TELEPHONE IN WAR TIME.
Central Switch Board Maintained at all
French Army Headquarters.

Chicago journal. The frencn army
has perhaps made greater use OF an
electrical means Of communication IN.
telligence than any other military or
gani2ation OF the present time. Central
telephone switchboards are maintained
at army headquarters, and many thous-
and radio stations can be found just
back Of the battle lines. The telephone.
telegraph and radio stations are often
located IN the basement OF a once beau
tiful chateau or church.
TO the central telephone switchboard
cable lines are brought in from every
important army division. says the Flee
trical EXperimenter. By means Of a
flexible cord and attachment plug CON
nected 20 "a wall telephone instrument
an officer Of the commanding stan may
instantly ring up any division com
mander and transmit orders or receive "a
special report as 90 the progress Of a
battle az any certain part Of the front.
A head telephone set Is used to listen
IN secretly into any line running from
the trenches to headquarters. Thus the
officer in charge may know II unauthor-

But 20 the radio officer comes a fun
share OF mystery. romance and action.

tight against his ears, while from out
Of the boundless ether there comes the
news of victory or defeat-the call for
messages OF every de.
scription and from many points along
the battle front. Needless to say the
military radio operator holds most
important position - an Importance
which the pelce-time operator never
even dreams about. In his hands there
may he the difference between life and
Death for hundreds, even thousands OF
men. He must not make a mistake and

KEEP INcUBAToRs GOING
DURING JULY AND AUGUST

A worldwide cry to the people of
this country for food seems inevitable.
While our great agricultural resources
are being modified to assume the
burden, the production of more poul-
try and eggs should not be overlooked.
At this writing it is too late to
hatch chickens to increase next win
ter's egg production. but we can ma
terially increase the meat supply by
keeping the incubators going throug
June and July. Poultry is the cheap
est and most quickly produced of all
meats
On the farm it is largely a by
product, consuming seeds, weeds,
grass, waste grain, and bugs and in
sects injurious to farm crops.
In the cities small flock can be
fed form the table and kitchen re-
fuse. In a recent report. The United
States Department Of Agriculture es-
Inmates that the annual American
contribution to the garbage can
amounts to over seven hundred mil
lions of dollars. Why not convert this
into feed to produce poultry and eggs
Colorado's climatic conditions, free
dom from disease and great supply of
adaptable poultry feeds makes 1T pre-
eminently poultry state. Instead Of
importing two and half millions Of
dollars worth of poultry products an.
nuaIly as is the case, it should be ex-
porting that amount and more to
other states less favored by ideal con-
ditions
Owing to the soaring costs of feeds,
poultry men have been continually
reducing the numers in their fIocks,
No greater mistake could be made
The margin of profits is far in ex-
cess of that for normal years.
II you are past the age of enlist
ment, or for some other reason can
not serve your country at the front.

hands of the class whom the people

They can use argument or they can
use force, as the occasion seems to de-
