hens. Usually there will be a place in
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. II such place
is not available, box large enough
(about 2 feet square) for the hens to
get into it should be provided in the
house and a quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
in it to allow the hens a place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
In keeping lice In check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number TO prove particularly
harmful However, it is better to keep
the hens as free as possible from this

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
AS Necessary for Laying Fowls in Win
ter as in Surnmer-Keep Windows
and Doors Open.

The henhouse needs fresh air--as
much in the winter as in the summer.
Ii is as necessary to laying hens as
clean water and good feed. Badly ven
tilated houses make hens lose vitality,
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick and stop laying altogether. Ven
tiIation is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation of
the air is poor in cold weather, mois-
ture collects on The inside of The walls
ami roof. AT freezing temperature
uOder such conditions there is a rapid
accumulation of frost" on these sur
faces which makes the house very un-
comfortable.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness ina poultry house is simply
matter of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water in the house.
Then the tendency is TO close doors
and windows to keep the house warm.
4 general rule which may be followed
is to open doors aud windows as wide
as is necessary 10 keep the house dry
in cold weather and to,keep them wide
open when<Water in the house viii not
freeze.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETr.

(Esditors Note: This is the first of a series of articles which MT. Corbett is writing concerning the career of the late Stanley Ketchel, one of the most marvellous ring warriors of all time. The next installment will appear tomorrow.)
 Stanley Kstchel fought in the division made famous by such marvellous war riors as Bob F'itzsimmons, Jack Demp sey, Charlie Mitchell, Kid Mccoy and a score cf others whose names and deeds add glorious chapters to ring history. And yet there are many, knowing full well the greatness of each. who acclaim Ketchel the greatest middleweight of all time"
 To me, Fob FTtzsimmons ever will ap- peal as the nliddleweight without peer; as the king of all the kings that reigned in the 15s-pound division. But I accord to Ketchel the distinction of being perhaps the greatest fighter for his weight and inches that the ring game has produced in nearly two decades. And to ketchel must go the added glory of being as fearless a man as ever stepped into prize ring.
 Never in all the fights in which he engaged did Ketchel ever show the re- motest trace of fear. Confidence was his in every battle he fought-coni- dence that was superb for the audience to look upon; awe-inspiring for his foes to witness.
 Stanley ketchel loved to fight-loved the excitement and the danger of phys,- cal combat. He was never really happy outside the ring, finding his greatest pleasure in biting his skill, his brains. his strength and his terrible punch against that of a foeman. Opponents could not he brought before Stanley Ketchel fast enough to suit him. And Ketchel never cared how much bigger they were or how much heavier.

that makes it all the nicer for me-" ketche1 used to say. "I don't want lemons. They don't even furnish a fei- low with a real workout. Give me the tough ones-the tougher the better"
 No man of the countless thousands who have graced the prize ring in the 200 years that pugilism has been d sport has compiled knockout recor l more wonderful than that of Stanley ketchel From 1903, when his career be- gan, until he was sent to his grave in 1910 by an assassins bullet Stanley ketchel mingled in 5S battles-and won A with knockout wallops.
 Just to show how remarkable was Ketchels ring record, which charges him with only four defeats, I shall give you herewith the summary
 Total fights, 58.
 Won with knockout, A.
 Won by decision, 3.
 Draw, 3
 No decislon 4.
 Lost by knockout, 2
 Lost on decision, 2
 The record of ketchel becomes even more remarkable when one takes into consideration the fact that he won about two-thirds Of his fights in five rounds or less He scored 8 knockout victories in the first round, in the second, in the third round, 5 in the fourth and in the fitth--a total of 27.
 Once, during the heydey of his career a friend of Ketchels said to him:
 Stan, you don't give the crowd it's moneys worth. They want to see a lot of you, but you go right out and slam the other guy for a goal in the quickest time possihle-and then the show is over"
 Ketchers reply was characteristic of fSm:
 q am fighter and it's my belief.'' he said, that fighter should fgh, at top speed from gong to gong. 1 don't believe in stalling or in fancy stuff. Part of a fight crowd likes to sec a lot of boxing, but I believe that the majority Of 'em hope to see a knock out wallop landed in a hurry. aim to please the majority"

Auniston, July 7.-(SpeciaL)-John Jones. the Oxford soldier recently re- ported missing in action and later re- norted as being captured by the Ger nans. is still unaccounted for, accord ing to a letter received this week ny his mother, Mrs. Robert P. Jones, rom Capt Ravee Norris, commanding Com- pany M, 167th infantry.
 Captain Norris writes Mrs. Jones that lie considers the loss of her son as a great blow to the company to which he belonged. The captain describes him as having been an excellent sol dier a good boy, always cheerful in every sense of the word, and ready to help anyone who needed help.
 The company commander further states that John Jones had won place in the hearts of every officer and man in the company, and a great effort was made to rescue him from the German soldiers after it was known that he had been captured. The captain eX- presses the hope that the local man may be returned alive after the war is over, but admits that he may have been kllleu by Iciiho' SSAN,S'' after his capture.
 A feature of the letter written by Captain Norris to the Oxford mother calls attention to the fact that Jones was captured on Mothers day, and this is what he had to say: NO doubt he had gone out that day with the thoughts of mother and of how proud she would be to know that he was giving his best for the cause in which all mankind was struggling, because that was 'Monthers day" and was being observed by all the troops of America, but he honored you more than merely wearing a flower or writ nerve and courage and the love of a mother to do."
 The oxford soldier had won the reg ulation service stripe awarded Ameri- can soldiers after six months foreign service, and as the emblem had not been delivered to him the stripe was enclosed in the letter addressed to Mrs. Jones. This stripe is worn, point down, on the left sleeve of the blouse, four inches above the cuff and will always be cherished by the parents of the Oxford soldier who has probably made < the supreme sacrifice or who may even now be undergoing the torturcs reported to be inflicted on the prison CTS of war captured by the hated Huns.
 Jones is the second man reported < killed or missing in action from the < Oxford company.
