TABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Matched and reared
A. Any Tlme-Foods For Fat
tenina Fowls.

The production of table poultry is a
means by which many individuals can
do a great deal toward averting the
threatened meat shortage.
Table poultry is produced largely
as a by-product from focks where egg
production is the main object. Al.
though early spring matches are nee
essary to produce good fall and win
ter layers. chickens for table use can
be profitably Matched and reared at al.
most any time Of year.
Keep the growing chicks comforta-
BILE at all times. This is the only
method that will give the best results.
A chick once checked. or stunted, dur
ing its growing period will never
make as good development as the
chick which 10 kept growing steadily
at it's normal rate.
Chicks that are Matched during the
hotter portions Of the year should be
provided with ample shade, clean and
cool water, and fresh, succulent green
feed. The very young chick cannot
stand az much exposure to this hot
sun as can the earlier Matched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, Orpington, etc. are
best snited for table poultry produc.
ton. The cockerels from these breeds
may be caponized when they weigh a
pound and a half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to tho
| six or eight pound stage, or even
larger.
The fight, active breeds, such as
| I.eghorns and the "Creole" can be
| used profitably for the production Of
! broilers or small flyers. Owing TO
their nervous, active disposition they
F; increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to two
and half pound stage, and it Is rare
ly profitable to keep them beyond that
point.
From a standpoint Of economy, poul-
try is not ready for consumption until
It has been fattened, or finished"
! The finishing should be done by the
grower. A simple method is to con-
fine the birds to small yard for about
two weeks and feed them on corn
chops soaked In sour SKINNED milk,
giving three feeds day and all they
will eat. Where milk 10 not obtaina,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 8.
Wall street influence and fam

BILE today for the odds against
wealth CONSUMPTION In the senate.
Those favoring levy of from so
to 80 per cent taxes on war prof
its admit they are beaten-tem-
porarily-but say the country
will know eventually the cause
of solicitude for the purses of the
rich and the reaction will come
then.
Pressure of Wall street, first
noticeable early last week, has
been growing constantly, it is
claimed, until today, when vic
tory for the committee low-war
profits tax provision appears to
have been cinched.
! That many senators whose fam
. lilies or relatives are interested in
concerns making huge war profits
have suffered from the natural
influence of such a situation and
turned their votes to the aid OF
the committee bill, has stirred bit
ter corridor comment among
wealth conscriptionists.
These today began their finaI
drives to make riches pay the war
bills. The Johnson-Borah grouI
and La Follette's cohorts are now
fighting to force the committee
to increase it's present profits tax
schedule of 81 per cent on pro-
ceeds derived from the war.
Wednesday the senate votes on
all amendments covering wal
profits taxation and will clean ur
that section of the revenue bill.
Friday 1t will act on the income
section.

Musical notation is, like any

The only inspirational and Gre

Counterpart is the earliest form

ly, to write other parts than the
soprano in harmony with the
soprano part or whatever voice,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-"The
American wage-earner is alive to
the fact that this war to make
democracy safe for the world Is,
by the same token, war to make
American labor safe.
Everything the American wage
Garner holds dear-his liberty of
action, his independence in life,
his chances to achieve anything
his talents can win, his high
standards of living-all would go
by the board il democracy sue
cumbed to autocracy.
Every country has working
conditions peculiar to itself.
American standards and Prusslan
methods do not mix"
Germany's Deeds.
That is the Labor day message
of Louis F. Post, assistant secre-
tary, who in the absence of his
chief, William b. Wilson, is act
ing secretary of labor.
As a profound student of every
thing that appertains to labor,
Post is one of the authorities.
Long before he entered the gov
eminent service he had fought
labor's battles by voice and pen.
I'VE are often told he re-
sumed, how much Germany did
for her workers.
What she had was monarch
cal socialism adopted to defeat
democratic socialism by fighting
the devil with fire.
Small Wages.
"The German worker gets a
small wage compared with the
American wage-earner. His home
is humber. He is not as used to
bath tubs and electric lights. His
food is not as good. His stan
dards of living are not as high.
"And he is the victim Of a rigid
political-social caste system. Elk
cept in rare instances, 1t is hard
for a worker or his offspring to
climb up to bigger things. In our
country no avenue is closed to the
wage-earner. He can go just as
far and as fast as his abilities will
carry him.
"Only those American workmen
who are ready to become cogs in
the kaiser's military machine
pawns in his great game of achiev-
ing world empire by blood and
iron-should be lukewarm toward
the prosecution of the war against
Germany.
II am sure American labor will
meet the test. In peace times the
American wage-earner has always
greatly distanced Europeans in
quantity of production. In this
war the English, French and Ger
mans have greatly increased their
production. / think American la
