public schools, in churches, in

NEVER TELL A LIE" has
been the subject of frequent SER
mons, and the sermons have
helped to establish the principle
that it is better to tell the truth
than it is to tell a lie.
What few business men there
were in this country ITO years
ago did some very STRAIGHT,
although very crude, advertis-
ing.
Later on, some of the younger
merchants (who thought the old
fellows were not progressive
enough) commenced to do what
they thought was MORE MOD
ERN ADVERTISING, that is,
they tried to attract people by
making glaring announcements
that were not wholly based on
fact.
This sort of advertising
reached its climax when one p.
T. Barnum came to the front.
He had many imitators for a
number of years, and has few
now, but it is satisfactory to
note that the modern merchant
is adopting the PRINCIPLES Of
our forefathers and is giving the
public truthful advertising.
The UP-T0-DATE THINK
ING MERCHANT is paraphras-
ing the motto that has been at
tached to Washington's name in
this way
T WILL NOT LIE"
And he is wise because no
body attaches any Importance to
q man or a business not
BACKED UP by truth and the
square deal.

II pays to raise chickens in the
city. There's no doubt about 1t.
For long II was the generally &C.
cepted theory that hen needed about
I60 acres In which TO roam and
scratch, and that big barn-like
house was NEEDED for just medium
sized flock to roost.
Wrong. One well.tested system gets
excellent results both in eggs and
meat by combining chickens In very
close quarters. In little backwards
OF city lots a flock OF hens will grow
and lay and fatten for the market
or your table just as II they were on
the farm.
II the largest plot you can give to
chickens Is only eight feet by four,
that will do for half-dozen hens and
rooster, and with right care you
ought to get so dozen OF eggs year.
Multiply that by more space aud
more hens and see how IL Will cut
down your cost OF living. Also 1t VIII
make you free OF the cold storage pro-
duct, and what Ia almost as good TO
the city man. the larger the produc-
ton of eggs and poultry the less the
demand for pork, beef and mutton,
and correspondingly lower prices Tor
all meats.
Any one who has tried 1t will tell
you that it's mighty nice to go out
to the nests In your own backyard
and get some hne fresh eggs, eggs
that are eggs!
Maybe the Riddles won't like those
fresh eggs! Maybe they won't take
to those chickens. And maybe the
wife won't enjoy the baby chicks and
the fuzzy grown up brood!
| In succeeding articles a study OF
| the chicken raising business will be
made from the standpoint OF the in
6ividual who wants to raise them in
the limited space most city people
have.
! Now, before you decide upon any
plan or anything in connection with
chicken raising, let this sink deep In
to your Uranium: Don't have scrub
chickens around the place. Get good
chickens, good breds. or course, that
will cost q little more to begin with,
but they will pay and pay well. while
with scrubs you will make failure
nine times out OF ten.
There are many god breds OF chick
ems Many poultry fanciers like the
Ieghorn best, and both white and
brown Leshorns have their advocates
They say that the Beghorn 10 the best
layer and that being small they re
quire less rom, less food. and pro
duce more eggs in a year than any
other bred But there isn't much
flesh on the Leghorn and as many
people like q chicken dinner once In
while, a larger fowl is better.

looking for orders from the man who
was willing to take all the response
bility.
What lonely sad man was Lin
colnl On his lanky shoulders he took
the burdens OF the nation. Kill! II
must be done! Soak the soil In human
blood, for II is done for humanity 8
sake. I will take the responsibility.
That was the attitude of the great
Lincoln.
How we common mortals shrink
from responsibility.
Il have money" says the well-to
do citizen. What shall do with itT
He might start business or build
q railroad. But he breads the respon
sibility. Along comes a Hill.
"Give me your money" he says
"I1l take the responsibility. I'll build
the railroad
And the citizen gladly turns over
his money. The bonds which are Is
sued by the great corporations OF this
country might form q gigantic monu
ment, dedicated to The Dread OF Re
sponsibility."
The everyday man says: I'm max
ing a good wage. I'm responsible tc
my family. ought to save my
money
But he doesn't. One day alone
comes life insurance agent.
Pay me so much money" says the
agent, "and my company will take the
responsibility Of caring for your fam
lily when you are no longer able tc
do so. Well make you save"
Gladly the everyday man shifts the
responsibility. Every month, because
he must do It. he pays his assessment
He Is In the hands Of the company
No longer the responsibility rests or
his shoulders.
The life insurance companies are
monuments to "The Dread OF Re
sponsibility"
+ The world gives its best, not tc
the shrewdest thinkers, not to the
hardest fighters, not to the greatest In
ventors, but to the man who says tC
the thinkers, the fighters, the inven
tors: You do thus and so. I'll take
the responsibility. I'll answer all the
claims"
That was the secret Of the great
ness of George Washington. That IL
why we call him today The Father
of His Country" He stood alone ant
bore the entire burden.

HOW TO RAISE CHICKENS
THE TIMES CACKLE CLASS
LESSON IA START IN HEN BUSINESS

For meat alone the Brahmas are
good. For good. all-round layers and
meat producers. Orpingtons. Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes and Rhode Island
Reds each have their admirers. Per-
sonally, like the Orpington best.
It's a big chicken, lays well during
the cold weather, can accommodate
itself to limited space.
Anyway, whatever breed you Sc
lect, the big part OF chicken raising
comes afterwards. For the novice IL
would be best IL he starts small.
Every expert poultry raiser viii
preach that to you day and night. And
there's q reason. You must get prac-
tical experience. must have your fall
ures and successes before you can
think OF making money on q large
chicken farm.
One other thing to remember Is
when you start with particular
breed, stick to that breed. II they
don't come up to snuff as layers,
change the strain, but keep TO the
breed of which you have already
learned something. More will be said
about layers In later articles.
Before you get the chickens get the
house for them to live In. The size
of that depends altogether upon the
size of the flock you will want to
keep. and upon the space at your dis
posal.
The main things to be remember
ed In building chicken houses are
these: They must be dry, well-ycnti-
lated, both winter and summer, end
room enough for each fowl; roosts
need not be more than Is inches from
the floor; plenty OF light Is also neces-
sary.
Every efrotr must be made to pre-
vent drafts, therefore place the roosts
near the back OF the house, and ex-
cept on real cold nights burlap COW
erings for doors and windows are
enough. Fresh air can get through
while drafts cannot.
The house need not be expensive.
A boy handy with hammer and saw
ought to be able TO put up good one.
| Rough wire netting can be used to
enclose a runway where the chick
| ems can have their needed exercise
Now having built the house and de-
cided upon the breed. the next thing
! Is to begin. This you can do with
eggs, young chicks. or with hens.
II you decide to buy young chicks
the problem of incubation Is removed.
but II you intend to KEEP that chicken
house in active operation for years
you will find II to your interests to
learn how TO hatch your own chicks.
In tomorrow's Times the writer will
discuss natural and artificial incuba-
ton: matings. and how to get the
/ best layers.

Here are my shoulders. Lay your
burdens on them"
When any man says this sincerely
to his fellows he Immediately becomes
great, with true greatness.
The word responsible" contains
the secret OF human or divine great
ness Think Of this definition OF It.:
Able to answer any claim. Able
to discharge any claim or duty.
All the great men Of history have
attained their greatness through be-
ing willing to take responsibility. Or
binary mortals dread responsibility.
They flock to the man who says:
Give your affairs into my hands.
/ will be responsible"
There were plenty Of Israel Put
mans and Ethan Aliens and Paul Re
veres In Washington's time. They
were desperately brave men, but
Washington lowered above them all,
because he was willing to take the
responsibility for the entire reyolu-
ton. These brave men could fight
like devils when Washington, the
man who took the responsibility, told
them to fight.
Washington was a lonely man, az
all great men must be. He was a sad
man, as all great men must be, be-
cause OF their very loneliness. A man
who takes responsibility cannot share
Il with mankind. He must take II
alone; when he divides his response
bility with his fellowmen he loses his
greatness.
"I, alone, take the responsibility,
must be his motto.
81 will face this King George" says
Washington. XIII his soldiers.
Tear down his flags. Repudiate his
monarchy. I will take the blame. ]
will answer to any claim"
And alone, amid the trees Of Valley
Forge, with his army freezing, hungry
and penniless, he almost lost his cour-
age. He fell on his knees before One,
higher than man, with Whom even
a great man may share responsibility
and not lose greatness.
A Napoleon says to the armies OF
France: II shall conquer the world.
Fight, kill, slay. burn-I will take the
responsibility. will answer to man
and God"
And. surrounded by his fellowmen,
he was alone. To him and from him
