Little Opposition to the
Plan for FireprOOfing
q SchoOIhOuse in Madison


;, MADISON, May 15.-It is predicted
On good authority that when the
Special district meeting for the pur-
pose of raising $500 for increased fire
protection in the Green avenue school
buildings is held next Wednesday
this issue will be carried with few
dissenting votes.
Edward L. Cook, of the board, stat
ed yesterday that he has not heard
OF any opposition. Other members of
the board are of the opinion that the
amount will be given. F. L. Van Et-
ten, chairman of the building COM
nnittee, who is the father of the cleo
! tion, thinks that there will be no op-
position to the amount asked for Mr.
Van Etten is In close touch with the
only persons who ever defeated
requested appropriation and he ought
90 know.
This election is being held as a re-
suit of the recommendations of
committee of three former fire chiefs
who made an examination of the
building. While they did not agree
with the State authorities as to the
amount of Improvements. they made
such suggestions as would make the
Nchool buildings safer than they are
at present
The Board of Public Improvement
has gone on record as favoring the
special tax, but thought that the
amount Of 5000 is not sufficient to
make the proper improvements.
It has been enormously stated that
Mr.. Cook, of the Board of Education
IS not in favor of the proposed i'm
provements. He voted against a
special tax but did so on the grounds
that the appropriation of the build
ing committee is ample without hold
Eng special election. He stated to
a representative of The Star that he
is heartily In accord with the recon-
mendations of the fire chiefs but does
not believe in taxing the generosity
of the voters too much.

LARGE FARMS FOR BIG MEN
Small Pieces Of Land Are Below
Average Mentality and Capacity
of American Farmer.

Big men require big farms to make
money. They must have room In
which to exercise their activities of
mind.
This Is not saying that every man
who happens to own large farm is
successful or that every man who
happens to own a small farm is un-
successful because of his personal
shortcomings as farmer.
There are many big-hearted farm
ers on the small farms of the east
who have spent most of their lifetime
In eaking out very moderate living
without being able to properly edu-
cate their children or provide against
the future day when they can no long.
er work.
These men have failed because they
did not have land enough upon which
TO extend their mental and physical
energy.
Many men in the west have ratified
around half their lifetime on large
areas without making money because
they were too small for the land they
OWn-tney are miSfit5.
There is great deal of talk about
cutting up the large farms of the
west into small areas, and it is true
that the tendency is toward small
farms, but no man can succeed at
grain or stock farming on a limited
area, and the wheat and beef, mutton,
pork, ETC., of this country will always
be raised on large farms.
In New England, or in any of the
eastern states. where the average of
tillable land is from 35 to so acres,
machinery cannot be used at profit.
To equip farm of rs to 100 acres,
from $4,000 to $4,000 would be re.
quired, and not enough profit can be
made by general farming to maintain
this equipment and make a profit, be.
cause 1t cannot be used to advantage.
Farm tools must be used to their
fullest capacity during the entire
cropping season to make them profit
able. 1t does not pay the farmer to
buy a mower to cut five or ten acres
OF grass, nor a harvester to cut the
same amount of wheat.
He must therefore hire machinery
when and how he can, and is thus
always placed at a disadvantage in
the matter of time and cost.
The small farm is below the aver.
age mentality and business capacity
of the average farmer of America.
thousands of men are struggling to
earn a livelihood on so acres who
would become wealthy on 500.

PARASITE OF POULTRY
Blood Thirsty Pest Causes Great
Loss to Industry.
Hens Attacked by Common Chicken
Mite Cease Laying, Become Poor
In Flesh and ListIess In Action
Remedies for Eradication.
(By II. C. PIERCE.)

Inc WOTSI pdIdeito VI pOuitIy
against which the poultryman and
farmer have to contend Is the com
mon chicken mite" or red chicken
mite" There are other species of
mites which attack poultry, but they
do much less damage. This blood
thirsty pest causes great loss to the
poultry industry of the country by
killing adult fowls and chicks and cut
ting down egg production. 1t not only
attacks poultry but horses and even
man as we'll
Hens which are attacked by mites
cease laying, become poor in flesh,
dumpish, and listless in action. The
head and comb become pale and the
bird presents a sickly appearance.
These symptoms are caused by the
irritation and loss of blood due to
nightly visits of hordes of these
hungry parasites. 1t seems hardly
believable that fowls could be killed
by such small pests, but they are so
many in numbers that their total
capacity for blood is enormous. Their
ravages are most pernicious on sitting
hens, as here they may have access
to their host at all times, causing a
rapid loss of blood. Attacks upon sit
ting hens often result in the hen
leaving her nest or in her death. spoil
ing the hatch In either case Even IL
the hen does withstand the ravages of
the mite, the newly-hatched chicks are
attacked as soon as they emerge from
the shell and are often killed in a
short time.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfectant solutions. The poul-
try house and fittings should be SO
built as to be easily cleaned. The
walls should be smooth and as free
from cracks as possible. Nests, roots
and dropping boards should be easily
removable to allow spraying Of their
entire surface and the walls beneath
them. There are several preparations
for the eradication of mites of which
two good ones are here given:

Commercial cresol is a coal tar by
product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about thirty cents per
pound. Care should be taken not to
get any of 1t upon the hands or face
as 1t will cause intense smarting.

MOLAR a CUSPID,
Up-to-Date Dentista.

On Christmas morning Frederick
Allison was somewhat surprised when
his wife handed him a small plush
case, saying:
There. dear, Is q set of things that
you probably didn't think of when you
were buying everything you thought
might possibly want to give you for
present. You don't need them yet, but
you probably will some day, and
thought 1t would be nice to get them
now. seeing that they were offered at
a bargain"
He opened the case, looked at the
set Of teeth II contained and said:
Lets 60 to breakfast. I want to
bite into something.

to get him neckties for Christmas.
That's just the man Of it. / don't see
why he couldn't have waited little
while. Let me see. suppose I'll have
to get him a fob or something like
that, now"
IL was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife. after dinner, saying:
"Oh, Juliet, want to show you a
fob that bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for
long time"
Juliets enthusiasm over 1t was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and a
new Joy sprang up within her. She
would get him scarfpin for Christ
mas. for his old one was rather out of
style and never had been an expensive
one. anyway.
by the way, DEAR" said Allison the
next evening, 'I bought something to-
day that I'd like to have you look at"
or course 1t was a scarfpin. Juliet
knew 1t would be the moment she saw
the tissue paper package which he
fished out of his vest pocket. She pre-
tended, with brave heart, to think 1t
was very pretty, but she fancied that
she could have made a better selection
If he had only permitted her to have
the chance.
At the Office Allison had told the
boys OF the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things in
the shape Of Christmas presents for
him, and 1t was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.
Christmas was only a week away
and Juliet lay awake a long time
that night trying to think what present
she could get for her husband. There
were the new books, but he had in
formed her that he didn't want books.
They had all the standard works in the
library, and he never read any of the
modern novels. All, happy thought

too, because she played ball with the
boys before rehearsals. And those
nights when the Choir Master let
them invite their frienls in for games
she was the girl most of them wanted
for partner.
So anyone can see why the boys
were blue when Ricky Jackson, her
brother came into the choir room
Christmas eve and said:
mil" (short for Mildred, her real
name) isn't going to have any Christ
, mas!"
The boys stopped right there, some
, with their choir clothes only half on.
If they didn't find out right away what
was the matter with the Choir Sister.
I the Christmas eve service would have
to go without their singing.
So Ricky told how she had come
down that morning with funny tired
feeling, and shifting and hot cheeks.
and had to stay in bed, and how she
cried when she thought of the tree
she was going to miss.
You can see why that Christmas
eve service was not as happy as 1t
should have been for these boys. AZ
terward, when the tree was lighted
with the starlike candles and the Sun
day school room was filled with boys
and girls opening their presents, each
choir boy was thinking of the Choir
Sister, lying there at home. wishing
she could be with them.
Next day people in church thought
the boys sang the Christmas hymns
better than ever. But the people did
not know that just before the boys
marched in the Choir Master had told
them a plan by which the Choir Sis
ter would have Christmas she would
never forget
At evening the janitors doorbell
rang. The Choir Mother opened it,
and in came the Choir Master and
lot of boys with red cheeks and smil-
ing faces. Back of the others four
of the biggest boys dragged through
the door small Christmas tree.
They set the tree up in the parlor.
Everyone was still. for they didn't
want the Choir Sister to know any
thing about it till 1t was all ready.
Soon the candles we're in place, and.
the trimmings, and they lit the can
dies, and each boy placed a package
under the tree, and then wonderful
thing happened!
The door opened and the Choir
Mother and the Choir Master walked
in, carrying between them little
stretcher, and upon that lay the Choir
Sister.
You should have seen her face! You
could almost see the light of the can
dies sparkling in it, so happy was
she! The boys held their breath, won

formed her, to last him all winter.
Then it was that the iron entered Ju-
liet Allison's soul. She decided to give
up the idea of making her husband a
| Christmas present that would be in
any wise distinctive. She would mere
ly get him a pair Of gloves and per
! haps a few handkerchiefs- Hardly had
she adopted this resolution, however,
before he turned to her saying:

She went back to her chair and sat
for long time gazing at the flames
which fiickered around the gas log.
The daily paper was lying on the table
at her elbow. and her glance at length
fell upon some large black letters
which presently resolved themselves
into words. Then she read this adver-
tisement:

she was happy, and some of the boys
SMILED bit, just because she was

fun that goes with tree.
But soon they took her away. She
was so tired that she fell asleep right
after they put her back in bed. She
dreamed that she saw flock of sheep
with their shepherds on great plain
Suddenly there was a great light from
above and she seemed to hear angels
singing.
She awoke. The singing did not
stop. She arose and opened the win
dow.
There, in the moonlight under her
window stood her Choir Brothers with
lighted candles, like the Christmas
carol singers of Old England. They
were singing this hymn:
"Hark! the Herald Angels sing"
When the verse was finished the
Choir Sister leaned out and called
down to them:
Brothers, you have made me love
COD whole lot more. A merry
Christmas to you ALL"
And to you!" they echoed.
AS the Choir Sister crept back TO
bed she heard the voices of the boys
lie away in the distance. Then
chime Of bells somewhere out in the
'reat snow-white world rang out the
'ery hymn the boys had been singing
md the Choir Sister fell asleep.
