try speeialistsfin the, United States
department of agriculture point out
the desirability of giving wheat 'an
important place in poultry. rations.
The influence of wsrgtime -seonsereS
vation of wheat is still evident, ac-
cording to specialists of the depart
ment, but there are no longer any
economic reasons for conserving
wheat or using it solely as human
food. On the other hand, it is so
plentiful and cheap in many local
tiles that it is more economical
livestock and poultry feed than corn.
Corn and wheat are the two best
grains for poultry and are about
equal in value for this purpose, al
though wheat can be fed alone bet
ter than corn, which is inclined to
be fattening. Best results are OBJ
tanned when wheat and corn are
combined about equally in egglay-
ing rations.
Following is a good scrtach mix
ture: l pound cracked corn, l pound
wheat, l pound oats.
While wheat is an excellent feed
for dairy cows and meat animals,
it needs to be ground for best re-
suits with such stock, whereas poul-
try relish it and utilize it as whole
grain.
The department points out also
that wheat at 80 cents per bushel,
which was the Approximate current
price recently i'll seven Middle West
ern states, is $29.66 per ton, which
is lower price than prevails for
various other feeds having no great
er nutritive value.

New Sports Jacquettes
Sports jacguettes have had such
run this season that the ordinary
types are no longer desirable. How:
ever, the jacquette is not to be
cast aside for fall wear. Little jac-
quetets of suede, made of mannish
lines, are among the newest of fall S
sportwear. Most of these use wood
shades and are unbelted, with either
double-breasted or single breasted
fronts.
Again We see the sports jacquette
IN the heavy homespuns worked in
wool cross-stitching. These, OF
course, are more colorful than the
suede effects, since they are usually
embroidered in three or more colors
on pockets, cuffs and collars.
Straight, unbelted lines are prefer.
able to the tie-at theside models, as
fall predicts tailored effects. Small
head-shaped hats of homespun work
ed in colors to correspond with the
,jacquette are smart.
Fall sports shoes made of croco.
die feathers and lizard skins are to
be seen before long. They are es-
peeially desirable for golf and coun-
try wear.

Pageant Will T.
Be Big Feature

The Merchants Association of
Coronado is fast completing plans
forHthe mapmotbI .Tpsseaht the
''Fete of the Sun, - which is to be
presented September 10 on the
Coronado Polo grounds. On this
day the total eclipse of the sun
will take place and Coronado will
be in darkness for more than three
minutes.
The idea of using this grand phe-
nOmen of nature as the chief point
of the production has caught the
imagination of the public. 1t is
situation that can never be re-
acted in the life of any man. The
next total eclipse visible in this part
of the world will not ocur until
over a century has passed and if the
opportunity of witnessing this un-
usual celebration is not embraced
no man on this earth will ever
have another chance.
Garnet Holme, well known play
writer and producer, will have en-
tire charge of the presentation which
will start at noon.
The story of the play is lain in
olden times and deals with the rev,
erence in which the sun was held
by the people who regarded it as
the father of light and the giver OF
all good things.
The constructional work is NOV
ing rapidly and should be ready
about September 9Th. Mr.. Best,
who is in charge has erected on
the Coronado Polo grounds a great
stage in the similitude of an ancient
altar, devoted to the worship of the
sun. Two great pillars with ancient
altar hieroglyphics flank the great
place of sacrifice, which itself is
raised many feet above the ground.
