Is the duty of the American people,
and l believe they will regard It as
their privilege to approach the Fifth
Liberty Loan with some degree OF pa
triotism and not altogether on COM
mercial basis"
This was the answer of Secretary
Of the Treasury Carter Glass to the
bankers Of Pittsburgh when they told
him the Fifth Liberty Loan should be
sold to the American people on cold
blOoded business basis.
Is there no obligation on US to
recompense the heroism and valor our
brave boys?
The floating of the Fifth Liberty
Loan, the Victory Loan which will
begin April 81. is an absolute neces-
sity The Government is spending
more money than ever, and the bills
are coming in faster than ever. The
last loan was all used up in Decem-
Der and since then the Government
has been borrowing about two billion
dollars a month against the accruing
taxes of March Is and the coming
loan.
Our national honor requires that all
our debts be paid promptly and the
slate wiped clean Moreover. the men
abroad, some two million of them, are
to be brought home when the Euro
pean situation is safe for Democracy.
Meantime they must be provided for.
This is no time to slow down in our
systematic efforts to save. The rails
ing Of money by the billions Is a mat
ter of heroic saving
Reserve funds must be accumulated
in the national banks by the innumer-
able savings of millions of people
Twenty cents a day spread over q
population of one hundred million
people would roll up the enormous
sum of seven hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars a month in savings.
The duty and obligation of the peo-
pie is to save money and economic
as wisely as possible, so that they
may be ready to do their part when
the Fifth Liberty Loan is offered In
April.

Growing chicks will not eat to-
much if they have plenty Of range so
they can get the desired exercise. \
good growing mash should be Access
sible at all times; one with plenty of
bone meal ground very fine, fine
ground oats and barley. The best
success with any mash is to have it
ground very fine. This is point
that should not be overlooked.
Growing chicks that are kept close
ly confined need much greater atten
ton along all lines. Green feeds
must be furnished, that is, green
feeds that have not wiItcd down to al
most the decaying point; the yards
must b. kept sweet, and culling also
is more essential when closely con-
fined than when on free range.
We feel that you do not need any
more advice on lice and mites, still
at the same time it might be we'll fer
YOU to look over the young chick :
again as you know hot weather is the
paradise for lice and mites. SO be
careful, be sure, don't be sorry. Look
out for lice.
1t might be a good idea to use a
| little discretion in selling those broll-
crs. Putting them into box OF
crate and receiving whatever is handed
out to you is not real good business.
I;rst let US suggest that you shut

colnmeal or hest quality hCminy meal
four pounds of good quality wheat
|middlings and two pounds of sifted
meat scrap. If the siftei meat scrap
lis not available sift some yourself {.
Mix this with water or any kind OF
milk, if available, and feed as wet
mash. For grain feed cracked corn.
From Ten to twelve days is the longest
that this method should be used. In
the meantime look up a customer tell
ing him of the special care and feeding
that you have given them and that
you must have an extra price, and
your stock will soon be in demand.
We are we'll aware that this takes

This IS what the big packers are doing.
The one quarter to ore pound or more

Perhaps many people live in places
where they cannot dispose of tn"
chickens TO the large concerns. This
is all the more reason for making tho

Lest we forget we want to say in
conclusion that May, June, July, Au-

SLOUCHY WOMEN.

Clothing probably has great
deal to do with the slouchy posture
so many young women seem to -sf-
feet nowadays. Round shoulders,
flat or sunken chest, ptosed or sag
ging abdomen, one knee caving in,
and pronated feet pointing outward
when she walks-the fashionable
young woman of the day evidently
lacks something. The something is
quite obvious-it is physical educa-
tion.
Between the ages of thirteen and
eighteen-high school age-a vast
number ofgirls go wrong physical
ly, for the simple reason that the
educational authorities do not care
whether students receive any phys
ical' training or not, so long as they
pass their mental tests.
The more l learn about woman
and her ills, and certainly / have
still whole lot to learn. The more
l feel that, aside from the unhappi-
ness and suffering she is doomed TO
suffer as her recompense for man s
beastliness, the,most of her troubles
are attributable to neglect of her
physical education. The foundation
for those troubles is laid at the age
of thirteen or thereabout, when she
reaches the high school, discards
her dolls, lengthens her skirts and
begins to yearn for something re-
sembling corsets and high heeled
shoes. And her foolish, ignorant, m
dulgert mother falls right in with
the idea and encourages the bud
ding woman to follow the Same old
path that made the way of the late
lamented Lydia a bower of dollar
bills.
At thirteen, if not before, a girls,
physical education should certainly
begin. From thirteen to eighteen
years Of age she must devote rea-

Land for the Doughboys.

Homesteads, with buildings and equipment
to make them ready for immediate occupancy,
will be- provided for soldiers and sAilors who
wish to engage in farming, if bill proposed
by the secretary of the interior is not defeated
in the next congress, as was a like measure in
the last.
Secretary Lanes plan is to purchase lands
in all sections of the country, to subdivide the
tracts thus acquired, to build on each PARCEL
house and barn, and put the ground into con-
-dition for use for truck gardening, farming or
grazing as the character of the SOIL the eli
mate and other factors dictate.
These settlements will not be scat cred hap
hazard but will ~be established as communities
so that the homesteaders may have the advan-
tages of churches schools telephones trans
porta.ion and markets. The government will
allow the soldiers and sailors maximum 81 40
years in which to pay for their land and homes
Money will be advanced also for the purchase
of machinery equipment and livestock These
loans will be for short period. Interest at
rate of not more than per cent will be charged
by the government
With the appropriation of $100.O00,0o0 which
the bill will authorize, the interior department
estimates $4,000 \homesteads ranging in area
from to 100 acres can be purchased and de-,

What Is Back of It?

why make such fuss over so small a
matter? If Italy wants Fiume so badly
wouldn't it be wiser to let her nave it than to
break up the peace conference and lose what
we fought the for?"
That question, or something of the same
general purpOrt. has been asked from time to
time since It became apparent that there might
be schisp over the subject among the allies
President Wilson'S public statement ad-
vanced reasons which TO most people will seem
sufficient. He said peace cannot be concluded
on certain basis with one nation and on a
different ebasis with another There is great
deal behind that assertion
When all the facts come out it is likely to
be disclosed that the American delegation is
contending for something considerably more
important to America than disposition of the
rights to a small strip of the Adratic coast.
AS between the Italians anu the Jugo-savs
this country, if it were a popular off-hand
choice, would NATURALLY favor the former. but
is interest. in any event would be more or
less perfunctory If, however, the settlement
established precedent which might be used
later to decide questions directly involving
American relations with other first class pow
ers the issue probably would be considered
worth contending for.

with the peace conference, know to what ex-
tent other decisions are involved with the
regarding the Italian demands. We know that
Japan is thabenefciaEy-of another secret COM
pact involving the ownership of Asiatic terri
tory of which Germany was dispossessed. We
know, too that Japan lays claim on similar
grounds to islands in the Pacific which, if al
lowed. might conceivably involve a conflict
with American interests and interfere with the
commercial advancement of this country. If
Italy carries its point Japan will have right
to expect also to receive favorable considera-
lion. There is telling how far af1eld the
roots of the Fiume controversy extend
OF thing Americas course in the
last few years should make us reasonably Ger
tain, and that is that President Wilson is not
the man to barter away world victory for
mere bauble. much less to crafty personal
whim. What he is contending for is vital or he
would have not made final stand
