Incubators Economical Even for
Small Producers.

Modern Matching of eggs is
exclusively an incubator propo-
sition. There are no large COM
mercial poultry plants or spec
ialized poultymen conducting
business of any consequence that
are not using artificial incubation.
The number of side-line poul-
trymen and farmers buying
lncubators is rapidly increasing.
In fact, it is a question whether
even the city poultryman, with
a few hens in his back yard, can
afford to be without one. To
meet his need, there is the small
electric-heated, ffty-egg capa
city machine successfully oper.
ated in most any room ia j.,
house, or even on the back pUrcn.
Going to the other extreme, the
mammoth commercial hatchery
machine of 5000 10 10000 cog
capacity is not uncommon.

Traitor LaFollette Again.

AS we go to press with this is
sue of the Courier the news is
that LaFollette was seeking to
block the war resolution, but that
Congress would remain in con-
tinuous session until it was pass

of war is now made, as the new

Cabinet MEETING IS HELD
Member Who Attended Conference De-

Forward With "Strone and
Aggressive Policy"

Washington, April g. President
Wilson has definitely determined that
a state of war between the United
States and Germany must be formally
recognized by this government, accord
Ing to his intimate advisers.
This developed following one Of the
briefest cabinet meetings held since
the break with Germany.
The cabinet meeting adjourned after
about two hours Of discussion. The
briefness Of the meeting was taken to
mean that opinions expressed were
unanimous and that If any definite, de-
tailed steps have been decided upon,
they, too, were unanimously favored.
1t would cost $6,000,000000 to place
the United States on an adequate war
footing with force of 1,000,00 under
arms, military men here estimate. This,
1t was said, would be conservative
budget when the tremendous cost Of
raising and equipping such an army
and properly augmenting the navy Is
