Who Will Help Raise
Extra Poultry Meat During
Months Of May and June

with the hue and cry of costly feed
poultry and all meat products have
been soaring far above all the usual
estimates as to the relative cost OF
production, and the selling price
The margin of profit on the produc-
ton. of eggs and poultry for meat is
far in excess of the percentage OF
profit in normal times. But aside
from the question of profit, we
Americans must look at the situa
ton from a philanthropic and hui
manitarian standpoint and each and
every one do his bit" to meet an
exigency that seems inevitable. Let
us all try to be factor In the pro
duction of an extra hundred million
pounds of poultry meat which is less
than one pound additional for each
man, woman and child in the United
States.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has just issued an esti-
mate that upwards of seven hundred
millions of dollars is the annual tribute
paid by Americans to the garbage can
Why not convert this into feed to pro =
duce poultry and eggs.
Every home can have a self -sup-
porting and profitable flock in the
back yard by converting the offal
from the table and kitchen into the
very choicest of poultry feed. Why
such an astounding waste, an utter
extravaganza that costs us nearly
seven dollars for every man, woman
and child in the United States i?
Let every home have a neat poultry
house and a few well kept, profitable
fowls. The editor of the Poultry
Breeder" will be only too pleased to
cooperate with every reader desiring
any information.
1t is not unusual for the fanciers
to quit Matching with, April. Let
me urge that Matching be continued
during the months of May and June
and also during duly in a large part
of our country. Let the old hen dc
her part-fill up the incubators-
keep them going through May and
June-the results will be worth while
Let us be prepared to consume every
bit of table and kitchen scraps and
make them source of profit.

(By E. E. Richards, President of
the American Poultry Association)
Before another Matching season,
the great United States will, no
doubt be in the deepest throes of
the worlds most cruel war and no
one can foretell the countless thou
sands that may be crying for bread.
1t is up to the United States, the
worlds greatest, richest, and most
resourceful nation. to not only look
after the welfare of her own citi-
zens, but to give aid and assistance
in supplying food to countless thou
sands of suffering humanity in the
torn and stricken war zone. The
great agricultural resources of
America must prepare to assume
this burden. Every one of us must
do our bit. Every acre, every nook
and corner must bear its share. 1t
is lucky that in poultry we can pro-
duce the cheapest and most quickly
produced meat of all the various
sources of our meat supply. Here, we
have an opportunity of producing an
extra one hundred million pounds if
the American farmers, the fanciers
and breeders will give their atten-
ton to Matching during the months
of May and June.
1t is a well known fact that the
available supply of meat products is
today the lowest in our country, per
capita, in the history of the United
State. In order to meet the ex-
tremely dangerous condition, We
have within ourselves a wonderful
opportunity OF aiding what may
prove to be a worldwide cry for
food Let us all join enthusiastically
in the propaganda of helping in the
probable time of need, by putting
forth now every effort to meet. in a
measure, the demand that is sure to
come for untold quantities Of food
stuffs. Never in the history of the
world will there be a greater de-
mand than in the next twenty-four
months that are to follow.
For the past twenty-four months
we have been killing the goose that
has been laying the golden egg. and

ITALIANS ANl||jI'' ''' MAINTAIN
 PRESSURE
TRepubiican A. p. Leased Wi.e1

Heavy fighting for the possession of Monte San Gabrielle, and other impor- tant positions northeast of GoriZia still is in progress but the Italians are pressing home their attacks despite desperate resistance.
 Although suffering heavy losses, the Austrians are battling tenaciously for the height positions. General Cador- mas latest report, however, says that the Italian pressure is continuing de- cisively. The Italians have added 200 more to the number of prisoners taken in the fighting here.
 On the Carso and in the region of the Hermada. the Austrians have stopped their unsuccessful attacks, but the artillery battle rages necessarily, making the whole region an inferno Only local infantry actions for the pur- pose of strengthening out their lines have been carried out by the Italians
 The Italians have already taken 30 600 prisoners and the total losses of the Austrians are estimated at 10000 Northeast of GoriZia the Austrians have been on the defensive In the re- zion of the Hermada, their offensive efforts have failed with great losses.
 German cavalry has been engaged with Russian rear guards at Zegevold, 40 miles east of Riga, but apparently the German advance in force has slack ened. Around Friedrichstadt, about fifty miles southeast of Riga, the retir- ing Russians have set fire to several villages.
 There has been no infantry activity on q large scale on the western front. North of F'rezenberg, in the Ypres re- zion, the British have been compelled to withdraw from the positions occu- pied on Thursday. Around Lens the Canadians have been engaged in hard fighting with the Germans On q part of the sector west of Lens German | counter attacks resulted in gains but on the southern end of the sector the l Canadians held and extended their po- l sitions.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.-President Wilson tonight placed an embargo, eff fective September 10, on the eXporta- tion of coin. bullion and currency. At the same time he authorized the secre- tary of the treasury to license such eX- portations where, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, they are no. harmful 10 the public interest.
 The embargo. which applies to all nations, places absolute control over gold exports in the hands of Secretary McAdoo and the federal reserve board. Officials believe that the measure will go far toward conserving the huge store of gold accumulated in this country since the beginning of the war. store which recentlv has been drawn upon rather heavily by Japan, Mexico and Spain.
 Strict adhesion to the embargo is regarded as unlikely and undesirable. Curtailment, how ever, of the free movement of gold to the Orient, appears probable. For some time past treasury and reserve board officials have viewed with some concern the tendency of gold to flow away from the United States, a movement which started with the fi- Eancing here of the allies. Recently the federal reserve board requested the bankers of the country to aid, so far as possible, in checking the growing exports
 The presidents proclamation amends and supplements his general export embargo proclamation of August 27 Appended to it Is an executive order providing that applications for the ex portation of coin, bullion or currency shall be made to federal reserve banks and passed uper finally by the federal reserve board.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 7.-The American Alliance for Labor and Dem- ocracy organized three weeks ago with President Wilson's stamp of ap proval. concluded it's big loyalty con- ference here tonight with the election of officers and the adoption of a decla. ration of principles.
 The alliance, composed of the na tion's labor leaders and having as it's double purpose the crushing of dis loyalty and the solidifying of labor in the war for democracy, elected as it's leader Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor.
 The outstanding provisions in the declaration of principles include:
 Suppression of disioyalty and pro- German propagandists.
 Qualification of labor behind the government.
 Conscription of wealth as well as of men.
 Heavy taxes on incomes, excess profits and land values.
 Government control of industries in case of labor disputes.
 Action against speculative interests which enhance prices of necessaries of life.
 Insurance for soldiers and sailors. Equal suffrage. Endorsement of President Wilson's decision not to permit the war to be made an excuse for lowering labor standards.
 Declaration that wage earners must have a voice in determining conditions
 under which they give service, must be represented in councils conducting the war and at peace negotiations. The overshadowing issue" the dec laration says, lis preservation of de- mocracy. Either democracy will endure and men will be free or autocracy will | triumph and the race will be enslaved. To compromise now would be to SOW seed for a bloodier war" A committee was appointed to eX- | tend aid and encouragement to new Russia. It is composed of Mir. Comp | CTS, Frank r. Walsh.

Damaging Evidemce Admitted Against GOUeYM0y Ferguson

Sterling testified that his company bought 3,26O acres of land in Liberty county from Governor Ferguson and H. P Mansfield of Hopton. Litigation arose over the title and while this was on, the money from lumber cut off the
 land was placed in escrow in the Tenn pie bank, about $24,000 in all. Sterling said he never gave his consent to the
 governor using any of this money. Mansfield followed Mir. Sterling and corroborated the statement about the
 escrow fund. He said about two weeks ago he sued the governor for his share of the escrow fund which intimately
 was decided as belonging to the lumber company

GOVERNMENTS STRANG[E HOLD
 LIN THE 1. M. M.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Sept 7-Numerous indictments for conspiracy to thwart the governments war plans appear to be in prospect as a result of Wednes- days nation wide raid of Industrial Workers of the World offices by de- partment of justice agents. Evidence is said to be fast accommodating to support the belief that a gigantic con- spiracy has existed for some time to cripple the government in carrying on the war, that it's ramifications have ex- tended into virtually every state and that numerous antiwar activities which appeared to emanate from many sources, in reality had their fountain head in a single group of conspirators.
 Anti draft demonstrations, crippling of war industries by so-called labor disturbances, burning of crops and continuous preachment of anti-ally sentiment, intended to embarrass the government and retard the exercise of it's full strength in prosecuting the war, appear, from recent disclosure, e,, to have been included within the scope of the alleged conspiracy.
 Into the formation and the workings of this alleged conspiracy, the depart
 ment of justice has begun an inquiry LlOIe COulpItHtIlSlVe, II Is SdlQ. than any launched since this country's en- try into the war
 How closely the anti-war activities and propaganda have been inter- related is to be determined largely by the federal grand jury, now sitting at Chicago, Investigating documents seized in raids Wednesday of l. w. w. and socialist offices of that city. h. dications are that the alleged con- spiracy had it's origin in Chicago and for some time was actively directed , from that city.
 There are also indications that Ger

 have not accumulated documentary evidence which apparently supports | Continued on Page Two)
