evening. She was separated from her
companion, another young lady, by two
rows, and. thinking that the man next
70 her was alone, she decided to ask
him to change seats with her friend,
SO that they would not be separated.
With a sweet, demure smile, there
fore, she laid her hand lightly on the
mans arm and said:
beg your pardon, but you are
alone, are you not?"
The man, stout, red faced chap,
put his hand up to his mustache and
whispered, out of the corner of his
mouth:
Not word, kid; the wife's next to
me here"

(By III. w. JACkSON.)
When hens are used for Matching,
1t is desirable to keep them in sepa-
rate rooms, protected from disturb
ance. The room should be rat proof.
Hens should be moved at night to the
setting room, placed upon nests care
fully prepared beforehand, and given
a few infertile eggs until they have
become accustomed to the surround
ings. All setting nests should be of
the same pattern and conveniently
placed In sets Of two and three, locat-
ed around the walls Of the room in
tiers, one above the other.
From fifty to one hundred hens may
be set in one room by this method,
and If carefully handled will do as
well as II there we're only a few.
When a considerable number of hens
are setting, they should be fed and
watered in groups of six to twelve,
returned to their nests after a suf-
hcient time, and another group let of.
Except when hens are of for exercise
once day, the nests are kept closed.
The room should be darkened and, in
warm weather, kept as cool as pos
sible. Cracked corn, green feed, grit,
a crock of water and a dust bath are
all that need be provided. The sitting
hens should be busted with insect
powder or lice killer when set, and
again two or three days before hatch
ing. In cold weather, thirteen eggs
are sufficient for even large hen. In
warm weather. the number may be
increased.
When chicks are Matched in large
numbers and where non-sitting breeds
are kept, incubators are indispensable.

PRESIDENT ANSWERS:
POSITION MADE CLEAR
Declares That the Policy
Democrats Are Pursuing
Is Necessary and That
Nothing Is as Dangerous
as Uncertainty.

Washington, May 2S.-Offcers of the
National Implement and Vehicle asso-
citation, the Ohio Manufacturers asso-
citation and the Illinois Manufacturers
association called on President Wilson
today and petitioned that all legisla-
ton affecting the business world ex-
cept the trade commission bill be with
held until the trade commission could
look into the business situation and
make report on which congress might
enact laws satisfactory to manufac-
turers and employees.
After the visit the White House gave
out statement in which 1t was said
the president had told the visitors that
nothing was more dangerous for bust
ness than uncertainty, that it had be-
como evident that the policy such as
the Democrats were pursuing was alb
solutely necessary to satisfy the con-
science of the country and its percep-
ton of the prevailing conditions of
business, and that 1t was a great deal
better to do things moderately and
soberly now than to wait until more
radical forces had accumulated and it
was necessary to go much farther He
told the visitors it was his earnest de-
sire to serve, not to hinder or injure,
the business of the country, that there
was no material condition or substan-
tial reason why the business of the
country should not be in a most pros
porous and expanding condition. and
that there was abundant evidence that
the present business depression was
merely psychological.

Daniels today put before tho senats

pose of the battleships Idaho and Mis-

the United States paid for construction.
1t Is understood Greece IL negotiating
for the two battleships, which have
been in commission since 1908. Each
cost s5,850.000. Secretary Daniels ex-
poets to get about s12,o0o.00o for tho
two ships and use 1t in constructing
one dreadnought. The committee
agreed and will present the request to
the senate.
Secretary Daniels told the naval
committee that while the Idaho and
Mississippi were efficient ships for
harbor defense. they were not modern
enough to go into the line of battle.
He said he could save 100000 by
economy in other lines to add to the
$12,000,000 obtained by the sale to
make up the s14,o00,o00 needed for a
dreadnought. The United States has
