Ippeachmen&.

In England it was the ola practice to impeach for conduct out of office. Private citizens could be impeached. pr. Sacheverell was impeached for preaching an unpopular sermon, the Duke of Richmond for proposing an adjournment of the house of lords and Inigo Jones for tearing down a church. But in America impeachment has been restricted to men in office for conduct in office-Argonaut.

MANSFIELD.

It may seem far cry from baby chicks to laying contests. Inasmuch, however, as breeders from Oonnecti- cut, Mass. Maine, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Mich igan, and Washington have already indicated their desire to send compe- tition pens for the next laying compe- tition it appears that these breeders are interested early because this is the season for matching and rearing the bullets that are to lay eggs next autumn. It may be remarked inci- ilentally that the poultryman who can successfully hatch and rear chicks is in perhaps all cases the successful breeder because this is the most diff cult phase of poultry keeping. It is not only necessary that we have good breeding stock which will produce good matching eggs, and that they be matched in a good incubator which will give strong vigorous chicks, and that they be we'll brooded, but they must be so fed as to grow cOntinu- ously from matching time to matur- ity. These are the formulas used by the Storrs Experiment Station:

AMERICAN FLAG RAISED
OVER STEAMER "CARTAGO'
First Ship Sailing Out Of South
ern Port Between New Or
leans and Panama Canal.

Mr.. K. l. Tarry of the Cham.
ber of Commerce has a letter
from the New Orleans Associa-
ton of Commerce containing a
copy of their telegram of yester-
day to the President of the
United States notifying him that
the first American flag to be
raised in any Southern port over
a ship operating between the
United States and the Panama
Canal was yesterday raised over
the steamship "Cartago" of the
United Fruit Company line.
The telegram thanks and con.
graduates the president that his
wise administration has so modi-
fled the navigation laws as to
make it possible that tonnage
may be carried under the Amer.
lean flag in competition with
ships of other nations. This
marks the beginning of a new
era especially in the South and
is gratifying in the midst of the
distress caused by the European
war. Thus we are beginning 10
reap the benefit of the foreign
disturbances which were not of
our seeking but may be to our
profit.
This points to the use by the
South of the Panama Canal and
the opening of a new business
for US.

first of the week for Vanderbilt
