Thomas as some other federal judge to be natura1ized citizens of the United States.
 Before one can be naturalized, residence of five years in this coun- try is necessary, but regardless of the length of residence in this country, one cannot be naturalized inside of two years from the time the declara- tion, Of intention is made. While the two years, after the declaration of intention are accruing, the status of the one declaring the intention to be- come citizen of this country is not changed and he continues a subject of his home government as before.
 Consequently in the event of the declaration of war subjects of Charles Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary. in so far as their status in this country is concerned will be in, the alien enemy class.

On the Wire.

The president of one of the large
corporations in New York, whose bust
ness is measured in hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars annually, has not
the temper of the angels. The en-
ployees, from the vice to the office
boy, stand in holy dread Of him.
There came one day new tele-
phone operator. The president want
ed to talk to someone in Washington,
and wanted him quick. He "gOt his
party" and was laundering away,
when squ-a-w-k-k-k! Ping! S-s-s-tt
and the connection was dished. The
president was near to exploding, when
competent little voice came up from
the switchboard:
"Well. guess I'm the little girl
who put the mess in the message, amt
1? You just look out of the window,
and I'll fix it in ten seconds"
And she did. And he did. And the
little operator moved up ahead of
the vice IN office estimation, and is still
at her switchboard.

Frost Does Not Turn Leaves.

Many people are under the impress
sion that the leaves Of the trees and
creepers turn red or yellow or purple
or brown under the action of frost
but the truth Is that frost has moth
ing to do with the change. The leaves
in September and October begin to
change long before we have frost. 1t
is merely the ripening Of the leaves,
just as an apple reddens when II In
ripe. Leaves are green In spring and
summer because they have in their
cells substances called chlorophyll.
which Is made green by the action Of
the sunlight. The green Is of a pale
shade in early spring because the
chlorophyll is not fully formed. When
the substance is fully formed the
green turns darker. Toward the end
of summer the chlorophyll begins to
decay, and then because It is not SUI
piled as 1t Is early In the aeason the
leaves change color or ripen.

POULTRY POINTERS ]

To get the most out of poultry we
must put something into the business
feed, care, and a lot more of self.
Feed evenly and regularly, not
feast today and a famine tomorrow.
Feed the pullets not only for eggs
but for growth. They ought to keep
on growing for some time yet.
There may yet be days when road
dust can be gathered. Don't get so
busy at something else that you neg
lect this important piece of work.
1t takes coaxing to get fowls to eat
food they are not accustomed to.
Keep box Of dry bran where the
hens can have access to It,
When pullets start, they usually lay
eggs irregularly for while.
Bowel trouble is often suspected
with turkeys when it is nothing but
worms.
Mature guineas taken to strange
place are very apt to stray off.
Every farm should have few geese
on it.
With poultry it is better to have
quality than quantity, If we cannot
have both.
1t is not impossible to get winter
eggs. What one has done another can
do.
LeghOrns are delicately adjusted ma
chimes, and it does not take much to
upset them.
Roup, and many other poultry trou-
bles, are infectious. Don't forget to
wash the hands well after handling
sick fowls.
Some hens are sold too soon, and
many, on some farms are kept too long

OlIveIess DAYS.

British Consul Nugent said at a
banquet in Chicago:
''They tell good story about a
Greek army corps that surrendered to
the Germans and was taken into food
stripped Germany to be the guest of
the nation.
'At Chemnitz, the story runs, COM
mittee of famished Greek soldiers
waited on the German commandment
and said:
"'They told US that here in Chem
nitz, commandant, the government
would at least give us some rations.
"'Yes, and that's right, too said
the German commandant genially. as
he took huge packet Of cards from
his desk. Here are your Greek ra-
ton cards specially got up by us for
our revered Greek guests. They entitle
every Greek soldier to six olives day
five days per week. and, furthermore,
on the two "oliveless days." they en-
title each and every one Of you to a
cracker and a half-pint Of coffee sub
stitute.'"

"a n YHEN the picturesque opera
AN/ bouffe kingdom of Hawaii
succumbed to the law of
destiny in 1893, when the
reigning queen was deposed and u re-
public set up, and five years later
when the republic became territory
of the United States of America, the
romance of the old-time government
disappeared with the furling of the
beautiful Hawaiian flag. But the old,
moonlit nights still remain; the same
Incompatible climate still enthralls,
and the tinkle and the strum Of the
ukulele and guitar are heard beneath
the coconut palms as the native Ha-
waiians sob their ear-haunting melO-
dies, writes special correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor from
Honolulu.
No longer is the old palace filled
with diplomatists of foreign stations;
distinguished generals, admirals, writ
ers and playfolk are no longer re-
ceived in the old throne room by a
Hawaiian king and queen. OF all the
old regime, there still remains only
the deposed queen, Liliuokalani, liv-
ing a still eventful life in Washington
place, the home of her husband, the
prince consort a home filled with rel
les of the days Of royalty; reminders
of the days when King Kalakaua was
the monarch, and she queen herself,
during a brief reign of two years.
Today, however, the queen is hon
ored in Washington place and else
where as if she sat upon the throne of
! old Hawaii. On Hawaiian holidays, on
her birthday and many other 'occa-
sions, she receives in semiroyal state
| the guests are ushered into her draw
ing room by the same officers who Off
| ciated when she was in the palace

same courteous gentleman who offici-
ated as chamberlain during her reign

graphically, its society otherwise Is in

ceive, and its representatives are at

French Game LAVE Suspended.

great damage to crops.
Hares, pheasants and wild ducks
hive been the chief offenders. and
these are being killed in great num-
hers, thus not only saving growing
vegetation, but furnishing food for
the people.

ilege was extended to everybody In all
