Great Britain wants TO Danish the

to strike back. It sneaks below the
surface Of the sea, looses its deadly

banning the submarine because it is an
efficient defensive weapon: = It does
not cost much to build and it can be
used to protect costal regions from the
sudden attack of a fleet. A weak ma
ton by building submarines may de-
fend itself from the naval aggression
of a strong power. =.
There is merit in both contentious.
But is it not possible to restrict the
size of submarines so that their Of
fensive quality may be minimized and
their defensive function preserved?
War is a deadly business. It is a
concentrated effort on each side to an
initiate the other and thus win the
victory. Submarines may be used as
assassins, no doubt, and were so used
in the late war. But there never was
war in which there was fair, stand
up fight to see which was the stronger.
Since the days when the ancient
Greeks took Troy by the trick of the
woodenhorse, strategy has not been
limited to fair fighting.
If rules were made now to abolish
submarines, forbid poison gas, and re-
store war to the romantic basis of a
fair fight, they wouldn't be observed
when war came
But it is practicable to have an
agreement to restrict the size Of war

marines. 1t is practicable to have a

ton; Urges Constructive, Un-
selfish Leadership.

Chicago, NOV. 30.-James r. How
ard, Iowa farmer, is beginning his
third term as president of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation. He was
unanimously reelected by delegates
from all over the United States, as
sembled in the annual national con-
vention of the organization in Atlanta,
Ga. o. E. Bradfute, Ohio farmer, was
reelected vice president.
One of the outstanding features of
the convention was the report of the
national legislative department, which
declared that the American Farm Blu
reau federation, backed by the state
declarations and county bureaus, had
been "chiefly instrumental in getting
passed, during the last session of con-
gress, more agricultural legislation
than has been passed by any other con-
gress since the gavel fell for the first
American congress-"
Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agri-
culture, and Senator U. S. Kenyon,
chairman of the senate agricultural
*'bloc," were among prominent speak
ers on the convention program.
Accepting his reelection as presi-
dent, Mr.. Howard pledged the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation to the
''barndoor viewpoint" as it's guide in
every policy. II have had one place
to go to study whatever problems have
come up before me in serving my fell
low farmers" he said. ~ have looked
at every problem as it might affect me
back on that farm. In other words, I
have viewed every national problem
from my own barndoor back home.
shall continue to do that. There is no
problem in this nation that does not
apply to every farmer, and there is
no essential differences in our environ
ments. The finest thing about the
American Farm Bureau federation
the inspiring thing, is that it has
brought together the different ele
ments Of our national agriculture as
no other organization ever has. Thu
east knows the west and the north thu
south, and the bond of mutual sympa
thy is helping US to put over a grea
piece of work.
'The everlasting cooperation an<
stick-together that have brought u
thus far on our way are going to TAX
us the rest of the way. I consider tina
the next few years are going to be tn
greatest years in American history
provided the leadership Of the natio7

tions as our OWNS constructive an
not destructive, and it is for the bene
fit of all the people and not a selfs1

Poultry Feeding.


In last weeks issue five fundamen-
tai rules were given for feeding poul-
try for egg production. Considering
the kinds Of feeds necessary in win
ter egg laying ration, the following
four classes can be made:
First, grains; second, green feeds;
third, animal food, and fourth, mineral
matter.
The, grains are used to furnish ener-
gy, heat, flesh and egg forming ma
terials. They are usually fed in two
forms; ground in the form of mashes,
and in the kernel in the form of
scratch feed.
The hard grain feeds, or scratch
feeds, most commonly used are:
Cracked corn, wheat, oats, barley and
speltz. The corn and wheat are most
palatable. AS whole corn satisfies the
appetite too quickly it. should be fed
in a cracked form. Oats are not as
good a Scratch feed as either wheat or
corn, as there is too much crude fiber
present in the form of hulls.
Variety in the grain ration is de-
sirable, but this may be very favorably
supplied in the mash. The use of
small grains grown on the farm are
recommended. The corn should be
cracked and sifted, the finer portions
used in the mash, and only the coarse
parts as scratch feed.
About Is per cent of the grain ra-
ton should be fed in the morning,
about rs per cent at noon and about
so per cent at night. Although this
is a general rule nevertheless the ap-
petities of the birds should govern the
amount of feed. In the morning the
birds should be given only what they
will clean up in 20 to 80 minutes and
in the evening enough to satisfy then
fully. The scratch feed in winter
should be fed in to S inches. of clear
dry litter. The rate Of feeding il

Minnesota Crop Show.

With three state crop organizations,
the State Horticultural society, Crop
Improvement association and Potato
Growers association cooperating, the
Minnesota crop show will be held in
the Hennepin county court house in
Minneapolis, December 13 to 16. This
is the first time these three organiza-
tons have joined forces in staging
a crop show. The premium list, which
includes corn, fruits, grains, potatoes
vegetables, plants and cut flowers will
total about $4,000.

that if the first time a baby is taken
visiting it is placed on married
couples bed there will be child
born to that couple.
This is a phase of a worldwide
superstition which has not only been
handed down to the civilization OF
today from our primitive forcbears,
but exists in an almost identical
form among nearly all civilized races.
1t is an excellent example of how
the primitive mind working is unre-
lated peoples, ignorant of each
others existance and far asunder in
point of location, arrives at a COM
mon conclusion. In some savage
tribes barren women are given
carved image of child or bundle
of rags done up in imitation of
baby, to fondle; and in all such tribes
there exist analogous customs for
producing fruitfulness in married
couples-with the exception, perhaps,
of the lowest type of savages, the
Australian aborigenes.
The superstition is the purest form
of primitive sympathetic magic OF
the so-called homeopathic type
like producers like. 1t is interesting
to note that the American Folklore
Society finds this superstition COM
mon today in Salem, Mass, where,
once upon a tirlA they were griev-
ously given to burning witches.

Interested in Your Work?


If your boss has made a decision
in regard to piece of work, the per-
Torrance of which in his way you
think means loss of time and other
wise undesirable, you ought to feel
free to suggest this thought to him.
Not in the spirit of fault-fi finding
or to impress him with the fact that
you are wiser than he may think, but
by way of common interest you
should feel like conferring with him
and giving him the benefit of any
knowledge you may possess.
If you have a boss who will not
take suggestion in good faith your
boss is not much of man.
The big, successful man wants and
even seeks suggestions.
He likes to have his men think;
he appreciates it when men are in
terested enough to consider their
work in the light of the best instruc-
ton they can get, with the idea of
working out improvement.
The largest firms today are solicit
ing advice from the employe.
The man who has practical hand
in producing a piece of work is in a
position to see and understand things
incidental to the work which no one
else could know.
Take sufficient interest in your
work to think about it.
