The incubator should be ordered six

until a week or two before the machine
is wanted, and are usually disappoint-

expected time During the rush sea-

times have more than they can prompt
ly attend to, and some delay in bil-
ing orders is unavoidable. The safe
way is to order In advance of the
breeding season. Another advantage
in ordering is that one can take plenty
of time to adjust and regulate the
machine, and to study the directions
for it's proper operation.

a hot-water machine is that there is

We Applaud the Under Dog
Because of Our Experience

Our sympathies naturally travel the
line of likes; that is, the things we
feel in ourselves, we feel in others.
We applaud the under dog, because
we so often have been the under dog.
We like to lift the other fellow up
when he is down because we also have
been down. Sympathy starts at home
or else it isn't sympathy. Your Pc
riodic moods of failure and disappoint-
ments are your Under Dogs, in the
opinion of George Matthew Adams, a
writer for Good Housekeeping.
So instead of walking past these I'm

your heart and your hope, and soon

by them until their fight becomes

Should Set Brains of the
Country to Conserving Coal

1t requires 100000 tons of coal for
the daily needs of the United States
in times of peace. Just how great has
been the increase In consumption due
to war conditions is not authoritative
ly stated, but the country must be
burning nearly 100000 tons of coal
each day. One-third of this fuel Is
not consumed in the stoves and fur
naces but goes out with the ashes
One-third is used for purposes which
are of no real value to the nation and
confer no benefit upon the individuals
who burn it. The other third of the
coal used in the United States is the
necessary amount which is vital to the
conduct Of the nations affairs. And
the individual and the official and the
power plant should set the best brains
of the country to the task of conserv-
ing the two-thirds of the nations coal
which now are wasted.-Houston Post.

81 of half a million men
on the firins-line,"
said Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the famous
Juvenile court judge, when asked how
the children of America could help win
the war
1--WE are in the greatest war of the
worlds history" said Secretary of the
Treasury William McAdOo in his mes
sage to the youth of America, "and we
must win this war. We can and we
shall win, if the boys and girls of
America say so, and mean it, and feel
1t, and live it, as the boys and girls of
rs felt and lived and helped.
'The nation needs that sort of boys
and girls today. Not to beat our
drums, nor to load our muskets, but to
start great work which must be done.
1t is the part Of the boys and girls to-
day to give an example of self-denial
and sacrifice, to teach fathers and
tmOthers, to teach the grown people of
the nation that we still have in every
young heart the spirit of rs when the
boys led our soldiers into battle, and
the girls fought beside their fathers at
the cabin walls. The lesson is thrift
saving to the point of sacrifice--self-
denial of everything unnecessary"
Young America needs no urging to
do its part for victory. Reports from
the schools show that the youngsters
are making sacrifices and doing their
share of war work with the spirit of
the boys and girls of rs.
In Greenwich, Conn, is remarkable
school. 1t is self-governing, the boys
and girls having equal voice in school
affairs with the faculty. Every Mon
day morning the children and teachers
hold war council. Government poll
cies of Importance and reports Of the
nations needs are discussed Letters
and messages of human interest from
soldiers of the allies and friends in
service are read and the inspiration of
brave deeds and patriotic self-denial
is impressed upon the young minds. )
Every member of the council who
does at least one hour of war work
daily is awarded a badge of citizen
ship. The council owns a large and
businesslike gray book, in which is
recorded each citizens activities for
the day, and you will find such jottings
as these:
Leigh, age seven: Cutting ships for
pillow pads for the wounded, 80 min
utes. Knitting squares for comforts,
20 minutes. FASTING scrap-books for
