FEATHER PULLING FOWLS.

TO Cure This Habit Plenty of Exercise
Is Recommended.
Feather eating is a vice which fowls
acquire most frequently when they lack
something to occupy their time, writes
correspondent of American Agricul-
t1rist 1t is not unknown even where
fowls have free range The first thing
is to discover the offender. Unless the
fowls so destructive are Of special
value it is best to kill them for the
table. When this is not advisable they
should be made to work more for their
living. Instead of feeding cut bone or
lean meat in chunks let them pick the
meat from bones on which it has par
TALLY dried or hang up strips OF dried
hard meat which they will peck. The
idea should be to divert attention long
enough to make the fowl forget the
habit.
The cure consists In removing the
worst offenders and giving the others
exercise. Bits of wire fastened in the
mouth were formerly recommended
and are still used somewhat. These are
inserted so the wire passes through the
upper mandible at the nOStril and
through the beak, which it prevents
from being tightly closed. Thus the
fowl cannot grasp feather. Edges of
upper mandibe may be trimmed.

Communication

Dear Editor:
We observe from last weeks
issue Of The Times that the Gem
Theatre was prevented from
operating on Sunday afternoons.
IF the theatres should be open
any time on Sunday-it should
be Sunday afternoon.
But, there is an agreement or an
agreement was entered into
sometime in the past between
the theatres and ........? Well
who is the other party? Were
the churches considered in this
agreement?
Are there greater agents for
good in our city than the
churches?
How would it be to close the
picture shows ALL DAY Sun
day? It would be law enforce
ment by the authorities. There
are other places of amusement
that should follow suit" and
close on the Lords day.
Should it be necessary to line
up an army of voters with long
petitions to push and beg the
executives to do their duty!
Running the picture shows and
the pool rooms on the Lords day
has been a curse to the churches.
Give the churches also chance.
Another Thing
A number of stores agreed to
close on Sunday, for their own
benefits. Why are some selling
goods on Sunday now? Are they
so anxious to be slaves and to
make their clerks slaves? True,
the customers are to blame who
try their level best to neglect to
buy when they ought to buy and
then do their shopping on Sum
day. Let us apply the Golden
Rule right here.
And if the merchants, all of
them, had put that sign where
customers could see it, as re-
quested, and locked the door
and ''lost the key" just for Sum
day--they would not have been
bothered now.
Yours for improvement,
Chr. Christensen.

The UItimatum.

An ultimatum is something that
never begins to work until it is
thrown down. And it is only in
force after it has been ignored. Be-
fore an ultimatum is presented YOU
may be at the enemy's mercy, after
ward you are at his mercy and your
OWE. An ultimatum is something
that you cannot take back. If yor
did you would be giving it up
When you hold it, it is useless;
when you lay it down, you live up
to it; if you don't, you're a goner.

The brewery and saloon interests
at Superior must be beginning to
worry over the coming spring cam
paign on the license question for
they started out the first of the year
with full page advertisement in the
Superior Telegram attempting to
show the great benefit" the saloon
business is to Superior.
Assuming that the figures they
give are correct we find that total
of 527 people are given employment
by this industry at wages averaging
less than 500 per month while the
sum of $4,000 is paid into the city
treasury for license.
There is no business in existence
where the number of men employed
is SO small compared with the amount
of CAPITOL invested as the liquor bust
ness. Assuming that like amount
of capitol were invested in any other
industry the amount of labor en-
ployed would be from five times and
upward greater.
Last spring the city OF Superior
came within fifteen votes OF going
dry and the liquor interests Will have
hard time trying to cram their
figures down the Threats of the voters.
The voters today usually reason
matters of this kind out for them
selves and it would not be at all
surprising if the second city OF Wis
consin would go dry at the coming
spring election.
The dry forces can find plenty OF
figures and statistics to disprove any
argument the liquor interests may
make and they will probably do it
when the proper time comes.

HAVE YOU noticed of late the large
increase in the amount of traffic upon
the main streets of the city? 1t is
noticeable, alright. Some years ago
a picture was taken of Washburn S
main street, the picture to be used
on postal cards, and the cards were
labeled Washburn on Busy Day.
Whether this picture was taken fora
joke or represented actual conditions
is only known ito the photographer
but the only signs of activity along
the street was Dan COrnings old
horse "Bess" standing in front of the
Pioneer Grocery Store.
Since that time Mr.. Corning has
had to increase his number of horses
and there is great activity along the
streets at all times of the day or
night. Where few years ago Mr..
Corning's one horse represented the
only activity along the street now
is to be seen dozens of wagons and
hundreds of people.
The farming section near the city
is furnishing it's quote of business and
and in every direction there are signs
of prosperity.

ONE OF the best indications Of the
prosperous condition Of the city is
shown by the large increase in bust
ness at the local banks during the
past six months. There has been a
wonderful increase in the open &C
counts while the savings accounts also
show large gains.
When the banking business is good
it is one of the best indications that
business is good and that people have
money. The banking business is the
barometer of business conditions.

In addition to the speakers and lee
turers furnished by the Extension
Division of the University of Wiscon-
sin there will also be short talks by
representative local people.
The community institute will last
for three days and during that time
there will be meetings for business
people, meetings for farmers, meet
ings for the school children and
meetings for the women.
The committee in charge is COM
posed of Nels M. Oscar, F. T. Beers
and D. M. Maxcy which means that
this trio of hustlers will insure the
institute being grand success.
A GENTLEMAN from Superior was
commenting the other day on the
great change that has taken place in
Washburn during the past year or SO.
This gentleman said he was men,
Der of the Rotary Club which made
visit to this city two years ago.
Upon the first visit to this city peo-
pie seemed discouraged and there
was but a small turnout to greet the
Superior Boosters. Now conditions
have changed and everyone living
here has a good word for the odd
Town and everyone looks to the
future for even greater prosperity.
He said that Washburn was now
talked about as being one of the best
cities of it's size in the country and a
visit to the place does not change
this impression.
