our issue of the 18th of January. 1t seems
that this short article has aroused some
interest on the subject of raising fowls for
profit. If our readers will take the trouble
to make calculations and investigate the
subject, they will find our views are not
visionary. 1t is fact that the fowls and
eggs produced in the United States have
a greater money value than all the cattle
we produce.
We hope every householder in Tazewell
will try to raise double the number Of
fowls this year they did the last.

ENGLAND Has Confidence in The Power and
Efficiency of her Fleet and Says 1t Was

london. Feb. l3.-Six hundred thou
sand soldiers, well armed and equipped,
will soon be the total Of the British army
according to the address in the Commons
TODAY of George Wyndham, Parliamentary
Secretary of the War Office. There was
little or no suggestion of a consumption,
which, as he said, twas entirely unneces'
sary. in view of the activity Of recruiting
for the auxiliary forces.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman arose
and asked -
Chow much money required is due to
the present war"
MIR. Wvndham replied "Four hun
dred and twenty thousand pounds"
The Government, Mr. Wyndham then
said, was not making an appeal for money
and men in a spirit of panic. The risk
was not very much nearer than ayear ago.
but it had increased in exact proportion to
the reduction of the reduction OF the home
military defense, which suficed to Jusnly
the present demands for an increase OF the
resources for home defense.
1t was explained in lobbies OF the House
that Mr.. Wyndham meant to convey that
all the supplementary estimates asked Tor
were due to the war except e42O,OOO re-
ouired for the new scheme to close the
fiscal year of March 81.

AZ To THE VOLUNTEERS.

Mr.. Wyndham, in his address, said that
since the war began 10000 recruits had
ioined under the existing conditions, and
he pointed out, if improved facilities were
offered he anticipated that the voluntary
auxiliary forces, if their efficiency was IN
creased, would easily suffice for passive de-
fense and to garrison the seaports and
other positions. They might even be
qualified for undertaking more onerous
duties.
The Government proposed to put the
nav of the inilitia On the same scale as the
regulars and embody the whole militia
During the Spring and Summer the volun'
teer artillery would be rearmed and a
higher capitation grant would be gwen
the volunteers, coupled with the demand
for higher efficiency. A mounted infantry
volunteer corps would be formed, and the
Yeomanry would be treated on the same
broad principles. The artillery, army SER
vice corps and engineers necessary for two
additional army corps would be raised
forthwith, namely, thirty-sx field batter
les and seven horse batteries. The speaker
also said it had been decided to raise
twelve additional infantry battalons.
MIR. Wyndham said the existing cavalry
forces would also be extended by seven
regiments, and that commissions would be
offered to militia officers, to the colonies
and to the universities.
At present, the speaker further pointed
out. there were 10000 regulars in the
country, and the increase was anticipated
to be 10000. There were now 320,OOO
men in the auxiliary forces, and it was es'
tir1ated the increase would be $4,000 men,
Mr.. Wyndham referred to the Govern
ment's confidence in the power and elhcl'
ency of the fleet, saying it was nevergreat'
er or more legitimate than now. But in
case of the fear Of invasion, the garrlsoning
of the coast towns would devolve on the
auxiliary forces, as it would be the hrs'
duty of the fleet to be off the enemy's
coast, or face to face with the enemy.
Sir Charles Dixie, advanced Radical,
member for the Forest of Dean Division Of
Worcestershire, said MIR. Wynham'f
speech Seemed to support the heresy thai
Great Britain should rely upon home de-
fense, while the truth was that the most
powerful defense lay iu the striking power
of the fleet"
Lord Lansdowne, in the Lords, sait
there were about 10000 Reservists, be
tween the age of % and 45, who had served
with the colors, whom the Government
proposed to ask to join the army for veal
for home service only.

STREET NUISANCES.
The billboard One of the Most Ubiq-
uitous and Obnoxious.

The citizens Of Cleveland recently
circulated n petition protesting against
the billboard nuisance. The protest
proved to be very popular, all Of those
approached signing 1t.
The petition says that those who
have signed believe billboards to be a
distinct dCtriment' to the best inter-
ests of the community. One particular
charge leveled against the boards Is
that In winter the snow pRes up
around them and when it melts forms
Ice Oh the sidewalk, rendering the
walks dangerous to pedestrians. An
other charge is that rubbish of all
kinds accumulates behind the boards
and breeds disease germs. THE
boards says the petition, towering
high in the air, disfigure our best
streets and boulevards and merit our
most pronounced and unqualified con-
dcmnatiOn." The signers agree to use
their influence to induce merchants not
to make use of billboard advertising.

Art In Paris Slums.

What may be called the window box
movement, begun three years ago by
the parks and gardens committee OF
Paris, has grown to be quite an impor-
tant institution. In the earlier portion
Of the summer the committee distrib.
uted to Inhabitants OF the poorer dis.
tricts of the city 1920 boxes, as COM
pared with 500 in the preceding year
These boxes have been intrusted In
every case to persons living In houses
Mt less than shillings a week rental
the object being, of course, to brighten
the gloomy surroundings Of the courts
and alleys and "mean streets" The
boxes were planted with tasteful Sc
lection OF geraniums, marguerites, mas
turtiums, lobelias and tagetes. So far
the amount of care bestowed upon the
plants has been highly satisfactory.

DEFECTIVE VISION.

Eyes of School Children Should De
Periodically Inspected.
THE large number of specialized
adults seen everywhere at the present
time indicates that some common and
farreaching cause Is at work to pro.
duce defective VISION" says DR.. Eliza
NJ. MOsher in The Interchange. at
Is not needful to go beyond the home
and the school to find this cause. In
sufficient nOurishment during the
years of growth and development, bad
air In sleeping rooms and schoolrOoms,
the use of the eyes with the light d.
rectly In front of them in study at
home, hanging the head over books,
and thus producing more or less pas
sive congestion of the eye region; over
use in near work, and failure to rest
the eyes by often fixing them upon
objects far distant; bad postures in
school-these and many other condi-
tons which affect children unfavora-
bly, during school life appear to be
predisposing causes of eye defects.
"All these might be changed If par
ents and teachers and those who build
and equip schoolhouses would work
together with that object in view.
The eyes Of school children should be
tested from time to time to ascertain
their condition and needs"

MUNICIPAL DECORATION.
What New York Society Has Ac-
cOmplished In This Line.

cOmpIished In This Line.
In 1893 the Municipal Art society of
New York was founded with the
avONved object of providing adequate
sculptural and pictorial decorations
for the public buildings and parks of
the city" 1t soon proceeded to give n
practical example OF It's purposes by
causing the chief wall OF the criminal
court room to be appropriately fres-
coed by Edward Simmons. This ex-
cellent work had great effect in calling
attention to the need of adequate deco
ration of public buildings. But the ex-
penscs involved drew heavily on the
resources of the society and showed
the desirability Of n less expensive and
wider activity In other channels. Ac-
cordingly, when Incorporated, in 1893,
the object of the society was enlarged
Ito promote In every practical way the
bcnutifying of the streets and public
places of New York.
BY this provision the usefulness of
the society has been greatly increased.
Its main achievements since then have
been two public competitions, one for
the model of cast iron drinking foun-
tain suitable for erection in the public
places of New York at a cost Of $3.50.
The first prize offered was $3.50, the
second $50, the third 800. The other
competition was for bronze base to
n standard intended to rival the beauti-
full specimens in ST. Marks place, in
Venice, and to be erected at a cost of
$1,000 AS result Of these contests
satisfactory designs were adopted and
presented to the city.
The good work done by the New
York society Is all the more noteworthy
because of its comparatively small
membership, which has never exceed
ed GOO. 1t has not succeeded In join
ing together on n very large scale the
artists and laymen. This Is probably
due to the decentralized condition of
affairs In New York, where the art In
terests, being so extensive, cannot act
in unison. The greatest service of the
society is the influence of It's example
In arraying other powerful forces be-
sides itself In the service Of municipal
art.

A CASE OF GRATITUDE.
Proving That Tramps Know the
Meaning of the Word.


eve are Il queer lot when it comes
to charity" said the man who had been
looking over his pocket dictionary for
the last half hour. I'VE give a tramp
a nickel to buy food, and then because
he doesn't make S1,00O,00O the next
week and tell all the papers that he
owes everything to us we cry out that
he is ungratcful"
do you think trampS know the
meaning of the word grattIdc?' asked
the hard faced man on the opposite
seat.
"Plcnty of them, sir" was the reply.
you've encountered the grateful
tramp, have you!'
Il have; yes, sir. 1t was only last
week that a tramp died for me, and
presume there are others left like him.
Perhaps you read of the man Clark
hanged in the Columbus penitcntiary
last Tuesday. He was my tramp. Six
months ago he called at my house one
night and asked for cash. | gave him
II cents. He was much affected, and
he declared over and over agaiE that if
he could ever do anything 40 pr I'VE his
gratitude he would"
"And he found way?"
"He did. sir. | was having a lawsuit
with a neighbor over a COW and was
liable to be beaten. Hearing of the in
cident, the tramp laid for the plaintiff
and killed him with club"
"All in your interestF
"All in my interest, sir. Yes, sir; he
fixed things so that instead of losing
the case | won. When | am home,
am milking that COW twice n day with
my own hands"
But about the trampY' said the hard
faced man. "IIe was arrested, tried
and convicted for the murder, you
say?
"IIe was"
"And what did you do for himW
Nothing whatever"
"And they hung him."
"They did"
Sand didn't you at least send him a
bouquet to hold in his hand as he stood
on the drOp?'
mot even that. He wanted me to be
present at the execution, but made a
f1imsy excuse to leave town."
"And where--where was your graft
tude?" asked the hard faced man.
ooh, I'm gentleman and not expect
n tramp who must turn up that COM
modify by the carload in return for
our pennies" NJ. QUAD.

Portable Schoolhouses.

st. Louis has adopted the system Of
portable schOOlhouses that has been
tried with success In Milwaukee. The
houses are made In sections and bolted
together and are so arranged that n
foundation can be readily prepared for
them almost everywhere. They are
made of such material that they will
last for years. The idea in their use Is
to keep up with the shifting school pop
ulation of the city without having to
build new schoolhouse every time the
population changes its location.

STRIKING AT STRIKERS.
Operators Try to Expand LacIxa-

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. 2O-What Is
very likely the movement the operators
are said to be considering as means
of striking back at the strikers is the
expanding of the Lackawanna Miners
union, an independent organization of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western min

to crystalline the anti-strike sentiment
which the operators firmly believe obtains
with a majority of the men in the Lack

In the lower district will be such as to
