CrOckreIs, Hens and Pullets
Should Be Sold Before Win

Fall is the season for reducing
poultry Hocks, George w. Her
vey of the College of Agriculture
of the University Of Missouri
says. Surplus cockrels should
be disposed of and older cocks
and hens sold, unless the hens
are good producers. Pullets that
are weak or in any way deform-
ed should not be kept through
the winter. 1t is a matter of un-
necessary expense, Mr.. Heryey
says, and the culling out process
will make the flock stronger.
Sickness of poultry in the win
ter, especially respiratory dis
eases such as roup and colds, is
the result Of poorly constructed
shelters. There should be from
two to five square feet of floor
space for each bird and one nest
box for every four birds. Five

should be placed on the floor.

Robert /. Bob) Simpson, of
Bosworth, Mo-, a senior in the

WILSON TO TAKE
THE OATH SUNDAY
First Swearing Into Office on
March A VIII BE Repeated
The FoTowin0 nav

- 1890 49,
an examination of its records in
a search for presidents, the
State Department holds that in
its views there is no interval be-
tween the term of one President
and the beginning of his success
or, although there may be
a slight interval when the ex-
ecutive power is suspended"
The department also holds that
the fact that President Wilson's
first term will expire on a Sun
day will not leave a HIATUS in the
Office Of President until noon of
Monday, March 5, 1917, when
Mr.. Wilson will formally take the
oath of Office for a second term.
In order to obviate the raising
of any question as to what per-
son is exercising the functions of
chief executive on Sunday,
March A, 1917, Secretary Lans-
ing viii advise President Wilson
to take the oath for a second
term on that day. The oath viii
be re-administered to Mr.. Will
son on Monday, March 5.
The ruling of the State Depart
ment disposes of the theory that
the Secretary of State-in this
case, Mr.. Lansing-wiIl become
acting President or President
ad interim for the period be-
tween midnight on Saturday,
March 8, 1917, and noon Mon
day, March 5, when Mr.. Wilson
will be formally inaugurated for
a second term Search of the
archives of the State Depart
ment brought to light sufficient
evidence to lay the ghost Of IAN
historical tradition that Vive-
President Daniel D. Tompkins of
New York served as President
for the twenty-four hours of
Sunday, March A, 1921, between
the first and second terms of
President Monroe.
The position of the State De-
partment is based mainly on a
letter found in the archives,
written by Chief Justice John
Marshall to John Quincy Adams,
Secretary of State, dated Feb.
20, 1921. Monroe had been
S&0AA
elected President for the term
beginning March 4, 1877, and re-
elected for the term beginning
March A, 1921. The Marshall
letter shows that Adams, in con-
~versation with the Chief Justice
had spoken of the fact that
March A, 1921, would fall on a
Sunday and he was concerned to
know whether it would be proper
or permissible for President
Monroe to take the oath of office
for the second term on that day
and if his failure to be inaugu-
rated then would leave a hiatus
in the Office of President for the
twenty-four hours.
The letter is in the handwrit-
ing of the Chief Justice and was
copied at the State Department
today for the New York Times
correspondent out of a mustv
volume of records bound in
sheepskin. In its application to
a.
the case of Woodrow Wilson.
one of the interesting features
is that while Mr.. Wilson will still
be President on Sunday, March
4, 1917, after his first term ex-
pires, he viii not be constitu-
tionally empowered to perform
any executive function until he
has taken the oath of office for
a second term on Monday, March
s.
The letter Of Chief Justice
Marshall reads as follows:

i have %conversed with my

"As the Constitution only pro
vides that the President shall
take the oath it prescribes be-
fore he enters on the execution
of his Office and as the law is
silent on the subject, the times
seems to be in some measure at
the discretion of that high Of
