She replied readily. "There is little
to tell, and to that you are welcome.
My father was under obligations to
him. Mr.. Hardwick helped him when
he was in financial straits, and then
then he said he did not want the mon

he returned shortly. He left his chair
and walked to the rail, appalled, by his
unprecedented words. Marriage at
no time had occurred to him. He had
enjoyed Rachers society, but nearer
intimacy he had not considered. Then,
as she stood looking out across the
moonlit sea, he again visualized his

est demand for the holiday trade is
for the smaller birds suitable for a
dinner for an ordinary family.
The plumage of the bronze is very
attractive. The feathers are bronze or
dull black with bands of white across.
The bronze tint gives pleasing color
effects.
One common objection has been that
the bronze hen is not a very good
layer. But it is generally found that
laying is largely an individual charac-
teristic. Many prefer the bronze and
generally this breed by far outnumbers
the others on the holiday market.
The bronze turkeys are close de-
scendants of the American wild tur-
key, which is still found in some parts
of our country. The young of the
domesticated birds soon show ten
dency to wander in search of food.
They can fly to an astonishing height
when it becomes necessary.

CORRECT CARE AND FEEDING

fowls with improper care will not pro-

an abundance of warm water along

winter. The main compOnents of
poultry feeds are protein, fats, and
carbohydrates. The fats and carbo-
hydrates form the yolk and protein
and water are largely required to pro-

help lie the work of inStructing local
Boy Scouts. Merit badges are award

Now is the time to dispose Of sur

about the same price for six-pound

MAKE WINTER LAYERS WORK

You should make every winter layer
work for part of her living, which may
be best accomplished by scattering
part Of her feed in litter. The exer-
else they get from scratching for the
grain is very important. The exercise
serves to keep up the bodily health,
stimulates the organs of digestion and
tire system. Feeding is one of the
most important items in winter egg

FEEDING FOWLS FRESH MEAT

It is common practice on many
farms to feed fowls fresh meat
throughout the winter. Rabbits, horses
and farm animals of one kind or an
other are safely used for this purpose
during freezing weather. There is
great danger from ptomaine poisoning
occurring where this practice is con.
tinued under careless methods and

A REASONABLE MEASURE

The Intelligencer has heretofore
noted the approval OF the proposition
before Congress providing for the
quarterly payment of income and ex-
cess profits taxes. 1t is a good propo-
sition, and one that will in, no manner
embarrass the Treasury Department.
On the other hand. the payment of
these taxes in bulk will greatly incon-
venience If not embarrass, many cor
porations. II this quarterly payment
is Objectionable TO the government,
surely 1t cannot object to the relief
sought by bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Medill Mccormick which
would permit the payment of these
taxes in two installments, on June Is
and October Is, instead Of by single
payment in June, now stipulated by
law. This strikes Us as an easement
that is not only reasonable, but a con-
sideration that is due the corporations
and industries that have 10 bear these
heavy burdens.
Representative Mccormick in speak
ing Of the measure he sponsors,
calls attention 10 the fact that as the
law now stands there must be paid
into the Treasury in taxes the sum of
$1,000, 100000, and that $3.pOu. 100000
