Inaueurated With Success.

When the battalion of 20. r. D."
boys left Camp Meade last week for
overseas they got a royal send-off
from the welfare bodies in camp.
A special effort was made to give
the boys the kind of hurrah and God

Jewish Welfare Board combined with
the Liberty Theater in having the en-

There were musical numbers and
songs that had the right punch and
then there were stunts and other
things by the boys themselves and
by entertainers that made everybody
feel that he had had good time.
Brig. Gen. M. B. Stewart made the
kind of talk that put the boys at ease
in regard to the kind Of duty that was

CATTLE FEEDERS DAY MAY Is
Results OF Years Experiments to Be
Discussed by ii. o. Allison.

Missouri Cattle Feeders Day is to
be held at Columbia, MAY 16. The
cattle feeding test, conducted by the
Agricultural Experiment Station last
winter, will close and the results will
be available. Expert market men as
well as the experiment station staff
will take part in the program.
Prof. II. o. Allison will discuss the
results of this years experiment
Corn silage has been used extensively
in the tests at this and other sta
tions during the last four years in
rations for fattening cattle. The re-
suits of these other experiments will
be also reviewed at this meeting.
The present test includes five lots
of two-year-old steers which have
been fed for 120 days. During the
first SO days they were fed on vary
ing quantities of corn in addition to
corn silage, clover hay and linseed
oil cake. The use of corn silage
was then discontinued and all of the
lots were put on a full feed of
shelled corn, linseed oil cake and
clover hay as rapidly as possible.
The results, showing the possibility
of fattening cattle on limited grain
rations by the use of silage without
the addition of corn as well as the
changing of fattening cattle from a
heavy feed of silage to dry feed,
should be of special interest to
stockmen

CITY Commission
BIDS OPENED FOR WATER AND
SEWERAGE BONDS.

The city commission met in regu-
lar session at the council chamber
last night, with all members present.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, after which
there was taken up the resolution for
paving Egan avenue S from the rail-
road tracks and Washington avenue.
This resolution was read and by mo-
ton was duly carried. A meeting for
considering objections of AUDITING
property owners where paving is pro-
posed was set for Monday, April IA.
The next business before the COM
missioners was the opening and re-
ceiving of bids for the $4,000 bonds
authorized for extending the water
system and also the storm and sani-
tary sewers Five bids were sent and
handed in and three representatives,
Isaac l.. Cady, of the Bankers Trust
& Savings bank, of Minneapolis; G..
Williams, who is interested in the
Bankers Mortgage company, Des
Moines, Ia, also M. F. Berther, of
the Lake County National bank. were
present to modify or change their Of
ferings sufficiently to buy in the
bonds advertised. Among the bond
ing companies interested in Madi-

-- company. Wells. Dickey
and company, Bankers Mortgage
company, of Des Moines, Ia; Bank
ers' Trust & Savings bank, the Ma
tional City company and the John s.
Sinclair company. all of Minneapolis.
No attempt was made last evening
to go into the advantages of bids
made, but instead the commission de-
ferred this matter until next We'd
nesday night when each offer will be
thoroughly gone into and a decision
arrived at.
Mr.. Berther had another matter to
bring to the commissioners atten-
ton. He asked that they consider
the paving assessments on properties
owned by Mrs. Sullivan and Glat2
Bros. on Egan avenue N. 1t appear
ed that the assessments were inequi-
tably spread and the parties in ques-
ton considered them far too high; in
fact, refused to pay them unless the
city took owe a part of the costs.
The lots affected lie to the north OF
the bridge and along the line of the
creek. This matter will be looked
into and adjusted at a later date.
There being no further business
the session adjourned.
