REP. JAMES KILLS
TOWNSEND'S BILL.

Washington Rep. Frank James put
the final quietus Senator Townsend's
bill to pay surviving officers of the civil
war compensation of retired officers Of
the regular army by objecting for a
second time to its consideration. The
bill, as a result, fell from the unanim-
GUS consent calendar of the house. On
the calendar Of contested bills the
measure has no chance to pass the house
even if it should succeed in the senate.
The bill is bitterly opposed as dis
elimination in favor Of one group Of
pensioners. 1t is contended that be-
cause man became an officer he is
entitled to a larger pension than the
common soldier. He was much better
paid for his service in the first instance,
while surviving officers generally are
better able to support themselves than
are men who served in the ranks.
Mr.. James unquestionsbly displayed
courage in blocking the measure of the
senator from his own state. Incident
ally the first-term representative
added to the burden Of his unpopularity
with certain group in congress. Hrs
opposition to pensions, public building
pork and the like has already won the
displsasure of several members.
Mr.. James 10 . member of the pension
committee and he made his campaign

PEOPLE MAY DECIDE
STATUS OF LIQUOR.

Whether the people of Michigan, in
voting for statewide prohibition last
fall, intended the state to be ''bone
dry" or wanted the amendment to
permit limited shipments into the state,
is to be decided by the voters them
selves at the spring election. April q,
if the recommendation of sub-com-
mite of the joint house ard senate
liquor committee is adopted by the
legislature.
The two liquor committees have been
unable to decide what form of law the
people wanted, and the subcommittee,
with the approval of members of both
committees, decided to ask the Leg
islature to submit the matter to popular
vote.

Neeaunee Defeats L'Anse.

The fast Negaunee city basketball
team took the Eclipse club team into
camp last Saturday evening, when they
put it over the local boys at the Town

and 1t is the first time that an inde-
pendent team of L'Anse has ever went
down to defeat at home. L'Anse led
in the first half by the score of 10 to 9

Negaunee boys had the best luck in
basket shooting in the second half and
managed to take home the bacon by
one point.
The L'Anse high school girls played
the Negaunee girls a return game at

MAKE YOUR Hens
LAY WINTER EGGS.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 21-Ear'y
Matching is the secret of winter egg
production. say specialists in the U. S.
Department of Agriculture: The pullet
that is hatched early natures early and
is ready to lay eggs in the fall when
the supply is scarcest and prices high
est. Chickens that are expected to be
revenue producers for their owners
later in the year should be out of their
shells by April 30 at the latest. If they
are properly cared for thereafter they
will begin to lay eggs at the very time
that eggs are most wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen of
the country have overlooked this simple
fact. For one thing, birds Matched
later in the spring or summer are not
inclined to become broody until late
the following season and thus an un-
profitable circle is formed. Each year
pullets mature too late to produce in
the fall and winter, and they sit too
late for their offspring to do any better.
The poultryman who wishes to get
really good returns from his flock must
break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has.
made this comparatively easier. There
is no reason why incubators should not
be filled in March and early April and
the Matching over before May l. If no
incubator is available it may be possible
to secure broody hens in the neighbor-
hood. That they will repay the trouble
and expense necessary to obtain them
is indicated by results at the govern
ment poultry farm in Maryland. There
it is not unusual to get daily average
of one egg for every five hens through
out the fall and winter, and in some
pens the average has been as high as
one egg for three birds. If anything
like this percentage could be obtained
on farms, the ordinary poultry farmer
would derive real benefit from the high
prices which eggs invariably bring for
a period of several months.

REV. W. N. WORLEY DIED
AT PHOENIX, ARIz.

Mrs. Ella Johnson, teacher in the
Harrison school, received a telegram
from Phoenix, Arizona, Thursday in
forming her of the death of her faith
er, Rev. w. NJ. Worley. at the fam
lily home in that city. Death was
due to heart trouble and was not
unexpected by the relatives and
friends of the deceased as he had
been in failing health for a long time.
Rev. and Mrs. Worley, in company
with their son. Guy. and daughter,
Miss Edna, left here for Phoenix last
fall and established their residence
in that city. Friends of the family
here will be pleased to know that Guy
Worley. who was semf-invalid at
the time of his departure from Can
on City, has been in fairly good health
all winter, altho his fathers illness
was very hard on him.
Rev. Worley was resident of Can
on City for eight or Ten years and
came here with his wife and family
from Lincoln, Nebraska. where for a
number of years previously he had
been pastor OF the congregation of
one of the larger and more infiuen-
tial Methodist churches. Previously
he was a religious missionary in
Japan. Rev. Worley gave up the min
istry on coming to Canon City and
devoted himself to gardening and
fruitgrowing in order that he might
have the benefit of the open air. Not
at any time, however. did his interest
in church matters relax and he was
a regular attendant at divine services.
He was a good man and was esteem
ed and respected by all who knew
him.
He leaves. besides the sorrowing
widow. four daughters and three
sons.
They are Mrs. Lois Sullivan. Mrs.
Ella Johnson of Canon City. Miss
Jessie Worley. teacher in the East
Denver high school: Miss Edna Wor-
ley of Phoenix; Gilbert H. Worley
of Omaha, Nebraska: w. E. Worley
of Douglas. Arizona. and Guy worley

The funeral will take place at Phoe-
nix on Saturday.
