DODGES WIN THE FORD SUIT
Profits of Motor Car Plant for 1916
Must be Distributed, Court
Decides.

Detroit, Nov. Henry Ford today
lost the Dodge-Ford suit in the Wayne
circuit court in which Horace E. and
John F. Dodge asked that Ford be re-
strained from using the 1916 profits
of the Ford plant to erect smelter
plant in River Rouge.
The Dodge brothers petitioned the
court asking that the profits of the
year be divided among the stock
holders.
The case was argued here several
weeks ago, and witnesses testified at
that time that about GO million dollars
was involved. The Dodge Brothers,
who are stockholders of the Ford Mo-
tor Company. attempted by Injunction
to prevent Ford from using his COM
pany's profits to erect great blast fur
nices at River Rogue, near Detroit.

First and Second Regiments Now Com
pose 137th United States Infan-
try-Retain IS Captains

After more than two weeks OF stren-

old First and Second Kansas National
Guard regiments into the new 18th
United States infantry is practically
completed. The reorganization has re-
Quired that a lieutenant colonel, three
majors, fourteen captains and num-

transfers already have been an

In putting into effect the consolida-
ton of the two regiments. Colonel
Perry M. Hoisington has retained
eight captains of the old First and
eight from the old Second. There are
only a few vacancies among the COM
missioned officers and practically all
companies are up to the required
strength of $50 enlisted men.
The most changed company of the
regiment is the headquarters company.
which now includes in addition to the
band, regimental non-commissioned
staff and orderlies, special artillery
and signal sections. The old Second
infantry band, organized by Otero
Beeson at Hutchinson, will be retained
as regimental band for the 18th in
fantry, while the old First band, led
by Director Rigdon of Lawrence, will
be transferred intact to some other
regiment.
The enlisted strength. of the consoli-
dated regiment includes only Kan

States infantry the largest distinctive

Washington, Nov. AL export re-

ment, it was made known today, will
be permitted to take the kind of ma

in Italy and the aid America Will rem
der were gone over at conference
today between Secretary Lansing and
Count Di Cellere, the Italian ambas-
sador Italy's crying-need for ships
was given especial consideration
Promise Many Ships to Italy.
Approximately one hundred thou
sand tons OF shipping has been prom
ised Italy. Four vessels already have
been turned over, and the others will
be delivered as fast as they are avail
able. The shortage of ships is SO
serious, however, that the whole
amount of tonnage promised may not
be available for thirty days.
ItaIy's greatest need is coal, and
next steel for her munitions factories.
She has been drawing on this coun-
try for about one hundred thousand
tons of coal a month, but now that
English coal is harder to obtain her
requirements from the United States
will approach four hundred thousand
tons monthly. The country starts the
winter, according to Italian officials,
fully two million tons of coal short.
Food Situation Not So Bad.
The Shipping the United States is
able to release will be totally made
quate to meet the demand for coal and
to carry food and munitions How
| ever, it is likely, it was said today,
that the Italians will make trade
with Spain for large amount OF Span
ish tonnage to supplement the Amer
| lean ships. At the same time the
Italians will put into Transatlantic
| service as many of their own ships
as possible.
Italy's food situation, it was said to-
| day, is not as bad as 1T has been pic
| tured The bread ration is larger now
| than in either France or England. II
| however, the Italians wish to trans
| port food in preference to coal and

HOW TO SET A HEN

Washington, d. c., March 5-As the
time approaches for the hen to become
broody or sit, if care is taken to look
into the nest, it will be seen that there
are a few soft, downy feathers being
left there by the hen; also the hen
stays longer on the nest when laying
at this time, and on being approached
will quite likely remain on the nest
making a clucking noise, ruffling her
feathers, and pecking at the intruder.
When it is noted that a hen sits OH the
nest from two to three nights in sue
Icession, 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 a nest
which has been prepared for her be-
forehand, according to the poultry
specialists of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture. The normal temperature
If a hen is from LOG TO 107 degrees F.,
which varies slightly during incuba-
ton.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet, the 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. Toward the evening of the
second day quietly go in where she is
sitting, leave some feed and water,
'emove the board from the front or
,op of the nest, and let the hen come
,ff when she is ready. Should she re-
urn to the nest after feeding, remove
he china egg or eggs and put under
hose that are to be incubated. If the
tests are slightly darkened the hens
ire less likely to become restless. At
latching time they should be confined
md not be disturbed until the hatch is
unless they become rest
css, when it may be best to remove
he chicks that are hatchcd first. In
ool weather it is best not to put more

EARLY MATCHING FOR SIZE

Washington, ID. c., March 5-Con-
trary to general belief and practice,
chicks do not grow or thrive as well
during the warm months or hot sum
mer days as they do earlier in the
spring. Experienced poultrymen re-
alize this fact. The average farmer,
however, does not make an effort TO
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage Of longer and
more favorable growing season. Early
Matching not only insures more rapid
gains in the growth Of chicks but has
a favorable influence on the size of the
individuals of the flock. Late hatched
chicks rarely, if ever attain the size
of those hatched early. Early hatch
ing likewise influences early maturity
and consequently early egg produc-
ton.
Given the same food, care and at
tention, chicks Matched the first Of
March will weigh more when they are
four months old than those hatched a
month later, say the poultry special
lists Of the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture. This likewise holds true with
chicks hatched the first of April as
compared with those hatched May
first This is due to the fact that the
rate of growth of a chick is greater
during the first four weeks of its life
than at any other time. Consequently,
the early hatched chick, having the adj
of more favorable growing
season, makes greater gains during
the first four weeks of its life than
Inc late hatched chick. During the
narIy spring months when the tenn
perature is not so varied the growth Of
hicks is more uniform and constant
Than it is during the summer
Millions Of chicks die every year as
4 result Of being infested with lice
which, under average farm conditions,
IRE oftimes difficult TO control. Hen
latched chicks are not as subject TO
ice in the early spring as they are
Turing the warmer months when lice
ire more prevalent. II for no othe.
eason chicks should be hatched early
10 their growth will not be interrupted
" the presence Of lice.
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale Of
the price Of which is usually
-overned by their size when sold and
he time marketed. Thus it would
eem that in order 10 increase the
mount Of money from the sale Of
rollers and frycrs carly Matching

pring when prices ars highest.
