The chicken house for the average ANA
teur. either city dweller or suburbanite, need
not be elaborate in fact II is better from the
standpoint of caretaking as we'll as from
that OF construction economy that II should
not be. An extensive and burdensome
plant Is hard TO take care of. and the labor
entailed will Offset any benefits 30 much
that enthusiasm will soon be dampened.
IL Is really better to have a $40 house with
a 500 flock In II than the 500 house with
n $40 flock to dwell therein.
A house that Is built to endure the on
slaught of winter will be Of sufficient cal
iber TO do excelently for the summer II
properly planned. So the problem re-
solves itself into one OF hibernia or winter
quarters
First Of all the inquirer wants to be
told how much room II will take to win
ter over his flock In a substantial and safe
manner. without accurate knowledge of
the area required nobody will make the
adventure into poultry. Authorities are
agreed that n safe rule to follow is to
allow five square feet for each chicken.
In well-kept pens some hocks are kept in
quarters allowing four square feet to each
fowl, but we would advise allowing five
feet, and in the suburbs, where room is more
ample. six feet But the fact remains
that when the house Is kept clean the
diet is right In quantity and qaulity, and es-
pecially in nutritive values. and the stock
is good, laying fiocks can be managed with
profit in smaller quarters four or five feet
to each fowl. Where only a half to a dozen
chickens are the limit of the flock, It Is
well to add little extra area for good
measure. Where as many fifty birds
are to be kept the dimensions can be lit
orally followed.

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mir. Gompers, remembering only that he is Democrat and forget. ting that he is leader of organized labor. ventured to assert that MT. Hughes is unfriendly to labor because he concurred in the unanimous deci- sion in the Danbury hatters' case, he ventured on very thin ice. The Chicago Tribune promptly reminds him that an honest judge must apply the law as he thinks 1t is, not as he thinks 1t ought to be, and asks him to tell those who look to him for political advice some thing about the record of MT. Hughes as governor. Read what the Legislative Labor News, the official organ of the New York Federation of Labor, said editorially when Mir. Hughes left the governors chair at Albany for his place on the supreme court Here it is:
 "Now that Governor Hughes has re- tired from politics and ascended to place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowl- edged without hurting anybody's polit- ical corns that he was the greatest ol luuot ih"n that cNci ONCupltu the governors chair at Albany. During his two terms he has signed fifty-six labor laws, including among them the best labor laws ever enacted fin this or any state.
 He also urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the legis- lature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the legislature.
 "Only 162 labor laws have been en- acted in this state since its erection in 1777-in 1S3 years. One-third of these. exceeding in quality all of the others. have been enacted and signed during Governor Hughes term of three years and nine months"
 Let organized labor take to heart what the Chicago Tribune says on this point: "Mr Hughes is no demagogue and no visionary. He is man of cour- age and conscience, and if labor can not confide its cause to his rock bot tom Americanism there Is something wrong with its ause."-Boston Her aid,

AN UNBIASED VIEW.
Comment In Washington Shove Hughes Speeches Have Con.
 crete Effect.

From Washington correspondence New York Evening Post:
 It is idle even for the Democrats to claim that Mir. Hughes speeches have not been effective. Whether or not they have seemed so to the voters in the west and northwest is something very difficult to judge at this distance, but 1t is not to be denied that right here in Washington MT Hughes utter ances have had very concrete effect. It is an i'll wind that blows no good. The rumpus that Mir. Hughes has stirred up about civil service reform has really got under the skin of the administration. It is something which the president and his political advisers carelessly ignored. So 1t is with DOT tion of Mir. Hughes criticism of the Mexican poMcy. When he argues that the paramount duty of the United States is to protect its citizens abroad in their lives and property he is stand ing on unimpeachable ground. And the administration knows 1t. The ef- feet certainly of Mir. Hughes remarks will be to stiffen the hand of the ad- ministration in dealing with ques. ton of protection for Americans abroad

STUDY FIRST, ATHLETICS
 NEXT AT BIG NORMAL

Pratt Udall has been confined to his room for the last few days with a slight attack of appendicitis. He is re- covering and will soon be about again.
 The Adelphian Society had good program last Wednesday evening. Miss Haywood gave violin solo, MT. Smith gave the current events, and a number of other numbers were en- joyed. The Adelphians are confident of winning the football game which is to be held with the Literatis in the near future. With Hamblin, Lowery, Williams, George, Beaton, Owens, and many other good men they will have strong team. The society has in creased it's membership and much more interest is being aroused.
 Winter is certainly settling down upon the Normal school. A number of colds appeared and consequently, red noses. The girls are exchanging their fine white gowns for material of a more serviceable nature, and the boys are buying high top shoes and heavy sweaters.
 Much interest is being shown by a number for the organization of a winter sport club. The Normal school has no gymnasium, so the students must find recreation elsewhere. The purpose of the club will be to arrange for skiing parties, skating parties, coasting parties, and hiking parties.
 Last Friday night number of Nor maj school students went upon Ob- servatory hill for a "Weinie Roast" Marshmallows and weinies were both roasted over roaring fire, and the jolly bunch enjoyed themselves until 10:00 p. m.
 Breakfast was had at 6:15 on Mon day morning so as to permit the students to near Candidate Hanley, running on the Prohibition ticket, speak at the Orpheum. They returned in time for their 8:15 classes. Many also were allowed to go Monday even ing to hear the Hon. Henry F. Ash urst speak at the court house. While it is important that they should be intelligent citizens and know some thing of what our voters know.
 The time between $40 and 7:30 is very much enjoyed by the Normal students. For they are permitted to dance at one of the halls. The chairs and rugs are removed and number of girls furnish the music. Then many new steps are attempted and jolly time is had until study hour begins. MT. Victor R. Stoner, graduate of the the class of '16 has returned to
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

the Normal school. He is seeking a school in Arizona, and halls from Vic toria, Texas. He states that he loves Flagstaff, and the pines, and intends to make this part of the state his future home. He is taking some post graduate work until he secures a position.
 Mir. Bryan Jones, accompanied by Miss Mel Brandt, spent the weekend with his mother, Mrs. Bertha Jones, at Camp Verde. She returned with them to spend the winter in Flag staff, and will reopen her home here. Mir Jones will not room longer at the dormitory, but will move to his home with his mother.
 Miss Pear Fuller, who attended Normal school last term, came in from Payson, Arizona, on Tuesday, to resume her studies here. Although she comes late, she will be able to catch up in her work and carry it along with the other classes.
 On the cool evenings the tennis courts serve as skating rinks. A num- Der of students have secured roller skates and are training for the ice skating this winter.
 First Game of Football
 The first game of the football sea- son will be played here on Saturday, Sept. 30th. Coach Thorpe is working his men hard this week, so as to have them in good trim for the game.
 The men have developed very we'll since securing their training table and very fast game is expected. The first team has not been picked and Coach Thorpe intends to use every man, if possible, so as to test out all of his material. There is Jones, who can pass ball as straight as an ar row for 40 yards, George, tall fast track man who never misses for ward pass. Captain Beaton, a good fast end and one who is becoming better each day. Prather, who was a guard, but who is now one of the best plunging full-backs in the state, White, last years tackle, who is now a back-field, Williams, the ,invincible little quarterback, Bongberg, last years tackle, Lowery, a new man, but a mass of strength and bulk on the line, Owens, also new man, but who has no equal for strength, and Mar shall, coming tackle.
 With this suggested lineup, Wins low will have to go some, but never the-less a good game is expected and every one is urged to come and root for the coming "state team"-Flag- staff Normal team. Milford Hamblin, last years plunging half-back, has been kept out of the game because of an injured side. The doctor says his spleen has been injured and that his

THE GREATEST OF REApJusTERs

IFrom the New York Evening Post.l
 We do not see why there should have been any stir in the senate over the discovery that President Wilson has completely reversed himself in tho matter of the proposed child labor law. Senator Borah was able to show that Mir. Wilson described this legis- lation in his Constitutional Govern ment" as unconstitutional and lob viously absurd extravaganza" carrying the congressional power to regulats commerce beyond the utmost bounda- ries of reasonable and honest infer ence," and making 1t possible. If sus- tained, for congress to legislate over "every particular of the industrial or ganization and action of the country" That, we must confess, has also been the Evening Posts view. But the Evening Post and Senator Borah are old fogies, dating back to the time when 1t was the custom to have fixed beliefs and principles and stick to them.
 The senator has evidently not read Mir. Wilson's letter in explaining his change of front on the tariff commis. sion-that 1t is only narrow man whose mind Is stupidly closed to new ideas, who does not alter his opinions. By this test Mir. Wilson Is obviously one of the broadest minded men this country has ever produced, for he has changed his mind to date on the initia- tive, referendum, recall, woman suf- frage, the tariff commission, tariffs for revenue only. a permanent diplomatic service beyond politics, the merit sys- tenn in the civil service, the proper place of Tammany Hall fin the scheme of the universe. child labor legislation, preparedness, Bryan. continental ar My-but why continuef It is long enough list to prove that MT.

must not take any violent exercise until it recovers. This may cause Hamblin to be out for the season. It is hoped not, for Hamblin is very heady and very fast player. Brandt, last years captain and star, will be out for two or three weeks because of the work he is doing for the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company. The Nor nal team has close schedule for the next month. They play Winslow here on the 30th, Prescott on Saturday, October 7th, and Phoenix here on Oct. 14th, and the Tempe Normal school here on Thanksgiving Day. These are some splendid games, and the people of Flagstaff have the best chance in the world to see some of the best players in the state in action in those games. The Normal school will also play a number of games away from home. but it is important now that every one come out and root for them on Saturday, October 3Oth.
 Basket Ball Games
 Coach Honn is soon to pick his first team of girl basketball players. The team will take its regular trip to the Valley during fair week, for the pur- pose of securing the state champion ship again, which it has held for the last five years. Three of the team will be, Miss Kathelene Anderson, Miss Alleen Robertson, and Miss Yer nice Misenheimer, who were on the state champions team last year.
 Students Must Play the Game
 The faculty have made recent rul- ing that student must carry at least 15 hours work to be able to take par. in athletics. Some of the students had better notice this for it may mean that they will not get to play. But this is the first school where they have ever enforced that rule. Ordin- , arily, schools are very anxious to secure good players and are very easy with men who can help better the strength of team, but it seems that the Normal school does not care for that If student plays in the ath- letics, no matter how good a player he is, he must carry his work, and at least 15 hours per week.
