1t is very essential to keep them of
the grass in the morning while the
dew is on. After they are allowed to
range feed them little each evening
to bring them home. Always have a
pile of air-slaked lime and grit where
they can get at it and see how eHger

home. If any of them droop look for
lice in the quill feathers Of the wing

II this trouble is not due to lice 1t is
probably caused by something they

Amusing Pastime.

At an evening party where the

hostess did not have any especial

Though riddles do our minds distress,
We'd like two good ones now to guess.
And there were two good conun'

Each guest read her card aloud be-

following are good suggestions:

MOONLIGHT Picnic,

try houses open and those who haven't
places are planning to take baskets

The properly equipped automobile
carries tea basket, and meals en-
route are quite the proper thing.
There are many picnics planned
and beach parties are popular. What
can be more delightful than just the
right place, just the right things to
eat and a perfect moon; the low muir
muir of the waves making just the &C
compartment necessary
Given six girls and six men with
couple of guitars or mandolins,
cushions and baskets to satisfy the
inner man and the result is apt to be
bliss personifled. OF course, there is
always a discreet chaperon or two
but chaperons nowadays are apt to
fall under the spell of the waves and
moonlight, too, and the saying goes
that there are more engaged couples
resulting from these beach parties
than all the formal affairs could pro
duce in year. Maybe that is why
there is such a tremendous boom up
there. for If one traces back the be-
ginning of things there is pretty apt
to be a woman In the case some

KEEPING A POULTY RECORD
knowledge Of Receipts and Expendi-
lures Is Of Great Assistance
to Chicken Raiser.
CBy r. d. SCHMIDT.A

One of the greatest needs of most
poultry keepers is definite record
of expenditures and receipts. In too
few cases does the owner of poultry
flock actually know whether his fowls
have been an expense to him or have
paid profit. This is perhaps truer
in regard to poultry than with most
other branches of animal industry,
because of the facts that both ex-
penditures and receipts are spread
over the entire year and are individ-
ually small, that large part of the
product is used at home, and that the
poultry keeping is incidental to the
other farm work

consists of substituting a wire panel
for the usual wooden panels in the

be a second panel of burlap, SO that
in the severest weather the ventila-

Grating such scheme to provide any
other outlet for foul air, although the
mir can be kept from getting foul by
daily removal of the droppings. In
summer the burlap can be readily re-
moved to permit of very free move

criminOloglsts; reviewed criminal re-
ports showing how criminals are Gre
ated by contracted habit. He stated
that the records show that so per
cent. of those sent to, the Mansfield
Reformatory afterwards land in the
penitentiary. He said that a distinc-
tion should be made between crimes
and men and between the one-time
offender and the regular. He said
that 1t did more good to reform a man
than TO punish him; that the thing
for the court to do is tnat which is
for the best interests of society He
said that too many judges did not
discriminate in imposing sentences,
but that all convicted persons were
given sentences without any distinc-
ton. He furthur stated that the para
mount object of the law is to protect
society, and That II good citizen can
be made out of bad one, that that
is the best thing to do. However, the
court should not be moved by sym
pathy, simply the welfare of society.
Judge Wickham stated that he had
had talk with Mr.. Lee and that he
was satisfied that Lee intended to
lead an entirely different and better
life If given the opportunity.
Judge Wickham said that he was
aware that there was strong feeling
among many people in the community
against Lee. He said he also knew
that he would be critised on account
of the action he had determined to
take In the case, but that Judge
should not be influenced by criticism
when it came to performing what he
conscientiously regarded as right. He
referred to some criticism in Licking
county cases, showing that the public
is often unthinking.
Judge Wickham in conclusion stat
ed that he believed that Mr.. Lee in
tends to atone for the past by lead
ing proper life, and If he does so,
society will be benefited as we'll as
the defendant in the course the court
had determined. He then directed
Lee to stand up, and addressing him

Wickham.
With tears trickling down his
cheeks, Mr.. Lee went to the judges
stand and thanked Judge Wickham,
and in this he was joined by his
father.
This brought the Lee case to a
close.
