not be grown under such conditions.
The hens will usually lay well for

placed with farm-grown pullets.
1t is known as matter Of expert
ence and observation that town and
city people who have to figure costs
Of food closely have not been accus-
toned to use eggs freely except In the
season Of flush production and low
prices. A great many such families
can keep a few hens In the back yard,
and even with low production get
many more eggs than they have been
accustomed to use.

Ducks for Meat and Econ.

On general farms ducks can b

As source Of income. however, they
do not appear to be as well adapted
for the average farm as chickens, but
under certain conditions they are good
money.makers. The demand for ducks
eggs is more limited than for hens

usually bring a good price, their mar
ket is also more limited and Is mostly

Intensive duck farming on a largo

ducks, which are kept extensively by

Moreover. vessels which returned to
Atlantic ports about the time the Cy-
clops was due. reported that unusually
stormy weather had been encountered
in southern waters.
Explains Silent Wireless
The theory that the Cyclops suddenly
went down in storm is about the only
theory that adequately would explain
her failure to wireless in case Of dan
ger. The fact that no radio calls ever
came from the vessel is one phase that
characterizes the disappearance Of the
ship as one of the most mysterious IN
modern sea annals
Leaving the West Indian harbor on
March 4 the Cyclops was expected to
touch at an Atlantic port on March 13.
When attention was called to the fact
that she was a few days overdue no
anxiety was felt, because it was known
she had one engine out of commission.
However, when a week passed and there
was even no news that she had been
sighted, q feeling of great apprehen-
sion swept over the Navy Department.
Every effort was made to find her, but
on April IA the department gave per-
mission to publish the facts, which
long had been withheld.
Secretary Daniels still clings to the
hope that the mystery will be cleared
but there are not many in the depart
ment who share his view

HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
May 10 {By MaiD.-Austrian prisoners
captured in the patrol raid along the
mountain front tell of the intense
activities which centre at Trent, the
railway centre of concentration. where
al the Austrian men and supplies are
brought down for use in the Brenta
valley, Lagarina valley and all along
the mountain front.
The city itself, they say, is huge
military camp which extends ten miles
southwark to Calliano, and eastward
through the Sugana valley, which is
the great artery leading to the Brenta
valley and the plains of Italy. The
railways have been trebled, so that
this whole section is joined by a net
work of railway sidings and connec-
tions.
The military administration is car
ried on chiefly at Trent, the headquar-
ters being in the Pretoria palace, near
the famous old cathedral of Trent,
where the Council of Trent was held.

and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
Is pure and greaseless), and Is better
than tho most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair ana scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

Jones, a farmer living two and one
half miles southeast Of Dunbar was
found dying at his home late Wednes-
day afternoon from the effect Of a
revolver shot wound in the head which
he had fired evidently with suicidal in
tent earlier in the day. Mystery sur
rounds the cause Of the suicide, there
being no witnesses to it. The body
was found by Albert Gunderson, 4
ne.ghbor who came to Jones' home,
where the latter, who was a widower
lived alone. DR.. Ward, Of Gilman, was
called. He found Jones. who had
every appearance Of being dead, still
gasping, but he died few minutes
later. at about o'clock.
One bullet from q 3S-caliber revolver
had been fired into his head, entering
behind the right ear and coming out
thru the skull above the left ear. The
revolver, with one exploded shell in it
was found by the side of the body.

1t unnecessary to hold an inquest.
Suicide Had Been Planned.
1t seems probable from the condition
in which the body was found that the
suicide was planned. Gunderson, who
found the body. had cattle pastured
on Jones farm and while going to see
them he stopped at the house. Find
ing no one about he went to the rear
porch. the screen door Of which was
closed and fastened on the inside.
Jones' body was lying on it's back on
rug that was soaked with frozen
blood. From the position Of the body
DR.. Ward thought 1t very probable
that the suicide had been committed
probably in the forenoon. The fire in
the kitchen stove, which had been
built evidently that morning had gone
out.
