STANDARD fOR
 EGCS WILL BE
 SEARCHEDFOR

The best attended and most enthus- iastic meeting of poultry people ever held in Phoenix was that of yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Com merce The Maricopa County Poultry association is the reorganized Arizona State Poultry association, and it is very clear that the members are more en- thusiastic than they ever were before. Every seat in the auditorium was taken early in the afternoon and the rush of applications for new members came near swamping the secretary.
 The talks were listened to with un- usual interest, showing that those who attended were much interested in the subjects. F.. Draper of Glendale told how he is making a living for a family of eight from ten acres of land with d few fruit trees, blackberry bushes and 600 laying hens. He not only makes a living and is educating his children, but is paying for his place as well. One of the strongest points brought out was the value of cooperation. He works with a few neighbors who are keeping poultry and buys feed in quantities at the right time of year, and is thus able to feed his fowls for something less than s1 for the hen. His returns from carefully kept records show over $l profit for each laying hen.
 
 The system of HoganiZing fowls was demonstrated by !. M. Weber. who has made a thorough study of the system and is probably better informed than anyone else in the method which has become so popular. The interest taken in this demonstration shows that many believe in it and are anxious to learn more about 1t.
 Prof H. C. Gambee, in charge of the egg laying contest at the Phoenix union high school, told some of the in teresting things which have come to light in conducting the contest The contest has now advanced far enough to show somewhat the cost of feeding the different pens. There is also a considerable difference in the weight of the eggs from the different pens. and it is interesting to note that While Tn | some instances the cost of producing a dozen eggs is higher with some pens i than others, in some cases the cost peI | pound is found to be less. This was i considered good argument for having 1 eggs graded.
 This matter of establishing stand ard for eggs was discussed to con- siderable extent, and a committee con- sisting of E. Draper and Albert Con 1 nor of Glendale V. D. Johnson and w | w. Carney of Mesa, and Carlos Stan nard of Phoenix, was appointed to make 1 inuuiries and report with recommenda l. i tions at the next meeting, which Will De held April II at the Chamber of Com merce.

 There were many offers of babies, but it was not until the doorbell rang and Mrs. Steinbrugger admitted Mrs. Molina Beck of Manhattan that Mrs. Steinbrugger found one that she was willing to make her own. Mrs. Beck drew back a blanket and showed a chubby growing, healthy mite of humanity which she placed on the floor, where it played happily with Mrs. Steinbruggers collie dog.

Loew's Biiou

The new bill at Loew's, which starts this afternoon, is varied enough to suit every taste and is bound to make big hit with the patrons of this popular house
 The bill includes as headliners "The Five Melody Maids," and Charles Leonard Fletcher. internationally known in his Jazz -ical Jokelets." It is rare occasion that Birmingham audiences have chance to witness q performance by such a renowned artist as Mir Fletcher. who has appeared be- fore most of the crowned heads of Europe and President Wilson.
 The feature picture for this half of the week is a wonderful production, featuring the beautiful Kitty Gordon, whose gowns alone in this picture cost s25,000, and expense is no other part of the picture has been spared to make it. a great one.
 With the headliners on this bill are Ryan and Julietto, in artistic melodies and eccentric dances; Lee, Walton and Henry, a trio, who are reputed to be the best in songs and nonsense; and Leonard and Louie, in clever capers of a high calibre.
 The compliments coming to the man. agement on the clever bill of the first half of the week were numerous and especially appreciative are the patrons of the reduction in prices, which elim- mates the penny change, and allows them to pay their war tax in silver money.

MEDICAL DOCTOR"
 SOLD BAG OF DIRT
Officers Arrest Man Who. It Is Claimed, Got Money From
 Nearly 100 Homes

"Dr." J. Barnard King, specialist in the cure of rheumatism, agout, spinal troubles, female troubles, and, in fact, any known human ailment, was given temporary lodging in the city jail yes- terday about noon with a charge of securing money under false pretenses, 1 and practicing medicine without Ii cense. He is also wanted in certain cities in California and Texas on the same charge.
 King is charged with doing his work in the suburbs and especially among negroes, and it is claimed he has swim dled not less than go persons in the past two months.
 According to the officers, he would make house to house canvass in a section of the city and collect s3 from each victim, leave his cure" and have the afflicted person sign promise to give him a testimonial of his remedy if it cured. He would then tell them that he would call again and collect the balance on the treatment at a date designated in his order book
 Several "order' books that the de- tectives found on King disclose the fact that he has visited no less than 100 homes and collected money from many of them, leaving his treatment, which proved to be nothing more than fine dirt and chalk sewed up in a small cloth bag, which he advised the pa tient to place over the part affected.
 Detective Propst says that King has operated in Owenton, Avondale, Ensley East Birmingham and many other sec tions of the city, and King himself claims to have practiced in California and other places.

OHIO DIVISION WILL
 REMAIN IN CAMP
 SIXTY DAYS LONGER
Officers Say No News Has Been Received to Indi' cate Early Departure
 for France

Montgomery. November 21.-tSpe- cial. l.)-Rumors have become so gen : eral that the training schedule of the Ohio division will be cut short and the division started at once for Lu- rope that Maj. ". H. Parker, chief of staff, Wednesday declared that not one word received by division head quarters would indicate that this was the plan of the war department.
 One Cincinnati father several nights ago called me on long distance and, in an excited voice, asked if he would have time to come to Montgomery and see his son before he left for Europe.
 "If you son goes to Europe any time within the next 50 days he will go as deserter,' he was told.
 Plans do not call for any change in the training. Everything ordered by Major General Treat in the schedule before he departed for Europe sev- eral weeks ago will be done and in dications are that the division will be here 50 days or longer.
 Eleven officers and enlisted men of the British army arrived Wednesday, " N-AAS0 NN Instructors
 They are experts in trench mortars, gas defense, machine gun instructions and physical and bayonet training. They have been in active service on various fronts for sometime.
 The division has adopted the civil- ians ideas of food conservation and orders posted in all units provide that any member who does not intend to report for mess must give notice with in the proper time so his food will not be prepared. This will mean an important saving as food not con sumed heretofore has been destroyed or given away.
 Camp Sheridan has heard that each regiment of artillery will soon be given two observation balloons and one or two airplanes for observation work. Many applications for this train ing have been filed and if the air machines are given the division will be able to furnish sufficient men to do the work.
 The monthly pay roll at Camp Sher- idan is growing larger each month and it became known Wednesday that the actual cash to be paid out this month in salaries of officers and enlisted men will be about s600,0o0.
