The result 1 of their California labors will be -seen for the - first time next Wednesday when the picture, has its premiere at the Elsiftore theatre. Considering that anions the cast are singers, actors, musicians, ex truck drivers, salesmen, and work ers in many other assorted oc cupations, it Is! natural to assume that their speech would be color ful. And judging from the way tne general public has adonted such army talk as "ieeD" "GI. and "SNAFU? jto its daily lanru age, you can be sure that some of the following talk Is saine in find a- place iri i ordinary ; con ver sa u on. - i For instance! a soldier with glasses they automatically rfnh ut. Cyclops. If one soldier . is , scornful of another's story, he la-heard to ask "What are ! you buildinx. bro- Tiier? If. durinar a rehearsal, or a per formance, one of the actors blew a. line, or- danced a mis-sten or sang off-key he could be sure his fellows would dub him a "rio- talent jerk. A soldier who went out visitins ior a free meal, or even merely oor rowed cigarettes habitual! v was described as being on the schnorr." Research has tracked down the orisin of this exnression toie low-German phrase "sch- norrer, meaning "beggar. To come to the noint of a dis cussion is called "to put the zineer in it.'" A sloppy soldier, whether on the stage or on the drill field. mey called a "GI creep. Once a month, that' hallowed occasion w h e h' the soldiers are paid was - affectionately termed "tapping the Uncle's tUL The adverb nafairallv, snort en ed, by universal Usuage,. to tne more concise "natch."

"For: this par ticular purpose the dairy cow leads all otherj domestic animals" states Milton Hult president of the National Dairy council. ' Dairy cows combine nominal amounts of grain s with pasture, hay, silage and other rouehaees to produce a maximum amount of human food. Most of the feeds consumed by dairy cows cannot be utilized by humans. For additional concentrates above the minimum requirements, the United States department of agriculture reports that dairy cows will produce almost twice as much protein' for - the same amount of gram as win hogs.-Thajc will pro duce more . than ' twice. "as much protein for human foods as will sheep, about four; times as much as will beef cattle and substan tially more than poultry. In total caloric value the dairy! cow pro duces as much ior more than any other: domestic! animals. V T. C. Woodward of the bureau of dairying. United States denart ment of agriculture,- points : out that in the light of these facts it is Important that attention be given to the utilization of feed in producing ; adequate Quantities of milk. . It may be necessary to use less grams in finishing prime Deeyes and heavy hogs. Evangelical Church Reelects Willard JENNINGS LODGE.
