COMBINED COOP FOR CHICKS
Pen Large Enough to Accommodate
Four Hens Designed by University
Of Missouri Experts.

tBy PROF. II. l.. KEMPSTER, Univer~
sty of Missouri, College of Agriculture.
A combined Matching, brooding and
housing coop which is large enough to
accommodate four hens and is as good
as 60-egg incubator has been de-
signed by the poultry department Of
the University of Missouri Farmes1
who have used this coop have pro-
nounced it a success. This coop does
away with the little "A"-shaped coops
which are commonly given to hens
after they have Matched their broodx
and which are soon outgrown by what
chicks remain after the spring rains
and rats have taken their toll.
The coop is three feet wide, six feet
long, two feet high in the rear and
three feet high in front A door eight
inches high runs the entire length of
he back so as to permit easy access to
the hen. The front consists OF four
little doors covered with rat-proof wire
acting These slide up and down
Just beneath the caves is door foot
wide running along the front. The
opening made by this door is covered
with wire screen also. By opening
this door sufficient light is afforded.
and also protection from rains. In
front Of this coop is placed four run
ways corresponding to the four open
lngs. These are foot high and three
feet long. They are covered with wire
screen also.
The coop can be used for Matching
and brooding. 1t is divided by burlap
frames into four compartments. The
aim is to set four hens in the back

The gradual extension of the tung

Clear Creek counties-where molyb

The location OF two forms of tung

Leadville gold belt by Experts Fitch

Geological Survey places additional
emphasis upon the problem presented
by the huebnerite ores of the Ward

Income Tax Defective,

Attention is called by a committee
of the National Tax association to the
fact that the statistics published by
the government relating to income-tax
results are very meager. Without ask
ing that facts be set forth indicating
the wealth of particular individuals as
shown by the tax returns. the commit.
tee would have the government pre-
sent to the public much more infor'
nation of general nature than thus
far the authorities have chosen to pre-
sent.

the glaring faults of its application
should be corrected.

Matching the chicks from two hens

Tax That Would Be Just.

Where amassed wealth has been the
result of talent or enterprise well en-
ployed and not a result of extracting
the stored resources of nature. 1t will
still be highly appropriate to impose
an Inheritance tax upon the fortunes
thus acquired.
Yet another thing the Democrats
might serviceably do would be the
wfping out of the present war tax and
failure to enact any tax OF its parttcu-
lar type. Instead a special tax should
be imposed upon all kinds OF NUM-
tons Of war at their places of manu-
facture, SO as to avoid an export tax
that would be unconstitutional.

SWIM RIVER TO
 SAVE COMRADES
MEXICANS CAPTURE U. s. SOL DIERS AND COMRADES
 FOLLOW AND DIE.

BROWNSVILLE, Jan. 27. - Be cause two of their fellow soldiers were captured by Mexicans on Mexi- can soil band of American officers and privates swan the Rio Grande yesterday in the attempt to rescue the prisoners and two of the officers have now been ordered arrested by General Funston because they dis obeyed the rule that no American soldier should cross into Mexico un- der any circumstances whatever. The most serious fact connected with the occurrence is that four American soldiers are believed to have been drowned in the attempt to swim across. The whole thing began when two U. s. artilierymen stationed at Progresso took it into their heads to swim across to the Mexican side. On landing on the Mexican shore they were captured by armed Mexican citizens. On fearing of their capture three American lieutenants and four privates took to the water to go to the rescue and as they swan they were exposed to a cross fire of rifles the Mexicans and the Americans hay ing opened fire at each other across the stream. The happening is the culmination of bad feeling which has existed for some time between the people and soldiers of the two nationalitieS in that quarter and Gen eral Funston has candidly expressed the belief that the American soldiers are at fault by constantly irritating the Mexicans with taunts and words of contempt. The fate of the four men missing has not yet been posi- lively ascertained.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 27.-Tele- graphic advices here state that Will liam Jennings Bryan has decided to join the Ford permanent peace body and to exert all his influence towards gaining the attention of the heads of the belligerent nations. The news papers here express some astonish- ment that the former secretary of state of a great nation would so risk his standing as to join body at which most of Europe is now hurling shafts of ridicule. On the other hand it is felt that the presence of Bryan may raise the standing of the peace party.
