AS to Oucktown

Ducktown is situated in the heart
of the copper district of the Duck
town Basin and is peopled by thrifty
population of some 1900 souls.
The two copper companies have
monthly pay roll amounting to sew
eral thousands of dollars, most OF
which is-or would be-spent at home
when the things they desire can be
purchased here.
A store building right in the center
of the town and which has always
been considered the best location
here can be rented by live merchant
on most advantageous terms from

TO THE PUBLIC.

Having disposed Of our stock OF
general merchandise, it is highly nee
essary that all accounts due this firm
be settled at once.
AS it will be inconvenient for us to
maintain an Office for any length OF
time in order to collect on these &C
commits, we have decided to place all
those not paid in thirty days in the
hands of an officer, with Instructions
to collect them.
To those who have SO literally pa
tronized us, we extend our sincere
thanks and assure you that it was ap-
preciated. With best wishes, we are,
Yours respectfully,

LAST YEAR OF THE WAR.

For myself, | am satisfied that we are
entering the last year of the war. We may
have military decision between now and
the end of the campaigning season OF next
year. If we do not, | do not believe the
war will be ended by a military decision
if Russia quits the battle line and the
United States fails to make prompt and
great effort, supplying in some part the
Russian detection.
Ibelieve military victory must now
come to the Allies, if Russia and the
United States do their part. believe it
may come to the Allies if the United States
measures up to her great task and her OBJ
vious duty But do not believe that the
element of time is any longer an ally OF
the enemies of the Central Powers. be-
lieve that unless the submarine menace is
ended the Allies cannot go longer than
the end of next year. And | do not be-
lie,e that without great American reinforce
ments military decision will be had.
The German army is no longer the army
of 1914. German resources are fading
and falling. Yet, during the war of the
Spanish Succession Louis XIV faced the
great coalition under equal disadvantages
and managed to avoid the partition OF his
country and to achieve peace without IN
demnity or annexation. If the Germans
can last until the snow flies next autumn
they may be able to do the same thing.
Whether they will be able to do this or not
depends very largely upon the United
States and Russia, and only blind and
foolish man, whatever his hopes, would
place great reliance upon Russia.-trank

THE AFTERMATH.

I'LL
After complaining that critics of the adj
minisiration at Washington are paying the
hand of the Germen propogandist, the ~
ansville Courier gives vent 10 the following
observations, which are u1deniably origin
al:
The whole Republican organization in
the last camprign, from hughes and
Roosevelt down, uaincd the American
people in this sort OF complaining and
fault finding TIE partisanshp OF Tat
campaign is still rampant. Whatever the
motives OF the bewailer, the result
is the same as the German Propa-
gandist would bring about"
As we have repC atedly OBJ, erved, the
truth about the matter is that all the bitter
ness of that campaign was stirred by the
Democratic paci6st cry, 'He kept US out
of war" A campaign of terrorism wts
waged SO effectively, the horrors OF war
we're played up" SO conspiculously that
when war actually came our young men
we're so fearful of it that enlsments IN
the regular army fell off in spite of a vigor-
Gus campaign for volunteers, and the draft
had to be resorted to. Within five months
after the election the war came and these
Democratic organs that had been gIoatlng
over the revolving details of the war in or
der to brighten the young men, had to face
about and devote little space % patriot
ism. We have no sympathy for the young
man who was betrayed into voting for Will
son because 'he kept us out Of war.
Everybody knew that war was coming, ex-
cept few guileless individuals who SEEM
ed to want to be deceived. In this con-
nect!on it would be interesting to know
what attitude papers of the Courier stripe
would assume today were Hughes presi-
dent. The war would have come just tie
same, but do you think for a moment the
Courier would be backing the administra-
ton up?' The probabilities are that it
would be calling attention to its pre-elec-
ton prediction that war would follow the
election. The greatest blessing that ever
befell the Republican party was the cleo
ton of Wilson, for the war proved that he
was elected on false pretenses and gave
the government the support of an element
that would have been sullen and lacking in
enthusiasm otherwise. Everyone wants to
support the president and every man with
a grain of patriotism is doing SO with his
whole heart. 1t would seem, however, that
certain Democratic papers should have the
common decency to permit the people to
forget the play to the yellow streak, which
won the election for their idol, terrorized
nearly every young mrn i'll the country and
forced us to conecription basis in order
to secure an army.-Petersburg Qnd)

Reckless Driving Of Automobiles il
Cause Of Many Accidents.

Reckless Driving Of Automobiles is
Cause Of Many Accidents.
In order to obtain a definite idea Of
the amount OF care which the drivers
OF automobiles exercise against being
run into and killed by moving trains
when crossing a railroad track, a GER
tain Oklahoma railroad some time ago
concluded to place a watchman at two
prominent crossings with instructions
TO watch the driver OF each car min

leading cities OF Oklahoma and the
dates were from Oct. 26 to 80 inclus.

G, 7j5 automobiles passed over the two
crossings in question. OF this number
"A per cent looked neither to the righ.
nor the left 20 per cent looked only
one way, while S per cent came under
the head Of the utterly reckless; "
out of 6,75j drivers, only 1876 looked
both ways-and in these facts the pub
lie may read its answer to the query
as to why nearly $1,000 people are
killed or crippled annually by the rail
roads OF the United States.
And who is really responsible for
these appalling tragedies? The rail
roads? No-because for a number
of years they have been trying to burn

mind OF every man. woman and child

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWL
Most Essential That Hens Be Protect
ed From Indictment Weather.
and Their Enemies.

One Of the most essential things in
poultry keeping, is to have suitable
house which will protect the fowls
from inclement weather and from
their natural enemies. 1t is well I'M
derStood that no two farms will pre-
sent exactly the same conditions; for
instance, one farmer will desire to
keep one hundred hens while another
may want many more or less. Then
again, some farms will present one
kind of soil, whereas on other farms
the character of the soil and drainage
are entirely different. Some farmers
will desire house which presents an
attractive appearance, whereas on
other farms poultry houses will be so
located that they are not conspicuous,
and hence the matter of appearance is
Of little concern.
1t must be remembered that from
the standpoint of the hen, appearance
makes very little difference, but the
house must be so built and so ar
ranged that it will be a comfortable
place for the hens to live; otherwise
they will not thrive and production
will not be satisfactory. On many
farms the hens are not provided with
a house constructed especially for
them but are housed in an old building
originally made for some other pur-
pose.

DISPOSE OF DEAD CHICKENS
Cremation Is Only Safe Method of Get.

bide Can Is Handy.

There is only one safe method of
disposal of the dead, and that is by
burning. An ordinary wood fire does
well, but an old carbide can or other
such things made over slightly, makes
the job easier, more complete and less
repulsive, writes Dale r. Van Horn in
Farm and Home. Having procured the
carbon can, make a hole in the
bottom a little smaller than the
hole in the top, and then on one side
near the top make a door as shown.
Before starting operations, dig a
small hole and set the can inverted
over it. Fill with cobs or wood and
soak with cold oil. Then drop the
dead fowl in the top and ignite. When
all has burned, nothing will be left
but the ashes, which have fallen into

FATTEN POULTRY IN CRATES
Sending Chickens to Market Not Prop
erIy Fattened, Is WastefuI Prac-
tice of Farmers.

Sending chickens to market which
have not been properly fattened is
wasteful practice. The weight Of
healthy, well grown chickens can be
increased from % to so per cent in
two weeks by proper feeding. Three
hundred and fifty to four hundred
pounds of mash moistened with skim
milk or butter milk and properly fed
to good fowls will produce 100 pounds
Of poultry meat in from l. to IA days.
Proper feeding of the chickens be-
fore marketing improves the quality
Of the flesh. "Crate fed" and milk
fed are synonymous with "high quar-
Ity."
Chickens which have been milk fed
In crates should sell for from to 3
cents above the market price for I'M
tattened chickens. At this price, they
are cheaper TO the consumer on ac-
count of the reduced waste in dress
ing.
