 The report was given out through Red Cross channels that the officer would present the cross to the mother of the brave soldier. but this estimable woman has passed to her reward with out knowing, perhaps, that she was the mother of a hero. MT. Givens, the father of Homer, resides near Florence.

The request made over and over by Blr- mingham people is to be complied with at last Yeast breads are to be demon strated at the Hoover kitchen all of next week. Rye bread, raisin rye bread, rice bread, cinnamon rolls, barley bread and potato breads are to be made. The ma terials used will be rice, potatoes, corn starch, barley flour, rice flour and rye flour.
 The hours for public demonstrations are 10 a. m. and p. m. on Wednesdays and Friday.
 We are glad to announce that Hoo yer kitchen cook book is in course or preparation and will be ready for the public in about three weeks.
 An interesting piece of new equipment in the kitchen is a fireless cooker stove recently installed. As the stove stands, it is a beautiful gas range, which, by simple adjustment, is quickly trans formed into a fireless cooked Hoods on top of the range make this feature pos sible for boiling, steaming etc, and then the oven can be changed into a fireless cooking oven.
 Don't forget the bread-making demon strations.
 Probably one of the most frequently used words in our vocabularies of today is the word "loyalty.''
 A hint of disloyalty from any given quarter means that some persons very life is jeopardized. We are all loyal to ouf government, and as the food admin istration is an exceedingly important part of the government, it naturally fol- lows that we must be absolutely loyal to the food administration. This seema the only attitude possible on our part when we take into consideration the ideal policy which the government has adopted toward us. In many countries the food rationing is compulsory while our government has put us on our honor through "The Honor Ration," which has recently been given us. Instead of saying, You must,' they ask, "Wili

Poultry has been called the crop
that never fails. It offers n Of the
best ways of increasing food produc-
ton on short notice. Poultry uses feed
more economically probably than any
other class Of farm animal when it is
carefully handled. It will produce a

of grain when protein concentrates are
fed. Pullets will begin laying In from
6 to 8 months. Cockerels are ready
for market at the age Of Il to 16
weeks.
There is good money in poultry and
eggs If the flock is properly managed.
Very little capital is required and ex-
pensive stock and equipment are I'M
necessary. Careful management and
feeding are more important than ex-
pensive equipment.

Queer. In fact a lack Of feather growth
is one Of the points to consider when
selecting hens for winter laying.
Very often show birds are forced
into summer mott by a restriction OF
feed. This is done so that the birds
may be in full feather nee mor for
the early show season. This should
never be practiced with utility stock.
It will cause production to stop and
weaken the hens at a time of the year
when full strength is needed. 1t is
unwise to change the general character
Of the feed. The addition Of some oil
carrying ingredient, however, such as
sunfower seed, will aid in the develop
ment of new feathers.
Chickens may be produced econOmi-
cally on city and suburban lots by
utilizing the food wastes from the
kitchen. Under such conditions, hens
may be kept proftably for egg produc-
ton. On farms, chickens thrive on
bugs, insects and worms, seeds, wild
berries, weeds and grasses, and give
the cheapest meat product pound for
pound.
The labor required by chickens is
slight, which is an important consider
alton when man-labor is scarce. 1t
can be performed by women, children,
convaleseents and elderly people.
