HUNTING LAWS.
Government May Modify Migratory
Law in Fall.

Modification of the federal migra-
tory bird regulations prescribing a
daily closed season on all migratory
birds from sunset to half an hour be-
fore sunrise, instead of from sunset
to sunrise, is proposed by the depart
ment of agriculture and if approved
by President Wilson, will be put into
effect about October Is.
Another change proposed will be to
make an open season for waterfowl
from September 16 to December 81 in
elusive in certain states including
Wisconsin.
These changes are designed to unity
the season on waterfowl in the north
ern zone and in most instances are
made to conform with the open sea-
sons under state laws

Youth and Old Ace.

I have a theory that old age is in
better touch with youth than middle
age. The grandsires and grandames OF
all time are evidence. Through beau
tiful foresight OF nature the old folk
are living their young days over again
in memory, and yet have lived long
enough to see that if youth is full of
joyance and age of care, the care is a
matter of no great account while the
joyance was the rich reward of life

Oratory may thrill with it's elO-

it is an example which gradually molds
the character. No matter how per-
suasive the message of the tongue, the
message of the daily life continually
outweighs it. 1t is of little use to
point out the blessedness of the heav-
emily road to those about us, unless our

IMPORTANT EGGS BE TURNED
Comparatively Small Hens Have Trou-

Sometimes it is necessary to set
goose eggs under comparatively small
hens, that have not the strength to
turn the large eggs. In setting eggs
under hen, mark them on one side,
so that you can tell whether or not
the hen is turning them.
1T she does not turn the eggs, the
goslings viii be crippled, unless the
eggs are turned by hand.

About ten days should be allowed
for the fertilization of the flock by
the male. However, in small fiocks,
such as four or five females, only four
or five days is needed.

One of the greatest advantages of
electric lighting has been control from
a distance, the placing of a switch or
button at the entrance to room, a
hall, or building thus permitting the
space to be Illuminated before it is
entered Such control switches are
not visible in the darkness and it often
requires search to locate the button
and obtain light. A new attachment of
insignificant size called Radieye con-
tanning quantity Of glowing radium
may be attached to pull chain or push
button plate, allowing the light con-
troll switch to be easily located in the
darkness, and obyiating the usual
search for the lamp or push button.
The new attachment has the advant-
age over its phosphorescent contem-
poraries in that exposure to sunlight
during the day is unnecessary to in
sure lasting glow at night.

Eleven meals each week with no
white bread; no white bread for any
MONDAY meal, and no white bread for
any meal on Wednesdays and Satur-
days. This is the new wheat saving
program promulgated for the entire
population by Professor Alfred Atkin-
son, Food Administrator, pursuant to
the instructions he has just brought
back from Washington. The dictum
from there is that the wheat saving
program thus far has not accomplish
ed enough to enable us to feed our al
lies until next harvest. Hotels, res
taurants, boarding houses. and all the
people who eat three meals a day,-are
urged to cooperate in tightening up
at once and vigorously on the use of

hungry while up at Fort Douglas the
intelned Germans are sorging their
stomachs. Likewise, many Of our
own citizens, Notwithstanding their
patriotic pretensions, are still in
dulging their appetites with menus
that would excite the envy of old
Epicurus himself. This isn't right.
Morally, the one practice is just as
bad as the other. Food conservation
will work, providing no favors are
asked and none received. Otherwise
it is doomed to failure.
In Justice to Mr.. Hoover, it should
be said that when he was apprised
of the attitude of the Southern
women he Immediately addressed a
request to Secretary of War Baker
that he be reasonable in his distr-
button of foodstuffs to his guests.
Someone has also APPLY suggested
that Mr.. Baker sign the food pledge
on behalf of his German visitors.
Perhaps by this time he has come to
appreciate the desirability of having
a feast of reason with this flow of
soul.-Goodwin's Weekly.
