Advises Farmers
to Keep Their Chickens

And now to add to all our troubles
comes the president of the Oregon
State Poultry Breeders Association
with the alarming information that the
farmyard hen is becoming SO expehsi We
to the farmer on account of the high
cost of feed, that if hen census was
now takes in the valley, it would show
decrease of fully so per cent com
pared to one year ago. And reasoning
along the same line, he figures that
eggs may retail at from 60 to 70 cents
dozen this winter. He advises farm
ers not to sell their poultry as they
surely viii make big money for some
one this winter at the rate of five
cents a lay. Mr.. McClanahan, who is
regarded as one of Oregon IS poultry
experts, advises farmers to feed corn.

McAdoo Signature On
Worlds Largest Check

Washington, Aug. 20.-The largest
check ever issued in the world has been
returned to the United States treas
ury, paid and cancelled. The check for
two hundred million dollars was sign
ed by Secretary of the Treasury Will
liam G. McAdoo, and represented the
first payment on the loan of the Unit
led States TO Great Britain.
Other large checks which have been
Isigned by Secretary McAdoo within the
last six months are one for 100000, 900
to France and one for $l00,000,000 to
Italy. Numerous other smaller checks
ranging from $1,000,000 to $75,000,000
have been signed as loans to our allies.
Previous to January 1917, the larg-
est check that had ever been signed by
secretary of the treasury of the Unit
ed States was one for $40,000,000 in
payment for the rights of the French
Panama Canal company for the privi-
llege of constructing the Panama canal.
The next largest check was for $15,-
100000 in payment for the Danish
West Indies.
When the treaty ceding the islands
to the United States was signed it con-
tanned clause calling for payment of
the entire amount in gold. When it
came time for the Danish minister to
collect for the islands, the treasury
was ready to make the payment in gold
but the perplexed minister found that
there were hardly enough wagons in
Washington to haul $4,000, 900 in gold
and finally, after much cabling be-
tween officials, he consented to take
draft for the amount, to be placed
at the credit of his government.

British Steamers and Ten
Other Vessels Are
Damaged in Dock Fire

New York, Aug. 20.-Two steamers
and ten smaller vessels doeked at the
foot of Congress street, Brooklyn, were
seriously damaged by fire, believed to
be of incendiary origin, early today.
The damage to the vessels is estimated
at upwards of 100000. The fire fol-
lowed two explosions.
The steamers were loaded with glucos
and sugar.
A preliminary investigation by police
led to the conviction that the fire was
accidental, being caused by spontaneous
combustion.
One of the vessels had naval gun
on board, and men hastily threm the
ammunition overheard to avoid more
serious explosions.
The blaze started on one Of the piers.
1t spread quickly to the steamers Baron
Jedbough and the Christian Baros, and
then to ten tugs and lighters which
were nearby. Fire boats aided the land
fighters.

How to Address
Letter to Friends
In Uncle Sans Navy

Information has been given out by
the navy as TO the proper method o1
addressing men ON ship board or who
are in any way in the service Of the
navy.
For men on ship the main thing is to
be sure to which ship the man is as
signed, or to what station. For instance
if John Doe is on the U. s. s. South
Carolina, he should be addressed as fol
lows:
JOHN DOE,
U. s. S. South Carolina,
Care Postmaster New York City,N.Y.
1t is the business of the New York
postmaster to know where the South
Carolina is stationed and to forward
all such mail.
If the correspondent does not know
en- which ship man is serving, write
to the Bureau of Navigation, Navy De-
partment, Washington, ID. G. giving his
name in full, home address, place of
enlistment and the branch of service in
which he enlisted.
When one is not certain that the man
sought has enlisted in the navy, but
would like to trace him, the following
letter addressed to the Bureau of Navi-
cation would serve as guide:
Bureau of Navigation,
Navy Department,
Washington, d. c.
The letter reading: "Is there a man
in the navy by the name Of John Doe
giving description of the MANI whose
home address is If so, please
notify ~
OF course all men in the navy are
to give their home address,
but if this is not known, letter ad-
dressed to him with the name of ship,
to the Postmaster at New
York, N. Y. will reach him. Do not
write the postmaster at Washington, D.
G. 1t is New York City, and the post
master there that attends to the mail
