POULTRY VALUABLE
AS SOURCE Of MEAL
Arkansas People To Increase Their
Poultry Production.


place of red meat and relieve the
great shortage Arkansas pee pie ar
urged to increase their poultry pro
ductfon as quickly as possible.
In order to aid farmers and poultry
men by giving such help and sug-
gestions as may be needed, Mr.. H. B,
Lansden has been appointed by the U.
s. Department of Agriculture to co
operate with the Extension Division
of the University of Arkansas. He
will visit every county in the state,
and, working with the county, agents,
will organize Poultry ASSOC. ons and
Boys and Girls Poultry Clubs. He
will be glad to answer all inquiries
coming from Arkansas people.
In speaking of the present situa-
ton, Mr. Lansden says: 1.-THE Unit
ed States is short on red meat, and
our soldiers and allies must have it.
The quickest way to overcome this
shortage of beef. pork and mutton is
for every household, and every hotel
and restaurant in this country to sub
stitute poultry for red meat. The de-
mand for more poultry which will re-
suit can be quickly met because of
the rapidity with which increased Pc
duction OF poultry can be effected It
Is therefore up to every farmer and
city or village dweller, who has
small back lot. to do their bit in the
increase Of this poultry food supply.
There should be one hundred to two
hundred hens on every farm, because
these hens can pick up a large por-
ton of their living and will consume
much material that would otherwise
90 to waste. Every city and village
dweller who has small space in the
back yard can keep a few hens. A
half-dozen to dozen thrifty hens or
pullets will produce sufficient supply
Of eggs for most any ordinary fam
ily, and can be fed largely on the
scraps from the table for which there
Is no other USE
Hints to Prospective Poultryn,en.
Hatch chickens early, as II is the
early Matched pullet that lays In fall
and winter when eggs are scarce and
high priced.
Confne hens and chicks to brood
coops for at least two weeks The
loss OF baby chicks, fro allowing
the hens to lead them through wet
grass and weeds before they are
strong, ID enormous.
Dispose Of surplus cockerels as soon
as they weigh one to one and one
half pounds. There is more profit in
the first pound than in any time there
after This will not only be more
profitable to the producer, but will
sumo after this age.
Produce infertile eggs. The los.
from fertile eggs, from blood rings
developing during warm spring and
summer. amounts to $15.ooo.ooo annu-
ally. fnfertile eggs are produced by
the male bird from the yard
after the breeding season is over.
Preserve eggs during summer while
eggs are cheap by the water glass
method. Full instruction for this
method OF preserving will be furnish
cd on application to the Extension
Division.
Provide comfortable, but not neces-
sarily expensive houses, well ventilat-
ed and kept thoroughly dry. Hens
can not produce eggs when subjected
to cold rains and storms.
There is every indication that the
prices for poultry and eggs will be
high for some time-and remember,
there 10 no danger of over-production.

A Genuine Patriot.

The school teachers ON the East side
in New York are finding some inter-
esting material In the manner in which
alien parents are saving to aid In the
war. One little girl told her teacher
how "the folks at home" are going to
help. my father and mother and me-"
she said, 1--WE made 1t on piece Of
paper last night. My father has makes
$1S the week, and he pays for the rent
$18 the month, 50 for coal, SO for milk
for the baby. 81 week for eats. Then
he gets left 81 the week. He gives my
mother 81 for clothes, he keeps 81 the
week and puts 81 the week for the
war savings. He does that so long as
the war should last"

TO MEET DEMANDS FOR HELP
War Employment Service, Aided by
System Of Bureaus, New Ma
tional Arrangement Planned.

To meet the rapidly increasing war
demand for labor a new system of
labor exchanges. to be known as the
war emergency employment service, is
being organized by the Industrial serv-
ice section of the council of national
defense.
l.. G. Marshall, chief Of the sec
ton, Announces that all state councils
Of defense had been asked to form Ia
Dor exchanges In cooperation with the
federal department of labor. Many
shipyards were said to be In need of
workers, and In the near future the
need is likely to be felt equally by mu-
milton. steel, lumber, mining, transpor-
tation and all the other essential In
dustries.

broke forth, when they walked sedate-
ly out and took their seats along the
side OF the platform-an antedlluvian
custom which has long been discarded
by everything but Sunday schools and
graduating classes.
The program went along smoothly,
with no more stumbles than is custom
airy at such affairs, and nicely punctu-
ated with hand clippings. When the
superintendent read, "Recitation-Miss
Carol Starr" the applause was enthu-
slastic, for Carol was prime favorite
In church and school and town. With
sweet and charming nonchalance she
tripped to the front of the platform
and gave graceful inclination of her
proud young head In response to the
applause. Then her voice rang out,
and the room was hushed. Nobody ever
worried when Carol spoke a piece.
Things always went all right. And
back to her place she walked, her face
flushed, her heart swelling high with
the qualification Of a good deed well
done.
"Carol," Lark whispered. "I-rm
scared"
Instantly the triumph left Carols
heart, "You're not" she whispered
passionately, gripping her twins hand
closely, "you are not, you're all right"
Lark trembled more violently. Her
head swayed a little. Bright flashes
of light were binding her eyes, and her
ears we're ringing. "I-can't," she NUT
tered thlckly. "Pm sick"
Carol leaned close to her and began
a vioI ant train of conversation, for the
purpose of distracting her attention.
Lark grew more pale.
"Rrcitatlon-Miss Lark Starr"
Ageln the applause rang out.
Lark did not move. ~ can't" she
whispered again. II can't"
Lack, Lark" begged Carol desper-
ately. "You must go, you must. The
wind went drifting DER the eats
easy enough Go on, Lark. You must"
Lark shook her head, "Mmmmm,"
she murmured indistinctly.

But the boys came, both together,

Carol and Hartley-One Of her high

race down the parsonage walk. And
Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up
the rear with Jim Forrest. Jim was
favorite attendant of the twins. He
had been graduated from high school
the year previous, and was finishing
Off ut the agricultural college In Ames.
But Ames was not far from home, and
he was still frequently on hand to
squire the twins when squires were In
demand.
For this broad-minded devotion the
twins gave him a deep-seated gratitude
and affection and he always stood high
In their favor.

her as they walked slowly down the
street toward the church.

Lark tried to rise. She could not.
She could not see her fathers clear en-

Of light.
"You can" whispered Carol. "You

People were craning their necks, and
peering curiously up to the second row
where the twins sat side by side. The
other performers nudged one another,
smiling significantly.
II can't" Lark whispered, "Tm SICK"

tendent.
Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently It
was up to her. With a grim face, she
rose from her chair and started out on
the platform. The superintendent
stared at her, his lips parting. The
people stared at her too, and smiled,
and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her
eyes sought her fathers face. He nod
ded quickly. and his eyes approved.
"Good!" His lips formed the word,
and Carol did not falter again. The
applause was nearly drowned with
laughter as Carol advanced for her
second recitation.
"The wind went drifting DER the
lea," she began-her voice drifting
properly on the words-and so on to
the end Of the piece.
Most of the audience, knowing
Lark's temperament, had concluded
that fear prevented her appearance,
and understood that Carol had come to
her twins rescue for the reputation
OF the parsonage. The applause was
deafening as she went back. It grew
louder as she sat down with a com.
forting little grin at Lark. Then as
the clapping continued, something of
her natural impishness entered her
heart.
Lark" she whispered, "go out and
make bow"

emptory order, and Lark arose from
her chair, stepped out before the as
tonished audience and made q slow
and graceful bow.
This time the applause ran riot for
people Of less experience than those of
Mount Mark could tell that the twins
were playing game. AS 1t continued,
Carol caught Larkin's hand In hers,
and together they stepped out once
more, laughing and bowling right anc

Lark was the last one In that night,
for she and Jim celebrated her defeat
with two ice cream sodas apiece at the
corner drug store.

and we weren't bit ashamed"
"And you did look awfully sweet
when you made your bow" Connie said
warmly-for when member Of the
family was down, no one ventured a
laugh, laugh-loving though they were.
Curious to say, the odd little freak
of substitution only endeared the twins
to the people of Mount Mark the more.

Childs Fights to Have
Indictments Quashed

Justice Finch reserved decision yes
terday after hearing arguments for the
dismissal of three indictments against
William Hamlin Childs, who was chair
man of the Fusion campaign committee
last fall.
The indictments grew out of alleged
Irregularities in the distribution of the
Fusion funds. Indictments were found
at the same time against former Gov
ernor Sulzer, former Senator Josiah T.
Newcomb and former Coroner Timothy
Healy. The Appellate Division has sus-
tained the contention of the indicted
men that the extraordinary term of the
Supreme Court, to which the indct-
ments were returned, was not legally
convened because of failure to comply
with all the necessary formalties.
The proceeding before Justice Finch
yesterday was brought on writ of
habeas corpus obtained by John B.
Stanchheld, counsel for Mr. Childs.
Mr. Stanchfeld explained that the
swearing out Of the writ was Sc
quence of the granting of the writ of
prohibition by the Appellate Division,
under which the extraordinary term of
the Supreme Court was barred from
trying the indicted men. Mr.. Stanch-

ALBANY, July 24.-Warning women
to check the useless feeding of soldiers
and sailors on their way to and from
camps, Mrs. Alexander Trowbridge,
chief Of the Woman's Division of the

that the food could be used to better

I'VE must feed the troops and greet
the enlisted men whenever their Of
ffcers or the Red Cross request such
service. But if we were to ask these
boys to share their surplus food with
undernourished city children, can we
doubt their reply?
"On my way to the West by tyain

long troop trains full Of boys in

the train at that station, troubled by
the scene I had just witnessed. and

boys, dirty. pale and unhappy looking.
Why can we not feed those boys too 2"
Hospitals Need Help
Mrs. Trowbridge urged the women
to secure proper equipment for the
hospitals training student nurses. "Do
pltals are so short of supplies in gauze
and other dressings that paper is be-
ing used? The best equipped hospital
IN one of our big cities was ahead
only enough material for twenty five
operations.
"One of my friends, whose husband
died at another large hospital, had
to buy gauze and hot water bottle
for him, as the hospital was short. l
asked trustee of the hospital the
reason and he said that only one
fifth Of its usual income had been re-
ceived, owing to the wartime demands
on its contributors.
"Orderlies and ambulance drivers
are very hard to obtain. They need
women to scrub floors and wash dishes.
Just there is where we ought to VOL
unteer strongly, just as have the
English and Canadian women, and
then we will surely be doing something
