ALL EXPRESS IS
NOW HANDLED BY
GOVERNMENT men

At twelve o'clock last night every
express company in Chickasha ceased
operation under the old names and
became part Of the great government
system listed as the American Rail
ways Express Company. No mate
rial changes have been announced in
the method of operation because of
the consolidation of the companies.
The American Express Company
Wells Fargo Company, and all other
branches doing business on any rail
way line in the United States have
been linked together under such a
general combination as that worked
on the railroads for government con
venience. Complete outlines for fu'
ture procedure have not been reeeiv-
cd by local express managers and the
companies will continue to operate
under the same forces and in the
same way as previously, it was stat
ed today.
The express companies will come
under the supervision of the United
States treasury department subject

About the hardest job that Post
master Barefoot and Assistant Langs-
ton had to handle was keeping a sup
ply on hand. Friday afternoon it
was evident that the rush would
clean out every stamp in the vault.
A wired order to Oklahoma City
brought $4,000 worth here Satur-
day. That supply lasted but two
hours when the vault was cleaned
out. Another relief order was placed
with Oklahoma City and it is expect
ed to arrive today. A big shipment
from Washington is due to arrive
today. If not there will be few
stamps sold at the post office, for
the reason that there were none on
hand this morning. The various
agencies in Chickasha report that
they are well supplied with stamps
and there will be no necessity of any
purchaser being unable to get stamps
unless possibly he desires to dab
down for membership in the Thous-
and Dollar Club
Actual remittances made from the
post office last week for stamps, to-
tailed over $4,000.

Corvallis, Or, April 29.-Potatoes may
be literally fed to laying hens at pro
fit at present prices, says Prof. James
Dryden, head of the o. A. G. experiment
station poul4ry work. One dollar will
buy 1873 pounds of potatoes, or more.
The same dollar will buy about 80
pounds of corn. The hens will help to
save loss in potatoes, aud ths potatoes
will help the poultry-keeYer to get
profit from she hens.
A hundred pounds Of potatoes con-
tains 2l pounds of dry matter, and
hundred pounds Of corn 80 pounds. AT
rs cents hundred dollar will buy
2S pounds of potatoes, minus the mois-
ture; and at $4 q hundred for corn, a
dollar will buy 22A pounds corn.
The chemical composition of potatoes
does not vary greatly ON dry mat ,er
basis, from corn or wheat.
The potatoes should be boiled and
then mixed with bran and shorts, the
whole fed as mash once day. After
boiling, pour off most of the water and
mix as much bran and shorts as the
moisture win take up. This mash should
be fed preferably in the evening about
,wo hours before dark. The hens should
have all they will eat. In the morning
give them light feed of coarse grain
corn, oats or barley, just what they
will clean up in an hour or two when
it is thrown in litter of straw 9 OF

much mash by weight as Of dry grain
