THE BOY NEXT DOOR

The Buy NEAT DOOK
I didn't vote for Wilson; I never lik-
ed him much;
The golden pinch-nosed glasses gave
sort of dudish touch.

friends still more
But one thing that has changed me
| THE BOY NEXT DOOR
My life's been pretty happy, I've had
lot of joys,
There's been just one draw back; I
never had no boys,
But I've got little daughter, and l
know she has store
Of love and trust, and longing for
THE BOY NEXT DOOR
But when the fateful day arrived that
we knew we'd got to fight,

president was right.
l couldn't go to battle; I'm too old, and
stiff and sore,
But the first one that enlisted was
THE BOY NEXT DOOR
And by God, Pm right behind him,
with every cent I've got,
To buy him food and shelter and pow

And if God will just watch Ger him
and send him back once more,
I expect that I'll be daddie to

And with no sons to represent US and

NO INCREASE WILL BE
BE MADE In PHONE RATES.

Copies of the official order of the
corporation commission Of the state
Of North Carolina I'm the matter OF the
petition Of the Southern Bell Teie-
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Asheville Telephone and Teie-
graph company asking for permission
TO increase their rates, have Just been
received
The decision Of the corporation
commission. which is signed by q. L.
Travis, chairman. who has since re-
signed, is as follows:
"Since the hearing Of this matter,
the government OF the United States
,has taken over for operation all the
telephone lines OF the country, includ-
ing the lines of the petitioner in this
case. 1t is predicted that by operat-
ing all the lines under one combined
management the costs OF operation
will be materially reduced. If this
p1SUACIFOh 10 sISdAAZSUS as VIC AOpC ~
will be, there would be no necessity
for an increase in rates. We think
that no change should be made in ex-
listing rates until the matter Of gov
eminent ownership has been suflCf-
tently tried to determine whether or
mot any change in rates will be nee
essary. II it should become necessary
under government operation to in
crease the rates the government au-
! thorities can do so, If authorized, or
lin case they are not, could make ap-
plication to this commission.
I'VE therefore dismiss the petition
herein, without deciding the questions
involved one way or another, with
leave to the petitioner or the govern
ment whichever my be the proper
party to make a nav application at
such time as they may deem advis-
able"

SOLDIERS FROM FORTY-sIx
STATES ON CASUALTY LIST

Washington-Casualties among the
American troops in the severe fighting
in which they have been engaged since
July Is when the German offensive
was launched and halted at the Marine
are now being reported i'm the daily
lists from General Pershing, though
no estimate Of the total has yet been
received.
! Mondays army list contained 407
names, the largest number reported
lin a single day. OF the men named,
1908 were killed in action; 81 died of
wounds and 14s were wounded, 4S
seriously and 100 degree undetermined
The missing In action numbered only
8. In addition to the army list the
marine list today contained ten
names-9 killed in action and one
died Of wounds. ~~
/, Men from Is states were named In
the lists, with no predominating num-
Der from any one state. This was
taken to indicate that the casualties
were scattered through many units.
The states not represented in the lists
were Arizona, Delaware.

against the wall, as they take too much
floor space n set on the floor. One
nest should be provided for each four
or hYe hens. Straw or other material
used in the nests should be kept clean
and not allowed to become so low that
the eggs win strike the wooden bottom
OF the nest. This may cause the eggs
to break and viii start the hens to
eating them-a very troublesome habit
and one that is~very dih1cult to break
up once It Is formed.
A litter Of straw or leaves about
three o. four inches deep on the door
Of the house helps to absorb the drop
pings, and by feeding the grain In this
litter the hens are obliged to exercise
by scratching for it
Wire fencing is preferable to boards
as it is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to- hyover. IF cats prove trou-
bles0me, where one Is raising young
chickens, it may be necessary to cover
the top Of the yard with wire also.
This is. practicable for small enctOs-
ures. A board should not be used at
the top OF the wire fence as this gives
the hens a visible place to a1ight and
tends TO teach them to fly over. A s
foot fence Is high enough for most con
dItiOns, but IL the hens show q ten
dency to fy Owe such 9 fence the
flight feathers Of one Wing should be
clipped. The larger the yard which
can be provided, the better The hens
will do, az. it not only gives them bet
ter opportunity to exercise but also
makes It possible to maintain a sod
In the yard. In most cases MOI enough
yard win be available so that a sod
can be maintained. If the yard is fair
IL large it can be divided into two
and grNn crops such as oats,
wheat, rye or dwarf essex rape, allow
ed TO start In a yard while the hens
are confined to the other. The yard
should be turned or spaded up fire.
Quent1y, If not in sod, to keep 1t in
the best condition. This will not only
tend to keep down any odOrs which
might arise but also allow the drop
pings to be absorbed into the soil more
readily and therefore keep the yarC
In better condition for the hens.
Although it is necessary to keep the
hens confined to their yard most Of
the time, 1t is sometimes possible K
| let them out where they may rangC
on the lawn for an hour Oh so during
the evening when someone can be q
hand to watch them, or at certain sea
| sons Of the year to allow them to ruH
In the garden plot. The next articlt

The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-08-16

Graham county has given one life in the cause of freedom and Christiani ty. The casualty list from overseas of Tuesday carried the name of Fer nando Acedo of Solomonville who was reported as severely wounded in action and as having died from his wounds. Fernando Acedo lived seven or eight years at Solomonville and for number of years was employed on the Gillispie ranches. He was an industrious young man and is spoken of in the highest manner by those who knew him. His mother, Mrs. c. Gastello and stepfather c. Gastello are residents of Tucson where they moved several months ago. Acedo is, according to reports, the first Graham county man to lose his life in action"
