NO TRUCE IN EUROPE CHRIST
MAS DAY.

LONDON, December 18.-The
laundering roll of heavy guns will
be the Christmas chimes of Eu-
rope. It's carols will be the cries
of dying men. Across the sky to-
ward which the wise men looked
for the star which guided them to
a manger will dart the air craft of
hostile powers-the latest man
made engine for aiding in the de-
struction of fellow-men.
Thousands may die upon battle
fields on this coming Christmas
day, when the message of peace
on earth, good will to men," is
being again repeated in other parts
of the world. for Pope Benedict has
announced that his efforts to bring
about truce between the warning
nations of Europe during the
Christmas season had failed.

! INTRODUCTORY.
! In taking charge of this depart
ment of The Washington Standard /
have but one idea in mind, that of
advancing the poultry industry in
Thurston county and vicinity along
practical lines by the helpful discus
sion OF problems that Immediately
concern the poultry raisers of this
section of the state.
! No day dreams will be INDUCED in,
no theories aired, no attempt made
to convince the readers of this paper
that the writer knows all that there
is to be known about the game of
raising chickens; nor is it the writ
er's intention to hog" all of the
space in this department. We want
to give the poultrymen Of this county
a chance to get together, to compare
notes and exchange ideas in a more
intimate way than is possible through
the columns of a journal devoted ex-
clusively to poultry culture and which
has circulation extending over
many states where conditions differ
widely.
Just remember this, Mr.. Poultry
man. whether you are farmer, a
backlotter or a fancier: we want you
to have a share in the work of this
department. We want your Ques-
lions, we want your ideas, we want
to pass on the things that you have
learned. This poultry business Is a
billion-dollar proposition. There are
millions of people engaged in the in
dustry; there is room for millions
more, for the supply is not keeping
up with the demand. Isn't 1t worth
while for US to improve our methods,
produce more and better poultry and
reap the increased profits that must
come from better methods? Thurs
ton county imports thousands of dol
lars worth of poultry and eggs every
year. Why not raise 1t here?
There is one other point that de-
sire to mention at the very start.
There are those who complain that
the poultry journals deal only with
the fancy side of the business and that
the man who is in the utility side Of
the game is left out entirely. Wheth-
or this is true or not is not pertinent
here. but 80 far as this department lie
concerned 1t is the whole industry
that we are anxious to build up and
not any particular branch. True, l
believe in pure bred stock. whether
It be chicken. dog or cow. but also
realize that the ideal cannot be reach
ed in a day. The real test is whether
or not each year finds US little bit
ahead Of the last.
It is q fact that about 80 per cent
of the poultry raised In the United
States is raised on the farms by those
who cannot be said to be fanciers and
I have often tried to imagine the tre-
mendous growth that would have
taken place had the 80 per cent, who
are usually called utility men. work
ed as hard to advance the business as
have the 10 per cent represented by

Open Season For Colds.


This is the open season for colds.
Even fowls with the best of care will
sometimes catch a little cold. Don't

ing water occasionally is q good pre-
ventive and a small oil can and q
little kerosene is almost indispensa-

!. THE QUESTION OF CLEAN ::
:: Illness. :
:. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. j. j. j. + !. i. !. =:
Too often do we have the idea that
a fowl is a sort of scavenger anyway
and that cleanliness would not be APP
preciated or profitable. We are not
so sure about the matter Of apprecia-
ton on the part of the fowl but we
are positive that cleanliness of its
food and surroundings will make IL
a dividend-earner instead of bur-
den to it's owner.
It isn't reasonable to suppose that
sour, filthy food is good for the sys.
tenn of fowl. It isn't reasonable to
suppose that the food that a fowl
eats does not make a difference in
the quality Of eggs and meat. If you
are in doubt about the latter point
feed your hens a few messes Of onions
and then try the eggs. Damp, moul.
dy, smelly houses are not conducive
to health and vigor. Shiny, filthy
water dishes are fruitful source OF
contagion. Just remember that fowls
are subject to all of the diseases that
you are and that conditions that are
unhealthful for men are unhealthful
for the fowls.
Don't gather from this that fowls
should be pampered and coddled
Just give them chance to have good
food, clean quarters and plenty OF
exercise and you need not worry.

IN YE oLDEN TIME THE OLD BLACK BULL.

The settlement of Colchester was limits of Hartford county and was commonly called The Plantation of the Twenty Mile River"
 Rev. John Bulkiey. Samuel Gil- bert, Michael Taintor, Samuel Nathan, John Adams, Joseph Pomeroy and John Loomis were the principal men in the early settlement.
 In the early eighteen hundreds the town contained the Congregational and one Baptist church. Bacon Academy and g. school for colored children. The Academy was free to town pupils and very reasonable to outside scholars. The Academy was named for its foun- der and benefactor, PIerpont Bacon, who left it SS5,000 in funds. It was at that time one of the best acad- craze attendance of 200 pupils under five teachers. Colchester was also not ed for it's iron ore bed; bed of the very best quality was said to lie about a mile north west of the Congregation al church.
 of the, town; graduated from Harvard in 1899; was ordained Dec 20. 1703 and died in 1731. He was a very brilliant scholar and noted for his good Judg- ment. The following story has been handed down to us in the annals of
 
 shows us how much his good judg- ment was appreciated:
 '.The Rev. MT. Bulkley of Colchester Conn.,, was famous in his day as a casuist and sage counselor. A neigh boring church had fallen into unhappy divisions and contentious which they were unable to settle among them ! selves They deputed one of their number to the venerable Bulkley fol his services with the request that he should send advice to them in writing The matter was taken into much con- sideration and the advice after long deliberation was committed in writing 1 Mir. BuIkley owned farm in a distant i part of the town on which he entrust- ed a tenant. He wrote him at the same time. and it so happened that 1T subscribing the letters the one to the tenant was addressed to the church 1 and the one to the church was addres- | sed to the tenant

advice which was te end all their dls- putes. The moderator read as follows:
 'eYou will see to the repair of the fences that they are built hign anu strong and you will take especial care of the Old Black Bull.
 This mystical advice puzzled the church at first but an interpreter was found among the more discerning ones' who said:
 sfBretheren. this is the very advice we needed The direction to repair the fences is to admolish us to take gooo heed in the administration and gov ernment of our members; we must guard the church by our Master laws and keep out strange cattle rom the fold. And we must in particular manner set a watchful guard over the Devil-the Old Black Bull, who mas done us so much hurt of late.
 All perceived the wisdom and fitness of Mir. Bulkley's advice and resolVeu to be governed by it. The consequence was that all animosities subsided ana harmony was restored to the long ar. flicted church. What the subject or the letter was sent to the tenant, anu what effect it had on him history ooes not say.
 The inscription is on his monument in the Colchester cemetery:

 MT. Bulkley was a lawyer and phy- sician as we'll as a theologian. Another famous man of Colchester was one Jonoathan Kilburn, an in ventor who lived about one mile south of the academy.

DISSOLUTION OF
 THE COAL TRUST.
Court Decrees That Evidence of Both
 Sides Be in by April 24.

Philadelphia, Jan. Disappointment of an examiner to take testimony and the limiting of time in which to sub init evidence in the suit of the govern ment to dissolve the coal trust were incorporated in a decree filed by Judge Gray in the United States appellate court today.
 Suits were started several years ago by the government against the Read ing company, its subsidiary concerns, and a number of other railroads and coal companies declared by the gov ernment to be in a combine to regu- late the production and output of coal in the anthracite region, but these were withdrawn so that the govern ment could be more specific in it's all legations of conspiracy and monopoly.
 Last October new suits were filed in the district court, and today Judge Gray appointed Charles H. GuiIbert as special examiner to take testimony and to submit the transcribed notes to the court not later than May 23.
 It is also stipulated in the order that the government shall conclude the sub- mission of testimony not later than March 10, and that the defendants shall have furnished all proofs not later than April 24-

LEE WINS SEAT IN THE SENATE.
Was Elected at Special Election Held
 in Maryland.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Blair Lee.
 democrat, was seated by the senate today as the first senator from Mary
 land elected directly by the people,
 succeeding Senator William P. Jack
 son, republican. His commission was
 accepted by a vote of 53 to 13.
 A minority of the senate commit tee on privileges and elections con- tended that the governor of Maryland
 had no authority to call a special cleo
 ton under the seventeenth amend ment to the federal constitution sub stituting direct election of senators for
 the old method of selection by the leg islatures.
 All the senators opposed to seating | the new member were republicans. The vacancy in the Maryland rep
 resentation in the senate dated back
 to the death of Senator Rayner. The governor of Maryland appointed MT. | Jackson to fill the vacancy on No vember 29, 1912. before the constitu- ! tional amendment became effective. Later he issued a writ for a special | election, which was held last Novem- ! Der, acting on the theory that the stat | utes of Maryland, enacted before the passage of the amendment. were suffi- | cient to carry the amendment in ef- 1 facf
