COMM" There is much printed and
said about poultry as fad. as a
means Of getting interested in outdoor
life and of giving one some live inter-
est outside of shop; but no practical
man or woman can remain Interested
for any length Of time in a fad that
shows no profit. Somehow the chink
of the silver Is needed to keep enthusi-
asm up to the proper level. So the
man who is looking to poultry for his
living and the one who Is interested
In II merely as a fad are both asking
the same question: will 1t pay?
The answer is simple; make the ex
penses less than the income and it will
surely pay.
Feed Economy.
The largest bill of expense on n
poultry farm is the feed bill There
fore, since grains of all kinds are
cheapest in the fall and early winter
months, the poultry farmer should
plan to have some ready money avail
able, so that he may buy much of his
grain at that time of the year. BY fall
he should have sold off his surplus
cockerels. Gull stock, and old fowls,
and this money should be invested in
grain for the coming season. Such
grains as are raised locally can usually
be bought much cheaper direct from
the producer. In our eastern and
northern states, buckwheat, wheat and
oats can frequently be bought at home
markets; the corn, however, should be
purchased from the mills, and care
must be taken to store it where there
is a circulation of air. Until it is
thoroughly dried out it should be
cracked only as needed, for cracked
when stored in large quantities.
There will be less waste in ground
feeds If they are mixed as soon as
bought, for there is considerable waste
in constantly dipping feed out of bags,
II one has sufficient storage room this
ground mixed feed can be bought In
the early winter at an appreciable
saving on ton or even half-ton guam
titles.
If this feed is fed dry the hoppers
must be so constructed that the fowls

Solid for McGraw.
There Is no question but that the
convention will endorse j. j. McGraw
of Ponca City as national committee
man. thereby ratifying the action Of
the Republican state convention held
at Oklahoma City recently, and which
elected McGraw to that office. Jim
Harris, opponent of McGraw, admit
ted his defeat at Oklahoma City and is
now trying to trump up enough con-
tests in the district conventions to go
before the national committee and con-
test McGraw's right to serve. Harris
contends now that the national COM
mitteeman should be elected by the
delegates to the national convention,
but from present indications he will
fail even to secure that endorsement,
for a majority Of the national dele
gates will be McGraw men.
Harris supporters in this district
have been trying for several days to
secure proxies. and have even made
efforts to that end in Tulsa county,
which is overwhelmingly for McGraw.

listened to a 'long discussion on
the subject OF age in men and women,
and found that it closed without get

that men of any age were attractive

youth departed. Possibly the reason

NEGRO SENT TO FARM. !.
FOR FlEECING NEGROES
"Dr." Hayes Cured Diseases; Also Col
lected Fee For Putting Victims
on Road to '.Slave" Wealth.

A case rivaling that Of the famous
"Chief SAM" came to light yesterday,
when j. H. Hayes, negro, claiming to
be q minister, was fined $25 and SEN
fenced to 60 days on the county farm,
for operating a bunco game whereby
negroes of this section were fleeced
by the operation Of fake X-ray ma
chine and by the promises that upon
the payment Of money they would par.
ticipate in the division of millions OF
dollars that were being held by the
United States government Tor the
heirs Of former slaves.
Hayes travelled over the country and
examined negroes for ailments with
his machine, long black box with a
plass lens in one end. BY looking thru
Il. he claimed to be able to detect any
internal disorders with which his "pa-
tents were affected. He charged a
liberal fee for his services.
At the same time he listed negroes,
ct $3.50 per head, on the allegation
chat millions Of dollars lay in the
United States treasury. waiting to be
divided among them. Each was to re-
ceive $500.
Recently Hayes encountered Char
ley Brice, a victim and was told that
he was & fraud. He had Brice ar
rested for robbery, and when the case
came to trial yesterday, Justice e. G
Brewster discharged Brice, fined "Dr.'
Hayes, $25, and sent him to the county
farm, where he may try his x-ray or
boil weevils and other insectiverous
pests for the next sixty days.

Making Munitions For Our Army.
Not to have all the eggs in one bas-
ket is considered in many respects
an advantage and this is the policy
that Uncle Sam follows in providing
army ammunition. The responsibility
for providing projectiles is apportioned
among number of Government ar
senals located in different sections of
the country, whereas at the Picatinny
Arsenal is located the Army powder
factory and high explosive factory. Not
to burden the reader with too many
figures it may be noted that at the

ment last year expended one and

Whereupon our Federal powder
makers have gotten busy with the re-
suit that they have discovered that
they can manufacture their own acid
at cost of 3 cents per pound or less
and can. in one year, save the Govern
ment more than one-third of mil
lion dollars or enough to install the

AFTER IA YEARS! [

This Lady Tried Cardui. Let Her
Tell You in the Following State.
mcnt the Results She
Obtained.

Wise, Va.-Mrs. ]. NJ. Elan, of this
place, in writing of her female troll-
bles, says: "This trouble went on
for IA years, often | was unable to
work and suffered badly at ). times,
when ! could not be on my feet at
all. Really in bad health all the time
during those IA years, and was never
without pain, with awful backaching,
had no appetite, was nervous, but at
that time my husbands sister y.
recommended that l try Cardui, which
l began TO take and which has
caused me to be in better health ever
since. In few days l felt that I'M
provement had begun. My back got
stronger and less painful. got less
nervous and my appetite began to
improve. In few weeks my improve
ment was noticeable, and | got into
better health than l had had for IA
years. My walking before had
been very painful, and could not
stand on my feet to do any good.
After using these medicines, however,
! could walk without pain and was
able to do the work and housekeep-
ing for an ordinary family. My back
and appetite were better and also my
nerves"

the establishment also turns out upon
