If the producers of eggs and poultry
for the table are doing their utmost to
increase production of meat and eggs,
the easiest, shortest and surest way is
through general use of the most pro-
ductive types, that is, by the use on
the part of every poultry keeper of
the most productive types of his stock.
1t is not meant that there should be
wholesale replacement Of ordinary
stock by stock or strains celebrated
for extreme high production. In some
cases this may be done to advantage,
but with the majority of poultry keep
ers immediate gain in production must
be made by good use of such stock as
they have.
Get Understanding Of Type.
The first step toward the increase of
poultry products-whether meat or
eggs-through the use of the types best
suited tt production, is to get cor
rect understanding of type. Three dis
tinct types are recognized-the egg
type, the meat type and the dual pur-
pose or general purpose type, which is
commonly considered as an inter
mediate of the other two, though in
reality it is the primary type of which
the others are notifications.
Small size and great activity are

ions Of America troops are now en-
gagged in the great west front offensive.
The 32d is the latest TO enter the strug-
gle, General March revealed today in
his conference with correspondents.
Declaring that the objective OF our
forces IS still the enemy's army, Cen
eral March presented a confidential re-
port showing the success OF the Ameri-
can-Allied advance. An officer Of Cen
eral Muir's stan, back from Fere-En-
Tardenois, made the report, saying Il
did not seem possible TO gather all the
guns and materials abandoned by the
Germans While the ground was so
covered with German eorpses It was
impossible 10 proceed without walking
over them.
The officer said that the 2sth division
had made very rapid progress and had
advanced a considerable distance from
It's rear lines. The Rainbow Division,
IL was stated, was the organization
which a week ago distinguished itself
against the crack fourth Prusslan
Guards.
Discussing manpower, March said, all
troop shipping records went by the
boards In July, when more than 100000
men were sent over. This brings the
total embarkatlons TO past 10000
men and meaus the best months
record-that OF June-was surpassed
by 2i,OOO men.
Gen. Pershing now has in his area
over a million men. This means they
are under his direct control and are
exclusive OF forces brigaded with the
British. The divisions now In the big
offensive are the ist, 2nd 3rd, ith

John L. Hines Is now in the Nosges,
not far from the Swiss border.

reached France.

meter Of the salient has now been re-
duced 10 IS miles as against "a at the
start The depth Of the enemy's retire
ment is now i6 miles.
Since Wednesday the Germans have
been forced to further retire, the

Seattle, Wash.-C. o. Morrow. pres
ident OF the ElliOttray Shipbuilding
company. suffered something Of .
shock the other morning. but ut that It
was nothing to the shock suffered BY
several prominent citizens who were
taking a stroll through the cOmpany's
big wooden shipbuilding plant.
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons Of rock salt u
used In building each Of the big wood
en- ships now under construction In
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be.
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt II a xhipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that
but 1t seems that there are a lot OF
prominent business men who didn't
There II now a suspicion that only .
very few residents east OF Railroad

to be sailed.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building In which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload

something Of humOrist. Il suppose
you're afraid the ships will get too

That's the exact TRUTH" said Mr..
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt. Some
OF them tasted 1t. The St0rehouSe0
contained 12O tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt

Red Cross Workers Refuse to
Retreat While There Is
Work To Do.
AMERICANS N HERO ROLE
Incident o. Early Spring Offensive Of
Huns On the eomme That Should
Make Americans Proud Of
1helr Men.

Washington.@The story Of the part
America and Americans played In aid
ing the British and the French during
the early spring offensive Of the Ger
mans ON the Somme can never be ade-
big to paint on one canvas. 1t IL only
BY describing the work Of individuals
and particular groups Of workers that
some idea Of the American effort and
it, effectiveness In this historic battle
can be brought home to the people
back home-and then only In Q small
way.
While 1t Is perhaps only very
small incident In the history Of that
great affair. the story Of how small
band Of American Red Cross workers
carried on" at one Of the evacuation
hospitals back Of the British front
should make Americans proud. When
all but a few Of the hospital staff had
left with the two hundred or more
patients and the Germans were ad-
vancing only q few miles away, four
American army surgeons, assigned to
the American Red Cross for work at
this particular hospital, declared their
intention Of sticking till h froze
over" And six Red Cross ambulance
and truck drivers, as we'll as several
American Red Cross nurses and aides
''stuck" with them. a. e:s
The Americans made their decision
not because Of sheer bravado. but be-
cause the hospital had the opportu-
0ltY Of AePvinR n few wounded sol.
diers from day to day-and could save
their lives. And ut this writing these
Americans are still there. giving much
needed medical attention to French
and British soldiers who are brought
back to this hospital because 1t is
the nearest one back Of that point Of
the line.
The big guns Of the British and
French have been planted in the rear
Of it-and then moved farther back.
The Boche airmen come over at night.
Ehs little group Of AmeEicans have
