EGGS AND SUNDAY.

Mr.. Chaplin's profession Of fear
that it may soon be made an offense
for hens to lay eggs on Sundays was
suggested by Mr.. Handel Booths re-
mark that the bill before the house
prohibited the Sunday purchase of
new-laid eggs. 1t would have been
appropriate to recall Dean Ramsay's
story of Lady MacneiPs henwife and
her dorking fowls. Asked if they
were laying many eggs, she replied,
Indeed, my Teddy, they lay every
day, no excepting the blessed Sab
bath. London Chronicle.

WINTER QUARTERS FOR RAM
Male Of Flock Needs Sunshine, Fresh
Air and Place to Exercise,
Same as the Ewes.

There are not many farmers who
would purchase a $4,000 automobile
and let it stand out in the rain in
mudhole all winter, but there are many
who pay a high price for well-bred
ram and treat him almost as badly as
that.
How often it is that you go into
mans barn and find in a dark, stuffy,
narrow pen, way back in one corner,
the head of the flock, says Homestead.
The male of the herd, of course, should
be kept by himself, but he needs sun
shine. fresh air and place to exercise
just as much as the ewes.
The winter quarters OF ram should
be such that he can keep dry, both
overhead and under foot. At the same
time, the more fresh air the better
Even an open shed will serve II 1t is
entirely dry. A pen should certainly
not be used that Is less than 10 feet
square. and II 1t is larger so much the
better. This will give the ram an OPP
portunity to exercise and will keep him
In good, vigorous condition.
During the sumner months, when
the ram is allowed to run on pasture,
he does not need grain, but In the win
ter. II you expect to keep him in good.
vigorous condition, he must be sup
piled with grain at least a month be-
fore the breeding season.
A mixture of two parts oats and one
part bran has given unusually good re-
suits In some of the larger focks OF
the West. This ration does not pro-
duce fat. but does keep up the yigor OF
the ram.
1t is impossible to suggest the exact
amount to be fed, for this can only be
determined by watching the animal
and studying his condition.

The Rex


Mgr. Shrode, of the REX theatre.
is very proud of the compliments
paid him by the Lyceum Bureau
when they called upon him to accept
the Lyceum course this winter.
When we stop to think of the enor-
nous strides the moving picture has
made in the last two years, it will be
easily understood why Mr.. Shrode
feels so proud of his achievement. 1t
was only a few years ago that no
thought was given the quality of the
moving picture. Its only mission
was to get the nick els and dimes.
Time after time in the past, pictures
have been shown to the people of
Hopkinsville that were disgrace to
the pho oplay business in general.
The Lyceum people would no more
have thought of placing their at
fractions in a moving picture the
atre than they would have in bur-
lesque house.
The moving picture was looked up
on as a place for the amusement of
the lowest class of people. 1t was
declared by the big theatrical men to
be only a passing fancy, The big
theatre and other amusements gave
it no thought at all. To have asked
a manager of the Lyceum bureau to
place his attractions in a moving
picture theatre would have been an
insult.
But to have the management cone
to you of their own accord and offer
their attractions. in fact urge it UP
on you is enough to make Mgr.
Shrode or anyone else feel good. In
speaking of the matter the Lyceum
representative, Mr.. Whiting, made
the statement that only a few per
cent Of the theatres in this country
care enough for their patrons moral
welfare and the influence of the pho
toplays they exhibit to ever. be con-
sidered as fit place for their at.
fractions. Mr.. Shrode has every
right to feel proud and deserves the
thanks of the people of Hopkinsville
for conducting place of amusement
that is considered good enough for
the Lyceum attractions. The fact
that there will be no advance sale OF
tickets and no pledges made what.
ever speaks we'll for the success of
these attractions in this popular play
house.

supremely confident that Congress will
repeal the exemption clause at tins ses-
sion The President expresses the view
that ther. will be no serious opposition to
the repeal i'll Congress.
The President i appreciative of SEN
ator Lodges remarks in the Senate that
the United States is becoming an out
law among nations for not keeping its
treaty promises
The President declares that il seems to
b.. the universal view OF European coun-
tries that the United States is breaking
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the pres
ent Panama canal act, though no official
views to that effect had been presented
during hts administration. The President
reiterates to callers that the United
states IS i'll honor bound tc obey the
spiri, of the HayPauncefot. treaty and
denies that his inSistence on the repeal of
the exemption clause is in any way aimed
TO .'placate" Great Britain. as has been
/ reported The President thinks there i.
no necessity % "placating' Great Britain.
