CALVES FED ON SKIM
MILK SHOULD HAVE GRAIN
Need Supplemental Feeds to Provide
for Missing Fattening Properties.


for Missing Fattening Properties.
BOHEMIAN, June 2.--Calves fed on
skim milk need supplemental feeds to
provide the missing fattening proper
ties lost through separating the milk,
advises j. O. Tretsven, extension dairy
specialist at Montana State College.
In order to make the most rapid
gains calves should be kept on whole
milk until they eat grain. Calves four
weeks old should be taught to eat
grain. Place little grain in the bot
tom Of the milk bucket to get them
started, then change slowly to skim
milk. BY the time the calves are from
three to six months Of age they should
be consuming about IS to "a pounds Of
skim milk per head daily
Montana grown grains such as corn,
barley, wheat and oats develop excel
lent calves when fed in conjunction
with skim milk Four parts Of rolled
barley or corn, five parts whole oats
and one part bran or shorts is one ra-
ton Which has given good results.

Too Much
ACID

MANY people, two hours after eat
IVA ing, suffer indigestion as they call
it. It is usually excess acid. Correct it
with an alkali. The best way, the quick,
harmless and efficient way, is Phillips
Milk Of Magnesia. 1t has remained for
SO years the standard with physicians.
One spoonful in water neutralizes many
times its volume in stomach acids, and
at once. The symptoms disappear in five
minutes.
You will never use crude methods
when you know this better method. And
you will never suffer from excess acid
when you prove out this easy relief.
Get genuine Philips Milk Of Mag
nesie, the kind that physicians have
prescribed for over so years in correcting
excess acids. 25c and Soc bottle any
drugstore.

lighting unit which will approximate
daylight in color and provide ultra-vo-
let rays equal to natural sunlight, will
provide light for the workers.
A glow as pleasant and as invigorating
as spring sunshine will be the result, the
engineers state.
Due to absence of drafts caused by
opening windows, the employees in the
factory will never be bothered with colds
or the "snuffles", is another claim made
by the engineers. Also the factory will
have no windows to become dirty and re-
quired washing.
We wish science every success in this
new venture-as long as they keep it in
Massachusetts, or some place outside of
Imperial Valley. Man is to be encour-
aged in every scientific undertaking, but
we are not yet ready to admit that sci
ence can supply a first class substitute
for the sun.
Such inventions may be needed back in
Massachusetts where there are quite
few gray, gloomy, depressing days in the
course Of the year.
But if these inventors ever head
toward California with the idea of plac-
ing their lights on the job instead Of the
sun, we hope Jimmy Rolph sends out the
national guard and the Native Sons and
Daughters, to meet them at the border
and send them hence from here even if
it requires bullets to do it.

CONTRAST

Miss Betty Compton IS a noted stage
and screen star. Doubtless she has
brought enjoyment to thousands Of
others in her particular line of work,
and was well paid for it.
Recently she married Eddie Bowling
also connected with the stage. Recently
was February 16 They went to Cuba
for a honeymoon and came back from
Cuba on separate boats.
Miss Compton proceeded to Mexico
and her husband remained in New York
On March q, little more than month
from the time God and man Joined them
together, she obtained a divorce in
Cuernavaca, Mexico, and is now free to
wed again if she chooses. Cuernavaca, it
might be stated, was where Lindbergh
courted Anne Morrow.
The Compton-Dowling affair is typi-
cal of many in this land of easy divorce.
Those who think there are to many di-
vorces should not blame the Comptons
and the Dowlings. Not with sovereign
states competing with each other for the
easy divorce business.
Up in Los Angeles, Mr.. and Mrs. Abra-
ham Cherniavsky present a pleasant con-
trast to the Compton-Dowling marital
farce.
On Easter Sunday the Cherniavskys
Will have been married so years. Mr..
Cherniavsky is a retired musician who
has also entertained people and has been
well paid for it though not as we'll paid
as we pay our movie and stage stars.
With what he was paid the Chernlavskys
have raised eight children, all accom-
plished musicians.
With the advantages of plenty OF
money and prestige the Compton-Dow-
ling combination was flop. Or is
money an advantage?
The Cherniavskys, with very little
money, can be judged a success by all the
standards of life. And incidentally, the
Cherniavskys were married in Russia.
Perhaps if they tried to get into the
United States now they would be barred
as undesirables. But in the light of de-
velopments which are more desirable,
Cherniavskys or Compton Dowlings?
Which will benefit the United States
more?

buzzed the bee in Uncle Wiggily's

swered the rabbit gentleman.
Never mind" spoke the bee,
kindly. You will soon be at our
hive tree. Under that you will be
sheltered You can stay there until
we make you an umbrella and then
you can hop home through the April
shower and keep dry
1T is very kind of you said the
rabit gentleman. But I do not see
how you bees can make me an UNI

You'll see," was all the bee buzz
ed. Turn to the right now and then
you will soon reach our hive tree
Uncle Wiggily had been out look
ing for an adventure. Nurse Jane
had told him to take an umbrella
but he said it wouldn't rain so he
went without one. In the woods
Uncle Wiggily found a honey bee
who had bumped into tree. The
bees wings were bruised and bent
so it couldn't fly. Uncle Wiggily Of
fered to take it home to the hive in

A LARGE TASK

The National Committee on the Cause
and Cure of War cites 256 causes of war,
against which it plans to wage cam
paign in behalf of peace.
The committee is a national organiza-
tion of women, having for its object,
world peace.
None will doubt that it has picked
very worthy object and will wish it sue
cess. But we are inclined to be discour-
aged with regard to the organizations
chances for success. 1t appears to have
too much overhead If 256 causes have
to be destroyed before war becomes a
back number, none of the committee will
be alive TO see the objective achieved.
Many causes of war can be cited and
it is quite likely that if one sat down and
gave the subject serious thought, the 256
causes cited by the women could be sur
passed.
Boiling them down to minimum war
can be assigned three fundamental caus-
es-greed, intolerance and ignorance.
And they are just as difficult to eradi-
cate as any 256 causes the women or any
one else can cite.

the Queen bee.
II guess you don't read the pa
pers' chuckled Mr.. Longears. And
then the bee, whom he had so kind
ly brought home IN his pocket be-
cause it could not fly with bruised
wings-this bee buzzed and said:
Uncle Wiggily is good friend.
He helped me and now, when he
needs an umbrella to keep off the
rain, we must help him"
Surely" said the polite Queen
bee.
Surely" buZZed all the other bees
in the hollow tree hive. They were
awakening from their long winter
sleep and getting ready TO fly out
and look for early flowers from the
juices of which they would make
honey. surely We'll make an UNI
brella for Uncle Wiggily.'
L don't see how you can!" spoke
the rabbit. Umbrellas are not easy
to make
You must do your part" buzzed
the Queen. In the bottom Of this
hollow tree, Uncle Wiggily, is piece
of stiff, brown paper, blown there
by. the March wind. Take it out. %
Uncle Wiggily took the piece of stiff
brown paper and held it up. Now
find q stick for a handle, thrust the
stick through the paper, spreading
it out and it will like an umbrella, -
said the Queen Bee.
1T may look like an umbrella, 70
Uncle Wiggily said. But if go out
in the rain with paper umbrella
it will soon be soaked through"
Not after we wax it for you"
buzzzed the Queen. THAT is our
part. Hold your paper umbrella up
high over your head, Uncle Wig
gily."
The rabbit gentleman did this.
Then the Queen and her bees spread
yellow wax from their hive over the
paper, making it stiff and so coat
ing it that no water could leak
through. For water cannot go
through wax and the bees make
wax as we'll as honey.
There is your umbrella Now hop
home through the rain and keep
dry," called the Queen Bee. And
with the waxed paper umbrella over
his head Mr.. Longears was soon
home in his bungalow quite dry ex-
cept for the rain that splasned on
MIN when he was carrying the
bruised bee.
Thus everything ended happily.
And if the ice-cream pie doesn't
catch cold when it goes to the
movies with the bread knife. I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily's fun

NORGE WILL BE
DISTRIBUTED BY
TONDR0'S FIRM

The Norge Corporation, division
of Borg-Warner Corporation, man
ufacturers of the Norge electric re-
frigerator, announce the appoint
ment of the Valley Auto Supply
Company as distributors for Norge
electric refrigerators. both domestic
and commercial, as well as their
line OF water coolers, bottle and city
pressure models.
w. A. Tondro, of the Valley Auto
Supply Company, realizing that this
is the age of electric conveniences,
comfort and economy has. for the
past year been investigating elec-
tric refrigeration. as well as other
electrical appliances directly con-
nected with the home. Being a
distributor in this territory, OF prov
en- quality merchandise, he felt it
was necessary to have these refrig-
orators thoroughly tested in this
area, and therefore took every pre-
caution IN selecting a line. Only
after it had been proven in this
territory and under the extreme
high temperature which exists here,
was it adopted.
Tondro was satisfied with the
tests which were made here by the
engineers for Norge last summer
during July and August. He found
the Norge was designed by the
builders to give a lifetime service
in any climate. The feature of the
rollator compressor, with only three
moving parts running in a COM
plete bath of oil, assured him of
minimum up-keep as we'll as dry
zero insulation, confirmed his opin-
ion that the Norge would be able
TO operate but a very little time in
order to maintain a very low tenn
perature. The Norge is not only a
refrigerator of simplified and eff
cient performance but has a cabi-
net Of surprising beauty and neat
ness of arrangement.
However, one of the most import
ant things to be considered. he felt,
was the financial responsibility of
the firm manufacturing the refrig-
orator, but in this case that fea.
ture was already taken care of, as
the Borg Warner Corporation was
we'll known to Tondro. They are
the manufacturers OF numerous
automobile parts and Tordro has
been dealing with this factory for
the past 10 years.
Tondro has secured the services
of r. v. Terry, well known on the
Pacific coast for the past 10 years,
to handle the sales of the Norge
refrigerator. He brings with him
a wealth of experience in mer-
chandising in both retail and
wholesale selling. His efforts are
confined entirely to the refrigera-
ton division of the business, being
in charge of all sales and service.
Terry, having always sold lines of
high quality merchandise, was
more than pleased to become asso-
ciated with the sale of Norge, hav-
ing looked thoroughly into the con-
struction and performance of Norge
in various parts of the country for
the past six years. He is now con-
yinced that in seeing the Norge
electric refrigerator before you buy,
you can buy your last refrigera-
tor first.
Public acceptance for the Norge
simplified refrigerat ton has made
it necessary for Tondro to receive
carload shipments direct from the
factory at Detroit.

sighed Uncle Wiggily as a little
stream OF water ran down his pink
nose and made it sneeze instead of
tWinkling.
"Yes, it is too bad" buzzed the
bee in his pocket. But you will be
all right when you get TO our hive
in the hollow tree"
II can't see how you bees can
make an umbrella" said Mr.. Long
ears. II know you can make honey,
but an umbrella is so different
81 don't say we can make a whole
umbrella to keep the rain off you,"
spoke the bruised bee. But if you
will do your share we will do ours"
III do anything to keep from

Longears.
On and on he hoped through the
woods, the bee in his pocket buZzing
from time to time TO tell him which
way to go. All the while the rain
was pelting down. And though it
was one of the April showers which
bring May flowers, still it was get

ct, looked through the mist of rain

Uncle Wiggily hoped close to and
beneath hollow tree which stood
near a big pine tree the thick, green
branches of which kept some of the
rain off the rabbit gentleman.
