Scientist Has Discovered How To

A study of the theory that late lay.
ers are late molters and that late
molters mott rapidly, has been found
to be true whether the hens we're in
their first, second, third or fourth year
of production. o. b. Kent, in scien-
tiRc journal devoted to poultry investi'
cations, makes this announcement, .,..
In an extensive series of observations
Kent found that no birds that were
pnly half through their mott as late as
the first of October were heavy produc.
srs. Only a very small percentage Of
late molters were low producers.
Contrary to popular opinion he found
that late molters mott more rapidly
than early molters and start laying
again sooner than the early moltors,
The medium molters begin to lay slight
~ ahead of either the late or early
molters. 't .',..N f1 .#,H"
These observations are of value to
breeders who wish to build up a flock
Of hens that will lay during the early
winter months when eggs are scarce and
prices high. In building up such q
strain the place for the early molters

Mr.. Haughs said in his report:
"The schools of the Territory came

the school grounds are now well stock,

tree planting. The total number of
trees applied for by schools amounted
to 1857. Homesteaders ON all of the
islands drew heavily on our stock. Tae
trees mostly wanted by them consisted
of Eucalyptus robusta, ironwoods and
Erevilleas. The amount. of trees sup

BE BACK OF MOVEMENT
Department Officials See Hand
writing On Wall and Trem-
Bile For Their Jobs
BY ERNEST q. WALKER
Mail Special to The Advertiser)

WASHINGTON, December 15I-A
quiet but ruthless policy of wedding
out officials is plainly under way at
Washington. This does not mean that
everyone whose name IS linked With
resignation Tumors is incompetent OF
unsatisfactory, but il does mean that
quite a percentage Of them are. Back
Of IL all is some moving force, presum
ably the President himself Certain
heads may be instigating
things somewhat on their own initia-
tive. Nevertheless IL looks as though
the process eomported with a general
administration policy
As n complete proposition President
Wilson has brought tolerably efficient
force Of high officials to Washington.
Possibly there has been little more
industry and application in these places
chan in the previous years But 1t is
inevitable there should be some slack.
crs and some incompetents in such q
considerable coterie. The ADMINISTERS.
ton idea appears to be that each de-.
partment shall be fully manned witt
capable officials who can meet exigen,
eies and also get good results.
Bungling Inexcusable
One example of the wedding out pro,
cess, now under way nearly three
months before the close of the admin
stration, has to do with a certain as
sistnnt secretary. He has been good
Democrat for many years and kept tho
faith during q long period when his
oarty wandered in the wilderness. His
appointment was reward for fidel;
.ty. He has done the best he could
probably. and has performed some ser
ice in eliminating deadwOod from the
personnel of this particular department
The assistant secretary in question wat
detailed some months ago on an officia,
srrand southward and bungled 1t bad
". He has not attained the success IN
lis assistant 'seefetafyship that he
Jhould have and the upshot of the dis
,atisfaetion was that a few weeks age
reports Of his resignation began to cir
iulate. The encunIbent did not star
them, suffice it to say, but he quickly
saw the drift of>things and is making
ready to quit. ..
Slackers Wising Up t..
| "a considerable official force at Wash
ngton is wise" TO examples like that
lbove ana fear, is in their hearts. Foi
the majority of these higher officials
want TO serve on through another fou
| years. Probably most of them will hav'
he oppOrt unity, The tendency in Off
ial life here, of course Is to grow ia
nd lazy. Any party, long in contro
T the federal government, has tina
actor to contend with. But presiden
wilson is hipping il in the bud anC
eeking to keep up the efficiency aver
i &c. One Of his earliest pronounce
nents after his reelection was with re
'crencc to diplomats, all of whom mus
esign and some of whom will not b
eappointed. The President has tOlC
| lis friends that he wants men in tn
public service who grow, not those VIII
well up, and he is apparently goinI
o have NOR" growth during. his secon,
