! RED CROSS ROLL CALL
IS SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

4 OF all the observances Of 4
4 Christmas the American people 4
4 have known the one this year 4
4 Will be most In keeping with the 4
4 true spirit Of the day. Self GEN. 4
/ tered exchanging Of gifts will be 4
4 little in evidence because our
4 resources are pledged to much 4
4 more important use.
4 The Red Cross Christmas Roll
4 Call is conceived in the new
4 light. When the American man, 4
4 woman or child pays the nomi- 4
4 nal membership dues the action 1
4 far transcends an ordinary con- 4
4 trlbuiion. Wherever people are 4
4 starving, wherever they are sick, 4
4 wherever they lack shelter, the 4
4 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
K will stand for renewed hope and 4
4 the promise of efiicacious relief.
4 How necessary, then, that the 4
< answer of the American people 4
4 should be overwhelming. The 4
4 amount of money raised Is Sec !
4 ondary. The world will measure 4
/ our humanitarian purpose by the 4
number of names enrolled II !
4 The word goes out that FORTY !
4 MILLION Americans have Joined !
4 the Red Cross or greater num- ,
Der all mankind will be revived !
4 by the practical proof Of our !
ideallsm
4 Those who have been on the !
firing line know that the work ,
of the Red Cross will not end !
with the proclalmlng OF peace.
In many respects the demands ,

riod will present many opportu- I
4 mites for sharing our abundance +,
K with our world neighbors. who !

4 needs In Europe and Asia will
4 stand forth with insistent call to ,
4 his and her sympathy In the
4 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
4 the aim Is to place the entire

NO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK

There will be no school next week
on account OF the Christmas vata-
tion. We all hope that by the week
following the flu situation will be
such that schools may open with the
attendance some where near normal.
Some, perhaps most have felt that
we were taking chances In opening
the schools the past two weeks, but
SO far no bad results have followed

Coop for Hen and Chicks.

Have the brood coops ready for the
hens and chicks when they come off
the nests. Coops may be made of
waste lumber or of boxes. Quarters
similar to the one shown in the illus
tration above have given excellent
satisfaction. The coop should be made
so that it can be closed at night to
keep out cats, rats and other animals,
and enough ventilation should be al
lowed so that the hens and chicks will
have plenty of fresh air.
The coop shown is built on u wooden
floor, but is not nailed to this floor.
This allows it to be lifted completely
of the floor, which greatly facilitates
cleaning. The sides fit over the edge
of the floor to make 1t tight and dry.
The door, covered with one-half-inch
wire netting, slides in back of the Stat
front to close the coop, and is pushed

around the egg being filled with either
chaff Dr. bran. This package is then
placed in n basket, the 0ottom and
sides of which are lined with excelsior,
and the spaces at either end of the
box are packed with the same ma
terial. On top of this package is
placed more excelsior and all is COW
cred with cloth, as previously men
toned. Extra stiff cardboard cartons
made to hold from one to several set
tings are used in which to ship eggs.
These cartons or Egg boxes are fitted
with a handle for carrying, similar to
that on a market basket. Bushel bas-
kets are commonly used to ship orders
Of from 10 to u sittinGs of eggs, the
manner of packing and covering being
the same as mentioned in the first
method.

How to Ship Matching Eaas.

Eggs for Matching can be shipped X.
tensively over long distances successful
", but in many cases the shipment ap-
pears to affect the hatch. Setting eggs
are packed for shipment in several diff
ferent ways. One of the best methods
Is to use a common market basket well
tined on the bottom and sides with ex-
celsiOr. After wrapping the eggs in a
thin layer of paper and enough excel
sior to make n ball of about three
inches in diameter, pack them tightly
In the basket, then put on a covering
of excelsior, and over all sew n piece of
strong cotton cloth, or the cloth can be
pushed up under the outside rim of the
basket with a case knife. The latter
method of fastening the cloth is much
quicker than the former and just as
effective. Eggs are also shipped safely

ARRANGING NEST
FOR BROODY HEN
Try Out All Fowls Before Giving
Them Eggs Selected for
Incubation
DUST WITH INSECT POWDER
At Matching Time eiddy Should Not
Be Disturbed Until All Chicks Are
Out-Plan of Model Coop
Given Herewith.
This is the way to set a hen.

This is the way to set a hen.
AS the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit, and care is
taken to look into the nest, 1t Will be
seen that there are a few soft, downy
feathers being left there by the hen I;
also the hen stays longer on the nest
when laying at this time and on being
approached will quite likely remain
on the nest making a clucking noise,
ruffiing her feathers and pecking at
the intruder. When 1t is noted that q
hen sits on a nest for two or three
nights In succession and that most Of
the feathers are gone from her breast,
which should feel hot to the hand, she
II ready to be transferred to a nest
which has been prepared for her be-
eorehand. The normal temperature of
the her Is from JOG degrees to 107 de
grees f., which varies slightly during
incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with in
ect powder, holding her by the feet
with the head down and working the
powder well into the feathers. The
powder should also be sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in some
quiet, o~ut-of-the-way place where the
hen will not be disturbed. Move her
from the regular laying nest at night
and handle her carefully in doing so.
Put a china egg in the nest where she
Is to sit, and place a board owe the
opening SO that she cannot get off.
Toward evening of the second day go
In quietly where she is sitting, leave
come feed and water, remove the
BOARD from the front or top of the
hest and let the hen come off when
Ihe is ready. Should she return to the
hest after feeding, remove the china
sgg or eggs and put under those that
are to be incubated. If the nests are
slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless. At Matching
time they should be confined and not
be disturbed until the Matching is COM
pleted unless they become restless,
when 1t may be best to remove the
chicks that are Matched first. In cool
weather 1t is best not to put more
than ten eggs under the hen. Later in
the spring one car put II to Is, &C.
cording to the size of the hen.
, 1918-02-28
NESTS FOR SITTING HENS.

Where only a few hens are set
special quarters are not neces-
sary, but If many are used u
separate room should be provid-
ed. If portable nests have been
provided for the laying hens, the
sitters can be moved in them to
new quarters. OF the various
styles Of nests used for sitting
hens this one has given good sat
isfaction: A box 10 inches
square, 10 inches high with n
board six inches high in front
to prevent nesting material from
falling out. The nests may be
arranged in tiers with a hinge
front which makes n platform
for each tier when open. When
using n bank of nests as the one
just described, it would be well
to place three or four inches of
damp earth in each nest. The
nesting material is next put In
and may consist of hay, chaff, or
straw. Pack this material down
firmly and shape Il circular nest
out of 1t. which should be slight
ly deeper at the center than mt
the edges, as a nest so shaped
will prevent the eggs from roll
Ing out from under the hen and
becoming chilled.

BY EDWARD W. PIckARD.

mo longer believing in the pacific
professed purpose Of restoring peace
and order in the parts Of that country
they already occupy, the Germans last
week re-opened the war on the boil
sheviki. Their first advance look them
across the Dvina and into Dvinsk n
Lutsk, and thence they continued on
their way toward Petrograd, gathering
in many prisoners and large quantities
of arm and supplies. After protesting
against the resumption of hostilities
against Russia, Austria-Hungary Joined
in the invasion. The moSe is extreme
ly unpopular among the socialists Of
Germany and the people generally Of
Austria, but the Prussian militarists
have the whip-hand and pay little heed
to objections from others.
Continuing their advance, toward the
end of the week the Germans sent a
large feet of warships to Rsval and
landed troops to invest that great sea-
port. They also landed a force of
Firms, who had been fighting in the
German army, in Finland. presumably
to attack the bolsheviki at TANNER
fors and Viborg.
Trotnky, finding his hope that the
Teutonic workers and peasants would
refuse to fight against those of Rus
STA, emitted a loud wall, offering to
sign the peace treaty Germany had de-
manded, but seemingly DR.. Won Kuehl-
mann deemed 1T too late. Further
more, there were strong indications
that the long-expected split in the
ranks of the bolsheviki leaders had
come, for Lenine countermanded Trotz-
ky's orders for immediate de-
mobilization, stating hat they were
unable yet to o the terms of
peace as peace had not yet been
signed.
The Red guard is necessarily scat
tered, because civil war is raging in
many parts of Russia. The bolsheviki
claimed to have established their au-
thority in that part of East Siberia
known as Trans-Baikalia to have cap
tured Botalsk and advanced far be-
You'd INSTRUMENTATION and to have
routed the Cossacks In Astrakhan. In
Finland. too, they claimed decided VIC
tories over the White guard Of the
government. Official dispatches from
Petrograd said the Ukrainians had
made an alliance with the Roumanians
and hat a joint army had occupied
Kishinev, but that the bolshevfh
forces had driven them from Tiraspol
on the Dniester. The Ukrainians, on
the other hand, appealed to Germany
for help against the bolsheviki, who,
they asserted, had invaded their terri
tory and were burning and footing
their towns.
In the Don Cossack region the gov
eminent fostered by General Kalen-
dimes was ousted and q new republic
organized at Tcherkask by the work
men and soldiers. K~alendines commit
ted suicide, and his successor as het-
man, General Nazaroff, ordered all
Cossacks to mobilize Mt once and fight
the advancing bolsheviki forces. Al
together 1t is a pretty mess, and no
one will envy the Germans the task
they have assumed Of restoring order.
The German and Austrian ministers,
addressing the reichraths, expressed
the strong conviction that the peace
with Ukraine was the beginning OF
peace with all Russia, but warned the
people they might be disappointed,
They explained that, in order not to
disrupt this peace and lose the chance
of getting wheat from Ukraine, they

The Alabama Minstrels owned by white people. All the performers, however, are colored folks. Charles Wallace, Seymour James, Will Moore and Kid Kelly, the end men of the show are especially good in their re- spective parts, as are also Perry and Hines, contortionists, jugglers and fire eaters. A feature of the show which attracted as much attention as any other, was the dancing of Moore and James. In the closing act of the show several scenes from Southland are staged. These scenes are very attractive and impressive and well merited the hearty applause that they received. Other features of the show were the street parade and the music rendered by the band orchestra.
 Altogether the show is good one, high class in every particular, and enjoyable in the extreme. Newport, Monday, April 8. (Adv.)
