CHICKENS.

Chickens are very useful during
this war. The eggs take the place
of meat. Some people say the chick
ems do not pay That is because they
do not give them enough care. In
the winter they should have hot
water and you should warm their
feed. Warm mash is also fine. IL
takes this care to get good results

day aud then miss the next day. But
give them good care every day.

WAR PHRASES.

There Is personality i'm language. Just
aS one can easily discern the educated cul-
turcd individual by the mannerisms of
speech so can the character of nation be
discovered by the phrases of its leaders.
Never was this more evident than in the
present war. A comparison of the phrases
to which the leaders Of the allies and the cen
tral powers is Illuminating. For example
see the difference between President VIII
sons utterance: snake the World safe for
Democracy" and Bethmann Holweg's
Might is Right" or Hollweg's famous dec
laratiOn that treaties are mere scrap of
paper" with Llovd Georges declaration
that "the nations sacred honor demanded
the upholding of Belgian integrity"
I'm another column in this issue appears
the proclamations which British aud "A
German commander issued To captured cit
les. No more startling contrast could be-
drawn between the characters Of the enc
mics in this war. And yet while permitting

lations Kaiser Wilhelm continues his pose

ONE OF 200 ADMITS HIS
BUSINESS NON-ESSENTIAL
Mechanical Engineers Meet in New
York to Plan Way to Foster Less
Important Industries.

NEW YORK. February 22-Only one
who met here last night to determine
upon some course of cooperation with
the government by which the so-called
non-essential industries Of the country
may be fostered under the stress of
war conditions admitted that the BUSH
ness he was engaged in was not es-
sential.
The solitary speaker was Spencer
Miller. a manufacturer, former vice
president of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers and now con-
nected with the naval consulting board.
Not one man here tonight" said Mr.
Miller. has admitted that his business
is negligible in considering ways and
means of winning this war. I know
better. Tell me, is a fancy Easter bon
tial? Is pair of high heels essential
to the task of conquering the Ger
mans?"
The speaker said he could take the
negroes from the cotton fields and
teach them to drive rivets in ship in
single day and asked why the hands
that made chewing gum could not be
taught to drive rivets.
Il warn you here and now" Mr.. Mil
Ter said, that If we don't drive these
rivets and drive them quickly we will
never drive the Germans. 1t is a case
of chewing gum and being conquered
by the Germans"
1t was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to formulate plan by which
the lesser manufacturers may be kept
going SO as to serve the interests of
the government.
