MAY % IS THE DATE NAMED
All Poultry Raisers Should
Sell. Kill Or Conflne
The BOOSTERS.
CHICKEN KEEPERS READ THIS

We publish below a communica-
ton from Mr.. Hickey, State Agent
in Poultry Club Work
Because ROSTERS are allowed to
run with laying hens during warm
weather, SIS, 1000 worth of eggs
are lost to the farmers throughout
the United States each year; and
most of this loss occurs during June,
July and August For this reason
raisers of poultry are earnestly ask
ed and urged to kill or sell all ma
tured males or confine them in pens
away from the laying hens during
the summer. Eggs that are laid by
hens not mated are sterile or infer
tile. and do not decay. The fertil-
lied eggs spoil very quickly when
subjected to the influence of heat,
and If they are left too long in the
nests or under broody hens or are
left in any warm place, the germ
cells begin to develop and the chicks
begin to grow. These growing cells
may die at any stage of develop
ment due to unfavorable conditions.
Whether the embryo dies or not.
the. egg is useless as food and is UNI
fit for market. If the wives of. the
much money they practically lose by
allowing the rOosters to run with
the layers, they would Immediately
stop the practice. Not one egg more
is, produced with h male running
with flock of hens than without
one, and unless the roosters are val
liable as breeders, it Is far better to
dispose of them at the end of the
breeding season and replace them
with the younger stock the follow
ing spring. If We follow this plan
We can always have good. strong,
vigorous cockerels (young roosters)
for breeders, and at the same fine
get rid of the care of non-producers.
Let us at least make the most of
what We possess.
In order to have concerted action
in this matter the Poultry Depart
ment of the United States Govern
ment has designated the 23d day of
May to be known among poultry
raisers as Rooster Day. Then
kill, sell or confine the rooster
Note-The well known poultry
buyers who are members of the
Southern Poultry and Egg Shippers
Association have agreed to pay a
higher price for ROSTERS ON that
day.

VILLA VIOLATED AGREEMENT
And the Motion Picture Man
Then Called Him Sharply
To Time.
FIGHTS ARE STAGED TO ORDER

Washington, May ia story
has just reached Washington about
the activities in Villas army of "a
moving picture operator who is rep
resented as a marvel in his line. Ac-
cording to reports, received the NOV
ing picture operator fought his way
into the good graces of Villa and
now it is said the two are close
friends, the movie man having full
permission to take films and the
rebel general reaping a rich harvest
out of the concession.
The moving picture operator is
said to play an important role in the
councils of war held preceding en-
gagements in which villa COM
mands. When the operator first at
tached himself to the rebel army
he found it difficult to convince Villa
that he and his business should have
consideration. villa was willing
from the beginning to permit the
operator to make reels. but the
movie man was not satisfied.
villa and the operator came near
having a rough. and tumble fight a
few days before Torreon was at
tackled. The rebels were about to,
make an attack on Gomez Palacio.
Villa planned this engagement for
the night time. When this infor-
nation came to the ears of the pic
ture man he ran amuck in the rebel
camp. He was at once admitted to
the presence of the commanding
general.
There was showdown between
the operator and Villa. The picture
man In language said to have been
very violent, told Villa that the time
had arrived for somebody to get off
and that speaking for himself he
had no intention OF getting off at
that moment. He told Villa that
good moving pictures could be made
only in daylight and he wanted to
know why the commanding general
had deliberately planned to stage
what might prove to be the princi-
pal engagement of the war, after
shutdown.
Villa commanded the operator to
hold his peace, threatening punish
ment, but the movie man, who is
represented as person of explosive
temper, proceeded The upshot of
the affair, 1t is said, was that the
operator had his way and an agree
ment was reached that whenever
possible Villa should stage his bat
ties in the day time under condi-
lions favorable for the making of
moving pictures

Is To Be Americas Com
mand To Huerta.
May Recognize Belligerency
Of Rebels Huerta Must
Explain Two Deaths.
rAMpICo NOW HELD by REBELS

Washington, MAY 16.-These sig
nificant developments occurred In
the Mexican crisis to-day
The State Department indicated
that it will make no terms with
Huerta--in other words, no CON
ditionaf' retirement will be accepta-
bic to the United States.
The State Department also said
that the action of the British Admir-
al, Sir Christopher Cradock. and his
entiye staff in making formal call
on the Constitutional, General Con
zales may be regarded as a recogni-
ton by Great Britain of the bellig-
erency of the Constitutipnalists. A
similar step on the part of the United
States is expected in a few days.
The failure of Huerta to explain
the fate of Correspondent Doster
and Private Parks has brought about
a situation SO acute that orders for
the embarkation of more troops at
Galveston for Vera Cruz are expect
ed at any moment.
The opinion of the Administration
is that Huerta is in no position to
dictate terms to anybody He must
get out. and in getting out must
sever his connection entirely with
the administration of Mexico's
affairs.
The belief of TIE President and his
most capable adyiserslis that Huerta
will hold on little longer and that
he already has made his arrange
ments to leave Mexico.
General Huerta's three >represen-
tatives to the mediation conference,
to open at Niagara Falls, Canada,
next Wednesday, arrived here to-day
direct from Mexico City. They are
clothed with plenary powers.
Meanwhile the urgent represen
tations made by President, Wilson
and Secretary Bryan to the Huerta
Government. through the brazilian
Minister at Mexico City as to the re-
ported execution of Private Samuel
Parks, who strayed through the Mex
lean lines. was partly relieved by a
message from Mexican Foreign
Minister Ruiz to the Spanish Am
ibassador. Mr.. Riano. stating that the
Parks incident would be Immediately
Investigated. Beyond this Secretary
Bryan had no information on Parks
disappearance.
Both the Brazilian Minister at
Mexico City and General Funston, at
