GAS co. BEHIND SERGEL'S MOVE,
SAYS RICHBERG
Behind the action of City Treas
Urer Charles H. Sergel in refusal to
pay. for experts and lawyers for the
special gas committee is the Peoples
Gas Light & Coke Co., according to
Donald R. Richberg, special counsel
for the gas committee, in a letter to,
Corporation Counsel Folsom.
'9This whole controversy over spec
cial appropriations had its inception
in the appropriation of $4,000 to-
prosecute the Peoples Gas Light e
Coke Co. to recover ten million dol-9
lars overcharges on gas rates" says
Richberg's letter. He points to-
"eVasions, - misunderstanding" and
lack of cooperation" by Sergel in
the attempt of Richberg to get a
court decision early.
Sergel states to The Day Book
that Richberg is mistaken and there
is no intent to help the gas trust
z "'I have always fought the corpora.
tons and stood with union labor"
said Sergel. 81 would have taken
this step earlier, but was busy look
ing up the law" ...

In 1884 Lieutenant Henry Shrap-

make them all but impossible.
Somehow, every time man in

Lieutenant Shrapnel undoubtedly
believed his shell would end wars
within hundred years.
So he became famous through the
shell that bears his name-a contriv-

ever wide area when it explodes.
Since Shrapners days on earth,
other keen minds have been improv-

shell, until at. present the bullets
scatter behind a high-powered
charge and cover an area undreamao

MAZE A COMPLETE CENSUS

it be advisable to have complete
census Of the city made at the same

Under recent ruling of the fed
eral census bureau. a city can obtain
from that department expert aid. A
complete census could be made at
about the same cost as an enumera-
ton OF males between the ages of Is
and As, for little additional labor
would be required.
The time for new census of Pine
Bluff is opportune, because the last
federal census was made five years
ago, and it will be five years before
another is taken. Pine Bluff should
have more recent figures.
The advantage of having a repre-
sentative of the federal census
bureau in charge is that the figures
would be accepted as accurate by all

FEEDING MASH IN DRY FORM
More Equal Distribution of Food Ia
Obtained by Use of Hoppers-
Feed Some Cut Bone.

Some of the most experienced poul-
try breeders claim that the best re-
suits can be obtained by feeding mash
in dry form in hoppers where fowls
have access TO 1t at all times. This
allows more equal distribution of
the food.
A slight feed of moist mash about
three Zines week in addition to this
dry mash is good. 1t is essential in
preparing this mash that the mixing
process not &c sligtted, as a little
longer mixing will result in a much
better mash and prevent the using Of
an excess of water, which tends to
make the mixture pasty.
By mixing green cut bone with the
mash in the quantity hereinafter CIV
en- food will be obtained that is I'M
equaled for laying hens.
Probably the best way to feed this
ration is to give the flock a quantity
which they will consume entirely In
from eight to ten minutes.
This should be given them three
times week and the amount usually
runs SO that each fowl will receive on
an average of one ounce at each feed
ing or every two days In other
words, about one-half ounce of green
cut bone per fowl per day is consid-
cred the right amount

AS the name will indicate, this is
one of tine scale insects, taking its
name from the scale covering that is
secreted over the insects body, re-
sembling somewhat the convex side Uf
an oyster shell.
This insect has been reported on
over forty different food plants in the
United States, including most of our
fruit trees, also many ornamental and
shade trees. 1t has proved especially
bad in some sections of this state on

II one of these scales be raised in
the winter or early spring, there will
be found beneath it a mass of very
small yellowish or whitish eggs that
hatch about the middle of May into
small lice that appear as mere speeks
to th1 naked eye.
They move about for a few days,
then insert their beaks into the bark
and begin to feed. BY the end of the
season they are fully developed and
have secreted a scaly covering over
the entire body. In the fall, the adult
deposits the mass of small eggs and
dies.
