these directions to enable the poultry
producer to meet the critical was con-
ditions, without financial loss while
doing his part in furnishing the
worlds supply Of food.
The one single factor Of greatest
Importance in reducing the cost OF
pl oduction is to improve the produce

accomplished, Pennsylvania State Col
Iege authorities declare. as follows:
dispose 81 all diseased birds and poor

Vigorous stock; ~ the late moulters

eggs; G3) hens that have bright eyes,
strong sturdy legs set we'll apart,

deep full abdomen w~ell-rounded

EggIaying capacity may be meas

the breast or keel bone the greater the

Vi when the outlook was darker for
the person who does not know the
poultry business to stay in it. The
only solution of the poultryman's
problem of meeting the war situation
is to secure a satisfactory egg yield
in order to reap the advantage Of high
egg prices. The most important fac
tor in securing high-egg yield is good

THE KAIsER's DREAM.


There is a story, though strange It
may seem,
or the great Kaiser Bill and his
wonderful dream,
Being wearied by Allies he lay down
in his bed,
And among other things he dreamed
he was dead
And in fine coffin lying In state,
With crowd of brave Belgians
mourning his fate.
He was not long dead when he found,
to his cost,
His soul, like his soldiers, would
soon be lost.
On leaving this earth, to heaven he
went,
And arriving up there gave a knock
on the gate,
st. Peter looked out and exclaimed
loud and clear:
Try down below Bill, You can't get
In here
Now" said the kaiser, 81 call that
unciviI,
But . welcome I'll get from my old
friend, the Devil"
So he turned on his heel and away
he did go
At the top OF his speed to the region
below.
But when he arrived he was filled
with dismay,
For while waiting outside he heard
old Nick say.
See here all you imps, give you
fair warning
I'm expecting the kaiser down here
this morning,
But don't let him in, for to me tits
quite clear
He's after my Job and we don't
want him here
II once he gets in there1l be no end
20 Quarrels;
In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt all
our morals"
All right, my dear friend" the kais-
er cried,
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
II Won don't let me in, then where
shall / go?''
Indeed" said the devil. I'm id
Ii know"
"Oh do let me in for I'm feeling
quite cold,
And IL you want money, I've plenty
OF gold.
Let me sit In corner, no matter
how hot"
mo, no. yelled the devil. most
certainly mott
We don't allow folks here FOR riches
and pelf:
Here's sulphur and matches make
hell for yourself. !"
And he kicked him out and vanished
In smoke.
And just at that moment the kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out OF bed in shiyering
sweat,
And said. That's dream | shan't
soon forget.
That / won't go to heaven / know
very well,
But It's really too bod TO be kicked
out Of He'll. Capital News.

ers about chain letter collection
scheme soliciting small amounts to
purchase anaesthetics for hospitals
Of the Allies, and asking that remit

reply we would say
Il That all chain letter schemes
using the U. s. mails are looked up
on with disapproval and suspicion
by the Postal and other Federal au,
thorities, because such schemes have
80 frequently proven fraudulent.
-. Specifically referring to the
scheme about which you ask, we are
informed that this chain letter was
started about a year and q half age
by two ladies Of this city in their in.
dividual capacities, who, without
doubt, were actuated by the very
highest motives, but in it's genera
