The prisoner was a mail carrier, and letters of some value were found on him. He explained his presence’ near the American trenches, saying he had lost his way in the dark, declared that the German soldiers did not know that the Americans were on the front or in France, the officers telling them nothing.

Paris, Oct. 27—Miss Helen Cud- ahy, daughter of Patrick Cudahy, the Milwaukee meat packer, committed suicide in mid-ocean October 19, ac- cording to the army edition of the Chicago Tribune. A friend who went to her cabin on the night of October 19, found the room empty, the porthole open and this hurriedly written note: “It is all for the’ best. Keep as much as possible from father and mother. Notify my brother, Mich- ael.” zs Search of the boat failed to reveal any further evidences of her disap- pearance, or any persons who wit- nessed the tragedy. Miss Cudahy’s body has not been recovered. Fear of submarines is believed to have been the motive for her act, the newspaper says. According to this account, Miss Cudahy, who was com- ing to France on a Red Cross mis- sion, appeared to be cheerful in the carly days of the voyage, but when the submarine zone was approached and a convoy met the sg on which she was a passenger she re- mained in her cabin. | Dollar Butter. State Dairy Commissioner G, Ben- nett predicted in a speech before the Jefferson City Commercial Club, Sat- urday, that butter will be selling for $1 a pound before the coming winter is over. “When butter went into the stor- ses last spring,’ Mr. Bennett said, “it cost about 37 cents per pound, Last year the butter went into storage at 22 cents, so you can see there will be a sharp increase this winter in price.” Mr. Bennett urged more attention to dairying in Missouri and the adop- tion of better methods. Two thou- sand more good cows in each county would mean an additional revenue of $200,000 per county, he said.

Slaughtering meat on the farm— 1, Saves the farmer money. 2. Saves freight on live animals to market and the return freight on fin- ished products. 3. Utilizes labor on the, farm at a time of the year when it is relative- ly unproductive. 4. Permits the housewife to in- crease her bit in food production and conservation, Much of the commonly practiced farm killing is wasteful in that the fat from the offal is not carefully saved. If kept clean all fat is edible That which is soiled shouldbe saved for home soap making. Cheek ‘and head meat of beeves should not be wasted. It is splendid meat for mince meat or hash meat. First and second stomachs make valuable, ed ible meat (tripe) and are not hard to clean. They can be worked up into sausages and head cheese. Every farmer can afford a bone grinder to utilize the bones for poultry aad hogs. Non-edible offal should be cooked for feed for hogs and poultry This is a better practice than feeding it raw In the Short Course in butchering and cutting and curing of meats at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture special emphasis is placed on the ceonomical handling of the meat animals under farm condi- tions. Meats cured on the farim noe have the uniform cure of the pack- ers’ meat. Much of the bacon is too salty to This is largely the faule of the farmer in not giving careful at- tention to details. Country + cured meats can be made uniform, and of a flavor and quality not attained by the packing houses, Every farm boy in Course in culture ha tunityéte learn how to cut meat properly.

BRAZIL FOR STATE OF WAR Chamber of Deputies Acknowledged Break With Germany. Rio Janerio, Oct. 24—The chamber of deputies today by an almost unani- mous vote declared that a state of war existed between Germany and- Brazil. The vote was 149 to I. The tribunes of the chamber were filled to capacity. After a debate on the opportuneness of proclaiming martial law, the president of the dip- | lomatic commission spoke in favor of a law worded as follows: A state of war between Brazil and Germany is hereby acknowledged and proclaimed. The president of the re- public is authorized to adopt the measure enunciated in his message of the 25th of October and to take all steps tending to insure national de-, fense and public security. | The virtually unanimous vote of the deputies was received with gen-| eral acclamation. President Braz immediately sanc- tioned the proclamation of a state of war with Germany. Later the senate unanimously ap- proved the proclamation of a state of war with Germany.
