100000 Walk
OUT IN London
City in Throes of Greatest
Industrial Crisis It Has
Faced for Years.
COAL DRIVERS QUIT.
Thousands Suffer for the Want of

Involved.
COAL DRIVERS QUIT.

London, Janu. 24.-London is to-
night in the throes of the greatest
industrial crisis the city has faced
in many years and the indications
are that the situation will become
more acute. More than 100000 are
out on strike in the dispute involv-
1g the coal building trades.
The coal men seized the phyicolo-
gical moment to strike, for the city
is in the gasp of one of the worst
cold spells in some time and thous-
ands are suffering from the coal
shortage as we'll as the inability to
transport the coal once it is receiv-
ed.
All manner of vehicles from auto.
mobiles to rerambulators are to be
requisitioned in an effort to remove
thecoail ard prevent the suffering
from becoming more serious. The
military authorities have volunteered
to aid in moving the coal and this has
somewhat facilitated matters. The
suffering is naturally greatest in the
poorer sections where the supplies of
fuel on hand are never large and in
these sections all sorts of substitu
tes are being used.
While many of the coal dealers
have granted the carriers demands,
one penny additional ton. the
strike leaders refuse to permit the
carriers to return to work until their
demands have been granted by all,
or a very large majority of the deal
ers. If the strike continues another
day many of the schools will be COM
PEELED to close Monday, owing to the
lack of fuel.
The union builders today refused
to sign an agreement offered by the
employers which provided that the
union men should undertake to
work amicably with non-union men,
under penalty of fine of five dol
lars for each offence. The refusal
threatens to throw 100000 men out of
work.

The statement says:
Neither of us ever received a dol.
lar from anybody except the United
States government in regard to the
investigation and prosecution OF
Johnson"
The federal crowd is in a panic be-
cause Lewinsohn has sent word from
his hiding place that he will return
to Chicago, if Johnson does and aid
him in prosecuting federal officials.
A new sensation was added to the
situation when it was learned that
Johnson, while under indictment
wined and dined with Lewinsohn, his
bondsman, Assistant District Attor-
ney Parkin, Charles DeWoody, head
of the Secret Service, and other fed.
eral officials.
One entertainment in particulars
chicken dinner-was given by John
son-With these guests present
shortly after he was indicted for
smuggling jewels into the country
and just before he was indicted for
violating the Mann white slave act.
The men who were then gathering
evidence against Johnson made him
their unwilling host that night, and
Lucille Cameron, the white woman
who brought the storm Of public pro-
test and prosecution upon Johnson
attended the party.
Mrs. Lewinsohn has charged that
her husband was given $4,000 by
"Sid" Nellie with which to make ar
rangement for a fine instead of jail
sentence for bucketshopping. She
said that "Sol' gave $1,000 of the
money to a federal official and kept
$4,000. In every instance she named
the officials to which she referred.

Berlin, Jan. 24.=The rumor that
Emperor Wilhelm's health had been
failing and that his physicians had
prescribed a rigorous course of out
door exercise has been denied. The
rumor originated from the fact that
the Kaiser was recently seen near
Pottsdam Palace busily engaged in
the task of chopping wood. The
Kaiser has ordered that his solicitous
friends and subjects be informed that
he is chopping wood daily merely be-
cause he enjoys this form of useful
and healthy exercise.

Chicago, Jan. PA Congressional
Investigation of the federal service in
Chicago, is to be sought as result
of the charge that Jack Johnson, the
negro heavyweight pugilist, spent

he escaped to Paris, that the famous

Nellie had divided $4,000 among fed

were fixed" for proportionate
amounts.
Mrs. "sol" Lewinsohn, wife of a

investigation because of threats she
has made to send to Jail several Off
Gals who had fleeced her husband
and Johnson.
1t is conceded generally and admit

and his aides that the grand jury in
curry is intended to close Mrs. Levin
sohn's mouth rather than to prove or
disprove the charges.
Checks have been produced and

show that Lewinsohn paid thousands
of dollars to federal officers. These
include Assistant District Attorneys
L. B. Jacobs, Harry A. Parkin and
Ben Davis and United Commissioner
Mark A. Foote, before whom all de-
PENDANTS who obtained a bond from
Lewinsohn had to appear.

STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain VIII Be Used as Long as Fowls
Are Kept on Farms-Hen Must
Have Certain Varieties.

Grain is the staple food for poultry.
will be used for that purpose as long
as fowls are kept on farms; but hens
cannot give good results on grain
alone. 1t is beneficial to them, and
will be at all times relished. but the
demands of the hen are such as to
call for a variety. In the shells of
eggs, as well as their composition, are
several forms of mineral matter and
nitrogen, which can only be partially
obtained from grain.
Even though grains carry in COM
position for a long time, hens will be
gin to refuse II, as they may be over
supplied from other sources. For this
reason they will accept a change of
food which is of itself evidence that
the best results for his hens can only
be obtained from a variety OF food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage. but must be given
as a portion of the ration only, and
not made exclusive articles of diet.
In grain the principle articles or ele-
ments required to keep hen in good
laying condition are found, and it is
for this reason that your hens may
continue TO lay for some time II only
given grain, provided they find the
other elements necessary while run
ming around the farm. But the trou-
BILE with this manner OF feeding is
that it is too uncertain.
You are taking the chance Of the
hen finding the other elements re-
quired. No hen has ever laid an egg
unless she has taken into her system
elements from the vegetable, animal
and mineral kingdoms. Grain can re-
present the vegetable kingdom, bugs
or insects. the animal. and grit or
oyster shell, the mineral. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that every hen par
take of these elements before she can
produce a single egg.

SWINE ON RAPE PASTURAGE
One Of Best Emergency Crops Grown
and Will Give Practically as Good
Results as Alfalfa.

The grower of rape should insist on
getting the Dwarf Essex, as this is the
only variety that is suitable for hog
pasture. There is summer or BIRD
seed rape found on the market which
makes a worthless pasture and should
not be used. 1t is possible that this
has been the cause of this mans
troubles, writes Turner Wright in the
Farmers Mail and Breeze.
l have used rape for several years
as pasture for both breeding and fat
:ening hogs and never experienced
any difficulty in getting them to eat it.
II hogs that are not accustomed to
rape are given no other green feed
for a few days they will soon learn to
eat and relish it even though they are
fed liberal amount of grain. 1t often
happens that hogs, after learning TO
eat rape, prefer it to clover or alfalfa
that is coarse and woody. l have often
changed hogs from alfalfa to rape and
from rape to alfalfa and could see no
difference in the way they seemed to
relish these different feeds. II the
hogs are turned on the rape when it
is from 10 to IL inches high they will
eat it more readily than if it is more
mature.
Rape is one of the best emergency
forage crops we have. A good rape
pasture will give practically as good
results as alfalfa. 1t can be sown in
feed yards and lots that are used
through the winter and thus not only
furnish pasture to take the place of
shortage of alfalfa or clover pas
ture but also provide a means of
utilizing ground that would otherwise
grow a crop OF unsighly and worth
less weeds.

THREE ESSENTIALS FOR cow
Pure Water and Air and Reasonable
Amount Of Exercise Are Needed
for Proper Development.
CBy L. NJ. BENNINGToN9

Some of the leading dairy authori
ties may argue as they may. but many
good dairymen believe that the time
is past when man with an ordinary
degree of intelligence should advocate
the practice of putting the cows in
the stable in the fall and compel them
to remain there until spring.
This practice may not prove detri
mental to the individuals during the
one generation that is so manged, but
how about the succeeding generation
and their progeny? VIII they not be
weakened?
The very first law of animal health
is pure water and pure air and rea
sonable amount of exercise. and nc
animal can be properly developed in

sentials.

Hillside Crops.

Records of crops will show that the
trees grown on the hillsides or at the
top of elevations have greater per
centage OF crop years than those in
the hollow. This condition is primarily
due to the air drainage or to differ
ence of temperature between the low
ground and that few feet higher up.
Experiments have shown that on still,
frosty nights there has been a differ
ence of 15 degrees in as many feet
between the bottom of ravine or
