PATCHING EGGS IN
 OLD FASHION WAY
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN SELEC-
 TON OF EGGS, NESTING PLACES,
 AND FEEDING CHICKS BY A POULTRY SPECIALIST.

When matching eggs with hens, it is always desirable to select quiet place md make nest of clean hay or straw Il a shallow box or barrel laid on its tide. It is preferable to have this nest 0n the ground if there is no danger of Hoods during ralny weather. Make he nest big enough so the eggs can not be rolled out easily. In deep nests Ihere is danger of breaking eggs when the hen leaves or gets on the nest.
 Select a quiet hen that has been broody for several days and place her on a pest with a few cull eggs or nest eggs in it, and allow her to stay on these eggs for two or three days before giving her the eggs to be hatched
 It is especially advisable to make sure that the hen is free from lice. Lousy hens stand on the eggs and pick instead of keeping the eggs warm. If the hen has lice dust her freely with Persian insect powder or take bit Of blue ointment the size of pea and rub 1t on the skin under the vent. Both remedies can be bought at any drug store, and are effective. Repeat the treatment after nine or ten days to kill the lice that hatch Provide feed and water where the hen can leave the nest and get to them easily. Cracked corn and wheat make good feed
 Selecting Eggs.
 The eggs for matching should be carefully selected from freshly laid eggs that have not been chilled When hens are not laying many eggs 1t is advisable to put the eggs in dry bran, small end down, leaving the up per end or air space uncovered. Place the box in a cool place that will not drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Se- feet eggs of uniform size, as they will not be broken as easily in the nest. Do not pick the largest eggs. Select the average sizes. avoiding thin, thick or irregular shells. Use nine to 15 eggs, depending on the size of the hen.
 Test the eggs about the tenth or fourteenth day This can be done by holfing them before a lamp light in a dark room, if an egg tester is not avail able. Remove all clear eggs and sucn dark eggs as show the contents to be fluid, as these eggs will decay and ie broken in the nest will prevent other eggs from hatching
 Remove Bad Eggs.
 It is advisable 10 remove all un- hatChable eggs, as it allows a better chance for the fertile ones. When hatChing begins. generally on the tWenty-frst day for hen eggs, if the hen is quiet, leave the chicks until all are matched unless the hen has a tendency to leave the nest with the first few matched 1t is decidedly the best to give the chicks water, but with hold feed for at least 4S hours

JUDGE RUNS ROAD GRADER
Dons Overalls and Saves Cost of Employing One More
 Man in Baxter.

Mountain Home, Sept. G. County Judge Lee Jones is earn ing his salary. Several weeks ago he purchased a big tractor engine, grader and rock crush CT for use on Baxter county roads. Enthused over the ma chinery, he donned a pair of overalls and a jumper and for the Hast two weeks has been handling the grader himself, and probably will remain at his new job except when one of his courts is in session, until good roads are built all over the coun- ty. He is becoming an expert.
 With the new outfit 1t is possible to grade a mile of road a day. The crusher will crush 100 wagon loads of rock. which will cover 1000 feet of ordinary country road. The cost of oper- ating the engine for oil and engineers salary amounts to seven dollars. Several communi- ties have offered to furnish free labor for building roads through their sections. and it is expected that many miles of road will be made this winter by that plan.

THREE WHEAT SUGGESTIONS

Possibly a good many farmers will want to have a few acres of wheat this year and in ad- dition to the factor of soil fert- lity and a good seed bed the Extension Division of the Uni versity of Arkansas says there are three other points that the farmer should consider if he wants to get profit from his wheat field. l. It is not neces- sary nor advisable to import high priced seed for the general field acreage, although it may be advisable to buy some of the better seed.

ACCIDENTS FROM BENzIk

Recently published statistics regarding accidents in Germany from benzin during the year 1914 remind us that danger from industrial products or occupa- tions could be averted if there were more widespread intelli- -gence regarding the behavior of the materials used or the ways of shipping innocuous procedures.
 How serious the harm from ben- gin may be illustrated by the fact that out of the reported accidents. 120 deaths and 154 serious injuries resulted in a single year. Most of these ac- cording to The Journal of the American Medical Association, occurred in connection with the automobile traffic or the techni- cal use and transport of benzin. Many arose from the household uses of the substance. Benz;n is widely employed in the worl, of chemical cleaners and dyers
 If it were wid ely realized that noninflammable substitutes fo, benzin exist which are perfectly suited for most uses exce,t power production and illumina

QUESTION CLEARED UP

Prescott Readers Can No Longer
 Doubt the Evidence.
 Again and again we have read of strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Prescott's pertinent question has always been Has anyone here m Pres colt cured?" The word of stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the weight with us as the word of our own citizens whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove.

FREE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE
 SCHOOL 0F YOUR CHOICE

The Tyler Commercial College of Tyler. Texas, is positively the only business college in the state which teaches a thorough course of practical. modern bookkeep- ing and business training. Other schools teach theoretical book keeping; some of them call it actual business, but it is not. The commercial room of the Tyler Commercial College is a community of business houses of various kinds, Banks, Whole sale, Commission, Real Estate. Retail, Insurance, etc. Each student IS engaged in real, active business, learning to do by do ing. Every entry made by the student during his entire course is originated by an actual sale or purchase: it may be grain, it may be groceries, dry goods, real estate or stock in a corpora ton, but the transaction is reall. performed and every paper re- quired in the transaction, whet- her check, note, draft, receipt, mortgage. deed or what not. is filled out by the student. Part nership contracts are drawn up and agreed upon between the parties following the company Articles of incorporation are drawn up. Thru these practical methods the student learns busi- ness as well as bookkeeping; they learn how to meet one another face to face and trans act business in a business way, instead of copying theoretical transaction from a text book. as is done in every other com mercial school in the state. 1, takes more teaching force and better teachers to teach our systems and methods; our teach CTS are not only teachers oi Bookkeeping, but they must bt we'll informed on business GUS toms. When a student learns to do a thing by actually doing it, he learns it thoroughly, and witt our practical, face to face busi ness methods we are able t. give the student a thorough course of bookkeeping and busl ness training in less time thal he could possibly get the theory or so-called practical bookkeep ing alone in other schools.
 We will give a free scholar ship in the school of your choic to anyone finding another schoo in this state teaching both book keeping and business througl practical business transaction as we do. Similar practice methods are used in teachins shorthand, typewriting, cottor chasing, telegraphy and bushes administration and finance. w. believe in learning to do in th' school room that which you mus do when going into the bushes world, and it IS this policy tha has made the Tyler Commercia College of Tyler, Texas, tn largest school of the kind i America.

TAX PAYERS AWAKENING.

The taxpayer is learning slowly
but he is learning-that one Of the
most important offices in the county
Is that of supervisor Too long has
the responsibility and importance of
this office been ignored by the voter.
And that's the reason why many coun-
ties are heavily in debt and why many
counties make such poor business
deals. The value of a thorough bust
ness man as member OF the board
of supervisors is being brought fore
ibly hcme. II is noticed that there
has been a pe-ceptible movement to
ward the application of business prin-
c:ples since G. z. Maxwell became
member of the board of supervisors
Of ee county. And in his efforts to
apply these business principles, TO get
for the county the full value OF the
dollar Gnl to see that unnecessary ex-
pcnse is eliminated. he should have
the earnest and sincere support Of the
taxpayers OF this county Not only Mr.
Maxwell! should he supported in such
service. but every county official
who feels that he is obligated to an
economic police Mr.. Maxwell is pc
culiarly qualified for the place he oc-
cup;es, having had long experience in
construction work and in business
positions OF Importance. His almost
immediate insight into the financial
affairs of Lee county and the neces-
sitv for making ARRANGEMENTS to pro
vide for a floating Indebtedness indi-
Gates he is going to be a very valu-
able member of the board. It is a safe
bet that more interest is going 70 be
taken in the actions of the supervis
ors than there has been in the past
and it IS also pertinent to remark
that those officials who are spending
the county's money with such a free
hand will feel the weight of the vot
er's hand at coming elections

Information preferred by his wife

The wisdom of the school board IN
purchasing sites for prospective new
buildings is being appreciated more
and more as Keokuk continues to
grow. 1t is poor business to wait I'M
til city is thickly populated and then
go into the heart Of business or
residence section to purchase site.
The cost is enormous. The members
of the boards Of education must have
a vision and select to the best of their
ability locations where it is believed
that new schools will be necessary.
The Keokuk directors did so with re-
spect TO the new Jefferson and secured
the present site at very reasonable
price. The local directors should pro-
tect the city in the matter of future
sites 1t is economy to buy early and
buy wisely.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means get
rid of dandruf, for it will starve your
hair and ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruf is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to roisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair viii look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you viii need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy nsyeE tasls.
