Immediately and start training for the
match. Since leaving Boise Kilonis,
with Yokel and George Nelson, met
Joe Stecher, the Nebraska marvel,

to the mat in less than half an hour.
Stecher just occupied three and one

took on Nelson and with a body hold
laid him flat on his back in seven and

in seven minutes.
Promoter Collins has made offers to
Frank Gotch and Stecher to meet the

never could get behind him. Stecher's
admirers, on the other hand, asserted
that Stecher had plenty of speed.

Hal" Chase has come back. He
has bolstered up the Red Clan where
it was weakest--in the outfield. He is

EnaIand May ADOPT RasebaIl.

Baseball has at last obtained firm
foothold in England and is being
played to such an extent in and around
London by Canadians whom the war
has brought over that a league has
been formed among teams drawn from
the army pay Office and other colonial
units, the staffs of the various Cana
dian military hospitals and munition
workers, the New York Times says.
With the football season extending
from September / to April 30,, and
cricket occupying the summer months,
baseball had never been considered Sc
riously, but since the outbreak of the
war, when county cricket was aban-
doned, the Canadians have succeeded
in arousing much enthusiasm in base
ball that it's future seems assured.

If were giving counsel to the hus-

either.
MY husband loves my people as If

very dearly, but he overlooked those
characteristics which n inore selfish
man would have resented. If it was

it was gloriously unselfish cne.
Most of us can stand the tenpcrs

when we see them through the eyes

POULTRY POINTERS

Feeding pens for the little chicks
will be necessary in order to prevent
injury to them by the older fowls.
You can tell laying hen as far as
you can see her. Her comb is always
bright and healthy looking.
If you do not intend to use hens for
Matching, break them up at once and
get them to laying again.
When the hens are laying regularly
more food should be supplied and with
more food comes the necessity of
more exercise.
When chicks or hens are confined in
small yards, it is best to feed little
and often in order to keep the birds
busy and contented.
Never grease the hen that is setting,
as grease getting ON the shells of the
eggs will close the pores and smother
the chickens.
Poultry yards should have shade for
chickens during the summer. If your
hens do not have shade, plant trees
for this purpose.
Make it point to keep the chicks
busy scratching. Scatter fine grains
in the litter, and by scratching it out
they will get the exercise necessary
to good health.
Don't relax feeding the young chicks
during the hot summer months, be-
cause you think there is plenty of
grass and bugs for them. They need
more than that.
Guard against the formation of egg
eating habits by giving the fowls plen-
ty of lime, oyster shells, bone or sim
liar substances to insure a firm shell
upon the eggs.
Soak stale bread in sweet skim
milk, press out the milk as completely
as possible, and feed the chicks. Also
keep coarse sand before them; with
out it the chicks cannot grind their
food.
Do not forget that in the compost
ton of an egg there is great proper
tion of water, and the laying hen can
not produce eggs unless she has all
the water she wants, and at the time
she wants it.
