Rev. III. L. Davis, Once Pre-
siding Elder in Missouri,
Sentenced in South.
WROTE OBSCENE NOTE
TO MEXICO WOMAN
Former Pastor is Denounced By
Judge-Trial is Sensational
One.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 23-The
Rev. Howard l.. Davis, formerly pre-
siding elder of the Mexico (Mo) dis
trict of the Southern Methodist
Church, has been sentenced to three
years in the Federal penitentiary at
lanta on his plea of guilty to the
charge of sending improper communi-
cations and scurrilous matters through
the United States mails to Mrs. Vir-
ginia w. Davis of Mexico, Mo.
Davis was expelled from the min
istry and from membership in the
church in August at church trial at
Titusville, Fla, at which he is said
to have made a complete confession.
He was at that time pastor of the
Southern Methodist Church at Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
Davis, who is 81 years old ar
distinguished appearance, was accom-
panied to court by his wife and two
grown sons. In pleading guilty he
made an impassioned address. Judge
Hydon Mccall, in sentencing him,
spoke for five minutes and excoriated
him severely.
"H you were an ignorant man."
Judge Mccall said, II would say that
you might have merely blundered, but
for a man who is supposed to be a
teacher of morality to stoop to at
tempt to defanle woman's character
there is no excuse. / sentence you to
term of three years."
The offense of Davis consisted not
in sending obsence matter through the
mail, but in sending scurrilous mes,
sages on postal cards. If the COM
munications had been sealed there
would have been no violation of the
law.
. Before going to Florida, Davis was
minister in the Missouri Conference
for nearly 80 years. He preached at
St. Charles, Hannibal, st. Joseph and
other cities, and was an active work
er for statewide prohibition. In 1913
he preached and lectured at the Meth
odist Assembly at Arcadia, Mo. He is
we'll known in st. Louis.
Mrs. Virginia Davis is the widow
of a physician and is reputed to be
wealthy. He home was formerly al
Mokane, Mo-, where Davis became ac-
quainted with her after he was a
pointed presiding elder of the Mexi
CO district. Later she moved to Mexi
co and occupied a house adjoining thai
in which the minister and his famil,
lived.
Trouble arose between them befor
he left Mexico, and Davis is said t
have written her some letters whil
still there. In admitting his guilt, h
said that he became infuriated W
Mrs. Davis wrote to him that she IN
tended to use these letters against hir
and he then wrote the communication
which resulted in his three years sen.
tence.
The church trial was secret. Hi
expulsion from the ministry and mem.
bership of the church was on account
of his conduct prior to the writing o.
me communications on which the
court conviction was based.

GOOD LAYERS ARE
NOT GOOD BREEDERS
Late Hatched Chicks Are Poor
Proposition; Hens Have Vi
tality in the Spring

In feeding hens from which you
intend to breed, remember that what
ever loss there may be from poor
laying in the winter will be more than
iregained in the Spring by reason of
the better results that will be OBJ
tanned in Matching, and rearing chicks.
1t is often true that hens may be used
for egg production in the winter and
breeding in the Spring for season
or two with good results, but failure
is absolutely sure to follow If this
method is kept up. This is the prin-
cipal reason why experienced raisers
do not use pullets for breeding. They
are very easily made to produce heav-
lily during the winter and consequently
give poor results as breeders. Older
hens, on the contrary, do respond
readily during that part of the year.
1t would seem that nature meant for
them to have that for a resting sea-
son. They enter Spring full of energy
and vitality and consequently are
able to transmit it to a greater extent
to their offspring.
Egg farmers have long ago real
zed that late hatched chicks were a
poor proposition. Exhibitors and
fancy breeders often secure their best
young from their late clutches. The
reason is found in the condition as
stated above. The egg farmers hens
are in very low state If vigor from
heavy winter and Spring producing.
The fancier has learned that heavy
laying is not conducive to the best re-
suits and does not urge his hens to
exert themselves. They are in good
physical condition when the other
fellows flock is not.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
REAL POULTRY MEAL
Expert Says No One Ration Salts.
factorily Meets All the
Conditions Met

Continuous controversy is going on
as to what constitutes the ideal poul-
try ration and the manner in which
this should be fed. The fact that no
one ration satisfactorily meets all con-
ditions. The proper mixture for one
type of fowls may not be suitable for
another. Climate and the system of
housing have bearing upon the sub
1ect. Since some can care for their
birds only in the early morning and
late in the evening" the convenience
of the attendant must be considered.
However, there are certain well es-
tablished principles which should be
observed. The ration must. be varied
in character and supplied in liberal
quantities. For reasons of economy.
reliance should be placed upon feeds
which are to be had locally at rea-
sonable prices. Sometimes the addi-
ton of some high-priced imported
reed fails to bring an Increase in yield
sufficient to warrant its continued use.
The laying hen must have food in
sufhceint quantity of kinds that con-
tain the different elements entering
into the composition of an egg, to
maintain her body and turn out
highly concentrated product She re-
quires succulent vegetable matter,
animal food and grains. She may get
of these are omitted from her dier,
but under such conditions her eff
cheney Will be impaired and the re-
suits secured will not be the best
The varied ration is attractive to
her. 1t stimulates the appetite and
induces her to eat heavily.
She must consume liberal quanti-
ties of raw material if expected to re-
turn finished product in large guam
titles. Fresh air is a mighty impor-
tant factor in maintaining the health
of hen, but it will not suffice for
the making of egg shells or any part
of the egg itself. There is no dam
ger of overfeeding on a varied ration,
especially during that period of the
year when short days keeps the hens
on the roost more than half the time.
In fact, the great problem during the
short days is to induce the layers to
eat enough during the daylight hours
to carry them comfortably through
the long, cold nights and still have
enough surplus for the manufacture
of the desired eggs.

Dignity of American
Hen Is Threatened

The dignity of the American hens
labor is threatened; poorly paid hens
in Germany and China are under
mining her prosperity by turning out
an inferior product that is being
brought into this country since the
duty on eggs has been removed. 1t
means that the American hen, her
keeper and the consumer of the i'm
ported eggs are all going to lcce out;
likewise, the American cold Storage
man is getting bumped.
Since eggs have been placed on the
free list large shipments to this coun-
try from Shanghai and other ports
have been made. AS showing how
the removal of the duty stimulates ex-
ports to this country, it is shown that
in December, 1913, the shipments
amounted to S71, 900, in contrast with
s2,451 for the IL months of 1913
when duty on eggs was collected.

Excessive Thinness,

Excessive thinness is more difficult to
treat as a rule, than obesity. for II is
generally the result of mal-assimilation,
which is really disease. Food reduction
will mitigate or entirely cure most cases
of obesity, but to increase food consump-
tion Is by no means an efficacious method
of treating thinness. Mal-assimlation
cases are obstinate and accompanied by
weakness a diagnosis should be made by
skilled physician and regime laid out
and followed
There are other cases where apparently
healthy women fall below the average in
weight; in such cases the cause can often
be found and treated
