HORSES B R|N [ HIGH PRICE IN
 GERMANY

BERLIN, July 17.-At the horse markets" established by the govern ment where animals are offered for sale to the army, prices of late have gone up so far that many of the most valuable animals have not been bought. Many owners appear also to be holding back their horses in the hope of a still higher price.
 The government is avoiding until the last possible moment the use of it's final weapon against price extortion- confiscation. It is freely predicted however that this will be necessary if horse owners do not come to reason and do not offer their animals at prices somewhere near commensurate with the value of the horses.

KING IF SP AIN DROPS OUT IF
 PUBLIC EYE

PARIS, July 19.-The King of Spain, who formerly furnished a great deal of copy for French newspapers, has had very little attention since the war. Paris began to cool toward Alfonso XIII, in 1913; now he seems to be almost entirely outside the zone of interest. Reports from Madrid and Saint Sebastian represent him as fol- lowing every development of the war With great interest and with sympa- thetic leaning to the allies, while the rest of the court Is said to be pro- German.
 The Bayonne correspondent of the Petit Journal writes that King Alfonso recently acted as Intermediary be- tween the German government and the wife of a French soldier who had received no news from her husband since he was wounded at Charleroi, August 2S The king sent an auto graph letter to the young woman in. forming her that her husband was a prisoner of war in Germany, deprived of the privilege of communicating with France, and that he was continu. ing his efforts to obtain permission for him to write to his family.

Holcomb pitched the first three innings for the sailors, and was relieved by Kentzler who finished the game on the mound. Taylor went the whole route for the home team, and pitched consistent game.
 The two features of the game that deserved special mention were home run by Leroy "Soapy" Anderson, who swatted the pill on the nose and made a circuit of the passes before the ball even came to the ground.

LIQUOR men WILL FIGHT in Open

The New Jersey liquor interests have
come out into the open. They have
openly decided to fight the equal suf
frage amendment, which will be voted
upon in October A dispatch from
Trenton to the Philadelphia Ledger says:
AT meeting of the liquor dealers of
the state held here several days ago it
was decided to fight the constitutional
amendment giving women the right to
vote at all eiections. This decision was
reached in spite Of the advice of prom
inent political leaders, who told the
liquor ring that it would be a great mis-
take to oppose woman suffrage. The
politicians Of both parties have decided
to remain absolutely neutral on the
question ana to let the voters decide
IT,"
And so already the line has been
drawn in New Jersey. To which side
will the men Of the state listen: the
women who ask political enfranchise-
ment, or the liquor sellers who are
afraid of what women will do?

POULTRY POINTERS.

Don't get mad and fall out with your
neighbors if they cripple or kill your
chickens for continually scratching up
your garden. Remember, gardening is
their hobby, as raising chickens is yours,
and surely they have their rights as we'll
as you have. Keep your chickens on
your own premises, and thus keep sweet
with your fellow man.
Glover is an excellent preventive of
soft shelled eggs. Allow the hens a
liberal supply if possible 1t is also a
good form Of green food for the young
chicks. Give them plenty, bat chop it
fine.
Good, sweet, wholesome food will pro.
duce fine eggs. The quality of the egg
depends very largely upon the food
given the hen, as the quality of cows
milk depends upon her food. We
should aim to produce fine eggs. Give
the hen the kind and quality of food
she requires, and she in turn will give
fine eggs.
No man succeeds to any extent with
too many irons in the fire. Neither can
the average breeder with a limited SPACE
succeed if he persists in keeping many
varieties of chickens Better use your
energy on a single breed, and perfect it,
than to monkey with many breeds, and
have nothing in the end but a lot of
mongrels.

T%HAT'S the Tire Question in
a NUTSHELL
Not-"how much does
the Tire Cost"-"how much Rubber is
in it"-"how many layers of Cotton
fabric"-or "how many different Vul-
canizings does it go through"
Because, Results have shown that
some of the Tires which have most
Cotton, Rubber, Weight and stiffness,
give much less MILEAGE and Resil-
fence than other tires made lighter by
more expert workmen, through more
direct and precise Methods.
Nor is so-called Mileage Guaran-
Tee" worth considering in purchasing of
Tires.
Because mo Tires are actually
guaranteed to give definite Mileage,
no matter what the surface reading
may suggest.
Such Guarantee" would be imprac-
ticable with the best Tire ever made,
or that ever will be made.
This, unless the Tire User could,

THE BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY SCOUT NOTES.

The regular meeting of Troop ? wa
held at headquarters Thursday evening
at Z. 80. The usual business, including
reading of the minutes was quickly con
cluded, and the Scouts were then drilled
in staff exercises and the marching man
ual. A discussion of the Treasure Hunt
follows
In preparing the cryptogram, which
contained directions for locating the treas
ure cave, care was taken that its solution
should not be too difficult. Apparently,
an error was made in constructing one too
easily solved, or else the Scouts of Troop
are unusually clever At any rate two
of the Scouts secured a proof of the arti-
Gle before its appearance in last week S
column and worked out correct trans
lation So far, however, they have been
unable to locate it. Nor have any others
succeeded in the attempt. For their ben
eft and the benefit of any others who
have solved the cryptogram, we suggest
that they carefully note the variation in
the direction and the length of the shadow
cast by Boy Scout staff on any other
date and at any other time than April
18th, at 4.30p m.
Saturday was devoted to hike" to
the log cabin, where several hours were
spent in covering the rough framework
of the roof with tar paper. AS soon as
the floor is completed and the door and
windows put in place, the cabin will be
ready for occupancy, although much re-
mains to be done. The lockers are yet
to be made, hunks constructed, and the
interior properly furnished. In addition
it will be necessary to dig a drainage
ditch for the removal of standing water
in the rear of the cabin. All these things,
however, can be readily accomplished by
the expenditure of little energy on the
part of the Scouts who should not be
slow to realize the great advantages
which the completed cabin will offer them
for their summer activities.
Many of the Scouts have already en-
oyed a trip under sail in the new sloop, |
'ome of them have had few prelimi- |
iary sailing lessons. All of them should |
,e prepared to go when notified by the |
or Assistant Scoutmaster.
\ fair wind waits for no man. Take ad-
antage of any opportunity offer ed. We
want every Scout to be able to sail boat
d safety. Experience is the only thing
hat counts in a sail boat.

TAKING CARE OF and
FEEDING YOUNG CHICKS
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReseyveA

Milk, however, in all forms is excellen
for growing chicks, as well as mstureC
stock, and should, where convenient, bs
a portion of the daily ratiOns.
After the first few days of bread
crumb feeding, bran or a light mash
should be added to the chick ration. A
mash food similar to that furnished the
laying hens with the proportion of beei
scrap greatly reduced, and incidentally
what is used should be sifted) may be
given the chicks morning and evening.
After the first week, the bread crumbs
may be supplanted by some good com.
mercial chick starter.
As the chicks grow, the number of
feedings may be reduced and the size of
the grain increased. All grain foods
should be scattered in a light litter,
such as finely cut straw or alfalfa, thus
furnishing the little fellows exercise.
Green food is also an important part
of the chicks rstions, and this should
not be neglected. The green blades of
spronted oats, lettuce or onion tops, all
of which should be chopped fine, are
excellent forms of green food.
OF course, the care and attention of
incubator chicks is greater than lie re
quired with those brought into the
world by natures way, but both kinds
must have it, if success is desired. With
incubator chicks, the question of proper
brooding is far more difficult than with
those of a mother hen. With the for.
mer, man is compelled to be the mother |
or guardian of the chicks, and this |
means, besides work, careful study of |
the conditions and requirements of the |
chicks. Brood coOps should be not less
than 2H 3 # high in front. They
should be provided with hinged top,
