MISTAKE IN FEEDING COWS
one of Most Common Errors ls Not
to Give Good Animal Sufficient
Amount Of Feed.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculfure)
One Of the most common mistakes
in the feeding of dairy cows is that
the good cows are not given a suffi-
cient quantity Of feed above that re-
quired for their physical maintenance
to obtain the maximum quantity of
milk they are capahle Of producing.

while following as one follows a cul-

open to all young men regardless of
class or creed, and there are probably
ten thousand men and boys of mem
bership age available to the influence
of the association in Phoenix.
Because the association attracts
reaches and benefits hundreds of
young men who work for moderate
salaries and who need and deserve
some respectable place under Christian
influences in which to spend their So
cial and recreative hours.
Because the association, its friend
ships, fellowships, helpful counsel en-
vironment and privileges meet an
actual and vital need in the community
not met by any other single organiza-
ton.
Because the young men of today are
the husbands and fathers of the near
future, they are the social and political
leaders, they are our men of affairs
and business. The boys and young
men should have the very best training
possible for life's responsibilities.
Because the amount now devoted TO
the payment of interest on the debt
could and should be utilized in better
provision to meet the needs of the
boys and young men-a larger and
more efficient work would be possible.

BURY NE WHERE

NOT RESPECTED

The agitation for the return of the
bodies of the American soldiers now
in France recalls letter from a SOL
der, recently printed by the New
York Sun. A copy of it was furnished
The Republican by gentleman now
spending the winter at the San Mar
cos at Chandler, a friend of the
writer Lieutenant Conrad Crawford,
a former member of the staff of the
Evening Sun. The letter was written
in July, 1918. Lieutenant Crawford
was killed a month later:
My Dearest Mother:
Tonight 1 go up into the front line
trenches-the "baldheaded row." so to
speak. While l have infinite faith in
my luck and will battle to the last
when / have chance, 1 am writing
this letter just in case when you re-
ceive it you will know that you won't
see your youngest son again. 1 pray
that | may go in a manner to make
you proud.
Though many miles separate us,
mother dear, 1 can clearly see you,
hear you laugh, and feel your great
love, and it is with a sharp pang that
| realize | may never be with you
| again. But you must feel no pang.
You must and will, I know, be proud
of the sacrifice which you, with thou
sands of other mothers, have had to
make.
My love for each one of you, es-
! pecially for the dearest mother in the
| world, is so great that l cannot bring
myself to say goodbye. Dear father
is not with US, but 1 hope he knows
that l have done my duty with the
best that is in me and will pay the
supreme sacrifice proudly and without
regret A mans life in this war isn't
as much as a snap of the fingers.
Well. let's hope that in the months
to come we will both laugh heartily
over this letter.
4 With all the love in the world t
each of my family, affectionately,

TEN REASONS GIVEN
WHY PHOENIX yMCA
OUGHT To Be FREE

Campaign Director C. F. Coykendale
of the Y. M. G. A. has given the fol-
lowing ten reasons why the Phoenix
association should have a chance to
serve the community without the
present restrictions of debt:
Because Phoenix needs just such
place for the boys and young men to
spend their leisure under wholesome
influence
Because the association helps strug-
Cling young men TO help themselves
wise philanthropy. not a charity.
Because the association is a clearing
house in the interests of manhood. It
is a practical every day in the-year
agency of tested merit for the better
ment of boys and young men.
Because there are hundred and one
attractions of a demoralizing nature
open to young men. A well-equipped
association is the great counter at
traction. Its preventive value alone
makes it tremendously worth while.
Because Phoenix corporations and
business houses are able more and
more each year to depend upon the
association for young men of character
to enter their employ.
Because membership privileges are

MANY NEW ARRIVALS FROM THE CORN BELT. SEND STAPLE DOWN
Oats Also Finished Off, While the Provision List Was Unchanged To
 BOG Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 16.-Weakness developed in the corn market today owing more or less to predictions of material in- crease in arrivals within a week or 10 days. The market closed heavy h to 2ss cents net lower with July s1.dM to S1.s2 and September s551z to s1 555s. Oats fin- ished 9s to II cents off and provisions unchanged to 90 cents down.
 Selling pressure which resulted from the outlook for enlarged receipts of corn was based on advices that planting had been nearly completed in some sections and that the crop movement depended to great extent on the celerity with which field work should be got out of the way. Reports that So0,000 bushels of Ar genuine corn of excellent quality contain ing only Il pe' cent of moisture had reached New York tended further to give the bears an advantage in the late deal ings, especially as more of this corn was steamer and S1. 40 via sailer. On the other hand, assertions of a lack of sufficient available supplies here for immediate requirements was chiefly responsible for temporary strength which characterized the market at the opening.
 ing export sales of 100000 bushels of oats.
 Provisions were depressed by selling ascribed to stock yard houses.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York. May 1s-The cotton market has been no more than moderately active during the past week so far as futures are concerned, but has ruled generally steady to firm with prices making nes' high records July contracts, which afer selling at 27.29c on the bull movement of late last month. broke to 2s1Oc. have advanced to .s.o5c during today's trading. and new crop deliveries have shown sim liar or greater gains. This advance has been ins the face of rather a mora op- timistic view of the new crop start based or improving weather conditions in the south, and some of the local traders feel that if present good weather continues for another ten days the srst condition report of the season will be in the neigh borhood of the ten-year average
 Nothing has occurred to cause any change of sentiment with reference to the prospective acreage, with estimates of the decrease ranging from about 10 to b per cent.
 Under these circumstances the strength Of the market has been chiefly attrib- uted to the continued bulIish character of the news from the goods trade both at home and abroad
 According to cables prominent British trade authorities say if the present de- mand for manufactured goods in Man chester is sustained it will mean boom before the end of the season.
 Reports of an active demand at advanc- ing prices have been the feature of the news from the domestic goods trade and there has been buying of new crop fea- lures here by trade interests with both domestic and foreign connections. It Is said that agents of several European neutrals and new European nations are in this country 10 buy cotton and that their purchases will be limited only by tteir ability to establish credits.
 The presence of demand from one source to another has been reflected in the large spot sales officially reported in the southern markets and reiterated reports that the food shipping programme win be completed by the end of June have encouraged talk of increased ex- ports.
