PRIEST WHO WORRIED
SENT TO SANATORICM

Greensboro, KY. Oct. 30.--It was
necessary to-day for officers to take
the Rev. Christian Weigan, pastor of
the Catholic church at Curdsville. in
charge. Father Weigan had two
brothers in the European war. One
was fighting with the Prussian army
and the other with the Belgians
Recently he received word that one
of them had been killed in battle.
He has been worrying over the war
and II is feared the news of the
death of his brother impaired his
mind. He became violent yesterday
and last night refused to admit the
officers to his home. This morning
another priest persuaded him to sub
NIT and he was brought to Ovens
boro. 1t was arranged to send him
to sanatorium in st. Louis, and he
was taken there tonight. He came
to this county from Texas year
ago.

A MOVEMENT TO SUSPEND
WAR ON CHRISTMAS DAY

From London comes the informa-
ton that a group of clerics and edu-
Gators have started movement to
induce the warning Powers to agree
to an armistice. wherein all HOSTILE
ties shall be suspended and all war
shall rest, for the period of Christ
mas day-just for that, and nothing
more. IT is an agreeable expression
of sentiment.
But will men of any country who
accurately estimate the meaning of
what has happened in Europe since
the LIST of August, and what is prob
ably happening there daily, hang
much expectation on suck a move
ment? Nothing, to be sure, could
be more crudely cruel, more against
the spirit of civilization. than to let
the engines of wars destruction con-
tinue to kill men on Christmas day.
What is there in all this war which
is not in violent discord with the
spirit of Christ? There is no Chris
tianity, no humanity, least of all is
there any sentiment, in this war. Let
no reasoning man expect that any
influence OF school or church will be
potent to make the fighters pause.
The spear that knows no brother
knows no softening influence of the
mild spirit OF Christmas. Il New

"Penroseism" Term of
Which to Be Proud,
Manufacturer Asserts

Greensburg, Pa, Oct 10.-Promi-
nent manufacturers in Westmoreland
county held a meeting this afternoon
in the armory and formed West
moreland county branch of the Penn
sylvania Protective Union by the cleo
tion of ]. ]. Smith, president, Mckee
Glass Company, of Jeanette, as chair
man.
A statement signed by eighty-seven
manufacturers was read and formally
approved by the meeting. Chairman
Smith read a speech of acceptance, in
which he said that the object of the
organization was to work for the
restoration of protective tariff policies
and the election of protectionist cam
didates to both branches of Congress.
He warmly endorsed the record of
United States Senator Penrose and
declared that it was of the utmost
importance to businessmen all over
the country that Mr.. Penrose should
be returned to Washington and that
congressional candidates pledged to
his protective tariff views should be
sent to the national House of Repre-
sentatves.
THE word 'Penroseism'," said Mr..
Smith, seems to me to be a very
subtle compliment to our senior SEN
ator. 1t was not intended to be so, of
course, but when you stop to think
that 'Penroseism means the things
that Senator Penrose stands for and
has stood for in the past. and when
you remember that these are the
things which have made Pennsylvanta
great, there is certainly nc reason to
blush for the fact that we are now
banding ourselves together to demand
a continuance of 'Penroseism."

Supply Markets With
Only GOod-sized Eggs

Respecting the size of eggs. it should
be the aim of the poultry farmer to
supply the markets with only those
of good size. A little more attention
might be given to the selection of
breeding stock with a view to per-
petuating the good-sized egg trait in
the future generations. With the use
of the trap nest the task Of produc-
ing a flock capable of laying eggs
weighing two ounces and over could
easily be accomplished. Eggs of good
size and uniformity will alone COM
mand price calculated to make COM
mercial egg production highly profit
able By the aid of the trap nest and
a pair of scales it won't take the
poultryman long to spot the hens that
produce the good-sized eggs, and to
Gull out from the flock those birds
laying eggs below the size stanadrd
sought If the birds that produce the
choicest eggs are mated to males bred
from layers of good-sized eggs, the
progeny, if well reared and rightly fed
will in turn produce good-sized eggs

PEN WELL
UP IN EGG CONTEST
Strong Finish and No Deaths Speak
Well For Sturdiness of
His Stock

The third international egg-laying
contest at Storrs, Connecticut, will
come to a close on the last day of this
month and it now looks as if the finish
will be exciting. At the close of the
forty-eighth week three pens of ten
hens each had made records as fol-
lows: White Leghorns, owned by
Carmel, Conn, zoos eggs; White
Leghorns, owned by Storrs Agricul-
tural College, 1886 eggs; White
Wyandottes, owned by Tom Barron,
England, 1870 eggs. Within the
rty-eighth week these pens pro-
duced, respectively, 81 eggs, 25 eggs
and Al eggs. The English birds were
3S eggs behind the leaders, but If the
present pace is unchanged in the four
weeks yet to be reported the English
birds will nose out with a lead of two
eggs. American breeders are naturally
anxious to see the American birds
win; If they do win, 1t will be the
first time in the history of egg-laying
competitions.
There are twenty-six hens compet-
ing that have laid over 200 eggs each.
The highest individual score to date
has been made by an American White
Wyandotte, 243 eggs having been
credited to her account. OF these
twentysiX high producers, just half
are White Leghorns and six White
Wyandottes, but note please, that
there are 33 pens of the former COM
peting, while there are only five pens
of White Wyandottes.
The Rhode Island Reds of DR.. John
A. Fritchey, of this city, stand TWEEN
tieth in the list of eighty-two pens
and at present they are going at a
merry clip with good chances of bet
tering their position. One of the
Fritchey hens belong to four indi-
viduals that distinguished themselves
in the forty-eighth week, by laying an
egg every day in the week. There
have been no deaths in DIR. Fritchey's
pen during the year while some pens
have lost as many as five birds. A
strong finish and no deaths speak we'll
for the sturdiness of the stock.

Various Good Formulas
For Fattening Fowls

There are various good formulas
for fattening fowls in crates or small
yards. such feeds as are at hand be-
ing usually used. Two parts of finely
ground oats, two parts of ground
buckwheat and one part of cornmeal,
mixed with sour milk to the consist
ency of batter has been recommended
by the Ontario Agricultural College as
very desirable fattening ration.
Equal parts of cornmeaI, middlings
and buckwheat meal, likewise mixed
with milk is also very good ration.
Grit should be given the fowls at least
once a week. The more ground grains
used the better the results, and it has
also been found desirable to mix the
grains with the milk twelve hours be-
fore feeding. Where milk is not avail
able, beef scrap or meat meal may be
substituted in the proportion of not
more than 1 5 per cent. of the whole,
and water used to wet the mash, but
milk gives better results.

HIGH PRICE OF FEED
WORRIES POULTRYMEN
Never Before Was 1t So Impor-
tant to Keep Books on
Each Layer

The high price of all kinds of feed
stuff used in feeding chickens and
other fowls is giving the poultry
keeper something to think about just
at present. Many poultrymen are
showing an inclination to sell off their
flocks, believing that the high price
of feed warrants such a course.
The conditions which poultry keep
ers now face do call for careful cal
culations, and never before was it so
important that in the bookkeeping
there should be an account for each
individual layer instead of single
account for the entire flock. In other
words, feed is very high in price, and
it behooves the poultry keeper to
know without doubt which of his
hens are paying profit and which
are not.
There are hens in every flock that
are poor layers. There are some that
will lay no eggs at all and others that
will lay indifferently. The trap nest
is the only dependable means by
which any poultry keeper can spot
the loafer, but the trap nest is not
practical in a great majority of cases.
One who makes a study of his hens
can in a short time pretty nearly tell
who is who in his flock. The active
fowl is pretty sure to be a good busi-
ness hen. The big eater, as a rule, is
a good layer; a bird that consumes
but little food cannot possibly be a
heavy layer. In the evening go over
the flock and feel the crop of each
bird. Regard with suspicion the bird
the crop of which is not well packed,
If there has been ample opportunity
for it to be otherwise.
Layers with pelvic bones set wide
apart are apt to be prolific. An eX-
treme distance between these bones
is the width of three fingers; when
the distance is less than the width of
two fingers, the bird should be classed
with the suspects.
BY making the most of ones flock
poultry keeping is apt to be more
profitable this winter than ever be-
fore, notwithstanding the high price
of feed. The price of eggs will un-
doubtedly bear a close relation to the
price of feed. Even the fancier need
not fear that his business of produce
ing exhibition stock will be less profit
able than formerly. The supply of
breeding stock and eggs for Matching
will be short next season and his GUS
toners will have to help take care of
the increase in the cost of feed.
