Laying Hens Will Be Profitable This
Winter

A common opinion has gone forth
among poultrymen that, owing to the
increased price of grains and various
poultry feeds, they should cut down
the number of birds to a minimum or
perhaps dispose of their entire focks.
At the present writing fresh eggs
are bringing 40 cents dozen in Fort
Collins-a high water mark in years
past for mid-winter egg prices. On
October first report from nearly 200
cold storage firms showed decrease
of more than 20 per cent in the num-
Der Of cases of eggs which they held
in storage, as compared with the same
time a year ago. Although quite
early in the season, the cold storage
supply is being drawn upon heavily
to meet the demanad. Predictions
now indicate that a Top notch in egg
rice will be experienced this winter.
Facing these conditions, wheat and
other feeds cannot be considered at a
prohibitive price, and the producer
should now take steps that will tend
to minimize winter egg production.
Poultrymen will undoubtedly pro-
fit by holding over all but the poorest
of last years parent stock, and to
force them with the early Matched
pullets into winter laying. The old
saying "The laying hen is the paying
hen" will have more truth this winter
than ever.-C. S. Anderson, Colorado

SCHOOL NOTES

Election Returns From Lincoln School
Patrons of the Lincoln school will
be interested to know the outcome of
the election held in the seventh and
eighth grades at Lincoln.
The polls were open at three o'clock
sharp and the returns were not all in

eighth grade show a big majority for
svery republican candidate.
In the seventh grade all the pupils
were registered at the last recess.
Russell Myers, Clarence Ward, Grin
Dickinson, and Miss Barnard COM
posed the election board. The returns
from this room show a majority of
three to one for all the democratic
candidates.
In both rooms there was a ma iOTity
Of affirmative votes for the amend
ments and referred measures with the
exception of the beer amendment and
the herd law. These were voted down
by an overwhelming majority.
Combining results from both rooms
the democratic party comes out win
ner by nice majority.
These school elections are held with
the intention of familiarizing the pu-

Car Shortage

Denver, Colo, New. 4.-Co-operat-

the State Commission, the State Pub
lie Utilities Commission is making a
thorough study of the carS shortage
situation in Colorado ard is bending
every effort to relieve conditions at
all points.
1t has been definitely established
that the situation results from con-
gestion of traffic at points outside Of
the state of Colorado, and, in fact,
that the condition is general through
out the United States and Canada.
Investigation showed that many
shippers and eonsigaees have been
derelict in loading or unloading cars
spotted for those purposes, cars hav-
ing been held as much as two months
in certain specific cases. The Com
mission Therefore has authorized the
common carriers in Colorado to raise
their demurrage charges from 81 a
day after the free time of 4S hours to
So per day. Since this order became
effective on November /, scores of
ears have been released.
The shortage was made more acute
by the exceptionally high prices being
paid for potatoes, fruits and other
crops, but within the last few days the
market prices have dropped somewhat
with the result that many growers
have ceased demanding cars and ap-
pear satisfied to hold their products
temporarily until the market again is
strong. This, coupled with the pres

Live Stock Production and the Stock
Show

The public interest in, the Internal
tional Live Stock Exposition was ever
justified, this is the moment. Not
only is commercial live stock produc-
ton profitable to an unprecedented de-
gree, but the task of rehabilitating the
industry must be vigorously prescott
ed if the nation is 20 be assured Of an
adequate supply of meat
Improvement of live stock is the
need of the hour. AS cost Of produc-
ton increases, breeders and feeders
cannot achieve maximum results with
the inferior and mediocre grades of
cattle that constitute too large a per-
centage of the stuff now reaching
market
It is an accepted axiom that the
profit is in the gain. 1t corresponds
with the motto Of transportation spec
ialists that the money is in the straps,
meaning passengers who are not fur
ni5hed seats.
Profit in handling scrub line stock
is questionable and possible only dur
ing periods of abnormally high prices.
II cattle raising is to be placed on
permanently staple basis, the present
system must be abandoned.
The management of the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition is exploit
in idea that is slowly gaining ground.
Education is a proverbially slow pro
cess and progress is attained only by
persistent endeavor. To insure maxi
mum profits at minimum cost in the
sphere Of meat production is the mis-
sion Of the International Live Stock
Exposition That mission is primarily
designed to benefit the producer, in
cidentally it will work to the advan-
tage of the carrier, the manufacturer
and the consumer, consequently its
success is desirable from many an
giles.
From a utilitarian standpoint the
international Live Stock Exposition,
which will this year be held from
December to 9, stands in the front
rank Of the worlds educational in
situations and no farmer or stockman
can afford to stay away.

WHO is CIGARET?

Cigaret, splendid vagabond of John
Roland's THE Six-Pointed Cross in the
Dust" is one of the most onconven-
tional heroes introduced to us in many

of fellows down on their luck by their
own fault seems to have been inspired
by a living man. DR.. Roland's fore
word explains the wayfarers who
tramp the highways and frequent the
hedges of the Central Europe he
knows well-mostly journeymen see
ing the world, failures. and driftwood,
little men who have found life too
big for them.
But there are others still; big men,
who have found ordinary life too
small. too narrow. And of these was,
or still is, the man about whom this
story has been written. We called
him 'Cigaret.' Just why, I never
knew. And IL was said that he was
an Archduke of the Austrian House
of Hapsburg. Why We said this
know quite well. And this story will
bear me out. But whether Archduke
of a great imperial house, or merely
the Cigaret whom we all knew and
loved. he was, as my story shows
him, always loyal gentleman and a
devoted friend"
