 No matter when you start in the poultry business, remember that you should always start with the best. If you have not enough money to buy many fowls buy only q pair and get the best you can and remember fur ther that next years produce may~not even be as good as those you start with. It takes years of experience to master the art of raising fine poultry, and 1t is only after we have success fully studied the problem well that we can successfully mate our fowls year after year and show a constant im- provement. at the end of each season.

PRESIDENT TALKS
TO LABOR LEADERS
White House Conference Brings
Out Administrations
Friendliness
Roosevelt Probably Will Send a
Special Labor Message
to Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Further
conferences at the White House today
between the president and the men who
are prominent in labor matters made
the attitude of the administration to-
ward proposed labor legislation sub
ject of keen discussion in Washington
tonight. Among those who saw the
president today were Charles p. Neill
commissioner of labor; United States
Attorney Henry L. Stimson of New
York; Edward ]. Gavan of New York
attorney for the labor unions. and
Charles H. Sheriff., an attorney of
New York, all of whom attended the
labor dinner at the White House Tues
day evening.
authority that the object of the presi-
dent in giving dinner to friends of
labor and in holding the subsequent
conferences was primarily to bring
about better understanding between
representatives. of the government and
labor leaders and to impress upon the
labor interests of the country the dis
position of the administration to re-
ceive its representatives in conference
on an equality with all Others The
desire of the president, it was ex-
planned, was to have the laboring man
feel that he has the right to present
HIS grievances ana ueHlduuS dhu ~
demonstrate that neither the labor
leader nor the millionaire need come to
the back door of the White House at
midnight in order to have conference
with the president"
While the president believed that
this attitude of the administrationsha had
been demonstrated when the labor
leaders of Butte, Mont, were enter
tanned at the White House, it is ex-
planned that ne desired, before he re-
tired from office to make this disposl-
tion of authority even more evident
The reason members of the supreme
court of the United States and execu-
tive officials were invited to be pres
sent was merely to enable them to
learn from the leaders direct what they
regard as their needs.
The occasion is said to have afforded
a free exchange of ideas and to have
been of illuminating value" to the
president.
While he may not adopt a labor pro-
gram at the close of his administration
lest he might thereby embarrass his
successor, it is. believed he will set
forth his views on the needs of labor
either in his annual message to con-
gress or in a special labor message
submitted subsequently.
The various conferences of the past
two days are said to have brought out
more plainly than ever before the de-
sire of the labor interests to eliminate
lawsuits in collecting damages under
the employers liability law. 1t has
been found, the labor leaders claim.
that the lawsuits result in benefit 70
