some poultrymen put the beef scrap
before the young chickens at the start
without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such at lettuce, sprouted oats, al
,falfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Where the chickens are
kept in small bare yards, fine char.
coal, grit, and oyster shell should be
kept before the chickens all of the
time, and cracked or ground bone may
be fed. The bone is not necessary
for chickens that have a good range.

ONLY A BABY SIN ALL

Ouly DdDy SLldll,
Dropt from the skies;
Only a laughing face,
Two sunny eyes;
Only two cherry lips,
One chubby nose;
Only two little hands,
Ten little toes.
Only a golden head,
Curly and soft;
Only a tongue that wags
Loudly and oft;
Only a little brain,
Empty of thought;
Only a little heart,
Troubled with naught.
Only a tender flower,
Sent us to rear;
Only a life to love
While We are here;
Only a baby small,
Never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us,
God knOweth best.

NORMAL UNIVERSITY
OFFERS PRACTICAL COURSES

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 10
Following the course recommended
by the country's best educators, and
profiting by the experience of the
Dominion of Canada, which has
found it a poor policy to. encourage
young men under 2l years to give
up their schooling to go to war, the
New Mexico, Normal University has
prepared to encourage education
during the coming school year more
than ever before. The school has
reason to expect the largest attend
ance in it's history because of the
fact that the summer session, just
closed, showed a marked increase in
enrolment. 1t was the only summer
school west of the Mississippi to
show a gain, which demonstrates
that interest in educational matters
in New Mexico is growing SO rapidly
that the depressing effects of the
war are more than offset.
Because of the fact that many
young men teachers will be called
upon to serve in the army, positions
of responsibility hitherto held by
men in the educational institution
will be opened to the graduates OF
normal schools who are fully quail
fed, especially young women.
Should the war end within the ncvt
two or three years, male HIGH school
graduates Of this years classes, il
they enroll in the Normal Univer-
sitv this fa1l. will become eligible to
take many responsible educational
positions, srch as principals. supcr'n-
tendcnts and instructors in high
schools which will be untitled near
the close of the war-and before
they reach military age.
The Normal University long has
advocated and encouraged the pur-
suing of higher courses in normal
work. with the result that it has
many graduates who have attained
the HIGHEST degree of capabiIity, and
with the further result that educa-
ton in the state has been material
" advanced. There has been a
constant demand for these trained
teachers. Imagine how much great
er it will be during and Immediately
after the war!
The Normal University's president
DR.. Frank II. II. Roberts, is sincere
when he urges young women and all
young men who are below the draft
age to prepare for the career of ed
ucators. For this reason he has
strengthened his faculty and courses
and offers this coming fall stronger
attractions to students than ever be-
fore. In addition to courses in the
regular normal work. the school is
emphasizing the preparation of
Young men and women for instruct
ion in business courses, in domestic
science and household arts and in
physical training. 1t also is offer
ing instruction of a nature that
equips young people for business
careers. and many of its graduates
are filling responsible positions in
that line of endeavor.

ut goes without saying" said Mr.
Loomis, "that l believe in overlook
ing nothing which goes to insure alb
solute safety for passenger anc
freight trains and the crews who
handle them. This railroad COM
plies with all government and state
regulations and our inspectors are
constantly watching that these con.
Iditions do not change.
as this then not the ideal time to
cut out the duplication and re-dupli-
cation of our efforts by state and
government authorities? The state
commissions and the Interstate Com
merce Commission have hundreds OF
expert railroad men in their employ
whose only duties are the checking
up of our efforts to protect our own
people, the passengers who ride on
our trains and the shipments we
handle. Zeal for safety always is
commendable, but with the abnormal
demand for railroad men abroad
existing right now, and the certain
ty that we are going to do every
thing to keep the railroads moving
at the highest point of efficiency,
my point is that this over and super
inspection is one of those luxuries
we might forego for the period of
the war.
"Then there is the physical valua-
ton work being done by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. This
is tying up several thousand engi-
neers and other experts who are
needed badly. There is work of a
vital nature for them either here or
abroad, but the practical value of
what they are doing now is, to say
the least, extremely questionable.
and finally we have the so-called
full crew laws, imposing upon the
railroads extra men for train ser
vice which experience has proven
absolutely unnecessary. Happily,
New Jersey has taken the lead in
making the law less burdensome by
permitting the reduction wherever
the railroads can show the extra
men are unnecessary Pennsylvania
is expected to suspend the law dur
ing the war. II other states which
have enacted this foolish legislation
will follow suit, not only will our

MERCHANTMEN ARE STILL
GOING DOWN IN SEAS


London, Aug. 9-During the last
twenty-four weeks 473 British ships
Of over 1000 tons and l69 under that
tonnage have been sunk by mines or
torpedoes. Allowing 5000 as the ay-
erage tonnage for the first class and
1000 for the second, these 642 YES
sells represent total tonnage of APP
proximately 100000, or an average
of 100000 tons loss monthly.
If the present rate of sinking con
tinues British shipping in year will
be decreased by 100000 tons.
With the entrance of America into
the war the need Of transatlantic
shipping has increased immensely
The greater the number of troops
sent to this side the greater the
amount of tonnage requ red.
Transports a Heavy Drain
Says "The Westminster Gazette" :
Americas entry into the war must
make fresh demands upon the ship
ping of the world, and the plain fact
is that build as we may there IS lot.
and cannot be for a long time yet,
sufficient ships to do all the business
of the Allies The only remedy for
the condition is continuous selfde-
NAL Of the civilian population"
Some N nth, back, during debate
in Parliament, it was stated author
itatiyely that three tons Of shipping
are required for every British soldier
leaving these shores. Suppose this
were the basis for a million Americ-
ans landed in Europe. 1t would mean
50000OO tons of shipping deducted
from the total tonnage OF January,
1917 Add this to the losses of the
last six months and the seriousness
of the shipping prolem becomes
'trikingly apparent.
But it does not end there. France,
Italy, Sweden, Norway and Holland
have all suffered heavily in the last
six months. Against these losses
must be put the new tonnage seized
and built by the Allies, but, at the
best, it cannot exceed 2,5000W, leav-
ing a heavy deficit.
Tonnage Demands Greater
As the war is prolonged the de-
mands for tonnage multiply rather
than decrease, 1t grows clearer
every day that America must pro-
vide all the tonnage she requires for
the movement of troops, and must
build frantically to supply the needs
of her European Allies.

In the interest of public welfare

witnessed almost revolutionary steps
in the establishment of executive
dictatorship and coincident abdica-
ton by congress of its duties, pow
ers, and RESPONSIBILITIES. The cons
tant trend OF this administration has
been the strengthening of the exc
cutive branch of the government and
the weakening of the legislative.

willing to check this movement, con-

THE SHAME OF 1T

Discussing informally" such de-
tails of the murder at sea of the men
and women-including a number of
Americans-who perished by the
sinking of the Laconia by a German
submarine, certain Federal officials
remarked that included among the
dead were two American women
from the Middle West, section of
the country where cowardly pacifsm
has had its most offensive exhibition.
This suggestion is of the same
kind with the classical idea that max
ing railroad directors ride on the
cowcatcher would prevent railroad
accidents. The bitter shame of it
lies in the fact that any decent
American citizen who has enjoyed
the great reputation for honor, man.
hood, and decency which until now
that citizenship has always implied
should be capable of such sneaking
cowardice as has been shown. by the
majority in Congress of the United
States, which we must believe fairly
represents the disgraceful present
attitude of great clots of individuals
in many American>> communities.
That is the bitter shame of it all.
