| BURROS MAY FEED
US DURING WAR
: TUSCOX, Ariz., May 23.—Little,
long eared burros may be forced to
give up their lives to feed the Ameri
can people in war time. Dr. A. E.
Vinson of the University of Ari
zona, has advanced a theory to be
used in Germany and Italy as a war
food.
It is claimed that the advent of
the motor trucks and railroads has
deprived the burro of his occupation
of hauling ore from the mines to
the railroads and that these little
creatures feed on lands which might
better be used for cattle and sheep,
i These burros can be purchased for j
| $2 a head, it is claimed, and the'hide
will bring 50 cents, reducing the net I
cost of the burro to $ 1.50. In -addition |
!to the meat which can be used for!
isausage, the bones may be ground
land fed to the chickens as can the
'meat which cannot be used.

A Serious Problem Near
OMAHA WORLD-HERALD--The
demand is growing even in the high
est quarters that this Government
shall take measures similar to the
other governments engaged in war
to prevent an extortionate rise In pro
visions. It has taken such action al
ready in regard to materials for mu
nitions and let great contracts or
made arrangements for making them,
at about half the price at which those
articles are selling In the open mar
ket. Lloyd George called attention
to the blunders that the English had
been making during the last three
years. The greatest of those blunders
and the one that would have proved j
disastrous had not practically the ]
whole world joined in the war. was j
the neglect until the very last mo
ment to secure food supply. The food
supply for the population “at prices
whicli it can pay.” is just as impor-j
tant as munitions and soldiers.
