HENS ARE
LOAFING;CA
BE MADE TOLAY

Thousands Of hens are eating high
priced feeds and loafng, and will con-
tinue to loaf until spring, simply be-
cause they are being fed no animal
food in their rations These hens, even
if mature and are being fed va
riety of grains, green feed, fresh wa
ter, and housed in comfortable quar-
ters, will lay few if any eggs until late
winter, unless they are stimulated with
animal food.
About 10 per cent of the entire ra-
ton should be meat scrap, fresh
ground green bone, or as much skim
milk as the hens will drink.
If your hens are loafng see to it
that they are kept at work scratching
much Of the time every day in deep
litter for mixed scratch grains. Then
provide a dry mash of equal parts by
weight of wheat bran, wheat middlings
cornmeal, and meat scrap, also sprout-
ed oats or some other green feed like
cabbage, stock beets, or silage. Do
not forget oyster shell, grit, and fresh
water; then watch the hens get into
the laying game-Farm and Fireside.

Who ILLTAG

Millions of school children through
out the United States are on the tip
toe of expectation. Who is giong to
have the honor of tagging the mayors
shovel? That is the absorbing ques-
ton in the schools. And back of it all
is the great nationwide educational
and conservational school-child cru
SADIE for saving coal
The L. S. Fuel Administration has
weighed the educational values in its
Tag Your-S Shovel" Day campaign.
Thru the cooperation of the superin-
tandents of schools, it has enlisted the
tremendous force of 20,350,OO0 school
children in this drive against Coal
Famine.
Tag Your Shovep Day, January
80, becomes the children's Draft Day,
the day of their enlistment in the
world war in defense of childhood, the
dav of their partnership in national i
deals and IN national duties.
The government is placing & trust
in the hands of the school-boys and
the schoolgirls. 1t is relying upon
them, as an arm of the service, to be-
come Little Missionaries of Thrift, to
carry to their own homes the message
"Save Coal" and to be the consecrat-
ors of the family coal-shovel to the
worldwide cause of humanity.
AS effective as great army with

school-children, the largest organized
unit in the world, in their compelling
drive against Fuel Waste And Coal
Famine on January 3Oth. Heac them
come.
The government authorities at
Washington have set their heart upon
this cooperative attack by the chill
dren against Coal Waste, not only be-
cause Of the total actual saving of fueI

Why Workingmen Support the War
BY JOHN R. COMMONS. Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin.

Never before has democracy for
wage-earners- made so great progress
as it has in the nine months that we
have been at war. If this continues,
American labor viii come out Of this
war with the universal eight-hour day
and with as much power to fix its own
wages by its own representatives, as
employers have.
Anybody who says that this is a
.capitalistie- war simply does not see
what is going on. Capitalists are be-
ing controlled in their profits and in
the wages and hours of laborers with
the help of leaders whom the working
men themselves have put on the vari-
Gus war boards.
In no other war have the govern
,ment and organized labor worked to-
gether as they are doing in the United
States today. In every department of
government that employs labor or
fixes the price that manufacturers
shall charge, there is leading official
of the American Federation Of Labor
on the committee who has as much
power as the representative of the
capitalists. The president Of the
United Mine Workers of America is
assistant to Garfield, the fuel admin
.1stratOr. The president of the Build
ing Trades Unions is on the EmeTgen-
cy Construction Board for building
ships A leading organizer of the
American Federation Of Labor is on
the great War Industries Board which
controls all kinds of manufacture A
trade unionist Is Secretary of Labor.
These and many other trade union
ohclalS were placed there by the trade
unions themselves, because these war
boards have become the big employers
of labor, Or because they control the
wages that private employers pay.
The President Supports Labor
All through these Industries Presi-
dent Wilson is enforcing, as fast as
the boards can get to it, the eight
hour day. as well as time and one
half for overtime work. Moreover, the
agreements with labor unions provide
THAT wages shall be revised upward
just as fast as the cost of living rises.
Most important of all the agree
lments with trade unions is that which
gives the same wages and hours to
union and nOn-uniOn Workingmen.
Never before have WorkingmeD
taken part in the actual management
OF a war Never before, in war or in
peace, has the voice of labor in govern
ment been so powerful as it is now in
America.
No wonder that the American Fede-
ration OF Labor, as is shown by the
vote at the recent Buffalo convention,
supports the war almost unanimously
and stands for fighting it out to the
limit
Any wOrliingman who refuses to stand
by the great majority Of his fellow
workers in their great work for labor,
is injuring himself and his brothers.
A democracy in which the wage-earner
has his share of influence is coming;
and if it does not come as it should,

ANNUAL Meeting
OFTHED Ar.

The Daughters of the American Re-
volution held their annual meeting at
the home of Mrs. L. NJ. Alexander in
Port Edwards on Thursday afternoon.
About twenty ladies were present
and after the reading Of the annual
reports the following officers were e.
lected for the ensuing year.
Regent-Mrs. F. MacKinnon.
Vice Regent-Mrs. L. M. Alexander.
Sec.-Mrs. Geo. W. Mead
Treas.-Mrs. AL Voss.
Registrar-Mrs. Iva Babcock.
Chaplain-Mrs. Cecilia Gibson.
Historian-Mrs. Mary Peck.
This society has been very active
during the past year and among other
things that they have done we men
ton $50 comfort bags made for our
soldiers, many books and magazines
sent to the different environments and
HOSPITALS, and just at present they are
making scrap books for use in the
different base hospitals in France.
There are at the present time about
1913, 1000 daughters in the United States
and the one great work that they are
busy with for this year, is the restora-
ton of the village Of Pillalay, a little
town about ten miles from Berionne,
in France which was absolutely de-
vastated by the Germans, and is now
only heap of ruins, with the people
living in tents in the summer and in
the different surrounding villages in
the winter. The National Society has
taken up the work of this restoration
and two New York architects have Of
fered their services for this work,
The plan is to build 600 houses, fur
nish them, and provide cows and farm
ing implements SO that these people,
made homeless, may live again. The
village when restored will be known
as D. A. R. village and the money for
the restoration is to be raised by pop
ular subscription, each daughter CIV
ing as much as she wishes. The sum
to be raised is $51 700. At the meet
ing last Thursday a goodly sum was
subscribed by the local chapter. At
the close Of the business session very
delicious supper was served after

the reason will be that some wage
Gamers are misled and don't know
democracy when they see it, or don't
support it when they know it.
A German victory is the only thing
that will set labor back permanently.
If Germany defeats Great Britain,
Germany will take over the British
navy. She will then be far and away
the most powerful country in the
world, and we Americans will be com

Camille-Huysmans. International sec
rotary of the Socialist Bureau. in HOl-
land, has said to the Chicago Daily

Americas War Aims.
The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, composed of trade
uniOnists and socialists, at it's meeting
in Minneapolis, endorsed and repeated
these demands. These are Americas
aims in the war: Equal rights Of all
nations, big and little; no people to
be forced under q government under
which it does not wish to live; free.
dom of the seas; concert of nations
to guarantee peace and Justice; Iinita-
ton of ornaments on land and sea.
OF these aims the greatest is dis
armament, by limitation Of ornaments
on land and sea, tn Ough Internal ional
agreement. Without this, labor cannot
be free in this or any other country.
ANY socialist in America, however
honest, who tries to weaken the
morale of American labor in this great
crisis, is simply playing the game of
the German Socialists who have al
ready sold themselves to the Kaiser.
Rather than listen to such Socialists,
let American labor join in the mag
nificent patriotism of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy.
Let them say, with the Alliance, that
labor will take its part in conducting
the war; and that the war shall be
fought to q finish, for upon its success

DEAIHIN
IHEGARAGF

Every now and then the morning
newspaper tells of some one who was
found dead in a small, private garage;
very recently two well-known persons,
one an actor and the other an educator,
were killed by poisonous gases releas-
ed by the working of their automobile
engines in a small, closed garage. In
very cold weather it is necessary to
let the engine run for few minutes
so as to warm it up before the car is
brought out into the open air, and be-
cause the weather is so cold there is a
tamtpation to keep the garage door
~7oSnd the while. But among the gases
that the engien produces is one that
is a deadly poison. That gas is carbon
monoxide, and it amounts to about sew
en- per cent of the exhaust gases.
1t has been shown that so little as
one per cent of carbon monoxide in the
air that is breathed in can be fatal,
and it is easy to see that the atmos-
phere in a small, closed garage, while
the engine is working, must soon be-
come dangerous. It is carbon monoX-
ide that kills when anyone breathes
the fumes from a charcoal stove in q
small room, or inhales illuminating
gas. Death results from the poisonous
action of the gas on theblood; the car
i bon monoxide combines with the haze
mogiobin-the oxygen-carrying sub
stance in the red corpuscles-and max
es it incapable of absorbing the oxy-
gen from the air in the lungs.
But carbon monoxide can do grea,
harm even when it is not present II
sufficient quantities to kill. The sym
ptoms of this sort Of gas poisoning
