Rosco, who has boxed with Dempsey, says: “Dempsey hit me harder; Gibbons hit me twice as often.” Shelby, Mont.—Tommy Gibbons will have the unanimous backing of this town when he meets Jack Dempsey in the July 4 battle here. Shelby Is "Gibbons-mad. So ksen are the local people for Gibbons that one man offered to bet 2,000 town lots against even money that Gibbons would beat Dempsey. “More speed" is the crying need of the Gibbons camp. It is the keynote of Gibbons’ training. Fighters who have sparred with Dempsey agree that Gibbons can get a sock in faster than Dempsey, but the question uppermost in most minds is whether he can lay one in hard enouyh to put the champion on his back for a count of ten.

Hens Need More Mash During Soinmer Months Nature will not supply enough animal protein in the form of bugs and worms during the spring and summer to supply the laying flock of poultry with what is needed to insure good egg production, according to A. G. Phillips, head of the poultry department, Purdue University. In the spring when hens get free range and in the summer when they have the entire farm for exercise, it is a common practice to reduce the amount of mash containing protein and depend upon the grain as the large part of the feed to be supplied. As the weather warms up, hens do not need as much heat supplied by the grain as they do in the winter. Consequently the grain consumption should be reduced and mash consumption increased. In order to see that the hens eat more mash as the season progresses it may be necessary to feed practically no grain in the morning. If the Purdue mash of 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds middlings and 60 pounds high-grade 60 per cent tankage is used, the proportion of grain to mash in the spring should be two to one and in the summer one to one, or equal parts of grain to mash. As a rule, egg production begins to slump as soon as warm weather arrives, but if the mash consumption increases the slump will not be so great. The summer production can be very high and consequently profitable. On farms where much waste grain is available it may be advisable to con-

fine the liens until about ten o'clock in the forenoon, thus compelling them to eat mash before they are permitted to range over the farm. It is natural for liens to eat more grain than is best for good egg prouction in the summer but high mash consumption is absolutely necessary for good sumegg production. 0 Building Boom On At Winona Lake Resort A building and improvement boom which started last year at Winona Lake, Indiana, has been renewed this 1 season with increasing interest. A fine reinforced pavement has just been opened to traffic on Park Avenue, the main thoroughfare of the well j known resort. New cottages and homes are springing up almost over night. Remodeling. painting ami cleaning up in general has become an epidemic. A new sprinking system covering the entire 40-acre park is being installed. With this device and the new pavement Winona promises to be more beautiful than ever with lawns green and no dust from the heavy traffic on the new street. Special provision is being made for the parking of autos. •— Saved From Hanging. A man of the name of John Lee, who lived In Babbicombe, Devonshire, England, was sentenced to death for slaying. Through some bungling on the part of the hangman, three unsuccessful attempts were made to execute the sentence and lie wus aftervtard par doned and re!eased.

NATION REPRESENTED I AT FINANCE CAPITAL By FRANCIS H. SISSON Chairman Public Relations Commit* alon, American Bankers Association.

Financial New York Is peculiarly representative of the whole nation. All parts of , the country, the small towns as I well as the big ' cities, have supplied the greater • part of the man ' power and brain

power enabling It to function as the nation's financial ‘ capital. A recent Investigation as to the origin of one hundred leading executives in the New York financial dls- ' trict, showed that no less than sixty I per cent were born outside New York i | State, that no less than twenty-eight I I per cent were born in towns of S,DUO or less, and only twenty per cent were born In New York City. The birthplaces of these men rep- ! resented Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa- I 1 chusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, MisI sourl, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, | Vermont, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Minnesota, lowa, Florida, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Georgia, California, Montana, Maine, West Virginia, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. | The same situation is true of the | younger men, particularly in the banks. This reflects more than merely the attraction of the big city for ambitious young men. It is the result of the definite purpose of New York banking to equip itself to perform most effectively its work for all the nation. A brief description of the mechanism of the nation’s banking system will make this clear. Many of the New York banks are bankers’ banks. : They are great reservoirs of credit In j which banks throughout the country deposit unemployed funds in New York. When crop needs in rural districts or industrial expansion in manufacturing centers Increase local requirements for money tnese local banks call in their funds from New York and in addition may ask the big city banks for loans. Country banks frequently deposit I as security the notes of their own customers, often secured, In turn, by farm I capital such as ploughs, livestock and i other possessions. The fifty thousand ! dollar note, for Instance, of a country bank in a big New York bank may have attached, as collateral security, fifty or a hundred small notes of a i hundred dollars up to a thousand I or more, signed by local farmers and | their wives. Into one of the biggest I New York banks comes in this way from the South each crop season a , small note secured by a plough and a harrow and a mule named “Molly”— , an incident that has been aptly dei scribed as “The Minting of Molly.” It Is one among many securing a large i inter-bank credit. Thus is big banking in New York brought close to the plain people of the soil—thus does it finance their humble husbandry—and thus has it felt the need of recruiting its officers from among men familiar and sympathetic with local conditions—able to I visualize the needs of the people there and pass sound judgment on the credit factors involved. It is due to the conditions thus pictured that among the officers of New i York’s banks will be found represen- , tatives from all parts of the nation. ' They are the delegates of the people i at the business capital.

Why Group Fights Group America is suffering from a lack of economic understanding. It is, therefore, that we find group arrayed against group—that we find the grower at variance with the producer, the producer with the consumer and both with the carrier. It is because of a lack of economic understanding that we find capital and labor frequently striving against each other. Yet each element is vitally interested in each other for the final succses of the entire endeavor—in the farmer growing a prime crop and getting a fair return; in the canner packing a palatable crop and getting a fair return; in the carrier transporting without damage or deterioration and getting a fair return; in the wholesaler making a wide distribution and getting a fair return; in the retailer satisfying his customer and getting a fair return, in labor aiding each of the processes and getting a fair return; in capital supplying the money and credit to make each process possible and getting a fair return, and in the consumer receiving a pure, flourishing, dependable, wholesome health giving article at a fair price. There Is tills community of interest in the production and consumption of human requirements that should prohibit strife among the producing and con suming elements. J. 11. Puelicner, President American Bankers Association. Gompers on Socialism State socialism is repugnant to the American mind for a great many reasons. Americans generally prefer to carve out the future in freedom They are unwilling to accept the idea of an all-powerful state. It is the American idea that the people shall order the state and shape its course; not that the state shall order the lives of the people, fitting them into niches to suit a card Index.-— Samuel Gompers.

i DAIRY POINTS COW UNDER TEST CONDITION Animal Produces Sixty Per Cent Mora Milk and Butterfat Than When With Herd. Why cows under test conditions produce on the average WJ per cent more milk and butterfat than those kept under ordinary herd conditions Is a problem the dairy division, United States Department of Agriculture, Is still unable to solve. In the recent annual report of the bureau of animal Industry, It Is stated thut only 20 per cent of the Increase has been satisfactorily accounted for. Five per cent wus due to keeping cows In box stulls compared with stanchions. Other experiments conducted on the government furtn at Beltsville, Md„, show that with cows of average production irregular milking wus not detrimental to milk and butterfat production and that the cost of production Is increased when cows are exercised to (lie extent of being driven three miles a day. However, exercise was I found to Increase slightly the fat con--1 tent. A considerable number of calves | were fed with a nipple as compared , with drinking from a pall. Results . showed no advantage In using nipples. Pectin pulp, a by-product In the ( manufacture of pectin from apple , pomace, was found to be less palatable, and less valuable as a dairy feed than beet pulp. The use of molasses in the dairy ration Is not justifiable, the government report shows, for a group of cows that were given molasses In addition to regular ration produced slightly less than the group that received the regular ration only. A 20-year experiment, now In progress at Manhattan, Kan., will determine to what extent milk production 1 can be developed without sacrificing desirable beef type. The work was started In 1915 and Shorthorn cuttie are being used. PASTURED ON SWEET CLOVER Good Results Obtained in Test Made at Michigan Station —No Trouble From Bloating. Four cows, receiving approximately one pound of grain for four pounds of milk, produced and pastured on 1.46 acres of sweet clover for 177 cow days, i maintained their weight and produced 6.088.6 pounds of milk and 201 pounds of fat, according to O. E. Reed and J. E Burnett of the Michigan experiment station. At the start of the test the ■ clover was 37 to 42 Inches high, and another portion yielded 2.75 tons of hay to the acre. Over 40 per cent of j the plants were in bud and nearly 15 , per cent were In bloom at that time. When first turned on the pasture three of the cows did not eat the clover readily, but they soon relished it. No signs of bloating were noted throughout the experiment. SKIM MILK RATION FOR CALF Substitution Can Be Made in Week or Ten Days After Animal la Two Weeks Old. When the calf Is two weeks old, It can be gradually changed from a ration of whole milk to one of skim milk by substituting an equal amount of skim milk for each portion of whole milk removed. The plan of substitution Is based on the supposition that the farmer can secure a limited amount of skim milk. A complete substitution can be secured . In a week or ten days. When this ' substitution has been completed, a j medium-sized calf ought to be receiv- ■ Ing about twelve pounds of milk dally.

DAIRY HINTS Everything nbout the calf should be scrupulously clean. • » • Quarters must be clean and dry, with plenty of bedding. • • • A scrub bull Is worth something to the butcher, nothing to you. • • • Good cows may be obtained by purchase and by breeding and testing. Marks for Identification should be plain, without disfiguring the animal. • • • Stanchions save milk and prevent the calves from sucking one another. * * * Good ventilation Is absolutely necessary to the health and comfort of the cows. « • » Are yon feeding your dairy cows for production or for Just keeping them alive? • • • A man should not be satisfied with cows that produce only 200 pounds of butterfat. • * • Calf diseases are largely the result of filth and carelessness. Prevention Is cheapest and best. * * « Cows are greatly creatures of hublt. and regularity of feeding at all times Is essential for best results. ♦ * • It costs about as much to raise a calf of Inferior breeding, ns one with genuine dairy characteristics.

DRINK WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER ——— Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains or Bladder Is Irritated Flush your kidneys by drinking n quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted an- : thorlty, who tells us that too much rich food forms adds which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel It from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, ydur stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and Irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse ths kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts rfom any pharmacy here. Take a 'aldespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act tine.

By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. _______o Need Women Missionaries Chicago, June 18.—Over two hunIred women workers are needed by .he Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, according to a statement lamed today by Mrs. Clyde Collison, representative of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society on the Commisdon of Life Service of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Coll Mon when teen at headquarters, 740 Rusli street, said: “The foreign conferences had sent urgent calls, for 238 new women workers and there were only 54 applications to consider, of these only 24 can sail this fall. Other candidates who have been previously accepted will increase the numlA-r going out to foreign lands to about 40.” •— Must Move Fences Back Warsaw, June 18.—Farmers resid-
