COMFORT IN HEN

Prepare in Early Fall for Cold,
OisagreeabIe Weather When
Fowls Are Indoors.
ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER EGGS
Fresh Air, Dryness, Sunlight, and
space Enough to Keep chlekens
contsnted Are Of Importance
Make Roof WatertIeht.

During the summer the poultry.
house question has not given the poul-
try keeper much concern. The chick
ems have had the freedom Of outdoor
life most Of the time and just so they
had q clean, airy place. free from
yermin, and covered with a good roof
to keep out rain. was about all that
was necessary. But as winter ap-
proaches and weather conditions are
such that the fowls must be confined
more, 1t is essential that their indoor
quarters be made n comfortable as
possible This Is one Of the requisites
Of winter egg production.
The prime essentials In poultry
houses, according to the United States
department of agriculture. are fresh
air, dryness. sunlight and space enough
to keep the birds comfortable. The
particular style Of house Is not i'm

results In the South. but it is prefer
able to have more open and conse-
quently less expensive houses ip the
South than In the North. The loca-
ton should have good water and air
drainage 80 that the floor and yards
will be dry, while the house should not
occupy a low pocket or hollow in
which cold air settles. When It is
possible. southern or southeastern
exposure should be selected. although
this is not essential II there is any
good reason for facing the house in q
different direction.
Importance Of Roof.
The roof is the most expensive but

house, and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have a one-third

the roof.
The shed or single-slope roof is
adapted to houses up to 16 fest In
width. It Is one Of the easiest styles
to construct. It allows a high front
to the house. and furnishes a north
ern slope for the roof on which roofing
paper will last longer than on a roof
which faces the south. The combina-
don and semimonitor roofs are adapt
ID for buildings from 16 to "a feet
wide, while either Of these styles, or
the monitor and the gable roof. may
be used for wider buildings. The
combination roof on a house over 10
feet wide gives the best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
Of surplus air space, and gives a neat
appearance to the buildings; while the
semimonitor and monitor types are
best for wide houses which have a CEN

PUTS CURB ON HUNS
FOES CRITICISM OF U. s. HALTED
BY CENSORSHIP.
Gen. Dickman Abruptly Stops German
Propaganda in District Occupied
by the Yanks.

Coblenz, Dec. 21.-German propa-
ganda and the tendency to criticism of
conditions in the district occupied by
the American forces have been abrupt
ly checked by the establishment Of
censorship by Major General Dickman
upon the newspapers and the theaters.
His act was the first indication that
the Americans purposed tightening
their grip on local affairs.
The regulations governing the press
formally were made public, but those
which apply to the theaters were COM
municated verbally by Col. r. H. Will
liams, chief Of the intelligence depart
ment, who also explained personally to
the newspaper owners what was ex-
pected Of them.
The managers Of the theaters, rang
ing from opera to moving-picture pro-
ductions were informed that there was
no objection to their giving perform

were made to inject propaganda or
criticism, either directly or by inuen.

otherwise undesirable, would be tOl.

To the newspaper owners 1t was
pointed out that the question of wheth-
er they offended or not lay with them
that the Americans would not be
bothered with censoring the publica.
tions before they were issued, but thai
the first six copies from the press
should be delivered to American head
quarters. Meanwhile the running of
of the edition could be continued. Il
it were then discovered that the regu
lations had been violated, prompt pun
tive action would be taken.

MAY SINK HUN NAVY
U. S. AND GREAT BRITAIN AGREE
TO END PERIL.
Action Would Result In Avoiding Con-
tentlon and Support the Presl-
dents Declaration.

Paris, Dec. 20.-The American del
egates to the peace congress have re-
solved to advocate the sinking Of the
surrendered enemy warships and resist
any proposition to distribute them on
the basis of naval losses.
This announcement is made by those
In close touch with the American rep
resentatives, who, 1t is added, feel that
such a position would result In avoid
Ing contention and materially support
President Wilson's declaration that the
war was not based on aggression or
the acquisition Of property.
England, through Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord Of the admiralty, had pre-
viously acquiesced in the American
plan to destroy the captured or sur
rendered warships, and, 1t is declared,
will continue to support the United
States. although 1t Is expected that
some Of the lesser naval powers will
demand that the prizes be distributed.
Washington, Dec. 20.--A resolution
asking the state department to inform
the senate whether the American
peace commissioners are advocating
destruction Of German warships or
other enemy property, and. If so, by
what authority, was introduced by Mi
nority Leader Lodge, and, without dis
cussion, was left on the table.

Farewell Address on Battle
ship New York.

London, Dec. 20-The American
battleship squadron attached to the
British grand fleet displayed a spirit
of true comradeship throughout its
period of service, declared Admiral Sir
David Beatty, the commander in chief
Of the grand fleet, in farewell address
on board the U. S. S. New York on
December 1, the day the squadron was
detached from the grand fleet. All
hands had been called to muster on
the forecastle t9'hear Admiral Beatty.
'T could hnox let the Sixth battle
squadron go without coming on board
the New York and saying something of
what feel at this moment of your de-
parture," said Sir David. "What 1 say
1 hope you will understand comes from
the heart, not only my heart. but the
hearts of your comrades Of the grand
fleet. I want first of all to thank you,
Admiral Rodman, and the captains and
officers and the ships companies Of
this magnificent squadron for the won
have given me and my admirals and
the assistance you have given us in
every duty you have had to under
take.
"The support which you have shown
is that Of true comradeship and in
time Of stress that is worth q very
great deal. I want to congratulate you
for having been present upon day un-
surpassed in the naval annals Of the
world.
II know quite well that you, as well
as your British comrades, were bitterly
disappointed at not being able to give
effect to that efficiency you have so
well maintained. 1t was a most disap-
pointing day. 1t was a pitiful day to
see those great ships coming in like
sheep being herded by dogs to their
fold without an effort on anybody's
part
Il have always had misgivings and
when the Sixth battle squadron became
part of the grand fleet, those misgiv-
ings were doubly strengthened and
knew then they would throw up their
hands. Apparently the Sixth battle
squadron was the straw that broke the
camel's back.
During the last II months you have
been with us we have learned to know
each other very well. We have learned
to respect each other. / want you to
take back a message to the Atlantic
fleet that you have left very warm
place in the hearts of the grand feet
which cannot be filed until you come
back or send another squadron to rep
resent you. You have given US sam
pie of the Atlantic fleet, which, think
the Atlantic fleet, efficient as it is, will
find it very hard to reproduce.
81 thank you again and again for the
great part the Sixth battle squadron
has played In bringing about the great
est naval victory in history. I hope
you will give this message to youl
comrades: Come back SOON

Reserve in speaking about ourselves

retirement for communion with God
is not natural to flesh and blood; it
fails to satisfy the demands for ex-

enter so largely into much of our mod
ern religion. But let US be sure that
it is a true note of the presence of
Christ's resurrection power that we
should be thankful to be often alone
