ANTTN WILL
 GIVE LECTURE HERB
Author of 'TThe Promised Land" En- gagged By Commonwealth Club
 to Speak Feb. 19.

Miss Mary Antin, the author of "The Promised Land" and one of the most optimistic and inspiring speak CTS on the immigration problem, win give an address at the Grammar school hall Tuesday. Feb. 19, und'W the auspices of the Commonwealth club. The decision to engage Miss Antin was made yesterday afterno oon at the meeting of the executive com mittee of the club
 It has been said that the most im- portant contribution made to our lit erature on the Americanizing of foreigners is that of Mary Antin. She came to the United States with her parents from Russia twenty years ago when a child of thirteen and in six teen years she had produced the book which made her reputation. One of the members of the Commonwealth club who heard her speak in Boston recently said to day that her appeal made her audience almost frantic and so disturbed him that he was unable to work for the rest of the day
 Miss Antin's lecture will be open to the public and tickets of admission will eb placed on sale shortly. It is believed that the interest in Mary An tin and her work will be sufficient to attract an exceptionally large audi ence.
 The executive committee has also engaged another speaker for March 1, Dr. James l.. Tryon, the New Eng land director of the American Peace society, who will speak on Peace" at a banquet to be held at the Y. M. c. A. The supper will be held at 6:3O for members of the club and at 8 o'clock the doors will be thrown open to the public for the lecture. pr. Tryon was in Europe at the time the European war started and presents the peace subject from the most re- cent angles. He is a brother of W. P. Tryon, the former teacher in the New Britain High school, who is now a musical critic on Boston paper Miss Lillian Hart, of this city became the bride of MT. Tryon.

 After the contest tfe losers provided q chicken dinner at Bardeck's hall. They also hurled another challenge at Captain Stafford and with true southern gaIlantry he accepted on be- half of his valiant followers.

CHIEF DAME TELLS POLICE SUSPICION Fire on Washington Street SaVorS
 Strongly of IRGendiaIEm.

Although during the past week or two there have been no less than three bad fires in this city, the origin of which has not been ascertained and incendiarism is strongly suspected by Chief Robert D. Dame of the fire because of the almost impossible necessity of fastening the guilt upon person. The suspicious fire which occurred in the old Gaffney house of Washington street last evening, start ing simultaneously in three beds in three different rooms, with no way of last straw and this morning Chief Dame reported the circumstances to the chief of police. Detective Ser geant Samuel Bamforth was detailed to make an investigation and to- gether with Chief Dame he went thor oughly over the premises and close ly questioned the occupants of the tenement. They all maintained that they knew nothing of the fire and no discriminating evidence could be ob- tained
 Cuts Hand in Escaping.
 The house where the fire occurred last night is occupied upstairs by Mrs. Sullivan, wife of ex-Fire Chief Sul- livan, who died several months ago. It was she who, upon noticing that her rooms were filled with smoke, gave the alarm. In her frantic ef- fort to escape. she pushed her hand through a pane of glass and badly lac erated one finger.
 Beds Mysteriously Afire.
 It was in the downstairs tenement that the fire was. When the de- partment arrived they found the place locked up and had to break in Three unconnected bed rooms were filled with smoke and in each room the bed was afire. A decidedly peculiar feature was that despite the fact that all three beds were destroyed the in terior of the rooms were not dam aged in the least. The wood work was not burned and few paint blisters was the extent of the dam age. Even the ceilings were not smoked up and the highly inf1amable lace curtains hanging near by were not scorched. Everything consid- cred, this fire was one of the most curious and afforded one of the best cases for suspected arson, of any that have occurred lately.
 From their investigation, Detective Bamforth and Chief Dame discovered that the family of Salvatore Lentinie, occupying the down stairs apartments, where the fire occurred, were out at the time. They proved that they left home at 7:30 o'clock and it was

was discovered.
 Carried Heavy Insurance.
 Another significant fact in connec- tion with this blaze is that the insur- ance carried by the family was greater than the value of the articles insured. One boarder, in whose bed one of the fires was, had his furniture insured for $500 and the other room where there was blaze was insured for a like amount. The insurance on the furniture is carried by Afford and Lockwood and Hatch has the insur- ance on the house.
 Under one of the beds Chief Dame found a little patch of scorched wood work but how it came there the ten ants could not tell.
 Explains CD Other Fire.
 It is peculiar that several months ago there was another fire in this same tenement and that too, started iE a bed. At the time the family said they could offer no explanation but this morning they had thought up one for the previous fire. They said that an old shoe was under the bed and it caught fire. How? How should they know?

Charlottesville Mo-, Progressive

According to the Caruthers-
vile Democrat" that city, on
January 26th, voted to authorize
the issuance of $62, 900 bonds
for sewarge construction by a
vote of 527 to IS.
Every ward in the city gave a
decided majority for the propo-
sition, and from the opening to
the close of the polls, there was
never a doubt but what the bond
issue would be adopted. AS a
rule, the people of all classes
we're eager that this improve
ment made, and they so express
ed themselves at the polls.
I Charlottesville is located in
southeast Missouri, and practi-
cally nothing is raised besides
cotton. Their business condi-
tons are the same as ours.
They voted the bonds, first, be-
cause they need the sewerage
system, second, because there
could be no better time than the
present for such a large amount
of money to be spent within the
City, which will give employ
ment to labor that is now idle.
A vote for sewers is a vote for
Okolona.

Breeds and Feeds.

Many disappointments that arrive via
the egg basket would never come to
yex the soul and drain the pocketbook
of the poultryman if the fact were
realized that an excellent laying ration
for Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
other heavy breeds may not be equally
satisfactory when fed to Leghorns and
other light breeds. Fat-forming ele-
ments that have no detrimental effects
on the Mediterraneans soon render
fowls of the heavy breeds hog fat"
in which condition no hen can be ex-
pected to lay.
Adaptation of feeds to breeds is a
matter that should appeal to the COM
mon sense of the poultryman. Bal
anced rations that are supposed to con-
tain all the necessary elements of a
general purpose feed, or of an egg
producing ration, are in reality no
such thing. Such rations have to be
modified according to individual condi-
tions. if best results are to be OBJ
tanned; and chief among the consider
ations is the question of breed.
Larger amounts of corn and other
fat-forming elements may with i'm
punity be fed to Leghorns and the
light breeds than would be safe in the
breeds. For the latter, reduce the fat
forming content of the ration and re-
place 1t with proteins. For the heavy
breeds the proportion of beef scrap,
gluten meal and wheat bran In the dry
mash may be considerably increased,
almost to the vanishing point. Addi-
tional quantities of mealed alfalfa may
also be used in the dry mash. In the
grain ration the proportion of corn,

JOURNALISTS KNOWLEDGE.
Liberal Education and AlI-Embrac
ing Information Required.
q, th. snr,nufield Rennhlican


Sound advice was given by New York
editors at the annual conference of
teachers Of Journalism held at Colum-
bia University. Charles r. Miller, editor
of the New York Times, urged the i'm
portance of a liberal education, and
Frank H. Simonds Of the Evening
Sun made it clear that the journalist
could never know too much if he would
keep abreast of the times. That is the
trouble with the journalists position
he never knows, being far too modest
to profess gift of prophecy-what
new surprise time will have ready next,
and the only safe course is to do his
best to be prepared for anything. For
this reason definite, closely circum-
scribed body of knowledge, the possess
sion of which qualities one for jour-
nalistic practice, is not easily to be
prescribed.
There are certain staples to be sure,
and Mr.. Miller, who spoke specially of
editorial writing, commented upon the
fact that nowadays nearly every edi-
torial writer Is familiar with the
principles of Internal tional and con-
stitutional law. 1t would be impossi-
Bile, he thought, for many of them to
fall in blunders such as were made by
nearly every newspaper in the coun-
try during the civil war, in defending
the seizure of the Confederate commits
sioners, Mason and Slidell. from the
British steamer Trent. 1t is difficult in
peace to judge how brains will func-
ton in wartime. but 1t is likely that he
Is right. Certainly there has been
great diffusion of interest in these
basic subjects, and writer's wholly
ignorant of them are not likely to
command a hearing on a quetsion re-
lating to public affairs.
But not even in this field, important
as 1t is, can the journalist specialize in
the narrow sense, and while for every
writer there are doors which he must
recognize as definitely closed, subjects
which it is safer for him to leave alone,
the field of his curiosity can hardly be
too large, nor his store OF facts, ideas,
impressions and opinions too great.
But one thing which the New York
editors in their sensible addresses
seem to have overlooked, Is the funda-
mental importance, for journalist, of
knowing what he does not know. To
be ignorant of a million things is not
so dangerous as to know one pesky
little thing wrong. Half-knowledge
NAV be as good as full knowledge; the
faintest and haZiest recollection OF a
fact or a name or a passage read long
ago may serve perfectly II it gives a
ciew. But a fact or a name or a quota
siye clearness, may be the cause of dis
aster. Other writer's have time to cor
rect their blunders; the writer for the
press is obliged to do his best to avoid
them from the outset. A journalist can
hardly know too much, but he can
asily know too many things that are
not so.

Spartans Kept in Trim.

From tue fhliaoeiphia inquirer.
The ancient Spartans paid as much
attention to the rearing of men as cat
tie dealers in this country and Eng
land. in modern times, do the breeding
Of cattle. They took charge of firm
ness and looseness of mems flesh, and
regulated the degree of fatness to
which it was lawful. in a free state,
for any citizen to extend his body
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military exercise and the
service of Sparta were soundly whipped.
In one particular instance, that of
Nauclis. the son of Polytus, the offender
was brought before the Ephori and a
meeting of the whole people of Sparta.
at which his unlawful fatness was pub.
licly exposed, and he was threatened
with perpetual banishment if he did
not bring his body within the regular
Spartan compass, and give up his cul-
pable mode of living, which was de.
clared to be more worthy Of an Ionian
than a son of Lacedaemon.
