lied to promote the destruction OF
the English, or house, sparrow, but
many Of the sO-called sparrow clubs
are really sparrow and rat clubs, for
the destruction Of both pests is the
avowed object Of the organizations.
A sparrow club In Kent, England, ac-
cOmpllshed the destruction Of $4,000
sparrows and 10000 rats in three sea-
sons by the annual expenditure of
but GO ($29,20) In prize money. Had
ordinary bountles been paid for this
destruction, the tax on the commu-
nifty would have been about 1850 lover
$4,000.
Many organizations already formed
should be Interested In destroying
rats. Boards Of trade, civic societies,
and citizens associations in towns
and farmers and wOmen's clubs in
rural communities will find the subject
Of great Importance. Women's mu-
nicipal leagues in several large cities
already have taken up the matter.
The league In Baltimore recently Sc

NATURAL FEED FOR POULTRY
Hens Should Receive Grains and Other
Milling Products, Meat Meals
and Green Stuff.

The natural food Of poultry consists
Of grains, insects, green forage and
grit, and accordingly in domestication
it is reasonable that the hens receive
cereal grains and other milling prod
ucts, and such animal feeds as meat
meals and skim milk, and should also
have an abundance Of green feed or
such substitutes for 1t as roots or
steamed clover. Oyster shells, grit and
plenty of fresh water should also be
supplied.

REPAIR MACHINES IN WINTER
Farmers Should Give Careful Atten-

for Next Season.

During the winter months farmers
should give careful attention to the
work Of repairing all machines which
will be used next eason Also, orders
for repair parts and new machines
should be placed as soon as possible.
This will acquaint manufacturers and
their agents with the demand in differ
ent sections and enable them to make
the best possible distribution. At the
same time it will eliminate expensive

NO WOOL is USED
in NEW CLOTHES

New York.-It looks as though the
wool conservation will be up to the
men. The good offices Of the French
ambassador, NJ. ~Jusserand, were asked
by the wool men here In order that
the French designers would gladly CO
operate with the American movement
for the slim silhouette aud the least
possible use Of wool.
However, it was not necessary for
the French ambassador to lay much
stress upon his request to Paris.
The French government had made
the same request to its designers as
the American government, and 1t was

compliance with that request that
created the narrow silhouette and the
short, scant skirt which came out in
French models last autumn.
At any rate, the request for the

yards of wool has been met in Paris
by an almost total elimination Of
wool In the new spring models.
Nine. Paquln, who is the head
Of the association of designers over
there, says that America need have
nothing to fear in regard to extrava-
gance with material in the new
clothes.
The silhouette is to be as slim as It
was In the directolre. Every materl-
al that can possibly be woven will
be used as a substitute for wool.
Irvine will be used for embroidery
whenever available, instead Of
worsted.
Therefore, with the Joining of hands
across the sea and no drastic excuse
for using wool, 1t is possible to pre-
dict that the early season will be filed
with gowns and suits of tussah, silk,
crepe de chine and artificial silk jersey.
What Men Can Do.
We women can wear thin materials
in spring and summer, but men can't,
or won't. Enormous quantities Of
wOrsteds are consumed for their suits
throughout the year.
The army OvercOats which were
supplied by the thousands and took
up a great mass of wool, were the
first to come under the ban Of ex-
~travagance rs soon as the soldiers In
France found that they were too long
for the mud of Flanders and Picardy.
Other bits Of extravaganza which
are unnecessary are included in a
long list published by the manufac-
turers of mems clothing. A reduction
in yardage will result II these certain
features are eliminated.
From this list 1t would appear that
the manufacturers of mems costumes
have really gone into the cOnserva-
ton with determination. 1t is quite
astonishing how many small things
they have found that can be elimi-
mated without detriment 20 the ap-
pearance or s%erviceabllity Of the gar
ment.
Their list rs a lesson in thrift.
Think of taking flaps from the pOck-
cts Of vests, piping from seams, col
lars from vests, outside cash pockets
from coats, tunnel loops from trousers
and tabs from overcoat sleeves and
finding that the conservation Of mate
rial In these small features is enough
to outfit a great number Of soldiers.
1t is a relief to have the burden Of
extravaganza In clothes put yer on
the men. WOmen's shoulders have
borne 1t for two centuries.
Now, let the men do the work Of
economy. Let every have her
answer ready when she is accused Of
extravaganza and waste In the chang
ing Of fashions and the buying Of new
clothes.

expressed the view in these W cases
that the Utility Boar could disregard
the contracts, which makes ten mem
bers of the highest court In the state
In favor of this principle.
TIE decision of the Errors Court
upholds the same ruling as in the Su-
preme Court. 1t adds that the Legis-
lature OF the state delegated to each
municipality the right to enter into
ordinance contracts with these utilities
and hat to hold that by so giving this
power OF rate-flxing TO its creature II
had deprived itself OF the right there
after to modify the rate would be
tantamount to declaring that tho cren-
ture is greater than the creator. The
decision says that In imposing condi-
ions upon utilities regarding rates and
service a municipality was merely act
ing as an agent of the state or of the
Legislature, and that II would be
strange. indeed. II the state could NOT
e1fhority granted by II to the
municipalities and in the exercising or
its sovereign power cancel conditions
which Il had permitted them to Inn
pose upon these corporations which
had also been created by the state.
Originally the Public Utility Com
mission denied increased rates for
sewerage service to both the Ceilings
wood and Burlington Companies. Sub
sequently the denial order was carried
to the Supreme Court. which held thai
the Utility Commission could overlook
any contract agreement as to rates In
the matter of fixing new ones. This
ruling OF the Supreme Court was thet
carried to the highest court in the
state by the municipalities of Ceilings
