BENEFITS OBTAINED
FROM BETTER SiRES
Farmer Increases Products and
Receives More Money.
Crusade Launched by Department o,
Agriculture Will Eventually Result
in Reducing Cost Of Living
to Consumer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The definition Of the term "pure-
bred sires" Is written in one word
ECONOMY" There are many defin;-
tons, many Of them learned and long,
that might be written, but the breeding
experts Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, when they met to
launch the state and national crusade
for "Better Sires-Better Stock"
agreed that the primary meaning Of it
Is economy.
The scrub hog requires a certain
number of bushels of corn to make 200
pounds Of pork. The pure-bred or high
grade hog takes the same number of
bushels of corn and makes 300 pounds
Of pork. The pure-bred or high-grade
cow makes three gallons of milk out
of the same quantity of silage that the
scrub COW uses to make gallon and
a half of milk. These figures are not
meant to be scientifically exact, of
course, but merely to illustrate the
principle. The result is that the farm
er gets more pounds of salabie prod
uct out of his feed when be uses pure
bred sires at the head of his herds and
fiocks. He gets more money and his
family lives better. But something
else happens. When he sells more
pounds of better class of meat or
more gallons of rich milk he feeds the
city family better thnr ss did waen he

D. S. Medal Given to Only
One Woman in Awards Made
to United States Soldiers

Only 500 Distinguished Service med
ais were awarded to American soldiers
and of these just one was presented
to a woman.
Miss Mary Vail Address, an Amer
lean Red Cross cunteen worker in
France, was the woman chosen for the
distinguished honor.
The medal was presented to Miss
Address by General Pershing in the
name of the president Of the United
States.
Miss Address, a New York woman,
was one of the first seven American
girls to go overseas. She went to the
foul sector as the American troops
entered it, and on her own initiative
set0p canteen tent in the station
yard and gave small comforts to the
soldiers arriving or on leave. Within
a month she assisted 5000 dOughboys
day, and it is estimated that during
her entire service her canteen well
coined more than 100000 soldiers.
After the tents success she opened
rest house for officers and men, and
finally was put in charge of an entire
hotel. Under her direction were in
stalled shower baths where thousands
of men enjoyed their first chance for
a bath after weeks in the trenches.
Miss Address is planning to continue
her social and public service in some
other form.

kept scrub stock. The final result Of
pure-bred sires is that the farmer
makes more money and the city family
gets more and better food, probably at
lower prices.
Inc crusade, the experts say, eventu-
ally will tend to result in reducing the
cost OF living to the consumer without
taking the difference out of the pocket
OF the producer. For that reason, they
point out, the city man has definite
money interest in the better sires cru
sade, While he can hardly be expect
ed to put the same amount of effort
into 1T that the live stock breeder
should, he is expected to give encour-
agement and aid to the program when
ever the opportunity offers. And there
Will be no lack Of opportunity, partic-
ularly In the smaller cities and towns
where the farmers are In dose con-
tact with the city business men.

Substitute for Platinum
Is Invented by Illinois
Professor of Chemistry

lllium is the name of the new metal
alloy, substitute for platinum. that
has been discovered by Prof. S. w.
Parr of the department of chemistry
at the University of Illinois.
According to Professor Parr the i'm
portance of this new metal lies in the
fact that 1t can be substituted for pIati-
mum or gold in acid tests. Its price is
another factor. Illium costs approx
mately 25 cents an ounce.
Other alloys have been found too
.yrittle. They can be cast, but not
riSachined like illium. Every rod Of
illiu7R which is made has button cut
from the end. which is given 24-hour
acid test. These buttons are weighed
before and after the test and as yet
the difference in weight has not been
appreciable.
The first mixture Of this alloy was
made in April. 1917.

Uncle Sam Is Economical;
Orders Stamps Imprinted
With Inscription "2, Cents

Uncle Sam is again practjcing
economy in connection with his postal
stationery, and his thrift means more
new varieties for collectors" writes
Kent B. Stiles in Boys Life.
when the wartime rate of 8 cents
for an ordinary letter was reduced to
cents on July l, there were in post
ofIlces throughout the country excess
stocks of the Scent envelopes. The
postmaster general has sent notice to
all postal sub-agencies authorizing the
imprinting of the inscription - cents
in red on each envelope just below the
circular die. Inasmuch as this i'm
printing is not being done at the bu-
reau of engraving and printing at
Washington, but at sub-agencies indie
pendently. there is prospect of many
varieties of type becoming available
to collectors, and it is not unlikely
that such errors as inverts, broken and
missing and misplaced letters, ETC., will
appear.
1.-THE cost of an ordinary post card
was lowered to the normal l cent,
and the sub-agencies have been author
lied to surcharge 4 c. across the cir
cular die on each card, although this
is of less interest, as philate-
lists do not collect postal cards.
"Of course, the imprinted envelopes
and overprinted cards sell to the pub
lie at the new prices, 2 and cents, re-
spectively."
