job to you. I'll be ready for your coming and I'll keep the fires bright. 1 will have your room all ready, when the Tanks begin to fight, For those Tanks will surely get you, I've nothing more to tell.

Old Stuff.

A leading Democratic member Of the
House from North Carolina quotes a
so-called Republican from the State OF
Ohio as declaring that he will. for the
first time in his life, cast a vote this
fall to return a Democrat to the Ma
tional House. His reason for doing
so is said to be that he does not wish
to "hearten the German official class
and the German Army" by failure
to sustain the Commander in Chief in
keeping the House Democratic. He
concludes that if the President is ire
pudiated by the American people" the
result will be a continuance of the war
for six months or a year longer.
Nothing could be further from the
facts. Everybody knows that the only
thing that will make an impression on
the Germans Of all classes is the crush
Of military blows, delivered with all
the force at our command. The heavi-
err our attacks the sooner the war will
be over, regardless of what party hap
pens to be in charge at Washington.
The German army is not going to be
'heartened" by a change in, political
control if that change is accompanied
by the unceasing attack of additional
divisions of our soldiers as they are
hurried to France in increasing thous-
ands.
This latest argument of the party
in power is but restatement in diff
ferent language of the plea made a
year ago that "a vote for a Republic
can is vote for the kaiser" The peo-
pie are familiar with that kind Of pro-
paganda, and will be uninfluenced by
whatever form it is put before them.

fetal fermentation can readily be seen.
Now, this necessary fermentation con-
sists in breaking up of the sugars in
to acids, mainly Tactic acid, which is
found in sour milk, and the dissocia-
ton of the proteins. These processes
are accomplished by microscopic or
ganisms. This accumulation of acid
inhibits further acid production from
the remaining sugars and also inhib-
it's decomposition by the harmful fer
mentation organisms. The silage
stays in this condition as long as the
air is excluded.
"On filling the silo it is often nee
essary to wet the ensilage if it is too
dry. This step is to enable the silage
to be more densely packed, which is
conductive to the desirable fermenta-
ton and is not conductive to the I'M
desirable fermentation, as the air is

WHY CERTAIN THINGS ARE
NECESSARY IN SILAGE-MAKING
Silo Must be so Filled That Beneficial
Fermentation will Take Place and
Harmful Fermentation be
Retarded.

"In cutting corn for the silo it is
advisable to let it reach certain
stage of maturity, that is, let it be-
come well dented, but not too ripe, so
that the leaves are dried up" says p.
X. Heerwagen, of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College. "The reasons are:
The farther along corn is allowed to
mature, the more pounds of dry mat
ter the crop yields. In addition to
this, the most economical and most
palatable feed is obtained at this stage.
"The process which the silage und-
ergoes when placed in the silo should
be clearly understood in order that the
reasons for various precautions may
be evident. Silage is subject to two
fermentation processes. One is a
harmful fermentation which brings
about the decay and moldy condition
of silage. The other is the beneficial
fermentation, and it is upon this fer
mentation that the keeping quality
of silage depends. This process holds
or prevents the other process from
going forward, and SO the Importance
Of facilitating in every way this hene-

Camouflaged Chicken.

After months of patient efforts Con-
gresham Edward L. Hamilton of
Michigan has succeeded finally in get
ting through the House his bill for the
regulation Of the shipment Of imma-
ture calves. Although the details of
that trade are known to comparative
ly few people it constitutes one Of the
worst forms of profiteering at the ex-
pense Of the health Of the Nation. 1t
is the practice in certain dairying Sec
lions Of the country, day or two
after the calves are born, to ship them
to canning factories in the East where
they are put up as canned chicken. 1t
has been proven many times that such
young meat is unfit for human food,
but up to the present time no remedy
has been found in the law. Repre-
sentative Hamilton has given much
time and study to the matter, and the
bill which he has put through the
House he is confident will stand the
test of the courts. The measure pre-
vents the shipment in interstate COM
merce Of live calf unaccompanied by
its mother unless it is at least four
weeks old.

WASHINGTON NOTES


While the water power bill was und
er consideration in the House, a pro
vision was inserted defining the terms
upon which the government may take
over a water power project at the ex-
piration Of the 50-year lease. The pro-
vision was drafted by Clyde B. Aitchi
son, a man whom the President had
appointed member Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. 1t had the
strong and unqualified endorsement of
Secretary of the Interior Lane. who
was formerly a member of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and sell
ected as a member Of the cabinet be-
cause Of his demonstrated ability. He
was one of the few men selected be-
cause Of peculiar fitness. Both Lane
and Aitchinson have given years to
the study Of the problem of valuation
Of public properties. The plan was al
so approved by Secretary of War Bak-
er and Secretary Of Agriculture Hous-
ton. neither Of whom has any special
qualifications for passing on that sub
ject, but both of whom had the advice
Of highly qualified engineers. The
plan also had the approval of the
House Water Power Committee, and
of a great majority of the members
Of the House. After it had all this
backing, the President wrote letter
lcondemning it as against the public in
terest. Presumably, il the President
has been giving attention to the pro-
secution of the war and the elimina-
ton Of waste in the Departments und-
err his control, he has had enough to
keep him so busy that he could not
have mastered the intricate problem
Of ascertaining values of water power

number of men who have studied the
questions for years, and would write

eliminated.
Another precaution to be observed
in silage making is to keep one or
more men inside the silo to keep the
ensilage evenly distributed and well
packed down especially round the side.
The silage must be well packed, and
as it tends to stick to the sides, it
must especially be packed around the
edges; in the middle its own weight
is ordinarily sufficient to make it COM
pact enough to shut out the air.
about one foot in depth should be
allowed for the top layer. Care should
be taken that it is very compact and
sufficiently moistened as this top i'm
pervious layer has the same function
as does layer of paraffine on glass
of jelly. A very good practice is &c
sow oats or rye on the top, this quick

rocks. The walls were perpendic-
ular and could not be scaled by
anyone. The grass was growing
green over the whole inciosure
which covered about three acres.
There was a clear stream on his
right ard trees were plentiful.
What surprised Tom was about
fifty horses which he recognized
as belonging to his father
As he had been observing all
these things he had been following
the small trail. This trail led in
and out among the trees and it
soon vanished in a small copse
through which ran a small stream
He followed this trail as cautiously
as possible. This little copse was
close to the high wall. Coming
out of the bushes he came sudden
ly on another opening similar to
the one he had entered. His idea
was that they drove the stolen
stock through the mountain when
they were ready
After following this rather large
passage a short distance, Tom
came to the opening of the under
ground road. He found himself
on a large ledge with gorge on
the right. The ledge turned about
one hundred yards ahead and as
he turned he came suddenly upon
a man coming. Both were startled.
The man said, What are you do
ing here"
Tom calmly replied that he was
inspecting an outlaws retreat.
well you won't get out of here to
tell anything" AS he uttered these
words he rushed at Tom and bore
him back toward the edge of the
ledge. Tom manouvered around
until he was facing the ledge and
his opponent was not prepared and
The two met in a deadlock and
swayed back and forth on the
ledge for several seconds when
Tom gave a sudden push for which
his opponent was not prepared so
he went over the edge with a
crash.-Harold Warnke, Lewisburg.

WAR STAMP BENEFITS
The Direct Connection Between
Euying Thrift Stamps and Win
ming the War.

A nation must have money to
carry On a war Money is the
foundation upon which war Is
waged. 1t feeds, equips and trans
ports the soldiers; 1t manufactures
war supplies and ammunition; it
builds the ships.
A government can get money to
carry on a war by taxation and by
the sale of bonds to the people.
The United States government has
offered Thrift and War Savings
Stamps to its people. War Savings
Stamps are bonds OF a much small
Ter denomination than Liberty
Bonds and are offered to the peo-
pie SO that those who cannot afford
to invest in Liberty Bonds may
have some way of loaning their
money to the government Sixteen
Thrift Stamps make one War Saw
ings Stamp.
Many people wonder how their
buying twenty-five cent Thrift
Stamp would help win the war. All
the money that is loaned to the
government through the sale of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps is used to feed, equip and
transport our soldiers; to build
ships and to make war supplies. II
three hundred and twenty-five peo-
pie would buy one Thrift Stamp
each, it would buy enough pairs of
shoes to last a soldier for one year;
or if forty people would buy one
Thrift Stamp each 1t would buy
one rife for a soldier. Therefore,
the person buying a twenty-five
cent Thrift Stamp is helping very
much to win thre war.
People should buy War Savings
Stamps for two reasons: First,
they are showing their patriotism
by helping win the war and, Sec
ond They are making a good in
vestment as War Savings Stamps
bring four percent compound In
terest and are non-Taxable.-

"THE STRUGGLE"

RadfOrd of the Bar o ranch was
riding across the plane close to
Circle mountain. He seemed to be
in no great hurry. He was going
on a camping and hunting trip by
himself, for he desired no COM
pany at this time.
Tom Radford was the son of the
rancher, Jim Radford. No one
knew why Tom had taken such a
sudden notion to go camping. Had
the truth been known he had been
sent out by his father to watch
for the russelers who had been
taking many cattle lately.
AS he came up to the beginning
OF the slope of Circle mountain, he
detoured to his right and followed
the base of the mountains for a
little way. He suddenly vanished
from sight as he entered an open
ing in the side of the mountain of
which he himself only knew. But
he was much mistaken in this as
he later found out. He had known
of this opening for years, but had
told no one about it for he wanted
to keep this to himself.
