SAMMlES GAINED 18,000 TONS WHILE
 IN WAR SERVICE

Our army is coming back to these shores 18,0O0 tons huskier than when it sailed overseas. according to the April number of the Red Cross Mag azine, whicvh reveals in an article on Housekeeping in Khaki" why re- turned doughboys literally burst out of the clothing they left at ' home. The average. increase in weight in the American army was 12 pounds to a man. This is due in very large meas ure, of course, to the seemingly linn itless flow of wholesome foods di- rected into 1.-the training camps and to France by the Quartermaster's Corps.
 "Secretary of War Baker is proud of this record" says the writer, Dav- i'd M. Hayes. "This war; he tells us, has, been the healthiest in history. The test he applies is the number, of deaths from disease. The best pre- vious record 25 per thousand per year, was attained by the Germans in the Franco Prussian war. Our record in this war was only eight per thousand per year. Now whose. is the credit for this emharrasing state of health among our troops? Answer: Largely the good housekeeping of our army. The Medical Corps did heroic service in keeping disease bugs away
 but the cooks, bedmakers and cloth. ing designers of the army helped make the bodies of our boys an in hospitable place for those same bugs to move into. In fact, the work, .ot their, Greatest Mother was, mucf frightened by their Greatest House
 keeper, the Quartermaster's Corps.

importanee if used for cream.

.%teNNA
 Storing cream in the kitchen or liv- ing room is undesirable both from the standpoint Of the temperature and also from the danger of contaminating the cream Witi foreign odors and flayors. Instance, have been found where the cream was kept in the sitting room with the temperature as high as sS de greesf. The cream. as result of be- ing exposed to this high temperature for several days became exceedingly sour. The acid in the cream may pre- cipitate the casein and large Jumps of curd will be found throughout the cream especially at the bottom of the can. Under these conditions the cream will develop very, strong eheesy flavor which can be tasted in the butter made from it.

THE COTTON GROWERS OPpOR
 TUNITY"
By J. R. Alexander)

How is your erop?" What is the price of cotton to-day?" There are no questions more frequently propounded in the South than these and they in volve the interests of more people than any other question.
 And yet 1t is regrettable fact that there has been q lack of cooperation between the producer of cotton, the merchant, who furnishes the grower, an the banker who finances the crop. It k to meet this condition that the Amer jean Cotton Association has been orga- nized. It is an established fact and not an experiment. It proposes to thor oughly organize every cotton county of the South, and Arkansas, which is one of the greatest of the cotton states, must do it's part in this forward move ment. The organization is progressing satisfactorily. but it is necessary that all persons interested in its success shall rally to the support of the state organi- zation in furthering the interests of the county units.
 Following is an excerpt from char acteristic letter received at headquar- ters from Mir (. Wilson. Chairman for Clark County.
 T hope that l may be of service in the organization that means so much to farmers, properly developed. The farm CT does not appreciate the scope of won- derful influence and power possible ii directed in full cooperative force He could set the price of practically all ne- cessities, dictate largely the political career of the country, and successfully manipulate the fly-wheei of commerce The world would eagerly take all he ulate, if he were one half as well orga- nized as the miners and the railroad employees. l hope his leadership will al ways be sane and safe, with a high sense of justice to all
 A new idea has dawned in the South and, through the Ageneyof the Ameri- can Cotton Association, the cotton far mer has at last an opportunity to come into his own. An organization is being formed which means the casting off of the bonds of slave and the true enamel patton of the South. l appeal to every farmer and every patriotic banker and merchant to support substantially the plans of the Arkansas Cotton Associa- tion when they are pressed through their county organization.

BETTER FARMING HINTS
Cool and Cleaz Cream Mean Better
 Butter

Care used in keeping cream free from contamination aU1 at the proper tenn peratnres until time for curning will repay in better utter is the advice of R. II. Mason. assistant professor of dai " husbandry, College of Agriculture University Of Arkansas.
 Ailk should b. strained and put in a cool place as SCOT as possible after it Is drawn from tte cow The cans should be well covered to keep out dust and insects. Tall "saotgun" cans are much better to use ttan shallow vessels for allowing the cream to rise if the milk is to be hand skinned If cream separator is used the cream should be put ill cool plaee immediately after separating.
 There are nufa5er of different places where milk and cream may be stored very satisfactorily. The storage room where milk or cream Is stored or held until churned should be clean, dry and free from all edoss such as decay or de eaying fruits ana vegetables as we'll as odors coming from the kitchen where meats and vegetables are being cooked \ cool spring offers one of the best and cheapest places for the storing of milk and cream An icleess refrigerst- tor which can be made on any farm is also d good plac5 for storing the dairy products. 1sle eethod of lowering vessel containing milk into well is satisfactory but ;nconvenient. The ice cream, but the nsc of ice on the farm box is a good way to keep milk or is rather expensive. The custom of placing cans ill tu5s or tanks of cold wa ter k one of the simplest and most ef- fective means fce controlling the tenn perature.
 Dry cellars are satisfactory for stor ing cream under certain conditions. The fact that the temperature of the cellar floor, as d rule, is lower than the tem- perature of the atmosphere is no guaran- tte bldt lit ce.-il Is cOiQ for the storing of cream and butter The temperature .1i the cellar may vary from D to as high as 75 degrees de- pending on the season. time of day and the efficiency Of tSe cellar to obtain low temperature. A damp, dark, musty cellar lar is a very bad storage room, while d well ventilated d. and cool one is very satisfactory.
 Cream should got be stored in a re- friecrator that is ased for d variety of food stuffs. Crp-sm absolbs odors very readily and butter made from such cream will have fruit or vegetable fla ver or mixture oi these and the fla vor of meat or otber food stuffs. While all refrigerators eeould be kept scrupu

New Rat Poison Will Secure Good Re
 suits

iat~ destroy many millions of dollars worth ef food annually besides carrying '-iseascs -ech as bubonc plague, trichi- nosis and probably many others. ! female 1at usually brings ten filters of youag in fourteen months. each lit ter ranging from six to twelve Through neglect and carelessness these filthy pests are often treated as guests.
 An effective rat poison which does not have many of the objectionable fea lures of other poisons has been found in recent experiments fthe Unl States Department of Agriculture is the announcement of J. W Read, Ex- pertinent Station Chemist with the Un iyersity of Arkansas. This poison is .Barium carbonate tbarytes) It is not of the barytes is that it acts slowly so that the rats have time to leave the building in search of water Conse- quently the animal seldom dies inside the building.
 The bait can be prepared by using one part oI finely pulyerized barytes to four parts of corn meal to which a little sweet oil k then added or it can he made into stiff dough with oatmeal and water. Also it is probably just as satisfactory to spread the barytes di- reetly on buttered bread, fish or other attractive bait
 Strychnine is a quick acting poison and should not be used where dead rats about building would be annoying In case it l. used. take conv venient quan titY on point of pen knife from the con tainer and place it in d slit on piece of meat or other bait If preferred, oat meal can bp mixed with syrup made from one-half ounce of strychnine dis solved in pint of boiling water. and then adding to this strychnine solution one pint of an inexpensive syrup.

Mr.. ). E. Murrell,
Columbia, KY,
Dear Sir:
Will you be kind enough to publish
in the News the following for me2
/ am informed that at the last cleo
tion, in which voted under the abb
sent voter law, 1, at the time being in
Louisville, that my vote was not count
ed. While my vote would in nowise
effect the results of the election, but
having lived in Adair county and
West Columbia voting precinct all
my life every one knows, and never
having changed my citizenship, | do
not want q precedent set of some per-
son or persons that knew nothing OF
my motives or intentions by denying
me the right to vote. The mere fact
that was then and Row am in Louis
Vile and engaged in business does not
change my citizenship. Before leav-
ing Columbia, l told such persons as
1 thought to be interested in my af-
fairs, that whether 1 remained in
Louisville or not that Columbia would
remain my home and voting placd.
then thought and now think like
wise that under these absent vote
law was entitled to vote, certainly
as much so as the many Others whc
voted under same conditions, AMI
whose votes were counted.
i L want it distinctly understood nov
by all who might be interested II
knowing, that am a citizen and yot
or of Adair County, and so expect +
remain wherever 1 may be,
Very Respectively,
