Holsteins Profitable

La Junta Tribune.-Some time ago
Governor Stubbs sold all his gradb
cows and took on a number of high
class registered animals, now num-
bering one hundred. The income
from the farm last year amounted to
approximately $4,000, and the ex-
penses were $4,000, these figures
including the money received for the
sale of the grades. However, this
herd was worth considerable more
at the end of the year than at the
beginning-hence the $4,000 profit
is an underestimate rather than an
over-estimate. II am raising pure
bred Holsteins for two reasons" said
Mr.. Stubbs this week. First, be-
cause I can make more money from
pure breds-providing raise the
best-than from the grades; second,
that being true, can do my country.
and particularly the neighboring
farmers. more good by helping i'm
prove the dairy stock of the country
producing plant. We need more high
producing dairy stock than we have,
and propose to be one to boost the
game"

The Small Town Girl and the Y. W.
G. A.

The boys nre coming home. The
the little town settles down into the
regular routine Of little-town life.
But the little town girl, whose every
thought has been of big things, for
the last two or three years, who has
thrown herself into Red Cross work,
Liberty Loan drives, who has done all
kinds of things to release men for the
army-what of her? She has become
citizen of the world; must she go
back to the small town interests of
ante-bellum days? Must the end of the
tumult and the shouting bring her II
dead calm-a vacuum? Must she be-
come an unhappy, restless member OF
her community? Not If new interests
can be given her. And that Is what
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton tries to do and in which 1t needs
The cooperation of the community.
The interests of the Y. w. C. A. are
he interests of girls and young wom-
en- all over the world; and soine of
that breadth communicates itself to To-
cal groups. At the Y. w. G. A. center
IL girl may study stenography and fit
herself for business. She may study
French, thus fitting herself for the
wider citizenship that is coming to nil
he world. She may attend the most
popular classes of all, the domestic sci
ence classes and learn to cook as well
aimost-as mother, to sew, to can
vegetables and fruits-in short to fit
herself for the life that every girl
hopes to lead, that of wife and mother
She may come TO the gymnasium and
develop physically along some partic-
ular line or just keep her health up to
the mark
If her community is thoughtful in
its financial provisions, she may learn
TO swim, to play basketball and tennis
and hockey and thus become robust
in these days OF little exercise She
may attend cafeteria and enjoy
good meal at minimum price. She
may attend Bible classes.
The Y. w. G. A. holds out its hands
to every girl in the land, anxious to
give her II chance In any direction that
may be particularly attractive to her,
to fill her life with whatever will be
most helpful to her. her family and her
town. All three of these must co-op-
crate with the Association. must bring
financial assistance and sympathy TO
make possible the things which will
enrich the life Of the small-tOwn girl,
when the captains and the kings de-
part from the world-stage.

WHAT OF FOUR-FOOTED
HEROES OF THE BIG WAR?

The world knows that millions of
men went bravely to their deaths in
the great war, but what of the four
footed heroes of the conflict? There
were millions of them, too. and they
had much to do with the winning of
the war for civilization.
What of the Missouri mule, which
played a glorious, If inconspicuous
part in the struggle? The British
Tommies welcomed his muleship
when he took Nj place on the firing.
line. but they haven't any use for
him now that peace has come. 1thei
Britishers distrust this faithful Amer
lean animal. They know he is a
worker. but they don't like the way
he manipulates his heels. Conse.
queutly the thousands of American
mules now in France have been con-
verted into as many white elephants.
Lloyd Allen, who is now in Europe
writing interesting stories about the
things that most correspondents
have overlooked. has written for this
paper very entertaining article in
which he tells the s,ory of the fourk
footed fighters and the problems that
have come up in connection with
their Rehabilitation. Mr.. Aliens ar
ticle under the heading, "Demobiliz-
ing Four-Footed Heroes of the War"
will appear in next weeks issue. You

With the Boys
AND THE GIRLS
Here and There
FROM WILLIAM H. BAKER

William H. Baker, one of Crowley
county's young men, in France, is
finding things dull where he is To-
Gated. He writes his mother, Mrs.
B. F. Baker. as follows:
Bannes, France, 1-12-19.
Dear Mother:
l am feeling fine but am awfulIy
tired of this town, and don't know
what to do with myself at times.
There is no "Y" or eny other place
here where one can pass away the
time. There are four wine rooms
here but l hardly ever go in them
for one is not very welcome In them
unless he buys drinks and drinks
them. I am longing to get back
home once again.
There were about three weeks of
the last of the war when did not
get a chance to write, and believe
me, the last three weeks were hard
ones and we had hard front to
take care OF. We were working
most of the time day and night, and
lots of the time without anything
much to eat We would get 4 little
sleep now and then, and then when
we could get where there was some
thing to eat we would feed pretty
SOOu. Uut TcIueuUST OHCc up tHcTe
on the front when we didn't draw
a thing to eat for four days. The
way we would eat in those times was
just when we could find can of
roast beef or box of hard-tack in
some of the deserted German dug
outs. I tell you it was pretty tough
war while 1t lasted, and 1 am glad
that it is finished.
l believe we will be on our way
home soon and 1 hear that we leave
for a camp down close to the port
soon. We will have to stay there
for some time to be reequipped.
We have been having a contest
the past week between the billets
in our company. The one that was
kept the uleanest thruout the week
and looked the best on Saturday
night at inspection the boys were to
get special privileges. Our billet
composed of twelve won Ours is
an old barn loft, but we had things

Communications
From the People
To The New Era.

To The New Era.
We read in Sle county papers
that one of our representatives hHg
presented a bin to the legislature
asking for a local herd law. making
it Illegal to allow sock to run dur
ing the growth of the crops. but that
after the crops are gathered the cat
tie can run.
This is as good as no law, as most
all of the people have lost their
crops after they were gathered a
six wire fence will not keep some
cattle out IL a stack of bean hull..
corn fodder. etc, is in sight. Some
homesteaders have no conscience,
and don't care. We need law com
pelling people owning cattle to herd
them the year around or pay dam
ages. II the cattle are mortgaged
who, then, can be made to pay dam
ages? So we say herd all the time.

Show How to Grow More Corn

Bureau, thru the county agent, last
year demonstrated how the yield of
corn could be increased by using ma
nure and acid phosphate and by lime
ing. On total of rs acres of corn
% farmers produced an average in
crease of 10 bushels an acre by
broadcasting loads Of barnyard ma
nure and 200 pounds of acid phos-
phate an acre. From group of fields
on which 3 carloads of ground limS-
stone were used the yield was in
creased an average of 5 percent. Two
lime pulvers were purchased and last
spring one farmer ground 200 tons
and another 100 tons of stone from

country. We came thru the battle
fields of Verdun and across Luxem-
burg thru Luxemburg City. 1t is
pretty place. situated on hill. 1t is
about the prettiest place I have seen
since leaving the United States.
We stop for the night at some
German town and get our billets-
sometimes in with German family
and the most of the people treat us
fine. We have bought some fine meals
from them, but they don't want to
take anything for them. but believe
me, the boys all pay their way here,
and 1t makes the people sit up and
take notice. They think that Ameri-
ca is the biggest and best spot on
the map now. We meet some who
can talk English. and they had quite

This village of oberkail is an old

They let us have the town hall for a

American style. We had a movie
show last night and the town people
came in big numbers. The people
are pretty friendly, but 1t hurts some
of them to see we boys going around
with our automatics full of "pills,"
and they are surely afraid of our
guns. There are some fine looking
girls here but 1t is mix ferstay,"--
