SAYS SCHOOLS MUST NOT CLOSE
CrOssley VIII See That They Get
Supply of Coal

Wallace Crossley, state fuel direc-
tor, has announced that no school in
the state should close for the lack of
fuel unless those in charge are guilty
of gross neglect.
This department will see" he said.
that such requirements are prompt
ly cared for. If any Missouri school
closes the local authorities must bear
the blame.
An order will be issued from this
department which may give the pub
lie and some dealers a severe jolt.
1t will relate to limited deliveries of
coal and will provide that where a
thirty days supply exists no further
deliveries will be made until other
orders are filed. Winter is upon us
and those who are without coal, or
who have only ten days supply, will
be looked after first"

CHINA SWEPT BIZ FLOODS
Anerlcan Red Cross Has Appropriated

ADCflC80 nCV OkVoS Aoc AkHA w.
$4,000 to Aid Stricken refugees.
(Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
TIENTSIN, Nov. 1.-two hundred
million dollars is the estimated amount
Of the actual property loss from the
great floods which have swept over
North China within the last two
months and finally engulfed this city
in an inland sea which threatens to
remain at a standstill and work furth-
er damage by freezing.
Chinese government railways have
already expended several millions OF
dollars in repairing damages. The
Peking- -Hankow Railway is now able
to handle through business between
the two cities by the use of ferry
across the Puto River. The railway
connecting Tientsin and Shanghai suf-
fered less than the Hankow railway,
but the first thirty miles Of the line
south of Tientsin is entirely under
water and there is no likelihood that
through traffic can be resumed for
months.
Tientsin, with its one million inhabi-
tants, a great majority of whom are
coolies dependent upon export trade
for employment, faces a terrible crisis.
In addition to the resident population
this city has also become the refugee
center for a great population which
fled here from the inundated rural Sec
tions of North China. More than 50,-
900 refugees from outside points have
already applied for assistance.
The American Red Cross has appro-
priated $4,000 for immediate RELIEF
work and the American troops in
Tientsin, under command Of Colonel
are in charge of a model
camp which will accommodate 5000
refugees.

A reasonable increase of food from
this source for 1918 would be 423,S10,-
900 pounds, which is an increase OF
10 per cent. This food would take
the place of 423,S10 1,000-pound steers.
Each poultry raiser is urged to use
more care with his poultry, and by
means of a slight increase in the num-

Congress, realizing the importance
of poultry as a source of meat supply
has appropriated s14s.ooo. to be used
in sending emergency poultry work
ers into the different states. As Mis-.
souri, ranks high as poultry state
IL Is one of the four states that gel
two of these workers. Ralph l.. Ma
son. one of these poultry experts, has
already arrived and will work with
the poultry department here. The
other worker has not yet been ap-
pointed but he will be stationed al
Springfield. He will also work in con-
.nection with the poultry department
here.
This campaign. to double the poul-
try production in Missouri next year,
is now being launched. Poultry raj
lies will be held in every county
Posters, advertising the dates OF the
rallies. have been sent to the county
seats for display. The County Coun-
Gil of Defense and the Farm Bureau
are to arrange for the meeting place
and do further advertising.
Rules Suggested.
Because of the high price Of feed.
MANY people have reduced the size
of their flocks. 1t is the aim Of the
present campaign to Jrestore conf
dence in the poultry business and to
increase production. At the rallies
the people will be asked to agree to
carry out certain plans:
First-Set only the best eggs. These
eggs should be from pure bred poul-
try. from hens rather than pullets, OF
good shape and size, and not more
than ten days old.
Second-Finish Matching all chick
ems before June 1 so that the pullets
will be winter layers.
Third-Starve the young chicks for
the first 4S hours so that the yolk
will be we'll digested, thus preventing
many intestinal troubles.
Fourth-Feed milk or meat scrap to
chicks so that they will grow faster
and be more healthy.
Fifth-Dispose of all surplus cock
erels before they weigh over 2H
pounds. The reason for this is that
early gains are the most profitable.
and when the cockerels are disposed
of the pullets get more chance to de-
yelOp.
Sixth-Fight lice and mites all the
time.
Seventh-Sell only infertile eggs
after June 1, because fertile eggs spoil
very easily in hot weather. In Mis-
souri, alone, the spelling of eggs last
year resulted in a loss of $5,00O,OOO
Eighth-Cull hens between August
Is and November 1. for at this time
the good ones can be picked the cas-
lest.
Ninth-Feed milk or meat scrap to
laying hens to increase production.
Special literature will be sent from
time 10 time by the poultry department
