How can I help my country?
The American man, woman or child
who silently but sincerely has sought
to answer this question. has felt the
first thrill OF patriotism.
For such as these a new day has
dawned Their self-imposed question
heralds the promise OF personal sac
rifce on their countrys altar for jus
Itice and democracy.
How can help my country
Can't you hear the answer
1t comes as clear as shout in ths
silent night.
IT answers from out the trenches
Somewhere in France"--from beard
ed threats of war-worn soldiers, the
mud stained, blood-sitained, nerve
racked men OF steel from the thir
long lines that stand between you and
death-from those who ARE doing
tn air bit.
1t cries out to you from the wastes
OF mo mans land" where beneath
burning suns or in pale moonlight.
crawling in shell holes with the dead,
cruelty tortured and wounded In the
strife for your ideals OF liberty and de-
mocracy, are those who are doing their
bit.

Training the show Bird.
Build a row of training coops around
the walls OF house to accustom ex-
hibitfon birds TO tho confinement and
excitement OF the show. The coop
should be two feet square and thirty
inches high for each bird. with the
floor maze of one-tnch mesh wire net
ting. The use Of the netting floor in
sures q sanitary coop, and keeps the
fowls feat clean.
The youngsters. especially, will be
wild when hrst confined. so do not
Brighten them more than necessary.
Have vessels In the coop for feed and
water. Go to the coops several times
a day and enteavor TO tempt the chick
ems with dainties to eat. When the
birds are reconciied to the confinement,
take a stick and gently pass II aIong
the back: then try the hand. and. In a
few days you can place each bird In
any desired position.
Warm BATH h Essential.
About four days before the show
give each fowl warm bath. A
thorough washing and careful drying
will improve the appearance of almost
every fowl. whether It's color is white
black or intermediate shades. A hot
room and the following utensils ara

tubs for white fowls: dtpper. hand

placed for washing Is filled two-thirds
with fairly hot water. The second tub
Is partly filled with moderately warm
water to rinse out the soap, while the

Basketball Title

Tomorrow Night

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
interest has arisen In basketball cir
cies OF Virginia over the coming game
between Roanoke college and Washing
ton and Lee university to be staged On
the latter's court in Lexington Monday
night These are the only two undc-
feated college teams In the State and
so the contest will largely determine
to whom the basketball honors of the
1917 season In Virginia belong. v. NJ.
]. and ". p. I. remain undefeated by
Virginia teams but both have suf-
fered reverses at the hands of North
Carolina quints the past week.
Last year the Generals were unex-
pectedly handed a ~ to II defeat by
the Salem collegians. This time II Is
expected that they will see to their
defenses more closely. Both teams SO
far their season have had an unhrolIen
string Of victories. the Maroons hav
ing six to their credit. Washington
and Lee has triumphed over teams of
larger institutions than those which
Roanoke college has played and hence
has had severer tests OF strength. Van
dcf uiAt, WcEt sHGiHIa anu west ' II
ginia Wesleyan have been humbled by
her. Roanoke college has defeated the
majority of the representative regular
college teams Of the state. including
Hampden Sidney. William and Mary
and Randolph Macon. The Salem team
has run up total of 341 points to
her opponents II. Against teams
which both have played. the respective
showings have been about equal. In
fact. comparative scores In separate
cases give both institutions the edge
and hence points to a closely fought
game.
Indications now are that the Maroons
will have to dispense with the services
of Left Guard Duncan. who has n
severe case of tonsiiitis. Jerusalem"
Bonham also has been suffering
spFaIHed back, but II Ia hoped that the
big boy will be able to get into the
lineup by Monday. Sam Bonham and
Painter. who have played consistently
spectacular ball this season. will be
relied upon to do most Of the work at
the baskets.
