John L. Lawson, ''rewrite man" Of

At the Press Club last night they
were wondering how he would have
written the story, how he would have
expressed the irony of one so filed

had written of death-the girl who

lack of color, there runs love for a

First Annual Meeting Of Charlton
County Poultry Association
More Than Fifty Exhibits Show More Than
Four Hundred Choice Birds. Show
Continues Friday and Saturday

en- her white birds a washing in
blued water which contained so
much bluing that instead of
showing the birds a fine white,
they more resembled bluebirds
than anything else and her name
therefore does not appear on the
list Of exhibitors with those
same blued birds.
Richard White was the young
est exhibitor with a single
teal duck. The larger kind of
poultry figured prominently as
well as the smaller but the
smaller varieties seem to pre-
dominate. Several pens of
frizzled chickens were a unique
sight. There were a few exhibi-
tor of geese and ducks while
there were quite a few coops of
different varieties of turkeys.
One attractive exhibit was the
bunch of male birds exhibited by
Mr.. Daily of Brunswick where a
dozen of them in one coop were
waiting to be scored but were
not entered in competition.
The show is being handled by
the organization and they have
put up a good show, a decided
/ success. The winners and
scores will be given later as the
work of scoring the birds was
on at presstime.

Need Civic Bettermencs

The Saturday Evening Post
with a circulation of more than
"a million and probably more
than a million and a half copies,
is independent in editorial utter
ance. It says among other
things that it favors complete
passing over of national politics
for FIVE years, no elections to be
or anything Of that kind and
that all energies be devoted to
making our municipal govern
ments better. The Post think
it would take that much time to
get a good start and energize
with civic pride the people re-
siding in our cities and towns.
The Post also says that the COM
ing winter is going to be one
when many calls on the charity
of people will be made. II
thinks that organized" charity
is poor substitute for the reaI
thing and urges people as nearly
as possible to ''help at home

1t is usual for the country
newspaper to say that whatever
happens in its home town is a
success. All it needs is the
show and, presto-a success.
With this point in view and with
a desire to be conscientious, it
can be said that the first annual
session of the Charlton County
Poultry Association is a success.
1t is a success in point of num-
ber of exhibitors, number of en-
tries and it is expected that the

hibitors number fifty or more

comparisons are always odious it

The Test of Imbecility

Karl Pearson after an exhaus.
tive study of the question say $
that the mental tests now used
to segregate the feeble-minded
are extremely faulty and result in
the elimination of only 20 or 80
per cent of the incapables. He
says that there will have to be
further tests along other lines,
the lines of emotions, self-con-
troll, feelings and relation to
social duty in other words, tests
of moral judgment, before any
accurate idea can be had of the
amount of mental retardation
suffered by victims and their
relative worth or lack of worth
to the community at large.

The Winter Flock Pay

Making The Winter Flock Pay
Missouri farmers lose thous-
ands of dollars every year be-
cause their poultry is not proper
ly housed. Unless proper quart
ers are provided hens will not
lay during the winter and it is a
waste Of feed and time to hold
them over. The most common
mistake is to keep more hens
than the house will hold. A
better plan would be to Gull the
flock and comfortably house
those that remain. If a poultry
house is roomy, it does no harm
to keep the birds shut up on
stormy days. The house should
be dry. This is accomplished by
having a good dry floor and a
good system of ventilation.
Above all, the quarters should
be light and clean-the house a
pleasant place for the hens to
live in.
The Missouri College of Agri.
culture gives the following pre-.
scription for hen-happiness and
a full egg basket:
Allow each hen four square
feet of floor space.
Provide one square foot o1
glass to every fifteen square
feet of floor space.
Locate the windows on the
south side and place the tops moi
quite half as high as the house
is wide.
VentiIate by placing one
square foot of muslin to every
fifteen square feet of floor space
or by making a slat front similal
to the cupolas in barns. B,
sure the house is free from
cracks and that there are nj
openings for drafts on the back
ends and roof.
Build a floor eight inche
higher than the surrounding
ground. Fill in four inches 0
course stone, then two inches 0
ciay and then two Of dirt. Thi
will make a dry floor.
Provide $40 inches of roost
ing space and one nest to ever
six hens.
Cover the floor with a foot @
eighteen inches of straw. Fee
the grain in the straw so as
encourage exercise.
