All ex-service men are invited to
meet at the Armory at LAS Satur-
day afternoon to march with the
ex-service mems section OF the pa
rade. Men are not being urged to
wear uniforms because it is felt
that larger number OF men will
be out if uniforms are not required.
1t is being called to the attention
of all that this section of the pa
rade is for all ex-service men and
not only for legion members. How
ever, II men in uniform are wanted
to lead the horses drawing the G.
A. r. float and men wishing to vol
unteer for this service are asked to
call Rock Island 759. The ex-ser-
vice mems part Of the parade should
be a, big one and for that reason it
is hoped that former ex-service men
will plan to march with this sec
ton.

ing Chief Schmidt declared today.
The city has thousands Of dol
lars invested in fire apparatus and
the cheapest truck We have means
the rolling OF q $1,000 equipment.
The new aerial ladder truck cost
$12,500 and when it and all the rest
Of the trucks are called out lot OF
expensive equipment is at stake.
There is always danger OF accidents
TO equipment and to persons when
ever the trucks go on a run, and
the taxpayers can't afford to have
them running when there is no ne
cessity. Nor is this the only thing
to be considered A serious danger
would be brought about If big
fire should occur while the trucks
are out on wild goose chase OF
account Of someone sending ir
q false alarm. The city offers &
$50 reward to the person who car

rest of any man. woman or chile

this manner is not so good as that
made from green corn. Cattle like 1t
and do well on it. 1t is reported that
last year farmers filled their silos as
many as three times with dry fod-

Winter dairying has been found by
most farmers to have decided adj
vantages. according to C. L. Black
man, agent in dairying. United States
Department of Agriculture. When
the COWS freshen from September to
February the bulk of the milk is pro-
duced before the heavy springs work
begins. Winter dairying furnishes
employment during the winter
months, when more reliable help can
be secured than during the rush sea-
son. More time is available and bet
ter care can be given the cows dur
ing the winter. Cows freshening in
the fall remain on uniform feed dur
ing their lactation period and are not
subject to the flies and extreme heat
of summer Prices in winter are all
ways considerable better than in the
summer. At present many farmers
are receiving 25 cents per pound
more for butterfat than during July.
In one city that paid 1925 per hun
dred weight for milk in July the
price is now $3.75 per hnndredweight

BUTCHER KNIVES
MADE FOR MOTHER

Butcher knives for mother were
made by practically every member
OF the class in freshman engineer
ing at the University Of Iowa this
year, and when the sons returned
home for the holidays the knives
went along to be given at Christ
mas time as sample of work the
men are learning to do in the col
lege of applied science.
To make the knives the students
used broken hack saw blades which
were ground down and sharpened,
some being converted into butcher
knives and few into carving
knives. All the butcher knives
were forged by hand and an alum
mum handle was moulded around
the blade, making an all-metal
knife.
