GERMAN GASSES

There are four kinds of gas which
the Bochs use (have introduced) in
their helljsh warfare to repel and to
kill, in an agony of suffocatiOn, troops
they have been unable to overcome in
fair fighting.
The gas that makes the eyes smart
and weep so copiously as to tempo
rarily impair their use.
The gas that especially attacks and
burns the tender parts Of the body
under the arms and in the crotch.
The gas that shrivels mucous mem
branes and wholly blinds the victim
for ninety hours.
The gas that is projected in a ball
envelope, which drops without noise
and opens without explosion to re-
lease its odorless but fatal fumes.
And there is a fifth-wily, deadly
and equally difficult to escape-tht
gas of German propaganda.
The first four are employed ir
front Of the lines, the fifth in and
behind the lines. And the toll Of the
fifth exceeds that of the other fOui
combined.

HOW TO SET A HEN

The first sign of u hen being brOOdy
wanting to set) is that she stays
longer on the nest when laying, and
m being approached will quite likely
'emain and make q clucking noise,
uffle her feathers and peck at the in
.ruder. When it is noted that a hen
sets on q nest from two to three
nights in succession and that the
'eathefs are disappearing from her
breast, which should feel hot to the
hand, she is ready to be transferred
for setting to nest which has pre-
,iously been prepared. The normal
temperature of hen is from LOG to
lO7 degrees F., which varies slightly
Turing incubation.
The nest should be in some quiet,
out-of- -the-way place, where the set
ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest ut
night and handle her carefully in do
ing so. Put china egg or two in the
nest where she is to set and place a
board over thc>ppening so that she
can not get off.
Toward the evening of the second
day quietly go to where she is setting.
leave some feed and water, remove
the board from the front or top Of the
nest, and let the hen come of when
she is ready. Should she return to the
nest after feeding, remove the china
egg or eggs and put under those that
are to be incubated. If the nests are
slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless.
At Matching time they should be
confined and not be disturbed until the
hatch is completed, unless thdy be-
come restless, when it may be best 70
remove the chicks that are hatched
first. In cool weather it is best not
to put more than 10 eggs under hen
while later in the spring one can put
12 or is, according to the size Of the
hen.
Dust the hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet, the
head down, working the powder into
the feathers, giving special attention
10 regions around the vent and under
the wings. The powder should also
be sprinkled in the nest.

RED CROSS WORKERS

Miss Gretchen Bilharz, while in St

Of instructions in the making Of sur
gical dressing department, and this
affords the local chapter the assist
ance that is needed. Miss Bilhara
was appointed by the board to act as
instructor in the work. The Red
Cross rules it seems, requires that the
work must be under the supervision
of some person who has taken the
regular course and earned diploma.
The executive board also has under
way the matter of getting an in
structor here from st. Louis to help in
starting a class; also a lecturer.
The urgent need of the Red Cross
workers in Baxter is some suitable
place where the ladies may do the
work. Mr.. Mitchell very generously
donated the use of the rear of his
jewelry store and q room in the Ii
brary has also been in use, but both
of these places are too small and will

Ben Patton, chairman of the caucus
committee, opened the meeting and
read the call, after which +. c. Nc
Williams was chosen chairman, and
Atty. Station, securetary.
The attendance was good and was
fairly representative of the citizen
ship. In the first ward Mr.. Wells was
nominated unanimously, but in the
second ward there was a close contest
between Clare Youse, the nominee
and w. T. Hartley; in the third ward
the contest was between ]. w. Barnes,
present incumbent, and Mr.. Kalten-
bach, the nominee.
According to the understanding ar
rived at here several years ago it has
been the custom to consider the re-
gularly called caucus hs the place for
selecting candidates and the elections
have for several years been without
strife. The rule has proven a good
one and has kept harmony in city mat
ters. Whether the old custom will be
changed this year remains to be seen.
The regular nominees are all good
men, progressive and aggressive, and
without doubt, if elected, will see to ii
that a number Of greatly needed i'm
provements in the city will be speeded
up rs much as possible.
Charles Wells, in the First ward,
before accepting the nomination, in q
short speech declared that he stood
for a progressive policy, the applica-
ton of strict business principles to
city affairs, and if elected he would
give his best efforts to obtaining for
Baxter good municipal water plant,
he would favor the development Of
the sewers, improved lighting service
and the paving of the business sec
ton. "Baxter is not the Baxter Of q
year ago." said Mr.. Wells, land n
year hence it will not be the Baxter
of today. We should get ready for
the growth that is bound to come" ."
Mr.. Wells thought that he ought to
make his position understood so that
no one would vote for him under a
misapprehension.

NEW FOUNTAIN AT
PAGES DRUG STORE

The elegant new marble soda fount-
ain in Pages Drug Store under in

GARDEN To EVERY FAMILY
Food Shortage Is Even More Acut,
Than Last Year and Many More
Gardens Must Be Cultivated

A home garden for every family il
even more important this year thar
it was last. The United States hat
Just entered the war last year when
the garden season opened. A year Of
experience in reduced consumption
rlnrportation difficulties, and high
prices has demonstrated the wisdom
Of those who raised gardens last
year.
The food shortage is even more
acute this year than it was last. The
railroads are burdened with war or.
ders and prices are still advancing
The necessity for producing and con-
serving food is, therefore, greater this
year than it was last. The home gar
den will not only produce vegetables
that will reduce the consumption Of
other foods during the summer, but il
will produce vegetables that will take
The place of other foods next winter
Every can of vegetables that is pre-
served this summer means just one
more can that will not have to be
transported next year for local con-
sumption and it relieves just that
much more food for the army and fol
those persons who are not prepared
to cultivate a garden.
