--aKentuckian and proud of it
paid rare tribute publicly to the

District Congressman. During the
discussion in the House of the reso-
luton to continue the investigation
of the accounts between the United
States and the District of Columbia,
which have been conducted by Mr..
Johnson, the Speaker, using the
third person, said:
This committee has done more
good than any investigating commit
tee provided for in the House since
he (the Speaker has been a member
of it. 1t has obtained more results"
When it is recalled that Speaker
Clark has been a member of the
House for more than a score years
and that during that period there
have been many investigations OF al
most every conceivable subject by
congressional committees, the force
of the tribute he paid to Mr.. john

SPRING POULTRY WORK.
Proper Method of Handling Incubator
to Secure Good Results.

Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
Poultry raiSers who wish to produce
eggs next fall and winter should begin
now to plan for the early setting Of
eggs. In the central group of states
settings should he made from the early
part to fhc last o. February ana in the
northern tier of states from the latter
part Of February TO about the middle
Of April With settings timed on this
schedule the chicks will hatch in am-
pie time TO allow their maturity before
cold weather. The pullets from these
broods should lay during the late fan
Or early winter, when eggs are scarcest.
One difficulty In setting eggs in spring
at selected dates II the natural system
Of incubation Is followed Is IN finding
broody hens at the proper times. II
natural incubation is defended upon
exclusively it probably will be best fog
the poultry raiser to disregard dates
and make settings whenever brooly
hens are available.
The suggested schedule can he fol-
lowed exactly If an incubator is used.
The machine should be operated in
warm ROOM preferably cellar, as
protection against outside temperature
changes. II should be dislnfccted
thoroughly before being used with
solution OF reliable coal tar diSnfec.
tant. After disinfectiOn the ln"uhat tor
should be run empty for several days
to got it into good operating condition.
After the eggs are in place the tenn
perature should be held at from lCsM
degrees TO lO2 degrees r.. the first
week, 102 degrees TO 103 degrees the
second week and at l03 degrees the
third week.
q The eggs usually are turned for the
first time at the end of the second day
and twice daily through thu eighteenth
or nineteenth day. The eggs are cool.
ed~outside the hatching chamber once
daily after the seventh and up TO the
nineteenth day. Moisture should be
furnished in Artificial incubation IN the
soIIh in high attitudes, and when Ia,
Incubator room Is Cry. This u..y be
done By sprlnkllng the eggs with warm
water or by PLACING n wet snOnGc or.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness
and that Is by q constitutional remedy
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube 10
inflamed you have n rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces Of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir

On these happy happy bengs-dscipes of Love-
And the just in the eastern sky
But couldn't stand the sight that met his eye.
He pulled up cloud from he realms of space
And crawled behind IL to hide his face.
The lovers drew closer, IL such could be
And of all the spoonng you did Sec
But in all this time they dill know
That the time long past when he ought to CO.
Thoy did dream that it nigh onto
And that Dad had a dog that a son-of-a-gun.

And a swapping also Of the dog-house door
The young remembered date that he had
And he depart from the realms of that Dad

He forgot the past hour in the of that miss
He beat It in terror for the high garden fence.
For the dog didn't figure pants-seats expense.
He Just reached the fecce-but he let out a groan
As the dog got a hold in the safety zone

But never again from that day to this

RED CROSS
WORK GETS
APPROVAL
DR.. r. A. Beard Speaks on
Question Before the Far
60 Commons Club.

A statewide campaign, in which
| Fargo Is expected to do its share, will
be instituted by DR.. r.. A. Beard, di-
rector of the Red Cross work in
North Dakota, for the increasing of
the membership OF the organization.
Steps are being taken for the form
alton OF chapter in this city, meet
ing for the purpose to be called for
the Commercial club rooms this week.
Fargo will be asked to join this
work now that the country is facing
crisis" said DR.. Beard to a repre-
sentative of The Forum. Much in
terest is being shown in the work in
this part of the country as elsewhere
and the plan is to institute statewide
campaign, which will be put under
way at once. It is expected that one
or more of the national officers of the
Red Cross will come to this state for
the purpose of assisting in the cam
paign."
Already a number of the young peo-
pie of the city have signffied their in
tention Of becoming members of the
society and the prospects are good for
the formation of a large chapter in
this city.
Addresses Commons Club. .
AS a result of an address given by
DR.. Beard last evening to the men,
bers of the Commons club, that or
ganization enthusiastically endorsed
the work Of the Red Cross.
In his address, DIR. Beard empha-
sized the necessity of greater mem
bership in this country, and he urged
the people of Fargo to do their share
in the national campaign in aid of the
Red Cross.
The speaker called attention to the
fact that Germany has 1900, 900 men,
bers in the Red Cross. Russia has
even more" said DR.. Beard, but the
United States with its 100,000,000 peo-
pie, has membership Of only 100000.
Will Need Many More.
while 1t is true that two thirds of
the nurses of this country are en-
rolled in the Red Cross, yet. If they
were called away for field service, 1t
would mean that many hospitals would
be deprived of trained service. 1t is
quite necessary that our young women
become trained as emergency nurses
to take the place of those who would
be called away in time Of need"
DR.. Beard called attention to the
fact that in a short time this country
may need the service of the Red
Cross, and that every effort should be
made to cooperate with it.
Prof H. L. Bolley of the agricultural
college, and Major M: F. Steele, also
spoke briefly on. the work of the or
ganization and at the conclusion OF
the meeting a majority of those pres
ent enrolled as members. An effort
will be made to enroll the entire men,

Tho Camp Is Full of Rumors as to How Many Are tO Receive Commissions and

By RICHARD r. TUssgrra

Camp Warden Mclean, Fort Ogle- thorpe, Ga. November 10.-(speciaf) Only two more weeks of intensive train ing and then a host of newly graduated reserve officers will leave this camp for their homes, and later for overseas serv- ice in France. The local newspapers in sist that about 5000 men will receive con- nlisaions at Camp Warden Mclean but go far nothing of an official nature has developed. Everyone is on the anxious seat
 From the reports received locally it is inferred that something like 1S00 of the men commissioned will be paced on the inactive list of reserve officers to await the need of their services. This need of reserve officers is expected to come when the men summoned to the colors on the second call of the drafted forces are placed in the mobilization camps. This second call announced for early in De- cember some weeks ago is now reported to be postponed until the first of the year. It Is unlikely that reserve officers placed on the inactive list will remain that way very long as the government has already announced third series of officers training camps to open on Jan- uary 5. This third series of camps is for non-conlmissioned officers of the reg ular army and drafted forces and grad uates of recognized military schools. These camps will not be open to civilians.
 For the final two weeks of the training here study and lectures will predominate, although, of course, the bayonet drills will continue This camp has specialized on the bayonet until the candidates are more than anxious to try their skill with Fritz with cold steel.
