Has Signed willard

New York, Feb. l0.-Grant Hugh
Browne S announcement that he had
signed jess Willard and Fred Fulton to
ten round bout in New York, March
26 is being taken here today with a
grain of salt.
Frank Force, manager of Fulton, de-
clared he had not signed articles, but
was willing. Jack Curley, one of Viii
lard s managers, is associated with
Browne and probably would agree to
a match, but it is not believed terms
have been reached.
The near death of the Frawley law,
however, has stirred promoters in New
York to such action that match be-
tween Willard and Fulton probably will
be arranged.

Acute Situation
In Flour Market

1N HE fact that the United States
y has only five-months' supply
of wheat breadstuff makes an acute
situation in the flour market, but for
tunately the record breaking corn
crop and per crops of Irish and
swee. potatoes this year, to say
nothing of cotton seed flour, will pro-
vide abundant substitutes for wheat.
There must be more wheatless days
in the homes, as we'll as in public eat
ing places. The corn bread habit must
grow, and as for bread made of
the cotton seed product mixed with
wheat flour, in the proportion Of
one-third of the former and two-thirds
of the latter, now very much esteemed
in Texas, the demand for it should
become nationwide.
The government will soon be more
urgent than ever for the conservation
of breadstuffs. There will be ample
corn meal to feed the country, but
there must be no waste.

what might be called his directed health.
Now about 80 per cent of all soldiers de-
clare that their health efficiency is in
creased by the use of tobacco. The COM
fort it gives their nerves is amazingly
greater than any loss of lung power
which ordinary smoking entails. When
soldier returns from a raiding expedi-
ton he is usually given thimbleful Of
rum, because when he lies down to 'est
in mud and water he is too cold and tired
to sleep unless he can establish interior
radiation. He does not think the rum
is good in itself. When he comes home
he is perfectly content with the regu-
lation which denies liquor to any man in
uniform. More: He asks for no rum
and is given none when he sets out over
the top, because that is just when he
does not need it. The exercise and ex-
element are warming enough.
But if the upkeep of his efficiency after
| his return demands a warming draught,
how much more does it demand the soda

socks Often he can't get the socks.

would certainly be cries of joy from the

! From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
R0HE husbandry division Of the
United States department of agri-
culture publishes a bulletin in
which it advises backyard poultry keep
ing to cut down the cost of living and
to provide the luxury of fresh eggs.
| A flock of 10 hens, this bulletin states,
should produce in a year 100 dozen eggs,
worth at a conservative value. $25.
Buy pullets well matured rather than
hens" says the bulletin.
How is city buyer to know a well
matured pullet from well rounded hen?
Shall he inquire? To what end? Will
the honest farmer or the commission
merchant give him honest information?
Assurely he will be charged pullet prices.
One case is recorded in which a likely
bunch of young roosters, not yet made
typical by the development of spurs, went
| to a trusting town buyer who rugged up
laying pen only to find that he had made
himself liable to prosecution for the
maintenance of a nuisance in the form of
needless noise.
| For the sake of argument let us sup
pose that the owner of a backyard does
land pullets when he goes fishing for
| fowls with greenbacks for bait, and
that he gets them at 50 each. He is out
$50 for the purchase.

letin-to achieve adequate preparedness

| Feed table scraps and kitchen waste.

| Kill and eat the hens when they be-
gin to mott and cease to lay.
