some JUNGLE BEASTS
Not Confined To Foreign Lands But Live in
the United States
(BY Marcus Dayl

In the latest issue of the New
Freedom is a reprint from the Phil
adelphia Record entitled Law of the
Jungle" in which that very excellent
paper comments upon the conversion
of President Faunce, OF Brown Uni
versity, to belief that we are in
need of greater preparedness. The
Record cites the fact that President
Faunce considers the world a jungle
and that among nations there are
beasts of prey.
No one will dispute the fact that
the human world is jungle all right.
but any tabulation of names among
the men of financial power who adj
vocate great military preparedness
will contain great majority of the
individual beasts of prey. AS these
beasts have much to do with govern
mental policy it is only natural to
conclude that any preparedness advo-
Gated by them will be for the pro-
lection OF beasts first, with very little
consideration for prey afterward As
the necessity of preparedness may be
duty of the people in this country
against foreign beasts, precautionary
measures may be left in control of
one set of beasts while the country
awaits developments on the part OF
those outside. In this lapse OF time
the local beasts will be certain to
take their full toll from the American
prey-the producing and consum-
ing masses When people are the
victims OF beasts of prey Of one sort
the fear of becoming the property OF
other masters is much less than il

joying the blessings, OF life, liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness,

settled in this country concernins

Harrisburg, Pa.-The state fedora

questions to legislative candidates
throughout the state. Prospective
lawmakers are asked to announce
their position on the following. issues:

ed to apply it.


The great financial pirates who ex-
plot industry and rob the people are
most forward in expressing fear of
foreign aggression but are just as de-
termined as ever in their history to
continue aggression against our own
people. Many of the most powerful,
now screaming for monstrous pre-
paredness, have sold foreign govern
ments arms and ammunition at low
er price than they have been willing
to accept from our own. If they can
secure more money from abroad for a
different type of gun which they have
created and which will be more eff
fective than any heretofore discover.
ed, can any one doubt that the
Schwabs, Maxims, DuPonts and oth-
ers would hesitate a moment in
choosing customers where these
greater profits can be obtained? Is
not preparedness in such hands about
the most dangerous thing we can con-
tinue? We are three thousand miles
away from European beasts of prey
but our own beasts are in the Allan
tic states and they fear and despise
our own people more than they do
any foreign people or government be-
cause this class, like all people who
prey, loathe victims who allow them
selves to be preyed upon. No robber
ever had any respect for the people
he robbed-his feeling. is nothing but
contempt for them.
The most stupendous question to be
settled concerning preparedness is
whether the American people are GO
ing to let United States beasts of prey
formulate and apply military prepar-
edness or whether they are going to
make Of it preparedness by the peo-
4 pie and for the people, driving from
political and financial power the few
whose patriotism is governed by prof

Are no Jobs in Canada

Washington-The federal depart
ment of labor has published a state
ment by the American consul general
at Vancouver, British Columbia who
warns Americans that there is no war
rant for the call. eminating from
Canadian sources, for 10000 farm la
borers in that country. 1t is stated
that there are more than 1000 un-
employed in Vancouver, and that
"many able bodied men in this pro-
vince are dependent upon public
charity for the reason that they are
unable to obtain employment"
The consul continues:
"There is no demand for mechanics
or laborers in this part Of Canada, and
| have to recommend that this fact be
made known through the press in the
United States as means of warming
American citizens against coming to
British Columbia with the expectation
of securing. employment of that kind.

bath Day. Christ took an interest in
the lower animals. The Father cares
for the birds and feeds them; He held
them up as examples for us. They were
made for man, and are most useful. They
preach some good sermons to men. They
never drink whiskey, nor chew tobacco /;
neither do they smoke the deadly nico-
tine poison, or the filthy cigarette.
How useful the chicken can be made
What delicious food they afford in eggs
and meat. Their cultivation should be
encouraged. They could we'll furnish
Zion people with large part of their
meat, to say nothing of the eggs.
Zion's meat bill, for year, is no small
item. A pound of poultry meat can be
raised as cheaply as pound of beef, or
mutton, and we believe cheaper. Now,
this furnishes an introduction to what
we have to say about raising, or brood
ing, the young chicks, after they are
Matched.
A young chick is a tender plant, and
requires proper attention and care. If it
gets this, it grows very rapidly; if not,
it dies and you don't know what was the
trouble.
There are several things very essen
tial in the brooding. There are two
especially; the warmth and the feed.
For about three days, warmth is about all
they need. Chilling the baby chicks is
fatal. They need about 95 degrees tenn
perature after taken from the incubator
for four or five days, and then the tenn
perature can be gradually lowered to 70
degrees, in two weeks or more. The
ventilation must be good, and pure air
must be supplied. Treat them like the
old mother hen does. Furnish them a
warm place of cover, and then allow
them to run out and and in, and they
will take care of themselves very soon.
If they are kept out of doors, they should

POULTRY TALKS
BY O. L. TINDALL

In our last article, we spoke of hatch
ing the chicks with the incubator and
with the hen. This is very important,
and requires much care in order to be
successful. But the battle is not over,
nor won when the chicks are out of their
shells. 1t is like the birth of child !;
the battle for life is just begun.
The question has been raised of late,
in the newspapers, why the government
and the people do not write, study, and
put out bulletins on the rearing and care
of children, as we'll, or as much at least,
as they do on the raising of fine stock
of various kinds. They have, no doubt,
made considerable advancement in stock
raising, by careful experiment, care,
study, and agitation.
The quality of stock has been greatly
improved. This is true of poultry. 1t
is question whether the human race has
been much improved. The work of the
doctors, whose business it should be to
lead the way on this subject, does not
show much advancement. Their medi-
cines and remedies have produced more
and worse diseases than they have ever
cured. We read of the diseases that the
Christ healed when on earth, such as
palsy, dropsy, epilepsy, leprosy, and
others. The doctors have been working
on them for 1000 years, and they are
still incurable, they admit.
The animal creation is in better con-
dition today than the human race.
Christ asked the Pharisees if a man was
not better than a sheep. They would
save sheep from the pit on the Sab
bath, but were angry with him because
he saved man from death on the Sab

not be allowed to run in the wet grass in
the morning. Too much heat is bad, as
| it weakens them; tougher them up as
fast as possible.
Be careful with the feed. They do not
need feed for 48 hours, or more, after
coming out of the shell. Pure water and
grit should be given first. It is said a
young chick has yolk enough within it
to supply food for SO to 48 hours, after
| it is Matched, and any other food is in
furious. Chickens have no teeth. You
have to supply them in the way of hard
grit, or sharp gravel, or even glass
broken up Many boil the infertile eggs,
taken from the incubator, hard, and then
grind them up, shell and all, and mix
with oatmeal, five parts to one of the
eggs, for their first feed They relish
this, and it is wholesome and nourish-
ing.
About the safest feed for the beginner
who is not used to feeding, is to feed
the prepared chick feed, as you buy it in
the feed store. A dry mash of cornmeal,
bran and shorts, with a little beef
scraps, is good for them after the first
few days. This can be fed in a hopper,
and kept before them all the time.
Milk sweet or sour, is excellent feed.
They need also some green feed, grass
or sprouted oats and vegetables. They
want variety, just like yourself.
If these simple principles are followed,
there isn't much trouble in raising the
chicks, provided they are we'll Matched. !
and are healthy. If not, you might as
well consign them to cremation at once.
A sick or crippled chicken is poor asset.
Medicine and remedies are cut out for
the chickens, the same as we do for the
children. Take good care of them. Keep
the rats and cats away, and the chickens
will do their part, coming out growing
for victory.
