In every household, no matter

which jlas feeding value, but
which if not fed. finds it's way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class Of DO
nestle animals which is suitable
for converting this waste mate
rial, right where it is produced
in the city, into wholesome and
nutritious food in the form of
eggs and poultry meat.
Each hen in her pullet year
should produce Ten dozen eggs.
The average size of tao back
yard flock. should be at least tea
hens. Thus eacil~-1!Ock would
produce in a year 100 dozen eggs
which, at the conservative value
Of p cents q dozen, would be
worth 225.
By keeping a backyard poul-
try flock the family would nat
only help in reducing the cost Of
living but would have eggs Of q
quality and freshness which are
often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced
by the backyard flock cost very
. little, as the fowls are fed large

 4 Fish And A
 O. O Vinegar

While making his rounds Monday night in the vicinity of the lake, Night Marshal Williams happened in to restaurant and found negro buying quart of vinegar. The negro had very attractive bottle, all shiny and bright, with the appearance of having just made the trip from the Bluff.
 7 Of all this Officer Williams thought little.
 About an hour later Officer Will Hams was visiting the wholesale grocery district on his rounds and was astounded to hear the high pitched voice of a gentleman emitting all sorts of phrases, plainly empha- sizing the fact that he was passing through siege of mental anguish. Like all good officers MT. Williams proceeded to investigate.
 "What's the matter, friend, some body got your wax?" he asked just like that.
 "No,' answered the perturbed one, ssbut some --- negro has just got my eight dollars and showed this quart of vinegar on me-"

A St0rp Anent B00se, Negro
 And MOnep

Late yesterday afternoon citizens residing on Main street were given a thrill when they saw a negro man running up the street, closely and hotly pursued by a white man, who, despite the fact that he was carrying quite a surplus of tonnage in the na- ture of spirits fermenti, managed to overtake the black.
 It developed that @the negro had separated the white man from his purse while they were mingling to- gether on Front street, couple of blocks away. The man said his purse contained fifty dollars, for which he was willing to run himself to death.
 When he overlook the fleeing negro he held him fast, asking lady who was witnessing the scene to telephone for an officer. In the meantime, af- ter he surrendered the purse, the ne- gro broke away and ran some more, and hasn't been heard from since. The white man counted his money and found a little more than twenty dollars to pay for his sprint.
 The name of the white man could not be learned, and the identity of the negro is also unknown.

ATTENTION HOUSEWIVES

Remember this, when you give an order to your grocer for "A pounds of flour that the Food Administra- tion expects him to sell you an equal number of pounds of corn meal, pota- toes, peas, beans, rolled oats, rice or other cereals, and when he tells you that you will have to buy the other items, don't slam up the receiver and get mad and say you'll order from the other groceryman, for he has the same instructions and can't accom- modate you either. Now be patriotic, do your bit by doing what the Food Administration has asked us to do and thus help to win the war.

HUN HANDBOOK
 |s DISCOVERED
Remarkable Documents on German Espionage Is Disclosed in Con
 nection With Spy Case.

Christiania, Norway, January 29.- Correspondence of The Associated Press) An offical handbook of German espionage, one of the most remarkable documents of the war, was produced as evidence in the course of the great Bergen spy case, which has just been ended in the courts with the conviction of six of the defendants.
 The handbook was found in the safe of Herr Paasche, one of the em- ployes of the so-called German Infor- nation Agency. Its title page bears the inscription Duties of the Espion- age Service" and it contains, in the words of the Court, s'the objects and methods of the German information agency in Scandinavia"
 The introduction says that impor- tant information can be obtained through the neutral or enemy ships which come to Scandinavian ports, regarding such points as minefields, minebelts, changes in lightships, etc By such information" it explains, tour U-boats can be shown not only safe routes, but also objects of at tack"
 The following is summary of one chapter:
 NThrough shipping only can we get to know the enemy's guardships where his ships are stationed, knowl- edge of his cruisers and other infor- tion. The best source is ship cap tain, but they are difficult to obtain The younger mates are easier to get asstheir wages are not high. But if neither of these is available, the most likely person on ship should be ap- preached. Monthly payment of 5O to 500 kroner is available. Captains on English passenger routes are us- ually paid 300 kroner. Mates on neutral tramp steamers between Eng land and France, 100 to 125 kroner.
 Much information can be gained from passengers also," says the hand book. The importance is shown of maintaining good connection with representatives of the neutral press. The hiring of commercial or other persons who travel in the enemy's country is suggested. The best

Manager Moss Says the Coal Situa- tion As It Concerns His Con-
 pany Is Not Relieved.

It's a good thing you're getting used to 'em, for Manager Moss of the Arkansas Light & Power Com pany says there's no telling how many more lightless days we will have. The day current was discontin- ued week ago on account of the coal shortage, and MT. Moss says the situation, so far as his company is concerned, has had very little relief. He is unable to receive coal ship ments on account of the terribly con- gested condition of transportation, which is being made worse by snow storms in the east and middle west.
 "We could not be running nov, !" MT. Moss said yesterday, If it were not for the Southern Cotton Oil Com pany, which let us have car of coal today. We regret the condition, but it is something that cannot be help ed. cannot say when the day cur rent will be restored, but hope it will not be many days before weather and transportation conditions allow us to resume normal running schedule. On one or two occasions during the day this and last week we had the day current turned on for short time, but this was for the purpose of mak- ing repairs in the mechanism of the plant or to locate other trouble, the remedying of which would allow us to give good night service"
