CARE OF THE EARLY CHICKS
Food They Will Eat-AIso Need
Room and Fresh Air.


Those first-hatched chicks are not
so attractive as the fluffy babies, but
they are worth more at present, and
should be given all the nourishing
food they will eat. After a chick is
four weeks old it has a fairly good
hold on life, and will live on scant ra-
lions, but it will not thrive.
Crooked breastbones, crooked backs,
malformed combs, runts and cripples
come from chicks that are neglected.
Some breeders seem unable to raise
chicks of different ages and have
them all thrifty; they begrudge the
feed which the older chicks steal from
the younger; the young chicks are
trampled on by the older.
Unless arrangements are made for
chicks of different ages, it is best to
hatch as many as possible at one
time, Gull the weaklings, and give the
rest the food they need. Grow a few
chickens to the best they are capable
OF, rather than many fairly good
ones. If you don't believe that chick
ems need the best food, and plenty of
food, while they are growing, try six
or eight this year.
Give them all they want of va
riety Of food, plenty of room ana air,
and compare the average chicken Of
the flociA in the fall

HUERTA is NOT CANDIDATE
Approves Nomination of Gamb0a
for President of Mexico.

Mexico City - Federico Gamboa,
minister of foreign affairs, was nomi-
mated for the presidency by the Cath
olc party convention. General Eu-
genie Rascon was nominated for the
vice presidency. Both candidates are
regarded as men of high standing.
Senior Gamboa accepted the candi-
dacy. Federico Gamboa was a disci-
pie of Ignacio Mariscal, at one time
minister to the United States. He
has recognized ability as a diplomat.
He is a writer of some note and is
about so years old.
General Rascon was minister of war
under Provisional President de la Bar
ra. He is now military commander of
the district of Olaxaca. He has long
military record. According to prom
inent member of the Catholic party,
the selection of candidates was made
with the approval of General Huerta
and therefore means the elimination
of Huerta as a presidential possibility.
The Catholic party, while support
ing the present administration morally
and financially, realized the futility of
endeavoring to continue General Huer-
ia in office in face of opposition by the
United States and the consequent in
ability of the government to borrow.

AVIATOR FLYING UP COAST
Oregon Birdman Makes Safe Land
ing in Disabled Hydroplane.

Newport, Ore.-Within Is miles Of
his destination on his scheduled 100
mile fight over the waters of the Pa
cific ocean, Aviator Edward Steele, of
Marshfield, arrived here by stage,
having completed three-quarters of his
trip from Coos Bay to Yaquina Bay,
leaving his machine at Waldport,
where he made safe landing with q
disabled engine Of his hydro aeroplane.
Steele is on his way to- give exhibit
tions at Toledo, where the Lincoln
County Fair holds forth.
When over the ocean, opposite
Waldport, piece of the carbureter OF
the engine became detached and was
smashed into pieces by the propeller
blades, completely disabling the ma
chine. Steele succeeded in gliding
safely into Alsea Bay and in making a
safe landing near Waldport.
Had the accident happened little
further out over the ocean he would
have landed in the surf and undoubt-
eddy lost his machine, and, mayhap,
his life. Steele was obliged to leave
his craft at Waldport and come here
by stage to secure new carbureter
and other material necessary to repair
his hydro-aeroplane.

THOUSANDS REVIEW REMAINS
Bier of Mayor Gaynor Rests in
State in New York.

New York-In q double line that
never seemed to decrease in length, az
the day wore on, thousands Of persons
Sunday filed through the flower-filled
rotunda of the city hall and past the
body Of William j. Gaynor, lying in
state.
About fifth of the crowd were
women and children. Mayor Kline is
sued an order to keep the rotunda open
all night, if necessary, 80 that all
who came might pay their personal
tribute to the memory Of his prede-
cessor.
All Saturday night the police on
guard around the City Hall park had
difficulty in keeping the crowds NOV
ing, as many tried even at an inordi-
nately early hour to get in line to
view the body. Three policemen and
three firemen in reliefs Of q half hour
stood rigidly at attention during the
night beside the coffin, which was
draped in the Stars and Stripes and
the mayors flag, while beneath could
be seen the colors of the Union Jack,
placed there at the request Of the Gay
nor family in recognition of the cour-
tesy extended by the city Of Liver
pool.
The bier rested on the same spot
where the bodies Of many famous men
have lain in state.

LONDON BANKS FEEL ALARM
New Currency Measure Threatens
Financial Agencies.

London - Discussing the American
currency bill in its financial columns
the Daily Telegraph forecasts pos
sible invasion of the banking field here
by American bankers as a result of
the clause in the bill providing for the
establishment of branches in foreign
countries.
"This clause" says the Telegraph,
"opens up large question and one
which may become somewhat embar-
RAISING for London banks now holding
profitable agencies for New York,
Chicago and other American banks.
Any addition to the keen rivalry al
ready existing would, of course, be
unpopular in Lombard street, but the
invasion now threatened would be par
ticularly unwelcome, inasmuch as it
might be much dislocating and injur-
ious to the existing agreement.

lions would be spent at the rate of
about forty millions year for fifty
years for road maintenance. The an
nual maintenance fund proposed is
equal to 4 per cent of the construc-
ton cost
This plan contemplates that the bill
lion-dollar construction fund shall be
apportioned among the states upon
the basis of area, population, assessed
valuation and road mileage and that
the several states shall deposit in the
United States Treasury their fifty
year per cent bonds for the amount
due them and the government loan
the states the par value thereof for
road construction, the government
raising its funds by the sale of it's
fifty-year non-taxable per cent bonds.

road maintenance reduced the cost OF
hauling 80 per cent, the saving would
cover the cost Of maintenance. In my
opinion. the adoption Of my plan
would double the total value Of farms
and reduce the cost of road hauling IS
per cent.
AS plain business proposition,
expenditures on road construction and
maintenance offer larger returns on
the investment than anything else of
which am aware.
In the construction of permanent
highways, skilled supervision is very
important. An eminent railroad build
er has been quoted as saying that
there are not ten men in the United
States qualified to take charge of a
large project for highway improve
ment. Whether this be strictly true

with the excess 1 per cent interest
paid by the state to the government
over what the government pays on
it's bonds and allowing per cent in
terest compounded annually on said
excess / per cent, sinking fund is
established from which the govern
fifty years and the state is relieved
of payment of principal on it's bonds.
The government will also, under
this plan, pay to each state annually
for road maintenance an amount equal
to per cent of the amount of bonds
on deposit, provided the state ex-
ponds like amount for the same pur-
pose.
The plan provides for cooperation
between the states and federal gov
eminent, but avoids subservience OF
the state to any federal bureau. 1t
suggests the establishment of ma
tional school of highway and bridge
engineering in Washington so as to
create supply of trained specialists
from whom the states could draw for
state and district highway engineers.
In statement in support of his plan
former Senator Bourne says:
Expenditure of three billions OF
dollars by. the government and the
several states for highway improve
ment is at first thought a startling
proposition, even though the expendl-
ture be distributed over period OF
fifty years, but when we consider the
magnitude of the interests affected, II
will be seen to be wise investment

some 890,0O0,O0O acres of farms worth

or not, certain it is that there is no
adequate supply of men trained for
this important work. The American
people are about to enter upon ex-
tensive highway construction and it
behooves them to see that compe-
tent men are ready to take charge.
Establishment of national academy
Of highway and bridge engineering is
one feature of my plan. The instruc-
ton would be of technical nature,
in the academy, and part of it of a
practical nature, in the field. have
in mind two-year course for stu
dents who have already completed
courses in civil engineering, chemis-
try, etc. Two hundred graduates each
year from such an institution would
supply the need for trained supervis-
ion of highway construction"
