- HOSE who become discouraged
at a few failures will seldom
succeed with poultry. Failures
are often met in any line, and poultry
is no exception to this rule. 1t takes
persistence to make a success at any
thing.
Fortune seldom comes to the sloth-
full person. Fortune moves on soon
after the knock upon the door. Those
who would have fortune enter, must
open the door promptly. This is es-
pecially true in poultry raising.
Musty food, mouldy food, and
tainted food of any kind should not
be fed.
Selecting for hardness should be
the main object, health and vigor to
be given the preference in selecting
each individual. The weakest and
most useless of a flock should be
weeded out as SCOT as possible.
The best way to feed cabbage or
beets to poultry is to suspend them
from the ceiling in a bag made of
one-inch mesh netting. In this way
the birds can pick 1t and get food
and exercise at the same time.
Mrs. G.. B. Parks, of La Sale,
Weld County, believes she holds the
record in Matching chicks under hens.
Four hens hatched 81 chickens from
as many eggs. Three of the hens
sat on Is eggs each and one on -,
and every egg brought a chicken
which lived.
It is a good plan to seed the breed
ing yards to rye in the late Summer.
This furnishes an abundance Of green
feed all through the Fall, Winter
and Spring. The yards should be
plowed right now and sowed in late
August at the rate of two and one
half bushels an acre. Wheat seed
ing can be sown in the same way but
rye Is more satisfactory. The chick
ems relish green rye and 1t stimu-
lates laying. We have also noticed
that the eggs from hens ranging on
green rye are highly fertile and hatch
strong, vigorous chicks,
When a bird is debilitated 1t needs
something nourishing to build up the
wasting tissues. There Is nothing
better than a raw fresh egg every
morning until the fowl shows signs
of recovery. Then change off to a
little cooked meat with a little mu-
rate of iron added to the drinking
water. When 1t is noticed that a

chamber would be transacted.
The plan was discussed at a meeting
of the board of directors of the cham
Der last night. The majority of those
present appeared to be heartily in favor
of the idea. The chamber never has

Hundreds Lose Positions.

The result has been, he asserted, that
hundreds of these women have been
thrown out of employment altogether,
as their former wage was found to be
the limit of what their work was worth.
Similar conditions. Mr.. Brown stated,
were brought about in the brush
making industry, where in a single
factory, on the going into effect of the
minimum wage law, 100 women were
discharged, the product of their labor
not being worth the amount fixed by
the minimum wage law.
DIR. McKelway in his rejoinder dis
puted statements made by Mr.. Brown
in regard to certain phases of the
minimum wage law in Oregon and
further said that instead of tending to
grade wages down to the legal mini
nam. as was said by Mr.. Brown to be
the case, minimum wage laws operat-
ed to raise the average wage in in
duStries in which both women and men
are employed.
Labor cost" said DR.. Mckelway, lis,
or should be, the first charge or cost on
an industry. II an industry is not able
to pay to its workers a living wage,
one that will enable the employees to
provide themselves with the reasonable
necessities of life. that industry has no
right to exist. 1t is parasite on the
Industrial and social world, and it
should be Topped off. 1t has no right to
pay it's employees only part of the
wage that is shown by investigation
and experience to be necessary to MAIN
tain such employees. be they women or
men, and expect society in general to
make: up the difference"
Both speakers quoted at length from
court opinions in various states in
which minimum wage laws are opera
tive. and cited reports of minimum
wage commissions to support their con-
tentions, that of Mr.. Brown being that
a statutory minimum wage tends to
unemployment. to grading down all
wages toward the minimum, and that
such laws are unconstitutional, in that
they nullify the right Of employe and en-
ployer to enter into contracts while DR.
McKelway denied all of these contentious
and maintained that the exact reverse
has been proved true in such states as
have enacted and enforced minimum
wage laws.
business session of the club was held
this afternoon, a recess for luncheon being
taken after DR. Mckeway's address

The wife says they lived happily
until 1900. when her husband met the
woman named as correspondent.
He then neglected her. she alleges
until September 20, 1914. when he de-
serted her and the children, she asserts.
An agreement was then signed, by
which the husband was to pay S5oo
monthly for the support OF MS 1amily.
Mrs Dyar asks the court to grant her
adequate alimony and to enJoln her
husband from disposing of his real es-
tate, an dto prevent the alleged core
spondent from transferring property IN

longs to her husband.

EFFECT Of MINIMUM
WAGE LAW IS DEBATED
Tends to Unemployment, Rome G..
Brown Tells Twentieth
Century Club.
DR.. A. ]. McKelway, in Rejoinder,
Declares Statute Operates to
Raise Average Wage.

Hundreds of women have been thrown
out of work, others into partial employ
nent, and many industries have been 50
seriously crippled as to compel their sus
pension through the workings of the Mas
sachusetts minimum wage law, accord
ing to the declaration of Rome G.
Brown before the Twentieth Century
Club today at its first fall meeting in
All Souls Church. Mr.. Brown is the
attorney for the appellants in the Ore
gon minimum wage law case now
pending before the Supreme Court of
the United States after having been
declared constitutional by the Oregon
courts.
DIR. A. ]. McKelway of this city, the
other speaker at the meeting, took di-
ametrically opposite views of the eff
fects of minimum wage legislation, as
serting that any industry which is un-
able to support it's employes-labor
cost. as he declared. being the first cost
on any industry-was not worthy to
survive.
in his address Mr.. Brown showed that
woman workers in candy factories in
Massachusetts, whose work was to
place the nut kernels on the tops of
chocolates and bonbons, formerly re-
ceived from 81 to $3.50 per week, &C
cordng to the amount of work DONE
the average being about IS week.
Under the operations of the Massachu-
setts minimum wage law. he said, these
women were not permitted to work for
less than sS.75.

today addressed the convention of the American Prison Association.
 "As soon as a moral weakling is discovered our first efforts should be to overcome his weakness before it forces him into an active criminal career" said Judge Prick" I enter tain little hope of ever reforming a confirmed criminal.
 Man of Honor.
 'In view that there are some among those who are sentenced to prison who have a sincere desire to avoid further crimes, there are many among which number are some prison officials, who have conceived the idea that all men are the same and since some can be trusted all may be, and therefore, all that is required to re- form a criminal Is to place unstrict- ed trust and confidence in him. That Is, all that is needed to reform him is to call him a man of honor. ... and, presto change, he becomes a man of honor. Such a method of dealing with confirmed criminals Is as pernicious in practice as it Is H. logical in reason. It treats an ab- normal human being as though he we're poIl0CIly LhO AOoolI Is that it sets at large the most dangerous criminals to deal with.
 T have become thoroughly con- vinced that the general or indiscrim- mate application of the so-called a delusion and a snare. It is a crime against organized society. More over it is of no practical benefit to ,tvo I,i deal with that class is merely to tempt them. To say to the con- firmed criminal Go, I trust in your honor,' Is mere waste of confidence. No man can yield that which he does not possess. No one, not even a re- former, can breathe honor into a rogue.
 Must Modify Conditions.
 we shall never be able to lessen crime very much until we heed and modify the conditions which cause crime. In the nature of things will prevail just as long as man exists We may, however, better the environment of those who are born with a lack of moral force and a ten- dencv to do wrong and in that way lessen both crime and criminals. Above all we should carefully guard and make harmless the confirmed criminal by preventing him from go- ing at large and from indulging in his evil propensities. Instead of con fining that class, however, some of our pseudo-reformers have sought to decorate them with a badge of honor by giving them the advantage of so-called honor system. A dozen or that class set at large in one state will commit more serious crimes than will ten times that number of or dinary criminal weddings. Yet the so-calIed reform goes merrily on.
 "In justice to a large majority or our prison officials it should be said, however, that they do not endorse the application of the so- called honor system"

different states.''
 Problem Still Remains.
 Answering the argument that the railroad transportation business is of such a national character that it requires a single national tribunal to regulate it, MT. Thorne said:
 "One sentence will contain an an- swer to claims of this character, that it Is difficult to separate the ex- penses on local and through hauls; Even after you have removed the state lines, the problem of reasonable local rates still remains.
 'The real issue is practical" he said, rather than theoretical in char acter. It is not whether we shall abolish all state regulation; but, in stead, whether this or that is a prop CT function to be performed by the state. It is a wholly new and un- heard of proposition to do away with state regulation. This is a doctrine that jeopardizes our institutions
 Wise Regulation.
 "The great benefit urged on behalf of exclusive national control Is uni formity. But there is something even better and more important than uni formity and that is wise regulation. Rates may be uniformly high or uni formly low: Rules of service may be uniformly harsh and rigid, or uni
New Britain herald., 1915-10-12

formly lax and weak. Proof that they are uniform does not prove that they are just.
 '"The real problem is how to get wise regulation. Will a strong cen tralized government bring the best re- suits, or is the federal plan-joining national and state control-prefer- able. The issue concerns the method of government, one of the profound problems at the basis of all organ ized human life.'
