RAISE SQUADS FOR MARKET
First Essential 10 to Have Suitable
House and Yard to Confine Birds
Enforce Cleanliness.

The keeping Of pigeons has become
regular business in some sections,
compared with ten years ago, and g
great deal of interest is now being
taken in the pigeon as q source OF
profit. The first essential is to have
good house and yard, and to have the
yard wired, in order-sto oonfine the
birds. The house should be arranged
to permit of abundant floor rpom, the
nests to be along the Sides The
homer pigeon is largely used, an ex.
cellent mating being the dragon and
homer Be sure that the sexes are
equal, as pigeons pair and keep the
same nests. Mice in the nests must
be guarded against, and lice will de-
stroy all profit. Give nesting ma
terials for the birds, and include to-
bacco leaves, which will assist in
keeping lice away. Fresh insect pow.

nests on the first indication Of lice.
and cleanliness must be enforced.
The yard should be at least ten feet
high, Of any size preferred, and
should have roosting poles at differ
emit heights, on which the birds. may
alight. Keep a salt Goldfish hung

of fact. he has not.
The only measure the governor has
asked the legislature 10 pass are the
revenue measures and he has given
his recommendation only about these
measures. He covers a wide latitude
OF subjects from which, in his opin,
ion the revenue should be raised. and
II he was the boss OF the legislature

not make the solons pass these meas.
ures without further delay.
1t is alright to talk about being boss
Of the West Virginia Legislature but
doing the job Is entirely different
matter.
1t certainly is not invading the leg,
islative functions OF government for
governor to recommend such meas.
use to the legislature as he thinks
should become laws. The chief ex'
ecutiye is the man to suffer II the
pledges his party makes the people
are not redeemed and he has per,
feet right to expect legislature, In
which his party has very large ma,
jority. to keep faith with the people
and redeem its pledges.

WHAT HE HAS DISCOVERED.

The mayors review this morning
does not call for extended comment.
He quotes section after section, and
says 1t is the same, or almost the
same, as the old charter. He has GOV.
cred enough ground. however, already,
to find that the election machinery
is taken away from the city hall
crowd and placed In the hands OF a
board OF supervisors, preventing any
party from domineering the election
boards and ruthlessly overriding the
law. He has discovered that $500 is
saved the tax payers each year on di.
rect fixed salaries, He has found out
that all salaries have a maximum limit.
He has discovered that the people will
have an opportunity TO pick their own
candidates in a fairly conducted pri.
mary election. He has discovered that
the directors OF the future will be re.
CURED to give all their time to the
city for the salaries they receive. It
did not require many changes to make
these provisions, but they were made.
The dropping OF few words from the
old charter makes 1t plain that the
directors cannot hold other salaried
positions without forfeiting their OF.
fee. Il seems from these disclosures
that there have been enough changes
made to cause the present city admin.
istration and the bosses considerable
worry. to say nothing Of the sleepless
nights the Times Is experiencing.

THE JI1NrY.

The word "Jitney" came into the
United States as boys, slang, meaning
nickel, but IL has acquired an en-,
tirely significance in the West and
Southwest In, those sections and a
lot Of other places, the "Jitney" means
an automobile In which one can get
flye.cent ride. m
For some time the Jitney Bus lines
have been in operation In the cities
of Galveston, Fort Worth, Houston
Dallas, Los Angeles, Denver and Sc

spreading through other sections OF
the country. Some time ago a man
by the name OF Gerald Parker, as,
sistant manager OF the bond depart.
ment OF the Commerce Trust com.
pany of Kansas City, returned home
from a business trip to some OF the
Texan cities. He told a reporter oil
the Kansas City Star how the Jltney
was used In the cities Of the South.
west and how traffic managers made
up schedules and assigned cars to
the various routes. The Jitney range
from small Fords to good sized buses,
and the price OF ride is always a
nickel. In one week after Mr.. Par.
ker's interview appeared, over hun.
dred Jitneys were in operation in
Kansas City; and there was traffic
manager in charge who was formerly
traffic superintendent OF the Missouri
Pacific.
The Jitney has now come as near
as Cleveland, Ohio. There the FIVE.
cent auto ride became so popular that
1t lessened the traffic OF the street
railway system and the mayor OF
Cleveland and the city attorney are
considering securing an injunction to
stop the Jitneys,
Here there Is a vague rumor that
the Jitney will soon come. and It will
be interesting to watch the various
complications which may arise. How.
ever, these buses will be welcomed
by great majority OF the people OF
the city. Z In fact, when an automobile
ride can be had for nickel, It will
make most people feel like million.

fencer and had the reputation Of be.

athlete. In his young manhood he

he became a war correspondent In

won the friendship Of Mazzini and
Garibaldi and other prominent Ital-
ians. In 1860 he visited America, and
then proceeded to Australia, where
he served on the staff Of the, Mel
bourne Argus and waged a winning
fight for free education. Since then
he has been prominent in the social
list movement, and in 1881 founded
the Social Democratic Federation. He
was vigorous agitator against the
South African war, and has long op.
posed British imperialism. In the
present war he sees "a choice Of
evils" and concludes that "a victory
for Germany would be far worse for
civilization and humanity than the
success OF the Allies" Mr.. Hyndman
denies that this is, on the part Of the
Allies, a capitalist war" Although
a stern critic Of the present British
government, he declares ut would be
discreditable to deny that It did Its
