Of the suit in which the facts came

as his father made it there. and migh

property before it had all been dissi-

which any young man may wen heed
For one thing, a civil word and an
obliging manner are seldom wasted.
The power TO make friends and in
spire confidence is gift, like any
other talent, but the root of it is kind

TIPS THAT WERE TIPS

Millionaire

A good many thousand college
graduates will envy that doorman at
Delmonico's who testified that he had
made Sl,OoO,0OO on stock market tips

restaurant He explained that his
college education enabled him TO talk
ntelligently to these men, and that
their advice helped him TO build up
q big fortune, although he was work

We suspect that there was a native
intelligence behind the college edu-
cation which could have dispensed
with college training more easily
than college training could have dis
pensed with that native foundation

be rich, while it is notorious that
many of them are working for $50 n

ENeLAND's GREED
If She Wins the Present War She
Will Subiugate Mexico.


England's policy is aggressive and
far-reaching, cunning and crafty She
is wringing her bread from the
sweat OF other mems faces. Her Co
lonial possessions are enormous. she
has foothold in almost every count
~ in the world, and yet greedy and
rapaeious she is still reaching out
for more Her purpose in the pres
ent European war is to crush Turkey
and if she succeeds in doing this she
will get as her share of the plumber
large slice OF the Ottoman Empire,
from which steady stream of gold
will flow into British Golfers.
Mexico. lying just south of the
United States and adjoining this
country, has an area OF 767 ,005
square miles and has a population OF
over 15,000,000. The inhabitants OF
Mexico have, in the past 80 years,
fully proven to the world that they
can in no way take care of them
selves They never have established
amy practical form of government.
AS a matter of fact they do not seem
to want any and they have no consid-
Grafton whatever for rights of other
people or the rights Of other nations.
Mexico has great mineral wealth

ages both for AGRICULTURAL and com
mercial PURPOSES and once sttled by

Flash Of Memory Made Him
Richer by Neat Amount.

Misers' boards have been found In
all kinds OF queer places. The expe-
rience Of Postmaster Habelton Of
Marysville, Mich, proves that a man
may bank money against his will and
be made right glad after many days.
The postmaster made a trip to Port
Huron TO do some purchasing. That
was months ago. He took a 500
bill along TO meet the proposed out
lay. After he had named everything
he needed and the articles were be-
Ing wrapped up he looked for the
500 bill-and looked in vain.
Search everywhere was made, in
garments and along the street to the
point where the postmaster had left
the interurban car and then the car
itself. No trace OF the bill was found
and the police department and the
sheriff were notified OF the loss. 1t
made things a little ipconvenient for
Mr.. Hazelton, because every man
can't lose 800 without having his
finances thrown out Of adjustment.
After things had been arranged to
smooth over the loss the postmaster
placed pencil in his vest pocket one
day. and noted its disappearance. He
investigated and found a hole. In
the search something crinkled. 1t
was the 800 bill. As the postmaster
had adjusted himself to the loss he
called the situation AN absolute find
OF $780,"

The official, who was evidently

and the meter left the court without
a stain upon its high character.

amount OF these articles consumed is
not recorded.
The two lots received the same treat.
ment except that lot 2 was given all
the skim milk they would eat In Gddi-
ton to the grain ration.
The test was continued for eight
weeks. Lot consumed 179.S pounds
of grain. and the.average weekly gain
per chick was 2,62 ounces. Lot con
sumed 217.S pounds OF grain and 90.4
pounds of skim milk, and the average
weekly gain per chick was 4.46 ounces.
The conclusion drawn was to the ef.
feet that the use OF the milk was very
profitable, as II aided in the digestion
OF the other foods. resulting in in.
creased consumption and faster
growth.
This test was duplicated during the
summer with practically identical re
suits, and we may assume that skim
milk, whenever available. is especially
valuable for growing chicks.

CBy z. T. DE CRAFT,

Wy J. DE@ 1ANfAA
After l6 years experience with
fowls, I have concluded that Rhode Is
land Reds combine more practical
qualities and fewer undesirable ones
tlan any OF the 20 varieties have
kept.
Their popularity is due to their rap
I'd growth. oblong bodies with wide,
plump breasts and yellow skins.
Besides their early maturity they
are hardy and lay large eggs, espe-
cially in winter. AS mothers, they
compare favorably with Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes and are free
from the Objectionable fatteuing-up-
behind characteristics Of these breeds.
In raising these birds to table sizes.
the following Is my regular practice.
In a corner OF the house cellar is an
asbestos-lined incubator room.
When a hatch is made, so OF the
llveliest chicks at about thirty hours
old are removed In the afternoon and
placed in a thoroughly clean, painted
louseproof brooder, each chick hav-
ing its bill dipped In water to teach
II to drink. The other chicks remain
in the incubator until next morning.
The first feed consists OF stale
bread, soaked in either sweet or sour
milk. and squeezed out.
The second day they are given the
range OF the brooder scratching floor
upon which are scattered sand and
charcoal dust with some litter.
Until they are six weeks old they
get mostly chick feed In the litter and
charcoal. grit and meat scrap in hop
per.
All utensils are kept scrupulously
clean; they are boiled once a week.
Green food is always given them
when there is no grass run. The out
