done when William S. Benton, the Brit

HAVE YOU ever stopped to think that
the feed you use has more to do with
your success in poultry raising than any
other one thing? 1t is an undisputed
fact, and the sooner our Southern Poul-
trymen realize this fact the better sue
cess they will have. This applies to the
man with a thousand chickens or more,
and also to the man that has few
hens in the back yard for home use
By proper feeding, a dozen hens should
furnish eggs enough the year round for
an ordinary family, but you can't get
the results by feeding Just any old kind
Of feed. The majority of the grocery
stores sell chicken feed at pounds for
rs cents, and usually 1t is a very In
ferior grade. We will sell and deliver
to you 10 pounds of Red Comb Feed for
rs cents, and 1t is the cleanest and best
sold on this market. We handle the
Red Comb Feeds exclusively and sell
them to you at the same price or less
than you have been paying for feed that
isn't nearly so good. Let us send you
out bag of this feed or a 10-pound
package and compare 1t with what you
are using. We deliver promptly to all

MONTH TO FILE REPORT.
Action Unlikely on Crosser Bill at
This Session.

Representative Samuel E. Winslow Of
Massachusetts, will not file minority re-
port on municipal ownership of street
railways in the District of Columbia for
at least thirty days. which means that
there is fair prospect for no action at all
at this session on the Crosser bill. Chair
man Johnson of the House District COM
nittee obtained permission late yesterday
for a months time in which to file the
minority report. and it was granted him.
Representative Raker. however asked IL
it was not an unusually long delay:
1T is said Representative johnson,
but friends of the measure are willing
for even 4 longer time if necessary
1t is quite possible that the minority
report will be in the nature of a dissent
from the favorable report filed yesterday
by Representative crosser, and will go
much more deeply into the local situation
than did the Crosser report. The bill to
authorize the Commissioners to acquire
the local street railways is a purely local
measure, while the report devotes most
of its space to an essay on the general
municipal ownership proposition.

SEEKS JONES' CONNECTION
WITH HARVESTER" TRUST
Senate Committee to Request Reserve
Board Nominee to Appear
Before It.

The Senate banking and currency COM
,nittee late yesterday afternoon decided
to request Thomas D. Jones Of Chicago,
one of the Presidents nominees as
member Of the federal reserve board, to
appear before the committee Monday
and explain his connection with the
Harvester trust" Mr.. Jones has been
a director of that corporation for some
time, and members of the committee
desire to have more light on the matter
before voting on his nomination.
The committee probably will call upon
Paul M. Warburg of New York also to
appear before the committee after the
Jones nomination has been disposed of.
Mr.. Warburg came to the United States
in 1902, and was naturalized in 1911.
Senators feel that it is unusual, at
least, to appoint a man who has been
a citizen of the United States so short
a time to position of so much i'm
portance. They feel. too, that Mr.. War
burg is a member of a firm which is
half foreign and which has large for
eian connections
The nomination of A. C. Miller of
California, Charles S. Hamlin of Massa-
chusetts and W. r. q. Harding OF
Alabama as members of the reserve
board were favorably reported to the
Senate in executive session by the bank
ing and currency committee last even
ing.
