TALLY, while the mixture is vigorously
stirred. This emulsion is applied In
very much the same manner as the
stick caustic, except that it is neces-
sary to employ short, stiff brush.
Sometimes a meat skewer is used, the
large end being mashed to form a
stubby brush. Two or three applica-
tons should be made to each horn
button, as in the case of the stick
caustic, with intervals to allow it to
dry.
In the very young calf the horn
button, or point that will ultimately
develop into a horn, has scarcely any
attachment to the skull, and may be
felt as a small button embedded in
the skin. In this early stage it may
be easily removed with sharp knife
or a pair of curved scissors, but even
then caustics should be applied to kill
any remaining cell life belonging to
this germ point; otherwise there may
be some subsequent irregular horn
growth, which is more or less of
Disagreement.

WaShington.-The war cost tne
United States directly about $22,OOO,
100000, or nearly enough TO pay the
entire cost of running the American
government from 1871 up to the out
break of the European war. For every
hundred American soldiers and sail
ors who served in the war with Ger
many two were killed or died OF dls
ease during the period of hostllltles
The number of men serving IN the
armed forces of the nation during the
war was 4,S00,0O0 of whom 4,OOO,oot
served in the army.
These facts are set forth in sta
tistical summary of "The War With
Germany" compiled under the direc
ton of Col. Leonard p. Ayers, chief OF
the statistics branch of the general
staff of the army.
This summary, just published by
Colonel Ayers by direction of the sec
rotary of war, is a complete review oil
Americas participation in the war
against Germany condensed into. less
than $50 pages. 1t is a detailed sum
mary of American military operations
and yet the long statistical tables
usually found in official reports are
entirely lacking.
Col. Leonard p. Ayers is the only Of
ficer from civilian life who has risen
to the position of chief of division
of the general staff. Before the wal
he was a director of the Russell Sage
Foundation. He was chief statistical
officer of the peace committee. After
his return here he received the dis
tinguished service medal.

Some of the statistical summaries
In the report show:
The war cost the United States con-
siderably more than $1,000000 an hour
for over two years.
Americas expenditures in the war
were sufficient to have carried on the
Revolutionary war continuously for
more than a thousand years at the
rate of expenditure which that war
actually involved.
During the first three months ex-
penditures were at the rate of $1,000
900 day. During the next year they
averaged more than $22.000,000 day.
For the final ten months the daily
average was over $44,O0O,000.
The total war costs of all nations
were about 6,000,O00,00O, of which
the allies and the United States spent
two-thirds and the enemy one-third.
The three nations spending the
greatest amounts were Germany,
Great Britain and France, in that or
der. After them come the United
States and Austria-Hungary, with sub
stantially equal expenditures.
The United States spent about one
eighth of the entire cost Of the war

their own artillery for rs days, by
British artillery for five days and by
French for one and half days.
In round numbers, America had in

AirpIane Production.
When the United States entered the

$500 service planes.
Aviation training schools in the
United States graduated 8,602 men
from elementary courses and 4,02S
from advanced courses. More than s.
900 pilots and observers were sent
overseas.
There were produced in the United
States to November 80, 1918, more
than 5000 training planes and more
than 10000 training engines.

American air squaGrons brought
down in combat 755 enemy planes.
while their own losses of planes num-

American divisions were in battle
for 200 days and engaged. in 13 major
operations.
From the middle of August until the
end of the war the American divisions
held during the greater part of the
time a front longer than that held by
the British.
In October the American divisions
held 1O1 miles of line, or % per cent of
the entire western front.
In the battle of st. Mihiel $4,000
Americans were engaged, compared
with about 100000 on the northern
side in the battle Of Gettysburg. The
artillery fired more than 100000
shells in four hours, which is the most
intense concentration of artillery fire
recorded in history.
The Meuse-Argonne battle lasted for
Al days, during which 100000 Amcri-

PREVENT HORNS ON CALVES
Either Caustic Soda or Caustic Potash
Without Other Substances Is
Satisfactory.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture.)
When circumstances are favorable,
as in the case Of farmers who build
up their herds by raising the progeny,
the horns may be prevented from
growing by simple and practically
painless method, and the custom of
preventing the growth of the horns is
becoming more popular and more gen.
orally practiced under all conditions
except in the case Of calves dropped
on the open range. The calf should
be treated not later than one week af-
ter it's birth, preferably when 1t is
from three to five days old. The agent
to be used may be either caustic soda
or caustic potash, both Of which may
be procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness of
an ordinary lead pencil and inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cuticle
and may make the hands or fingers
sore. The preparation of the calf con-
sists in first clipping the hair from the
parts, washing clean with soap and
warm water, and thoroughly drying
with a cloth or towel. The stick Of
caustic should be wrapped in a piece
OF paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick I'M
covered.
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub it on the horn buttons or little
points which may be felt on the CATS
head, first on one and then the other,
alternately, two or three times on
each, allowing the caustic to dry after
each application. Be very careful to
apply the caustic TO the horn button
only. IL it is brought in contact with
the surrounding skin it will cause pain.
Be very careful also not to have too
much moisture on the stick Of caustic,
as it will remove the skin If allowed
to run down over the face. After treat
ment, keep the calf protected from
rain, as water on the head after the
application of caustic will cause it to
run down over the face. This must
be carefully avoided.
Either caustic soda or caustic pot
ash alone, without the admixture of
other substances, answers the purpose
satisfactorily. Some years ago, how
ever, certain preparations or "dehorn-
ing compounds" composed largely Of
one or the other of these caustics,
were generally used, and as inquiries
are still occasionally received concern
ing such preparations, the following
formula is given: Combine in an
emulsion so per cent Of caustic soda.

Orphaned FaWn Adopts
Man as Its Guardian


Williamsport, Pa. = George
Hummel, a resident of Liberty,
while fishing at the head of
Gray's run, heard a fawn bleat-
ing in the woods up the noun
tain side, and upon investiga-
ton came upon q strange sight.
On the ground lay a dead doe
with dead fawn by her side,
while q live fawn stood guard
nearby. The live animal had
worn a path where it had trot-
ted around the body of the moth
er. There were no bullet holes
in the carcass. Mr.. Hummel had
some cookies in his pocket
which he fed to the little fawn,
and the animal followed him
home, apparently content that it
had found a friend. Mr.. Hum
mel reported the case to a game
protector and is caring for the
fawn.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Spurred on by the welcome, if long
delayed action of the chief executive,
all available forces of the federal gov
eminent are devoting themselves to
the task of reducing the cost of sliv-
ing, and they are receiving the en-
thusiastic cooperation Of state and
municipal bodies and officials all over
the country.
Attorney General Palmer sent out
instructions and authority to confscate
at once boarded food stocks, and large
quantities of foodstuffs in warehouses
were seized in Chattanooga, Tampa,
Jacksonville, Fla; Fort Sam Houston,
Tex, and other places. In every case,
according to Mr.. Palmer's instructions,
the names of the hoarders and the
amounts of food seized were made pub
lie, for it was thought the publicity
would result in the immediate release
of excessive amounts Of foOdStuffS
that have been withheld from con-
sumption The attorney general CEN
tered his attention especially on Chi
cago, not only because it is the great
but because he had learned the spec
ulators there had been particularly and
perniciously active. The Chicago
packers, naturally, are the chief tar

in control of the cold-storage business,
not only there but all over the coun-
try. This they deny. Senator Nickel

regulation of cold-storage plants and
in supporting it he told of the vast
amounts Of poultry, eggs and butter
in storage and of the apparent exorbi-
tant profits made on those cOmmodi-
ties by some middlemen. Louis Swift
says he has been and is in favor of
regulation of storage methods; and
President Horn of the American Re-
frigerating association asserts his or
ganization would not object to reason
able regulatory measures, but that
most of the suggested plans are too
drastic.
The governments fight against the
sugar hoarders also centered in Chi
cago. and the first test case is that
against the officials Of the Central Su-
gar company who were arrested a
week or more ago. Henry Ii. Rolapp,
head of the sugar distribution COM
mittee of the food administration, said
the situation was serious, as Gamers
and dealers were clamoring in vain
for sugar. The railway shopmens
strike entered into this, as 20,00Q,OO0
pounds of sugar was delayed in Cali
fornia by lack of cars. Mr.. Rolapp
said that in a few days the arrival of
cane sugar from New Orleans and beet
sugar from the West would flood the
market.
The entire food crusade had its eff
feet on retail prices, in some instances
only Slight and in others, notably po-
tatoes, very marked. The federal
agents intend to go after the retail
grocers and butchers for profteering,
as well as after the bigger game, and
before long the suffering consumer
may get relief that will actually affect
his bank roll.
In Boston a grand jury investigation
elected the rather surprising informa-
ton that the American people demand
shoes of high grade and high price and
scorn the cheaper grades, of which the
manufacturers say they have large
stocks. In way this is borne out by
