DISTRICT "DD ITS BIT"
In REVOLUTIONARY WAR

That what is now the District of Co
lumbia contributed its quota Of volun-
teers for the Revolutionary War. and this
quota distinguished itself, was brought to
light in a paper prepared and read by
Selden Marvin Ely, historian Of the Sons
of the American Revolution before the
Columbia Historical Society last night at
the Shoreham Hotel.
To quote Mr.. Ely, Congress did the
people of the District an injustice by
calling them tax dodgers. They did their
bit like the neighboring communities"

GOOD CHICKEN FEED
FROM LAWN CLIPPING

Grass clippings are an excellent green
feed for chickens. The backyard poul-
try flock of Il family often lacks suf-
ficlent green feed. with a consequent
reduction of eggs and meat production.
With the easy availability of lawn clip
pings the city poultryman can always
have green feed through the summer
for his chickens.
The flock can he fed daily as much
OF the green clippings as they will eat.
II any continued bowel trouble shows,
tn" amount should be reduced The
remainder of the clippings can be al
lowed to dry and fed moistened during
the time between lawn cuttings.
Amounts in excess can he dried for
winter use. Dried grass clippings are
Il good green feed for winter. They
can he dried and stored in sacks These
dried clippings, moistened and fed to
the flock are a Very fair substitute for
the succulent green feeds of summer.
