Washington, d. c., February IL
Over 150,000,000 eggs will be
lost to the food supply of the Unit
ed States if the old practice of
sending hens to market at this sea-
son is continued. Figures eompil-
ed by the poultry specialist of the
United States Department of Ag-.
riculture show that more than
100000 laying hens, each capable
of producing 80 eggs, are sent to
market from the Southern States
in the winter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore, is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring
laying season. thereby getting a
dividend for keeping the hens
through the winter. The special
lists point out that when hen is
sold for meat early in the pring
the farmer gets no egg return for
feeding and keeping her through
the worst months of the year.
Moreover, the. hen is marketable
as poultry after she has, produced
|
her spring eggs. Poultry in May
may bring 2 cents pound less
than it does in February, but, they
point out, the 80 eggs produced by
the hen, largely from wastes. more
than Offset any reduction in the
price offered for live poultry.
An energetic egg-saginS cam
paign to prevent early slaughter of
the hen that "lays the golden egg"
is now being conducted throughout
the Southern States. North of the
Ohio River, farmers have long ap-
preciated the advantage of getting
espring crop of eggsand market
ing their hens after the laying sea-
son or in the fall. They believe
that the adoption of this plan by
Southern chicken raisers will be
profitable and will materially add
to the food. supply of the Nation.

Connecticut school girls have
pledged themselves "to eat no
more bonbons, candy, tarts, cream
puffs or other sweetmeats for the
duration of the war;" The school
children of Maine have agreed to
eat no candy and chew no gum for

LESSONS OF THE WAR.

Some months ago [ had occasion
to send message to~school officers
urging them toincrease materially
the time and attention devoted to
obstruction bearing directly on the
iproblems Of community and Ma
tional life.
l called attention then to the
fact that this was not a plea for a
temporary enlargement of the
school program appropriate mere
1yto the period of the war, but a
plea for tie realization in public
education 6f the new emphasis
which the war has given to the
ideals of Democracy and to the
broader conceptions of National
life.
The American Red Gross de-
votes itself to the extension CT our
ideals and the spirit of humanity.
Nowhere can it's cause be exerted
to better advantage than in the
schools, and i have already ap-
proved the widespread plan which
brings young people into Junior
membership.
i am told that the articles from
the Red Cross Magazine, which-in
spirit explain and extend these in
terests, are being used as reading
lessons in thousands of schools,
and that the coming numbers of
the magazine will contain articles
especially designed for this patri-
rotie purpose. This plan is excel
lent, and l look forward to will
ing cooperation among school Off
GERS to carry out the idea to the
fullest extent.

Are you civic sneap, trying to
avoid gust taxation by evasion OF
downright dishonesty, and thus
putting upon your neighbor part OF
the burden which is yours?
Are you a civic waster, consider
ing that the food and fuel that you
buy or produce is to be used less
carefully than if it was not related
to the present urgent needs of the

Are you civic 'Fugli6er" (tous
