The Missouri Hen and the Cali for
Increased Poultry Production.

! The Missouri Hen--for years she
has provided the means Of 4 liyli-
hood for hundreds, educated host Of
the sons and daughters of our State,
provided the means for better homes,
and even Injuries, and now she is
called on by the Nation to furnish an
increased amount Of food. N
In order that she shall do her bit,
all that is required Of us is to fur
nish her proper feed and environ
ment and she will do the rest. Let
us not fail to furnish her require
,nents and there will be no shortage
of poultry meat and eggs, and there
will be good market for all that is
produced at prices which will show
a satisfactory profit to the producer
notwithstanding the high price Of
feed. 4,
Missouri can easily increase the
production of poultry products III the,
State several millions this year and
render a splendid service to the Ma
tion and we believe that it will be
done. This should be a patriotic
movement, and every poultry raiser
in Missouri should have a part in it.
We cannot all enlist in the army or
navy. but we can all enlist and do val
liant service in the work of increasing
the food production of our country.
Those who are not experienced
poultry raisers may easily obtain ali
the information necessary to enable
them to make 4 success with poultry
by subscribing for a few poultry
journals and making use of our Poul-|
try Experiment, Station.
Owing to the season being late and
poor matches early in the season,
June and July should see more chicks
Matched than ever before, and they
will make quicker growth than the
earlier matches on account of the un-
seasonabie weather in April and May
and an increased production for this
year will mean continuing Matching
until September.
1t has been demonstrated that
hen can be made to lay the year
around, and we should get away from
that idea that great many have that
here is only a certain time Of the
year in which to hatch chicks-and

MANY ALIENS
IN THE COUNTY
Ysleta Registration Shows
SO Out of 233; Citizens
Make Claims.

The total registration at Ysleta
Tuesday was 2S5 and Of this number
6S were aliens and one an alien
enemy. OF the 169 citizens registering
50 indicated that they would ask for
exemption. One of these had no one
dependent on him, but said he would
ask for exemption simply because he
did not care to go to war Eighty
declared they would not ask for ex-
emption, although several of them
had young wives and babies.
Two Mexican aliens declared their
willingness to serve in the United
States army. The other 81 said they
did not expect TO serve. A number of
aliens were found among employees
of the United States reclamation ser
vice and the FL Paso Dairy company.
Younger Men In Lead.
Those in the % years class led in
numbers, there being 81 p years of
age to register. Thirty years was

Didn't Remember Birthdays.
! Because the custom OF observing
birthdays is not followed in Mexico,
many Mexicans were unable to give
the date of their birth. All of them,
however, knew their saints day,
which is the nearest approach to a
| birthday observance in Mexico. As
result Of this, the ages of a number
of Mexican registrants had to be
guessed at by the registrars
An Italian and a Greek who regis
tered in precinct No. 2 told the regis
trars they could not give their ages
because they did not remember their
birthday, not believeing in birthdays.
Chinese Ready To Fight.
More than 100 Chinese, all citizens,
registered in the city Most of them
were in precinct 2. Several of them
asked eagerly II they were going to
be sent to the war and one of them
said earnestly; Ne fightee like
debil."
More than one registrant was under
the impression that automobiles
would be furnished by the city to
take them to their registering place,
following the custom of carrying
voters to the polls in autos on cleo
ton days. One man under this de-
fusion got into precinct 9, which was
the wrong place for him to register.
When told he would have to so to
another precinct, he asked if there
was any conveyance to take him
phatically that he would have to
walk
Many Register At Noon.
In the precincts above the tracks
much of the heavy registering vas
done at the noon hour.
Many Mexicans over and under the
age limit for registration misunder-
stood the age clause and waited in
line for hours to make sure they were
listed Some of them stood up five
or six hours, only TO discover they
we're too old or too young to register.
1t was difficult to convince some Of
these that they were not supposed to
register.
Exemption CIaims Amusing.
There were many amusing incl
dents at the various registration pre-
cincts Tuesday, according to the reg
istrars caused by the claims of ex-
emptions many of the men OF mill
