it ready in advance, so as not to keep

and the cook turned to the larder for
the tray it wasn't there. Instantly
the cook gave the alarm. The palace
was surrounded and searched with a
fine tooth comb. Sooty footprints led
to the chimney sweeps room. The
sweep was just swallowing the last
mouthful of the imperial breakfast.
His plea that he thought 1t was

him out of Jail, but the fireman who

liberal terms from the Balkan allies
was the general opinion in official
circles today.
stories Of the collapse OF Bulgaria's
strength were borne out by informa-
tlon received here from Sofia Itself.
The whole country, men who are IA
miliar with the situation there said,
has been swept clean Of every mascu-
line human being strong enough to-
carry a rifle. One authority ex-
pressed the doubt whether another
complete company could be scraped
together.
Obviously, whatever Bulgaria plans
to accomplish in the pending cam
paign, 1t must accomplish with its
present army, 1t was pointed out, be-
cause It absolutely cannot be increas-
ed by a manwill grow weaker In
fact, henceforward.
Claims that the Servians and
! Greeks were prepared to reinforce
the Bulgarians were not taken very
seriously BY military men. Both of
them have big conquered territories
to hold. the experts argued, and will
need every man they have to do It,.
Besides. said the authorities, 1t is
now SO late in the season that the
allies could not hope to accomplish
much more before spring. and not one
Of them has the money to keep
many troops in the field all winter.
It was indicated by all the news
received from the Balkans today that
the allies and especially the Bulgar-
fans, because 1t has been upon them
that the great burden Of the war has
fallen, realize the necessity for ex-
terminating the campaign speedily.

A HEN BOARDING HOUSE?

Are you keeping brooder hens in
your flock? Many people think that
because they feed home grown feed
that all the hen produces is clear
profit. Such, however, is not the
case. At the present high price of
feed it costs from 81 to 81. so a year to
keep a hen.
All this must be returned to the
owner before the hen can produce
single cent of profit. IL it costs 81 or
more to keep hen and the average
price of eggs is 20 cents a dozen,
hen must lay five or more dozen of
eggs In order to pay for her feed.
She must produce more than this be-
fore she pays for her board. Many
hens on most farms only lay from 60
to 80 eggs per year. So this loss
must be made up in some other way,
and your len Is only a "boarder,"
and poor one at that; one that can
never pay her board bills. She is a
"dead beat, " and in order to make
up losses we will have to charge the

His successor has not yet been select
ed.
Today Prof. Cunningham enters in
to the service of the United States
Department of Agriculture as dis
trict agent for Southwest Georgia in
charge of the Boys Corn Club Move
ment.
The governemnt is devoting much
attention to the movement to awaken
al enthusiastic interest in progress
s''e agriculture among the boys
through the medium of corn clubs. In
asmuch as greater progress has been
made in this direction in Georgia than
in any other Southern state, it's in
terest in the work here is perhaps ey-
en- keener than it is elsewhere.
The appointment of Prof. Cunning
ham is an appreciation of his energy
and ability and his devotion to agri-
cultural development in this section
He assumed the chair of agriculture
at the Third District College when the
school began its career and for over
four years has been a Woodworking
and successful member of the facui-
ty. He was 10th to quit the educa-
tional work at the college, but fell
that an even broader field of useful
ness was opened to him by the tender
of the district agents position from
Washington. Not only is the wDr'A
one in which he is peculiarly interest,"
ed, but the opportunities for advance
ment are necessarily greater
Prof. Cunningham will make his
headquarters at Triton, covering
Southwest Georgia from that point.
He will encourage, stimulate and su.
pervise the Boys Corn Clubs Move
ment Under his skillful direction
there is no doubt that it's operations
will be widely extended and that it
will become very vital force in this
section.
Prof. Cunningham will prepare 4
series of articles for the Forward Edi.
ton of The TimesRecorder dealing
with agriculture in this section. He
has already prepared the articles en-
cotton and corn, and will handle the
other staple crops of Sumter and its
sister counties.
