EARLY CHICKENS
DEVELOP BEST

Contrary to general belief and prac-
well during the warm months or hot
summer days as they do earlier in the
spring. Experienced poultrymen real
ize this fact. The average farmer,
however. does not make an effort
to hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage Of a 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.
Matched chicks rarely, IL ever, attain
the size of those Matched early. Early
Matching likewise influences early ma
turity and consequently early egg pro-
duction.
Give the same food, care, and at
tentIon, chicks Matched the list of
March will weigh more when they are
four months old than those Matched a
month later, say the poultry special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture. This likewise holds
true with chicks Matched the LIST Of
April as compared with those Matched
May 1. This is due to the fact that
during the first four weeks of its life
than at any other time. Consequent
~, the early-hatched chick, having the
advantage of more favorable grow
ing. season. makes greater gains dur
ing the first four weeks of It's life
than the late-hatched chick. During
the early spring months when the
temperature is not SO varied the
growth of chicks is more uniform and
constant than It is during the sum.
mefI
Millions OF chicks dies every year
as result OF being infested with lice
which. under average farm conditions.
are Outlines difficult to control. Hen.
Matched chicks are not as subject to
lice In the early spring rs they are
during the warmer months when lice
are more prevalent. II for no other
reason, chicks should be hatched early
so their growth will not be interrupt
cd by the presence OF lice.
Many farmers, realize considerable
money each spring from the sale Of
broilers. the price Of which is usually
governed by their size when sold and
"a n
seem that in order to increase the
amount Of money from the sale OF
broilerp and fryers early Matching
would BIO employed 30 as 70 have a

WHO rays the INTEREST,"

the means Of promoting 1t. no matter
where he finds II, or what the business
is by which the prosperity is gained.
We have not a word Of objection to
the success OF the big mail order
houses: We could not have. We have
the greatest faith in the methods they
use in building up their business.
They use the only approved system
the world knows-Adyertising.
Don't misunderstood us. We are
not in favor of mail order houses. We
do not patronize them. We never
viii patronize them, and we do not ad-
wise anybody to patronize them But
at the same time we must admit that
they conduct their business on the
only lines that count for success in
business. Listen to a little newspa-
per item, which we cut from city
financial column some weeks ago:
Local stockholders have been noti-
field that the directors OF Sears, Roe
buck & Co., have recommended the
distribution to stockholders OF a 25
per cent stock dividend. making the
entire capital OF the company $75,000,-
600 common and 100000 preferred.
At the meeting fthe directors yes
terday, the dividend rate on the COM
mon stock was increased from 7 to s
per cent. A special meeting of the
stockholders was called for February
26 to carry into effect the recommen-
dations of the directors"
Who pays this big dividend? Who
is responsible for the success of the
big Chicago house? The people.
The people always respond to adver-
Using, and the mail order house de-
ponds solely upon advertising to pro-
mote its ends. How successfully the
big company referred to above has
done its work is due to but one thing
Advertising.
Take a local store that advertises
and gives people to understand how
II conducts its business, and you will
find always store that is busy and
that has no complaint to offer about
the mail order houses running its bust
ness.

AMERICAN iNVEN-
TON, CAUSE OF NATION
nnlAn Tn WA q

Il
In considering the submarine and
its activities In the present war 1t is
interesting to recall two things, name
ly, that the submarine is an Ameri-
can invention and that this nation
! was partly responsible in permitting
II to be used in international war
fare, comments the Journal.
We have all known that an Ameri-
can invented the submarine but 1t is
not so generally known that 1t was
an American vote at The Hague con-
vention in 1899 that brought about the
decision to make the new boat fac
tor in war.
The Chattanooga Times quotes the
following, which there is no reason to
, doubt:
When, therefore. the question Of
! the submarine was brought before
The Hague conference in 1899, the
possibilities Of the weapon had al
ready attracted much attention. Never
theless. Captain Siegal. representing
Germany, promptly declared his be-
lief that IL other nations would agree
not to adopt ships of this kind, Ger
many would adhere to that under
standing. Rear Admiral Mahan, how.
ever (then Captain Mahan), who
was the naval representative of the
United States at the conference, de-
clined to commit himself or his gov.
eminent upon the proposal discussed.
The French delegates followed suit
(the French designers Romazzotti,
Laubeuf, Maugas and others were
then busily developing the subma.
rine), declaring that submarine had
an eminently defensive object, and
that 1t was not necessary to prohibit
them. q Moore's Digest Of Inter.
national Law. p. 36S). The British
delegates, having in mind, no doubt,
the vast fleets of his nation
borne upon the sea, announced that
his government would consent to for
bid undersea craft II the others would
concur and the Russian delegate
with a reservation as to unanimity
was also for prohibition"
Commenting on this the Memphi!
CommerciatAppeal says:
This is certainly a most interest
ing story, coming just now when W,

Ran Yesterday Caused Posponmen of First Game of Four Game Series-Comstock and Millgan Work for
 Barons Today-Close Games Expected

A couple of umpires and about 40 oall players, not to mention a few scrioes, gained an off day yesterday when they should have been at work. Jupiter Pluvius caused 1t all, but none of the aforesaid gents are the least bit angry at the rain god for his action.
 But as the consequence of yester- days rest, the lost time must be remedied and a double days labor must be staged today.
 Roy Ellam and his clan of Nash Vile Vols arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning. The off afternoon gave them an opportunity to take a good look at the Magic City and its possessions
 Today the Vols will lock horns with the Barons in a double bill. The first game is scheduled to be- gin at 2:15 o'clock.
 Both games promise to be interest Ing clashes. Ralph Comstock and Mark Milligan are scheduled to work In the two games. for the Barons, while Jack Scott and Art Decatur will probably be Ellam's mound of- fering.

son for the champions; The Ellam- ites are scheduled to play four games before they shake the dust of the Magic City from their heels. Should J. P. refrain from entertaining again, two of these conflicts will be staged this afternoon
 The Barons jaunt up to Chatta- nooga for a four-game series with Kid Elberfeld's clan, starting Sum- day with a double header. A single game will be played Monday and Tuesday, and then Moley and his help will return to Redwood to start the most crucial series of the present campaign as far as the local aggrega- ton is concerned,
 The Atlanta Crackers come for four 2 games, starting Wednesday. and should the Moleys return the victor in the majority of the clashes, the chances of the chubby leaders team for the rag would be materially in- creased. Meanwhile. everybody will sit steady in the boat and await the coming of the Dutchman's aggrega- ton.
 But the Barons will undoubtedly en- counter some stiff opposition from the Vols. Ellam has his team going at tiptop speed at the present and the Barons must play better ball than , they did against the Travellers in or der to win the majority of the con- tests.

The rain yesterday not only caused tt,e postponement of the scheduled game between the Barons and the Vols, but also caused disappointment to many Boy Scouts and members of the Boys club, who were going to att tend the game as guests of the local association. They will not miss their treat however, for Secretary West has invited them all to be on hand this afternoon to witness the double headerN The scouts will meet outside the park about o'clock and will sit in body in a special reserved sec- tion. Every youngster in the district who Is member of either organiza- tion will be admitted to the game free, provided he wears his uniform.
