Poultry Pointers

Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting for
their last meal.
Put the windows in the poultry
house low down near the floor, so that
the hens win get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching for
their feed.
4 The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes
splendid winter litter in which to feed
the small grain. Have it about six
inches deep all over the hen-hOuse
floor
All perches In the pOultry-house
should be built on a level. When built
one above another, step-fashion, the
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some of them will
become Injured or eggs will be broken
in them.
Grit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have large pile of sand and gravel
handy, where the fowls can help
themselves.

Tribute To State Food

Mr.. Beacham declared that he
would leave the adjustment of this
very obvious wrong to the men them
selves. But he emphasized the point
that the Food Administration at
Washington had called his attention
in no uncertain language to this dis.
crepancy of prices.
The day was opened with speeches
by Mayor Giles, who welcomed the as.
semblage on behalf of the city; and
H. H. Dickson, president of the Board
of Trade; and followed the course of
organization and discussion, and ter
minated with an automobile sight-see-
ing tour, following a dinner at the Lu-
cerne Hotel.
Speaking on behalf of the Board of
Trade, Mr.. Dickson said. 1--WE are
sorry that it had to be world wide

of the earth, and touching the lives
of SO many millions of people. But
sirce we had to have this war, and
one of its effects was to bring about

When the convention got down to
business, c. w. Earring, of Jackson

business was at once begun of divid
ing the delegations into their ele
ments as respecting hotel and restau

The retailers .were in the majority
perhaps three to one. Apparently the
hotel and restaurant men and whole
salers were about equal in numbers.

THE SPANISH SANTA CLAUS

In Spain, however, it is not Santa
Claus, but one of the three kings, no
less a person, indeed, than Balthasar,
who is the purveyor of gifts. He is
always represented as negro, even
in the pictures of the old masters, and
as such he survives in Spanish leg
end. On the eve Of the Epiphany
the children leave their shoes and
boots out in some convenient spot
near the chimney, to find them laden
with gifts in the morning. Boots, In
fact, preceded the stocking every.
where, the superior advantages Of
the latter as receptacle having
| been recent discovery In Belgi.
um to this day the children give their
! shoes an extra fine polish on Christ
mas eve, fill them with hay, oats or
carrots for Santa Claus white horse
and put them on the table or set
them in the fireplac. The room is
then carefully closed and the door
locked. In the morning strange
thing is found to have occurred. The
furniture is all turned topsy turvy,
the fodder has been removed from
the shoes, and in it's place the good
little children find all sorts of nice
things and the bad ones only rods
made of birch. In other localities
baskets, dishes and wooden ware are
made the receptacles. But the elias
ITCHY of the stocking, its adaptability
and the fact that, while it preserves
the individuality of the owner, like
shoe. it may yet be cleaned and
made ready for the reception Of edi
BILE presents-these characteristics
have caused 1t to grow into general
favor among the Juvenile votaries OF

Your country is at war. THIS WAR

people Of the land. In order to pro.
vide it and lend it to the govern
ment, earning interest and being Sc
cure beyond question of doubt, YOU
MUST SAVE.
| 1t Is easier to save in small
amounts than it is to save big sums.
To enable everybody within the
land to save, plan has been devised
whereby you can begin with 20 cents

ing on the time when you acquire

Orlando, Dec. 21.-"In welcoming
you to Orlando" declared Mayor
Giles yesterday morning, in opening
the Food Conservation Convention,
81 wish to say that Orlando is par
ticularly proud of this splendid bus.
mess man, your chairman, and the
great work he is doing as the Food
Administrator of the State of Florida.
And we are also proud of the fact
that Orlando could furnish a man
who is capable of handling, and is
handling so great an undertaking
giving his time and energy in patri-
otic service to his country"
Food conservation got the biggest
boost in the history of the movement
in this state here yesterday, when
between two and three hundred men,
representing the hotel and restaurant
interests, wholesale and retail grocers,
met in a convention at the Grand
Theater to organize with view Of
through cooperation to aid the gov.
ernment
Patriotism and service were the
key notes of the meeting, which for
display of loyalty to the govern
ment was without parallel in the
history of conventions in the State
Delegations from north, east, south
and west-and they came from all
over the commonwealth; from Pen
sacola to Key West-voiced sentf
ments of strongest adherence to the
cause of winning the war and serv
ing the great cause of conserving foot
to help the world.
The most evident note struck
throughout the proceedings was thai
henceforth profteering will have tt
cease in Florida
''No greater stigma can be placet
upon merchant" declared Braxtor
Beacham, the Food Administrator, ad
dressing the gathering, than to have
his license revoked And the dis
grace to the retailer to have whole
saler withhold his supplies from hin
will follow him to his grave"
1--WE are taught in this country tina
money is power" declared j. H
Whitney, secretary of the meeting
"but when rich man comes int,
your hotel and demands meat on ,
meatless day, you say to him: W.
are serving the patriotic people O
the United States, and if you are on
of them"
"He didn't finish the sentence. B.
the time the speech-making had ad
yanced that far enthusiasm was rur
ming high, and applause drowned tn
speakers sentence.
But" Mr.. Whitney continued, "yo-
cannot do that alone. There must b
cooperation All the hotel men Q
the State must be prepared to bac
you up" And right there he struc
the motive of the convention. Wha
one does, all must do, otherwise tn
movement will break down and disir
tegrate.
The opening proceedings of tn
convention served to throw the spo
light on the sale of -four in Florida
which, it developed, is higher her
than in any other State in the cour
try. On this point Mr.. Beacham said
"In this matter of the price of fioul
gentlemen, Florida, as usual, take
the lead, but this is an unfortunat
circumstance"
He then instructed the secretary t
read comparative scale of prices
which shows that this basic commo(
ity is selling in this State for $1.S6
sack. whereas it is bringing but SIG
on an average throughout the Unite
States. In Colorado the figure
showed 1t is selling as low as $1.4l

Cheating ON the Job

One Of the features of this material.
istic age and the natural expression of
1t is where men accept jobs and then
neglect to attend to them honestly.
There LIS general complaint upon this
score. The usual form of the dishon.
esty comes In putting more time on
JOB than Is necessary, .,eIzss szsA
This Is a form Of rank dishonesty.
1t comes In the shape of deyoting
three hours to Job that ought not to
take more than two. 1t Is strange how
easily mems hearts become hardened
to oil these apparently innocent frauds.
They seem not to care how much a
Job costs a man, provided they are not
the man. The indifference to the 9th.
er fellows welfare is one of the great
sins of the age, of which reputed good
men are about as guilty as the reputed
bad.
One Of the highest duties of mans
life is to see that he doesn't cheat
somebody, but this duty is almost uni
yersalIy neglected. Our Christianity
needs a vigorous brushing up.-ohio

bury, road commissioner of Long
Island, the long-needed repairs on the
sidewalks and roads have been made.
and they now take on a different as
pect. The sidewalk on Island avenue
near the DirigO House has been re-
paired and the summer people of that
house and island are very much
pleased with its appearance. Long
Island is indeed fortunate in securing
such an efficient road commissioner as
Mr. Woodbury., for the minutest detail
OF the road conditions in every respect
receives his careful consideration and
planning.
The many friends of Capt Henry
Howe, who resides on Island avenue,
will be sorry to learn that he is failing
fast. Capt. Howe, who passed his
seventy-fifth birthday Fourth of July,
is Civil War veteran, having served
his country four years in the thickest
Of the fight.
Miss Grace O'Reilly is at Cliff Island
this week visiting her brother, Miles
l.. O'Reilly, lobsterman
Many summer people of this island
are availing themselves of the rare op.
portunity of hearing the famous Kotz,
SEMINAR municipal organ at City Hall
Portland, several parties having al.
ready gone from here. This is indeed
rare privilege, for the organ is
ranked as the best in the United
States, and the organist, Prof. Will c..
Macfarlane, has no equal in America.
Miss Marion Farmer and Eleanor
Thompson of Overland, Florida, ar
rived on the island last Saturday even
ing to spend the summer with their
