Kansas Hen Day

Saturday, October 30, will be
kansas Hen Day." 1t will
mark the beginning of state
wide campaign to make Kansas
the leading poultry state in the
Union.
The me mbers of the Kansas
State Poultry federation believe
that Kansas is potentially the
greatest poultry state in the
Union. They argue that mas
much as Kansas is already the
leading wheat state IN the Union.
and inasmuch as wheat is the
best of all poultry foods, and
since the climate conditions
which are best for wheat are
best tor poultry, it naturally fol-
lows that the poultry industry
should reach it's highest degree
of develoy ment in the ''Sunfllow'
er State"
Those who have studied the
situation carefully, aver that all
that is required in order to bring
about this highly desirable end
is to so organize the poultry
raisers OF the state that syste
matte educational campaign may
be carried on, and a universal
interest aroused in the cause OF
better poultry and more of it,
This gigantic, yet worthwhile
task. the federation is ready tC
undertake, and hopes to carry
through to successful compile
ton. The first gun of the pro
posed campaign will be fired or
Saturday. October 30, and the
day is to be known as kansas
Hen Day" On that day The
poultry raisers of each commu
nlty are asked to meet for the
purpose of forming poultry
club. and of discussing ways ant
means of improving the poultry
industry locally. Later county
organizations will be perfected
1t is hoped that at least one. popl
try show and institute will be
held IN each county in the state
during the coming winter. The
federation, through its state
organizer, will be glad to assist
in for ming local and county as
sociations, and will offer silver
cups and medals at the show:

campaign.

Another drenching rain de-
scended upon this section of the
country last Thursday night and
Friday to the amount of about
two and one-half inches. These
rains are fine on the wheat, but
rather hard on the feed crop, a
large percent of which is yet too
green to cut.

Better Roads

In commenting upon an article
regarding dangerous places IN
the county road, which recently
appeared in The News, the Fow-
ler News says: 1T does seem
right that more attention should
be given roads after heavy rains
to avoid much trouble and prob.
ably rccidents. We venture the
assertion that there have been
a half dozen cars stuck in a cer-
tam place on the county road be-
tween Fowler and Meade in the
past ten days, all because no at
tention was given to the placing
of warning marks for the night
travellers, Money is beng paid
by automobile and motorcy Gle
owners to be spent on the roads,
and the money is in the county
treasury. Why then, aren't they
looked after?
If a fellow goes down the road
without tag, he is "pinched"
and the reason is because he
hasn't paid FIVE dollar bill into
the "Automobile Tax Road Fund
for the State and County Treas
urers to bold as ornaments.
The state is so keen to have
auto inspectors out to see to il
that every auto owner gets tag,
then why doesn't it be just as
keen to send out road inspectors
to see that the roads are kept in
decent shape. There is as much
consistency in one as the other
The Inspectors argument Is
that the laws passed governing
automobiles and motorcycles
must be rigidly enforced to pro
tect human life, but Still neglect
to look after bad reads which
cause numerous accidents every
year.
Since our article regarding the
condition of the road between
Meade and Fowler, our attention
ojhas been called to roads in var
ious parts of the county which
need attention. When the ar
ticle was written we did not sup
pose that the road referred tt
was the only one upon which
work was necessary, but were
surprised to learn of so many
others, therefore it seems that {
moveme for better roads in al
parts of the county would be ar
excellent idea. ''In union there
is strength" What would bt
the matter with organizing ;
Good Roads Association? N
one issue could interest more
people than that of better roads
It means more business for tht
towns, fewer accidents, and ;
betterment of financial and so
cial cor nditions in general.

Naturalization Of Aliens

st. Louis, MISSOURI, mas Just
completed an examination of the
naturalization records Of the Of
flee of John Elliott, clerk of the
district court of this county. He
states that this inspection indi-
dates a considerable mum Der of
foreign born residents of the
county, who as preliminary
step to citizenship filed their dec
laration of intention commonly
known as "frst papers''] have
been most negligent in their eff
forts to complete their natural
ization.
Under existing naturalization
law, the life of declaration of
intention is limited to seven
years, it being reg uired that pc
tition for naturalization [com-
monty known as ''secoad papers"
be filed thereon not than two
years, and not more than seven
years, following the date of ex-
ecution of such declaration.
This fact is apparently not gen.
orally known among those who
in this county have filed their
declaration of intention, as al-
ready very considerabl num-
Der of such papers have "expir.
ed" or 'lapsed" by reason of
this limitation. 1t viii accord

ers of such papers to file new
declarations, il they desire cit
izenship, and delay at least two
years thereafter before being
again eligible to petition for nat
uralization.

The matter of citizenship is
one of increasing IMPORTANCE,
particularly where those Of for

at the time, would under oui
laws be debarred from natural

are foreign-born are especially
concerned, as the naturalization

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Canning and Preserving.

Sweet Picked Strawberries-Pre-
pare two quarts of berries as for can
ming. Add two cups sugar and slow
ly heat mixture to boiling point. ADD
half pint vinegar and continue boil
ing ten minutes. Then keep the ber
ries over a slow fire, but below the
boiling point, for one hour. Place
berries in Jars and boil sirup until
it thickens. Fill jars to overlooking
with the strip and seal at once.
When canning cherries, if you
should like the favor of raspberries,
take one-fifth as many berries as
make a much richer pie than cher
ries or berries alone and are not
nearly full of little seeds as when
the berries are used alone.
Sweet PickleS-One gallon good
vinegar, ten cents worth saccharine
sugar. one cup salt. two ounces
ground cinnamon, two ounces ground
mustard, two ounces ground cloves
ground alum, four ounces ground
horseradish. Stir everything togeth-
er. (ThiS Will make three gallons of
pickles.) Pour over pickles, let
boil, let cool, pour back on, cover
with grape leaves and weight. They
will keep for year.
New Way to Label Fruit Jars
Cut out pictures to represent the diff
ferent kinds CT fruits and vegetables
from seed catalogs and magazines.
If there are not enough pictures for
every kind. copies may be cut from
white paper and tinted with water
colors. This method of labelling IS
especially nice for home canned vege-
tables. Another thing is that it gives
employment to the children. They
will enjoy cutting out pictures and
making duplicates from a pattern
with their paints.

HEART and BEAUTY PROBLE EMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: AS L am
broken-hearted woman, 1 wish you
would give me some good advice.
My husband is kind in some ways,
but he has such a stubborn DISPOSE
ton. He never comes home from
work and finds me away. l always
have his meals ready, and try to keep
my house clean, and always look neat
and tidy myself L do everything 1
can to please him. He can always see
what some other woman has on and
how much work she does. If he ever
sees anything I do, he never says any
thing about it. 1t doesn't make any
clothes, he never says anything un-
less I ask him. He rather acts as If
he were mad. I just feel that L can't
stand it.
