MINING OWN EGG MASH MEANS
TWO MORE MEN FOR PLANT

Decision to mix their own egg
mash in Lynden has brought about
the addition of two more men to this
staff of the Lynden station Of the
Washington Co-operatives Egg and
Poultry Association.
The mash Is mixed according to
what is considered the best egg-pro-
duction formula, and members have
been invited to watch the process to
convince themselves that only the
best of materials is going into the
product.

POST WINS ON GOLDEN CALF
Two-Headed Animal Aids In Raising
Organizations Funds From
500 to $500.

The Golden Calf of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va, which owes an increase In
Its working capital from 500 to $500
to a twO-headed juvenile COW, in full
title to which the post invested its
scant 500 last fall.
Having induced a WestmOreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum, a special levy of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair In Richmond and the calf
was In full bloom, eating both his
heads Off and waxing fat withal.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled, the post treasury con-
tanned 81. 500-the accrued earnings Of

Kaufman is a government music stu
dent.
The secret of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has baffled voice eX-
perts as well as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
produce overtones which gave the
sound of more than one part. He en-
tered the MacPhail school at Mime
apolis as a government student and
as his voice strengthened and became
clearer, he developed the curious trio.
The only case remotely similar TO
that Of Kaufman, according to his in
structor in the government school, Is
that of a woman singer In whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone, Over which she had practi-
cally no control. The former soldier
in some way has separated and con-
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts
simultaneously.

horse barn Is a 16-fOOt silO connected
with both wings of the barn by a car
rier system.
The other part of the wing contain
ing the horse stalls is divided into feed
rooms where the iced is stored and
prepared for all of the animals. This
feed is loaded on to the feed carrier,
which runs on a carrier track in the
ENTER aisle and carries without any
trouble to the far corner of the barn.
There is room for ~ COWS In the
other section of the building. These
stalls are arranged in two rows fac
ing each other, with litter alleys in
the rear of each row. AS in the case
of the main aisle in the center, these
litter alleys are also equipped with car
rier tracks and litter carriers which
carry the anu and litter directly
from the stalls to the manure pit. All
stalls are divided by steel partitions
and fitted with sanitary stanchiOns and
pOrtant and should not be overlooked
by the farmer. A steady water sup
ply, such as is furnished by individual
drinking cups helps to increase the
milk supply and also eliminates the
work of driving the cows to a trough.
All along the stall floor are high
double hung windows insuring plenty
of daylight to make the stalls as cheer
full as possible. Fresh air inlets in
the COW barn, as In the horse section,
provide plenty of fresh air at all
times. Foul air shafts draw off the
poisonous gases which are liable to
settle near the floor. At one end of
the COW barn are two pens for COW
and bulls. Although giving an impress
sion Of bigness this building is not I'M
usually large, its dimensions being 81
by 80 feet.

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over
"Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

'The Germanophile attempt to
arouse American indignation over the
horror OF the Rhine and thereby to
lead to a split, spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed Of it's purpose
in precisely the same way that Ger
mai propaganda in this country failed
in every N Of the years between
1914 and 1915" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
'The truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to go about
it. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge of the fine art of get
ting something over, a fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up On a
hardwood floor. 1t is fiattering the
Won Mach type of boring from within
to call its insidious. Insidious it is,
however, In Its intent If not In its APP
plicatiOn.
DIR. Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant Of his country, wheth-
ar he regards his country as America
or Germany. He is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point of view Of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect a
hyphen that was theoretically buried
Just three years ago. He Is a poor
German because his clumsiness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger
many"

LEGION ROLLERS UNDER THEM
Ex-Service Men Promptly Halt Elk
p~loitations Of Pro-German
TroubIemakers.

In response to the warning issued
by their national commander, +. w.
Galbraith. Jr., American Legion men,
bers in many parts of the country
have been active in fighting against
efforts of pro-Germans and other
h%yphenated persons to drive a wedge
between America and her allies in the
World war.
Twenty-Five thousand patriotic citi-
zens of New York attended the "All
American Meeting for God and Coun-
try" which was held in Madison
Square Garden under the auspices of
the Legion. as a protest against a pre-
viOus pro-German meeting, said to be
for the purpose of creating sentiment
against the alleged Horrors on the
Rhine"
When word was received Gin Phila-
delphia that DIR. Edmund o Mach,
notorious German propagandist, was
planning to hold a meeting in that
city, Legion members and other pa
triotic citizens opposed the PROPOSE
ton and succeeded in blocking the
scheme.
Similar action was taken by the
Legion and various societies In Indian
apolis. Among the organizations CO.
operating with thu. Legion was the ma
tional executives committee of the
American Gymnastic union, composed
of a large membership of citizens Of
German extraction. which insisted
upon unhyphenated citizenship and
scored Won Mach and George Sylves-
ter Viereck. On the same day the In
dianapolis board Of public works an
nounced 1t would not permit the use
of its large convention hall for the
proposed Won Mach meeting.
Learning that Louisville was on the
proposed itinerary of Doctor Won
Mach, the Kentucky department OF
the Legion instructed posts TO use
every lawful means practicable TO
stop the threatened invasion Of Boche
propagandists." The Kentucky Legion's
bulletin also warned against the ac-
~tivities of Niereck.
Legion posts have also opposed the
~hyphenates in Chicago, Cleveland,
Omaha, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

On many farms the dairy herd is not
large enough to demand a separate
barn; in that case a general purpose
barn is used. In fact Oh most small
farms this is the most convenient and
efficient type of building. 1t serves to
house not only the dairy herd but the
horses as well. In building this barn,
however, it is important to install the
right kind of equipment and use the
best materials. Extra expense at the
start will save money In the long run.
