NEED FOR WAR WELFARE WORK

The Knights of Columbus start a drive intndiana on May 5 for a war camp fund of $250,000, the state’s quota of a national fund of $16,000,000 which is now being raised to maintain and expand the ’ organization’s welfare activities until July 1, 1919. The Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. C. A., and several other organizations are diligently working to give the American soldiers and sailors in training camp and at fighting front homelike comforts’ and recreation which the U. S. government is unable to provide for our fighting forces. Letters front the soldiers to the folks back home, as well as

observation's of all who have looked into the war welfare service, make it evident that the service is not going ifar in cheering the spirits' of the boys in khaki, but tha't there is no likelihood of the service being overdone. There are too many thousand young men in the camps and trenches for the welfare organizations to reach the limit in their activities. The Knights of Columbus is entirely non-sectarian in giving aid, comfort and pleasure to the soldiers. The Rev. W. T. Manning, rector of Trinity Episcopal church. New York, and chaplain of a regiment of engineers at Camp Upton, gives unprejudiced observation of the Knights of Columbus service. “I have had at Camp Upton," Dr. Manning says, ‘‘opportunity to see what this work of the Knights of Columbus is accomplishing, and I say that it . deserves the support of every intelligent and patriotic American. it is sometimes suggested, and with the best intentions, that the Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A., Jewish Welfare Board, and others, ought to be combined into one organization. This would be the greatest possible mistake. One might say that the army might be 'Strengthened toy combining the infantry, artillery and engineers. We need them all and each one has its own work to do. To combine them would be a loss of -power and it would not work. Under present Circumstances these welfare agencies work in the friendliest spirit of cooperation. No agencies are doing more to win the war than the Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. C. X. tfnd the others 'and they are all needed."

THE FORK IN THE ROAD.

In one of our neighboring states, a'town has recently been wiped off the ihainroad,’ and another town put on it. The peculiar manner in which it happened ought to be of deep concern to every small town merchant in Indiana, because the same sort of happening is very possible to any sleepy town. In order to tell you this story we will call the two towns “Sleepy Hollow’’ and “Wakeville.’.’ It appears that the little townin question, Sleepy Hollow, was unfortunate in having a lot of sleepy merchants. They were not very Aggressive. They .felt sb sure that the farmers must trade with them that they did not care very imuch what was done to keep abreast of the times.

Now it appears that most of the farmers went to this town by one particular road. About half a mile from town there was a fork in this road and, by turning off, another town might be reached, just three miles away, and the farmers began to turn off, and they turned off with such regularity that soon the fork of the road was very much more traveled than the main road leading into Sleepy Hollow. Now here is where the strange thing happened: The road commissioners decided to macadam the main road and, when they came to this fork in the road, it was seen that the farmers were using the

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

Plant a Field of Corn to Hog Off.l /Leading farmers of this county] all agree that hogging off corn should be followed on every wellmanaged farm where corn is grown and fed to hogs, as the gains are more economical and rapid than when “the hogs are fed by hand, and the labor of harvesting and feeding corn is saved. The use of a supplementary protein feed increases the rate of gain and the total acre gain reduces the cost of production. Soy beans grown with the corn or tankage or oil meal fed in a self-feeder have increased the rate of gain and decreased the cost 30 per cent. In a trial last fall, soy beans planted with corn produced 179 pounds of pork more per acre than corn alone. At 15 cents per pound this extra amount of pork means $26.85 per acre in favor of adding soy beans, or $4 per acre more than where tankage was fed to supplement the corn hogged off. Soy beans should be planted in rows with the corn on the same day the corn is planted. The bgan planting attachment is most satisfactory but the farmer expecting to plant a few may drill the beans in the corn rows immediately after the corn is planted, setting the planter a couple of notches x so that the corn is not disturbed. Soy beans and corn help solve the problem of cheaper pork production.

Hog Men to Hold Important Session. i W. H. Pullins of the county hog production committee has issued a call for all breeders of pure-bred hogs tq meet nt ‘the Better Farming .association office in the court house ’Saturday afternoon, May 4, at 2 o'clock. Mr. Pullins wishes to present a plan of swine improvement which should be of interest to every breeder. Mr. J. C. Shanklin of Purdue is expected to be present and deliver a short talk. The number of producers of purebred swine in this county is daily I increasing. The hog production committee desires that they should | co-operate as fully as possible in making their work most successful.

Farmers’ Clubs. Tlie regular meeting of the Gillam Farmers’ club will be held at Independence church next Wednesday evening. May 4 1‘. A good program has been arranged >by the new committee in charge. The May meeting of the Parr Community club will be held at the Parr school house next Thurs-’ day evening, May 2. Prof. John Schwab of Purdue will be the principal speaker. -The North Union Farmers’- club will hold its regular meeting at Virgie Saturday evening. Ma/ f 3. President Dexter has made arrangements for an excellent program and all are invited to attend. Conservation of Machinery. The farm management committee of the Better Farming association has suggested a means of conserving the farm machinery of the countv. -Machinery is high and will doubtless go higher, yet there are many machines and Implements which have been discarded for the lack of a few repairs. Other machines lack parts which might be supplied from these implements. If, instead of selling broken machinery for junk, our farmers would advertise it in the local papers, many actual savings would result. Advertisements -for repairs wanted should also give results. Any savings which may be made in this wayare clear "velvet” for the farmers of the county and will help relieve the congested manufacturing conditions.

All Pull Together for Better Gardens. ( The horticulture committee of the Better Farming association, together with William Bringle of the county council of defense, have planned a final drive in the interests of larger and better gardens this season. \ | “There is a greater necessity for better gardens this year than last,” says A. H. iH.opkins of the garden committee. “Last year we were not required to conserve wheat, sugar and other articles so the extent that we are asked, this year, and we must have good gardens to replace these material shortages. I knew of many farmers who bought their potatoes and other vegetables last winter who could have pro*-, duced enough to supply themselves and to spare with very little extra effort. “I especially urge that all persons Who can .get a piece of ground raise at least enough of the staple vegetables to supply their own families and relieve the situation as much as possible. It will not only help win the war but it will do much to keep down living expenses in these times when food prices are so high.” When In Doubt —Eat Cheese. Economy in the diet does not always depend upon limiting the use of certain, foods, but sometimes it means the increasing of the use of foods which furnish’ nutritious materials at a low cost. Milk belongs to the latter class and the housewife would do well to study

new road so extensively that they decided to continue the macadam through • Wakeville. As a consequence, Wakeville got on the main line while Sleepy Hollow was sidetracked. —Business Chat.

its food value. Many people think of milk as only a beverage, but it is in reality a nourishing food, the 1 only real food provided by nature. There are many places where skim milk is not being uspjl as it should be, on the farms and creameries. Now, the food administration is urging for a greater use of skim milk in the manufacture of cottage cheese. It h ,j s been found out that cottage cheese is an efficient and economical substitute for meat. Each pound of cottage cheese furnishes as much protein or bodybuilding material as the same weight of most meats, and is very much j cheaper. It is also a valuable source of •» energy though not quite as high as food with fat, but this ( can be supplied by serving it with cream. It can be easily made on a ' small scale and requires no special equipment. And because of its ease in making, it is desirable to make the cheese often so that it may be eaten fresh, although if it is kept cool it will keep well for- several . days', j p Cottage cheese alone is an apetizing and nutritious dish, but it can successfully be combined with many other foods. It should be used in as many ways as possible in the diet, as in salads, desserts and sandwiches. 1 Perhaps the scarcity of meat will turn us more to cheese, a good digestible and upstanding food. It i is the belief that the dairy industry is an important one in solving the , world food question, because the dairy cow is the most economical producer of human food to be found on the farm.

Cottage Cheese Demonstration. Miss Beall, the government cheese expert from Purdue, will give only two demonstrations in Jasper county. One will be given at Rensselaer at the domestic science kitchen in the grammar building at 2 p. m. on Monday, April 29. The second will be given at the assembly room in the Rergington high school building on Tuesday, April 30, at 2 p. m. Every one come. CHICHESTER S PILLS V THE DIAMOND BRAND. A Ladies!

THE TEST OF MERI’t. Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. No better test as any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have stood this test ß and stood it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used it successfully and tells of lasting results. Read the following: , 1 Jacob R. Wilcox, retired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn't rest day e or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment-. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig's drug store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) ( On February 29. 1916, Mr. Wilcqx said: “I continue recommending Doan's I\idney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never ' failed to do good work.” I Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Wilcox had.
