Students Lunch Room
Will Open Nov. "a

On our recent visit to Salt Lake
we visited the West Side High
School. 1t was noon and we noticed
hundreds of students going over to
a little grocery store. Surrey they
were not buying crackers an d
cheese. So we went in to see, and
found a sweet motherly woman SELL
ing, over the counter, delicious food,
home cooked, and at prices the chill
drcn could afford to pay. There was
no equipment for serving-they
bought their food and ate il ont on
the lawns or standing in groups. So
Mr.. Price said to some of the boys,
"How is il you ali come over hcro?''
Gee whiz. Look at what we get
just like home, no bakery stuff
So here we are, boys and girls,
three doors east of the High School,
and we will be glad to welcome you
in our Students lunch room Mon
day, Nov. "a.

FATTENING PIGS IN
THE DRY LOT
BY Raymond Burch
Animal Husbandry Glass

,
One of the easiest classes of live
stock on the farm to feed success
fully is the we'll known pig which i.
fattened for market The problem
of accomplishing this most economi
cally is rendered complex only b.
the great variety of feeds available
and the variation which occurs from
year to year in the price Of these
feeds.
The most profitable ration to feed
in any year should be determined or
dinariiy by the supply and price of
home grown grains, and the availa-
bility and costs of the different nj
trogeneous or protein supplements
on the market.
Corn or some other home grown
grain should be used as basis of
the fattening ration. Dairy by-pro-
ducts meet the favor of many hog
men more than any other form OF
protein supplement. The value of
sim-milk and buttermilk is such as
to make pork production valuable
adjunct to dairying when either of
these products are available for
swine feeding.
In two experiments form South
Dakota and Ohio show thta pigs fed
corn plus skim-milk or buttermilk
gained 1851 per cent faster than
hose fed milk, but they were also
cheaper.
Tankage, which is made from all
,arts of meat that cannot be put or
he market, is a very good supple
nent to corn or other home grown
rains.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1924-11-21
George Laurance, Sporting Editor

Barley is probably the best, or
most common used feed in Canada
and northwest United States. 1t has
a higher percentage Of protein than
corn and can be fed alone to a great
er gani.
Oats and wheat also have a great
er percentage of portein than corn,
and can be fed successfully to grow
ing pigs with supplement of skim
milk tankage or buttermilk.
All these feeds depend on the
of home production and
price. A farmer cannot afford to
feed two and quarter wheat when
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1924-11-21

there are other grains, such as corn,
oats and barley, when supplemented
that bring greater results at lower
cost.
Twenty-Five new home projects
have been begun by the agriculture
students in animal husbandry, farm
crops and farm shop. These pro-
jects vary greatly in kind but are all
begun and carried on for the better
ment of agriculture in the communi-
ty. A project is not considered a
success unless it is profitable, and
beneficial from the standpoint of the
stdent learning better methods.

The second quarter Oakley again
scored when Martin, accompanied by
good interference made a wide end

point. The score now was 13 to

The next half Jerome opened up
with an aerial attack and completed
several long passes and threatened

when he caught punt and fumbled
it. A Jerome man scooped up the
ball on the 25 yard line and started
for a touchdown but Martin over
hauled him in second and tackled
so savagely that the Jerome man
lost the ball and Critchfield, who is
always where he is needed. grabbed
the ball and took 1t down the field

FLIRTING WITH LOVE-
ON NETS SCREEN

Music is accredited with power
to soothe the savage breast, but
love is surer when it comes to
producing the same effect. Also,
it is dangerous to approach it
with savage intent. for love
ALWAYS wins. If you don't be-
lieve it, you had better see ''Flirt-

WINGED.
Colleen Moore and Conway
Tearle have the stellar roles in
this absorbing comedy-drama,
adapted from LIE Roy SCOTS
novel, Counterfeit, which Is
based on psychological studies of
amnesia and dual personality.
Conway Tearle is cast as a seri-
ous-minded scientist who knows
little of women and cares less
until his psychological study Of
one makes him an easy victim to
her charms-a type of character
ization in which Mr.. Tearle excels
and is almost always cast.

screen, and proves her versatility

''EMPTY HANDS"
FULL OF
KICK

The human of either persuasion
who views the back-to.nature Sc.
quence of. Empty Hands" Tivoli's
Paramount offering this week,
without getting considerable kick
is either ten years before adde's
cence or hopelessly senile. And
since, incidentally, this same Sc
Quence forms a good 20 per cent
of the entire production, prospec-
tive customers of the Park road
playhouse this week are pretty
certain to get their moneys worth.
Empty Hands" is marked with
unusually intelligent directing
practically throughout. No big
names appear in shining lights TO
carry the production over the top
the old standby. Jack Holt,
sharing honors with the up-and.
coming Norma Shearer in all the
heavy work-and as a result, it
can be said that the story and
handling alone ring up a bullseye
for this really worthwhile effort.
The opening reel is slow and
marked by none of the brilliant
direction that appears in later
scenes. The manner in which a
wild society bal masque, which
eventually deterior&tes into
swimming pool orgy, is presented
is dull and stereotyped. It is
after the locale shifts to the wild
ernesses of northern British Co.
lumbia that things begin to perk
up, and master directorial hand
makes its bow The interest
mounts higher and higher until
its final elimination with the
rescue of the hero and heroine
from a situation that has gradu-
ally become more and more
fraught with suspense Of very
human kind. A sort of epilogue
is a bit anticlimatic, since every
body knows how things are going
to turn out, anyhow; but the ef-
feet isn't spoiled on the whole,
and. one energies feeling exhila-
rated for having seen a film with
direct emotional appeal.
Jack Holt gives a sterling per.
Torrance, playing individually into
a part that might very readily
have fallen into a standardized
groove. Norma Shearer, not so
good in the society sequences, is
one Of the most bewitching and
desirable little things you'd want
to meet in a month of Sundays
in the wilderness scenes. The rest
of the cast is adequate.
Elias Breeskin yields the baton
over the orchestra this week. He
directs them through selections
from Faust. There is a news reel
with some International News
shots of the Prince of Wales in
the democratic manner, and
very, very beautiful musical inter-
lude, wherein Alden Finckel, local
cellist, and Lillian Crosman, So
prano, render a single number,
sans encore and sans even time
for an appreciative bow. Comedy
is supplied by Walter Hers in

in which she fools not only her

BOOK CAST FOR
'"SINNERS IN SILK"

In choosing good movie for
the week, one has only to glance
over the respective casts. Sinners
in Silk" at Loew's Palace, will
hold your attention. Adolphe
Menjou, Eleanor Boardman, Con-
rad Nagel, Jean Hersholt, Hedda
Hopper, Miss Dupont and Ann
Luther are few of the favorites
who will puzzle you in your
selection.
The savoir faire of Adolphe
Menjou's villain interpretation is
still there, but now and then he
slips away from the villain role,
thereby disclosing a secret ambi-
ton, which rumor has it he is to
soon see realized. Eleanor Board

unfolds new possibilities. Miss

Rudolph Valentino in mon

The role Of the Duke de Char

extraordinary. is particularly
congenial one to Valentino.
The production is an extrava-
gantly mounted historical ro-
nance. A good cast is seen in
support of the star. Bebe Dan
iels, Lois Wilson, Lowell Sher-
man, Doris Kenyon, are fea-
tured, and others too numerous
to mention appear in the picture.
Owing to the unusual length
of the production, the usual added
features of the Columbia pro-

the Columbia symphony orches-

arranged an attractive musical
score.
