AMPLE SHADE FOR POULTRY

engagements in Young Chicks,
PouIts and GosIings.

It is essential to provide shade for
both young and old birds these hot
summer days. Exposure to excessive
sun and heat causes systematic de.
rangements which result in loss OF
many young chicks, poults, ducklings,

his query. One was from young girl
OF eighteen, slave in a sweatshop In
New York. She wrote In part: God
bless you for giving me the hope that
some day | may meet one who will
care for me enough to ask me to
marry. 1t is the one bright jewel Of
hope that makes my life Of toll endur-
able"
Another wrote: IF I could write
for the papers as you do, would tell
girls that they can live very happy
lives without so much as a thought
wasted on man and marriage. l am
young, single and happy, independent
Of mere man in the pursuit of what
shall give me life contentment and
shall continue to remain SO. Advise
girls against love and matrimony."
The third was apparently written
by a shaking hand. The writer con-
fessed to over fifty years, signing her
self "A Spinster." She wrote In part:
Il have just been reading one of your
articles on love and marriage and 1t
has brought tears to my eyes. 1t is SO
true-every word of it. When | was a
young girl l was told that it showed

realized the truth. Youth time is loves
own time and the time for mating. 1t
is a grievous mistake In most cases
to delay it. Ten years more passed
and still another ten. The theory that

is all wrong"
That my articles on heart topics
should be wise and worthy, l caused
letters to young girls, single women
just past the first bloom of womanhood
and elderly spinsters mothers and
widows, to be sent out asking their
experience and views on the subject
as to whether or not young girls
should be encouraged to believe mar
rage to be the goal toward which their
ambition and hopes should be aimed.
In every instance a reply, direct from
the heart was received. It was stu
pendous bat interesting task-reading
these letters, separating the wheat
from the husks.
Every phase of love has been laid
bare before me. The unanimous YER
dict was that girls should be told that
marriage is the probable outcome of
their existence, a natural result-when
the right man is met, which will be an
honorable man, one who holds youth
and virtue sacred-in truth, the
rose bloom which jewels her ex-
istence. 1t is also held by this
vast majority of writer's that great
good is accomplished in pointing
out to unsophisticated young girls
where the pitfalls lie in loves
paths and the stumbling blocks. There
are danger signals to hesitating, weak
natures that might love unwsely and
too well. To sum up the matter, girls
should always connect the thought of
marriage with love.

PLANT SUMMER LEGUME CROP
cowpeas, Soy or Velvet Beans Should
Be Sown as Soon as Oats and
Wheat Are Harvested.

As fast MS the oat and wheat crops
are taken from the fields some summer
legume like cowpeas, soy or velvet
beans should be planted. Such seeds
are plentiful and cheap this year and
no stubble, or other land, should be
allowed to lie idle through the sum
mer. An application of from 200 to
400 pounds of 16 per cent acid phos-
plate should be made as these crops,
and all other legumes as well, require
a great deal of phosphorus.

FALLING IN LOVE TOO QUICKLY.

These violent delights have violent ends.
And in their triumph die like fire and
powder
Which as they kiss consume. The sweet
est honey
Is loathsome in its own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore, love moderately. Long love
doth do;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
No one save Shakespeare could aim
at and hit truth more sQuarely in
the words violent delights have vio-
lent ends" Putting it more plainly
he meant to say; Loving in haste is
a passion which soon burns itself out.

THEATREGOERs THANK DuBEAU
Commend Manager of the Caughren
for Bringing 'The Birth of a
Nation" to Sank Centre.

Slightly less than a thousand per-
sons attended the two performances
Of "The Birth of a Nation" at the
Caughren theatre Sunday afternoon
and evening and everyone left the
playhouse thrilled and yet awed by
the stupendous spectacle. On all sides
were heard words of commentator
for Manager Dubeau for procuring
such high-class attraction for city
of this size and his pluck in taking the
financial chances he did in staging
such a costly show. Because of the
enormous guarantee required by the
picture company and the heavy adver-
Using expenses, Manager Dubeau
found himself only trifle on the
right side of the ledger after
checking up but declares himself re-
paid in having felt the pulse of Sank
Centre regarding big shows and find
ing it so strong and healthy. AS a
result of the patronage accorded the
play local theatregoers may look for
other big attractions in the future.
"The Birth of a Nation" must be
seen to be appreciated. No pen pic
ture can adequately describe the spec
tacle. 1t is stupendous, gorgeous,
thrilling, awful-and there were times
last Sunday afternoon and night when
there were few dry eyes in the the
atre. The most exaggerated adJec-
tives are weak when one attempts TO
describe some of the war scenes or
some of the heart scenes. Its best
test is that every onloOker sits Tor
three solid hours tense and rigid and
at the end of the last reel is sorry It's
all over. Press agents and advertise
ment writer's did not "overplay" their
advance announcements. The 25-piece
orchestra furnished a delightful con-
cert program as well as cleverly fur
nishing effects" during the progress
of the play.

ING OF ROCHESTER FOR
STATE TREASURER

St. Paul, Feb. NV. J. Smith,
state treasurer, indicted for first de-
gree grand larceny in connection with
Irregularities in his office amounting
to $4,000, today resigned as state
treasurer. He gave the resignation
to Geo. LaFond, a clerk in the treas
urer's office, who took it to the cap
itol for the purpose of handing it to
Gov. Burnquist. The Governor was
not in his office at the time, having
gone to attend the funeral of Josiah
R. King, the Grand Army veteran, the
first volunteer to enlist in the United
States in the Civil war. LaFond stat
ed that he would wait in the capitol
until Gov. Burnquist returned to the
office. 1t is expected that Gov. Burn
quist will almost Immediately appoint
Smiths successor. He is consider
ing for such appointment A. C. Good
ing, of Rochester, and Deputy State
Treasurer E. L. Erickson.
In the meantime w. j. Smith is
remaining at the Gatlin institute
where he is guarded by Ramsey coun-
ty deputy sheriffs, bench warrant
for his arrest having been served on
him yesterday. His removal from the
institute is being delayed by the state
ment of the doctors that to do so
might endanger his life.
st. Paul, Feb. PA strict watch is
being kept over Walter j. Smith,
treasurer of Minnesota, by Ramsey
county deputy sheriffs in his room on
the second floor of the Gatlin Instl-
tute in Minneapolis to prevent the
man accused Of misusing state funds
from doing himself harm.
The action was taken Immediately

mental condition he might take no.
ton to jump through one of the win
dows."
DR.. Brodie, however, said it would
not be best to move Smith now be-
cause Of his weakened condition. He
will be kept at the Gatlin institute
until his condition improves sufficient
ly to bring him to St. Paul.
DR.. Brodie declared that Mr. Smith
is in critical condition and that tt
move him for at least three or four
days would be a serious menace te
his life.
Deputy Sheriff Fensternacher car
ried three warrants charging grand
larceny to serve on the state treas
urer, but because of the latter's con-
dition he did not think it best to
serve them.

SKI SOMERSAULTER CRIPPLED
Sank Centreites who journeyed to
Sank Rapids last fall to attend the
Benton County Fair on Stearns coun-
ty day will remember the thrill they
received when Axel Hendrickson
mounted lofty ski tower, glided
down the CREASED incline, turned a
complete somersault in air, skis and
all, and alighted safely on his skis
on creased track on the ground.
Last Saturday at Madison, Wis,
while practicing long jumping for the
Mt. Horeb ski tournament, Hendrick-
son took nasty fall and suffered p
badly fractured leg. Sunday the at
tending surgeons found it necessary
to amputate the shattered limb to
save Hendricksons' life. During his
career as a somersaulter on skis Hen
erickson has brought thrills to many
thousands of people and never in ex-
hibition somersaulting had received
serious injury. He was jumping when
he received the injury which ends his
show days.
