BIackstrap MoIasses
Saves Big Feed Bills

Splendid results have been obtained
from the use Of the low-grade by
products Of sugar cane known as
blackstrap, and there has been to-
tai absence Of anything ike harm
full consequences. It's extensive use
on sugar plantations Of this state has
not only proved an immense saving
in feed bills, but has lessened fatal
tiles in the work hules; improved
their general physical condition; and
increased their usefulness. Blackstrap
IS valuable food for three good rea-
sons First, So far as this state is
concerned, it is the cheapest present
source Of the carbohydrate element,
namely, sugars second, because Of its
high carbohydrate content, about Sc
per cent; and, third, the almost com
plete digestibility Of this nutrient.
Two of the most important essen
tiaIs Of a feeding stuff are that it be
palatable and iigestible To try to
enlarge upon the first Of these essen
tials is unnecessary, as blackstrap Is
often used to make more palatable
other feeding materials that are less
so and because. the carbohydrate
content Of the blackstrap, which is
approximately. Sc per cent, IS practi-
cally wholly digestible, or about leo
per cent.
From statistics gathered some time
ago from forty-seven plantation own
ers OF the state It was learned that
with the feeding Of blaekstrap there
was saving in the cost Of feed bills
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-02-21

ranging from ten per cent to fifty per
cent, or more; also that there was
marked diminuition ii the number Of
cases of dietetic trouble such As collie;
and that the health, and therefore the
capacity Of the animals for work, was
very much improved.
Not only have the sugar planters
beer using blackstrap with excellent
economic results, but the majority Of
commercial stock feeds, today, have
molasses as one Of the ingredients;
the Southern-made feeds using cane
molasses; while some Of those pre-
pared ii Northern and Western sec-
tons have a certain PROPORTION q
cane molasses added to the best W.
riety. A very essential thing is to ed
ucate consumers that all kinds Of
feeding molasses are not the same,
and that there is quite difference
between the low-grade product Of Ehe
sugar cane and that Of the beet.
That mere blackstrap IS not used
over a much wider area Of this eoan-
try is because consumers are wholly
ignorant Of its absolute safety and
true feeding value. TO dispel the
general ignorance regarding the true
value Of blackstrap win require 4
campaign Of more thorough and wide
spread education and advertising BY
our producers and dealers n this val-
liable animal food product ". =.

Washington. May 17.-Organized

thousands of persons today throng
ed the streets of Topeka called into the
business houses along Kansas avenue
thru the lure of Dollar Day The in
nate priciple of economy being prac-
uced in an era of unprecede high
prices brought persons in from the
outlying districts and from other
towns from a distance equal to the
territory covered by advertisements
spreading the news of the big sales
In many months there has not been
so large a gathering on Kansas avenue
so early in the morning. Early trains
were practically filled with passen-
gers coming to Topeka to take advan-
tage of the big bargains offered on
Dollar Day. The roads. in all direc-
tions, lea ding into Topeka, contained
their quotas of motorists bound on
the same errand, to gain an advantage
in the buying power of the dollar
The street cars in Topeka were filled
all morning carrying passengers to
the shopping district.
Bundle Carrying Day.
The epidemic of bundle carrying on
Kansas avenue has not been eoualed
since the discharge of hundreds of
Topeka soldiers at Camp Funston one
year ago. Today practically nine per-
sons out of ten were carrying bundles
of varying sizes.
1t is decidedly evident that pur-
chases under the Dollar Day sales ar
rangement are regarded as being well
worth the investment and also. from
an economical standpoint. a chance to
save money. Whether it is with the
idea of replenishment of necessities,
the stock of which has been allowed
to run low waiting lower prices. or if
it is with the idea of forestalling the
later at advancing prices, is a matter
of conjecture.
All stores on Kansas avenue were
crowded this morning. The custom
ers were not buying luxuries, either
The staple articles of every day util-
ity made the big appeal.
The drawing power of the Dollar
Day savings is pregnant criterion of
the voice of the consuming public that
has insistently clamored for a reduc-
ton in the cost of absolute essential
articles. food and clothes. It carries
the note of protest against the high
prices that have been in a measure
relieved by the Dollar Day bargains,
and the temporarily increased pur-
chasing power of the dollar.
'Best in Years''-Auerbach.
This is one of the greatest sales
said H. A. Auerbach, of the Palace
Clothing company this morning. "A
sale of this sort is something real.
Few customers realize that many ar
ticles purchasable today for one dol
lar cannot be replaced by the mer-
chant for two dollars. The buying
public is being given a tremendous
value for the purchasing power of his
money. They are perfectly legitimate
sales with no attempt at anything fan
tastic. Bigger crowds of persons are
attending the sales in Topeka today
than have attended any other Dollar
Day ever held here"

this morning. according to Z. H.
Crosby, of Crosby Brothers 1.-The
store was crowded early this morning
soon after the doors opened with
many out of town customers. They
have come IN to Topeka from rather
distant places also. 1t looks as if it
were going to be the biggest Dollar
Day sale ever held here. We cannot
be sure until the day is over and ac-
counts are checked up and compared
with the records of other years.
Buying the Essentials.
That customers are buying staple

out by F. C. Gibbs, of the Gibbs Cloth
best Dollar Day sale ever held in To-
peka. Even at noon today it had ex-
ceeded previous sales in size. 1t has
gone away above our expectations.

Supreme Court Acts in Amrine's Row
Over School Board.
The supreme court this afternoon

until the November term of court to
produce dispositions showing he is en-
titled to a place on the local school
board. Application for a writ of
mandamus to compel the Council
Grove board of education to recognize
Amrine as member was denied sew
eral weeks ago.
Amrine has been fighting for a job
on the school board since he quit his
job TO go to France during the war.
His war job ended. he sought restora-
ton to the office from which he had
indicated intention of resigning. He
has thus far been unsuccessful. The
court today, however, gave him until
November in which to take deposit
lions on the merits of the case and
make showing as to the rights
which he has claimed.

INVENTORY CITY PROPERTY
City Auditor knowlton to Ask for To-
peka's Holding Figures.

recommendation of c. C. Knowl-
ton, new city auditor. to be presented
to the city commission Tuesday, that
an inventory of city property be made
annually. brings to mind the changes
in city property during the ten-year
period since the. last inventory was
made in 1910.
In the 1910 inventory the following
are some of the items listed. Fire
epartment-2- horse hose wagon; =
horse chemical wagon. horses and har-
ness; two tower bells weighing $50
and 1854 pounds and costing $14S
and 1917. respectively; heavy 6-gallon
extinguisher on truck; chiefs buggy
and one old buggy. City offices-one
roll desk. $40; one swivel chair, "a;
one fish bowl; three high back chairs,
s225; one fancy back chair, 81; one
rocker, $3.50. Police court-stove and
pipe complete. Jailer's office-smal1
mirror and old couch.
The entire equipment of the city
clerks office then cost only $35S.15.
writer's and adding machines in the
list. Only few offices had typewrit-
ers and but one or two were equipped
with adding machines. City officials
did their thinking and writing in those
days.
The item chiefs buggy" under the
fire department recalls a popularity of
c. O. Wilmarth, then fire chief. Altho
the city bought him an autom obile
during his administration, he did not
like it and much preferred riding in
the buggy behind his fine, black horse.
The item tower bells" will hold
memories for persons who lived in To-
peka at that time and heard the big
bells boom out at the different fire
stations.
The total valua ton of city property
in 1910 was $1.565.7s2.9S, the iuyen-
tory shows If the commissioners
adopt Knowltonss suggestion and
make an inventory this year. it is ex-
pected the amount will go much
higher. The listing of city park prop
erty is an example. In 1910, park
property was inventoried at 1852, 636.
Today it is approximately 1852, 900,
according to Knowlton, who added
that one small park was omitted from
the inventory.
