The Department Of Agriculture is
now opening campaign urging far
mcrs to refrain from selling hens
from the first Of February to the
first Of May, and at the time request
ing buyers to refrain from buying
hens during that time.
The Poultry and Egg Section Of the
United State Food Administration
feels that this is a highly desirable
move and requests your hearty CO.
operation in seeing that the best pos
s!blc results are secured.
Every hen which is sold before the
first of May represents food loss to
the nation of about thirty eggs. The
total loss of eggs represented by tn
customary selling Of hens between
the first Of February and the first
of May amounts to about $50, 900
600 eggs. The value of these eggs is
about 80 per cent of what the hen is
actually worth, so that this program
does not entail loss to the farmer,
but an actual gain.

BUT JADE CAME BACK

Jade Rivers is the name of a color
ed gentleman who was fined $4,000
some time ago for shooting another
gentleman of about the same color.
But as Jade hadn't paid the said
fine, an order for his arrest was Civ
en- last Saturday to magistrates

The said constable not being ac-
quainted with Jade, requested the
town Marshal to make the arrest.
This the constable did very prompt
and led the said Jade before the pro-
per Magistrate. The aforemention-
ed Marshal then went on a search for
the magistrates constable whose pre-
sence was required.
After waiting some time the ma
glstrate and the prisoner became
weary, not to say impatient, and they
agreed that the prisoner should 90

But once out of sight of magis-
trate and police, Jade began to think.

SO it happened that in short time

fine.

This countrywide campaign was

request of the Belgian relief commits
sion, which declares that the wcllto-

in need Of the real necessities and
the poor are absolutely destitute
Even if money were no cOnSidcra-
ton it would be difficult to provide
sufficient clothing on account of the
scarcity Of raw materials, and so
tn" people Of the United States are
being asked to look through their
wardrobcs and donate all surplus
garments. These garments need not
be in perfect condition, provided they
are of good, strong material and
worth making over; for the relief
commission has assembled groups of
women all over Belgium who glad.y
take second hand clothing, rip il I'D,
wash, sponge and press it, and re-
make it. Often two or more garments
can be combined to make one new

SOUTH MUST FEED ITSELF
AND PRODUCE COTTON TOO

The following recommendation re-
garding cotton is included in the pro-
gram:
"The South having taken steps to
provide food for it's own people and
feed for its livestock, which is urged
as matter of both public duty and
self-protection, should plant as much
cotton as can be we'll cultivated and
harvested.
while emphasizing the need for
an adequate cotton supply, the De-
partment again urges the great i'm
portance of developing diversified
farming in the South. 1t is better
farm economy, results in the fuller
utilization of labor, and, in the long
run will bring larger returns. u.
