the Utmost Limit
Of Human Perfection

affairs by unceasing attention
to the idea underpinning this
Store, knowing that perfection
Is not absolutely possible in all
particulars in everything.
Attempting something impos-
sible was what nine-tenths of the
people said and thought about
this new Store when it was new
and it's plans untried and not
formulated.
We resolved, however,
to try
Had we not made the attempt
we would not have accomplished
what is here, though in all these
years we have been between the
hammer and anvil in forging
out and shaping and reshaping
what existed only in the mind
as an outline and is now shaped
to be seen with the naked eye.
We now realize that the best
workman is made best by work
ing, and we believe that prac-
tice makes = if not perfect -
something closely approaching
perfection, and for the latter we
shall always struggle.
We greatly hope that what we
have done through this. Store

There seems TO be little doubt that
the American flag is growth rather
than a creation. Few of the writers
have declared that both the stars and
the stripes were derived from the coat
of arms of Washington's family, which
contains both devices, but beyond
that colncident no other evidence has
been produced To prove this.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That the southern farmer who raises
can market them at handsome price
through steers of good quality, when
properly purchased. and can retain
fertilizing elements of the feeds on
his farm, is clearly shown in recent
Investigations by the United States
department of agriculture.
Three lots of native steers, grade
animals two to three years old, of
medium good quality, and averaging
about S25 pounds at the beginning of
the experiment, were fed for about
five months on full feed The ami
mails in lot 1 received a daily allow
snce of 39.1 pounds of corn silage, 81
pounds of cottonseed meal, 40 pounds
of oat straw; those of lot 2, 31.4
pounds of corn silage, rs pounds of
ear corn, pounds of cottonseed meal.
and 90 pounds of oat straw; and the
steers of lot 3, $50 pounds of corn
silage, 6 pounds shelled corn, pounds
cottonseed meal, and 3.5 pounds of
Oat straw.
At marketing time these groups of
animals averaged, respectively, 1.044.
1859, and 1906 pounds an animal, the
beeves of lot having accomplished
daily gain of 1.56 pounds, those of lot
.. 1866 pounds, and the animals of
group 3. II pounds during the feed
ing period.
When the pork made is credited to
the steers of lots 2 and 3, they paid
for corn at 20 cents a bushel. and
then made over $14 head profit, or
almost as much income as resulted
from the cottonseed meal-fed steers.
Without hogs following the steers the
feeding of corn would have been con-
eiderably less profitable than feeding
cottonseed meal alone. 1t cost 1888
to make 100 pounds of gain in the
case of lot 1, $10.S2 for lot 2, and S10.75
for lot 3, where no pork credit is given
the steers. Each steer in lots l, 2 and
3 made a net profit of S15.19, S11.S7,
and $11.4S, respectively, when no
credit is given the steers of lots 2
and 3 for the pork produced. This
pork credit probably amounted to
about So steer.
1t is particularly noteworthy that

these cattle during 34-hour :un

loss of thousands of lives from hun
ger and malnutritiOn. But the allied
council is ready for them on this point
with statistics that prove the infant
mortality in German cities would have
been kept at near normal If the dis
tribution of the country's milk supply
had been efficient. since the milk pro-
duction never was below As per cent
of the pre-war figures. Mortality in
hospitals, due to lack of rubber and
cotton, also was cited by the Germans.
To this the allies reply that the i'm
ports of rubber and cotton were much
in excess of hospital requirements. but
the authorities chose to devote these
supplies to military purposes, and for
this choice the allies cannot be held re-
sponsible.
These are the outstanding points in
the contemporaries made by the
Huns. They object. of course, to in
nummerable other clauses in the
treaty. especially the economic provi-
sions, and offer many substitutions
and notifications. Ii is not likely that
the council of four will require many
days to digest the document and re-
ply to it. Then the Germans will be
required to sign the treaty within
given time. presumably before June
15 If. unexpectedly. they refuse to
sign, they will be given y hours no
tice of the termination of the armistice
and then the blockade will be restored
with all its former rigidity and the
allied armies of occupation will adj
vance farther into German territory.
No one pretends that the Germans
could offer serious armed resistance to
such a movement. An indication Of
the unyielding spirit of the allies was
given last week when American and
British troops were landed at Danzig
and their warships began to gather
there.

ranged from "a to Ga pounds a head,
which indicates that silage, where
properly fed in conjunction with sup
Elementary grains, results in less
shrinkage in transit than where cattle
are fattened on grass and marketed
directly from pastures. The steers
under consideration in this experiment
made good killing records, the car
casses being well covered with fat
and generally satisfactory. The ami.
mails of lot 1 made a dressing record
of $50 per cent, those of lot 2, SIS
per cent. and those of lot 3, 57.4 per
cent of marketable meat.

"HE American flag is one Of
the easiest In the world to
make, since all of it's parts
are in straight lines. Any
schoolgirl who Is able to sew can
make flag for about one-half of what
1t will cost her at a store. and still
have stronger and more durable one
when she has II finished. There are
two principal ways Of proceeding in
the making of an American flag. The
one used by most persons is to de-
termine first the width of the stripes,
so that II the flag is to be made of
silk, ribbon may be purchased OF a
standard width. From this the size
of the flag may be determined. The
second method Is to decide either the
width or the length OF the flag and
then compute the amount of material
from the size decided upon.
Let us assume that we wish to
make flag from two-inch silk rib
bons, since two-inch ribbon Is a stand
ard size and may be purchased at any
dry goods store. Since the stripes
will be two inches wide, the width of
the canton, or the blue field, will be
seven times two inches, or ii inches,
and its length will be the same, since
the canton OF the American flag Is
square. The canton Is also one-thlrd
of the length of the flag. Then the
flag will be three times Ia inches,
which equals AZ inches and the width
being 13 times two inches. or 90 inches.
Thus, to use two-lnch ribbon, one will
have Il flag three and half feet long
and little more than two feet wide.
Material Needed.
The next thing Is To determine Just
how much two-inch ribbon must be
purchased, so that the stripes may be
made with little or no waste. There
are three full white stripes In the
complete length of the flag, which
equals 126 inches, and added to that
will be the three short stripes, two
thirds the length of the flag, or 81
inches, making a total OF 210 inches.
or about six yards. For the red stripes.
IL 10 htNtSSufs W uui out eAtTH SHOTt
red stripe of IA inches, which is
about half of yard. Thus, for a
flag made with two-inch ribbon, IL
will be necessary for the maker to
purchase six yards Of white and six
and a half yards Of red ribbon. The
canton will be seven inches square
and the stars may be made from
smaller widths of ribbon. There must
be 4S stars arranged in six rows of
eight stars each. BY using a ruler
the exact position Of the stars may
be determined and they can be easily
cut If paper pattern is made be-
forehand.
BY the second method. one deter,
mines the length of flag-for example
make the flag 81 inches long. BY ap
plying the same process of computa
ton backwards, the size of the can
ton will be seven inches square ant
the width of stripes one inch. The
! amount of material may be de
iermined by the same calculations uset
IN the first method.

At home In Germany the counter
proposals seemed to please no one.
The conservative papers denounced
them as too yielding and the radical
press said they did not yield enough.
None had much hope of their sue
cess.
According to correspondents in Ger
many. the Germans intend to sign the
treaty, but also intend to evade its
terms in every way possible. This
would mean that the allies would be
compelled to keep under arms large
force of collectors" The German
people. as whole. say these corre-
spondents, have adopted the position
that they will pay for the war only
what is forced out of them. They are
more united in spirit than at any time
before for several years. and cannot
be brought to see that they are a de-
feated. not a conquering people. In
other words, say these observers, Ger
many has not had enough whipping.

In the United States senate the bat
tie over the league of nations is pro-
ceeding merrily, and on Wednesday
the Democratic national committee

ed resolutions demanding that the
league covenant be ratified by the sem
ate, which is controlled by the Repub-
that the rejection of the covenant
would not be unwelcome TO them, be-
cause 1t would force the political is
sue.
Reed of Missouri delivered in the
senate a fierce denunciation of the
league, in the course of which he said
the covenant meant the domination of
the white races by the black, yellow
and brown races, his appeal being
chiefly to the southern and far west
ern senators. Senator Robinson Of Ar
kansas, also Democrat, replied to
Reed and challenged him to join him
in resigning and seeking reelection
as test of the sentiment of their
states on the league question.

fore the house committee on naval af-
fairs. formally withdrew his recon-
mendation for second three-year
program of battleship building which,
as he formerly said, was designed to
make the American navy the biggest i'm
the world Last winter he told the con-
gressmen that even with league of
nations the United States should have
navy as large as Great Britain's.
Now he says we must show our conf
dence In the efficacy of the league by
at least postponing any plans for such
naval increase.

Obviously the fireless cooker must
be used with intelligence to obtain the
best results. 1t is best suited to those
foods which require boiling. steaming,
or long. slow cooking in u moist heat.
Foods cannot be fried in 1t, pies can
not be baked successfully in the ordi-

may be partially roasted in the oven

they were roasted in the oven entirely
The classes Of food best adapted to
the cooker are cereals. soups, meats,

be such as require the same amount
