MRS. PANKHURST, ENG. MILITANT,
ARRIVES IN new YORK But NOT
To ADVOCATE MILITANCY here

New York, Oct. H.-Christabel Pank-
hurst. militant suffragette leader of Eng
land, came unannounced to New York to-
day aboard the Red Star steamer Fin
land Miss Pankhurst made the voyage
under the name of Elizabeth Mcdonald
and did not announce her identity until
the Finland was within sight of shore.
II do not come to America to advocate
militant Methods were almost her first
words as she stepped down the gang
plank to be met by dozen newspaper
reporters. Militant methods are not
needed in America. The men of the Unit
ed States are more liberal than the men
of England; this is demonstrated by the
fact that a number Of your states have
already granted woman suffrage.
''In England our cause has given way
to the cause of war, and we women of
England are all loyal to our flag. The
wornen's fight for votes in England has
been laid aside temporarily l believe,
however, that England would have been
better equipped for war if her women
had been given the vote 1t had been
generally expected for years that the
war would come. The women, who are
the greatest sufferers. should have had a
voice in the preparations to meet it,
BE that as it may, militancy has al
ready given it's lesson in England. None

land will do anything but win in this
war. You know England never has been
whipped"
The long feather that lowered above
Miss Pankhurst's little black velvet hat
trembled violently as she nodded her
head in, emphasis. moment later she
was laughing.
Yes, England was whipped once; I'll
have to admit that, and she was defeat

colonies was wrong. As the result of
tkat defeat she changed her policy and
today, following the policy she adopted
then, she holds the loyalty of Canada,
Australia, India and her other posses

ping America gave her then there is
no telling whether there would be loyal
colonies today
Miss Pankhurst said that she made the
trip under an assumed name because she
preferred to travel that way. She ex

DIVORCE STATUTE

Portland, Me, Oct. 14-As a result of
action taken by attorney in the Dow
VS.. Dow divorce proceeding in the su-
perior court Wednesday, an entirely

law court, The matter will so to the

Judge Connolly The question is
whether the phrasing of the Maine

SALEM SHOE CONCERN
MOVES TO HALLOWELL

The following is clipped from the
Salem Evening News of Oct. II:
Marston & Brooks, Salem shoe manu-
facturers, are going TO Hallowell, Me,
a fiourishing town in the shoe making
belt of the Pine Tree state. They have
leased there a brick factory with 49,
600 square feet of floor space and d
capacity of 5000 pairs of shoes daily.
They will give employment to about
500 persons, when they get to running
at full capacity.
They are now fitting up the shop
with a first-class equipment, and they
expect to begin to cut shoes soon.
At first Mckay shoes for boys,
youths and little gents will be made.
AS the business is developed mems
shoes will be added to the product.
Welt shoes will be made too.
The firm will take with it to
Maine a number of it's foremen ami
men in responsible positions, who have
proven themselves valua BILE employees
in the Salem factory. There are a
good many skilled shoemakers in Hal
lowell, and in the neighboring city
and towns, and many of them will
doubtless apply for positions In the
new shop. 1t is possible that some
Salem shoemakers, who worked for
the firm until the fire, may find places
in the shop after it is started. APP
plications for employment may be
made at the Salem headquarters of
the firm, in the Federal theatre build
ing. They should be made before the
end of this week, because the firm
will close up its Salem office by the
end of the week.
The loss of the business will be felt
by the shoe manufacturing industry
of Salem. The firm had one of the
best factories in Salem. with a first
class equipment, and it gave steady
work to its employees, under pleasant
conditions, and at good wages. The
annual pay roll ran in to the hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and it helped
to maintain a good many comfortable
homes and to keep much retail trade
active in Salem.
In the new location, Marston &
Brooks will continue to make the
same lines of shoes which it produced

has been double this past month than
that of previous months showing a
heavy waste of water. All of this can
be avoided by a little care on the part
of the consumers. Owing to the long

our present supply is much below the

the fall rains make up the deficiency.

Queries From Farmers.

Poultry Raiser" Lovelock: Will
you please give me reliable remedy
for chicken roup?
Answer: First burn the dead birds,
if there are any. Feed the remain
der fthe flock a well balanced ra-
ton. including a mash of one-third
corn meal, one-third bran and one
third middlings to which has been
added 10 per cent of the weight in
beef scraps or dried blood. Mix it
TO crumbly mess with water or milk,
preferably milk. Feed this mash once
day and use any good grain for
scratch feed. For mild cases and for
all fowls in the flock place a small
amount of permanganate OF potash IN
the water. To a gollon of water use
as much as will lie upon the end OF the
small blade of pocket knife. The
permanganate colors the water a deep
pink. Allow the fowls to have no
other water and keep it before them
all the time For the severe cases rub
or spray boracic acid on the eyes, IN
the nostrils and in the mouh, or use
a solution of carbolic acid, about five
drops to a cup of water, or peroxide
of hydrogen, diluted TO about one
part in four. An hour or so later an
noint with sweet oil or veseline. Bo-
racic acid is good except in severe
cases.
Keep the fowls in dry pace, well
ventilated but free from draughts.

RENEWING FARM FLOCKS
Best to Keep Over Both Yearlin,
Hens and Pullets

Under the ordinary farm conditions
believe that it is best to keep over
both yearling hens and pullets, in pro
portion of about half and half.
AS breeder consider the year
ling hen superior to the pullet, as the
eggs are usually larger and will pro-
duce better developed chicks. In fact
the vigor of the offspring is not de-
creased if the hen is kept three or four
years.
Considered as a breeder alone her
value does not depreciate as long as
she produces good chicks. But we
must judge her value also by the total
amount OF her eggyield, and we know
that the older she grows the fewer
eggs she will produce.
Experiment station results and
practical experience go to show that
it seldom pays to keep hens after they
are two years old, except for breeding
uses.
Notwithstanding the fact that pull
let's will lay more eggs than yearling
hens | believe it pays to keep as many
yearlng hens in the flock as pullets.
Many who keep farm flock do not
consider the cost of raising the pullets
to an producing age, while the
year-old hens are making a profit for
them
Keeping about the same number of
yearlings as pullets enables me to
market about one-half of the older
birds druing the summer when they
are in good condition, and will bring
the highest price.
In this way | have plenty of room
for the young pullets early in the fall,
and get them into their houses and
ready TO begin laying before the cold
weather comes on.
By planning my egg producing flock
in this way, | am able 10 supply reg
ular customers, and maintain fairly
uniform egg production during the en-
tire year
After the older birds are mrketed,
the yearlings alone must be depended
upon to supply egg customers until
the pullets begin to lay in the fall.
have found it unsatisfactory to de
pend upon pullets alone to maintain
a uniform production during the
whole year.
Then again. if an incubator is not
used for Matching it is imperative that
we keep over few yearling hens, II
we are to secure early matches to sup
ply the increase to the flock.

Piggish Pigs.

he makes no profit for the owner.

Hence in buying pig for fattening
We should look well to the points that
indicate good constitution A short
snout indicates good appetite, and
mud eyes show the good natured in
activity that bespeaks good use of
the feed. The short, braod face that
