GIVES POINTERS ON
FEEDING OF CALVES
High Prices on Good Cows Puts
New Value on Growing
Profitable Heifers.

Losing calves or stunning their
growth takes on far more serious air
today than 1t did few years ago.
Good milk cows can only be developed
from thrifty growing heifers and to-
days higher prices for good cows has
automatically put more interest and
care into raising heifer calves
In line with the trend of the times.
W. r. Arends. wel-known dairy au-
thority of the Purina Mills. says. ut
has long been known that vitamin A
and D are extremely essential In the
ration for raising the right kind Of
heifer. Now with the recent discovery
of concentrated vitamin A, calf rails
ing has become less hazardous. This
concentrated vitamin A is being passed
along to dairymen by the Purina Re
search Farm In the form of a new In
Igredient called Pur-a-tene, added to
every sack of Purina calf feed.
First Feed Should Be Milk
In MAXIM feeding recommendations
for the first few days of calf's life,
Arends says that the first food should
be calf's own mothers cOlostrum milk.
This milk is laxative and performs the
Job of setting the digestive system in
motion. If it is felt necessary to take
the calf from its mother before nurs-
ing, and If the milk Is fit, Arends ad-
vises milking the cow and feeding the
calf by hand. He says bottle and
nipple may be necessary although
many dairymen teach the calf to drink
from a pail the first feeding. If for
reason of disease, the mothers milk
cannot be used, milk from COW that's
in the first part of her lactation period
should be fed.
mature has taught the calf to look
I'D for its milk" according to Arends,
"yet when the dairyman teaches 1t to
drink he expects the calf to hold lis
head down. Remember, the calf must
be taught every step of the way. The
earlier the calf is started. the easier
1t will be-"
Overlooking Milk Is Dangerous
Another condition Arends points to
is that the baby calf has very dell
cate digestive system and overlooking
it with milk is almost sure to bring
trouble. He advises starting with

ADVERTISING SELLS CONIMOD.

tiles

Before Thanksgiving this year,
progressive food stores of the coun-
try carried on an aggressive turkey
sales campaign. More turkeys were
sold than ever before, aud at prices
that were attractive to consumer as
we'll as producers.
Sales methods varied somewhat in
different localities-but the partici-
pating stores seemed to appreciate
the value and necessity of newspaper
advertising. For example, here is
an excerpt from the report of one
large chain system: Newspaper ad-
vertising was carried in all the prin-
cipal metropolitan and rural news
papers in our territory -. Before
our Thanksgiving demands had been
filled there was a decided scarcity of
turkeys of the top grade in our
market"
Newspapers have been potent
factor in other food sales campaigns
such as the recent beef and veal
drive.
1t is apparent that this is good bust
ness all around-for the farmer, for
the merchant, for the newspaper and
for the consumer. In the past, some
retailers have attempted to eliminate
newspaper advertising-and they
have usually found that it was the
poorest kind of economy, ''The
paper"-whether it be a daily or
week.-Mrs. fixture of the American
home and finds an eager audience.
Pay the farmer fair price, charge
the consumer a fair price, advertise
extensively-and consumption of
commodities scars.

NO SANTA CLAUS FOR WAR
LORDS
LORDS

Notwithstanding declaration of
q fat, mandatory, automatic policy of
absolute neutrality is the greatest
contribution we could possibly make
to the peace of the world"
That is the belief of Senator Ben
nett Champ Clark 3D., Missouri) 4,
member of the former Nye munitions
committee, who is taking an active
part in the Senate consideration of
neutrality.
Setting forth in broadcast ar
ranged by the National Council for
Prevention of War his views on a
"real neutrality policy, Senator
Clark said it would mean taking the
American flag off munition ships, re-
moving protection from Americans
who travel on belligerent ships, en-
bargoing munitions and implements
Of war to all belligerents, and the
''strict limitation Of shipments OF
raw materials particularly suitable
to the manufacture of munitions and
the export of other raw materials
only at the risk of the buyer"
IF the nations of the world are
made to realize that if they persist in
their course of Madness" Senator
Clark asserted, they cannot be
either financed or supplied from our
shores, it will be the greatest deter
rent to war which we could possibly
provide. Let us make it plain that
Uncle Sam does not intend again to
play Uncle Santa Claus to the war
lords of the world"
He added that the President should
have the power to determine when a
state Of war exists, but declared,
''once the facts have been determin-
ed, the course Of our neutrality
should be mandatory"

PILOT WIRES

Voice currents require less energy
on circuits in long distance cables on
cold days than on hot ones. For ex-
ample: On a 200-mile long distance
telephone circuit in cable nine times
as much current is required on hot
day as on a cold one. To overcome
this difficulty a temperature recorder
and current regulator has been de-
veloped by the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories, which, by means of thin pilot
wire inside the cable, adjusts the cur
rent to suit the temperature.
There are now in service about 49,
100000 miles of long distance tele-
phone wire in the United States, thirty
per cent of which is in cable. Tenn
perature recorders and current regula-
tors are operated at intervals of 100
to 200 miles on certain long distance
cables, so that changes from cold to
hot or vice versa respond to the
changes in the pilot wire, which auto
matically adjusts the volume of the
current. No human being could be as
accurate as this device, which is par
ticularly valuable in the summer
months.
On hot day sudden rain storm
may blow up, cooling the cable, which
will reduce the amount of current
necessary. The pilot wire automatic
ally reduces the amount of current
necessary in the operation of these cir
cults. The pilot wire transmits the
message and the regulator makes the
change Immediately.
Telephone calls are completed and
people talk just as satisfactorily
whether it's hot or cold. AS far as
they are concerned nothing out of the
ordinary has happened.

GoLDsBoRoUGH HITS INSTALL
MENT PLAN
Explains His Bill To Substitute Cash
Buying For Time Payment
Method

Washington, Jan. 12-Representa-
tive Goldsborough, of Maryland, to-
day gave the House a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the purpose and back
ground of the bill he is sponsoring to
achieve permanent distribution of
national production.
The bill, which he first introduced
in 1895, was reintroduced last week
by the Marylander, who ranks next
to the chairman on the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee. Its
goal, he explained today, is to modify
the financial system by abolishing the
practice of borrowing money from
banks and thus creating debts in or
der to make purchases.
Provides For Discount
"This BILL" he said, provides for
discount to the consumer on all
wanted goods sold at retail, starting
with discount of twenty-five per
cent, and providing that this discount
shall be varied from time to- time to a
point making it possible for all the
people to purchase all the people can
produce.
Under this bill, the retailer can
deposit with his bank a certificate In
an amount representing the discount,
which amount is placed to his credit
as deposit, the bank in turn receiv-
ing a credit on the books of COM
mission created by the Federal Gov
eminent in an amount equal to the
discount, and receiving certificate
in an equivalent amount from this
Government commission which it
can use to equalize interbank bal
ances, and which it can also use as
currency in periods of emergency.
Cites Imitation Preventive
"You will ask how" he continued,
under such a system imitation can
be prevented"
1t would be prevented, he said, by
the open market operations of the
Federal Reserve system, by increases
in the reserve requirements of mem
Der banks and increases in rediscount
rates, and by gradual reduction in
the enormous national, state, mu-
nicipal, corporate and personal debt
load of the country"
GAS you will see," he told the
House, "the consumers dividends
amounts to an inverted sales tax, and
the bill provides that in case of neces-
sity, to prevent imitation, the process
can be reversed and sales tax i'm
posed"
His bill, Mr.. Goldsborough said, is
designed to substitute cash purchas-
es for installment buying throughout
the country.
"High-pressure craftsmanship is
selling to people everything from au-
tomobiles to washing machines on
the installment PLAN" he asserted.
This means that the people do not
have sufficient purchasing power to
buy the articles so sold on an INSTALL
ment basis, which in turn means that
they are mortgaging not only their
property but their future earning
power.

! about three pounds of milk daily for
small breeds, and about four pounds
daily for the larger breeds; gradually
increasing the milk up to 8 pounds
daily by the last day of the week for
heavier breeds and per day for the
smaller breeds. Along with the milk
the calf should be taught to eat dry
feed as quickly as possible.
Easy Way to Get Calves Eating
"When the calf is but days old,
it should get its first solid food" says
! Arends. "Calf Chow in checker form
Is the easiest and safest dry feed on
which 10 start the calf. A few check
ers should be placed in the calf's
mouth directly after feeding 1t milk.
With checkers and grain ration In
a trough before the calf at all times,
It will soon get the habit Of taking
feed as II needs it. Fresh, clean water
and good alfalfa hay should be avail
able at all times. On this kind OF
feeding, it won't be long until the calf
is well on Its way to a profitable first
calf heifer."
IF Interested, more information can
be obtained on raising calves from the
latest Purina dairy bulletin, available
from all feed stores handling Purina
feeds"

ments, including the construction of
long distance lines, are proving great
asset to many Chinese provinces. More
than so districts in the Anhui province
have been recently connected by long
distance telephone lines, according to
the Chinese Economic Journal and Bull
letin. A long distance line is being
constructed in the Human province, a
distance of 918 miles and another is
being constructed for distance of 575

 Having Cnaperoneu, engineered, directed or supervised efforts to amend liquor legislations in the recent session of the General Assem- ply, Edward J. Ryan, Thomaston's gift to Waterbury, Hartford and Washington, D. C., now ventures a prediction. Having qualified as a pinch-hitter for Emily Post in Con- necticut by ruling that it is ill., becoming for women to lean their elbows on a bar in public drinking place, MT. Ryan now gazes into the crystal and broadcasts as follows:
 "The era of five cent beer will soon be thing Of the past" declares the secretary of the National Retail Liquor Dealers Association, Inc, who Is MT. Ryan in person." The great est problem that the retail liquor and beer dealers of this state have had to face since the repeal of pro- hibition is the cutthroat competi- ton 1t has had in the trade"

 Under the Fair Trade Act which was passed by the general assembly and signed by Governor Cross new schedule of prices governing the re- tail sale of beer, liquor and wine by the drink is being set up. While It IS still too early to say exactly what new prices will be it is certain that there will be no five cent beer ln Connecticut and no dealer will be allowed to sell more than ten ounces
