FEED LATE HATCHED CHICKS
Little Ones Should Be Fed Separately
From Older Fowis-Thorouahly
Disinfect Coops.

1t Is a mistake to put the late
Matched chicks In the same yards with
older ones, to allow them to run on
ground which has been more or less
fouled by the earlier broods, or to use
the coops which earlier broOds have
used unless these coops have been
thoroughly disinfected. The little ones
must also be fed separate from the
larger ones or the latter will get most
of the feed besides abusing the smaller
ones.

William Starbuck's new car was
standing in front of Judge Warmers

Smith descended from the closed cab
which he had taken at the Hophra
House side entrance. The clock In
the courthouse tower was striking the

upon which the suburb was built COM
manded a broad view of the town and
the outlying ranch lands, and In the
distance beyond the river the Hillcrest
cottonwoods outlined themselves
against q background of miniature
buttes.
Smiths gaze took in the wide, sunlit
prospect. He had paid and dismissed
his cabman, and the thought came to
him that in few hours the wooded

mountains, and the pictured city
spreading maplike at his feet would
probably exist for him only as a mem

Most of the men in the Army are
private soldiers. Their work is of the
greatest importance and deserves all
the respect and praise which 1t re-
ceives. A great many men in the Ma
tional Army, however will be ambi-
tious to rise to higher ranks. They
will find plenty of encouragement and
Of opportunities for promotion.
If you are one of these men, don't
allow yourself to forget the fact that
you can win promotion only by prov
ing your fitness in each duty in
trusted to you. 1t is rare case when
a man is Jumped" several ranks
ahead. AS rule, he climbs from one
rank to the next higher rank after
having demonstrated in each position
his intelligence, honor, and reliability.
Even as a private, you may win ad-
vancement to the grade known as
first-class privates. About one-fourth
of the privates in each company may
be given the rating "first-class,
which means in substance that they
are regarded as skilled and trust
worthy soldiers.
NOncOmmissiOned Officers
From the frst-class privates are
usually chosen the corporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are ap-
pointed by the commanding officer of
the regiment on the recommendation
of the commanding officer of the COM
pany. In addition to the regularly ap-
pointed corporals each company may
have one lance corporal. This is a
temporary appointment made by the
company commander for the purpose
Of testing the ability of some private
whom he is thinking of recommending
for permanent appointment In case
the lance corporal does not make a
good shrowing, or for any other rea-
son, he may be returned to the ranks
when the commander of the company
sees fit,
Next above the corporal in rank
comes the sergeant. There are usu-
ally 3 to II sergeants in a company

with them during your army exper-
fence.
Commissioned Officers
Sergeants and corporals are known
as noncommissioned officers, because
they are appointed by their regimen
tai commanding officer. Officers Of
higher ranks are known as commits
stoned, since they hold their rank by
virtue of a commission issued to them
under authority of the President Of
the United States. The commissioned
officer is thus on quite different foot
ing from the "noncom" (noncommis-
stoned officer). He obtains his rank
and authority from a higher source.
He Is treated with respect which is Of
a different character from that extend
ed to noncommissioned officer. This
is one of the fundamental things in
Army organization.
Lowest in rank among the commits
stoned officers is the second lieutenant.
Above him comes the first lieutenant
and above him the captain. These are
the three company officers" TIL cap
tain is ordinarily the commanding Of
ficer of company, while the lieuten-
ants might be described as assistant
captains. In the absence or disability
OF the captain, however, the first lieu
tenant takes his place and has full
command, and In the absence or dis
ability of both the second lieutenant
takes the command.
Next above the captain is the major,
whose proper command Is battalion.
A step higher Is the lieutenant colonel
and above him the colonel, the COM
handing officer of regiment. The
lieutenant colonel ordinarily assists
the colonel and in his absence takes
the command. In case both the lieu
tenant colonel and the colonel are dis
abled or absent, the senior major
takes the command.
The General Officers
Above the colonel is the brigadier
general, whose proper command is
brigade. Above the brigadier general
Is the major general, the highest rank
at present held by any officer of the
American Army
One general, however, serves as
Chief of Staff of the Army. AS such
he supervises all troops and depart
ments Of the military service. He in
turn reports to the Secretary Of War
The Secretary of War in his
