After the War-What?

Jasper in LeSies +4
 With the close of the war we shal have a sudden and steady demand 10 raw material like cotton. copper an food products from nations that hay been on short supplies, and especiafl from Germany with it's blockaded ports Germany usually prepares for the futur a long ways ahead. Heavy purchases o cotton, copper and other nonperishabl raw products have been quietly made am their ultimate destination will be Ger many. It would not be surprising if tn rapid rise in these commodities had beel due to liberal purchases made withou knowledge of the reas identity of tn buyer. We have learned how secretL and cunningly Germany deals in all it matters. It is unbelievable that it ha not been preparing all along to meet it necessities after the declaration of peace What will be our condition after tn war? The most observant men of affair differ widely in their conclusions bu substantial factors stand in cur favor namely:
 First, we have repurchased over g. 0O0, eco 900 securities formerly held abroad and on which we had to make annua interest payments probably of not les than $100, ,000O00.
 Second we have the worlds 1arges stock of free gold and have become tn worlds greatest lender.
 Third, we have the worlds largest sup ply of much needed raw materials fo the establishment of the ruin wrough by war, namely copper, cotton, oil an fcodstuffs, and these must be paid for il commodities or gold or securities. Fourth, we have been changed fron borrower to lender, as we have been en riched by enormous purchases made iron us. This increased our balance of trad tc fabulous amount, while warning ma tions were being impoverished. Fifth, we have been compelled to en large our industries and increase tn output of our mines, our fields and fac tories and hope to put our railroads O a better footing.
 The worst difficulty will be found Ii our lack of real statesmanship to mee the new and perplexing problems tha face us and others that will face u inevitably after peace has been de clared, for the drift toward socialist notions among those in authority ha it's serious menace to the public welfare

perience is altogether unnecessary. 1 do not mean that you can neglect them, or give them the indifferent care that you might give to a washing machine. But the incubator is so simple that children have gotten excellent results with them, and all that is required of the operator is that he shall follow the directions which accompany each machine and be punctual in doing so
 No incubator can vitalize infertile eggs or eggs which have weak life germs, and it cannot overcome conditions which may have had bad effect on the sggs before they were placed in the machine. It cannot offset the evils of weak breed : ing stock or injudicious feeding methods. Therefore, when poor hatches result it is well to look for other causes besides

Digging Out Foxes

Walter Prichard Eaton, in Harper's
 Magazine.
 The approved method of capturing fox puppies is to dig them out. It is not practiced hereabouts, but farther north, where fox farms abound, even the lum- bermen are such hunters. The efforts of the mother fox to save her little ones are sometimeh pathetic. A year or two ago, in the woods of northern Michigan. two lumbermen saw a foX's den and poked into it. Nothing happened. so they went on. Returning at night, they saw that fresh tracks led from this den to a newly dug burrow not far away, and surmised that the mother fox had moved her family. Thereupon they started dig gfng. As they dug they could hear the fox dging ahead of the m in the ground, and 1t became evident she was tunneling in a circle, to reach the en- trance ahead of them and escape. So one of the men dug ahead to cut her off, and the other dug behind her. The

pictures I used the same plan, which is very attractive, I think.
 There is a tremendous amount of personality in picture as much as in play on the legitimate stage the actors have just as much personality, too. There is William s. Hart, for in- stance. He is the most satisfactory actor on the screen to play for He is always emperamental with tremen- dously big effects, and the action de- manded in music as an accompaniment to his pictures is as vital as the action he puts into the play. Marguerite Clarke calls for Victor Herbert's light, airy music. Douglas Fairbanks is the most difficult screen actor to play for The mechanical piano really is the best accompaniment to his antics.
 q feel that the day of music in the movies has come into its own. The splendid orchestras in the big theatres of New York, Chicago and the west give evidence of the importance of good music, and it is not only enjoy able, but educational I believe that good music in the movies is as neces- sary as good music in the churches, and it is a distinct advancement in the hluSlcal Sltuatlon when fln1Shed and accomplished church organists all over the world are also movie organists and doing their best to promote and advance the standard of music.'
 Following directly in the observa- tions made by MT Hamrick in regard to the tremendous improvement in mu- sic in the movies. I will quote from an article in MT Freund's excellent paper, Musical America of recent date, in which an exhaustive and interesting show by John Alan Haughton appears. The story, which is entitled "Movies Discard Ragtime for Symphonic Mu- sic," is pictured with photographs of tx..n of Nrr..- 1,a,.l.,e i...-..L

pans to hold moist sand or water; oth- CTS have none. Some machines are built with a solid bottom, the idea being to crnserve the moisture within the eggs; others are built with slated bottoms, through which there is a constant cir culation of air. All types are in general use and all give good results. Ap- parently, the problem of moisture must be solved by the individual experience of the operator. Everything depends upon the design of the incubator, i,s lo- cation, the season of the year, climate and the external atmosphere at the time of the hatch.
 Efficiency in poultry raising demands that the keeper have a general knowl- edge of the external and internal mani festations of disease. If only for the security of the rest of the flock, he must know the causes of death. Next week S article tells how to diagnose the com mon poultry diseases.

CONSERVING HEN-POWER
 WITH AN INCUBATOR

sewing machine, the typewriter, and hundreds of other appliances too nu- merouS to mention. We have had to improvise these things because our man power was more or less limited. A desire for greater economy of pro- duction was the incentive for our in. ventions. Not only have we sought to have human labor, but we have en- deavored to cut down the toll of our animal labor. Or rather we nave in sisted upon getting the most from our animals. There is no better example of this fact than the incubator, with- out which our poultry industry could not have attained it's present magni- tude and importance.
 We have in this country close to half a billion domestic fowls. Each year the greater part of these fowls are killed off as meat. and a new gen eration is reared to take the place of the old one. The energy involved in this reproduction is enormous. It is so stupendous, words and numerals fail to measure it. It is done by two processes Natural and artificial. In the former, female birds are used to hatch and brood the young; in the lat ter, machines are employed to do this work, which they perform almost as successfully as the birds themselves.
 INCUBATORS VS. HENS
 Matching is not so much a question of which method produces the greatest number of chicks-the hen or the in- cubator? It is question of economy. The hens greatest value lies in the eggs she produces. If she is kept in laying trim, she Is a money maker. one of the best assets on the farm. If she fails to lay politically, she is an ex- pense, especially during these times of high prices for feeds.
 Very well, the hen cannot be ex- pected to lay and reproduce her young at the same time. If she raises a brood, 1t is at least two months task, and then another month before she is in physical condition to commence lay ing again. which she seldom does. be- cause by the time she has reared her brood, the hot weather is at hand and

WHICH MACHINE TO BUY

lO DO |
 The prospective purchaser of an incu-
 bator is sometimes perplexed as to which
 is the best machine for his purpose.
 Size, of course, is a leading considera
 ton. Choose one that will fill your
 requirements, but always buy a larger
 one in preference to one that may prove
 too small It costs very little more to
 run slightly larger machine, the ni-
 tial cost is not great, very little add-
 tonal labor is necessary. and usually
 the larger the machine the more accu-
 rately it will run.
 In regard to price. it is well to bear in mind that the value of the machine isl small compared to the value of the eggsl which it will receive during it's lifetsne It is poor economy to buy a machine simply because it is cheap. Buy one of the reliable makes The good hatches that it will produce will soon return it's initial cost.
 There are so many makes of incuba- tors on the market. and so many sizes, 1t would be impossiblt to describe them in a ssingle article Some are described as hot air machines others as hotwater machines. Then there are moisture and non-moisture designs. In principal they are all essentially the same. They have to be, for the reason that the whole theory of artificial incubation is based
 upon the fact that if fertile egg is kept for a sufficient period of time under cer- tain conditions of heat ventilation, moisture and position. it will be trans formed into healthy fowl.
 lncubators come in wide variety of sizes. from the small oil machines having a capacity of 50 eggs. to huge coal heated machines of many thousand egg capacity. Gas is sometimes used to generate the necessary heat and its fixtures may be fitted to the ordinary
 machine with few notifications. Elec- trtcity Is also used. and has proved eat- lsfactory; but it requires totally diff ferent principle of radiation.
 The hot-air heated machines are those in which fresh air is taken in at the
 lamp heater, warmed as it passes around the heated drum, which corresponds to the chimney of lamp. then passes through the egg chamber by means of a diaphragm in the ceiling of the machine In some machines the heated air simply passes over the radiator above the egg trays, and never actually enters the egg chambers
 Hot water machines are heated by tanks or system of pipes above the egg trays, similar to a hot water system Tor heating a dwelling. Tn practically
 all types of incubators the heat is sup piled or controlled by regulator, which, acting upon valve or damper. governs the admission of heat to the egg cham her These appliances are usually termed
 thermostats
 Whether moisture should or should not be supplied has never been definitely determined; both principles have their
 advocates. some machines are built with

HAS FINE RECORD
FOR PERSEVERANCE

Nurse Following Gradua-

Last Sundays Milwaukee Sentinel
had an interesting article about a
Ladysmith girl who is known to prac-
tically all our readers-Miss Frances
Hadden. A news item in recent
issue of the News-Budget in regard to
Miss Hadden's enlistment in the Red
Cross for service overseas was the

as follows:
Miss Frances Hadden, of Ladysmith,

Miss Hadden was born in Riverton,
Nebraska, March 13, 1897. She re-
ceived her primary education in her
fathers print shop, where she learned
the alphabet and how to set type at the
same time.
In 1906 the family came to Lady
smith, where her father, A. A. Had
den, purchased the Ladysmith News

SPAIN CHANGES FRONT

Recent Sinking of Two Spanish Ships
by Teuton Submarines Leads
to Unrest.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Great inter-
est has been created here over reports
that Spain may be about to break with
Germany.
Confidential reports have Indicated
that King Alphonso's country has been
ION the fence awaiting developments.
There is a strong German element in
the country, particularly in the army,
but reports show this element has been
greatly tempered by the commercial
classes of Spain.
Curtailment of raw materials to
Spain, hampering it's great manufac-
turers. also had contributing 1n1u-
ence toward changing public opinion.
Recent sinking of two Spanish
steamers by German submarines led
to considerable unrest in Madrid. Th1s
was followed by the internment OF the
crew of U-boat that sought refuge IN
a Spanish pert In spite of this the
Spanish cabinet. following a special
meeting, issued a statement declar-
ing that 1t was vital for Spain to main
tain it's neutrality.
The crudity of German diplomacy,
combined with the Teuton U-boat &C
tivity against Spanish ships, shortage
of food and raw materials and the
growing strength of the Allies In the
West, combined to win favor for the
Allies. Recently, reports here show,
even former pro-German newspapers
have exclaimed over the great work of
the American army and have ceased to
pirate of German military prowess.
