Home Preparation of Meat

The cost of meat cured on the farm
is much less than that purchased from
the retailer. An average 200-pound
hog should dress 16O pounds.
For the past ten years this $50
pounds of meat could have been pro-
duced, slaughtered and cured on the
farm for $3.50 less than it would have
cost the farmer at his local market.

Feed Versus Snow Bank

With $50 tons of fodder, 700 tons
of silage, 500 tons of alfalfa, the Fort
Hays Experiment Station is practic-
ing what it has been preaching on pro
viding feed against the snow storms
in Western Kansas. This year the
Station, like many farmers, has quite
a quantity of buffalo grass yet unused
but buried beneath a blanket of three
inches of snow and the feed supply of
the Station is being drawn upon to
tide the cattle on the range over a
period in which they might suffer and
lose weight.
Sorghums will grow anywhere in
Western Kansas. This sorghum can
be either shocked and fed dry or used
to much better advantage as silage.
Pit silos can be dug almost anywhere
in Western Kansas, and some can af-
ford above-ground silos. The Hays
Station results show, that, if cattle are
fed from twenty-five to thirty pounds
OF silage, pound to one and one-half
pounds of cotton-seed cake, with all
the straw they viii eat, they will come
through the winter with slight gain.
Last winters feeding results showed
that even Russian thistle hay could
be substituted for alfalfa hay without
appreciate loss to the cattle. The
whole problem in Western Kansas Is

Mrs. John EroaIich

Death has taken away another one
of our old settlers that shared the
hard times in the pioneers life. Mrs.
John Froelich was born in Austria,
Germany, in 1881. Together with
her husband and two children, John
and Katie, she came to the good old
U. S. A and settled in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin, on a farm that was
nothing but trees and bushes. There
they worked hard for twenty years
to clear the ground. Discouraged,
they sold out and came to Kansas and
settled on a farm six miles north of
Walker. There they had failures and
hard luck but were ambitious and
kept on trying, saving, and denying
themselves until they were comfort
ably fixed with a good $50 acre farm.
In 1886, Mr. Froelich died Most
of the children were married, but she
still kept the farm going with the help
of her daughter, Anna, until in 1901
she bought a home in Hays, and
death, November IS, 1919.
She was a good, ambitious wife and
kind and devoted mother, and the
greatest of the three, true Catholic
christian. At the age of SO she would
go to church on her crutches
She leaves to mourn her, seven
children, Frank, Charlie, George, Mrs.
Kate Hoff of Gorham, John of Kan
sas City, Mo-, and Agnes, Sr. M.
Charles of Sierra Madre, Calf, thirty
grandchildren, and twenty-five great
grandchildren.

City Managers Report for Month of
November
To the Honorable Mayor and Mem
bers of Commission, Hays, Kansas.
Gentlemen:
My report for the month of Novem-
Der is as follows:
During the month we have pumped
5,973,15O gallons OF water generated
1868 XIV of electricity with con-
sumption of 1873 tons of coal and
26,398 gallons of fuel oil.
The power house switch board load
was distributed as follows:
Street lights, 1920 XVIII
Ornamental lights, 418 XVIII
Pumping water, 8078 XVIII
Commercial & line loss, 27O44 XVIII
Total 38658 XVII
The fuel situation at the power
plant remains unchanged, that is, our
supply has kept up with our consump-
ton and we still have better than 80
days fuel supply on hand, and we con-
tinue to receive fuel oil on our con-
tract at regular intervals.
We have suffered two fires this
month, an account of which has been
fully covered in our newspapers, and
while our Fire Department did ex-
ceptionally fine work, it was never
theless apparent that they were in
need of more equipment to do with,
and I wish to impress upon all, the
immediate need of adequate fire
fighting equipment.

bursements for the month of Novem-

SOCIALISM IJNMASKED

II any NOnpartlSan League A0iIheA
is now out of coal, he has only the
Nonpartisan League agitators and
soap-boxers to thank. The esteemed
agitators helped materially in organ
izing the coal miners for the strike,
particularly in the Usage County
fields. That's what the Nonpartisan
member gets for his SIG.
The big l. w. w. trial now IN pro-
gress at Kansas City furnishes some
interesting sidelights. In examining
the prospective jurors, Fred Robert
sons chief concern is in learning
whether or not they are members of
the Nonpartisan League; whether
they have been solicited to join that
organization; or whether they are IA
miliar with the philosophy Of that
society. The government is not tax
ing any chances on that kind of
juror.
The Missouri American Legion has
Joined the Kansas Legion in its cam
paign to prevent the so-called Non
partisan League from hosting the red
flag in these parts. Again we say,
the esteemed League took on SOME
CONTRACT when it declared war on
the American Legion.
One of Townley's red-fag soap
boxers who recently addressed a
capacity house (Nonpartisan Leaguers
only in the court house at Great
Bend, said: 81 say to you that those
persons who during the war, came out
to your farm and mine and compelled
you and me, against our desires, to
buy bonds and make various contri-
buttons, are nothing but "spit-straws"
for Wall Street. He then defantly
challenged any local F'spit-straw" to
come up and debate the point. Meet
ing with no response, he waved ten
dollar bill at his audience and offered
it to any "WaH Street spit-straw"
who would even come up and permit
his audience to have a look at him.
THAT'S what the farmer gets for his
SIG.
When working among people whose
religious teaching impels them to
abhor Socialism, the Townley agitat-
ors advance some very clever and sub
tie arguments to prove that the Non
partisan League experiment is in no
wise analogous to Socialism. They
very positively deny that the League
is controlled by the old Appeal to
Reason crowd.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT"

Uncle Sam wants his people to
make thrift and .saving-taught by
the war-a permanent habit. To
popularize wise spending, intelligent
saving, and safe investment, the
United States Treasury and the De-
partment of Agriculture have pre-
pared a series of leaflets which tell
how to distribute incomes in what
economists consider the best way.
For the small family or the large, the
message on these leaflets is expected
to prove helpful.
The result desired is that the Am
erican people shall spend freely, but
think before they spend in order that
they may get full values. These leaf
lets teach that wise spending in
wolves weighing present needs and
desires against future needs and de-
sires, while intelligent saving end
investment provide for future spend
ing, whether to cope with rainy-day
emergencies or to- take advantage of
sunny opportunities. Practice of
these principles will make for fam
last man in South Carolina to stand
credit and buying power and directly
contribute to community and ma
tional wealth and prosperity.
What one home wastes is taken
away from the Nations wealth and
makes all homes that much poorer,
the first leaflet states, and in it
are enumerated the things, that
household thrift demands.

WIDER USE OF LIBERTY BONDS

Lewis B. Franklin, director Of the
War Loan Organization Of the Unit
ed States Treasury Department has
issued the following statement re-
garding the enlarged use Of Liberty
Bonds under the new revenut act:
"The Revenue Act Of February "a,
1919, permits the use of Liberty
Bonds, or other securities Of the un-
tied States" " wherever and whenever
a penal bond Of any kind is required
by any act Of Congress or any rule
or regulation Of any Department Of
the Government. These bonds Jill
be accepted at par. !; and if coupon
bonds are deposited the depositors
will be allowed the privilege Of hav-
ing these bonds converted into regis
tered bonds during the time that
they are held on deposit by the Gov;
ernment as security or in the event
that they prefer to retain their cou-
pom bonds, arrangements will be
made for detaching the interest cou-
pons at stated intervals and forward
ing such coupons to the depositors
under regulations which will be pre-
scribed by the Treasury Department
for the Government as a whole. .
"This legislation offers AN oppor-
tunity for the enlarged use of bonds
Of the Government by the contrac-i
tors who may prefer TO deposit Sc
curities of this kind instead of re-
sorting to the use Of individual or
corporate surety bonds.
:: 1T is believed that the action Of
The IGnaertm snt lin this respect will
encourage fmaAicipalities, counties,
and institutions in accepting Liberty
bonds asj security fot the perform
ance Of public contracts or the full
fillment of public trusts. Regulations
covering the use of Liberty bonds
and other securities Of the United
States are now being prepared by the
Treasury Department and will be
published for the Information of the
bond-approving officers of the Gov
eminent and others who may be in
terested, in a few days."
