SAVE YOUR STAMPS.

If you are tempted to dispose of those War Savings
Stamps which you bought back 1918 it might be

director Of savings.
advice is hold the profit

When the stamps were issued. you paid s412 for
a stamp which will be worth s. on the first day of
next year.
That was the offer which your government made
for the your money in an endeavor TO promote
habits Of thrift.
The government will redeem those stamps today

Many people are being unduly attracted by these
offers which destroys to large degree what the
government hoped to accomplish.
These stamps not intended for profit Of
financial pawn brokers but were designed to offer a
safe and attractive investment to those who might
be taught to save.
1T would appear that the person who is trying

Now, those issued in 1918 are approaching the

ESTIMATE FEED COST
 OF EGG PRODUCTION
Records Show About What Amounts Are Used by Fowls.
Value of Generai-Purpose Breeds for Market, or for Matching and Breeding Makes Them
 Most Desirable Birds.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agrfculturs)
 Careful poultrymen like to Know what it costs them to produce dozen eggs, but it is not possible for anyone tion obtained through experimental feeding to start with, they must figure it out for themselves. Since the feed constitutes the principal cost, it is possible to get some idea of the real cost if the amount of grain used in making a dozen eggs is known. The United States Department of Agricul. ture has kept records that show about what amounts are used by general purpose fowls and Leghorns, and by using the local price for grain in con- nection with these figures the feed cost of a dozen eggs can be obtained with fair accuracy.
 The grain consumed to produce q dozen eggs will vary a great deal. de- pending upon the skill of the poultry man, but 1t Is assumed that he knows how to feed economically. The gen. eral-purpose fowls and Leghorns used in this feeding work were kept on the test while bullets and yearlings. As bullets the general-purpose fowls pro- duced 1905 eggs a year and 8S.1 as yearlings The Leghorns produced an average of 1887 eggs as bullets and 124.9 as yearlings.
 The general-purpose bullets ate in year an average of 6.7 pounds of feed per dozen eggs produced and the year. lings ate 96 pounds. The Leghorn bullets ate AS pounds and the year. lings 5.5 pounds. The general-purpose bullets ate 19 pounds more feed in producing a dozen eggs than the Leg horn bullets, and the difference in- creases very rapidly with the age of the stock, the general purpose year lings consuming Al pounds more feed per dozen eggs than the Leghorn year. lings therefore the Leghorn yearlings produced eggs upon much less. feed than the generalpurpose breeds.
 The value of the general-purpose breeds for market, or for matching and breeding, makes them usually the most desirable breeds for the general farmer and the backyard poultry rais- CT, while the LeghOrns are especially adapted for the commercial egg farms, say the poultrymen of the depart ment.

Parachutes Rescue Flyer.

Wireless and aeronautic science were recently employed in very timely combination which saved the life of an air-service cadet flying from Mather field, California, over Crater National forest in Oregon, according to an article in Popular Mechanics Maga. zine. While in the nelghborhood of Crater lake, the spark plugs ceased working in the engine of his plane, and landing was necessary. Choice in landing places was confined to either the rugged mountain peaks below or small island of black lava in the middle of the lake. After some deliberation he chose the latter and made a land ing in the huge cliff-rimmed cup. The plucky pilot then set his radio outfit in operation and after many hours of waiting, rescue planes arrived carry Ing the necessary spark plugs. Ad- verse air currents within the great "moon hole" prohibited the descent of the rescuerS, and so the plugs were attached 10 paraehutes and dropped. The lost pilot placed the plugs, started his engine and made d perilous take off over the lake surface.

It seems to have been a generally accepted idea. and was published in all the papers containing story of the killing of Abe Graham by Andrew Stockton, that they were cousins.
