SIGN TREATY AT LAST
MINUTE

the state of war, was signed by Great
Britlan, France, Italy, Japan, Greece,
Rumania and Turkey.
Jugo-Slavia Refuses to Sign.
Jugoslavia announced at the last
minute her refusal to sign on the
ground that to do so would be harm-
ful to her national interests. The
treaty distributes the Ottoman debt
among countries like Jugo-Slavia
which acquired parts of the Ottoman
empire.
Jugo-Slavia maintained that she an-
nexed her former Turkish territory
as the result of the Balkan wars and
not as a consequence of the general
European of Turco-Greek wars. She
prefers, therefore, to abide by the
treaties of London an Bucharest,
Which fixed the political status of the
Balkans. She has agreed to negotiate
directly with the European powers re-
garding her possible fesponsibllity In
connection with the Turkish debt.

Slayer of Villa Seeking To Avenge Old
Wrong Is Thought
Mexico City, Mexico.—President Ob-
fegon Intimated his suspicion that
Francisco Villa’s assassination was
due to a personal feud, in a statement
given to the newspaper correspond-
ents.
"The assassins, estimated at be-
tween seven and nine, waited for
three days in a vacant house at the
corner of Benito Jaurez and Balblno
Barredo streets, from which they
opened fire. The dead were, Villa,
Trillo, Daniel Tamayo, Villa’s assis-
tant, Rosario Rosales, Villa’s chauf-
feur, and an unidentified civilian, who
unfortunately was present Two
other of Villa’s escort were wounded.

CONTENDS SOLD TOO LOW
Old Hickory Transaction To Be Set
Aside If Plea Prevails.
Washington, D. C.—Charging collu-
sion and fraud, Attorney Genearl
Daugherty asked the courts to set
aside the contract of sale under
which the federal government two
years ago disposed of the Old Hick-
ory powder plant at Jacksonville,
Tennessee, to the Nashville industrial
corporation for $'3,500,000, which cost
the government $85,000,000 during the
world war.

district court at Nashville in the
name of the attorney general, it was

mitted to stand, the rights and in-
terests of the government will be
prejudiced and the “fraud and
wrong” against the government will
result in irreparable injury and
damage.

receiver to take over, manage, con-
trol or recall the property for the

CRIMINALS KNIFE TWO GUARDS
UNARMED KEEPERS BORNE
UNDER MADMEN
Thirty-one Insane Criminals Flee To
Freedom, One Shot To Death and
Four Recaptured.
Chester, 111.—One inmate of the Illin-
ois State Hospital for the Criminal In-
sane, here was slain by guards when
'birty-one Inmates battered their way
through the bars of the Institution,
and made a break for freedom.
The delivery was effected after the
inmates had stabbed two guards.

captured, nine being at large.

the “bull pen” when the break was
made. They had been brought there

At a moment when the guards re-
laxed their vigilance, several of the
Inmates, who had secretly armed them-
selves with knives, fell upon them. As
the Illinois law forbids the guards car-
rying weapons inside the “bull pen”
they were easy victims for their assail-
ants.
A moment later more than a score
of Inmates seized chairs and benches
and began an assault upon the Iron
bars of their prison. The oai» wrnen
are three-fourths of an inch thick did
not long resist the terrific battering

black field ant is an aid to the cotton
farmer, Is the claim of Jake Bodovitz

ant makes its entry through the hole
and eats the eggs which were depos.

Some Requirements for
Right Start of Calves
The dairy calf six to eight months
old should be provided with salt. It
Is best to keep a small box In the
calf pen or stall with salt In It at
all times. The calf will then take
Just what Is needed.
More than 56 per cent of the calf*
body Is made up of water; and for
digesting the feed, regulating the body
temperature, and other body purposes
the calf needs 4 to 6 gallons of clean,
fresh water every day. So the club
boy should see that his calf has all
the water It wants and that It is wa-
tered during warm days three times.
Sunshine Is necessary for normal
growth of the calf, but like most good
things the calf can get too much;
therefore, see that your pasture has
plenty of shade to which the calf
can go to He down and chew Its cud
during the heat of the day.
When the dairy calf Is weaned from
sklmmllk, It should be eating grains
and hay well. A good legume liny,
like alfalfa, penvlne, soy bean, or les-
pedeza, should be fed. This hay Is
necessary to furnish minerals to bnild
bone, to supply protein for muscle
building, and to furnish bulk for de-
veloping large feed capacity.
During the “fly season” a liberal
use of the curry comb and brush will
help keep the hair silky and the skin
oily, both of which will tend to keep
ofT files.
Teach the calf to lead by the halter
this summer. The beRt way to do this
is to lend the calf to pasture each
morning and back to the barn at night.
Tuberculosis Introduced
Into Healthy Dairy Herd
Tuberculosis may be Introduced Into
a healthy herd by any of the follow-
ing means;
By the addition of on animal that
Is attected with the disease; there-
fore anlmnls should be purchased only
from herds known to be free from
tuberculosis, or from herds under su-
pervision for 'the eradication of the
disease.
By feeding calves with milk or other
dairy products from tuberculous cows:
this frequently occurs where the own-
er purchases mixed skim milk from
the creamery, and feeds It to his
calves without first making It safe by
boiling or pasteurization.
By showing cattle at fairs and ex-
hibitions; reports have Indicated that
numerous herds have become Infect-
ed through mingling with Infected cat-
tle at shows or by occupying Infect-
ed premises.
The shipment of animals In cars
which have recently carried diseased
cattle nnd which have not been disin-
fected properly.
Community pastures; pastures in
which tuberculous cattle are allowed
to graze are a source of danger.
In most cases the outward appear-
ance of the animal hears no relation
to the degree of Infection. The dis-
ease frequently develops so slowly
that In some cases 1$ may be months
or even longer before any Rymptoms
are shown; therefore be on the safe
side and have yonr herd tested.
Cows Require Material
for Production of Milk
To keep the summer milk checks up
to normal, the cows require a little
special attention at this time of the
year. In spite of good pastures, grass
is apt to be tough and not nearly so
appetizing as it was In May or June.
Hence the cows are going to stand
around In the shade instead of putting
«way material for milk production.
Tills all menns that the cows need a
little grain at milking time during the
late summer months and a little “Hage
too, If you have It. Green oats and
peas or green corn are very good, as
well as muny other forage crops, cut
green and fed during milking time.
Here’s a good grain mixture to be used
while the cows are on pasture:
200 lbs. cornmeal
1 SO lbs. cottonseed meal
150 lbs. ground oats
150 lbs. gluten feed
Feed the grain mixture according to
the way the cow responds. If a cow
will not respond to grain feeding In
the summer, she Isn’t worth keeping.
At the New Jersey agricultural ex-
periment station the cows are being
sprayed night and morning with a re-
liable spray that kills the files. As a
result, the cows stand better for milk-
ing and since they are not bothered
with the files they have time to eat
their grain. Furthermore, when the
milker Is swatting files snd the cow
Is switching her tall around In his fac*
he Isn't apt to take mnch Interest In
how mnch milk the cow gives.
