1T is likely that the House OF Represent

1T is likely that the House OF Represent
aiives will vote next week on The resolu-
lion to submit to the States the national
prohibition amendment. This resolution
has already passed the Senate. and on
Monday was reported from the judiciary
committee of the House with favorable
recommendation. The friends OF prohibit
lion believe that there will be enough
votes in the House TO pass it, as the
sentiment in its favor is stronger than
ever before.
The resolution ought to pass. Moral
and economic considerations have never
called so loudly for the abolition OF the
liquor traffic. and the sentiment OF the
country is against the business. II Con-
gress does its duty, as we believe il will,
there will be a tremendous stimulation OF
real patriotism.
We take it for granted that every
Member of Congress from West Virginia
will vote for the resolution IN the House.

PIGEONS FOR PROFIT
u
Unless Houses Are Comfortably Warm
1t is Not Wise TO Grow Squads :
in Cold Weather.

1t is not best to attempt to grow
squads during the colder months unless
your houses are warm enough to pre-
vent the freezing of the eggs, or the
young after being hatched.
When the young are hatched during
the cold months they are very likely to
become chilled when the parent bird
leaves them for food. Once they are
chilled through, they are quite likely
not to seek food supply, and, chilled
through, they are lost product which
cannot be regained or replaced.

against these beautiful birds while, as
a matter of fact, it is far less work to

been allowed to accumulate two or

LOOK FOR RUNNING NOSES
Colds Usually Caused by Poor VentiIa-
ton, OvercroWding and Drafts
Good Cure Given.

Do your chickens have running
noses? Look at the flock as they eat
and note whether the nostrils are
clogged with dirt or show a Shiny
ooze. If they do, and if the under side
of the wing is soiled, you may know
that the birds have taken q slight cold,
end conditions need changing.
Sometimes these colds come from
poor ventilation; sometimes from over
crOWding and piiing up; sometimes
from drafts. Whatever is the cause,
these running noses must be cleaned
up and the cause removed, or there
will be constant trouble with roup
and roupy colds.
