LOCAL MARKET
LETS ALL KEEL HENS
r. N. White & Son. Mexico. Mo.

r. NJ. White d Son, Mexico, No.
MEXICO, No, Dec. q. - We are
threatened with a meat famine-iu
fact, it is actually upon Us, for all but
the wealthy. And in the midst of It
all the average American goes right
on overlooking the one best bet IN
the way Of supplying a qu~iek-going,
wholesome meat. I refer to poultry
and eggs.
The average family, for some reason
not wholly clear, would rather grow
flowers in the back yard, which, grant
ed, are good to look upon, but not
worth a cent from a food standpoint
or as q help to winning the war.
Some families will shiftlessly allow
the back yard to grow up in weeds,
which not only are unsightly, but not
good to eat and really an absolute
menace, rather than go to a little
trouble and the imaginary humiliation
of having a few hens and growing
chicks.
There is a Tasteful tendency to
throw table scraps into the garbage
cans, rather than feed them to a flock
of laying hens in the back yard. The
argument has been raised that poul-
try consumes good grain that should
be used in making bread, etc. While
chickens will, of course, eat the best
grade of grains and feed, they do not
demand it, thriving quite well on the
poorer quality of grains and seeds,
table scraps and meat scraps from the
butcher shops, articles Of food that
would otherwise be wasted. The hen
viii take these poorer grades Of feeds
and seeds and turn them into the
queen Of breakfast foods" the fresh
egg.
Fresh eggs are practically sure TO
sell for 81 per dozen this winter.
Why? Not especially because Of the
high prices Of grains, but because, as
in many other cases, we have left the
supply 10 such a limited number Of
producers to produce. In other words,
the eaters are away out Of proportion
to the producers. This should not be.
You can't keep a hog in your back
yard, or a steer, or a flock of sheep,
but you can and should keep a few
hens.
Some people may claim that II Goes
not pay with prices of grain, etc, as
high as at present. On the U. s
Dept, Of Agriculture farm at Belts
vile, Nd, an extensive test covering
an entire year during witch time feed
prices were way up, showed that the
cost Of feed per dozen eggs produced
BY Leghorns averaged about - cents
and for the larger breeds, or general
purpose fowls, it averaged II cents.
Have prices Of eggs been low enough
AZ any tine during the year to admit
Of zny doubt as 70 the profitable
ness Of poultry when Authorities Ike
The L. s Dep Of Agriculture prove
that the cost Of p-pdaring q dozen
eggs does mt exceed he figures Civ
Ed s5oTe7
So fail II E2e-ksep as many hens
as your Epzce VII zuoE-help TO win
the war-sn3 az the same time help

Matawsn 0Versubscribes Quota

By Special Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Oct. 21-This borough
has again shown their patriotism by
over-subscribing the fourth Liberty
loan many thousands of dollars.
10 is impossible at this time to give
the amount which the loan has been
over-subscribed, but II is understood
TO run well into the thousands. The
exact amount Matawan went over the
quota will not be known for several
days, but the fact hat the loan was
successful has removed the spirit Of
depression which seemed to settle
on the townspeople. when II was felt
that all hopes Of reaching the amount
was lost.
Matawan's quota was $s34,600. and
more than 100000 Of this amount
was subscribed by people through the
Farmers and Merchants bank. The
bond issue in the borough was many
times greater than I'm any of she pre-
vious loans and great credit Is hue the
town and the committee in charge
of the campaign for the fact that the
old borough went over the top.
Because OF the epidemic no meet
ings could be held n the fact that
the bond Issue went over in spite OF
this handicap. speaks we'll for the

KILLING GERMAN A
German Owned Firms IN Switzerland
Not to Trade Here
ASSOCIATED Press Coryespondencs

WASHINGTON, Oct. zI:-kegula-
tons intended to prevent German
owned firms with factories in Switz-
erland from exporting their product
under the guise of Swiss goods after
the war, have been adopted by Swiss
chambers of commerce in connection
with the establishment of a new ma
tional trade mark for all Swiss ex-
ports.
The regulations provide that use Of
the trade mark be confined to firms
two-thirds of whose capital is Swiss
and to goods that actually are made
In Switzerland exclusively by the
Swiss. 1t Is known that many firms
operating in the country which are
ostensibly Swiss, have been establish
ed by German capital, or acquired
from their original owners by Ger
man manufacturers, In order that an
apparently neutral outlet might be
secured for German-made goods in
the postwar period.
The president of the Geneva Cham
Der of Commerce Is quoted in advices
received here as stating that control
of these will not be easy, but that
the chamber is alive to the probable
ity of improper use of the rae mark
and Swiss manufacturers are being
asked to bring cases of this kline to
official notice.
