arranged that it can accommodates
800 to 1000 people, and Mr.. Lederle
is anxious that this room may be
generally used by the citizens. He
also hopes that the gymnasium might
be in use every hour 'of the day, both
by the students and the citizens.
The problem of using the new
building will have to be planned and
carefully worked out. He hopes, when
the present building is vacated, that
an ungraded room may be provided
for those who have beep SO handicap
ped as to have fallen behind in grad
ing.
He also spoke of the need of regu-
lar physical examinations and urged
that something be done along the line
of good health; much poor work in
school being traceable to some physi-
cal defect that might be corrected.
At the close of his talk, many per-
tinent questions upon the above top
les were asked and answered.

Bedding Bird Club

Notice is hereby given of the call
for special meeting of the Bedding
Bird club to be held at the city hall
Saturday, January 27, at 1880 p. m.
1t is now the time of the year for
active service in the cause and the
completion of the organization will
be perfected at that time. 1t seems
to be difficult to get the members to
attend these meetings. These meet
ings are vital to the existence of the
club and we desire to see each and ev-
cry member in attendance at this
meeting. Many topics will be taken
up for discussion and plans for the
care and protection of our song birds.
Your committee has now done their
part, will you do yours?
Signed:
Belding Bird Club,
By It's Executive Committee.

Regarding Climatic Conditions

Those people who have the habi.
Of linking Imperial Valley and that
other supposedly torrid region togeth-
er are sadly at fault, if the stories the
returning vacationers tell Us are true
and there is reason to believe they
are.
They insist that they had some ter
rificaly hoc days in Los Angeles and
at other coast poirts--so had We. They
also gel ue thev had . high I-ind--ao
had we. And too, they say that it was
cold-so cold they were uncomfortable
and right there is where we break
away and get big entry on the credit
side of the ledger. While they were
having unpleasantly cold nights and
days we had the usual balmy sunshine
by day and that cool, delightful tenn
peratme that made men thank heaven
il was bed time and regret that the
matin cock crowed so early.
In other words, summed up and az
eraged and compared day for day and
condition with condition, the valley hal

centage and from now on it viii con-

Stacker HEN MUST co
THOSE NOT PRODUCING EGGS
MUST BE REMOVED
Each Hen To Be Valuable Must Pro.
duce $50 Eggs Year
At Least

&C correspondence of Associated Pressl
Sacramento, Aug. 20.-This is 10
time for teh hen who is a Stacker. If
hen will not lay at least lao eggs d
year, she ought not to be permitted
70 have any progeny. Care should lie
taken that future floc5s are al! hatch
cd from the eggs Of her thct a.c
heavy layers.
P0ultrymen whose hens average
only about 120 eggs are likely to be
put out of business-so the University
of California College of Agriculture
has reported 10 the committee on re-
sources and food supply Of the Cali
fornia State Council of Defense-it
feed goes much above 81 a hundred
unless egg prices go up proportion
ately, which they have shown no re-
liable tendency to do. The man who
i careful to breed Up his flock until
they produce 100 eggs per hen per
aunum has built on firm foundation
Of assured prosperity.
To keep all puilets. merely because
they are females, and then expect a
profitable return from such flock is
declared by the College of Agriculture
TO be absurd in the extreme. Hens
which produce only few eggs, and
those during the natural mating sea-
son, which is a,so the season of low
est prices, will have descendants with
the same lazy habit Of laying few
eggs.
The "boarder" hen who does not
earn her own keep should no more be
allowed to have her children as her
successors in the flock than should
the 'boardcr" COW be allowed to cat
her head off in pasture and dairy
barn. The hen who lays a hundred
eggs ~ less per annun, when prices
are high as they now, is picking her
owners pocket.

Religious Directors

Most of the members Of the rellg'
ious bodies which are conscientiously
onposed to bearing of arms by their
neopie are in good faith in that posi-
lion. There are some few, doubt. 'sss
who have embraced the doctrines OF
rch sects since the entrance OF the
United States into the war became q
ce4 tainty. believing in that way they
wouid escape going into the arH'%
but these are singled out by the rul-
ing which exempts on religious
grounds only those who were mem
hers of the denominations involved be-
fore war was declared.
For the others, the announcement
by the war department that their SER
vices viii be used in behind-the-llne
activities is not to be construed, as
some have thoughtlessly regarded IT,
as method Of forcing them to defend
their country It is rather to be con-
sidered as making an opportunity for
them to express their undoubted 10y
atty while respecting their religious
beliefs. They are not to escape dan
ger, but to escape the necessity for
taking life. They desire the latter,
not the former. No religious body OF
standing has attempted to save its
members as class from the priva-
tions and rigors that must be endured
by other citizens as a national duty.
The conscientious objector is the
most sincere and honest objector OF
the ,ot, AID is not to be classed as a
Stacker. The new ruling gives him
his opportunity 10 Prove it

Water Coming Now

Water is again coming down the
canals and there is now every indica
ton that the danger point has been
passed and that the crops which have
suffered slightly will recoup and re-
gain what has been lost.
A good many reports Of loss have
been overdrawn AM are the result
argely of anxiety instead of real dam
ger. Conservative farmers generally
sav that there has been a minimum Of
damage due to the shortage.
The new work being put in no" ''t
the heading is not complete and for
this reason we have had conditions
almost identical with those existing
last year save that the canals were
kent in carrying condition. The river
too. has been harder to dam this year
+ban heretofore because Of the heavy
rush of water which secured out the
cbanneI 10 an unusual depth and which
consequently mace the completion OF
the weir dam harder task than here
tofore. Serious trouble was encoun-
tered in driving the siXJy-foot piiIng
and this delayed the completion Of the
dam.
All things considered. the valley Is
in better condition today thar ever
before and the crops promise return

More birdseed for Jack Rowan S
cuckoos. Jack wound the old clock
twice yesterday, but it ran down be-
fore the game was over both times.
The Quakers are eating sardines.
During their last series at Muskegon,
Manager Gilbert discovered that Sam
Brennegan, who has been knocking the
cover off the ball with unerring regu-
larity for the last month, is a lover OF
sardines and gives credit to the sar-
dimes he eats for his hitting. Sunday
night Gilbert's men ate sardines and
Monday they won. Tuesday night
they ate sardines again and Wednes-
day they won two games. Monday
night they ate no sardines.
Illness has forced Manager Gilbert
to release one of the most valuable
players on the Richmond team. After
playing under handicap for practical
ly the entire season, Frank Gygli drew
his release from the Quakers Wednes-
day night Gygli has played a good
game all season, despite his illness,
which has kept him in poor condition
for the greater part of the time. He
has received many jibes from the fans,
who did not know Of Franks work and
who undoubtedly would have thought
better of the first sacker's work had
they nown the facts. Gygli is whirl-
wind when in good physical condition,
but through no fault of his own, he
fell down this season and got in bad
with the fans.
If Thursdays exhibition with the
Browns proves successful financially,
the Quakers will meet the Cubs here
