Diirlcj- Cheaper Than Corn
At tho present time barley is sell
ing on tho market for about $2.25
per hundred pounds in comparison to
a price of $3 per hundred pounds for
corn. Tho question is being asked as
to which is tho better buy nt theso
prices. Experimental work has shown
consistently that barley, when gruond
and soaked, is almost the equivalent
of corn, for fattening animals. On
this basis with tho relatively wide
spread in price which wo have now
barley could easily be pronounced the
cheaper feed of tho two, and it cer
tainly would seem the part of wis
dom to utilize it where possible in
the ration of animals, especially hogs
which aro being made ready for tho
market. Experimental work has
shown that the gain is increased ma
terially by grinding and soaking the
barley before feeding.

An assemblage of several hundred
friends and relatives of Mnj. William
R. Ream gathered at tho E. J. Smith
homo in Homor Friday afternoon to
pay homago to one who had given
up his life in the service of his
country.
Simplo and impressive services
were held at the home of his sister,
Dr. Nina R. Smith, Rov. F. J. Aucock,
M. E. pastor of Dakota City, deliver
ing the sermon, eulogizing tho de
ceased in giving up his all to nnswer

need.
From tho homo tho home guards
from different towns around escort
ed tho remains to tho Omaha V.nlloy

ho wns n mombor.
On tho following Sundny morning
two aviators from tho British-American
Squadron, of which ho was n
member when ho met his death In n
fall at EfTinijdii.m, 111., flew from
Omaha in a Curtiss Hispano Suiza
machine and strewed flowers over the
newly made grave. Tho occupants
of the machine wero Licuts. Council
and Carroll, tho former as pilot nnd
tho latter as observer. They flew
back and forth over tho cemetory
several times, and on passing tho
gravo of their comrade, some times

they threw handfuls of cut flowers
over tho grave, then winged their
way northward for Minneapolis, to

WESTERN CAN CLANS GATHER
Many States to Participate in Patriotic
Contests at Interstate Fair
Conservation Vital.
With Amorica, llko all the other
great nations of the world, submit
ting with flno solf-denlnl to numerous
and Browing restrictions on food con
lumptlon, tho management of tho In
terstate Live Stock Fair, which will
bo held at Sioux City Soptombor 16,
17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, is expecting that
one of tho most Important, certainly
one ot the most Interesting of all ex
position features this year will bo
those relating to food production and
Us equally viiul corollary, food con
servation. Probably tho most interesting
phases In all this great movement are
those represented by tho work ot tho
children of tho country through the
myriad clubs organized with tho ap
proval and under the guidance ot gov
ernment experts. As these oxporto
have pointed out In communications
to Secretary Morton, of the big exposi
tion at Sioux City, tho boys and girls
of America aro engaged by thousands
and tens of thousands in a mighty
"children's crusade" which is almost
as romantic and many times more
practical than tho famous children's
crusado of medieval history. Theso
modern child, ;rusaders, both boys ana
girls, numbering It is estimated a full
million In Amorica, aro working
through their potato clubs, their poul
try clubs, their live stock clubs and
their baking and canning clubB topro
duco such supplies ot food as tho
world has never seen, and to con
serve such supplies with a, better
skill and completeness than a few
years ago was dreamed of.
Last year for tho first time the In
terstate Fair became a meeting ground
ot contesting boys and girls who la
the state contests of this section had
won their championships. Govern
ment representatives supervised and
directed the contestB, and expressed
tho groatest satisfaction with results
derived. This year, largoly at the
suggestion ot these offlclal men who
forosaw for tho Interstate Fair a pe
culiar field for this endeavor, instead
of four states being represented there
will bo at least 10, and tho contests
between state champion teams will as
sume tho nature of a sectional affair
representing tho wholo northwest,
partly this vastly enlarged showing
will bo duo to tho liberal premiums
hung up by tho Fair for baby boot and
DlK feeding clubs, as well as for all
varieties ot war foods. But more im
portant oven than that lnfluonce, In
the opinion of the fair directors, la
tho widespread realization among all
people that the world Is crying for
food; that it must havo moro bread,
raoro moat, more vegetables and more
fruit If millions are not to starve; and
that on the great agricultural popula
tion of this section, especially, de
volves tho responsibility of prevent
ing so terrible a catastrophe.
It has been arranged, by co-opera-tlon
between tho Fair officials and tho
federal and stato agricultural agencies
to focus all possible attention on this
part of the Fair. Suporvislon will bo
in the hands of a larger corps of ex
perts than ever boforo. Tho number
ot entries is far In oxcobs ot any pre
viously recorded.
Keep on Cniinlng
"Keep canning, sugar or no sugar,"
says tho United States Department
of Agriculturo. If you can't get su
gar enough for homo canning put up
your fruit without it. The products
will keep perfectly until a time
when moro sugar is available or until
a sugar substitute program has been
worked out. Fruits put up in this
way aro excellent for nio tilling and
salads and may bo used in deserts,
puddings, ices and punches. In can
ning fruit without sugar, can tho
product tho day it is picked.

Sure liny and Grain
The Stnto Council of Defcnco has
asked farmers to uso special caro in
stacking hay and grain along rail
roads. A largo amount of loss occurs
in this way every year. Tho Council
offers tho following suggestions:
1. Do not stack hay, grain, straw
or fodder of any description within
500 feet of a railroad track, and far
ther away if possible and convenient.
2. If grain is left In shocks after
cutting, plow lire guards of six fur
rows 300 foot from tho track, and
put as many of tho shocks as you can
where they will bo protected by this
guard.
3. If stacks aro located whoro fire
frpm a railroad may reach them,
plow or burn firo guards around such
stacks.
4. Protect meadows by burning or
plowing firo guards,, of sufficient
width, 300 feet from tho track.
Wo aro convinced that if theso sug
gestions aro carried out, much prop
erty can bo saved, and If nnyono re
fuses to co-oporato you should very
promptly notify tho Stato Council,
giying name nnd address of Buch
persons,
