HOW TO SELECT LAYING HENS

Every farmer and poultry raiser should
make IT a point TO closely Gull his flock
IN the fall Of each year. ID i often posi-
Bile TO discard a third of the number. or
more, thus reducing feed bills without no
ticeably affecting egg yields. The fol-
lowing proven facts should enable anyone
to detect the best layers:
l. Hens that mott late. and quickly.
are the best layers. BY this j. meant hens
moiting during the latter part of Septem-
Der, October and November are better Law
ers than those molting earlier. II i. poo.

40 n: begin To molt until November.
= individual hens with pale colored
shanks, in such breeds a, the Rock.
Wyandottes, Reds and Leghorns, are con.
sldered better layers than those with
bright and yellow shanks. Thi, indication
i true only when applied in the fall 81
the year, and among breeds with yellow
shanks.
.. The above principle applies also IL
the color Of ear lobes in breeds with WEI,
low, creamy or white lobes. The MANY VA
rieties of Leghons can be- divided bv I'm.
indication. The Rocks, Wvandott,s and
other American, Asiatic and English
breeds have red ear lobes. hence this in
dication for these breeds j. valueless. Ex-
perience has shown that Leghorn varie-
ties with white ear lobes in the fall are
better layers than those with yellow ar
creamy colored ear lobes.
!. A constiutionally strong bird. one
that passes through the mott quickly and
easily, = q better layer than one that
develops all kinds of ailment, during This
period.
D. Hens that show the least BROOD
ness are better layers than those that are
broody a large part OF the time.
D. A bird with closely worn toen,;I. \.
considered a better layer than one with
long nails.
{. A hen that goes into the mott with

GATES OF REFORM J. :
SCHOOL OPEN FOR
YOUNG LOCAL Girl

A Dickinson girl named Andor is
now an inmate of the Mandan reform
atory, and her companion, Eva Hoff-
man, also of this city, has received
orders not to return here, under pain
of receiving a similar sentence. The
girls decamped from here early in the
week, and were picked up by the
sheriff at Mandan Tuesday. Walter
Sterland, representing Stark county,
went to Mandan Thursday to investi-
gate the case, and then the girl was
committed to the reform school. The
Andor and Hoffman girls are said to
have been in trouble on previous oc-
casions, and the former was COM
mitted to the reformatory some time
ago. Her mother, however, agreed to
try to keep her in the straight and
narrow path, but bad companions soon
caused her downfall again.
The Hoffman girl has, it is alleged,
figured in a number of hairbreadth
escapades, having made several jaunts
of dubious propriety. from this city in
recent months.

DID NOT LOSE CONTROL,
IS DAHLKE'S ASSERTION

Richard Dahlke, Dunn county farm
er, who drove the Dodge car which
turned turtle near the Dickinson ceme-
terry on Sunday, June 16, resulting in
death of his 6-year-old daughter,
Helen, declares the statement untrue
that he lost control of his car at
time of the accident. Mr.. Dahlke de-
clares that he was not entirely to
blame in the accident, as he asserts
that the driver of the Hudson Super
Six, which was nearby when the
crash occurred, did not stay on the
east trail, as he should have done,
but crowded to his right, and partially
forced the Dodge into the fence. This
caused the collision with the fence.
bending the axle of the machine, and
causing it to turn turtle when the
driver swerved it back into the road
Mr.. Dahlke believes it unfair to
place the entire burden of the ac'
cident on him, when he declares he
is not wholly to blame.

FREE FARE FOR HARVEST
LABORERS is APPEAL OF
COMMISSIONER OF LABOR

Free transportation of harvest help
into North Dakota this season is be-
ing asked from the railroads by John
N. Hagan, state commissioner Of agrl-
culture and labor. Commissioner
Hagan returned from St. Paul this
week, where he had been since Satur-
day, comforting with the heads Of the
passenger departments of the rail-
roads operating in North Dakota, and
his proposition was we'll received by
them.
Commissioner Hagan believes the
labor situation is a serious one for
the farmers of the state at this
season and that it is up to the rail-
roads to do what they can to relieve
it. every year thousands of farm
hands come into the state at harvest
time riding on the tops and rods OF
freight trains, the railroad officials
winking at it, knowing they will earn
a fare when these men return from
the state in the fall" said Mr.. Hagan.
"It seems to me that we can just as
we'll let these men ride inside a pas
senger coach.
"We have got to have this class of
labor if we are going to take care
of the crops"

STATE TO Be BONE
DRY, SAYS LANCER

North Dakota passed into the bone
dry column, beginning last Sunday,
July 1, and, according to advices from
Attorney General Langer,. the law
will be strictly enforced, and offend
ers punished to the i: full extent of
the law. A letter received by Sheriff
T. N. Hartung from the attorney gen.
eral follows, being in effect the
answer submitted to Sheriff Craig of
Ransom county, who asked for an
opinion, as to the working of the law
l have your request for an opinion
relative to the bone-dry law. 1t, is
my interpretation that a person will
not be able to bring: liquor into the
state, no matter whether he attempts
to bring it by machine, wagon, auto
or in any other manner. Neither will
one be allowed to bring it in a grip
or on his hip. The only way liquor
can be shipped into North Dakota is
by consignment to a registered
pharmacist, and then only for one of
four purposes allowed by law, viz:
For medical, mechanical, scientific or
sacramental use.

OF LOCAL SCHOOL
IS WORK OF MERIT

First annual ever issued by the
Dickinson high school will be off the
press within a short time, the work
being done by the Press force. 1t is
publication of which the students
and citizens of Dickinson in general
may we'll be proud. Success of the
undertaking is due in large part to
work of the members of the junior
class. The annual consists of 68
pages, without cover. Name chosen
is The Coyote and a splendid sketch
of this animal embellishes the cover,
George Tillquist, art editor, being the
designer. .:...,.,,

fifty local business houses. Number
of books issued will be $50 and they

Our Border Boys, and Sir Roger Con-
demns Pompadours. The high school
picnic is described with clever play

article on Dissecting the Head of
Junior. Dramatization Of story and
translation into German is another
feature, as is My Aunt's Heiress. De-
partments include drama, social, jokes
and want ads. The class song is Civ

PRESS COMMITTEE
TO AID EFFICIENCY
BODY IN CAMPAIGN

Appointment of a press committee
by President j. H. Worst of the state
efficiency commission has been made,
for the purpose of boosting through
newspaper publicity the various pro-
jects to be undertaken by the eff
cheney body, this including the labor
survey, securing of statistics as to
horses, for sale and needed, amount
of grain and rough feed available,
and other Investigations, aimed at
aiding in preparation, largely, for
proper harvesting of crops through
out the commonwealth.
Appointments are as follows:
w. F. McCafferty, New Rockford
State Center; Lee Richardson, United
Press, Fargo; Louis LaCoss, Associat-
ed Press, Fargo; Herbert CASTOR,
Fargo Courier-News; E. L. Peterson,
Dickinson Press; G. S. Price, Bis
marck Tribune; J. H. Bloom, Devils
Lake Daily Journal; p. V. Quimby,
Jamestown Daily Alert; Tom Parker
Junkin, Grand Forks Herald; George
Davis, Minot Daily News.
Matters concerning the undertaking
of the commission will be set before
the public in readable articles, and it
is desired that the public aid the
committee in every way possible by
bringing to its attention needs of
the different communities and assist
ing in every other way possible.
1t is hoped that but few of the
counties will need outside help for
harvest labor, as it is believed there
will be many volunteers within the
borders of every county for harvest
work this fall. However, purpose of
the survey is to find out just what
counties will require outside help, and
all readers may help by keeping us
informed of their needs and the
known needs of others. The press
committee will cooperate to the full
est extent with the commission and
asks that the public aid in every
manner possible, in turn, to keep the
committee informed.
