Claims Fair Share of Luck.

Mr. Churchill said that. considering
the work the navy had done in the pro-
lection of British commerce, the re-
strictions it had placed on the enemy $
supplies and the conveying by 1t or
great numbers Of troops to and fro
across the world, with ones eyes fixed
on the mischances that had occurred
and knowing all the circumstances. he
was bound to say. Il think we nave
had a share of the luck.
On the whole, the first lord said. he
considered the navy had done well. 1t
was. he declared, driving German COM
merce from the seas, and preventing
enemies getting war material when
they needed more and more as the war
proceeded Even if England were SIN
gle handed there would be no reason
to despair, but with the French in con-
troll of the Mediterranean, Japan of tue
Pacific and the Russian navy develop
ing 1--WE could go on indefinitely, re-
ceiving our supplies from wherever We
need them, transporting our troops
wherever they are required and con-
tinue the process with our strength
growing every month until, perhaps At
a not very distant date. we achieve the
purposes for which we are lighting.
British submarines, Mr.. Churchill
said, could not score. as the German
ships did not come out to fight. but he
added that the British torpedo boat
destroyers had proved their superiority
in gun power. fact that was un-
known before the war.

at present prices we'll be able to
credit something as an offset to that
amazingly big feed bill the hens have
charged up against them
Future Program for Hens.
As a matter of fact. we are not going
to try to make the hens pay back any
of the money they have cost us. All
we ask is that they shall not cost
us anything in the future and will
pay a reasonable profit on the invest
ment already made December 1 we
shall close the books and begin new
chicken year. The expenditures up 10
that time will be entered as original
investment All eggs and poultry used
on our table in the future Will be
money. together with all receipts from
the sale of eggs and poultry in the
future, will be maintained as a separate
fund. Out of this fund we expect to
pay all future chicken bills, for feed
equipment. etc. Instead of drawing
down whatever profit there is from
month to month, it will be kept in
the fund and used for development OF
our plant. Unless necessity compeis
we shall use none of the receipts from
eggs and poultry for any other pur-
pose until the plant has attained its
maximum development, but no new
money is to be put into 1T. We shall
increase the size of uor flock only so
fast as the Chicken fund" justified our
doing so.
BY following this system we figure
We shall have our poultry venture on
a sound financial basis. and as it will
no longer call for capital there will
be more money next year for develop
ment along other lines. From what I
have read and heard. a great many
poultry failures are due to trying to
accomplish too much in too short d
time. We can't afford to make a fail
ure of it for any such reason. E. S. NJ.

AS for building, the first lord said,
