C@HAUTAUQUA TRADES
GETS PROPERTY IN EXCHANGE
TO ERECT BATHHOUSE
ON LAKE FRONT.

A transaction was completed dur
ing this week whereby the Chautau-
qua association acquires various lots
and tracts which will make their
holdings at the lake more nearly
solid. A committee appointed by the
association dealt with II. r. Smith
for the tracts close to the hotel, trad
ing him other property.
An exchange was made, the asso-
citation acquiring a site on the lake
front near the hotel, consisting of six
lots and the old depot property. The
six lots will be used by the associa-
ton for the erection of a modern
boat and bath house, estimated TO
cost about $1,000. The basement at
the water level is to be of cement
and used to house boats and boating
equipment. The second floor will be
frame. divided into individual dress
ing rooms, with showers, and of
easy access to the lake for bathing.
This part is to be divided into two
sections, to accommodate both men
and women bathers.
In exchange for the property as
cited above. Mr.. Smith receives three
lots he has had leased, n ~ acres
OF the 32-acre Kennedy tract which
the association bought last year.
The ten acres remaining will be put
into shape to be used as a baseball
park.
The committee selected by the as
ISOLATION to conduct the transaction
consists of Frank Smith, w. 7,
Stearns, A. G. Schmidt. Geo. X.
Farmer. NJ. f. Hart and John w.
Walden. 1t required some time TO
consummate the deal, as II was a
difficult matter 10 establish the
values and reconcile them 10 the op-
posite offerings. The committee
proceeded on the idea that it was
desirable to consolidate the holdings
of the association into a solid block,
and except for the three lots as afore-
said. and the depot property, inns
has been done.

FLOUR CASE SOLUTION
MEN HAVE CONFESSED, 1T l.
SAID-BOUND OVER To
CIRCUIT COURT.

In Justice Soper's court this morn
ing. VIII Sandman waived examina-
ton for participating in the theft of
flour from a railroad car earlier in
The month. and was held TO appear
at circuit court under a bond of
$500. A like bond was imposed up
on Elmer Gilbertson yesterday in
Judge Sponholz's court for his part
in the same affair. Frost and John
son are TO be arraigned tomorrow,
and il is anticipated that they will
enter the same plea as TO the waiver
of examination. and probably be
placed under the same amount of
surety.
Sandman and Gilbertson are later
entries i'm the case. They We're both
under suspicion. 1t Is said that each
of the whole quartet have made con-
fession of his separate and collective
part in the enterprise, but that in
view of the fact that they AVE fam
lies. and are preparing to do plant
ing, even in the face of a construe-
tive confession, they will be allowed
their freedom under the bond until
the October term of court.
The history of the case is varied
somewhat from the versions as first
published. Sandman had the team,
and il was on the solicitation OF the
others Of the gang that he entered
into the thing. 1t was his team that
hauled "a sacks of flour and seven
of shorts and middlings from the car
to the deserted house on the shores
of Lake Herman. 1t was his team
that was used in transporting the
plumber from the house TO h old
separator after there had been search
warrants served on nouseholders in
the west part of town, and they fear
ed a discovery of their cache. They
thought the separator would be
safer, but the physical activities OF a
small boy, climbing about on the
abandoned piece of machinery while
his father was planting potatoes
nearby upset their well-laid plans,
with the result that the goods were
found. The goods located, ii was
only a matter of time until the prln-
cipals of the deal were rounded up.
Officers do not care, they say, TO
push the case with rigor, inasmuch
as there are three wives and seven
children affected by the remova OF
the earners from them. The past
winter has been n of severity, hard
ship and unusual length of cold
weather. Another circumstance that
is professed to be considered extenu-
ating is the fact that the t~ransporta-
ton company will leave carloads OF
valuable property in the far extremes
of the yards, ~unguarded, and in many
cases without seals or locks on the
cars. Not long ago, a man walked
through that section at 3 O'Clock In
the morning, and in at least two
places he could nave taken staple
articles of food from the cars with
good chance of not being suspected.
The men are said to have admitted
everything. 1t is in their favor to do
SO. 1t Is leniency on the part OF Of
ficers here that they be allowed TO
provide for their families until fall.
their freedom only contingent upon
their behavior. Any violation of the
law will terminate their bond, and
mitigate against their chances OF
leniency in the court in the fall.

POULTRY PRODUCTS IN THE U.S..

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 15.-The
statement made ut the recent agricultural
conference at St. Louis that the poultry
products of the United States could be
doubled within a year means that if ev-
erybody in a position to help did their
part six hundred million dollars worth Of
food would be added TO our supply this
year.
This includes both meat for the table
and eggs. Very few farmers practice a
systematic plan of disposing of their fowls
after they have ceased to be productive,
although it is well known that fowls of the
heavier breeds, such a. Plymouth Rocks
cease TO produce a profitable number of
eggs at the end of their second laying
year, and that this holds true of the light
or breeds, such a the Leghorns, at the
end of their third laying year. Conse-
quently, if efforts were made 10 dispose of
all females when their best laying days
were over a large quantity of poultry meat
would be placed on the market. All poor
~ developed chickens should likewise be
culled out and used a. meat. This way
of disposing nnprofitablc fowls would al
low the farmer to feed hi, grain to young
or and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockercls that are not in
tended for breeding purposes will not only
increase their size but will place q more
desirable poultry meat on the market. An
other practice that should he adopted more
widely i that OF fattening all chickens that
are 10 be marketed before they leave the
farm. This can be done easily by confin-
ing the birds for a week or ten days and
feeding them a good fattening ration. They
will come to market then in better condi-
tion and the farmer will receive "a profit
for their added weight.
The greater production of turkeys,
ducks, geese, and guineas. all of which can
be profitably raised and a ready market
found IN most sections, would increase the
supply of poultry meat considerably. The
production of ducks especially should he
emphasized mt this time, because Of the ra-
pidity with which they grow. Ducks of
most OF the meat breeds, properly fed and
managed frequently weigh from five to six
pounds at ten weeks of age. Ii is esti-
mated by poultrvmcn making a specially
of growing ducks that the feed cost per
pound OF producing luck meat ranges from
> cents 10 II cents, depending upon the
current prices of grain and other feeds.
INCREASING SUPPLY OF EGGS.
The number of marketable eggs can be
increased bv following a few practical sug-
gestions. Among the most important of
these are the production Of the i~nfcrtile
eggs after the breeding season is over, and
the proper handling of eggs by the farmer
before sending them to market. The in
fertile egg IS obtained when all male birds
are removed from the flock. This does not
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1917-05-15

decrease the number Of egg produced. but
It does increase greatly their keeping qual-
tiles. The production of the i~nfcrtilc egg
and the proper handling and marketing of
eggs by the producer would increase ire
mendously the number of marketable eggs
each year by diminishing the quantity that
are rendered unfit for food.
An increased production Of ducks eggs

found.
The poultry house should be clean and
sanitary and the fowls free from insect
pests, thereby preventing disease and NOR
tally. II is estimated that nearly So
600, 900 worth of poultry Is lost each year
through disease alone. Special attention
should be given 10 the feeding and hons-
ing of laying fowl, at seasons of the wear
when their natural source of food supply

IRISH Al UUDS
ON TIME OF DAY
WERE WHOLLY UMPREPARED THIS
YEAR FOR INAUGURATION OF SUM-
MER TIME DAYLIGHT SAVING.
lRy Associated press.l

DUBLIN, May 15.-lreland as a whole
was utterly unprepared forthe Inaugural :
ton Of the summer time clock this year.
Last year, Ireland had its own local time,
and the difference between the newly in
stituted summer time and the local time
was only 30 minutes. But this summer the
Irish clock had already been legally push
ed forward TO correspond with Greenwich
time; consequently noon today would have
been only 10 80 a. m. before the two al
terations.
| With the double change there is moth
ing like general agreement. The Irish are
entirely at odds regarding the time Of day.
For some business purposes in the cities
the new time has been accepted willy-nilly.
Trains run by it and government offices
demand il. Several privately and rclig-
iously controlled schools also conform to
il, but the commissioners of national edu-
cation have given half IN hours grace for
the roll call in national schools.
In the farming communities a consider
h4'e portion Of the population Is still
going by the oldtime schedule, on the
ground hat the earlier time disaranges
farm work and the milking of cows.
But, in regard to church services, the
greatest divergence prevails. The Protest
ant churches, generally nave adopted the
new time 70 rthe services, but the bishops
of several Catholic dioceses nave directed
their clergy to keep to the old time, even
permitting themselves TO say some sharp
things about the Irish members of parlia-
mcnt who allowed the legislation To pass
land. The archbishop of Dublin, Doctor
WALSH, however, has adopted the new time
for his diocese. The primatc of all Ire
land, Cardinal Logue. favors the old time.

INDEMNITY FROM
GERMANY WANTED
FRANCE WILL MAKE NO PEACE SET
+. ELEMENT WITHOUT PREPARATION /,
! FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED.

I! PARIS, May 15.-The repeal of the e.
nance committee of the chamber of depu-
ties on the bill providing for a new income
tax as a substitute for all other direct
taxes, shows that the war has caused a
comparatively small increase in taxes in
Paris thus far. 1t emphasizes the purpose
to effect a peace settlement which will i'm
pose upon Germany the CHEW burden of
meeting the enormous expenditures result
ing from the war.
The report shows that taxes in England
increased during the war from 95 to 265
francs per capita, while the increase in
France was from 90 to 100 francs.
'Finally," the report continues, '-let Us
remember that we must impose upon our
enemy a considerable part of the burden
0f this horrible conflict provoked by them
alone. We must have a peace that pays.
"In PREPARATION for the damages caused
In the invaded sections we will require
of Germany restitution in kind of ma
chimes, stocks, merchandise, lumber and
material of all kinds that nave been stolen
from our unfortunate people and also hat
the towns and villages destroyed by a
criminal race of barbarians shall be re-
built by German hands. We shall insist, in
addition, that ships of the German fleet
shall be delivered to US to replace those
