Market Poultry Slowly

On April Is, the order from
the National Food Administra-
ton prohibiting the sale of
laying hens terminated and as
a result in a great many local
tiles individual farmers have
planned to rush their poultry
on the market in order to Sc
cure ready cash. IL. B.Lans-
den, Poultry Specialist with
the Extension Division, says:
Better market poultry slow
ly and keep prices up. glut-
ted market will mean a certain
financial loss to the people OF
our state. The best way Will
be to save back the hens ana
market slowly. This will en-
able us to keep up the egg pro-
duction and maintain the pres
ent good prices for live poul-
try.

WELCOME ABROAD
AWAITS PRESIDENT

LONDON, Nov. 22.-President VIII
son is assured of the most cordial re-
ception in every allied c6untry, both
from the people and from officials.
There are many evidences that the
Executive head OF the American re-
public would receive a welcome such
as ha- never before been accorded a
foreign dignitary. Receipt of the
news that he definitely had decided
personally to attend the coming peace
conference served to. make manifest
the great respect and affection felt
on this side for the man who so
clearly has outlined the policies of
the worlds democracies in the war.
There is absolutely no spirit of
criticism C jealousy in any of the
nations with which the United States
is associated in the war. All former
hostility on account of Americas
tsrdy entrances into the conflict has
been smothered in gratitude. Not only
because of the republics timely help.
without which it is generally recog-
nized the war would not have been
won, but also because of Mr.. Wilson's
mastery handling of the conversa-
tions before the signing of the armis-
tice.
The allies now not only trust the
American Executive, but are depend
ing on his counsel and advice, thor
oughly appreciating his hfgh-minded-
ness and his vision.
1t Is understood that while Mr. Will
son was considering the advisability
of a trip to this side of the Atlantic,
both Lloyd George and Clemenceau
were urging him to come to the peace
conference. 1t is believed his final
decision was largely the result of
their representations.
