country best adapted to that purpose,
scientifically killed and distributed so
as to reach her in perfect condition.
The quality of chicken is highest
from September to January; in the
case of broilers, before December.
The turkey season is very short
one. The best turkeys are those fat
tened as frost begins, and Christmas
turkeys are graded slightly higher
than those sold around Thanksgiving.
1t is estimated that rs per cent of
all poultry sold in the United States
is cold storage, which means frozen
hard. There is no reason to suppose
that clean, wholesome stock cannot
be preserved in this way for many
months, although microscopic exani-
nation does show some slight changes
in the muscle fiber.
In buying poultry, bear in mind
that fresh fowl has pale, soft, yellow
skin, sufficiently transparent to re-.
veal the clear pink of the muscles.
There should be clear pink Of sthe
muscles and no hint of green. The
feather papilae are visible because Of
their elevation and are the same in
color as the skin. The neck is smooth
and round, comb and gills red, eyes
full and the feet soft and pliable.
The fat is light yellow.
A cold storage fowl that has been
kept in good condition for ten months
will show whitish dry skin, less
translucent than that of the fresh
fowl

Echoes OF Miss Regina Connelps
debut dance are heard on every side
this morning. wasn't it a pretty
party?' they exclaim, and everyone
gladly assents. Only one person who
attended the. affair, however, knows
what commotion one of the gentle
men present caused on his way home.
The gentleman went to the party
alone. Madame, his wife, has recently
gone east for short trip, and so he
left his car at home and used the
street car as his conveyance. Coming
home early in the evening, he was
accosted at junction where he was
waiting for a car by man who
wheedled a nickel from him. When
he boarded the street car for which
he had waited, the conductor was
quite overcome by the unusual sight
Of high silk hat.
He stole surreptitious glances at it,
he winked at man riding on the
platform with him, and when the silk
hated one got off, after few blocks.
he giggled openly. Soon the car
reached railroad crossing, and the
motorman opened his door with a
loud ha-ha. didn't you know who
that was, you boob?" quoth he. well,
Pm not used to seeing silk hats" the
conductor said in self-defense.
Loud and long laughed the motor
man. They reached, another track and
he resumed the conversation. "Ha ha,
you were laughing at him, didn't you
have no better sense? Why he's one
of the directors of this company"

Mrs. l. M. Yerian, Wright
Ave-, Takes Own Life
Monday Afternoon.
DESPONOENT FOR SOME Time
Husband Found Her Upon Re-
turning to His Home
From Work

Dependency was the cause for Mrs.
Israel Yerian, 393 Wright avenue,
taking her own life at her home Mon
day evening by asphyxiation. Mrs.
Yerian had been in i'll health for
several months She was found re-
clining in chair by her husband when
he returned from work in the evening.
When Mr.. Yerian left for work
Monday morning there was no indica-
tion on the part of Mrs. Yerian that
she had made any plans to take her
life. In the afternoon while working
in the kitchen she deliberately stuff
ed up the cracks with rags and opened
up the eight burners of the gas
range. There was no indications of
any struggle.
Mrs. Yerian was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs Theron A. Johnson, pio-
neers of Pine River township, and has
resided in this vicinity most of hen
life. She received her education in
the country schools and also at Alma
college.
In 1911 she was married to !. NJ

near Pontiac After two years there
she was compelled TO return to thi;
city on account of i'll health caused boy

found little relief from the best ply
sicians until recently when she seem
ed TO improve and returned to he
home on Wright avenue. Mr.. Yeriai
is employed at the Republic Moto
Truck factory.
The funeral services were held thu
afternoon from the home on Wrigh
avenue at I: 80 o'clock.

NEUTRALITY WITH THE CIRCUS

One-third of the population of the
transient city comprising the Carl
Hagenbeck- Wallace circus, may be
estimated as foreigners. A large per
cent of the performers are not Amer
leans. Back in the dressing rooms
more than a dozen different languages
are SPOKEN. The number of those
idsnti. ed with the allies and those re-
lated TO the Germans and the Aus
trians are about equally divided.
In spite of the conditions and of the
fact that there are heated arguments
daily the orders of the management
that neutrality must be observed are
strictly obeyed. This is very doubt
full if the same rule could prevail in
any other sort of an institution with
out resulting in physical encounters
and possibly murders. The Carl Hag-
en-Wallace circus is now operated as
an American institution, controlling
and operated by Americans. They
advocate neutrality and are enforcing

IDLEHOUR THEATER OPENS

The Idlehour theater opened up un-
der the management of Clarence Mil
Ter of Grand Rapids last week, gives
this city one of the most complete
moving picture theaters in this part
of the state. Mr. Miller is an ex-
perienced man in entertaining the
public and emphatically states that
he is going to give the theater en-
thusiasts of the city the best in NOV
ing pictures.
The theater has an equipment that
is modern in every respect. Two OF
the latest type motor driven picture
machines enables the management to
give a continuous picture without de-
lays in changing films as is the usual
practice in other theaters. A Wagner
white light converter has also been
installed to take the flicker" out of
the pictures, and with a satin-gold
fiber screen, the best that can be
bought, the pictures will be as clear
and sharp four or five rows from the
front as farther in the rear of the
auditorium.
The ventilation of the theater has
been one of the great considerations
of Mr.. Miller. Electric fans are en-
ployed to keep the air in the theater
clean and cool. Since the theater
opened a week ago the nights have
been warm, but the large audience
have not been uncomfortable in the
least.
One of the nice things about the
Idlehour theater is the attractive and
quiet decorations of the theater walls
Mr.. Miller has endeavored to make
all the appointments in this line pleas
ing to the eye and has not failed II
his attempt. The opera seats are
large and easy, which adds much t.
moving picture entertainment. Th'

'CARRANzA MUST
ANSWER TODAY
President Goes Before Con-
gress this Afternoon
with Plans.
TROOPERS REPORTED FREED
Several Clashes Have Occurred
Along Border Between Mex
leo and L.. 5. Soldiers

General Trevino has ordered that
the American prisoners taken in the
flight at Carrizal, and now held at the
penitentary at Chilhauhau City, be re-
leased This dispatch was sent out
from FL Paso, Texas. Reports sent
out from Washington say that no COM
ment has been made on the release.
1t is stated, however, by officials at
Washington that Trevino's action TAX
ing of course on word from Carranza
complys only with part of the demands
of the United States. This country
demanded that Carranza declare his
attitude" towards the United States
and no intimation is made in the
answer to the note of the administra-
ton.
Secretary Lansing remains mum on
the press accounts coming from Mex
leo and it is thought that, perhaps, the
department has not as yet been offic-
tally informed of the attitude of Car
rama. Special Agent Rogers has
informed Lansing that the Amer
lean soldiers have been released.
The message from Rogers was the
first word the department had heard
from him since he reported the de-
| livery of the note TO Carranza. There
was nothing to indicate today that
the administration had undergone any
change. Officials still expect Presi-
dent Wilson to go to congress today
if Carranza fails to act or reply favor
ably. No suggestions or proposals of
negotiations will be accepted.
1t is thought in diplomatic circles
that the delay of carranza is inten-
tional, and that he is waiting to hear
from South and Central American
countries. Many of the South Ameri-
can papers have come out empha.
tically for the United States II
this is the case Carranza can't expect
much help from the south.
Carranza troops are appearing
south of the American line, but
at no point are they sufficiently
close to cause fear of clash. This j:
the gist of a report brought in to heaC
quarters at Columbus, New Mexico
late last night 1t is reported tha
several shots were fired upon Mexi
cans as they tried to cross the line il
the vicinity of Nogales, Arizona, ear
ly yesterday morning.
Pending the arrival of the missing
delegates or instructions to fill thei
places, there will be no session of tn
American union against militarism to
day. The union is endeavoring TO aver
war between this country and Mexico
David Starr Jordon stated that othe
unions would join him here before tn
