Ave All Breeds

But high grain prices are not all with which the pouhryman has to contend; with the advent of warmer weather which is sure to come shortly insect pests will become troublesome. Of all these the red mite is probably the worst. They can mobilize faster than any army. They can however be conquered, but the chicken man must assume the offensive. He ought to use carbolineum or crude carbolic acid around the roosts before the mites get a chance to entrench.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

How 1t Is Down in the South.

Down in North Carolina in the hill
country Spear & Co.'s catalogue is
the guide, preceptor and authority on
all subjects. A certain North Caro-
lima Justice Of Peace opened his
court one morning ith three negro
prisoners before the bar. He sat
down behind pine top table, tilted
back his hickory chair, expectorated
in a nail keg and ;'e>-~,ed ; the audi

ceed.
Calling the prisoner o the front he
reached up to an old shelf behind, and
took down his copy of Spears cata-
logue, and placed it before him.
Calling the first prisoner he de-
manded his offense. The evidence be-
ing strong, the negro admitted "he
stole the chickens" The magistrate
opened up tn catalogue, advising that
he would now consult the law and the
statutes.
"How old are you niggah?" said
he. Else twenty-two,' replied the
prisoner.
The Judge commenced turning the
pages until he had turned twenty-five,
when he stopped and on the page
before him was listed a sewing ma
chine at sixteen dollars. This is a
serious offense," said the Judge, "the
prisoner is guilty and I fine him SIG
and sixteen days in Jail, call the next
case" The second negro admitted
he'd been caught in a game of craps,
but he wouldn't "do it no mo-" How
old is you niggah?" said the judge,
opening the catalogue at new place,

pages the judge spread the book be-

up for selling moonshine whiskey and
had been Caught with the goods"
The Judge heard the evidence pro
and con, and then demanded the ne
gro's age. "Jes come fohty-two,

again from the newly opened cata-
logue, the judge counted slowly until
he had reached forty-one, the prisoner
anxiously watching him and the book

PLEASED WITH YEARS WORK
Kaiser Addresses Men of Army and
Navy.

Berlin. Dec. 81 (via London) .-Em-
perior William has issued the follow
ing order addressed to the army and
navy:
Again a year of war lies behind
u.s., with hard fighting and sacrifices,
rich in successes and victories. The
hopes which our enemies put in 1916
have been foiled. All their assaults,
east and west, have collapsed owing
to your bravery and devotion.
Our recent triumphal march
through Romania has by divine
providence again added imperishabe
laurels to your banners. The great
est naval battle this year was our vic
tory, in the Skagerack and the Gallant
deeds of our submarines have secured
for my navy glory and admiration
forever.
- ia are victorious in al, theatres
of war on land and sea. A grateful
fa;k:lland looks to you with uashak-
able confidence and proud reliance.
!hc Incompatible warlike spirit alive
IN your ranks, your tenacity, your
never slackening will to vanquish =;
your love of the fatherland are to me
a guarantee that in the new year also
victory will remain WITH our banners.
God also in the future will be with
U.S."

should be as thoroughly prepared for
war as the army and navy. Cotton
is very largely used in the manufac,.
ture of high explosives and to clothe;
the armies in the field as we'll as the
people of the whole country. If>the
cotton yield were to suffer through
lack of nitrogen for fertilizers, it
would have a very damaging effect on
the general efficiency of the country,
either during time of peace or of
war. The committee and the board
of directors of the chamber of com
merce feel that. with cheaper nitrates
supplied to the farmers Of the country,
the agricultural yields will 60 up by
leaps and bounds, and that much land
which it is impracticaDie to cultivate
prrotitably at present, because of lack
OF nitrogen, can be brought under
successful cultivation. 1t is estimate :.
that it will be possible to supply lime
nitrate to farmers for less than $40
ton, while nitrate of soda is now
selling for more than $50 per ton"
Columbia will make a determined
effort, with the backing of the entire
state. Senator E. D. Smith has been
invited to attend the meeting tomor-
row night. 0-.

A Forecast of the New Styles in Dry
E,Sg Goods.

-. r'
The coming season is going to be
precedence over almost all other ma
stripes in combinations with plain
goods for suits and dresses, the loud
er the stripe or plaid and the more
colors combined, the higher the favor
in which it will be held.
For dresses and waists, voile will
be the best selection. Plain, printed
woven and embroidered voiles. All
white or fancy stripe and plaid voiles.
Polka dots of enormous size will be
a craze. Some combining as many as
four different colors.
The separate skirt is to enjoy un-
usual popularity. Materials for these
are gabardines in pain and fancy
woven effects; all white, white with
hair line in colors; white large woven
polka dots, and white with enormous
bias plaids in different shades. Bed
ford cords in colors and white will be
much used, also Palm Beach skirting
in white with every known color
stripe.
Washable silks in sport stripes will
be among the popular things used,
These come also in the plain effects,
which may be used in connection with
the stripes.
In the more fancy goods for dresses
are the silk stripe voiles in large
flowered effects and very decided
plaids. Silk Marquisettes both plain
and printed in stripe5 or dresden fig
ures; organdies in both white and col
ors; woven striped, voiles with en-
broidered designs IN colors; fine ma
dras and flaxons in both woven an,.
printed effects.
The colors to be most used aside
from the staple colors of the past
season are, wonderful French grey,
Maise Coral, new rose, lavender and
Limoges.
