REASON FOR LESS CHICKENS
High Price OF Grain Has Caused Many
Farmers TO Part With Fowls--
Eggs Also Higher.

Because Of the present prices Of
grain, there is tendency this year on
the part Of poultrymen to keep fewer
hens and to raise fewer chickens. The
price of grain Is higher. now than for
years. Many farmers killed of their
fiocks last year and many are keeping
a smaller percentage than ever before.
They have not stopped to consider the
poultry situation seriously. While feed
has gone up 90 to 70 per cent during
the past year. eggs also have increased
In price.

STUDENT BODY
Arthur H. Hasche Enthusiastically
Received BY Business Col
lege Students.

Arthur III. Hashe was very en-
Enthusiastically received this morning
by the student body of the South Da-
kota School of Business. and delivered
a very Inspiring lecture along lines
most vitality affecting the future Of
the individual.
He stated that, at the beginning of
the war, patriotism was dormant i n
many people but revived at an in,
slant, and supported all war measures
to the greatest extent and we must
nov see that the ideals Of the nation
are maintained.
He Illustrated the origination of the
wax by saying that. during the days
of the cave dwellers, man was the
cole head of the house and was de.
pended upon for protection, then
came the days of small communities
when a band of men protected their
rights against aggressors, later larger
communities formed themselves into
better organized bodies for the protec.
ton of their rights. and SO on through
out the passing centuries until the
present time when we have a com
bination of communities and states,
thus making a great nation which
maintains an army for protection,
thus insnring the rights and liberty
of all men and M
He stated that this was not a war
for financial gain or territorial gain,
but a var of defense and justice to
all peoples and COUNT les. s.
He said the one thing that made
this nation able to support such a
vast army and navy was its economi-
cal condition, brought about by the
fact of it's great commercial and
social standing.
He cited the fact that any nation
to be strong, must be strong in
dividually, and was no stronger thar
its weakest individual.
IIe commended the student body
upon their wise decision to get q
training in business methods. He
said the fact that so many are Shy

which confront them, and until they
