(By ANNA GAI.IGHER)
A large proportion Of the losses. es-
pecially among the young poultry,
could easily be prevented by the use Of
common sense and little forethought
A few years ago we lost lot of high
priced eggs because we placed the
thermometer too near the water pipes
in the incubator Instead of setting Il
on level with the eggs 1t was fast
ened to q little box. where 1t could not
be overturned. We thought it a very
clever idea at the time, but found out
too late that we had made a mistake.
Being so near the pipes. the heat
caused the thermometer to register
several degrees too high. That is, 1t
was several degrees higher than the
temperature down where the eggs
were. Only one chick Matched, and 1t
died. The eggs we're broken and ex-
amined. We found that they contained
chicks in nearly all stages Of develop
ment. This taught US a lesson that
has never been forgotten, and that
was not our last by any means. In
the poultry business 1t Is just one les
son after another; and still we don't
pretend Ito know 1t all" One never
gets too old to learn, but we never
make the same mistake twice, but try
to learn something through every mis-
take made. and that Is some consola-
ton when things 90 wrong. Whatever
the trouble is, we try to find the cause
and remove it.

properly cared for and they became
very lousy. They had been Matched

They would probably all have died

above they got very lousey and the
owner made a short job Of It by apply

all the chicks inside Of an hour or two
and 1t is not at all likely that any lics
escaped.
Now 1t was not the lard alone thai
did all this mischief, although 1t had
been applied too freely. This hap

WILSON FIGHTS
TOLL EXEMPTION
President Accepts Great Britain's
Contention in Canal Controversy.
WILL URGE A REPEAL
Wants COnbaled Provision Removed
at This Session Of Congress.

President Wilson let il be known
yesterday that he favors the RI peal at
this session of Congress Of the pro-
vision Of the Panama Canal act ex-
empting American coastwise vessels
from the payment of toll.
This was the first statement Of any
official eharact n regarding the Presi-
dent.s attitude toward the canal tolls
controversy in which Great Britain
has made such vigorous protests
against what che deemed violation
Of the Hay Psuneeforte treaty
Che President in permitting the an
ncucement TO 90 forth settled def.
nitely the reports that he will support
the pending House bill, which would
suspend the operation Of the free tolls
provision until such time as the
waterway becomes self-supporting
The President made il clear that he
will not daily with any measures de-
signed TO evade the issue either for a
period q years as provided by the
House bill or for six months as sug-
gested by Senator 0'Gorman.
The President is definitely convinced
that the exemption Of the American
vessels would constitute discrimina.
tion against the terms of the treaty.
With the merits of the issue set
tied in his mind the President will
work for the outright repeal OF the
discriminatory provision as early as
possible in the pre- sent session.
The need for action at the present
session has impressed itself on the
President because Of the fear that
postponement until the next session
might delay the repeal beyond the
opening Of the canal.
II was known more than a week ago
that the President had intimated to
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations his views upon the tolls
question.

The phenomenal popularity Of . The

that il is a radical contrast 10 the
musical productions so common on

relied upon to Offset hundred other
defects Of libretto and score.
Ii is pure and rare specimen Of
comic opera, and perfectly balanced
combination Of dramatic scenes. in
which comedy, satire and romance are
witttily blended, and Superb songs,
waltzes and marches, each typify ing
some passing mood Of the action and
each genuine bit of melody. Be rnard
Shaw's spirited romantic satire,
Arms and the Man. is the dra-
matte source Of the opera to which

duet Of his musical genius in a score
