Can You See The Point?

The farmer who plants his seed in
the ground and then lets it grow as it
will without further cultivation is like
the business man who buys stock OF
goods, opens his doors and is satisfied
with what trade naturally drifts in. But
the advertising firm is like the pro-
gressive farmer who works in the field
day after day and is rewarded with a
big crop True, the shiftlesS farmer
gets as much per many sales at a small
profit that it spends all summer in the
field but he does not have so many
bushels to sell. And so ii is with the
business house. The progressive house
advertises all the time and as a resul,
makes so bushel for his grain as the
farmer whose total gains are far more
than the non.advertiser who is satisfied
with few big profits on few scatter
ing sales. The wise man or woman
knows it pays to trade with firms tha
advertise.

The Secretary of Agriculture gave
out statement recently to refute the
report that States desiring to obtain
money for roads under the Federal aid
road ACT, which appropriates sS5, ,OOO,-
600, must build only expensive roads,
and to make il clear that no particular
kind of material will be required or
favored by the Department of \Agricul-
ture to the detriment Of other materials.
There is not the slightest truth in
such report, said Secretary Houston
This department, which is charged
with the administration of the Federal

restrictions, either direct or implied,
upon the kinds OF highways to be con
.structed, States may submit for appro
wal any kind Of road, even an earth
road, and approval will be given IL the
construction be substantial in character
suitable for traffic needs, and meets
the terms Of the Federal act. To give
State Legislators and highway official.
the impression that this department
favors only costly types Of road, or dis
eliminates In favor Of any particular
material, results not only In spreading
misinformation, but in placing barrier.

HOW TO SET A HEN.

AS the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit, if care is taken
to look into the nest, il will be seen
that there are few soft, downy feath-
ers being left there by the hen; also the
hen stays longer on the nest when lay
ing at this time, and on being approach
ed will quite likely remain on the nest,
making clucking noise, ruffling her
feathers, and pecking at the intruder.
When it is noted that hen sits on the
nest from two to three nights in success
sion, and that most of the feathers are
gone from her breast, which should feel
hot to the hand, she is ready to be
transferred to nest which has been
prepared for her beforehand, according
to the poultry specialists Of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture. The nor
NAL temperature Of hen is from LOG
degrees to l07 degrees F., which varies
slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen throughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet, head down,
working the powder well into the
feathers, giving special attention to
regions around the vent and under the
wings. The powder should also be
sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet,
out-of.the-way place, where the sitting
hen will not be disturbed. Move her
from the regular laying nest at night
and handle her carefully in doing So
Put china egg or two in the nest
where she is to sit, and place a board
over the opening SO that she can not
get off. Towards the evening of the
second day quietly 60 in where she is
sitting, leave some feed and water, re-
move the board from the front or top of
the nest, and let the hen come off when
she is ready. Should she return to the
nest after feeding, remove the china
egg or eggs and put under those that
are to be incubated II the nests are
slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless. AT Matching
time they should be confined aud not
be disturbed until the hatch is complet-
ed, unless they become restless, when
it may be best to remove the chicks
that are hatched first. In cool weather
It is best not to put more than 10 eggs
under hen, while later in the spring
one can put IL to Is, according to the
size Of the hen.--U. S. Dept Of Agri
culture.

80. 900 FIRES FROM
A NEW FORM
OF CARELESSNES

A new form OF fire peril is coming in
to prominence as a cause of much de-
struction, and its fires are so directly
associated with carelessness that il has
been deemed necessary to issue a
special warning to the people of the
United States. Because of their con-
venience, small electric devices, such
as pressing irons, curling irons, toasters
electric pads or blankets. electric plate
warmers, and electric sterilizers or
heaters are now to be found in almost
every community. II these were used
with proper care the danger would be
negligible. but, unfortunately, a pro-
portion of their users does not realize
the peril ofleaving them in circuit when
not in use. In such cases these devices
tend to become overheated, whereupon
they are likely to set fire to anything
combustible with which they are in
contact.
Most OF these fires are small, but the
aggregate loss is large, and occasional
instances show extensive damage, as
in the case Of the $3.50, 1000 fire in the
Boston residence OF Ex-Governor
Draper; this was traced TO an electric
plate warmer in the buffers pantry.
Fires of this class furnish a special
peril to life, being most frequent in
dwellings and often breaking out at
night. A characteristic example is that
In which an electric pressing iron is
left upon the ironing board, with the
current turned on, and then forgotten.
In such case the fire may not occur
until some hours later. The burning
of the residence OF John Wanamaker,
several years ago, was due to an electric
pressing iron.
That this form of hazard is already as
suming large proportions appears from
the statistics. For example, the Actu-
arial Bureau Of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters in one day noted ap-
proximately one hundred reports of
fires from this cause, out OF a total of
two thousand losses in a days reports,
and it estimates that small electrical de-
vices are causing fires at the rate of
80, 900 or more in the course of year.
II is safe to say that most of these
fires are entirely preventable, and can
be charged to nothing but carelessness
on the part of the user. Various safe
ty' devices have been added by certain
of the manufacturers of these articles,
and among them are some that are fair
ly effective, but there is one absolute
precaution which should be borne in
mind at all times by every user, name
ly, that Of shutting off the current when
not personally and continuously super
vising the use.

AMERICAN STUDENTS
TO REBUILD FRANCE
President James, of University of
Illinois, Lays Plan Before
French Ambassador.

Washington. May 23.-The con-
spicuous part that American universi-
ties are playing in aiding American
arms was emphasized by the recent
visit Of DR.. Edmund James James,
president of the University of ILL
nois. who came to offer the govern
ment the facilities OF that great uni
versity and particularly to bear to
Ambassador Jusserand OF France 4
unique offer to help when the days
of reconstruction come in the devas-
tated areas of France and Belgium.
This was nothing less than the
proposal OF the University of I'LL
nois to send to France complete city
building units of expert engineers and
to place these corps at the disposal
of the French government.
As outlined by DR.. James, each
unit would consist OF an architect, a
landscape gardener, an electrical en-
gineer. a highway civil engineer, 4
municipal and sanitary engineer, a
chemical engineer. and an economist.
With such groups in charge of de-
tails, France would be rebuilt In
model cities and villages, a more de-
lightful place in which to live than
ever 1t was before war came.
In order to prepare men for SER
vice in such units the University Of
Illinois will conduct a special train
ing school this summer, the courses
being supplied from its school Of
architecture-one Of the largest in
the country--its school of engineer
ing, and it's courses in landscape
gardening and sanitary, civil. and
highway engineering. The object Of
this school will be to train profess
sional men in cooperation betkeeu

The organization of ambulance
corps In many universities, military
training schools in others. the en-
couragement of gardening and food
economy by others, are among the
efforts which American institutions
of learning are making for victory.

told newspaper correspondents here,
all year has been training 1900
freshmen and sophomores as bril-
grade: 1t has organized hospital
unit, signal corps. an engineering
company. and a field battery; and
this summer II will conduct a junior
military training camp for high
school boys. the instruction being
given by the cadet officers of the
university brigade and the military
commandant.
