TODAY'S POEM
THE GLORIOUS GOBBLER.

All hail the glorious gobbler!
When autumn skies are gray
He mounts his china platter thron
And rules Thanksgiving Day;
IT Is noble oval
ka=lh gilded garlands fair,
>~x may be an heirloom priced
OF old blue willow ware.
Salute the glorious gobbler;
(Though sometimes it's a hem
That dawns in appetizing brown
Upon our famished ken).
He wears his festal dressing
Contrariwise, within,
Receiving all his subjects true
In nothing but his skin.
Here's to the glorious gobbler!
Though far afield they roam,
Yet in his honor every year
The children gather home.
His drumsticks beat assembly
From mountain top to sea,
He wears a golden celery crown,
The king Of birds is he.
Long live the glorious gobbler,
With his attendant pies,
Mince, pumpkin, apple, cranberry,
And each Of generous size.
OF all the famous monarchs
From Ecuador to Spain,
He is the only one who boasts
An undisputed reign.

How vain a thing is mortal love
Wandering in haven far removed.

AVIATION SCHOOL IN EGYPT
British Forces Ars Establishing elo
institution for instruction
Of Pilots.

Cairo, Egypt.-At a place which can
be designated only as somewhere in
Egypt" the British forces are estab.
fishing what will be one of the largest
and most completely equipped aviation
schools in the world. An Associated
Press correspondent who recently Wis.
tied the site found the school near
completion, and he was told that at
least seven thoroughly qualified pupils
in the art of flying will be graduated
each week SO long as the war lasts, for
service not only with the British
forces in Egypt, but elsewhere if de-
manded.
This part of the world was chosen
for the school mainly because it is
adapted climatically to flying the
whole year round, and because 1t is
handy to the various theaters of war.
incidentally an observer here might
remark that the sands of the desert
also furnish soft bed for the mex
perienccd to fall upon.
The school will accommodate, in ad-
dition to the pupils, so officers and
500 mechanics and other workers.
Each student will require from four
to six weeks training. A large mum.
Der are already receiving instruction.

VISITS BLOND EsKIMOs
White Man Sees Strange Tribe on
Coronation Bluff in Arctic
Zone.

Saskatoon, Sasll.-The tribe Of
blond Eskimos which Harry V. Rad
ford of New York, the murdered ex-
plorers reported he had found on Cor
onation Bluff, far in the arctic zone,
have again been visited by white
man.
In a letter received from Rev. II.
Girling. Of Emmanuel college by Rev
ercnd Doctor Carpenter, principal Of
the college, the missionary announced
he reached the tribe October 10, 1915,
and remained with them some time.
He asserts he is the first white man
to dwell among the new-found people,
who since their discovery have con-
stituted an chronological mystery and
formed the goal of unsuccessful. ex-
petitions.
The letter was dated last December
from "C;imp' Necessity" ten miles from
the h!9i.,' tribe, the first Of whom the
missionary said he found about ten
miles east of Cockburn Point. Girling
said the language of the fair-sknned
race has only a dialectic difference
from that of the Mackenzie river
Eskimos.

PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
First Essential Is Hen Bred for That
Particular Purpose-Proper Feed
ing Is Important.

If you want winter eggs the first es-
sential is hen that is bred for Win
ter laying. This character of winter
laying is inherited from the male bird.
The next essential is proper feeding
methods.
Many fowls take the feed given them
and convert it into fat, While those
with the born tendency to lay con-
vert the surplus above that needed for
body maintenance into eggs. Every
hen is born with certain number Of
small ovules, which the hen will devel-
op if she is fed such feed as she needs
to nourish them.

with depth of Is to IS inches. Egg
or orange crates may be used for nests,
but they are difficult to keep clean and
less desirable than nests made with
cne-inch boards. A good method of
construction is to use lumber II inches
wide for the floor of the rests, arrang-
ing each floor so that it will slide on
cleats and can be easily removed and
cleaned. The nests are usuully built in
tiers against the rear wall of the pen,
extending from the floor to z or feet
high, but they may also be placed cn
the side walls. All partitions should
be solid to the top Of the nests, but it
is advisable to use wire netting above
the nests for ventilation.

CHICKENS WITH WEAK LEGS
Trouble Caused by Feeding Young
Fowls Too Much Protein or by Too
Much Heat in Brooder.

Leg weakness in chickens is caused
by feeding the young chicks too much
protein, or too much heat in the BROOD
er. In case the brooder is 0verheated
reduce the temperature but not to a
degree that will make the chicks un-
comfortable. In case the difficulty is
caused through excess of protein, In
crease the ash by feeding oyster shells.
Leg weakness generally is overcome
when conditions are changed by prop
er feeding methods.

WANT HYDRAULIC ENGINEER
 TO EXAMINE WATER WORKS s
Board Of Commissioners Recommend Improved Facilities and Equipment

At the request of the board of wa ter commissioners, the common coun- cil has authorized the board to obtain the services Of hydraulic engineer to make an examination of the water works plant and to report on condi- tions, suggestions. and estimates so that the council may take any action deemed necessary.
 In a statement to the council the commissioners say that they believe such an inspection and investigation 5necessary. They state that the stor- age capacity at present is 237 ,000 gall Ions and the daily consumption ave- rages 650,O00 gallons. with a maximum of over a million gallons.
 That the waterworks when pur- chased by the city and as it is at present has maximum pumping ca pacity of about a million gallons daily under favorable conditions, that is, with steam pump working 24 hours a day. The power pump is practically useless from June 15 to about Dee. 1. In wet seasons conditions are some what better.
 The filters when built by the Put nam Water company were supposed to be capable of Altering Q maximum Of ,060 gallons daily. when in first class condition.
 The needs, as pointed out by the commissioners, are: additional pump ing facilities, larger storage capacity, additional Alteration units to properly filter the daily supply, larger mains to convey the water from pumps of greater size and capacity to a larger storage basin.
 The commissioners state that they feel that these things sheuld be done to safeguard the health and property of the citizens.
