Fix Grades of Hay
of Different Kinds
Government Favored Basis
on Nutritive Values.

Since the government recommended
the establishment of grades Of hay Of
different kinds on the basis of the
nutritive values, hay is no longer just
hay in the markets of the country.
The reasons for the grading of hay
are just the same as those for the
grading of any other commodity, says
F. H. Steinmetz of the Minnesota ag-
ricultural experiment station staff, in
charge of laboratory tests to aid n
fixing hay grades.
Feed men wish to know how a ship
ment Of hay is rated in order to be
able to advertise and sell intelligently.
Buyers wish to know what they are
getting in kind, quality, and condition.
For example, alfalfa No. l is supe-
rior In feeding value and palatabihty
to alfalfa No. 2. If a purchaser
bought alfalfa No. 2 thinking 1t was
No. L, and there were no established
grades, he would have no
With grades established, however, he
would have a chance to recover-if his
purchase had been represented as No.
/ when it was really No. 2.
The same holds true as to prairie
hays, among which grades have now
been established.
The nutritive value of the hay IT.
self, though, is not the only thing.
Hay is frequently mixed with weeds
and other foreign materials. Dealers
and consumers should be able to know
within reasonable limits how much
such material any given lot contains.
Weeds are objectionable because they
are ordinarily unpalpatable and cause
mechanical waste, as animals will not
sort out the good hay from the bad
weeds. Moreover, there are some
weeds which cause losses among live
stock.
Hay grades are, therefore, highly
desirable. says Mr.. .Steinmetz. and their
use is to be encouraged In every way
possible.

color fades more quickly from the
beak than from the legs. The lower
part of the beak bleaches more rapidly
than the upper, and may be used as

Michigan Gives Nation
It's Best Road Builders

Michigan university, in establishing
q chair of highway engineering and
transport, is among the first of the
colleges of the country to approach
this important subject from the prac-
ticable standpoint.
It supplies a full staff of instructors,
library and practical apparatus, to
which 10000 feet Of floor space is de-
voted.
To receive the masters degree, can
didates must hold a b~accalaureate or
engineering degree from an approved
college, although provision is made for
the reception of nontechnical students
of practical experience or training,
who, however, are not eligible for a
degree.
The fact that 900 technical men are
required yearly for the government
service alone, with the thousands OF
engineers needed to build and care
for the 100000 miles of surfaced
highways of the United States, and
the additional thousands of miles of
city streets, make this move on the
part of the university a timely one.
Equipment of the course includes all
modern machinery for the preparation
of materials, testing apparatus, labora-
tories for the analysis of s%urfacing and
road building constituents, abrasion
and impact machines for proving the
finished work. and all necessary ap-
planes for modern road construction.
Eight months is the required term for
graduation.

BUY SATISFACTION
WITH HARD v

When the street running past your
house or In front of your place OF
business is to be paved you are In
terested In seeing that the material
chosen has the advantage of provid-
ing for economy and satisfaction.
Your money will pay the initial cost
and you will have to bear your share
Of the maintenance and repair bills.
Time and traffic will test the quality
of the materials used and If they are
chosen wisely. with a view to economy
both in first cost and in the mainte-
nance, you will find good cause for
congratulation.
BY experience over a term of years
1t has been found that hard-surfaced
pavements meet all requirements. A
street thus improved is sure to give
satisfaction. Now first cost alone is
nj good argument the cheapest sur
face may prove the most expensive in
the end. Reasonable first cost with
proved durability under traffic and
changing weather conditions. and with
low maintenance charges as the years
go by are the qualities that should
make up your first standard by which
to judge. Other advantages seldom
a outweigh this group that deter
mines directly the cost of the street
to the taxpayer, at the start and for
years to come.
Having paid for a paved street you
want to enjoy the Improvement with
u being called upon for taxes every
year in order that it may be repaired
or rebuilt. The original cost should
be the last except for such incidental
attention as may be needed. In case
Of necessity 1t should be possible to
cut through the street surface to
reach the underground pipes and later
condition. With a pavement properly
built the cost of maintenance is insig-
nificant. While theSe are many In
stances where streets of this type
have received no attention for several
years, once a year the paving should
be inspected and the joints filled with
bituminous material If need be. No
patching is required. for, once built,
hard pavement retains its shape
through all seasons and carries loads
over bad spots in the supporting earth

to get at pipes or conduits buried be-
meath the pavement, 1t a be cut
through and repairs readily made so
that the pavement is truly monolithic

tected only with difficulty, This work

DarroW's Mistake

7 might possibly have served one purpose
l had the eminent scientists who travelled
to Dayton to testify been allowed to give their
evidence to the jury. 1t would, perhaps, have
proved enlightening to the twelve jurymen to
learn that these scientists who consider them
selves sincere Christians do at the same time
accept the theory of evolution. On the other
hand it is unlikely that it would have changed
the jury's conviction, any more than it would
have changed the Judges Colonel Bryan, who
admitted on the stand that he did not take
every statement in the Bible literally, though
he did take the story of Adam and Eve so, GER
tainly was not shaken by the scientists whose

But, aside from the possible personal
benefit the jury might have obtained, there is
room to doubt the wisdom of Attorney Oar
row and the others in bringing the scientists
forward. Those attorneys certainly did not go
to Tennessee for the purpose of proving the
evolution theory, or for the purpose of recon
CLING that. theory with the Bible story of crea-
ton. They gave their services without pay
because they believed that free education in
America is menaced by the Tennessee statute {:
because they believe that religion and the
State must be kept separate as the founders of
the republic intended it should be kept
Their tactics might have saved Scopes
from paying the penalty of the law, but the
menace Of church controlled state would have
remained. The menace might even be in
creased.
Did they not, in effect, say: Our client is
charged with teaching theory that conflicts
with the Bible story of creation. We will
prove there is no conflict
Thereby, did they not accept the right of
the church-the church of the fundamentalists
in this instance-to control education in the
State? Did they not accept the right of the
State Legislature to set up an official religion?
1t seems so to us.
Fortunately, the attorneys for the defense
do understand the real objection to this Ten
nessee statute. They may be expected to make
it clear before the case is concluded in the
higher courts. It is their duty, of course, to
protect young Scopes from punishment if they
can and to use any proper and legal means to
do so. But beyond that there is their larger
duty as good citizens to keep the real issue
clear which is that no legislative body should
be permitted to fasten church control upon
any State, under the name of education or
any other name.

Mrs: Krauss Leaves
Prison

@1WENTY- ONE years behind prison walls !
With this record behind her Mrs. Rae
Krauss, Indiana's most notorious woman
murderer, goes fres. Her crime Mortified the
whole country more than score of years ago.
Today her act is only memory and she her
self has been in a tomb that is called a prison.
Mrs. Krauss, who today is only 46, steps
out into a new world. Only she herself knows
what she has suffered during the twenty-one

prison behind to become good citizen She
still is young and can have useful life before
her, if she will make it so.
Perhaps Indiana never was SO aroused as it

the State, counties cities and townships.
& Mr.. Marlborough does not give figures
showing the average income of each family
if such figures are available-but it is certain
that governmental expenses comprise rather
large percentage Of familys income.

means that the average family pays $22.16- a

probably is nearly enough to pay the rent of
the average family.
@ Surprising the income of the average fam
lily is $4,000 year-a figure that probably is
high. On this basis it would mean that the
average Indiana family pays 1873 per cent of
its income in taxes, exclusive of those paid to
the Federal Government.
Of course, this does not mean that the

THE BOLDEST SAILORS
WHO EVER LIVED

Long before the days of Spanish
galleons, British Adventures or
Yankee whalers, these seas were
navigated by the boldest sailors of
all-the Polynesian pioneers.
Not in ships, but in canoes, ages
before any European had ventured
out of sight of land, these
primitive peoples had explored and
populated the whole Pacific.
For long distance travel, they
built a deck between two canoes
and hoisted a sail Of mating.
Thus they could carry food and
water and their only domestic
animals-rats and dogs.
They had no written language,
and no charts. For maps they
had poetic chants.
They knew the consultations
and the seasons, and steered by
them. A ca labash with two holes
at the proper angle served as a
sort of sextant to determine
latitude.
For longitude they must have
trusted to dead reckoning.
When they arrived at the ap-
proximate latitude of their destina-
ton, they headed east or west,
spread out transversely in a long
north and south line, each boat
just within signaling distance Of
the next
The first one to sight the island
would give the signal, which the
rest would pass on, and all con-
verge TO the destination.
Many must have lost the way
many must have been drowned or
starved. The islands were populated
by the survivors.
