THE COMMUNITY PACK HORSE

T Every community ought. to
have a pack horse-a kind of a
fellow to carry around the public
load and see that the things that
are worth while in a public way
are done. He ought to be paid a
salary and the people of each
community ought to be taxed so
that all would bear a part of the
public burden. AS it is, if any
thing is done, a few fellows al
ways do it and bear the expense.
The majority don't give a cuss
whether the community prospers
or not. Buckeye Valley News.

LOOPING. G.THE.LOOP

By looping-the-loop in a sea
plane, Captain Francis T. Evans
of the United States Marine Corps
astonished officers of the aerona-
'utical station at Pensacola, Fla,
who had considered the feat i'm.
possible. Captain Evans is the
first American aviator to attempt
it.
Although looping-the-loop in
all ordinary aeroplane has out
worn its novelty as a popular
stunt, the heavy pontoons at
tached to the air and water flier
hitherto have been a bar to SINH
lar attempts with this type of
machine.
Captain Evans found it nee
cessary to drive through the air
at great speed before he could
gain the inverse position. He
then looped-the-lo twice before
his descent. The machine was a
Curtiss tractor.

TALKS WITH THE
BUSINESS MAN
By NELS DARLING
COPYRIGHTED

tcoPYRrdHTED
Here is my last talk Of this series and here
are some points that want you to get we'll fixed
in your mind
First Advertising pays. 1t is taking the
business from the small country merchant to the
big city store every day. The country merchant
must learn how to talk in print
Second Any dealer can learn how to write
good, trade-pulling, business-buildng advertising
Third Occasional, Spasmodic advertising is
better than none, but il does not get the results
that the regular, stick-to-t type does.
Fourth: Good advertising will increase your
business. Increased business with little or no in
creased expense, will enable you to sell some things
cheaper and meet outside competition on merchan-
disc that has been found for bait
Fifth: Much money is wasted in msdirected
advertising The newspaper is the best medium
for the man in the retail business.
Sixth: Pay attention to your advertising as
you do TO buying goods extending credits and
looking after all the details of your business
Seventh: People will read your advertise
ments, heed your advertisements need your adver-
tisementS, if they are worth while. Make them in
keeping with the spirit of the times-honest goods
at honest prices, sold in an honest store where
service and courtesy are watch words.

HATCH CHICKENS EARLY

Did it ever occur to you, says
the Weekly Press Letter of the
Department of Agriculture, that
nature requires her children to
take an annual vacation? She
does, and nowhere do human be-
ings puzzle their brains over this
fact more than when the hens
begin their yearly holiday. This
vacation is technically called the
''molting season. 1t begins dur
ing the late summer. The hers
stop laying, and change their
suits of feathers for new ones.
Usually they consume three or
four months in the process. Most
of us know this perfectly well,
but are apt to overlook the fact
that very important feature of
the Noting period is that egg
laying stops. We are unreason-
able and expect the hens to lay
all the time. When the hens
take this vacation new-laid fresh
eggs are scarce and remain scarce
until the pullets Matched during
the preceding spring begin to lay.
The remedy is very simple, and
is under the control of the poul-
try man. The first step is to have
chickens hatched early, so that
the pullets begin to lay when the
hens begin to molt. This is not
difficult. Pullets of the Ameri-
can breed begin laying at about
seven months of age. Leghorn
pullets begin when about six
months old. The best plan is to
have the chickens coming at in
tervals during March and April.
The earliest Matched pullets, will
of course, begin to lay first. If
any of them begin to molt, their
places will be taken by the later
ones and a steady supply of eggs
will be more certain.
The difficulty in the way of the
practical application of this mat
ter is that so many poultry keep
ers are dependent on hens for
Matching. AS long as we have
late Matched chickens we will
have late sitters. The poultry
keeper who wants to change from
late Matching to early Matching
must therefore either get broody
hens from someone else or use
an incubator. After he has
changed the dates" on his flock
he will have no trouble, especially
with the American breeds.
Every progressive poultry rails
er who has tried it, every agri-
cultural college and the govern
ment, have data showing that
early Matching will produce fall
and winter layers. In the gov
ernment flock during the past
winter the pullets of the en-
tire flock averaged over 20 per
cent in egg production, and some
pens made 35 per cent. That
means, in plain language, that
the egg production for all the
pullets was an egg daily for
every five hens, and for some
pens one egg daily for every
three hens. This, too, when
fresh eggs sold up to rs cents
per dozen in Washington. This
could not have been done except
by early Matching.

years may be attributed to smoking,
although admitting that in the face Of
conflicting opinions, 1--WE can see how
far we are from definite conclusions

"The effect on the pulse of smoking

Doctor Aikman, "16 out of % subjects

rise was spectacular, and came on in
one or two minutes, almost as soon as
the pulse was taken. OF the 27 cases
