though sunshine is of great value,
for it stimulates the fowls to greater
activity and is natures disease de-

may do great injury.

Onions For Chickens

Onions chopped fine and scattered
in the litter make fine healthful
green food for chickens. They
scramble and fight for the juicy bits
and it seems to waken them up and
keep them scratching when it is too
stormy for outdoor exercise.
With chicken feed high there is an
increased risk to feeding inferior
grains.

1t is rather hard to select young
cockerels, as they may often deceive
one when they are quite young. Like
a calf, colt or a pig, there is much
speculation in selecting for breeding
purposes. Nevertheless, there are
certain characteristics that may be
noted. From these a careful breeder
will determine the male birds for his

Manufacturers of waists for wom-

generalization Of what is, or is not,
the predominating style of the sea-
son, is possible. The Pacific Coast is
said to favor white and flesh colored
the straight line "suit blouse" in the
darker color combinations is prefer
red. As for the Eastern district, it
seems on the whole to be taking a
little of everything. This condition is
attributed to lack of any very definite
new style creation. "There are, of
course, new features" said one manu-
facturer, "but due, for one thing to
the Paris suggestions having been I'M
usually limited, these new features
are confined more or less to details"

The Governors Certificate

We feared for time (though it appears groundessly) that Governor Hunt would bring him. self under the displeasure of Paragraphs 7S and 79 Penal Code by attempting hold office after the expiration of the for which he elected; that intended try retain his office without any other authority than that of his will not to let go. But the governor is going to do nothing of the He intends keep his grip the office to the ultimate if he He has certificate of probable election issued by Homer Ward and w. H. Plunkett.
 The captious may carp such certificate and ask wherein of a credentia than a tfcae issued by Bill Jones and Henry Smith in favor of Tom Robinson to hold the office of governor.
 We will admit that the certificate of Messrs Wood and Punkett is quite authoritative might wish. It is that the certfcators dis tngushed citizens though private and yet, after all. their privacy is different by degree from that of other private citizens, like Bill Jones and Henry Smith. MT Plunkett has always been a private citizen and MT. Ward hopes always to be. The former has held a office under Governor Hunt and the latter has been promised a office. So it will be that these gentlemen a certain extent though will insist, to a great extent official The certificate issued by them, therefore though not authoritative might wish. is not without color of authority, least a faint color a trace.
 We regret say, though that between this color of authority and the violation of the Penal Code is mighty narrow squeak" for Governor Hunt. For the certificate of Messrs Wood and Punkett is a certifi- cate of conjecture and not of a fact. They have participated in the inspection of about half the bal lots cast for MT. Campbell and Governor Hunt last fall and they certify that they have found governor has made certain gains in the of the inspection that place him in the lead of MT. Camp bell. What the other half of the ballots may show of course the certificators do That be carrying conjecture to unreasonable length.
 Others who participating in the inspection of the ballots do not know how Messrs. Wood and Plunkett have arrived the of their cer- tificate They further that if the certificate is correct it is indicative of nothing and no sense official in spite seml-offcia characters of the certificators

FOSTERING GiRLlsH GIRLS

A mother safeguards her daughter by providing her place where she may entertain her associates. Girl friends may be taken to her room, but day mother will find that she does not know her daughters boy friends unless they. to, allowed the freedom of the house.
 An aunt visiting the home of an attractive niece found that the girl continually evenings with her chums yet never entertained them. She marked: Mabel. am disappointed not to meet any of the boys you know The girls are very nice. but like boys too"
 Mabel explained: You see, aunte. these girls live differently from me. We must do own work. but when go to their evening parties we play cards or other games and have dancing, and then the maid serves the supper in the dining passes re- treatments in the reception room l can't do such things"
 Her aunt grew thoughtful q do not feel that be- those girls do not pass their refreshments you could not" she ventured
 q can't why you always dance and play cards like older men and women. Why not do some thing unusual-have a taffy pull make fudge in the kitchen, for example?"
 Mabel persuaded to invite her friends to the house the next evening, and quite early aunte ap- peared to announce "The kitchen is open to all who wish to make fudge" "Oh, does your mother let use the kitchen? Lovey!" exclaimed the girl whose criticism had been most dreaded. Tt would make cook mad if did, and mother never lets me-"
 The evening pronounced success with the result that when the boys and girls wished an es- peciay fine and informal time, they asked permission to take their ingredients and try cooking school recipes in Mabes kitchen The boys helped in clear ing away the experiments and the dishes, so no missed the waitress.
 The wife of a United States senator, who has two daughters in the Washington High school keeps "open kitchen" she calls it. for their friends. It is understood thing that the room and cooking utensils be left found, consequently cook has no quarrel and home is a great favorite with "the set" Many modest, unconventional ways of the old time would find favor if they put into practice in modern homes. It is worth while to take the trouble for it leads to complcity of entertainments among young people.

But his escape has occasioned no surprise. It predicted when he was removed from the pententiary to the asylum
 Fatn, four years after the commission of his crime, was brought to the foot of the gallows He was reprieved from time time by Governor Hunt in pursuance of his declaration that no man should be hanged in Arizona while he was governor. When at last the people in their indignation at the governors abuse of his power, took it from him. appeared that Faltin and nearly of other murderers who had been codded at the penitentiary would last be executed. Even then the administration sought in every possible way to dsobey the orders the court ana defeat the will of the people Every pretext one had been exhausted. Then shameless insanity proceedings were begun to save the neck of Faltin. Ihe soicitude of the administration centered in thls murderer That he would be declared insane was surmised as a jury had been selected And he was promptly pronounced insane whereat the administration felt that it had triumphed That Fatin was insane either at the time he committed the murder or at any other time nobody honestly be-

 faAtin Is yet in the prime of life. He will doubtless nave opportunity to commit other murders as he is supposed to have committed at least two before the commission of the one of which he was convicted one in Alaska and one in the northern part of this state

The Answer Has Come

The London Spectators enumeration on Friday of the terms which the entente allies willing to talk peace probably not inspired by the Brit ish government reply the overtures of Ger many transmitted in a roundabout way by the United States. They probably only the of the Spectator derived from of which British statesmen delivered themselves in parliament and elsewhere for home and neutral consumption about a years ago. though we have heard much of them recently until now.
 They include the surrender by the Central Powers of practically everything they have acquired in another. by peaceful negotiation. within the last hundred years the elimination of Tur- key from Europe, the overthrow German inn peral rule in favor of a democracy, the division and distribution of the German navy among the con- querors, the thorough scotching of miltarism With Germany trimmed, the world would be reas- onaby secure thinks the Spectator against another German outbreak.
 there is one clause of the Spectators terms a recognition of the independent kingdom of Poland which be added those parts of ancient Poland held for more than a century by Austria Prussia That clause could not be quite satisfactory Russia though another clause gives that ally Constanti- nople and the control of the Dardaneles.
 Though the Spectators terms given prominence in the afternoon dispatches of Friday they evidently regarded of idle character that the night report carried comment on them or the faintest allusion to them
 Why the Spectator promulgated them we cannot conceive, unless it jocularly intended them be answer to our late peace note. of the many plantations concerning which. that it only asked for "a full practical and detailed statement from each of the governments addressed" No complaint of a lack of detail and fulness be lodged against the Spectators exposition of the allies of peace. We have now had specific answer which to be forthcoming from any other Our curi- osity has been satisfied, that can dismiss the subject from minds and proceed with prepar- atons for the inaugural ceremonies March next.
