BRITISH WILL TAKE BAGDAD

LONDON, March S.-The ancient
city of Bagdad, held by the Turks
since 1888, seems certain to fall into
the hands of the British within a few
hours. 1t was officially announced to-
day that the British cavalry is within
II miles of the stronghold. The city
is the center of many Arabic tradi-
lions, and it's capture will be a trem
endous blow to the prestige of the sui
tan.

Effect of Auto on Agriculture.

Every time an automobile displaces
q horse five acres of land are added to
the agricultural area of the country.
Among the economic influences of the
motor car, this is one phase that is
commonly overlooked. There are
about 26,OOOOO0 horses fn>t the United
States and each horse consumes six to
seven tons of food year. 1t is easily
figured that an average of five acres
is required to furnish food for each
horse. This means total Of 100000
600 acres of land devoted to pastures
and raising hay-over 100000 square
miles. This means land nearly five times
as big as Ohio, or an area larger than
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, de-
voted to feeding horses instead of peO-
plei Of course, the releasing of all
this area from pasture uses and max
ing it available for the support of. pops
uIation will be a tremendous economic
gain.

IRISH APPEAL TO AMERICA

LONDON, March S.-Members of the
Irish party today issued a manifesto
asking the United States to aid the
home rule movement, and asking the
United States to urge the British gov
eminent to make Great Britain give
Ireland her self-government. The re-
quest was made on the grounds that
such course on the part of the Uni
ted States would be in conformity with
the principles enunciated by Presi-
dent Wilson in his peace address be-
fore the senate in January

CONVENIENCE IN HENHOUSE
Roosts, Dropping Boards and Nests
Should Be Simple and Readily
Removed for Cleaning.

The fixtures of farm poultry house,
the roosts, dropping boards, and nests,
should be simple, convenient, and read

be- provided for, in the building of a
poultry house, as poultry will not do

ters.
