STRIKE BREAKERS PROTECTED
After that, through the control

police, strike breakers were pro-

an ordinance was passed that took
away the right of the union men to
stand in front of a saloon that sold
non-union beer, to ask any strike
breaker to leave his job, or to lol-

hundreds of their members to live

in that condition.
The next essential is proper hous
ing A hen won't lay eggs in an ice
house and though there are lots of
eggs in cold storage plants, the hens
do lot lay them there. Laying hens
must have q warm roomy house.
Artificial heat is not necessary. but
a house warm enough to prevent the
water from freezing in it is a requi-
site. l believe in lots of glass to get

facing the south is preferable.
have demonstrated the fact that |
can get eggs six weeks earlier in a
house facing the south with plenty Of
glass in the front than in a house
facing the east with little g,ass in it.
Some say that too much glass will
cause the house to be cold at night,
but I would rather have too much
glass than too little. l can prevent
the radiation of cold at night by hav
ing thick canvas curtains over the
windows.
The style of house is immaterial.
Though I prefer one with a roof slop-
ing to the north, with passageway
in the rear. To be warm ! would
build with matched lumber on the
outside, three-ply tarred paper on
both sides of the studding, and
matched lumber again on the inside.
This gives an alright space of four
inches, which is almost imprevious to
cod. Provide darkened nests, for
fowls love to hide their nests. It also
prevents egg eating. Let them out in
the scratching shed on fine days, and
on cold, damp days keep them in the
hen house. The house ought to be
roomy enough so that they could be
kept in it for several days during the
cold spell without endangering their
health.
On very cold days l would parch
some corn and give it to them warm
and feed the mash quite warm. The
object of this would be to prevent
the hens from a cessation of their
LAYING during the cold spell. for it is
much easier to keep them laying
right along than to make them COM
mence again after they have quit.
The last essential is proper care.
This consists Of keeping the premises
clean and sanitary; seeing that the
fowls are free from lice and the
house free from mites. A lousy fowl
won't lay Provide nest boxes filled
with earth, as there is no deodorizer
like mother earth. Feed the mash
and drinking water through Stats,
placing the utensils in the passage
way. They cannot then stratch filth
into the water or soil the feed with
their feet Much disease comes be-
cause fowls are compelled to eat
their own droppings with their feed.

WOODROW WILSON.

The friends of Woodrow Wilson,
president of Princeton university, who
have been booming him for the presi-
dency for the last eight years, will
be able to put down some splendid
advertising to his credit for the next
campaign. Not that President Wilson
needs any further publicity, but his
fight with the Princeton committee
regarding the Proctor gift will serve
as a splendid illustration of the sort
of man he is when it comes to having
the courage of ones convictions. The
little family rumpus over the famous
gift has leaked out and caused the
neighbors to gossip. The board of
trustees sustains President Wilson's
attitude toward the William Cooper
Proctor gift, though it makes no at
tempt to settle the issues that have
stirred up all the trouble. BY the
withdrawal of the gift, which caused
dissension because certain factions de-
clared that it had a string to it,
Princeton VIII lose about a million
dollars, but it is quite safe to say that
no matter what happens, President
Wilson will not change his position
a mite He makes up his mind like a
brakeman does long freight train on
a winters night-with prayer. And
when it is made up it stays that way.
Classed by the world as conserva-
tive. he is far. from being an old fogy.
He makes haste slowly---but he makes
haste. Princeton, under his direction,
has made great gains-and a number
of benighted brains elsewhere have
had a food of light let in on them by
his utterances. 1t doesn't make any
difference to him what people think of
what he says. His only anxiety is to be
right.
He has taken SO many honorary de-
grees that they have to invent new
ones now whenever a university de-
sires to honor him. If it hadn't been
for Bryan the democrats might have
nominated him for president two years
ago. He is about the only man in the
country-not a banker-who can shake
the fear of the hereafter before the
eyes of the American Bankers asso-
ciation-and get cheered for it.
If he had been able to plan his own
career in advance, he could not have
planned it better. he once said Born
in Staunton, Va, in 1856 of a family
of scholars, he took all the honors in
sight during his academic career and
then studied law. But he was not in
terested in the practice of law. He
wanted to know how the bottom row of
bricks in it's foundation was laid-and
ment. HIS books upon the practice
and theory of government have been
translated into a dozen languages, and
are regarded as authoritative. Some
years after he joined the faculty Of
Princeton he was selected for it's pres
idency-and that although for 100 years
the head Of Princeton had been a the
ologian.

In many homes there are chairs and
there exists the prospect of a battered

tates the taking away of furniture and
an appalling bill when it is returned.
There are some main points which are
important and productive of success
full results. Observe them carefully
when polishing furniture.
1t is conceded by the best dealers
that the highly vanished surface is
not the best form; the smooth, satin
finish, or wax finish, technically speak

there is a reversion to the eminently
good style of colonial days, and it is
not surprising that the polish is copied.
