We thank you, Mr.. Editor, for the
ers of your paper to boost his or her
favorite variety OF fowls.
After reading the article OF last
week on White Wyandottes one would
almost consider the argument closed.
Eow ever, we will try to set forth a
fe% Of the good points, and plain facts
regarding our favorite breed; the
Rhode Island Red.
Ever since our boyhood days we
have had a desire TO raise Standard
bred poultry. Have tried many breeds
but find the Reds the most satisfac-
tory as a general purpose fowl and
that is what everyone is trying TO get
today. The Reds thrive in all climates
and under nearly all conditions, be-
ing known to exist where other breeds
could not. Not only do they thrive
under confinement but they mature
early and we have no trouble in MAX
ing them lay within five or six months
after they are Matched. From then
on we are sure OF eggs all the time
regardless OF weather. On the coolest
days in winter we get just as many
eggs as in the mildest weather,
There is no argument on Reds be-
ing the best breed for the poor man
or The man who must make his poultry
pay. All he has to do with this breed
is to give them a reasonable amount Of
care and feed, keep them busy and
they will do the rest.
Vivian WI, now x3tali,y
have them all beat a mile; as il is al
most impossible to kill Red except
with an ak, and II should be sharp too
The Reds are not as hard 10 breed
as many would have you believe. of
course, all the chicks are not marked
eXactly as the Standard requires; but
We have yet to find the breed that
does breed absolutely true
The Red will stand forcing, either
thar any other breed. They will grow
"a maturity az fast as any other vari-
Ely. With good care one can easily
nave a 1-2 or 2 pound broiler in six
or eight weeks and will also have
something besides feathers and bone,
as they are always plump and meaty.
no matter how fast you grow them.
AS dressed fowl they are par ex-
cellence. For example, we shipped
one lot Of yearling hens to Detroit
late last summer when the market
was off, and received IS cents per
pound live weight, which was about
cents above the market for ordinary
breeds.
The Reds, though bred for years
have gained a popularity over other
breeds in the last decade, being now
bred more extensively in the east ana
middle west. At a recent show in
Sioux Falls, Ia, out of an exhibit of
1000 birds, 500 were Rhode Island
Reds.
Recently we sold two male birds to
a man in our city who bred r. l. Reds
few years ago and since then has
tried other breeds, but none seemed
TO satisfy like the Reds, so he pur-
chased the males and several pullets
and is sure he will never change again.
We mention another case, a woman
who raises poultry for pleasure and
profit in our city, says there is no
comparison between the Reds and
other breeds which she has tried, as
egg machines and good all around
fowls.
Having once been a breeder OF
Rhode Island Reds, you will be sur
prised TO find there is no other breed
that will quite take their place as
general purpose fowl.

grelism in any form should be dis
carded from the farm. A pen of pure
stock will make the start or a few
settings of eggs. From these raise
next years birds. Keep on improv-
ing and then you can enlarge the
plant according to. the knowledge and
capital that you command. Pure
stock will give you better market
stock and better egg records, and that
means a higher price on the market.

SMALL EIOCKS

No matter how many fowls a far
mer has, the ilocks should be small
and should be permanently separated
from each other. The birds should
not be allowed to run over the same
ground, for by that means disease is
spread.
The more birds there are on "a farm
the more certain il is that one of them
will get some contagious disease. If
the fowls are lin one big flock the dis
ease brings "a disaster. If they are
divided into several flocks, the dis
ease can be confined To one flock.
The same is true of Infection by lice
and mites

COURTESY IN BUSINESS

with that of any railroad in the United
States. Good manners are traditional
in the South and our men are South
ern men. This is attested by many
letters which are received by the
management commencing individual
employees for conspicuous acts of
courtesy and painstaking efforts to
serve our patrons.
occasionally, however, letters are
received complaining of instances of
discourtesy These may be entirely
eliminated if each officer and employee
will adopt as his rule of conduct the
declaration by the late President Fin
ley that 'He serves the railroad best
who serves the public best"
Aside from the important theme de-
veloped by President Harrison, his
circular is fine example OF a brief
: clear, to-the-point essay, expressed in
good style.
1t speaks well forour American civ
ilization, and for Southern courtesy,
I that the president of a great railway
company, whose chief business some
would think is to make dollars, has
the time and inclination to consider
the amenities of life
Young men who would rise in the
: business world, should also notice
that President Harrison concludes his
, circular by quoting approvingly, from
his predecessor.

Ten Years Fight Against Child
Labor Brings Results

That child labor is decreasing in
the United States is proved by the Re-
port on Occupations recently published
by the Bureau of the Census. This re-
port shows that between 1900 and 1910
there was decrease of 1925 in the
number of children 10 to Is years of
age engaged in flon-agricultural pur-
suits. Of this numter 1866 were
boys and 51,57 girls. The National
Child Labor committee consider the
Census figures very gratifying as
showing the results of their work. eve
have been sure for some time" says
Owen R, Lovejoy, General Secretary
of the National Child Labor Commit
Zee, in commenting on the Census re-
port, that there must have been a
decrease in the number of children It
work, but until now we have never had
official figures to prove such a de-
crease. Since our organization in
1904 we have secured improved child
labor or compulsory education laws
in every state of the Union. There are
still states, however, in which the
generally accepted 14-year age limit
for work in manufacturing establish
ments is not recognized, IA states that
allow children under 16 to work at
night, and great number of states
that do not properly regulate the EN-
ployment of children in dangerous
trades, street trades, and various oc-
equations, outside of factories and
stores. So we still have plenty of
work to do, We regard the Census fig

Recently President Fairfax Harri-
son, of the Southern Railway Com
pany, sent out, to all the officers and
employees of that company, a circular
on the subject of courtesy.
Since courtesy means the same
thing in all other lines of business
that it does upon the railroad, we arc
glad of the opportunity to reproduce
President Harrisons circular:
"A railroad is first of all a public
servant. 1t follows that the success
of railroad as a business enterprise
depends, in very large measure, not
only upon the efficiency of the trans
portation it affords, but upon the PEI
sonal treatment which those doing
business with the railroad receive at
the hands of its officers and employees.
Therefore, in addition to doing every
thing in his power to promote the
physical efficiency of our service, each
officer and employee, whatever may be-
his rank or duty, must at all times
consider the moral efficiency, and this
means first of all that he should treat
all patrons of the Company and others
with whom he may come into contact
with politeness and courtesy. This is
q primary rule of management of
Southern Railway Company, but it is
no more than each officer or employee
himself expects of every one whom
whom he buys. This rule should be
observed regardless of the amount OF
business that the individual may give
to the Company, not only because that
is the part of a gentleman, but from
self interest, for the occasional trav-
eler or the small shipper of today may
be the constant traveller or the large
shipper of tomorrow. A nursed grudge
growing out of surly answer has
been responsible for many of the
troubles of the railroad Let us all
then try to please the public.
The station agent should remem-
Der that at his station he is the South
ern Railway Company and that public
opinion regarding the Company in his
community is very largely his respon-
sibility In addition to maintainin 9
the highest efficiency at his station, he
should see to it that he and his sub
ordinates maintain pleasant and
agreeable manners in meeting the
public and that all questions, even
Unreasonable questions, are answered
with politeness and courtesy.
sit is equally important that train
men shall observe the rule of courtesy
and politeness, giving full, responsive
and intelligent information to those
passengers who solicit it about any
thing that may happen on the road.
The operation of railroad is inter
esting to every intelligent man, ami
the more information such a man has
about actual conditions the more he
will understand the difficulties en-
conntered in operation and so con-
tribute to sound public opinion.
81 am proud to believe that the gen.
eral average Of courtesy and polite
lness in the Southern Railway organ
lization will compare most favorably

Mt. PLEAsA nj
To Pick Wesleyan Five. Early
Next Week So Men Will Be
Ready for Trip East.

BEcKHANNoN, Dec. 2s.-Next
Monday the men who are to make
up the 1915 Wesleyan basketball
team will report to Coach Mt. Pleas
ant at the Wesleyan gymnasium for
early practice. Before the men went
home for their vacations each re-
ceiyed a notice from Mt. Pleasant
asking them to be in Buckhannon in
time for practice the afternoon OF
the 4th. This is requested because
OF the fact that the early part Of the
schedule Is exceedingly hard, and
that there is a hard game on the
Wesleyan floor the latter part Of the
first week OF school, that with
Wheeling Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION the 9Th OF January. Be
fore this time the men who are to
make up the team are to be picked
and also the men who arc to take
the trip east, and since this trip is
by far the most important on the
schedule this year the Wesleyan
team and followers feel that 1t is
very important that the lost showing
possible be made in the east. So
next Monday will see the Orange and
Black getting down to real work in
preparation for the coming hard
season. 1t will be a hard proposition
to pick the best team out Of these
men. as there are so many Of ability
ten Oft Of the 1914 squad. and SIX
others that have shown that they
are able Of making the old men ster
some to hold the places on the team
A veteran five can be picked at Wes-
ieyan this year, so 1t is assured that
the Wesleyan team will be we'll NJ
to the standard Of the past.
