would run empty before half of

to this part of the game for there
was enough and more. There is
surely a fine, social lot of people
in the Dale neighborhood and
since the Grange Hall was built
they have had many gatherings
ofthis kind of which we have
heard much but had no personal
knowledge. We find it like others
have said-"Go once and you

Considerable loss of life is re-

of California. A number of VIC
tins have been known to have
floated out to sea.
L. d. Brandies, a Jewish at
torney of Boston, who has been
prominent for some years as an
antitrust attorney, has been
picked by Pres. Wilson to fill the
position on the Federal supreme
bench left vacant by the death of
Justice Lamar.
The Allies have seized another
fort in Greece and now it is said
King Constantine fears a revolu-
ton in his own country headed
by his former war minister. The
Turks are said to be sending an
army to cooperate with the
Teutonic allies in an attack on
Salonika.
Two American lieutenants are
to be courtmartialed for leading
dozen soldiers across the
Mexican border in an attempt to
recapture two of their comrades
who had been kidnapped by
MeXicans. The soldiers were re-
turned unharmed, but that doesn't
seem to help the officers any.
They violated orders.
Woodrow Wilson is speaking
at several of the largest cities of
the eastern and central states on
the matter of ample preparation
for trouble with any foreign foes.
The European developments of
the past couple of years have
: convinced even our president
that a righteous soul and a
prayer will not protect us from
foreign encroachments unless we
can maintain our position by
force of arms.
The nation is watching devel-
opments in the presidential situ-
alton. There is very good rea-
! son to believe that a competent
and able republican candidate
can be made president at the
next general election. Hughes.
Cummins, Root, Borah, LaFol-
lete, Roosevelt and many lesser
lights are possible candidates.
The mixedup presidential pri-
mary situation in the various
states makes it probable that the
1916 convention will be a general
scramble and most any old thing
may land the job.

Earl Frederick Missing.

fiaZelton Republican: What
has become of, Earl Frederick?
That is the question that is
sorely troubling his family and
relatives at Bismarck, and it is
one of the most mysterious dis
appearances that has come to the
notice of the Bismarck people for
some time.
On the evening of January 18th
the young man put on his over
coat to go down town and pay
the house rent and make a bus
iness call at Opdykes' garage,
telling his wife he would be back
Just as soon as he could COM
Iplete his business, but from the
time he stepped from the door of
the residence nothing has been
seen or heard of him. 1t is as
Though the ground had opened
up and swallowed him in its gulf.
lie did not go to either of the
places mentioned, nor did he put
in an appearance at any of the
places he was in the habit of
| lroppinp in to. None of his
friends or chums saw him, nor in
fact can any clew be discovered
as to his whereabouts.
His father, ]. o. Frederick, who
was in Hazeltori Tuesday, is GER
tain that his son has met with
foul play and that the mystery
will some day be cleared up, He
says that Earl had about thirty
five dollars in money on his per-
|son when he left the house, be-
sides watch and his fur over
coat, and it is the belief that he
was robbed and made away with
by thugs.
/ Every possible avenue that
might afford a clue is being fol-
flowed up to clear up the mystery.
Inquiries were made at the depot,
but no one saw Earl Frederick
around there. Only four tickets
IWere sold for the train that he
would have taken had he gone
away by that route but the sta
|tion agent could not remember
the descriptions of the persons
purchasing tickets. His father
E|in-law, j. 1. Roop, went to the
Twin Cities Sunday evening to
see if he could learn anything, as
that was the destination on the
railroad tickets sold.
| If foul play has been done then
1.-THE perpetrators have covered
their tracks very cleverly, and if
the young man has simply won
dered off then his whereabouts
will be discovered sooner or later
In any event, it is hoped by all
local friends that the mystery
will soon be cleared UP and in
1.-THE meantime they offer sympa-
| Ithy to the distracted family and
Twill watch every clew with the
lkeenest of interest and anxiety in
1.-THE hopes of aiding inTthe search.

FORAGE is QUITE ESSENTIAL
Chickens viii Not Produce Eeonoml-
caIly Without Green Feed-sow
Essex Rape or Oats.

Green pasture is just as essential to
the chickens life process as 1t is to
the dairy or beef animal. OF course,
chickens can live without it, but they
will not produce economically without
some green stun.
Now that all the wild vegetation is
killed or tough, A. p. Spencer, dis
trict agent for the University of Flor
ida extension division, suggests that
dwarf essex rape or oats be sown for
them. These two crops will make ex.
cellent forage for the chicks and will
supply pasture until spring crops can
be planted. Plant about half an acre
for every 100 chickens. The rape
shopld be sown at the rate of eight
pounds to the acre. Chicks can be
turned on 1t as soon as 1t is three
inches high.

VENTILATION FOR HENHoUSE
Fresh Air Is Best Secured by Lower
Ing a Window, or Taking Out
Sash and Inserting Muslin.

Where the poultry house is sup
piled with windows. ventilation is
best secured by slipping down one
OF the windows at the top or taking
out lower sash and inserting a
frame on which muslin Of a good
grade has been we'll tackled.
Where there is an open-front
scratching shed the roost.ng room
back is best If made as small as pos
sible to accom- Iodate the fowls, and
this should be inclosed against too
much cold or air.
Curtains hung constantly about
chickens It night in the winter usu-
ally bring on influenza as a result.
Small iocks kept together produce
better than large ones. Ten or a
dozen fowls will require a house that
at the least will require 80 square
feet OF floor space. which would mean
an 8 by 10 house. twenty-five fowls
can easily live in house 10 by 10
feet.
IL runs are attached to a house 100
square feet of space is usually counted
for each fowl; that means ten feet Of
space each way for one fowl. This
insures healthier, harder birds. and
there will be no crowding.
Poles laid above the roosting place,
and straw piled on these, saves cold
from overhead at night. The straw
covering should not extend far beyond
the roosts, as a free space outside
above insures more perfect ventila'
tion.

Some people actually believe that
sheep can live without water. No such
thing. II is true that sheep in certain
seasons can live for days without be-
ing given water, but 1t is because they
get the dew on the grass. Sheep
should always be turned out to pas
ture early in the morning for this
reason, but besides, they should al
ways have plenty Of clean water. They
will not thrive without 1t.
