BURLESON WRONG,
is MACKAY REPLY.

Clarence II. Mackay. President OF
the Postal Tslegfaph-Commercial
Cable Companies, upon being shown
the statement of Postmaster General
Burleson regarding his reasons for
taking control of the cable lines,
said:
Il fail to see the point of Mr.. Bur
leson's argument. The land line
systems are theoretically in the
hands Of the Postmaster General.
but practically they are operated by
the two telegraph companies exactly
the same is they were Before the
Postmaster General took them over.
Mr.. Burlcson fails to point out how
any more traffic can be sent over the
ocean cables than under present con-
troll. Those cables already are oper-
ated to their full capacity by the
most expert management and he cam
not add to their capacity. The re-
cent breakdown of the Western Tn
ion cable system caused the cable
business to 20 by the Commercial Ca
bic Company's cables, and its ia
cIliues were overtaxed But how
could MT. Burleson have added 10
their capacity during that Interrupt
ton?
Ever since the United States en-
tered the war the American ends Of
the cables have been under the con-
troll Of Government officials as effect
lively as any control could be. They
have been under the control Of the
Director Of Naval Communications
and not a single thing pertaining to
the operation Of the lines or the ia
cility with which cable dispatches
are being handled was done without
his knowledge
There is not quarter of the
need of close control of the cable
systems now or during the period of
readjustment' that there was during
the war was vast quantity of war
news which is now quickly subsiding
since the armistice was declared.
Mr.. Burleson, of course, is not n
practical cable man and knows al
solutely nothing about that line of
business and his reasoning is not
convincing. He is all wrong.
MIR. Burleson says he has other
reasons. fear that the chief one IS
incipient Government ownership"

MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE
MORE PORK

In these days when every acre must
be made to produce its utmost, the re-
suits with fertilizers at the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station are most
interesting.
Translatlng corn yields into terms of
work, it was found that where no FER
tilizer of any kind was used, an acre
of corn would produce about 2S2
pounds of pork; where manure was
used on the corn land, 457 pounds Of
pork were produced; and where fer
tilizer was applied in addition to
manure, an acre of corn produced 552
pounds of work.
On most farms manure is lacking
and more dependence must be placed
upon the commercial forms Of fertiliz-
err. All who expect to use fertilizer
next spring should place their orders
not later than November. Wartime
conditions make it necessary to order
far in advance.

Birds as 5arometers.

Birds are excellent barometers. A
number of our birds-swans, wild
duck. coots, moorhens and others
build their nests either on the banks
Of river or floating on its surface at
tached to the reeds or water grasses,
These birds, ii is said, never by chance
get caught by floods, and If you see a
swans nest, say, foot above the river
level you may be sure that during the
next few weeks there will not be rail-.
enough TO raise the river above that
height. The common robin knows
great deal about forthcoming weather.
II he sings in the morning it is cer-
tain sign of bad weather.

place them under more quiet one
whose eggs are Matching at the same
time. lg-2 & .a S7,$s S, x s -
When the eggs hatch unevenly, as is
frequently the case, those which are
slow in Matching may be placed un-
der another hen. Hens often are rest
less after part Of the chickens are
out, which allows the remaining eggs
to become cool at the very time when
steady heat IS necessary to successful
and strong matches. Remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as Matching is over.
The mother hen should be fed as
soon as possible after the eggs are
Matched, as feeding tends to keep he:
quiet. Hens that are not so fed will
sometimes leave their nests. In some
cases it is best that the hen remain
on the nest and brood the chickens for
at least "a hours after the Matching
is over. III 49,. e.. *.
It is important at this stage Of in
cubation to guard against lice and
mites. Before the hen and her chick
ems are removed to brooding coop
she should be busted with good in
sect powder. This should be repeated
every two weeks or as often as is nee
essary until the chickens are weaned.
If lice become thick on the chickens or
If they are troubled with "head lice"
very little grease such as lard or
vaseline may be applied with the fin
gers on the head neck, under the
wings and around the vent. Great care
is necessary, however, not to get too
much grease on the chickens as it will
stop their growth and in some cases
may prove fatal. 80

YOUNG MAN WAS

ERADEN THOMPSON KILLED WHEN TEAM BECAME UNI
 MANAGEABLE AT CROSSING
Accident Took Place This Side of Ouachita River Bridge and Where There is a Cut Which in Measure Omseured Train.

Braden Thompson, son of Green Thompson, a well known resident of Mill township, was killed suddenly yesterday morning when a Memphis, Dallas and Gulf train struck a wagon in which he was riding. The aeei- dent took place this side of the Ouachita bridge crossing of the rail road and highway. and where therS is a fill that in a measure obscures the sight of an approaching train.
 Thompson and Clarence Mahan were driving a team of mules from the city, and were about at the point where the highway crosses the rail- road tracks The train whistled for the crossing, and it is believed that this frightened the team, and made the mules unmanagable. Mahan jumped. and believed. that Thompson was going to do so also, and be- lieves that he would have done so but that he became tangled in the lines in some manner and could not jump. The steam ran across the cFoSslhN of the railroad, the mules clearins the tracks, but the fore part of the wagcn was on the tracks when the train hit, and Thompson was killed | The accident was regarded as un- avoidable
 The father of the young man, Il will be remembered, saved the same railroad from wreck some time ago and for that was rewarded by tho l passengers with q cash purse, ant
 by the railroad for life pass on thu
 road. Mr. Thompson ascertained tha the wind had blown large ue'
 across the tracks at a point wher' there was a curve to hide it from thu
 approach of a train, and he remained
 there and Tagged down the train.
