SOME CHANGES IN THE E1ST. lilank Capsule \N as Located as Serial Number 5794 and Was Given 10.300 as Liability Number. Washington Dispatch. The surprise of the official record is the fact that the missing , number indicates by the drawing of a blank capsule as number 10,004 was locat ed as serial number 5,794. It was placed last in the master sheet and becomes liability number 10,500. Number 2,760 drawn as number 10, 498 was found to be duplicated and was stricken out. Since the largest district in th? South has less than 7,000 registrants and all numbers above the total of any particular district operated as blanks in that district, the Associated Press did not send on its southern wires any numbers above 7,000. Several variations from the official figures already have' been corrected. The complete list on changes made by the official figures is as follows: No. 411 is 5,170. It was sent as 5,107. No. -155 is 2,592. It was sent as It was sent as It was sent as It was sent as It was sent as It was sent as It was sen tas It was sent as It was sent as It was sent as 3,595.

For ten or fifteen years past, evi dence has been accumulating that sil age is even more important for beef cattle than for dairy cattle. The first experimenters with silage felt that it was necessary to feed fifteen to twenty pounds of corn to fattening steers in connection with the silage, as well as five or ten pounds of hay; they were not willing to give silage a fair chance. But now that corn has become so exceedingly high in price, they have come to see that it may be wise to depend almost altogether on silage. At both the Iowa and the Pennsylvania stations this past win ter, fattening steers were fed an av erage daily silage ration of from fifty to seventy pounds, in connection with a very limited grain ration, and with little or no dry rough feed. In the Pennsylvania experiment, the average daily grain ration was three pounds of cottonseed meal, and in the Iowa experiment 4.3 pounds of corn and two pounds of oil meal. By thro win;1: the burden on silage, it was possible with silage at $3.50 to $4 a ton, to make 100 pounds of grain, at a total feed cost of from $7 to $8. But the most astonishing thing about the whole matter is the fact that these steers finished so largely on silage, and never, at any stage of the fattening process, fed much grain, sold practically as high as steers fed very heavily on grain. In the Pennsyl vania experiments, the silage steers wj.>rc valued at $9.25 per cwt., and in the Iowa experiments at $9.45 per cwt. In both cases, the steers fed so largely on silage were given a sell ing price within 5 or 10 cents per cwt. of the steers fed a heavy grain ration. It is worthy of note, however, that the valuations were made by representatives of packing companies or commission firms on the college grounds. There is a bare chance that these gentlemen recognized the signs of the times, and desired to encour age the feeding business by thus pro fessing a willingness to pay fat cat tle priccs for steers fattened on sil age. A month or so before the close of the Iowa experiment, we had the op portunity of seeing the steers which were full fed on com, and those which were fed mostly on silage, with a light corn ration. At that time, there was m comparison in finish; the ideals o' the' packers must have changed considerably. We would feel better satisfied if these steers had been shipped to market in the usual way, and sold on their merits after they got there. Any differences in shrinkage or fill would then have ap peared. Experiments of this sort should correspond to farm conditions from beginning to end. If the packers are actually willing to pay fat cattle prices for steers finished on an average daily ration of sixty or seventy pounds of silage, to gether with two or three pounds of , corn and two or three pounds of oil meal or cottonseed meal, with possi bly a little hay or straw, the result will be a great impetus to the cattle feeding industry. The silo will then become a necessity. It hr.s been almost a necessity durimr the past five years, but if the packers continue their pres- ] \ ent attitude toward *il*ge fattened cattle, the time will soon be here when no man who has not a silo will dare venture into the fattening of steers. With silage, a hundred pounds of grain can be made for $2 or $3 less per cwt. than without silage. ? Wal lace's Farmer. "Our Stock In Trade." Recently quite a number of peo ple have called at The Herald olfice and a^ked for a copy of The Smith iield Herald, many of them expecting, that it would be gi\ to them. Now, we would be glad to give every per son a copy of the paper who wants it if we eould afford it, but we cannot. It costs money and labor and time, to say nothing of the little worries that hang out to vex and fret, to produce every issue of the paper. Every time we give away a copy we are giving away "our stock in trade." There are only two ways in which we derive any direct financial benefit from pub lishing The Smithfield Herald. One is by the sale of the paper itself. The other is by the sale of advertising space. Our subscription list is ob tained through effort and energetic work. In addition to those on our reg ular subscription list, we occasionally have an opportunity to sell a single copy of the paper. The price of the paper is one dollar and a half a year when it is subscribed for. But when it is bought by the single copy the price is five cents each. If a man was to go into Hood's drug store and call for a five-cent pencil with the expec tation that it would be given him without price, he would meet with disappointment. He sells pencils as well as many other five cent ar ticles. The Herald office sells papers at five cents each also. It is a little thing to charge for a newspaper, some people think. It is also a little thing to charge for a five-cent pencil, but no man expects the pencil to be given him. Neither should folks ex pect publishers of newspapers to give their papers away free. It is their stock in trade, and they have just as much ri^ht to charge for a single copy as they have to charge for the paper by the year. MAINE'S YONG GOVERNORS. Some Who Have Been Elected Before They Were Forty Years Old. Hon. Carl E. Milliken, governor of Maine, Friday celebrated his fortieth birthday. He was in Boston in confer ence with Brigadier General Clarence S. Edwards, commading the North eastern Department, and at the con ference details regarding the Milli ken regiment of heavy field artillery and other military matters were tak en up. Since his election in September, 1916, Governor Milliken has been ask ed hundreds of times if he were not ;the youngest governor ever elected in i Maine. While he would like to claim this honor he is unable to do so, for, while he was only thirty-nine years and two months old when he was elected, several other chief executives have been well under twoscore years when they have been chosen to con trol the affairs of the State. Hon. Albion K. Parris of Paris has the distinction of being the youngest man ever elected governor of Maine. He was chosen chief executive in i821 when he was thirty-three years old. He was inaugurated in January, 1822, and a couple of weeks after that ceremony he became thirty-four ! years of age. Four times he was re elected and he could have been gover nor the sixth time, but he declined !he honor. He retired from the gu bernatorial chair after serving more terms than any other man who has ever occupied it and was only thirty eight years of age at the time. In singular contrast to Governor Pan is was Hon. Enoch Lincoln of Portland, who was seventy-seven years old when he was elected to suc ceed Maine's youngest governor. Governor Lincoln was the oldest man to take office. Other governors who were under forty years of age when they were elected were Robert F. Dunlap of Brunswick, governor in 1834; Ed ward Kent of Bangor, governor in 1838 and 1841; John W\ Dana of Frycburg, governor in 1847; General Joshua L. Chamberlain of Brunswick, governor in 1867; Selden Connor of Augusta, governor in 1876, and Dan iel F. Davis of Corinth, governor in 1880. ? Bangor Commercial. Strange Man. Hilda ?

The large number of subscribers, more than four million, and the lurge amount subscribed, over three billion dollars, to the Liberty Loan was a splendid demonstration of the worth of a good name. For generations the United States Government bond has been a synonym for absolute se curity, because the honor of our coun try is behind it. "As pood as a Government bond'.' was as common as a term as "As pood as gold," in speak ing of securities or investments. The United States has reaped the reward from its own people for never having defaulted on an obli gation. "Our sacred honor" is no idle phrase in the United States. The tra dition of our national honor began in Washington's day when in his i first Inaugural address he said "The foundations of our national defense will be laid in the pure and immut able principles of morality," and it has been preserved through all our history. The honor of the United States is back of the Liberty Loan Bonds ami all America and all the world know that they are absolutely safe. THF FLAG WE HONOR. This fli-.g which we honor and un der which we serve is an emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no I other character than that whic h we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices whether in peace or in war. ? Wood row Wilson, President of the United States. I'a Knew Where to Look. Edith ?

He said he'd been looking you up in Brad street. ? Bos ton Transcript. The tumult and the shouting die; The captains and the kings depart; Lo, all the pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre.
