PREDICT
The Reelection Of Ferris,
Democratic Governor OF
Michigan

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 17-Except
among politicians who are compelled
by their affiliations to proclaim vic
tory for their party no matter what
the circumstances, it is generally con-
ceded that Governor Woodbridge N.
Ferris, Democrat, will be reelected In
November. Analysis of the primary
results, and of the results of the last
two elections, makes this feeling
stronger daily.
Complete returns frol, the Upper
Peninsula, which gave Chase S. Os-
born a large plurality when he was
elected governor four years ago, show
that he received less than a third of
the Republican vote there this year.
The copper country evidently feels
that it owes a debt of gratitude to
Governor Ferris for sending the State
troops into the mining district at the
time of the strike, in defiance of
threats of the Western Federation of
Miners and other unions, and saving
the district from protracted bloodshed
and anarchy.
When Mr.. Osborn ran in 1910, he
was supposed to have the full Re
publican strength behind him. Yet,
while most of the candidates on the
State ticket received pluralities ex-
ceeding 10000, the normal Republi-
can margin in Michigan from 1900
to 1910, Mr.. Osborn gained his victory
by only $4,000 plurality against a
much weaker candidate than Cover
nor Ferris.

well worn, 10.
Skin-Smooth. pliable, 2.
Plumage-Strong, clean, bright, bird
should be well feathered in all sec
tons, s.
Total, 100.
No one should select from breeder
specimen that has the following
characteristics: Long, slim back,
crown or snake head, sleepy eyes, long
neck, narrow chest, wedge shaped
back, pinched tail, long, slim legs and
toes, extremely shallow abdomen, or
bird that is deformed in any way. Spe-
cimens of this description either have
undesirable heredity taints,,. have been
grown under conditions that are far
from ideal or have become overloaded
with disease germs or worms.
Observe the fowls closely as they
walk about. Do not leave droopy
chicken in the breeding pen. If the
male lifts his legs high and pushes
them forward before putting them to
the ground the joints are affected and
he is apt to be troubled with rheuma-
tism. Such specimens, in time, be-
come unable to fertilize the eggs, and
owners wonder why the fertility is
low.
In addition to the constitutional
health and vigor one should know
something of the immediate ancestors
of his breeding fowls. If one could
start with those of good breeding and
growing back of them he should do so
by all means. For years it has been
considered that males should be Sc
lected from the best layers. Recent
investigations have not only shown
that this theory is we'll grounded, but
have proved beyond doubt that the
male contributes as much to the egg
laying qualities of the daughters as
the mother, and in many instances
more. Hence, in selecting and mating
fowls you should know their breeding,
but even the best bred fowls are apt
to be weak, so that the point of con-
stitutional vigor cannot be overlooked.

FREE GARDEN SEED
AND HOT AIR
Congressman Hatton w. Summers
Tried to Knock Out Free Garden
Seed as Bats for Votes.

Washington, March 11.-Represent-
alive Summers started trouble on the
> floor of the House yesterday afternoon
when he sought to have eliminated
from the agricultural appropriation
bill the item calling for free seeds for
distribution by the members of Con-
gress among their constituents. The
friends OF the souvenir seeds rallied
in support of the measure and voted
the Dallas statesman down, but not
without hot running fight.
Summers made the point of order
that the section OF the present appro-
priation bill is new legislation and
does not properly belong upon such
a measure. He declared the law gives
the right to distribute seeds ex-
clusively to the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. but under the appropriation bill
100000 is set aside for the purpose
of garden seed, five-sixths OF which
shall be distributed by the Congress
men and one-sixth by the Secretary.
The point of order being overruled.
Summers then moved to strike the
section from the bill but in this he
was voted down. but the crafty Repre-
sentatives who desire the free seed.
or rather government purchased seed.
prevented a roll call. defeating Sum-
ners by rising vote.
In his argument, the Texas Repre-
sentative declared 1t should be the
purpose of Congress to legislate for
the great agricultural department in
a constructive way Instead OF making
1t an adjunct to campaigns for re-
election. He said the farmer had al
ways been dealt with as though he
could be easily misled and that mis-
take had been made in treating him
as other than a business man. He
said he was tired of giving the farmer
garden seed and hot air. His appeal,
however, fell upon deaf ears.
Secretary Houston is on record as
being opposed to the old practice of
the free distribution of garden seed
by Representatives and he asked the
House Committee on Agriculture to
omit the 100000 item from the bill.
His wishes were disregarded, but TO
please him a goodlyi sum was added
to the measure which is to be used
by the Secretary in the distribution
of rare and unusual seeds and plants.
The pending appropriation bill will
be disposed of by the House within
the next day or two.

GOV. WILL H. MAYES
IN THE CITY
Here Attending Meeting Of Board OF
Control of Texas Experiment
Stations.

Lieutenant Governor viii H. Mayes
of Brentwood arrived in the city last
night directly from his home. There
was no political significance in his
visit here at this time, his business
being to attend a meeting at the col
lege of the Board of Control of the
Texas Experiment Stations, of which
he is chairman
The Governor paid The Eagle office
a pleasant call and took a look
through the plant. Being an old
newspaper man himself and steadily
in the harness for many years, he did
not feel equal to the duties of the day
without first being stimulated with
few whiffs of printers ink.
Among other things the Governor
told how it felt to be eliminated,
laughingly stating that 1t did not hurt
very bad, and really felt good when
it quit hurting. He says he still be-
lieves he would have been elected
Governor IL he had not gone into the
elimination convention, and is posi-
tive of it, II there had been no elimi-
mating movement. Being prohibit
zionist. however. there was nothing
else to do but take the course he did
after the movement assumed such
widespread proportions.
Mr.. Mayes does not think 1t was
due to Colonel Balls position on the
Bailey question that gave him the
nomination, but rather because the
Bailey question eliminated Cullen
Thomas. making him an mpossibility.
Also Colonel Balls leadership in the
submission movement contributed
largely to his designation by the pros.
When asked as to a special session
of the Legislature, Governor Mayes
said he did not doubt in the least but
what there would be an extra session.
He thinks Governor Colquitts mind
was fully made up on this point be
fore his declaration in Dallas last Sat
urday. He does not believe. however
that it is the proposed amendment to
the Terrell election law requiring ma
jority nominations, that is influencing
the Governor in reassembling the
Legislature. There are other things,
he says. the Governor desires to have
done to aid him in his administration
After meeting number of people
in the city and visiting the court
house where the district court was in
session. Governor Mayes proceeded to
the college to attend the board meet
ing above mentioned.

government under the Stars and
Stripes. Having accomplished this, he
returned to Tennessee, then his home.
Without censuring General Jack
son, the government restored Pensa.
cola and St. Marks to Spain, and the
Spaniards were put in possession.
Shortly thereafter, however, Florida
was ceded to the United States, and
General Jackson was made Provision
al Governor. He served little more
than a year, and was succeeded. upon
the establishment of a territorial gov
erment, by William P. Duval as Gov
erno:.
In 1922 number of pioneers held
a meeting here and decided to start
the work of building town. The vii.
lage was then known as the Cow Ford,
a name given to 1t by the Indians.
After perfecting an organization, the
Incorporation unfurled the banner of
Jacksonville, in honor of General
Jackson, who had made it possible for
white men to live here.
When the Confederate soldiers and
their friends meet here for the twen-
ty-fourth annual reunion, Jacksonville
will impress them with all the force
of Andrew Jackson. 1t is now a mod
ern. progressive city of $4,000 popu-
lation, one of the thriving business
centers of the New. South. Its varied
attractions will delight all who attend
the reunion, and no matter how large
the crowd may be, Jacksonville will
take care Of all.

SOME INTERESTING HISTORY.
Andrew jackson and Jacksonville,
Fla, Meeting Place Of Reunion.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 4.-Con-
.federate soldiers, the world over, re-
we're the name of Andrew Jackson,
and in view OF the fact that their next
reunion is to be held in the only city
in the South that was named in honor
of that great and brave man, his serv-
ices in freeing Florida from the blight
of Indian barbarism will be of interest.
Jacksonville was named for General
Andrew Jackson as a compliment and
mark of appreciation for services he
rendered to civilization in the Semi
mole war. There could have been no
progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work of Andrew Jackson. Con-
dtions in this territory in 1918, near
ly hundred years ago. demanded the
services OF brave and resolute man.
General Jackson was selected by the
government as the one man above all
others to head the movement against
the Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
years and committing atrocities OF the
most brutal character.
In March, 1918. General Jackson was
ordered to the site of the Seminole
war. He invaded East Florida, and in
a campaign OF less than six weeks
crushed these Indians. 1t is related
by historians that in one village, not
far removed from Jacksonville, he
found 300 scalps of men, women and
children, many of them still fresh,
hanging on war pole. General Jack
son knew that the Spaniards were in
sympathy with the Indians in their at
tacks on American settlers. After
cleaning up number of Indian vii.
lagos he captured the Spanish post
of st. Marks. For this he was severe
ly censured by his government How
ever. the naked fact is that "Old
Hickory" was more courageous than
the men who were conducting the az
fairs of state at washington.
Early in May, 1918, General Jackson
closed his campaign against the Semi.
noles in East Florida. He had COM
pletely broken their power and run
them out Of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
General Jackson obtained satisfactory
evidence that Spanish officers at Pen
sacola were in sympathy with the In.
dians. He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them lesson.
The Spanish Governor OF West Flori.
da, learning Of General Jackson's pur-
pose. sent him written protest
against his invasion. This protest is
now on file among the Jackson docu.
ments in charge OF the Tennessee His.
torical Society at Nashville. The pro-
test was delivered to General Jackson
near Pensacola on May %, but II had
no effect on that determined man. In
reply he sent peremptory demand
for the immediate surrender Of Pen.
sacola and possessed It. Two days
later the Barrancas garrison .capitu-
lated. were received as prisoners Of
war and sent to Havana.
Having thus snatched both East and
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, General Jackson at once
proceeded to establish provisional

SELECTING AND MATING OF
FOWLS.

Practical poultrymen now quite gen
orally concede that ones success in in
cubating, brooding and growing chick
ems depends very largely upon the vi.
tally of the breeders, especially If
diseases does not enter as an impor-
rant factor. Therefore, constitutional
vigor should be the basis for the Sc
lecting and mating of our breeding
stock.
How are we to measure constitution
al health? There is but one absolute
method and that is to test our stock
during the pullet and cockerel year.
Then the second year use these tested
specimens for our breeding flocks.
What we term tested hen is one
that has been trap-nested to determine
the number of eggs laid, her eggs test
ed for fertility and her chicks tested
for INABILITY, rapid and continuous
growth By a tested male we mean
one which has been tested for the
same points as the hen, except egg
production, and in addition to these
points the performance of his daugh-
tiers, which is the supreme test for the
male.
Inasmuch as the average poultryman
oonco, rasort to sucb cciantffic matI.
DDS, there are other ways by which
he can determine fairly accurately the
vitality and worth OF HIS breeders. One
Of the most important of these is gen.
eral appearance and shape. There is
a very close relationship between
shape and vitality. BY shape | do not
mean those characteristics that sepa-
rate our birds into varieties and
breeds, but the points that indicate
constitutional health and vigor. Such
points and the relative values of each,
are brought out clearly in the follow
ing score, which is used at the Texas

stitutional vigor for fowls:
