THREE MORE STATES
LINEUP FOR WILSON

Washington March 23.-Highly
encouraging reports were received
from three western-central states, at
Wilson headquarters. Wisconsin,
Iowa and Illinois sent the cheering
news that Wilson strongly predomi-
mates among Wisconsin democrats.
The telegram said:
Sentiment for Wilson strongly
predominates among Wisconsin dem
ocrats. We recognize in him the
strongest and best candidate The
coalition of Clark and Harmon sup
porters here is supported by many
standpat republican bosses who rec
ognize Wilson as the foremost foe
man of special privilege. The peo-
pie are aroused"

IL c. 0. P. STATES
ARE AGAINST TAFT
SIX OTHERS ARE IN
DOUBTFUL COLUMN
-Four Are Believed safe for President
These Are Opinions of Governors
of Twenty-Five Normally Republic
can states.

Washington, March 2S.-There was
Il good reason why Chairman Nc
Kinley, director of the Taft campaign
abandoned his idea of calling a meet
ing of republican governors here. He
could not get together enough of
them who are for Taft to make a
respectable showing. Those who are
not openly for Roosevelt are, most
of them, uncertain of their ability to
carry their states for Taft.
There are now twenty-five states
that have republican governors.
None of these say that Roosevelt
cannot carry his state.
But
Twelve say that Taft cannot win
in their states, which have 116 ell
ectoral votes.
Six doubt that Taft can carry their
states, but do not deny that Roose-
welt can win the 60 electoral votes
in their states.

SAD END TO STUDENT JOKE.
"Hcadlcss Ghost Scarcs Victim of
Hoax Into Nervous Collapse.

Chicago.-A visit at night in his
room at the University of Chicago by
white shrouded figure which rep
resented a man whose head came off
and rolled on the floor, was so terri
gying an experience for L. d. Dunlay,
a student, that he suffered nervous
breakdown and had to be sent to his
home at Bath, Ill, according to an an
nouncement made at the university.
1t was said the hoax was arranged
by other students. Members of the
faculty are considering whether the
perpetrators should be expelled The
students explained 1t as joke. that
one of them entered Dunlap's room
wrapped in sheets stained with red
paint, and a cabbage to which was
attached a mask was used to represent
detachable head.

was spending his days in the prison
office.
One night he contrived, unnoticed,
to slip into the carpenters shed. There
he obtained possession of large
bundle of string and folding ladder.
Before effecting his escape it was
necessary for him to climb two walls
An accomplice was, however, waiting
for him outside. Thomas proceeded
to tie a weight to one end of the
string and then threw line over the
two walls.
His friend then attached thick
piece of rope to the string, and threw
it back to the prisoner, who with the
aid of this hastily extemporarizeo
ladder. climbed to a grilled window
opening on one of the prison corri'
dors. Tying the rope to the bars, nc
waited for it to be pulled taut by his
confederates. and swung himself or
to it,
Then he managed to work his way
along the rope, and, finally, scramb
ling oyerthe two walls slipped, by thu
| help of a rope, into the street, whence
a motor car conveyed him to within
a safe distance from the prison. Sine
then nothing has been heard of him

The Rev. Mr.. Kinney accused the

GIVE HENS CHANCE TO WORK
They VIII Take All Necessary Exer-
else II Given opportunity-Must
Have Something to Scratch.

It Is not necessary to compel fowls
to exercise--they will do 1t them
selves If they are given the oppor-
tunity. All they need Is good run
or scratching shed. and litter into
which has been scattered some small
grains, and they will work without
being forced to do so.
1t is absolutely necessary, however,
to give them something in which to
work, and something for which to
work. Fowls will not, as a rule, work
industriously and scratch In nothing
and be rewarded with nothing. II
they are on a range they can secure
work for themselves, but when penned
up they must be given q good scratch
ing shed and plenty OF litter to
scratch In.
The seeds which they find will not
take the place of their regular meals,
but act az portion OF the foo& and
also assist them to take the proper
exercise.

Poultry Hook.

Of the fright and injury which usual
ly occur when fowls are chased, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. The one
used by the New York experiment
station at Ithaca and described in bull
letin 284 is an improvement on the
common style. 1t differs from the
common one, first because the wire is
SO fortified and braced that 1t remains
practically rigid, and second, the
hook end is so bent that it permits
the shank of the fowl to be easily
caught and effectively held without
injury, owing to the aperture entrance
which prevents the shank from being
easily withdrawn, and the large
aperture, which gives freedom of &C
ton, while the shank is held. The
shank, however, is easily released by
the attendant. The hook is made from
a broom handle and six-foot piece Of
No. 10 steel wire, which can be easily
bent into the proper shape. The wire
is less conspicuous than the wooden
end, which attracts the fowls atten-
ton while the hook catches the shank.
The fowl Is then gently drawn from
the flock and the foot released.

BRsf LIGHT FOR THE EYES
Principle Of Concealed Lighting
Rapidly Gaining In Popularity Ito
Reckoning Features.

The principle Of Concealed light
ing is rapidly gaining way, and in
England it is predicted that within a
few years it will be almost universal
ly put into practice. It Is pointed out
that the system of putting the sources
of light in plain view is wasteful be-
cause the dazzled eye demands q
greater flooding OF the air with diff
fused illumination In order to see
clearly. When the light source is
concealed, far less intense illumina-
ton is required. In the reading
of the British Museum the artificial
illumination is only seven one-thous-
andth of daylight, at the Wooisacks in
the house of lords only six one-thous-
andths, and at the clerks desk in the
house of commons only one twelve
hundredth; yet in all these cases the
amount Of illumination is satisfactory,
because there is no "stabbing" light
from visible sources

nits more sunlight, but cannot be
used economically on wide buildings.
The tile is laid on a 3-inch founda-
ton about Is inches deep. s inches
above and 10 inches below the sur
face of the ground. This foundation
is made Of mixture of one part OF
cement to six parts of sand. The
floor of cement is not constructed un-
til the roof and walls are finished.
The door Is located in the front or
south side, and is 3x6 feet in size;

four inches lower than you wish the
top OF the roost to be. These wires
should be passed through small holes
bored in the walls at each end OF the

Then suspend the rings (RRR)

Of small wires wrapped around each

structure has been made on the other
side, the arrangement is ready for the
poles, which should be smooth sap

diameter and cut nine inches shorter
than width Of the house, so that they
may be easily taken in and out of the
rings.
Besides being vermin-proof, this
roost has the advantage of being
easily constructed and sanitary from
the fact that the roosts do not have
to be fastened to the wall, OF other
