Remarkable are
Deeds of Officer

Paris, Jan. ia striking act Of
courage and self-sacrifice was re-
Gently recorded by the biographer of
Lieutenant Colonel Patrice Mahon.
ALLOWING himself to be killed rest
ing on his cannon in order to give
an example and to prevent a preci-
pitate retreat" reads the order of
the day crediting him for his hero
his example; Captain Doridot, now
prisoner, wounded and his right
hand amputated, and Lieutenants
Roger Michel and Nyeegard, all
three reported disappeared.
The pass of Sainte Marie-aux-
Mines was the scene of the death of
Mahon. Twice before he had tried
to save the pass, first on asking to
go there personally when he should
have remained at Saales with TIE
general staff. Then, while leading
his troops who, surprised by fright
full attack, had retired in DISORDER,
he succeeded momentarily in bringing
them back in counter attack. An.
other time French infantrymen COM
posed principally of reservists were
confronted by hot enemy attack; they
were obliged to fall back in disorder,
the ground being impossible to hold
Mahon, however, did not lose his cool
ness. Dismounting from his horse
proudly, crossing his arms, he placed
himself before one of his guns fac
ing the enemy, there waiting unit
he was killed. He lies between
French and German lines and, despite
of continual danger, a number of of.
ficers have vainly tried to recover
his body.

NEW BRITISH TRADE
MINISTER HAS MANY
.AMER|CANQUAL|T|Es
BIZ ASSOCIATED PREss.

London, Jan. 18.-American busi-
ness experience is what Lloyd George
was looking for when he upset all
traditions and appointed Sir Albert
Stanley as minister of commerce and
president of the board of trade, in
the new cabinet.
The title 'Sir Albert" sounds quite
English, but it's owner is about as
American as a man can well be-
brought up as boy at Detroit, Mich,
educated in the public schools there,
getting his first "job" on the Detroit
Street Railways and gradually rising
to the management of that large con-
Germ; then becoming manager of the
New Jersey Public Service Corpora
ton; and, incidentally, enlisting as q
sailor in the United States naval re-
serve, where he served through the
Spanish war on board the United
States auxiliary cruiser Yosemite.
This crowded twenty-five years o.
very active American experience int
the life of Albert Stanley-the plain
name by which he was known at tn,
old Duffield school in Detroit-anc
flushed with successes, he came t.
England to put his American training
to practical use in the business worlC
here, becoming manager of that vas
system of surface underground traffi
in London-the greatest in the worl,
known as the London Consolidate
Association, Limited. His title cam
to him later, and now the create
honor has come-the first man o
American business training ever t
enter the British cabinet.

FARMING SEASON
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Graceville, Fla, Jan. 18--This year
Jackson county started off with. a
great deal of optimism which is made
so on account of the rich harvests
last year in the cereal crops which
were well disposed of. Crope being
well diversified with ready sale has
inspired the farmers for efforts on
larger scale. The West Florida
Melon and Truckers Association is
well organized and the members are
very enthusiastic over the good out

Jackson county is reaping the ben
, efits of its boosting enterprises" and

Jacksonville fair at which time Jack
son county took first prize for best
county agricultural display.
Within short time we are going
to have a large gathering of farm
ers here, the occasion being the ar
rival of the L. & N. agricultural staff

in forage. Several car loads of hog:
and cattle are being shipped thi;
week and is the forerunner of an act.
i've business in this line for the mex
few years.
Lands are being opened up. pros
pectors are already arriving on the
ground, seeking information concern
ing our watermelon and peanut in

improvements of various kinds. TIL

year, will surpass all other years il
a large and increasing trade.
A large tract of land near Grace

FOOD AND DRINK ESSENTIALS
Divided Into Five Important Glasses
Grain Feed and Water Are
Most Important.

The essential food and drink for
poultry may be divided into five
classes, as follows: First, grain food;
second, vegetable food; third, meat
food; fourth, minerals in the form OF
grit and shell; fifth, plenty Of clean
water to drink.
1t may be useful to keep this diVl-
sion in mind. 1t may be well also to
ask oneself whether he is giving his
flock all Of the five classes Of food and
drink. All Of the five are of first I'M
portance. A flock can get along after
q fashion without one or two OF the
five named, but not to very good adj
vantage. The best, most economical
results will be secured by the use OF
all of the five classes. The first and
fifth are the most important, doubt
less.

SIZES OF MARKET BR0ILERs
Market Demand Is for Young Chickens
Weighing When Dressed From
One to Two Pounds.

Broilers are young chickens weigh
ing when dressed from three-fourths
Of q pound to two pounds. They are
usually sold when six to twelve weeks
of age. The market demand is for
broilers of three sizes: SQUAD broil-
ers weighing when dressed from three
fourths to one pound each; small broil-
ers weighing from one to one and one
fourth pounds each, and large broilers
weighing from one and one-half to two
pounds each.
AT the age Of six months the in
creased weight is slight and the quail
ity DOOR. AS the age of the cockerel
increases above twelve weeks the quail
ity decreases materially.

CHICKENS DELIGHT IN SAND
Where Clean Boards or Trough Are
Not Available Arrange Conven-
lent Box or Bed.

Chickens delight in having the run
Of sand heap. If it seems imprac-
ticable to always feed on clean boards,
or in feeding troughs, sand box or
bed, made Of 12-inch boards and filed
with sand, makes clean place to feed.
The droppings are quickly absorbed,
and may be scraped off. The sand
itself is an aid to digestion. Com
mercial grit will not altogether take
the place Of gravel with chickens.

MARKETING CULLS IN FLOCK
Give Surplus Fowls Week or Ten Days
of Extra Care and Feed-Materi.
ally Helps Price.

Gull your flock as soon as possible
and get the surplus off to market, but
don't forget to give them a week or
ten days Of extra care and feed.
This always pays big in the extra
price you will receive. If you ship the
fowls to q city commission merchant,
sort out the ones Of the same size and
general appearance to put in each
cool.
There is much in the good appear
ance Of market fowls.

SEND COCKERELS TO MARKET
Plan to Get Rid of Males When They
Bring Best Prices-Hold Wyan-

: The cockerels go to market when
they bring the best price. Just when
to sell the young males depends on
what your market demands. The Leg
horn cockerels usually return the most
profit when sold as broilers. The Rock,
Red or Wyandotte may be held longer
