When Chickens Thrive.

When the weather is fine little chick
ems can thrive almost anywhere When
the weather is bad for day or two it
does not affect them much. But when
there is continuous wet weather chick
ems outdoors usually have a very hard
time of 1t and grow very little.

Home. This has two wheels on 1t,
as shown in the illustration, and is
made in a very simple design. 1t
holds a large quantity of material,
and most anything can be hauled in
it. The wheels are wide and can be
used on soft ground. This makes it
handy for use in the garden.

As for the man, when he plays the double game,
he regards it in quite different light His heart is not
SO small that he only find in it for one object
of love. He needs sympathy and companonship, and
if these not given him in sufficient quantity by one
he rarely hestates to seek them from another

His heart is large enough and warm enough for

which appeal to his fancy also to his vanity, the

3 Intensive shallow cultivation.
8. Agitation Of the stalks by
means of brush attached to the cul-
tivator.
10. Picking up and burning the
squares that fall under wee7il com
ditons, especially during the first
thirty or forty days Of infestation.
IL. Controlling the growth of the
plant if excessive by deep and close
cultivation while the plant is young.
IL. Selecting the seed.
l3. The rotation Of crops and the
use of legumes.
It will be noted that the system,
as outlined, has a. two-fold object:
Q)To reduce the number Of weevils
and (2) to aid early maturity. The
foregoing methods may require mod
ifcation to suit the soil and climate.
Where there is too much food and a
surplus of moisture available for
cotton in any soil, common sense
dictates that these conditions should
not be increased by deep fall break
ings. We therefore advise the fol-
lowing plan under boil weevil condl-
tions on such lands:
Bum all the cotton stalks, and
after the weevils have gone into
winter quarters burn all the rubbish
in and about the field as early in the
fall as possible. In the spring, bed
on the firm ground, giving more
space between the rows. Prepare a
good seed bed before planting and
maintain ridge cultivation through
the season. The foregoing is es-
pecially for lands where, under Wee
VII conditions, there is an excess OF
plant growth.
Fifth-The lands must be well
drained and no larger area planted
than can be intensively worked.
:Sixth-All the supplies of food
and forage must be raised at home
and can be ON the lands not planted
to cotton.
Seventh-It is practically safe to
make advances in boil weevil ter
ritory if the farmer follows Govern
ment instructions.
Eighth-There should be a rigid

constantly busy, however, does not
properly attend to what she has.
Commissioner Neiil strongl ly urges
the practical elimination Of over
time for operators, and says this
can be brought about if the larger
cities will set the example. New
York city has done so, but in CHI
cago the Bell operators have about
2S per cent. Of overtime, and in New
Orleans as high as 98 per cent. A
widespread and Intelligent effort on
the part of the companies to look
after the comfort and well-being Of
its women employees was found. On
the other hand, the investigators dis
covered that the women were loyal
to the companies and enthusiastic
for their work, all of. which is de-
clared to add much to the efficiency
of the service to the public.

possibly, one colored girl. She MADE

when her husband got back from the

FACTS ABOUT TILE
PHONE GIRLS
Interesting Report Made by Bureau
of Labor.

Washington, March 17.-She is
not a. telephone girl if she is under
five fet in height. The companies
employ only girls who can reach the
top Of their switehboards and a
reasonable disah4 ce sid eways from
their positions, and the short ones
never get a chance.
Conditions existing in telephone
exchanges throughout the country
are Interestingly set forth in the
report recently sent to the senate
dealing with the Investigation made
by the bureau Of labor. The bulk
of the report deals with the women
employees there are 1910 Of them
working at the switehboards for 27
companies in 26 states, which fur
nished the data. Agents of the bu-
reau visited 73 exchanges and found
the employees, generally speaking,
we'll housed. In many cases the
girls were compelled to walk up from
one to four flights Of stairs and
more than two-thirds Of the COM
plants heard were because of the
. lack of elevators. In some cities
exacting medical or physical exami-
nations are required of applicants.
The heighth is often determined
without the applicants knowledge
by a young woman who engages the
former in conversation while she
compares the level Of the Others
eyes with that Of her own. The ad-
ditonal requirements are usually
that the applicant must have passed
the sixth or seventh grade in gram
mar school. Boston alone prefers
high school girls, but Is not always
successful in obtaining them. Girl;
are put into training schools for 9
four weeks course before they are
placed at the switchboard.
Wages for telephone girls vary
from highest monthly average OF
$36.96 in New York city to 1924
in Nashville, Tenn. In some OF the
smaller cities the average goes ever
lower, particularly in the south. The
Bell company employs 1926 wo
men operators at an average month
" wage Of $30.9l.

cannot make more than that without
injury to herself or injuring the

conclusion that the operator who
