Armed Peace Condemned.

Armed peace was condemned by DR..
Clark in uncompromising language.
What is the price being paid for de-
pendence on this ridiculous theory" he
questioned. Credit is gone. Indus
tries of the world are stilled. Famine,
like stalking skeleton. IS marching
all the way from Jerusalem to London.
Millions of men are hunting, wounding
and numbering one another. Homes are
destroyed. Childhood is b1ighted. Wom-
anhood is heartbroken. Such Is the
price paid for materialism which is
synonymous with mihtarism. Such is
the price paid for that damnable heresy
which holds that the way. to peace is
through being prepared for war. Such
is the price paid to satisfy the war
mad contractors and manufa cturers,
who. with millionaires, back the gigan-
tic rnonopolistic trade in armament and
in implements of war.
THE thunder of the war is altogether
out of proportion to the number of in
dividuals who instigated the noise
Twenty or thirty military individuals
have dictated to the European people
what must be done. For thirty years
past these same leaders have wrung
from their people 36,592,000.00o to make
for peace by being prepared for war.

Single Comb Rhode Island Reds

This breed of poultry was originated
more than so years ago by the practi-
cal breeders in the Little Champion
district of Rhode Island. 1t is today
one of the famous American breeds
After years of practical use, some fam
ciers bred them for exhibition in the
sos and in 1892 they were shown in
Philadelphia as golden Bluffs
One class of breeders took up the
breed and developed from them the
modern buff Plymouth Rocks and
buff Wyandottes, while others still
further developed them into the
Rhode Island Reds, all having as
antecedents the Leghorns, Malays,
etc, crossed in Cochin and Brahma,
etc other crosses were made with
Brown Leghorns and Indian games,
until the resulting red hens of Rhode
Island became more famous than the
Jersey blues Of the Bucks County
fowls, of Pennsylvania, which really,
comparatively, were of the same
origin as the Rhode Island Reds.
Like all American breeds of poul-
try, Rhode Island Reds were originat-
ed with perfection of utility value as
the uppermost thought. They lay big
brown eggs. and many flocks and in
dividuals have made high records for
years work. The chicks, when
Matched, are strong and vigorous.
They are hardy and develop rapidly
being one of our best varities Tor the
production of broilers. They make
consistent rapid growth and when full
grown weigh: Males, seven and one
half to eight and one-half pounds;
females, five to six and one-half
pounds. Many specimens exceed
these weights. The pullets mature
and lay we'll This breed is one of
the very best for the small backyard
poultry men. The hens can be de-
pended upon to produce plenty of eggs
at all seasons and the chicks Will fur
nish toothsome meals at any stage,
from broiler size until full grown.

A FRIEND

A friend is person who Is for you
| under any suspicion. He never in
vestigates you when charges are made
against you. He does not ask proof
He asks the accuser to clear out. He
likes you just as you are; he does not
want TO alter you. Whatever kind OF
coat you are wearing suits him;
whether you have on a dress-suit or a
hickory shirt with no collar, he thinks
it's fine. He likes your moods and en-
joys your pessimism as much as your
optimism He likes your success, and
your failure endears you to him the
more. He is better than a lover, be-
cause he is never jealous. He wants
nothing from you except that you be
yourself. He is the one being with
whom you can feel safe. With him
you can utter your heart, its badness
and it's goodness; you don't have to be
careful. In his presence you can be
indiscreet, which means you can rest.
There are many faithful wives and
husbands; there are few faithful
friends.
Friendship is the most admirable,
amazing and rare article among hui
man beings. Anybody may stand by
you when you are right; a friend
stands by you when you are wrong.
The highest known form Of friendship
is that of the dog to his master. You
are in luck if you can find one man or
one woman on earth who has that
kind of affection for you and fidelity
to you. Like the shade of great tree
in the MONDAY heat is a friend. Like
the home port with your country's flag
flying. after long journey, is friend.
A friend is an impregnable citadel Of
refuge in the strife of existence 1t is
he who keeps alive your faith in
human nature; who makes you believe
it is a good universe. He is the anti
dote of dispair and elixir of hope; the
tonic for depression; the medicine to
cure suicide. When you are vigorous
and spirited you like to take your
pleasure with him; when you are in
trouble, you want to tell him. When
you are sick, you want to see him;
when you are dying you want him
near You give to him without reluc-
lance and borrow from him without
embarrassment
If you can live fifty years and find
one absolute friend, you are fortunate,
for of the thousands of human Great
ures that crawl the earth, few are
made OF such stuff.

do you know a remedy for egg
eating hens?"
An axe is the surest way of treat
ing birds that have the habit of eating
eggs. The vice is usually caused by
eggs being broken accidentally. The
hens eat them, and acquire an APP
petite for more. Then they learn to
break the eggs themselves. One hen
will see another doing it, and so the
habit often spreads from one bird to
another. 1t is a good idea to watch
for the one or two which seem to be
doing the mischief, and either kill
them or separate them from the rest
of the flock.
Dark nests help to prevent egg eat
ing. This may not cure the habit af-
ter ii is well formed, but ii will pre-
vent it. Plenty of nests should be
provided. so that none will have to
deposit the eggs on the floor where
they are apt to get broken accidental
ly. See that the birds have grit and
shell forming material in their ration.
so that their appetites will not be crav-
ing for the material they find in the
egg shells.

Thanks to the far seeing wisdom
and the untiring persistence OF few
men, the gospel of good roads" is
now an accepted fact
Nothing better illustrates the pro-
gressive spirit Of the rural commu-
mites Of western Michigan than the
splendid highways that lead out into
the country from almost every city
and village in that district. Their
road prosperity is reflected in the
character of their other improve
ments Good farm buildings come as
natural consequence with good roads.
Better and more easily kept horses are
a natural result. and good roads in
culcate pride in the farmers along
the line that cannot be beaten for use
fulness in building up community.
Good highways mean fully as much
TO the farmer as do railroads and boat
transportation facilities The enor-
nous saving which they effect in the
haulage of produce to the nearest
loading center is an economy which
the farmer cannot afford TO neglect
and still flourish. The farmers of the
western part of the state have shown
that they appreciate and understand
this economy. Consequently their
lands have increased in value. 1t has
been said that Good highways are
the keynote TO community's pros
perity" and that The freight rate be-
gins at the farmers door" All of the
traffic of a country both local and
foreign must at some time or other
pass over the rural highway.
1t is a well known fact that under
the state law a reward is offered for
every mile of road built according to
specifications furnished by its high
way commissioner as follows: $1,000
per mile for a macadam road, $3.50
for highway surfaced with Stag from
the iron furnaces, and $500 for the road
built of gravel. The last Michigan
legislature passed the Trunk Line
Highway Bill which provides in addi-
ton to the foregoing. for the building
of ten trunk line roads, having a wa
gon track sixteen feet wide, on which
the state will pay double the above
reward. Provision was also made for
repair tax. Most of the state will

soon be covered with good roads Like
the arteries OF the body they will
serve the remote sections connectine
them with the great centers. Then
the last frontier will disappear. The
farm and the farmer will have de-
veloped the long unclaimed fertility az
the country The farm and the far
mer are necessity. Neither OF them
can be dispensed with. The great
manufacturing plants could be remov-
ed, ocean travel could be abandoned
and men could cease to try To navigate
the air but without the farmer and his
farm the world would soon be an un-
inhabitable wilderness. There is no
occupation less hazardous than agri-
culture, nor one which returns more
certain revenue for it's labor rightly
done. And nowhere are the returns
better or more permanent for the
amount invested in money and labor
than in this part of Michigan. And
nowhere in the state does the farmer
need to pay more attention To the
building OF roads than in IOnia county
The manufacturers in the cities Of the
county appreciate this fact, the COM
mon city dweller appreciates it, the
laborer in the factory and all other
commercial activities appreciate the
good that improved highways will do
them but the farmers Of the county
refuse to have the offered help in
benefiting their farms and themsel-
yes. The city dweller can benefit in
a/year, at most, only "A few dollars. yet
he is willing TO help the farmer build
a road that will mean hundreds If dol

1--WE have few hens. and they are
affected with bowel trouble. Some
times the feathers come out, leaving
them bare. Please give us some in

These hens have indigestion. Keep
ing the hen house clean is most i'm
portant to prevent the ravages Of lice,
which aggravate all diseases. Possibly
overlooking is the cause of this in
digestion. If a flock is. made up of
birds of different ages, ration which
