INCREASES PRODUCTION.
Another WatertOwn Man Tries the
New Thing On Hens.

w. L. Morton, Monroe street, has
sent an interesting letter to the Wa
tertown News in which he describes
the lighting system that is used in his
poultry coops to increase egg pro-
duction. Mr. Morton and j. A. Nc
knight are working together in this
project. He writes as follows:
Editor News: Was pleased to hear
of your coming over to learn particu-
lars about our poultry plant.
The lighting system is no expert
ment. 1t has been used at the New
York state agricultural school and in
creased egg production from Is to so
per cent. There is no charm about it.
1t simply brings summer-length days
to the hens. They ordinarily go to
roost at dusk, which is 4:30 p. NJ now,
and they remain there until daylight,
which is near a. m. They thus have
only time enough to consume food
sufficient to maintain bodily needs, so
have no surplus for egg construction.
Our pullets live in an open front
house and arise at 5: 80 a. M when the
light is turned on. They keep busy all
day, get their final feed at 7 D. M and
dig hard until $3.50 p. m. Then go to
roost, when the bright light is re-
duced to the DINNER. They are laying
eggs remarkably well for their age
and are increasing every day.

URGE HOME MARKET
FOR HOME PRODUCE

Homegrown Food for Home Tables"
is being urged as patriotic conserva-
tion action by the U. S. Food Admins
tration for Wisconsin upon all private
households and upon Wisconsin no.
tells, clubs and other eating places.
This measure begins a campaign to
create home market for FOODS grown
in the state. 1t will show how food
labor, and freight may be conserved
through the use of local foods.
One Of the greatest problems in our
domestic food situation is transporta-
ton. Never before has there been
such congestion as will take place
during this month and December. By
buying food produced by our local
communities, the strain upon our rail-
road facilities is lightened.

W. S. S. THE ONLY AlD:
CITIZENSHIP IS DENIED

The application of Christian Violin
resident of Lake Mills, for citizenship
was denied by Cirucuit Judge George
Grimm at Jefferson on Monday. 1t ap-
pears the applicant has been a resi-
dent of the United States for twenty
years, is worth about $4,000 besides
being the possessor of an automobile
and a comfortable home in the city of
Lake Mills; that he has never contri-
buted cent to the Red Cross, the Y.
NJ c. A. or any other activity and that
he has never purchased Liberty bond
or given support to the war in any
manner except by the purchase of one
War Savings stamp. Because of this
record, Judge Grimm concluded that
his sympathies with America were not
sufficiently strong to warrant the
granting of Observation-Disclosures

PEACE ENDS FIGHTING
BUT NOT FOOD SAVING

Is your wish to eat greater than
your ideals?
Our Allies, and 1SO,000,000 starving
peoples on the eastern front who need
our help must have large shipments of
food sent to them. They cannot even
plant crops until next spring.
Now that the war is over, we will
save food still = we will save even
more because we can reach more peO-
pie.
A clean plate means a clean con-
science-if it isn't piled too high.
Ovef-eating is cheating. Order light
meal-eat it all. Saving food is say
ing lives from starvation.
Can you waste food when you rea-
lie that?
Don't celebrate peace by making
others suffer. That's poor kind OF
a celebration.
The less you eat the less they hun
ger. Help them out.

RED CROSS MEETING
TONIGHT IS POSTPONED

Owing to the prevailing epidemic
of influenza the annual meeting of Wa
tertown Chapter, American Red
Cross, which was to be held at high
school building this evening, has been
indefinitely postponed
The American Rer Cross plan a
drive for universal membership dur
ing the week of December 1923. AS
matter of fact, the demands on the
organization from the suffering and
destitute people of practically every
country in Europe after more than
four years of war, will undoubtedly
be greater than the Red Cross has yet
been called upon to meet, and millions
Of dollars will be needed to carry on
the work
Instead of going to the people of the
United States, as in the campaign of
last summer, for specific amount of
money, the December campaign will
be for universal membership. 1t will
be known as the Red Cross Christmas
Roll CALL and the publishers and
newspapers of the country will again
be called upon for cooperation and as
sistance so that it may be highly sue
seccful. By universal membership it
is meant that the Red Cross hopes to
Der of the organization, even the chill
dren, who will be enrolled as junior
members.

XMAS TREE IS
PLANNED'HERE
Movement Under Way TO Inaugurate
Pleasing Custom At Christmas.
tide-WiH Have Council
Sanction.
A community Christmas tree

A community Christmas tree for
WatertOwn.
That is what is now being planned,
the initial move being taken in the
matter by the Euterpe Musical club
Of this city. Mayor Mulberger is in
accord with the movement and the
city council will doubtless give it's aid
and sanction. The movement, while
new in WatertOwn, has been observed
in many of our neighbOring cities in
the past and has always proven a
source of great delight to the inhab-
itants Of the cities or villages where
held.
Although the innovation is fostered
by the Euterpe club, it will be general
in nature and application. In case Of
bad weather the armory or some other
suitable building will be utilized, and
in case the weather be favorable one
of the city parks will be used. It is
most excellent custom and should be
encouraged in every way possible.
