Poultry Plant Cheaply Started.

The expense needed in starting a
small but practical poultry plant is
not necessarily large, the poster states,
and much garden and table waste can
be used to supplement the ration for
the flock. By marketing or eating the

new brood from the better stock at

He built a silo the first, third, and
fourth years, and is building another
this year. He has a u "footer," one
16 foot, and will erect another IA feet
in height.
Have a Small Silo Too.
He believes that a small silo in sum-
mer is necessary, because it is easier
to take out the silage fast enough to
keep 1t from spelling in hot weather.
He prefers one II and one 16-foot silo
to one big silo. Although the cost is
higher, it is overbalanced by the small
er loss of feed.
AS to materials, he said, 81 would
not try to build frost-resisting silos.
The thin-walled silo may freeze soon
err, but it also thaws out quickly. If
there are any dead air spaces, it does
not freeze as quickly, but it does not
thaw out as quickly either. And it is
hard to clean frozen walls"

Do You Dim Your Lights?

Editor Kennebec Journal:
I read in your paper this morning the
article, "Sherifs After Light Law"
printed on the fourth page Now l am
the owner Of a car and as my business
keeps me at home through the day and
until 500 P. NJ, l am obliged to do most
OF my riding at night. Thursday evening
this week 1 took a party of friends and
started for Island Park to enjoy the mu-
sic and watch the dancers. On our way
to Island Park we met at least 50 or Is
other cars land with one exception we
failed to find one that had his lights
dimmed. When nearly half way out on
Western Ave, we met two large cars
with very powerful electric lights, driving
quite fast. l was completely blinded by
the glare and my car left the road, and
in the effort to regain 1t I just escaped
crash with the second car My wife was
very much frightened.
Of course meet some teams that have
no light but as far as I am concerned
have no fear Of them a. my own lights
will pick them up long before l reach
them, but with the headlights on the
large cars there is no chance of escape
except to get out Of the road and stop
until they pass. When the light law
went into effect had my light lens FROST
ed to comply with the law, and it is no
trouble in driving as it throws the light
down on the road where it belongs and
protects the fellow that is meeting me on
the road hope the sheriffs will enforce
both sides Of the law in regard to lights.

Editors Letter Box
Open Letter to State Highway Com
mission.

Gentlemen:
The lima bitants of Oakland were
very much pleased to know that they
were to have State road from
Waterville to Oakland, but there are
certain conditions that are a little
annoying. on account OF route and ex-
pense attending it.
The State commissioners have con-
tracted for State road from the foot
Of Silver street at the so-called En-
erson Bridge in Waterville, to the So
called Dunn Bridge in Oakland. For
the Oakland end of the State road, the
contract was awarded to Small & In
gals. and the route was to be in the
highway, all the way, and no indica-
ton was made by word or act, that
any other route was to be contemplate
ed. But after Small & ingalls, had
commenced operations, they were in
formed that the route was to be
changed to a detour around Swans
Hill. This detour commences at the
foot Of Swans Hill, on the north side.
and takes an irregular course. The
distance is longer and the expense
would approximate s2025 more. and
when the road energies into the high
way on the other side of Swans Hill,
less than ten feet in grade have been
gained. Also, this arrangement gives
the town of Oakland two roads to
maintain, instead of one.
Now what the people of Oakland
would like, would be, if necessary to
use one quarter or one-half of this
extra expense of the detour, to ex-
cavate Swans Hill quitting the ma
terial into the ravine near the Sam
Mosher place.. thus leaving the short
er route as originally contracted fo:,
and getting a better grade.
We all know that in the springtime
Swans Hill is very hard to take care
Of; but with the State road method
ali the trouble from springs. water,
etc, would be obviated, and we would
have a splendid road from Dunn's
| Bridge to the Waterville line, meeting
The Waterville state road.
What the people Of Oakland think at
this time is that the commissioners
may not understand all the conditions
here today, and we take this method
Of informing them. and would be very
grateful if the Commissioners would
be governed by the wishes Of the citi-
zens Of Oakland,
Very respectfully.

Gov. Mccall of Massachusetts,, pro-
testing against the increase in the
draft quota from his State. makes the
suggestive comment that the new ap-
portionment. which is supposedly based
upon the registration, penalties states
where registration was complete and
thorough in comparison with states
where registration was incomplete. "'
The latter states are all in the South
yet we do not hear of any widespread
activity among federal authorities
down there in seeking out and punish
ing slackers. Whereas, in the North
ern states where, as Gov. Mccall says.
the registration was complete and
thorough, the prosecuting officers and
the courts have been busy rounding UP
and dealing with those who did not
register. In this view Of the situation
i: is far more serious than a sectional
injustice-to which the North has be-
come somewhat accustomed through
Democratic taxation. 1t involves an
official negligence. II not connivance.
which is vital to the equities.
