BEEF AND LAMB
FAIR PRICES RAISED.

New York, Sept. 9.-An increase
of 3 cents pound in virtually all
cuts of beef and lamb was added
in the new fair price list issued here
by Arthur Williams, federal food
administrator. No increase appeared
in the grocery list, and pork was
quoted from "a cent to cent lower.
No reason was given for the in

COUNCIL OF FOUR HOLD

Belgians Probably Will Conduct the
Legal observation-disclosures
ton Also Decided.

Paris, April 10.-The responsibility
Of the German emperor for the war
and the means for bringing him to
trial by one Of the allied governments.
probably Belgium, have been definite
ly determined upon by the council OF
four.
This follows the definite decision on
the terms of PREPARATIONS for war dam
ages, whereby $5,OOO,OOO,OOO must be
paid within the next two years and an
interallied commission assess the re-
naming damage for a period OF 80
years. beginning May 1, 1921.
Thus, two of the greatest obstacles
which stood in the path of the rapid
attainment Of peace have been re-
moved within the last "a hours, and
the period of extreme tension over the
inactiOn and the failure to secure tan
gible results is succeeded by revived
confidence over the great advance
made toward permanent settlement.
How far these results are due to
the limitations conveyed by the sum-
moning to France of the United States
transport George Washington by Pres
ident Wilson is only conjectural. But
it is at least a coincidence that the
main difficulties began to dissolve
from the time that this decision be-
came known.

CLAIMED BY China
Custom of CoIoring Eggs Said
to Have Originated in
That Country.

"1HE custom of presenting
Easter eggs, like so many
other graceful customs orig
mated probably in China.
The following story accounts for the
use of colored eggs by the Chinese:
Wen Kung, one Of the wisest rulers
of the Tsin dynasty, to elude the
murderous snares of Li-Ki, his father
favorite wife, was compelled to flee
from his capital, Phu. In his flight
he was accompanied by his faithful
friend, Kiai-Tse-Tu. When, after an
absence of 10 years, the emperor, IN
625 B. c., again returned to power,
Kiai obstinately refused all the re-
wards offered him, and, to escape the
urgent solicitations of his grateful
sovereign. hid himself with his mother
in the NianShang-Shang CCotton
Mountains'). The prince. after long,
vain search, gave him up for lost, and,
in memory of his answering devotion,
changed the name of the mountains
into that they now actually bear. viz,
Kiao-Shan ("Unswerving Mountains'O.
Now. in connection with this story,
there is legend that refers to the
hard boiled eggs used by the Chinese

FLOWERS FOR
THE FARM YARD

Why not plant some flowers in your
much attention and will make the yard
SO much more beautiful.
And let's not plant all of them in
front Of the house. The housewife is
in the kitchen many hours every day,
so why not have some blossoms in the
back yard, where she can see them
from the kitchen window? 1t is SO
pleasant to look up from the dishpan
while washing dishes or Smelling peas,
pairing potatoes or any of the other
million duties, and see flowers in the
back yard
Here are suggestions for flowers for
the farm given by F. A. Aust Of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
In order to make the flower garden
success with the least amount of
effort, the farm housewife must select
her flowers with care. The perennial
flowers are probably the best for the
farm. They come up each year from
the ground without planting and take
of the time.
Such flowers as hOneySuckles with
their fragrant blossoms, larkspur with
its snowy blue spurred flowers, the
charming black-eyed susan with its
store of legends and songs which have
been written of it, are a few of the
flowers which, when planted, will come
up themselves in future years. Other
attractive flowers which belong to this
group are the peonieS, bleeding heart
and the carpetician hairbell.
These flowers are especially adapt
ed to the climate of Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Illinois They grow well in
rich soil which is fairly well drained
They may be purchased from any near,
reliable nursery and planted in sunny
places. Planting should take place in
the spring as soon as the danger OF
frost is past.
Flowers are best planted near
shrubbery bed, instead of the center
of the lawn. After planted, the only
attention these flowers need is little
water when the heat of the day has
gone A good soaking once or twice
a week instead of sprinkling every day
is still better treatment.
Flowers to Plant Every Year.
Many beautiful flowers are to be
found among those which require the
planting of seed every year. Flowers
such as sweet alySsum, phloX, snap
dragons. calliopsis, early cosmos and
verbenas are some of the blossoms
that have particularly brilliant and
lovely coloring. These may be chosen
for their hues. With such paintings
as these, the farm yard is made beau
tiful with little labor and effort. Flow
ers on the farm are decidedly worth
while.

ESUS of Nazareth was dead,
II and his bruised body had
been laid n, the new-cut tomb
Of Joseph Of Arimathea. Joseph
was rich man Who believed IN Je-
sus; whera the word came from the
hill called Gozgotha that Christ ar0s
dead, Joseph had gone to PLATE, the
Roman judge, who had found no
fault IN this just man, and begged
Christ's body. He had wrapped the
body IN fresh linen and laid 1t IN q
mew sepuZcher, where no mans body
had ever been. And a great stone
was rolled IN front Of the entrance
of the sepuzcher, and 1t was sealed.
All was over, the disciples told
each other; their master was dead,
and the dream. ended. There was
black despair among these humble,
zovimg followers.
Now, early IN the morning Of the
first day Of the Jeavish week, two
days after the crucHnion, Mary
Magdozene, and Mary, mother Of
James, went to the sepuzcher, taxi
ing with them spices and ointments
bought out of her> sconty savings,
wherewith to anolnt the body of
Jesus. 1t was the last service they
might do him. And as they went
along they avondered how they would
roll back the heavy stone from the
door of the sepulcher, that they
mlgh: enter IN.
b. mhen they were come to the
sepulcher, behold, the stone was
rolled array and, entering, they
found the body of Jesus was not
there; the linen clothes lag there,
avhereln Joseph had wrapped his
Lord, and the linen cloth that had
been bound around his head, folded
and zaid aside. And they began to
weep. Then they saw two men,,
aviM garments Of light, sitting one
at the foot and the other at the
head, where the body Of Jesus had
been, and the men said:

silt loan soil, 300 pounds of acid
phosphate, costing about 49, increased
the yield Of oats this year from 1914
to 81 bushels an acre. Selling at 60
cents a bushel it nets profit Of $3.50
an acre. At normal prices for fertiliz-
ers and 40 cents for oats the net profit
would be just Sc an acre.
On marsh soil in Price county, an
application of 275 pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of sulphate

SAT- over the total investment for feed
1t is interesting to note that it took
the pigs fed the corn 73 days to reach
24O pounds weight. Pigs fed ground
barley and oil meal took 1912 days tC
reach the $40 mark. At the beginning
of the test all of the pigs weighed the
same amount, 1913 pounds.
Ground barley was found to be a
more satisfactory feed for pigs than
barley feed, while tankage and barley
made better feed than oil meal and
barley. The Wisconsin farmer will
find it much easier to buy oil meal
than to buy tankage.
Barley will continue to be grown at
profit in Wisconsin, believe experts
and q market will be found in the in
creasing use of barley for fattenine
pigs and feeding dairy cows.
