If a person, regardless of party

to any party whatever-is strong,

admirers in all political parties, aside
from democrats, until he requested
the voters to exclude everyone who

they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried In every way
they could to attract the attention Of

The little school teacher, who was

girls, who were rather noisy in their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to fin

Industriously she wOrked-so Intent
on her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preciated her zeal and the quality Of
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and prOffcred her

And before many miles had been trav-
eled one of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined, the

youths, and now they were telling the

Origins Of Military Titles.

Commodore and commander are
forms borrowed and corrupted from
the Spanish comendador, knight,
commander, or the superior of u mon
astery. The French have the word
commandeur, the Italian comandatore.
Commandant, however, meaning the
officer Of fortified towns garrison,
etc, comes from the medieval Latin
commandator, commander, and COM
mandare, to command.

After the war is over ana the

tective tariff might not be a bad

high wages are likely to go glimmer-

BACK YARD
POULTRY KEEPING

Ii the best results are to be expect
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually
there will be place in the yard
where the hens can dust themselves in
The dry dirt. If such place is not
available, box urge enough (about
two feet square) for the hens to get
into it should be provided in the house
and a quantity of dust such as Ordi-
nary road dust or fine dirt placed in
il TO allow the hens n place TO dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the
hens in keeping lice in check and
therefore adds to their comfort. USu-
ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove par
ticularlys harmful. However, it is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as posi-
bic from this pest, and If they are
not able to keep them in check by
busting themselves. other measures
can be undertaken.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fluOrid, material which can
be obtained at most large drug stores,
among the feathers next to the skin
one pinch on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below the vent, one at the
base Of the tail, one on either thigh,
and one scattered on the underSide of
each wing when spread. Another
method is TO use n small quantity of
blue ointment, piece about as large
as q pea on the skin one inch below
the vent. If mercurial ointment is
used instead Of blue ointment, it
should be diluted with an equal guam
tity of vaseline. Any of these meth
DDS will be found very effective in rid
ding the hens of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice become
troublesome. Two or three applica-
tons q year usually prove sufficient.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice. but

the war and airplanes, production and
wise consumption, and similar topics.
The idea of teaching the principles of
conservation underlying successful
prosecution of the war originated with
the food administration, but the plan
has now been taken over by the bureau
of education. Prof. Charles III. Judd
or the University Of Chicago, with the
assistance of corps OF writers in the
various fields, is preparing these gov
eminent texts for the pupils in the ele-
mentary and high schools.
Parents as well as pupils will be In
terested In the lessons. The older high
school students will learn of the rise
of the machine industry, from the day
of the hand loom and the spinning
jenny through the chances wrought
by the Industrial revolution, to the
large-scale productions, world mar
kets, and social problems of modern in,
dustry. The various elements of cost
in factory operating education as en-
couraged by industry, the contribution
of the press, are also treated in the
lesson for older pupils.
