The food question is as vital as the

THE ONLY QUESTION.

The Pueblo Chieftain tells a simple
story that Is worth while repeating.
Pueblo, at one time had fire chief,
McCartin. who was very efficient An
other efficient chief was put out OF Of
flee 10 make room for McCartin, when
the Democrats were victorious in the
municipal election. He turned out to
be a better FIRE nghter and organizer
than most people expected. and he did
not prove TO be As much OF a politician
as the Democratic bosses hoped he
would be. on the contrary. so fas as
was sin his power under the system. he
kept politics out Of the fre depart
nent and maintained II ~ the highest
stage OF efficiency possible under the
circumstances But Of course, being a
Democrat, he could not expect 10 re-
tain his position when there was
change IN the party I'm power. and 90
when the Republicans won the election
last spring chief McCartin was put out
and a new man was in.
Now comes Colorado Springs. where
the people are strongly Republican on
national issues but non-psrtisan loo
ally. and engages McCartin, Demo-
crat. to nm the office Of fire chief there.
Doubtless. the Chieftain observes.
there are a good many people in Col
orado Springs. as IN PUEBLO, who
stll hold 20 the old idea that In
Republican city the fire chief and the
hromen should be Republicans, and
that no Republican should hold a city
office when Democrats win elections.
But that idea Is rapidly losing ground.
And Is that not right? Is II not true
that when a mans house is burning
the question IS not: where Is there
Democratic FIRE corpse" or, where Is
the Republican chief7' but, where are
the men who are capable Of extlnguish-
ing the flames? II that is the all-im-
portant question at the critical
moment, why should Il not be equally
important al the time Of election2

THEIR PLACE OF MEETING

Dean Meant.

The lady dean of a well-knOwn

trance of the assembly room and
stood in groups on the stairs instead
of dispensing at once, resolved to in
stitute a reform. So at the regular
chapel service n morning h arose
with much dignity and made the fol-
lowing remarks:
Il have noticed a growing tendency
among you young women to linger
about the chapel Sunday mornings,
blocking the halls and stairs. Here
after the following order will be pre-
served in leaving chapel: First the
president will pass away. Then will
pass away. Then the faculty members
will pass away, and finally the stu
lent body by classes will pass away
and we will all meet below

They painted their faces and lips, as

the old fashioned n~ondescript turkeys
are small, no more prolific than pure
breeds and one could feel no pride 10
them. Pure-bred stock Of any kind
pays from many standpoints. No MAJ
can do the justice to an animal which
does no credit to his care that hs
does to one bred along strict lines
which assure beauty and utility, be-
their ancestors on both sides
were bred and reared for these same
results.
Turkey eggs usually hatch we'll. A
turkey hen is tractable enough during
the nesting season if you know how
to coax her, but when the baby birds
are Matched she seems to lose her
senses. She should be caught care
fully while on the nest and the poults
secured. They will attempt to hide,
and it is often difficult to find them.
No hard-and-fast rules for feeding
young turkeys can be depended upon,
but don't feed too much.
The turkey crop is very valuable,
as so much is clear profit. The young
er hen turkeys with less than a month
of heavy feed are fat and toothsOme
at Thanksgiving, while the toms may
be disposed of at Christmas to good
advantage, having required more time
and food to round out their larger
frames. After the first six weeks the
focks will care for themselves, though
it is wise to see them every day to
coax them home to roost and to keep
them tame and accustomed to their
caretaker's voice. A light feed Of
soaked bread or sour milk curd every
day accomplishes these results easily.
If a clear call, never used except for
the turks, is used as a signal to them,
it is often hard to find them.

LARGE PROFIT IN TURKEYS

Much That Is Clear Profit

While it is not probable that n
successful breeder is ever quite salts
fed with his stock, it is usually true
that he regards his own breeds as the
best. An experience of II years in
breeding has convinced me that Slate
turkeys are the most interesting as
well as well as the most profitable
for me, writes a correspondent of the
Ohio Farmer. The spring-hatched
toms attain a weight of % to 25
pounds alive at Christmas time, and
the dressed carcass, when fat and In
