COLLEGE of AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY e ARNANsAs
 U.S.ptPARTrtNT of AGRICULTURE COOPERATING HATCH YOUR CHICKENS EARLY FOR MORE PROFH.
By H. B. Lansden, Poultry Specialist, Agricultural Extension Division,
 University of Arkansas.

Early matched chickens are best and most profitable because the cock. erels are ready for the market when prices are highest and early matched bullets lay when eggs are selling for the most.
 Early Chickens More Vigorous.
 Early matched chickens give the best results. They are usually the strongest and most vigorous be cause they are produced from esgs laid while the hens are in their best breeding condition. After long pc riod of laying. hens lose something of their vitality and their capacity to transmit vigor to their offspring, and so late matched chicks are, as a rule, decidedly inferior to early matched in vigor and constitution.
 Make Better and Cheaper Growth.
 Because they are more thrifty and vigorous, early matched chickens make quicker, better and cheaper growth than late chickens. Weak and under sized chickens often consume as much feed as much larger and better de, veloped birds, and still make no per ceptible growth.
 More Healthy.
 Early chickens develop to the stage where they can withstand extreme heat and the attacks of parasites, which are numerous and troublesome , in hot weather. Late chickens are likely to be caught by severe heat just at the stage of their growth where heat is most debilitating to them. In their weakened condition they then become an easy prey to lice and mites, their growth is interrupted and when the cold. wet weather comes in the fall they are peculiarly sus. ceptible to it and likely to develop colds, while vigorous early chicks find the coolness stimulating and are not injured by the dampness.
 Early matching reduces the risks due to the vicissitudes of matching. When eggs do not hatch well early in the season there is time to find the reason for poor matching and correct 1t before the season is too far 'ad yanced to get reasonably early chicks in the numbers desired In that case poultry production may not be re. dnced at all and egg production is i retarded only a few weeks. When late matching is, not satisfactory the crop Of poultry is cut short and egg production fails.
 Remember, March. April and May are the best months in which to hatch chickens.

Road Tractors,
For ThreShimg

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 14.-Upon
petition Of the Dunn county commits
sion, the state council OF. defense this
morning issued an order that coun~
ty gas tractors, used regularly in
road work, may be used for .thresh-
ing, to be substituted for steam
tractors. The result, says T. J. An
ders of the Dunn county board, who
was here this morning in conference
with the state council will be to save
the straw which would be consumed
in steam tractors; there will be
much greater economy in the labor
Of men and teams, and threshing
may be done much nearer barns
and other buildings than would be
possible with the use Of steam
tractors. The project originated
with the DUNN county board. Dunn
county owns several gas tractor out
fits, and the engines will be immedi-
ately placed at the disposal OF the
farmers. 1t Is probable that other
counties will promptly take similar
action. Little road-work can be
done during harvest and threshing
time anyway, because all available
men are employed on the farms.

William Curtis Box Is An Ensign on Duty at
- Seattle.
From The Seattle Post Intelligeucer: .5 -.
Not yet Fl years old, modest almost to the
point Of blushing when asked to tell something
about himself, but full of the youthful energy

made the American navy the great fighting ma
chine that it is, William Curtis Box son OF I'D
ward Box, editor OF The Ladies' Home Journal
commissioned ensign in the United States navy
year ago, is on duty at one of the Seattle
shipyards. He expects to 30 overseas in a short
time,
When the United States entered the war young
Box was attending Williams college. a member
of the class Of 10. He was quick to respond to
the call for men and entered the Plattgburg naval
camp. He went on the civilian cruise in 1915;
enlisted in the naval reserves in 1917 as quarter
master third class; was appointed ensign in 1877
and later took course in the reserve officers
class at Annapolis, -,
Young Box comes from literary family. His
father made name for himself as an editor more
than 30 years ago. and his grandfather, Cyrus
Fl. x. Curtis, head of the Curtis Publishing COM
pany has been identified with the publishing
business in America for more than 40 years.
1T is natural, therefore, that Ensign Box looks
forward to the time when he shall follow in the

Sweets From Other Source

Chicago Plant Will Make Barley Sugar for Con-
fectoners.
From The Chicago Daily Tribune.
A new plant, to cost at least one-half million
dollars is to be built in Chicago result Of the
sugar shortage. The plant will be used for MAX
ing malt sugar from barley, and will supply a
large part of it's product to confectioners. The
plan originated with Charles Stevenson, head Of
the sugar division of the food administration,
who is getting the priorities necessary for the
construction of the factory.
"A supply Of malt sugar will relieve the pres
sure for confectioners and manufacturers Of
beverages, who are in trouble over sugar, said
Mr.. Stevenson. Malt sugar can often be used
as a substitute for cane. In industries it
has been found that substitutes better than
sugar and less expensive.

In order to assure the election of 100 per cent

tricts, the Republicans and Tammany will unite

Gamblers Chances

Round and round the little wheel goes
And where she stops nobody knows. 3

ana where she stops nopooy KNOWS.
So cries the man at the wheel in the gambling
house. So cries the record Of history throughout
the ages. The Greek tyrant of Sparta. or Athens,
before he engaged in any war, consulted the ora

might be, for answer before setting out. The
Roman tyrant engaged an adversary or retreated

Now we are told that the German kaiser has

weather. -,
1t seems incredible that this age old supersti-
ton should persibt into the Twentieth century,
But human nature has not changed. The tyrant
of all ages has the same fear in his heart which
dominates his every action.
The history Of the world Is writ in blood" be-
cause Of this superstition Of tyrants who get the
answer to their desires from oracles who have
kept their places and power by at first seeming
to deny and later to grant the wishes Of the
tyrant. The wheel Of chance has gone round from
ancient Greece to modern Germany. Farther
back than Greece, into the mysteries of Egypt,
its circle extends. But whether it's subjects be

Gollerns, the result of this tyranny of supersti-
ton is the same
This war is not only a war Of democracy
