the Beast given here would lead most
anyone but a pro-German to conclude
that the kaiser was surely meant in
the episode described. The az months
referred to here as the duration of
the unequal conflict during which the
beast would hold the whip hand, is
taken by many to mean that the war
will end Feb. a, 1918. Be this as it
may, more people are concerned just
at present about when the war will be
finished than when the world will end.
All the delving done so far has failed
to produce any satisfactory answer
to this conundrum, but some interest
ing things pertaining to the war have
been found. and published from time
to time. ..
Perhaps quotation from a poetic
prophet who flourished in the 10th
century, Mother Shipton, may be as
true to life as any thus far found.

PHANTOM SIDELIGHTS ON
THE WAR
By Quo Vadis

The world war now raging is, OF
course, the all absorbing theme of the
present generation. Most people view
it from practical standpoint and dis
cuss its immediate effect on their for
tunes and family affairs. However,
quite contingent of the population
in this country seem TO be much in
terested in other phases of the great
struggle and are making every effort
to ascertain the real psychology of the
abnormal situation prevailing. To the
end they are not only searching the
scriptures for everything bearing on
the subject. but are digging into the
archives of profane prophets for en-
lightenment.
As is well known in most any situa-
ton of the character, any conclusion
reached can be proved by quoting
from certain sections Of the bible. At
this time the Adventists, who for time
without end have made forecasting
the exact date when the world will end
a real business, have the advantage,
for they have all the data in the bible
bearing on this subject at their fingers
ends, and of course the big war is a
part of the program, according to their
view, and precedes the ending of the
world by only a short period, If it is
not the grand finale.
However, they are not the only ones
nor the only ones searching
the bible for prophesy on the subject.
Just at present there is great deal
Of interest manifested in what the
Book of Revelations has to say on this
subject, especially the XIII chapter.

for all but the wealthy. And in the
midst of it all the average American
goes right on overlooking the one best
bet in the way of supplying quick
growing, wholesome meat. refer
to poultry and eggs.
The average family, for some rea-
son not wholly clear, would rather
grow flowers in the back yard, which,
granted, are good to look upon, but not
worth cent from food standpoint
or as help to winning the war. Some
families will shiftlessly allow the
back yard to grow up in weeds, which
not only are unsightly, but not good to
eat andreally an absolute menace, ra-
Their than &c to little trouble and the
imaginary humiliation of having
few hens and growing chicks.
There is wasteful tendency to
throw table scraps into the garbage
cans, rather than feed them to a flock
of laying hens in the back yard. The
argument has been raised that pouf--
try consumes good grain that should
be used in making bread, etc. While
chickens, will, of course, cat the best
grade of grains and feed, they do not
demand it, thriving quite as well on
the poorer quality of grains and seeds,
table scraps and meat scraps from the
butcher shops, articles of food that
would otherwise be wasted. The hen
will take these poorer grades of feeds
and tu,.l them into the "queen of the
breakfast foods" the fresh egg.
Fresh eggs are practically sure to
sell for 81 per dozen the coming win
ter. Why? Not especially because
of the high prices of grains, but be-

cause, as in many other cases, we have
left the supply to such limited num-
Der of producers to produce. In other
words, the eaters are away out of pro-
portion to the producers. This should
not be. You can't keep hog in your
back yard, or a steer, or a flock Of
sheep, but you can and should keep a
few hens.
/ Some people may claim that it does
not pay with prices of grain, ETC., as
high as at present. On the u. S. de-
partment Of agriculture farm at Belts
vile, Md, an extensive test covering
an entire year during which time feed
prices were way up, showed that the
cost of feed per dozen eggs produced
by Leghorns averaged about Is cents
and for the larger breeds, or general
purpose fowls, it averaged about II
cents.
Have prices of eggs been low enough
at any time during the year TO admit
of any doubt as to the profitableness
of poultry when authorities like the
U. S. department of agriculture prove
that the cost Of producing a dozen
eggs does not exceed the figures given
above?
So fall in ine-keep as many hens
as your space will allow-help to win
The war-and at the same time help to
put Mr.. ."High Cost of Living" out Of
business. A HOOVERITE.

MANY LOOKING FOR CHANCE ID
 SIT IN GUBERNATORIAL CHAIR

Washington, March 19-The can didates tor the goyernorship of AL aska are multiplying rapidly.
 Charles F. Whittlesey spent some days here developing his strength, and he is credited with having strong backing for the ap- pointment.
 It has been assumed in some quarters that Charles Sulzer. the defeated candidate for delegate to congress from Alazskza would re ceiYe the appointment at the hands of President Wilson but the un- derstaL ding now is that the Presi- den. does not favor his appointment because of the nortoriety that was given the Sulzer family when Chas. Sulzer's brother William Sulzer was impeached as governor of New York state.
 Judge Robert Jennings of Juneau, and Judge Bunnell, Fairbanks are bo'h reported to be strong candi- dates. while John W. Troy, of Ju- neau has considerable backing for the position.
 President Wilson, it is reported, Is in no hurry TO make the appoint ment, and it may be some time be- fore the new governor is named.

LIQUOR DEALERS
MUST GIVE IT Up
Abandon Losing
Fight.

ATLANTA, Jan. 24-Shat manufac-
turers Of whiskey and mail order
houses will soon be voluntarily willing
to furl their tents and abandon los
ing fight if the pending legislation
barring the use Of the mails is carried
into general effect, IS predicted by
United States Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, who IS taking leading part
in the prohibition fight in Washing
ton.
Senator Smith has been doing 4
good dealing OF speaking on the sub
iect this winter, and declares that as
he studies the quetsion further and
further the reasons in favor of exter-
minating the liquor traffic are mex
haustible.
When the use of the mails is denied
the whiskey dealers, Senator Smith
thinks, thereby cutting off communi-
cation between the producer and the
consumer, the latter will soon lose the
address of the shifting whiskey firms
and the desire for whiskey will event
ually pass away when the party want
ing it hasn't the rcmotest idea where
ne can get it.
