RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY

Our children and neighbors have .
great deal to do with keeping us in
the straight road.
The farmer who cannot see over the
handle of his plow will never sue
coed.
The grouchy neighbor is like a smart
ing dog. He only succeeds in makinp
himself unpopular without doing GOOD
to anybody
The man who goes singing to his
work often, unconsciously, puts good
heart into respondent neighbor.

THE GApEs and The CURE
Keep Young Chicks on CIean
Ground Where Other Fowls
Have Not Trampled.
YY S. G. MILLER.

Strictly speaking, gapes cannot be
called disease, since chicks that are
SO afflicted are in a physically perfect
condition. The trouble is caused by
small red worm, or rather by COLLECTION
of such worms, which gather in the
windpipes, and as they grow interfere
with the breathing and cause the chicks
to gasp and after awhile strangle.
The worm is the larvae of eggs de-
posited in the filth of the yards or
coops. and is Matched after being
taken into the chicks throat.
They are, when full grown. about
one inch long, and very much resem-
BILE a pale streak of blood.
Incubator chicks and those which
run on clean grassy plots, away from
the haunts of the older fowls, are never
known to have gapes, while, on the
other hand, those which run in yards
which are bare of grass. where fowls
have been kept year after year, will
almost invariably have gapes.
Just guard against the disease by
observing a few simple rules, is the
best advice. Keep all young chicks
on clean ground, away from the house,
where old fowls have not trampled
over it.
Sprinkle lime and carbolic acid over
the yard, house and walks, and see that
only fresh water and pure food are
given the chicks.
If only few chicks are affected
they may be relieved by inserting a
feather stripped to within an inch of
the tip into the windpipe and turning
it gently as it is withdrawn. The
worms will adhere to the feathers and
thus give the relief sought.
Violent sneezing will dislodge the
worms and give relief, and this may be
produced by fumes of tobacco smoke
or carbolic acid. If using tobacco,
catch the chicks and put them in
an ordinary bushel feed basket, with
any kind of an old cloth thrown over
it. Set the basket over a barrel with
both heads out and place the tobacco
on some live Goals in the bottom.
Watch the chicks carefully so that
they do not smother, but let them re-
main until they become quite dizzy
The sneezing thus produced will give
relief
When using feather hold the chick
between the knees, with back toward

thumb open the mouth, holding, the
neck well up.
The windpipe will be easy to reach
with the feather, which you have pre-
yiously arranged.
small piece of camphor the size
of pea will often give relief, as will
also an up and down pressure on the
fore part of the neck.
When the first sign of games appears
the chicks should be removed to coops
as far distant as possible from the
house and kept there until they have
passed the danger age.
If they are taken to place like tina
when first Matched there will never be
case of gapes among them

try road all the time, and it would be I
good thing if we put in some lick,
making life smoother for our weake,

FOR THE HoRsEman

Never put horse wet with rain or
sweat into stable to dry off. Rub him
dry with a big cloth.
1t is just as important to ventilate
the horse barn as the house.
Give the horses genuine rest on Sun
days and holidays by giving them extra
feed and attention.

MAY CUT DOWN 300 POLES
IN IN HIGH W AVS OF PASADENA
If City Loses Injunction Suit, VIII
Make War on Sunset Tele-
phone Company

PASADENA, April 3O.-Unless an in
junction is granted the Sunset Tele-
phone company by the superior court
the city of Pasadena is likely to begin
q, spectacular war on the company s
property here, when the decision of the
court is given some time next month.
Two years ago the city placed tax
on all the poles of the company, and
the Sunset people are fighting this on
the ground that they are an interstate
corporation and not amenable to the
provisions of a city charter. They ask
a permanent injunction, and Judge
Walter Bordwell now has the case
under advisement.
If the decision is adverse to the COM
pany the city, it is said, is determined
to have no more trifiing and to waste
no more time. Unless the Sunset en-
ployes at once begin to remove the 300
poles, or unless the company promptly
pays the tax on them, 1t is said posi-
lively that city employees will start to
work with axes and remove the Offend
ing timber from the city streets. This
they would have a right to do without
securing any further action by the
court.

ANTI-WCE CRUSADE
ON IN OCEAN PARK
Paper Hints at "Shake-Down" for
Protection Of Liquor Interests by
Police-No Complaints
Filled

OCEAN PARK, April 9O.-Under the
heading rs Vice Protected, in Ocean
Park ?" the Evening Journal this even
ing asks a number of questions regard
ing the relation of officials of the city
to the alleged graft" which the paper
says exists in various sections Of the
city. An attack on the police is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE police records of Ocean Park
do not reveal the information that the
prostitutes who now inhabit the Santa
Monica bay section have ever paid a
dollar of license here. Who gets the
revenue if the city does not? Who is
authorized to protect the social out
casts on the beach? Is it the local or
Los Angeles booze interests, or who?"
The paper alleges that there has been
a general laxity of vigilance on the
part of the police afficers and asks not
where did you get it?'' but "Who got
it?" The article states that the pub
fishers of the paper have affidaVits OF
wrongdoing on the part of certain Of
ficials and asks why there has been
nothing done to bring certain abuses
of the license privilege to an end.
The article says further:
For a period of four months the
Journal has investigated the houses of
mirth' the slot machine trust, poker
games and other graft that have been
operating here without interruption by
the authorities. The police department
of Ocean Park knows that the Journal
knows the graft that has been in
operation and who has shared in the
shake-dow
City Attorney Byron c. Hanna on
having his attention called to the story
this evening stated that he was pre-
pared to prosecute any violations of the
law and that he hoped that the pubz
fishers of the Journal would make a
complaint so that thorough investi-
cation might be had.
