Membership Drive.

Although the Red Cross Christ
mas drive does not Degin officially
until Dec. II it is already under
way in those districts where mem
berships must be solicited among
farmers and residents of smaller
towns and villages in the Northern
Division. In such districts John
Leslie, chairman of the division
membership committee, urges all
possible haste in the campaign.
If the drive, is! delayed in such
places it means that cold weather
and snow will make roads impossible
by Dec. II and it will be impossible
to cover the territory. The hardest
work of the drive, Mr.. Leslie: de-
,clares, must be done before the first
heavy fall of snow. ,s:.

 What's that? We may go to Long Neck Beech? Well, we'll do nothing of the kin Mr. Caudle. Of all the gor- geous, grand. splendid seashore resorts in the world to select that holel You might just as well empty a salt cellar in the Warrior river and call that a seashore resort as to call that smelly, dirty. meas ly little hole of Long Neck Beech one. It's handy for your business?

An, I thought I'd get rise out of you when I said that; I guess sleeping won't be so easy for you now? What do you say? You wish I had married him? Well, so do I. At least, he was a gentleman. You never can tell? Well, maybe you can't; but I can. But there, MT. Caudle, not another word about the seashore; we'll just stay on and next week the paperhangers and the painters are coming. and I suppose we'll all have painters collie and the Lord knows what else; but then, as you say, doctors bills that? You never said such thing in your life? Why, MT. Caudle; you've said it F times tonight if you've said it once. What do you say? Why can't I tell what it will cost? Well, of course, MT. Caudle, it is not inexpensive with eight children, two nurses and myself and getting us all ready, and-and-what's that? Your head is splitting? Well, stop talking, then, MT.

But that's perfectly all right, MT. Caudle; sleep on; dream dreams of you and old Tattle- tale and old Tattle-tale's niece at weekend summer excursions to the beach. Oh, how can you, MT. Caudle, after the wife I've been to you? But no, MT. Caudle, be what you will, say what you may, you'll never bring tears to my eyes again; that's over long ago; I no longer care; I've grown used to your insults and neglect and i'll treat ment I won't throw my tears away on such a creature as you are.

Caudle, it is of no consequence to you whether or not I'm comfortable; or to go, but as a matter of fact Atlantic City is the only sea shore resort I've ever been able to sleep in; of course though you'd never care whether l closed my eyes again as long as l live. Whats that? Oh yes, you would because then you could sleep occasionally your self; you, MT Caudle! How can you be so inhuman? You never watch my ap- petite or whether I suffer from in- somnia or anything like other men watch their wives, otherwise you'd have seen what it's come to- But then I don't count; I'm a mere worm under your feet; an ant; an insect; nothing worth speaking of"

Caudle, but it's a very poor one, besides, you should keep your jokes for the daytime. Oh, MT.

 the tide is down I feel so happy ana so serene I could almost weep. Whats that? You'll be bankrupt if I insist upon Atlantic City?

poultry business, as in any industry, is to invite Encouragement, probably failure. Certain losses are almost cer CT considers these losses from the be- ginning, with the result that he es- inmates the need of matching five eggs for each bullet contemplated.
 To claim that five eggs equal one bullet may sound discouragingly low to the beginner. and there are many exceptions to the rule; nevertheless, on large commercial farms this aver age prevails, furthermore, it is consid- cred highly successful.
 What Are the Casualties?
 We start with five eggs, from which we obtain one bullet: What happened to the other four eggs? Let us see; we must start with the incubator. Two eggs failed in the process of matching from cue cause or another-infertility, death in the shell, and so on, which represents a 60 per cent hatch, and this is considered very fair averag ge for the seasons work. Of the three chicks matched, one died in the brood er amounting to the customary 33 per cent mortality on farms where chicks are raised in large numbers. Of the two chicks reared to maturity, one developed into cockerel, which is the customary 50 per cent run of males, leaving a single bullet for the laying house. "
 It is well to hitch our wagon to d star, in this business and to hope that we may hatch 95 per cent of the eggs set, rear 90 per cert of the chicks matched and pray that so per cent of those chicks will mature into bullets; but it is a poor plan to depend upon such glowing averages. On the other hand. to assume that a mortality of 35 per cent is about normal. makes it ap- pear as though young chickens were

The nights are cool? 1 dare say they are by the time you get home in the morning, sir: but if you had to keep house and look after the children and see about three square meals a day and do million other things from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed in the evening. you'd say it was hot, too. Of course, sitting around in clubs under electric fans and sipping cold draughts of something in tall glasses with crushed ice, isn't exactly conducive to making you think the weather is warm.

CLAIM GREAT DEAL
 OF THE CHICK MORTALITY
Large Commercial Farms Show That Five Eggs Are Matched for Each Pullet-Water Is Almost Always Fatal, Overcrowd- ing Is Bad and Animals Take Their Toll
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG pOultrymaa and writer

It has been said that chick in the brooder is worth two chicks in the shell, which is true. It is equally true that a bullet on the range is worth two chicks in the brooder. If you wish to make a conservative estimate Of next winters layers, you must con slider the element of mortality between the incubator and the laying house Casualties are bound to occur. It is the right spirit to try and raise 100 per cent of the chicks matched, but do not feel disheartened if finally you count but one bullet for every three chicks matched. That Is about the GUS tomary ratio.

These ancients car ried themselves in such a way that the muscles organs, circulation and even the brain and nervous system were placed in harmonious relationship. How can we attain the same poise in walk ing? Briefly, by setting the shoulders back and squaring them evenly. by carrting the chest high and well arched forward, by keeping the stomach in and the neck perpendicular, like column, and by forcing the chin in.

The deservedly popular Rhode Island Red has been with us for half century In Rhode Island, where tle breed originated, it was kept mainly for utilitarian purposes. Some of the stock was transplanted to Ohio in the early days of the Red boom, where crosses were made with Brown Leg horns and Dark Cornish, that llti- mately produced the Buckeye Reds. One of the most distinguishing fea- lures of this new breed was the pea comb.
 Buckeyes are exceptionally good lay CTS the chicks are husky, vigorous growers and reach maturity al an

 Make Yards and Fences FoOlprO0f
 Among other tips for guarding against losses due to accidents, re- member that a chick has little or no reasoning power On the contrary, he is a creature of habits and instincts. The arrangement of yards. fences, gates, runways, modes of entrance and egress must be simple and as near "foolproof" as it is possible to make them. A chick in search of great CT freedom will find a hole in the fence quicker than the attendant, or he will dig his way under a fence; but the chances are he will not return through that hole, even though he passes it a hundred times.
