Leona M. Jantzen


Candidate for the Office of Register
of Deeds, while not a member of the
war board, is in sympathy with all the
activities to sustain the government
and is helping in every way possible
she can to bring the war to a success
full conclusion. While other counties
in the state have elected ladies, at
different times in years past, to i'm
portant offices, all of whom have been
a success, no lady has held a county
office of any kind in Ellis county. In
most things Ellis county is as progress
sive and up-to-date as any county in
the state, then why not elect a lady
for Register of Deeds.
Miss Jantzen having been an en-
ployee in both the Register of Deeds
Office and the County Clerks Office
for several years, Is well known
by nearly every voter m the county,
and they also know that she is abso-
lutely competent and reliable in
every respect. She will look strictly
after the business of the office-be on
the job all the time, unselfsh in
her devotion to duty.
If you cast your vote for Leona NJ.
Jantzen next Tuesday, you will be
casting your vote for a worthy lady,
and if she is elected, of which there
is little doubt, you will never regret II
The ladies should especially rally to
her support
As to the balance of the RepubI-
can ticket from Governor down to the
smallest office, they are all competent
for the offices to which they aspire
All one hundred per cent loyal and
one hundred per cent American. You
can make no mistake by voting the
ticket straight from top to bottom.

BACKYARD POULTRY
BY Feeding Table Scraps to Small
Home Floeks HousehoIders May
Secure Cheap Ega Supply.

Raising small backyard fiocks OF
chickens on table and kitchen scraps
TO produce the family's eggs and part
OF its meat supply is a solution of one
OF the problems OF the high cost OF
living, according to Farmers Bulletin

hens, says the bulletin, should produce
eggs enough. where used economical
~, for a family of four or five persons
throughout the entire year except dur
ing the molting period of the fall and
winter. BY the preservation in water
glass Of surplus eggs produced during
the spring and early summer, even
this period of scarcity can be provided
for. The use of scraps in feeding will
keep the cost of maintenance relative
ly low, since only small quantity Of
supplemental feed will be necessary.
There Is no necessity for the back
yard poultry flock to become a nui-
sance to neighhors, says the bulletin
If the house and yards are kept reas-
onably clean there will be no annoy
ing odors. The noise made by male
birds can best be eliminated, It is
suggested, by the elimination Of the
male bird himself The fact that there
is no male in the flock will have abb
solutely no effect on the number of
eggs laid by the hen.
One Of the general-purpose breeds,
such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, or Orpington, is
preferable to the smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns, il the flock is to con-
tribute to the family meat supply as
well az to furnish eggs. II the pro.
duction of eggs is the principal aim OF
the poultry farmer, however. it will
pay to keep one of the egg breeds.
since they eat less than the larger
fowls City poultry keepers usually
will find it most advantageous to pur-
chase pullets in the fall for egg pro
duction.
The housing facilities of the back
lot need not be elaborate and may, in
fact, be constructed from large pack.
ing cases or piano boxes. A floor
space of from to 4 square feet per
bird is ample in the houses. The yard
space should be from 20 to so square

BUYING CHINA

For the young housekeeper who
must begin her home on closely cal
culated expenditures it is often wiser
to buy her china from what is called
by the shops open stock or an
open pattern than to procure an
entire set of eighty or one hundred
pieces Of cheap grade. To buy in
this way means that one may select
as many and just such pieces as oic
wishes, and one may also renew any
Clipped or broken ones.
AS America is not producer of Ia
Bile china to any extent in fact, really
manufacturing only potcelainS--thc
imported wares, like other imported
th,ngs, have risen in price, and some
are difficult to obtain.
From the Orient one still draws
three good breakfast or luncheon
chinas These three kinds are known
as Canton. Howe and Sedji. There Is
also Cold Medallion ware, vivid in
color and more elaborate than the 9th
