that Governor Glynn depose Mr.. Bald

other reasons that Mr.. Baldwin, to-

for Edward NJ. Grout, who was asso-

stands at present:
San Francisco, Cal, December p, 10.
Between six and eight months ago it
was rumored that the Prohibitionists
would endeavor to put the proposition
for statewide Prohibition on the bal
lot for the decision of the voters in
November, 1914 A convention was
called by the Anti-Saloon League last
June which met in San Francisco, rep
resenting the forty-eight counties of
our jurisdiction. The purpose of the
convention was to adopt a program
and policy to guide the temperance
forces for the next few years. This
convention by unanimous vote de-
clared it was unwise to initiate move
ment for statewide Prohibition as
early as 1914, because less than TWEEN
ty-hve per cent of our population is
living in no-license territory.
Since this convention, the Methodist
Episcopal church, the Presbyterian
church, the Methodist Episcopal
church South, the United Presbyterian
church, the Baptist church and the
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion of Central and Northern California
have met in annual session and offici-
ally declared it their judgment that it
was unwise to start the campaign as
early a. 1914.

ton which met in that city November
10, and they by an overwhelming vote
decided to initiate the campaign to
place statewide Prohibition upon the
ballot in 1914. The Anti-Saloon
League of Southern California as we'll
as the Anti-Saloon League of
Central and Northern California
protested against this premature &C
ton. Our headquarters committee
met and decided that we would
take no part in initiating the campaign
| am satisfied, however, that the Pro
hibitionists will secure sufficient
number of signatures to place the
proposition upon the ballot We will
know definitely within a week or ten
days.
If it goes on the ballot | feel per-
sonally that the Anti-Saloon League
will endorse Prohibition at the polls,
and our League will do all possible to
roll up a large vote for the measure.
Though we think it unwise and haz-
ardous to begin the campaign in view
of the many other important issues
involved, the League will have no
part in dividing the temperance forces
and will d, all it can to unite them for
the great cause of Prohibition.

San Francisco, Cal, January 8
There is curious mix-up in California
over the movement for statewide
Prohibition for this state. The Pro-
hibition idea has been spreading rap
idly, particularly in the southern part
of the state. The local government
idea in California is also very strong
and finds its expression in the large
powers given to the counties in the
management of local affairs. The
counties, in a way, are diminutive
states.
The Anti-Saloon League has been
pushing the local Prohibition idea and
widening the existing Prohibition area
with the view of conducting cam
paign for statewide Prohibition as
soon as the sentiment became suffi-
GENTLY strong to present a fighting
chance for success.
But the radical drys could not wait
for this. They proposed to initiate a
statewide campaign Immediately un.
der the initiative and referendum, pre-
cipitating vote this year. They can
do this as they can doubtless get suf
ficient signatures to the petitions to
submit. Curiously enough, some of
the liquor men in the northern part of
the state are actually assisting in Sc
curing the signatures on the theory
that if statewide fight is precipitated
this year, before the drys are really
ready for it, that the liquor men will be
able to bury it so deep with adverse
votes that they will postpone the real
contest for many years to come.

of the Central and Northern Califor-

BABY CHICKS IN
THEIR OWN CLASS
Gain 26 Times Original Weight
in About Twelve
Weeks

OF all our domestic animals bab,
chicks stand in a class by themselves
in respect to their rapidity of growth.
Chicks when hatched weigh about one
and one-half ounces each, and they
can be made to weigh 212 pounds, or
40 ounces apiece, when twelve weeks
old. This is an increase of slightly
more than 26 times the original
weight in twelve weeks. In other
words, during the first twelve weeks
of its life a little chick averages to
increase in weight each week more
than double its original weight.
The fact that a chick doubles its
original weight in about six days gives
some very valuable information as 20
what it should be fed. 1t has been
proved that in the case of animals
that suckle their young, that the com
position of the mothers milk varies
directly, according to the length of
time required for the young to double
its original weight. The more quickly
the young animal doubles this weight.
the more protein and ash constituent
it receives in it's rations. In fact, this
might naturally be expected to be the
case, for if the body of an animal is
to be built up quickly it stands to rea-
son that the ration should be concen-
trated and contain an abundance of
protein to form flesh, the ash constitu-
ents to form bone.

THREE ENEMIES Of
THE NATIONAL BIRD
Overlooking, Dampness and Lice
Are Turkeys Worst

The three worst enemies OF little
turkeys are lice, overfeeding and
dampness.
Successfully combat these and n
fine flock is almost sure to result. If
the J ooding hen and nest can be kept
free from lice before Matching time
the battle is half won. Dust the nest

and dust the hen each week. sitting
the powder well through the feathers
Many turkey raisers ask the ques-
ton: "Why do my turkeys die when
about the size of pigeons? They grow
and seem fine until then. but | lose
sometimes half my flock at that time"
In some cases it may be blackhead,
and that is a bad disease to combat.
The Other Enemies
But there are other enemies to
young turkeys. and many are sacri-
feed to causes less hard to fight over
feeding is one, bringing on Indigestion,
diarrhoea, liver trouble, etc. Little
turkeys must be kept hungry and
moving about exercise is very essen
tial, and they will not exercise IL err
fed and pampered They need plenty
of SHARP grit, and plenty of fresh wa
ter in clean dishes. A disinfectant
may be added, carbolic acid is Nod
for the bowels, and is used in the
proportion of one teaspoonful car
bolic to one gallon of water.
On the Range
When the turkeys are on range
they need be fed but once a day. Keep
poults out of green grain. If allowed
the run of a field of unripe grain they
will gorge themselves and die. All
grain fed to young turkeys should be
a year old. Keep sour milk before
them, If possible, but never cooked
milk. Green food must be supplied to
young turkeys; they will not, at first,
pick it themselves. Cut fine and mix
1t with bran, sour milk and raw egg.
Green dandelions, dock, onion tops
and mustard are all relished by tur-
keys.
Place the coops on new ground
every year, away from the chickens
and feed them separately. Keep the
coops dry and clean If without floors,
move to clean ground every day and
in case of a continued rain sprinkle
coal ashes underneath the coop.
The little poults must have good
care, but never pampered. Give them
all the liberty possible. Study tur-
key nature and use common sense.

Garbage From Hotels
Is Dangerous For
Biddy; Makes Her iii

Hens are subject to catarrhal in
tiammation of the crop, due to i'm
proper feeding, or to other unhygienic
conditions connected with their care,
and this manifests itself by dissension
of the crop with fluids that are often
sour, and general appearance of de-
bility upon the part of the fowl
Garbage from hotels and large
boarding houses is very liable to con-
tain unwholesome materials and is
somewhat dangerous food unless care
fully inspected before feeding. Small
quantities from private tables are not
as likely, of course, to contain bits of
spoiled meat and other deleterious
food. The distended crop of a hen
suffering from this trouble should be
emptied by careful manipulation of
the crop while holding the hen head
downward. She should then be given
a little water containing a pinch of
bicarbonate of soda, as sweetener, and
placed by herself where she can be fed
sparingly upon soft, easily digested
food until she RECEIVERS.

Hardships Of the Miners

A combined electrically operated
coal-cutting and loading machine has
been developed recently, the use of
which will lessen the hardship on
miners who have heretofore been re-
quired to lie in cramped position on
their backs or sides while welding a
pick in the extraction of coal from a
vein. The new device consists in gen.
eral of an underwriting chain, two ver-
tical sheering chains, a pick, a sta
tionary frame, pan, on which the
cutter head can be fed backward and
forward, a receiving conveyor, and
separate loadgin apparatus for lump
and slack coal The apparatus, which
operates similarly to the breast ma
chimes now employed in some mines,
can be placed in any working space
and need not he removed until the
coal is all worked out.-Electrical
