strikers began today. Unmarried
Greek strikers led the return to the

the strike leaders The Greeks had
mingled unwillingly with other races,

only will occupy the camp. The en-

egatton In - automobiles met tho party
parade through the main streets of At
wood
Three speeches were made In At
wood. although but one talk was ON the
regular program. At noon the COVER
nor spoke 20 minutes to q crowd of 500
or 800 people. In the AFTERNOON the
opera house was unable to hold the
crowd and an overflow meeting was
held In the court house. Governor
Hodges spoke at both Of these meet
ings.
At noon members Of the party were
the guests Of Atwood ladies who served
a big luncheon at the town hotel.
Senator "Jimmie" Malone met tho
the party on the trip to Herndon. Sem
ator Malone's home town. Herndon
has a population Of about 500. But
nearly 1000 people heard the
speeches. A holiday had been de-
clared by Rawlins county. apparently.
farmers left their fields for tho day
and the public schools in Herndon
and neighboring districts were closed.
More "eats" were served in Hern-
don and the governors party was for
tined Tor the 22.mile jump to Oberlin.
AT Oberlfn tho campaigners ate
again. They; were dinner guests at
the home of Charles Page. recently
recommended for postmaster at
Oberlin- Then came the eighth grade
or HODGES talked to q crowd of 500
people In Oberlin's beautiful $4,000
opera house.
1t was 20 miles from Oberlin to
Dresden and q cold drizzling rain was
railing. Decatur county farmers were
happy. They Sow in the rain the
prospect for a record wheat crop. But
1t was not the best weather for cam
paigning. Yet 100 people came
through the rain to attend q morning
meeting in the Dresden town hall.
Probably $4,000 people attended
the meetings in the Fifth and Sixth
districts. The largest meeting was on
the Nebraska-Kansas state line where
Governor Moorehead of Nebraska and
Governor Hodges Of Kansas spoke to
q crowd Of 1000 at the dedication Of
the Oregon trail monument.
Considering the fact that at least
four of the counties visited have a
population OF less than 5000 each, the
attendance at tho meetings was re-
garded as unusually large. Schedule
time was maintained on the entire
trip. except Saturday. when the party
was 80 minutes late in Dresden and
two hours late in Hoxie. The Quinter
commencement exercises was the only
date on the calendar which was not
filled. There is no railway service be-
tween Hoxie and Quinter and it was
impossible to make the drive over the
heavy roads in automobiles.
A total Of s4S miles was covered
on the trip. Nearly 800 miles of the
trip through the northwest territory
was in automobiles

aged themselves by flying down from
the higher perches.
Again had to raise the floor of the
house a few inches above the sur
rounding earth, and make it of brick
rubbish tightly rammed down, with
dry earth on top. A non-sitting va
riety of chickens was selected, not
only not to be troubled with broody
hens, but also for the larger quantity
Of eggs they lay yearly.
Black Minorcas,l which were then
yet scarce, were obtained, and as my
place is well sheltered, they laid a
great number of large white eggs,
easily to be sold at good prices. Mi
norca pullets were consequently
Matched in March, April and also in
May, with their combs developing
and becoming red in the early fall
and were all good winter layers, when
eggs were scarce and dear.
In learning how to feed poultry
properly, soon discovered that it was
of the greatest Importance not to over
feed fowls, and to always keep them
supplied with fresh water and plenty
of grit, for which purpose used
broken-up oyster shells and pounded
up old mortar, and l also provided a
large box of dry earth and sand in
which the birds could clean them
selves, as that is the way they take
a bath.
In regard to food: They always
have a warm breakfast of meal, made
of equal parts of middlings and bar
ley or oat meal changed one for the
other, every alternate morning, made
into stiff paste with hot water; at
midday, cut grass when 1t could be
had, or other green stuff in season
and a few handfuls of small grain
scattered about to make them scratch;
and at roosting time always a good
feed of grain, which is wheat and oats
on alternate days. Some lean meat
finely chopped is also given as an in
centive to laying, which is my object.

JERSEY is LARGE PRODUCER
Ten Reasons Given Why That Breed
Is Most Economic for All Purposes
Also DocIIe in Disposition.

That the Jersey breed is the best for
the dairyman is given in ten reasons
by R. M. Cow in an exchange as fol-
lows:
1. The Jersey is the most economic
producer Of milk for all purposes of
dairying; that is, she will produce a
pound of butter-fat or a pound of milk
solids from less feed than any other
breeds Of dairy cow This has been
proved in competitive public tests.
2. The high percentage of fat in Jer-
sey milk and its "churnability" make
it the best for butter-making. ..
3. Its high percentage of milk solids
makes Jersey milk the best for cheese
making.
4. Owing to the high proportion Of
milk solids in Jersey milk, which fur
nishes pound of butter or of cheese
from the least quantity of milk, there
is the least amount of worthless resid-
uum, or water, to be handled.
5. The quality of Jersey milk-its
normal percentage of fat and casein-
is such as to render it most nutritious,
and it is, therefore, as human food, the
best and goes farthest.
6. The Jersey is a regular and per-

'MAePIE' EFFECT MUCH LIKED
Combination Of Black and White,
SkiIIfuIIy Draped, Is Proving
Popular for Evening Wear.

Black and white are still worn, in
spite of all that has been said to the
contrary, for evening. A dress Of
black chiffon won due need of admira-
ton. 1t had over it a most uneom-
mon tunic, consisting of three founces
of white gauze.
From these fiounces fell, as if acci-
dentally, long jet tassels. The cor
sage was of white gauze, crossed, and
finishing in wings which served as
sleeves. These wings had long points,
terminating in long jet tassels.
Around the waist was a deep jet
corselet.
A detail which is quite charming Is
to have the bust simply yelled with
white tulle, over which run chains Of
black or colored beads. A striking
effect was produced by a black and
gold skirt with a corsage of this de-
scription outlined with jet Another
corsage of white tulle had a sort Of
Indo-Chinese corselet of many-colored
beads, which had sumptuous and
strange effect.

GUEST ROOM MADE REsTFUL
One Hostess Insists on Harmony In
Color, Even to the Tint Of the
Soap Used.

A hostess who is noted for her con-
genial week end parties, which are
given all through the summer at
delightful country house out on Long
island, makes practice Of picking up
her guestroom soaps while in Paris on
shopping bent early in May. There
is something about the delicate, elu-
sive fragrance of a French soap which
no American made soap seems to emu
late, and though, of course, the French
varieties cost good deal more, the
distinction impaired to guestroom
in this manner is incontestable.
This particular hostess selects four
kinds of soap, in four colors to har-
monize with her various guestrooms,
done in rose pink, pale green, pale
buff and violet and rose. Blue this
hostess debars as too chilly and aus
tere for a bed chamber. The four
soaps selected are violet, rose cylamen
and verveine. The violet soap is in
beautiful shade of lavender, the rose
soap in pink, the cyclamen in white
and the verveine in delicate green.
Each soap has the fragrance of the
flower it typifies and on one side
of the cake is stamped the name Of
the flower.
This hostess keeps also, in each
guestroom a dainty silk kimono and
inexpensive, heelless kid boudoir slip
pers in the color of the room, SO that
the overnight or weekend guest who
brings only suitcase is provided with
a pretty negligee for breakfast in her
room.
