Works will be controlled by Work
ers' Councils, which will control work
ers and direct affairs Jointly with the
managers Everything belongs to the
community Independent specialization
is, therefore, out of the question. 1t is
the duty of the Workers, Peasants
and Soldiers Councils everywhere to
attend TO the protection of the Soviet

They will take over local authority and
control of the administration and are
responsible to the working people for
all actions and omissions.

ways and food, water lighting and

DAIRY
FACTS
PREVENT MILK PLANT WASTE
Managers and Employers of Dairy
Establishment Should Work to
Avoid Spoilsee.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A quart of milk wasted now is
about twice the loss it was few years
ago. and the financial loss, though
great, is even less serious than the
waste of this essential food Managers
and employees of market milk estab-
lishments should take every possible
precaution to prevent waste. Here are
a few suggestions along this line:
To Prevent Milk Waste.
Keep the shrinkage as low as pos
sibIe by close attention to leaks,
spillage and stopping.
Avoid milk piping as much as posi-
bile, since considerable milk will stick
to pipes at the end of the run.
Have milk watts so that they can be
drained readily.
Drain cans and all containers well
after dumping the milk.
To Save Fuel and Ice.
Utilize exhaust steam wherever pos
sible for heating the building and pro-
viding hot water for various dairy OPP
erations.
Avoid extra steam piping by proper
arrangement of rooms, thus avoiding
losses due to condensation of steam.
Keep steam valves and joints well
packed.
Keep doors of refrigerator room
closed. Do not work in refrigerator
more than necessary and do not leave
lights on.
To Save Labor.
Avoid use of milk pumps wherever
possible by adopting the gravity-fo
system. Extra labor is required for
cleaning pumps.
Avoid unnecessary labor by convent
ent arrangement of equipment and
rooms and through use of labor-saving
devices.
Other points which deal principally
with mechanical topics are included in
the recommendation, all of which have

FEEDING cows FOR PROFIT
Animals Must Have Liberal Ration at
All Seasons-Pastures Must Be
Supplemented. "

If dairy cows are to be fed for
profitable production they must re-
ceive liberal ration at all seasons.
In summer pasture generally is de-
pended upon, but often it must be
supplemented by soiling crops or si-
lage, and sometimes by concentrates
as well. For winter feeding, the ra-
ton usually is composed of hay, ST
lage, and a mixture of grains. In
properly balancing the ration the grain
mixture is compounded to fit the
roughage with due consideration for
cost, bulk, palatability, and physiologi-
cal effect upon the COW. For best re-
suits, cows must be fed individually,
sailed regularly, and furnished with
all the clean water they will drink.

CRISIS AT PARIS
Reports of Decisive Action by
United States Said to Be
Cause of Anxiety.
WILSON PLANS FOR RETURN.
Observance of Fourteen Points an Es-
sential to Peace, He Is Convinced.
Results of Discussions of Rep
arations Are Diseouraeing.

Paris.-President Wilson's orders
that the United States transport
George Washington proceed immedi-
ately to French port have aroused
much comment here. and are even
construed by some officials as prelim
mary to determined move TO force
an agreement at an early date by the
peace conference.
As is usual in such cases, various
rumors were soon in circulation, and
one report was current that the Presi-
dent had delivered an ultimatum to
the effect that he would withdraw
from the conference unless an agree
ment was reached within As hours.
1t is confidently asserted by those
close to the President that he did not
contemplate any such action. but the
same authorities have no hesitation in
declaring that the President has made
his position plain on the questions at
issue, and it is believed that his de-
termination to adhere to this position
is fixed
The summoning of the George

i'll such a position, it is pointed out.
that he cannot be embarrassed by
having to wait for his transport
should the time come when he might
wish, owing to failure of the peace
delegates to agree or unwarranted de-
lay in finding settlement of the
peace question, TO withdraw from the
discussions.
One of the Americans summed up
the situation saying: 1.-The chances
are favorable to an agreement, but we
have not agreed yet"
The principles which seem to be set
tied are that reparation and restora-
| ton shall be in accordance with the
| Presidents seventh and eighth points
and the Allies reply to the Presidents
note, and also that the actual damage
and destruction shall be the main ba-
sis for estimating the damages, and
| that the commission shall formulate

One hundred and fifty days after the

definite decisions. They were:

3-The Sasr valley is to remain Ger
man territory, but France is to get
coal free of duty to compensate her
for losses in the Lens fields and sup
ply the Lorraine iron industry.
Paris.-The responsibility of the
German Emperor for the war and the
means Of bringing him to trial by one
of the allied governments, probably
Belgium. have been definitely deter
mined upon by the Council Of Four.
There has been definite decision

The agreement on responsibility for
the war is understood to have been a
compromise between divided reports
presented by the commission of which
Secretary Lansing is chairman. There

No Partisan Wrangles.

One of the odd facts of the session
has been the almost total absence of
partisan wrangles in either house or
senate. At the beginning, when 1t
seemed certain that the equally divid-
ed Republican factions in the senate
spared for the election of the presh
dent and the more Independent ele-
,lent won with Senator Runyon, there
gould be frequent clashes, with prob
,tinority upon some pending measures,
sdt nothing OF the sort has appeared,
