THOUSANDS SEE GIRL
OF TWENTY SPANKED

Chicago, ILL.,, September 24.-Miss
Marjorie Bretz. 20 years old, and
pretty, was spanked by her mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Bretz, Thursday, to
the amusement of a large crowd.
The spanking took place at the
corner of State and Washington
streets, just when thousands of clerks
were pouring out of the stores for
luncheon, and other thousands of
shoppers were beginning to come off
the elevated and other trains.
Mother and daughter were taken
to the Central Detail Station and
eventually to Morals Court.
ut all started over a loan shark, 7"
said Mrs. Bretz. "A year ago Mar
jorie borrowed s35 from one of them
and has paid back more than 500.
She arranged with her employers to
hold out 81 week, and just found
it out. So | chastised her."

to 1899 short tons, valued at
$629,356, which, though a decrease
Of 16 per cent in quantity and a
very slight decrease in value as COM
pared with 1914, is a much greater
value than in former years. The
prices paid for feldspar in 1915 were
about the same as in recent preced-
ing years, averaging about $3.50 per
long ton for crude material of pot
terry grade and about $S.3S per short
ton for ground material for pottery.
Better grades of ground material
brought $1,000 to $11 per short ton.
Maine ranked first in quantity and
value of its output, and all feldspar
shipped from that State was of high
grade. North Carolina, New York,
Pennsylvania. Connecticut, Maryland,
California, New Hampshire, and Vir-
ginia were also producers in relative
quantities indicated by the order In
which the States are named.

COincidentaI.

At a certain kindergartensin Mil
waukee recently one of the small pu-
pills seemed especially anxious to tell
the teacher something.
well, Nan, what is it?" the
teacher finally asked, in response to
the frantic waving of the tots
hand.
IL got a new little sister today"
painted the wee one.
"Oh, Nan, that was lovely" said
the teacher where did you get
herr"
"Dr, Brown brought her" replied
the child.
Another little hand shot up into
the air in an excited way, and the
teacher asked this little girl what
was the matter.
I'VE take on him, too" she said.

FARM DEPARTMENT
Main Factors I'm Keeping Poultry.

Main Factors IN Keeping Poultry.
The main factors in keeping poul-
try are environment, proper selection
of breeding stock, feeding a proper
ly balanced ration and plenty of Il,
and selling properly.
The first essential is good breed
ing stock. The average scrub hen
of the south is not a paying invest
ment. She CLEANS from the waste
products of the farm her living in
most cases, and the amount of cash
brought i'm is often almost pure gain.
A big improvement can be made in
the farm nocks by buying a small
pen of pure breds, keeping them
through the winter and selling or
eating the eggs that you get from
them and using them for breeders the
next spring. Or II is possibly better
to buy from a high-class breeder a
pen of birds that have been used in
his breeding pens and keep them
through the winter for next years
breeding stock. They will possibly
be kept at an expense during the fall,
as two-year-old hens as a rule do not
lay until about January. You can
get enough eggs from a pen of five
good hens to raise a good many chick
ems the first year. 1t will not be
long until you can have a flock of
pure breds and sell many eggs dur
ing the breeding season for good
prices.
A good house is essential. and now
is the time to build and get ready
a good home for the hens to use
through the winter season. You
cannot hope to get eggs when the
hens are exposed to the weather.
They need a house with three tight
sides and free from dampness.
The feed necessary for hens can
be raised on Southern farms ana
there need not be any feed at all pur-
CHdStu. MIN 10 lit DCSN anu
est form of protein. Every farm
should have big surplus of milk
to feed to the hens. Combine cot
tonseed meal and corn meal for a
mash and then use corn and wheat
as a scratch ration, and you can get
eggs during the winter season if you
have the right kind of hens.
The demand for better quality
of eggs is now being received is al
most unlimited, provided you can
produce out of season. If you pro-
duce eggs only during the spring
you cannot hope for a good price.
The big demand is during the hot
summer months and throughout the
winter.
Eggs are a fine cash crop and will
do much toward easing up the table

ITALIAN .AIRMAN MAKES

Turin, Sept. 25.-The Italian Air

The Petrifed Forest.

The petrifed forest of Arizona,
really a series of petrified forests, lies
a short distance south of Adamana,
on the line of the Santa Fee Railway.
There are four forests, included in a
government reservation called Petri-
fed Forest National Monument, Gre
ated by presidential proclamation in
1906. The name forest" is not
strictly appropriate. for the petrifi-
ed tree trunks are all PROSTATE and
are broken into sections. The logs
are the remains of giant trees that
grew in Triassic time, the age of rep
tiles. The trees were of several
kinds, but most of them related to
the Norfolk Island pine, now used for
indoor decoration. Doubtless they
grew in a nearby region and, after
falling, drifted down a water course
and lodged in some eddy or a sand
bank. Later they were buried by
sand and clay, finally to depth of
several thousand feet. The CONVEX
sion to stone was effected by gradual
replacement of the woody material
by silica i'm the form called chalce-
dony, deposited by underground wa
ter. A small amount of iron oxides
deposited at the same has given the
brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow
and red tints which appear in much
OF the material.
Some of the tree trunks are six
feet in diameter and more than 100
feet in length. In the first forest
there is a fine trunk that forms a ma.
tural bridge over small ravine, the
water having first washed away the
everything clay and sand and then,
following a crevice, worked out the
channel underneath. The length OF
this log is 10 feet. and the diane
ter four feet at the butt and one and
one-half feet at the top.

AMERICAN AVIATOR Is
KILLED IN AIR BATTLE

Paris, Sept 23.-Kiffin Rockwell,
the Atlanta aviator attached to the
American squadrilla, was shot dead
this morning at 10 o'clock in the
course of an air battle on the Alsace
front.
Rockwell rose at $3.50 o'clock, al
one, in an armored machine and
fearlessly attacked a German Taube.
He succeeded in emptying the maya
zine of his rapidfirer with accurate
aim, but while turning to encircle
his opponent, he received a bullet in
the head and dropped like stone.
Death was instantaneous.
The body was taken with all hon
ors TO a military hospital. The fun
eral took place Monday.

FeIdspar, An Important Small In
duStry.

Feldspar is used in large quaint
ties in both the body and the glaze of
pottery and tile and in the manufac-
ture of enameled ware. Considera-
BILE feldspar is used also in the man
ufacture of abrasive material, par
Iicularly securing soaps, and field
spar of inferior grade is used in max
ing ready roofing material and as
chicken grits. Some feldspars are
potash bearing, and efforts have
therefore been made TO use them as "a
fertilizer, but thus far without com
mercial success. Efforts to treat
feldspars i'm order to make the pot
ash in them more soluble, or at least
more readily available as plant food,
give some promise of success, and
small amounts have been so used dur
ing the last year, most of the field
spar 20 treated having been added to
so-called complete fertilizers.

Make Farm Home Attractive.


In the design and construction of
the farmhouse the question of utili-
~ alone should not be the determin-
ing factor The first thought should
be the making of a home. The
amount of money to be invested in
the building of the home should not
be determined by its relation in size
to the balance of the plant, nor by
the amount that is necessary merely
to provide a shelter, but the amount
to be invested should be that which
the owner may reasonably afford
without financially Gripping himself
too severely. The average city
dweller in buying house for a.
home does not proceed solely on the
basis of what he can expect to secure
in case II is ever desirable to place
the house on the market. He is not
likely to consider the purchase of
home as a financial investment but
as a social one, which will enable him
to secure for his family the COM
forts and conveniences that he could
not secure i'm rented house, and to
have for his family a genuine home.
genuine home life. If he is able
when the time arrives to dispose of
his property to financial advantage.
well and good If not, he considers.
and properly so. that he has made a
good investment from the social
side.
There is no panacea that will cure
the yearning for city life eyinced by
the country boys and girls OF to-day,
but there are certain conditions,
which, if established, will add ma
terially to the attractiveness of life
in the country, and should therefore
prevent them from flocking to the
cities merely to avoid life on the
farm. sIt is not to be expected that
every person reared on a farm will
desire to follow farming as a life
work. nor is it necessarily desirable
that they should do so. Many of the
boys will feel calling to one or an
other of the professions, and IL is
probable that If allowed to follow
their bent they will be far more sue
cessful and contented than If over
persuaded to stay with the farm. The
problem is not to force the boy or
girl to remain on the farm, but TO
assist them in every way in making
an intelligent choice. Their choice
can not possibly be intelligent unless
they are familiar with farm life UNI
der its best conditions.-E. b. Nc
