Yale and Penn Engage in
Meet on That Date at
Philadelphia

The race for the intercollegiate
championship of 1918 in water polo may
virtually be decided on Friday, when
Yale and Pennsylvania engage in their
scheduled return swimming meet at
Philadelphia. In the first round of the
title tournament, it will be recalled, the
Quaker City players easily took the
measure of the Princeton team, consid-
cred at the time their most dangerous
rival; then received the surprise OF
their lives at New Haven, tasting de-
feat at the hands of the Blues green
and inexperienced seXtet.
Now Columbia and c. c. N. y. can
hardly hope to figure with the material
available, and Princeton has been beat
en- decisively, so it seems a foregone
conclusion that if Yale downs Penn
sylvania once more in the coming match
it will have a clear road to the pen
nant That the fight will be close in
Fridays game there is no question. The
battle at New Haven ended 3 goals to 2
in favor of the home team, but the
Pennsylvania men, who will have the
advantage of a familiar pool in this
instance, are determined to turn the
tables. The odds seem very even.
The last few days have been feature ID
by a numberfof brilliant performances
in water sports. Leading among them
may be mentioned the worlds record
plunge of 60 feet in 16 As seconds by
Benjamin Princell, Of the Illinois A
c., of Chicago; 1,000-yard swim in
10 minutes 81 seconds, or close to in
ternational pool figures. by Carbis A
| Walker, new star of exceptional
promise recently landed in this country
from Honolulu; 25-yard dash ir

worlds record, by Preston M. Steiger

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 9.-The Kentucky

gagements.
because of the demands war is max
ing on railroad transportation just now
1T is not likely that there will be a
great deal of shipping Of horses to
and fro between Maryland and Ken
lucky this coming spring. But the great
war Will not last forever, and an agree
ment as to dates between the Maryland
and New Louisville jockey clubs for the
future would help both races.
AS in the past, the Kentucky Derby

and q quarter for three-year-old OF
both sexes. The $4,000 will be added

be S25 and the starting fee $3.50 addi.

Size of Hens and Conservation.

My Aunt Clarinda," said the North
Alabama street car passenger, IS the
most practical patriotic woman know.
The food authorities may depend on
her when IT comes to meeting all de-
mandS for the conservation Of food.
For a long time she has been accus-
toned 70 having an egg for breakfast
one egg, no more. The hen whose
duty II was TO supply this egg was Of
plain country extraction, wholly deSti-
tute of pedigree. and laid an unusually
large egg. My aunt. thinking this over,
came to the conclusion that as meas
ure Of food conservation she could get
along with much smaller egg at
breakfast. What did she do? She put
that hen in the pot one meatless day
and got in her place a Seabright ban
tam that lays an egg less than two
thirds as large" indianapolis News.

GIVE COWS BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used by Animals in Quite Differ
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
| suits are always secured and the most
economic use of feeds is obtained by
| providing a balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes of nutrients in feeds, proteinS,
! carbohydrates, and fats, are used by
different animals In quite different pro-
portions. A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires Is called a balanced
ration. When enough of each of these
classes is fed there Is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount Of
one class of nutrients. Protein Is used
by the animal chiefly to form the mus
Giles or lean flesh of the body, the hair,
the horns. the hoofs and the casein in
the milk. The carbohydrates and the
fat are source of energy in the body,
as well as that of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising of a balanced ra-
ton Is not difficult If one has at hand
tables which show the digestible nutri-
ents of the various feeds. Many farm
ers, however, obtain good results by
more simple methods, and have found
the following rules useful:
l. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. If the roughage contains eight to
ten pounds of leguminous hay, such as
clover, cOwpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that 1t will contain
from IA to 16 per cent of protein. If
the roughage does not contain a large
proportion Of leguminous hay, but is
composed largely of corn silage, corn
stalks, and timothy hay. mix the grain
ration to contain 20 to "a per cent of
protein.
3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guern-
seys, giving milk testing per cent in
butterfat or higher, feed the grain mix
ture at the rate Of one pound to every
three pounds Of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 31h DER
cent In butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture to eyery
three and one-half to four pounds of
milk produced.
4. II the cow is in poor flesh and ia
giving good flow of milk, she will u.s.
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.
A copy of Farmers Bulletin No. TAB
which discusses the feeding Of dairy
cows, will be sent free on application
to the division of publications, United
States department of agriculture.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks, especially in preparing the
large amount OF food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks In office, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to 60 out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsulted to WON.

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
pan people sympathetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uatiOn and to render assistance. said
David f. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, In recent statement In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bOdled and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field Of agriculture at this time
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary IN
dertaking Of maintaining and, If posi-
bic, supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If 1t appears that the farmers Of
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders In the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see If they cannot assist In
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows It's own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Are
Averse to Calling in the Aid
Of Physician.

The cost Of doctors visit In China
ranges from to 10 cents. One would
think that, inasmuch as they are 80
cheap, nobody would be without doc
tors visits In China, but, as d fact. the
Chinese get along with as few Of them
as possible. The reason Is said to be
that the Monaghan doctors use such
abominable medicines. Extracts Of all
sorts Of creeping things enter into the
Chinese drug list, and people are
averse to taking them, except in case
OF extreme necessity.
1t Is possible that doctors have pur-
posely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as means of self
protection. 1t would be very wearing
to popular physician at cents a
visit; he might run his legs off and
get no sleep. He accordingly makes
himself unpopular through the me-
dunn of medicines decocted of beetles
and grasshoppers and such things. He
prefers simple poverty to poverty COM
plicated with running about.

And the hyacinthS whispered to the

There were the beautiful, bright tu-
