Beauty Skin Deep

A young planter in Mississippi
had an old servant called Uncle
Nose, who had cared for him as
a child and whose devotion had
never waned. The young man
became engaged to a beauty of
the neighborhood who was cred
tied with the possession of a vio-
lent temper. Noticing that Un-
Gle Nose never mentioned his ap-
preaching marriage, the planter
said one day:
Nose, you know l am going
to marry Miss Currier?"
"Yassuh, knows it."

thing about it," persisted the
planter.

OVERHA UL BUILDINGS w PREP ARATION FOR WINTERS WORK
Poorly Housed Poultry Must Consume Too Much Food to Keep Warm-Leaky Roofs Mean Cold, Wet Quarters and Mucky, Filthy Litter
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG Expert poultryman and Writer

ExRGft tOullE nun dAO vvAANSA
 October may seem to be an unimpor- tant month in the poultryman's calen- dar, but in reality it is period or vital consideration. It is the terminus of years work, so to speak, and the beginning of another season. It is the time when last years bullets graduate into the yearling class. When their aver ages are summed, and those with poor laying records are culled for market. This wedding process is the beginning of selection of next seasons breeders. October is the month in which to clean and overhaul the buildings and make preparations for the winters work.
 Autumn is the season that tests the real ability of the poultryman, his pa tience and sometimes his pocketbook as we'll. With most of the yearlings out on a strike, by reason of the molt and the bullets not as yet laying to their capacity, egg receipts are often no high e. than the feed bills. Experienced breed CTS understand that these circumstances are bound to prevail at this season, because 1t is betwixt and between the gong ana coming or the olu ana new flocks.
 The novice who started chickens in the spring and is approaching his first winter. Is very apt to feel bit dis couraged or perplexed. Put such feel ings aside. Cheer up! If the young stock was properly matched and brooded fed sufficiently on well-balanced ra- tion, and given clean, comfortable living quarters. though they may seem to be but marking time,'' they will soon strike up a lively gait and be laying before you know 1t.

Training Soldiers to March

StTdlu nly ySdlt, III l<cSilS 5.
 The infantry of our army marches; customarily in what is termed column of squads, four men abreast. The only orders the individual soldier gets on the march are to keep directly behind the man in front of him. to keep 40 inches behind him Cor as close to 40 inches as human falibi1ity makes pos sible) and to hold his rifle any way he wants as long as he holds it with the muzzle up and so it doesn't poke into the face of the man in back Of him. Those are the only two rules keep your place (no matter what hap pens, keep your place) and keep your gun to yourself. You don't have to keep step. You take your own step, whatever is easiest and most com fortable for you. You don't have to keep silent. You can talk or laugh or sing to your hearts content In fact, you are encouraged to sing, for sing ing helps to cover ground. And you may smoke as you please.
 That doesn't seem particularly hard and yet it is. In the first place, there is a natural tendency to fall back little farther than 40 inches from the man ahead of you. I say in the first place. Really it is first. second third and last place, all in one. That is the one big, hard job, to keep the column closed up, to keep it, in military par lance, from elongating. Now. you'd think any reasonably intelligent man with nothing else much to think about could keep specified distance from a man walking just ahead of him in military formation. But try 1t some time. You turn to say something to somebody alongside of you or behind you; you bend down to tuck in a leg ging lace or you struggle to get into one of your pockets (your cartridge, belt always seems to cover all your pockets) to reach your tobacco pouch. Before you know it you've lost a foot You are 52 inches back of the man in front. Perhaps you don't notice it. And you stay that way. The man be- hind you goes through the same evo- lutions; he gets 52 inches behind you and stays there All along the line it takes place-and the column begins to stretch out like an accordion.
 If there are 150 men to company, as there have been up to the present in our army's war strength organiza- tion. there will be some s4 ranks or sets of fours. If each one of these falls back a foot this single company will be elongated S4 feet. With 12 com panies to a regiment all doing the same thing, the regiment will elong- ate some 400 feet. A brigade of three regiments will thus take up almost d quarter of a mile more of road space than is allotted to it. In the march of any army division this elongation as sumes tremendous proportions if 1t is permitted to occur. There have been numerous battles lost purely because of this very thing. when troops in the rear were forced so far back along road that 1t took them a half hour longer to get up to the firing line and into action than the commander had originally figured upon
 It takes practice march after prac- tice march to train the men of com mand to keep their places in column.
