Importance of the Hen.

For many years the hen lived her
humble life without notice from the
press. and with no assistance from the
state or nation. Then a little help
was extended in the form of bulletins
treating of the care of the hen; gradu-
ally all of the poultry world was fea-
tured in bulletins, and established in
college buildings on college grounds,
supported by college funds. In Rhode
Island, physician was even employed
to study the cause and cure of black
head In turkeys. Now we have a
splendid fund of information at our
service; experts are sent without any
charge to study diseases of poultry
and their remedies; poultry trains are
sent out. g-laying competitions es-
tablished. with poultry shows galore.
The public is awakening to the fact
that the hen is helping to bring pros
perity to our nation. She is receiving
the press notices which belong to one
OF royal behavior. 1t is getting quite
respectable to mention chickens in or
dinary conversation.

Chinch Bugs.

Chinch bugs usually live over the
winter in clumps of grass In meadows
and pastures, in the rubbish along the
fence rows and roadsides, and In corn
fields. The Kansas station claims that
most OF the bugs winter in clumps of
bunch-grass and blue-stem in pastures
and mown meadows. along roadsides
and highways. and In neglected cor
ners OF cultivated fields. The Kansas
station claims that II these clumps of
grass are thoroughly burned in No
yember. the possibility of attack the
following year will be greatly les
sened. 1t is not advised that corn
stalks be burned. but that corn fields
be plowed in the late fall or early win
ter. The amount of moisture seems
to have a great deal to do with the
damage done by chinch bugs. 1t is
claimed that frequent rains in May
will almost prevent the damage. 1t
seems that chinch bugs are Matching
during May, and that frequent rains
destroy them. At any rate, chinch
bugs are usually not damaging for
more than two or three years in sue
ceSsion.

THE INDICTMENT OF TOM
HUNTER.

That indictment of Tom Hunter
for ordering some four quarts Of
whisky and some bottled beer is
about the toughest illustration OF
cheap politics which has been pulled
off in this state for many day Tom
Hunter is man OF standing and a
gentleman, His opponets could not
find anything stronger against him
than that he had ordered some booze
TO be brought to him last July
through friend who was on a visit
TO Texas.
This is illustrative of the beauties
OF the prohibtive law in this state.
1t shows to what extent men will go
TO injure rival. Had Tom Hunter
not been candidate for speaker of
the house of representative we prob
ably would never have heard u word
about this shipment or consignment
OF whisky and beer from Texas AS
IL is, his enemies are trying to cruelty
him. They will fail, as they deserve
to fail because there is still some

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.

And here's hoping! Things may
not have gone exactly right during
the year, we may not have been as
happy as we desired and as we felt
that we should have prospered, but
somehow or other We came through
the entire year and we are here still
with the wish that the Lord blesses
you! We hope that he will not only
smile on you, but laugh outright,
that the sunshine Of his presence
will be with YOU every day and every
hour.
We make a lot of foolish resolu-
tions at New Years. We talk about
quitting the smoking habit and we
talk about refusing the occasional
bottle OF beer which comes into a
prohibition country, but we are all
human and we must confess to a
rather supersttious liking for old
John in one or another of his multi
farious ways.
But we are all democratic at New
Years. We all wish every other fell
low the compliments of the season,
we all desire that everybody else
prosper and grow fat The World
has prospered during the year just
past as 1t believes 1t ought to have
prospered for the reason that The
World has printed the, news, that its
opinions have been unbiased and un-
purchasable, and that 1t looked
things purely from the angle of the
good of Tulsa,
The World has no apologies to
offer for its course. The World be-
lieves that the people Of this COM
munity and the people OF every other
community in the state are coming
around to a realization that The
World is right and that the prin-
ciples advocated by The World are
Just right and that The World has
always been right.
The World wishes every reader
a Happy New Year. 1t wishes every
man and every woman and every
child Happy New Year. 1t wishes
the Fills and the New Zealanders
a Happy New Year 1t wishes all
OF the universe a Happy New Year.
Especially the boys in the trenches.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. al
Held on suspicion OF being German
spy In French detention camp,
where she is under guard with 10
other women, Mrs. Clara Lehman,
we'll known member of this city's
smart set, Is making frantic appeals
to her son here. Felix +. Lehman, as
well as to the United States consul
in Paris.
For more than three months she
has been confined with her sister.
Mrs. Emma Weisz OF Paris. and the
other women at Les Sables d'Olonne,
in q ramShacklC barracks.
She was arrested by French soldiers
at her Partisan home two days after
the outbreak OF war. Confinement and
exposure In the unheated qua rters are
rapidly undermining her health, says
Mrs. Lehman in letter to her son
here.
Despite this, Mrs. Lehman and her
sister has volunteered their services
as nurses and have been helping many
of the wounded brought into the de-
tention camp. 1t has, however, failed
to bring them better treatment than
that complained Of, says the impris-
oned woman.
That her daughter, Mile. Rose Leh-
mann. Is. is not also prisoner is due
to her mothers presence Of mind in
sending her to Germany from Switzer-
land, where the two were on q vaca-
ton at the time war was declared,
The mother hastened back to Paris,
where she owns lace and embroid-
cry establishment and was i'm
mediateiy arrested on suspicion.
The case Of Mrs. Lehman has been
presented to the state department at
Washington, as well as to the Ameri-
can embassy at Paris, with requests
for official intercession, but thus far
without results.
your Aunt Emma and l. are no
longer young women" wrote Mrs.
Lehman to her son here. II suffer
very much from rheumatism and cold
In this terrible hole. Sea gales are
blowing now and we have no heavy
clothes, nor IL there any heat in the
barracks"
