Chelan Man lnvents Portable
Fireplace

H. c. Keeler, G. A. R. veteran,
twenty-odd years resident Of Lakeside,
and an old and valued friend OF the
writer, has patented portable fireplace
which he contemplates putting on the
market very soon. The Leader OF last
week has the following to say OF the
invention:
DR.. Latham says he never saw stove
or fireplace which pleased him so well
or gave him such perfect satisfaction as
The Keeler Portable Fireplace"
1t is a wonderful heater, no more
wood and coal than a closed stove.
1t is not only a large open fireplace,
but it is also a closed heater and per-
feet baker.
Standing on legs it is set up or re-
moved the same as any stove.
The Doctor says he bakes potatoes
in twenty minutes and the finest he
ever ate.
He will be pleased to have any who
are interested in it call at his new resi-
dence in Lakeside and examine it.
Mr.. H. c. Keeler, the inventor, is
making arrangements to begin the man
ufacture OF this fireplace in the very
near future and hopes soon to have
some of them on sale in Chelan.

The zero weather that prevailed for
the last week thruout the northwest
played the deuce with the operation oi
trains. No. 1, the thru mail train from
Chicago, has been late from three to
more than four hours every day. This
slight inconvenience is magnifed by
inconsiderate people. When one stops
to consider the difficulties that may re-
suit from unusual weather conditions
in two thousand mile run the marvel
is that delays are not greater.

LEANfNWORTH SCORES
AGAINST CASHMERE
In the Hottest Basket Ball Game Wit
ness Here This Season

Those OF Leavenworth who missed
the game between Cashmere high and
the local school Friday mite last missed
a game that will long be remembered
by the fans Of this city. 1t was un-
doubtedly the best game ever witnessed
here, and beyond question the best
game ever played by the high school
lads.
From the first whistle. it was slam
band, go-get-um affair that fairly made
ones hair raise and the spectators nearly
raised the roof with their wild roofing.
The locals went after Cashmere like
so many wild cats and fairly smothered
them with speed and intricate plays.
Three baskets were netted inside OF
the first two minutes of play. The
BOYS showed team work and all round
class, a result of good and careful
coaching. Very little individual play
ing was noticeable. Only in one or
two cases did anyone get the idea he
could play the game alone. This illu-
sion was quickly dispelled by the coach
and the boys settled down to teamwork
which won them the game.
We predict that with a little more
practice and the same material Leaven-
worth high will be equal to any school
in the state in towns twice this size.
A good crowd was out and this helped
the boys to win. Nothing helps team
or individual more than to know he
has good loyal support, and good
turnout is urged to the next game. If
support can make team win, let's have
world beaters here. High school ath-
letics are just as important to the well
fare Of community as good citizenship
on the part Of each individual is. Lets
support them.
Mick McNett, the old war horse
played brilliant game and as usual
got the tipof an every tossup. In the
last half he was replaced by Wolden-
berg on account Of injuries. Woldie,
however, gave good account Of himself
while in. Fitzpatrick, the fighting
mick was there with bells playing a
fast game and when in a close scrim-
mage and the referee wasn't looking
applied many a loving upper cut from
Cashmere.
L. Wunder made his initial bow for
the season and played a game that
would have done credit to a man twice
bis size. His basket eye was good and
he made some sensational shots.
B. Wunder, old time warriar was out
in full dress for the first time this season
and kept Cashmere guessing where all
the crowd was coming from for every
time the visitors got the ball in their
territory Bill was there as tho there was
three or four OF him.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the baby of the team, that is, a man
who is playing his first year of varsity,
and plays with the speed and precision
Of veteran Of many seasons Battling
Nelson. Osborn's new find showed up
in college style and broke up a good
many of Cashmere's carefully planned
plays. He is fast and husky and for
man his size plays remarkably we'll.
On the whole Leavenworth has a
team to be proud Of and we should
support it we'll.

MEAT NEEDED FOR CHICKENS
Fowls Confined In Yards or Pens Re-
quire Something to Take the
Place Of Insects.

Fowls confined In close pens, yards
or runs where they have little chance
to get insects will need some kind of
meat. Grain will not supply enough
protein and mineral matter for best
results.
To supply this demand for protein
and mineral matter meat meal, meat
scrap or tankage is generally fed. Lay
ing hens especially need some Of these
forms of feed. Young chickens will
thrive better II fed meat In some form
occasionally.
The best way to feed meat meal or
meat scrap is to mix 1t with wheat,
bran, rice bran, cornmeal, corn chops
or shorts. The mash should not be
very wet and sloppy, but, should be
moist enough to adhere and thus save
waste Of the fine particles OF meat.
Many poultry feeders feed meat
meal mash once day, usually in the
morning, others give two or three
feeds of this mash a week.

For the last four years, the Penn
sylvania experiment station has been
collecting data on the cost Of raising
Leghorn pullets. In this experimental
work, thousands of chicks have been
Matched, and every item of expense In
connection with raising them has been
kept. The results Of the experiment
are summarized In a recent bulletin Us
follows:
/. Based on four seasons work and
several thousand chicks Matched, it
required 1873 eggs set for every Leg
horn chick Matched.
2. The cost Of Matching these eggs
at 81 cents per chick, which, when
added to the cost of eggs, increased
the total cost of chick when Matched
to 81 cents.
3. Based on the first IL weeks of
life, 1t took $50 pounds of grain and
mash, and 5O7 pounds of milk, cost
Ing 14.34 cents, to feed Leghorn
chick.
4. During the same time, 1t took
$50 pounds Of grain and mash and
BAL pounds Of milk, costing "a cents
to produce one pound of gain.
s. When figuring cost OF feed, fuel
labor and litter, the whole cost of one
pound Of gain was 1874 cents.

Of the reasons why the style Is so

Lived IN Cellars Two Years.

Between 1000 and 5000 Of the in.
habitants of Lens, which is in the oc-
cupied territory of France, remained
there and lived in their cellars for
more than two years, says Ellie Reu
maux, manager of the coal mines there,
who recently arrived in Paris. The
former population of Lens was 10000
All the cellars in the town, M. Reumau1
says, have been armored with ce.
ment by the Germans, SO that they con.
stitute so many little fortresses. The
entire civilian population Is obliged to
work at road mending and railroad
building, according to M. Reumaux
The coal mines of Lens, which are
among the most important of the re
gion of the Pas de Calais and produced
20,0OO,00O tons year before the war
have been idle since the invasion and
have suffered immense damage, says
M. Reumaux.

6. The average Leghorn pulet,l
twenty-four weeks old and ready to,
lay. weighed 2.75 pounds.
Z. The feed was by far the most
expensive item In the cost of rearing
chicks.
8. On the basis of hundred chicks
Matched and a II per cent mortality
the per cent of pullets was 4O.1 and
the per cent Of cockerels 42.9 per
cent.
8. The time Of Matching greatly In
fluences the rate OF growth Of the
chicks. the price Of broilers, the net
cost Of growing, and the weight Of
pullets at laying age. Early Matching
paid best.
10. Early cockerels were sold at a
profit. May-hatched broilers sold at a
loss.
IL. The gross average cost Of pull
let was 43.4 cents. This, less profits
In cockerels, made the net cost 38.1
cents.
IL. Mortality varied and Influenced
the final cost. The average mortality
of 800 chicks was II per cent.
10. For every pullet reared. 1t re-
qulred the setting of 4.57 eggs.
IA. Cockerels grow more rapidly
than pullets.

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Droppings Should Be Removed at Least
Twice Every Week--Aim to
Prevent Dampness.

The poultry house should be kept as
clean as the dairy barn. The droppings
should be removed at least twice
week. Many regular poultrymen make
1t practice to remove the droppings
daily, but If the poultryman would go
through the house each morning and
sprinkle dry garden soil, or finely stiff
ed coal ashes over the droppings void
ed during the night, daily cleaning
need not be practiced. The soil or
ashes will take up the liquid portions
Of the droppings, keep down odors
pud prevent dampness In the house.

FEEDING DRY MASH TO HENS.
Ground Grain Should Be Available
for Layers at All Times-Feed
Is Easily Digested.

Dry mash, consisting Of ground
grain, should be available for free ac-
cess for the laying hen at all times.
She will eat at least one-half as much
mash by weight as grain, If 1t is
placed where she can help herself
whenever she wants it. There Is a
decided advantage in feeding dry mash
In addition to the regular morning and
night grain feed. The mash is ground
feeds and, therefore, is more readily
dlgested and assimilated by the hen.
An occasional feeding at noon Of the
same dry mash mixed with milk and
fed In troughs of sufficient length for
all birds to eat at once will do a great
deal toward increasing egg production.
What the hen likes Is variety. At this
feeding the table scraps and boiled
vegetables may be mixed In. A small
amount of red pepper added to the
wet mash will do no harm as stimu-
liant.

After Il ral..>. .vnS period OF ~
tirement the lace jabot has returned
from the realm of forgotten finery. 1t
made a quiet and almost unheralded
entry a few weeks ago and Immediate
'ly achieved a decisive hit with thou
sands of devotees of uncovered threats.
Today it is the darling of fashion.
The 'stock" jabot with high. stock
collar and falling flounce or cascade
of net-top lace, has reached the pin
nacle of success and brought all of its
kindred into the limelight.
Not having worn jabots for so long,
we appreciate just how enchanting
they are, but are hardly prepared for
the extravagantly high prices that are
asked for even the simpler styles. From
two to FIVE dollars is demanded for
well-made jabots of fine net or good
net-top laces. The cheaper nets and
laces appear to lose their sheerness
and to thicken up with washing. When
this happens theirs charm is gone.
1t is not the price of lace but the
price of labor that places jabots In
the class of expensive Injuries. Won

The style of couture that is most
widely popular is shown In one Of its
several developments in the accom-

of the Bobby" style which Mrs. Yer

Will

The will had been read, and the dis
appointed nephew and niece, who had
received much smaller legacies than
they expected, rose to take their de-
parture, each trying to assume a de-
cent air of friendliness to Richard
and Esther Stone, the more fortunate
heirs, but inwardly raging at the in
Justice of Uncle Charles, the testator.
Charles Bassett had not been pos
sessed of a large fortune to leave,
The home where he died had for sew
eral years been occupied by his niece
Esther, and her husband Richard
Stone, his board being considered an
equivalent for rent. Richard earned a
small salary as bOokkeeper, and
they had not been able to save much.
He was steady and reliable, but with
the small confidence In himself, and
the lack OF initiative which keeps a
man travelling In rut to the end OF
his days. He. as well as Esther had
had high hopes once Of getting on In
the world, but they were now both over
forty, and their financial progress was
scarcely perceptible. They had set
tied down to the conviction that any
greater degree Of prosperity was not
for them. their very attitude Of mind
helping to keep them there. But II
they were ignorant of this, they were
to be pitfed rather than blamed; such
a large share Of humanity are in the
same boat
for Uncle Charles Bassett, and had
cared for him in his last illness, and
certainly had some right to hope he
might leave them the house. It was q
two-story brick building, in good re
pair, and with pretty grounds in ono
Of the best neighborhoods of the small
western town.
The will gave them this house an6
all furniture that had belonged tt

neral expenses, to be divided equally
between the other two heirs. This
amounted to only about fifteen hun
dred dollars apiece, and was deposited
In a city bank.

old mans fortune. The lawyer who
had drawn up the will some five year.

Melvin Bassett, the nephew, was for

reasoned. "And the most of that
would go to the lawyers, so we
wouldn't be much better off, after ALL"
Bassett saw the logic of this state
ment, though neither of them were pos
sessed of much, they being poorer If
anything than the Stones, and the mon
ely looked large to them.
Esther Stone wondered also about
this other will. She had not had any
knowledge of it, and she knew her
