PROHIBIT THE SALE OF
HENS AND PULLETS

The rule of the Food Administra-
ton prohibiting the sale of hens and
pullets for slaughter terminated April
Goth. But listen, farmers. If the
hens and pullets and are put on the
market now it will be very unfortu-
nate for both consumer and pro-
Queer. If the markets are flooded,
the prices, w ii are now low, will be
lowered. sle layers are marketed,
the now critical egg situation will be
come worse.
1t is your duty, therefore, to the
producer, to the consumer, and to
your country, to market only nom
layers and surplus male birds. Keep
the layers until they start to moult.
BY doing this you will keep the egg
situation normal and help keep up
the price of chickens. A hen that is
laying is paying for her keep during
the time she was not laying in the
winter. If sold now she will have
been kept at loss when she will pay
her board if allowed to live
At this season of the year the hen
will find most of her living on the
farm and eat food that would be
wasted, such as weeds, grass, insects,
and garbage, etc. She is therefore,
converting waste food into a very
important food in the form of eggs.
With the present shortage of food
stuffs it will be unpatriotic for one
to kill bird that would make such
an essential food as eggs out of
waste. From patriotic as we'll as a
business standpoint, then, it will pay
you to hold your hens and pullets.
Very likely eggs will be much
higher this year than ever before.
You may save these eggs now while
they are cheap by putting them down
on water glass. The cost is less than
three cents dozen, which will mean
great saving this winter.
We should become more interested
in poultry keeping. If the war con-
tinues eggs and poultry will be in de-
mand. Write to State College of
Agriculture for the following bull
letins Nos. $50, 574, 5Ss, GA, go, 6o7,
767, 79l, SO1, 300, and SSo.

FARMERS SUBSCRIBING TO
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
{ By International News Service

Atlanta, Ga, April 26.-No feature
of the Third Liberty Loan has been
SO pleasing to the Directors of the
Sixth District campaign than the re-
spouse from the smaller towns and
rural districts.
The farmer has awakened to the
fact that he is part of the United
States" said one of the officials to-
day In the two former campaigns,
a very large proportion of the bur
den fell upon the cities which had
already paid heavily nito the Red
Cross and the Y. M. c. A. fund and
IN gifts to other war work. The
very first days of hits campaign show
ed that the money the farmer was
getting for high-priced cotton was
going into Liberty Bonds. The Farm
ers are investing heavily in United
States Liberty Bonds"
More htan fifty towns ad ncoun-
ties in the district are already LAYING
claim to the honor of flying the
Honor Flags" More than this num-
Der claim to have reached their suo-
ia the first day, many of them re-
porting PROMPTLY at the stroke of the
clock which opened the campaign.
This wholesale claim to the honor OF
flying the flag is causing the judges
a considerable problem.

Since the day of the caven,an. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our pc.
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.,
And naturally Nllows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was> first
used in producing the famous LUCKY

Burley has mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-

 Unfortunately for the ex-Crown prince, his reputation for veracity does not stand high; 1t Is even lower than that of his father, who broke his solemn pledge to respect the neu- trality of Belgium. Whenever his statements are put to the test, they prove woefully at fault. I never de- sired war he declared, in the inter- view with astonishing affrontery, for getting his famous pronouncement in favor of jolly old war
 "The presence of such a man, in- significant as his intellectually and as a soldier of Germany, is a standing plague to Europe and peace"
 The Daily Telegraph says:
 "The ex-cr5wn princes story is one which the historian will regard with justifiable skepticism. Germany is probably not particularly proud of it's former ruler and his son at the pres- ent moment. Their combined influence was the cause of the present chaos and they find nothing better to do than trv to shift all blame and responsibil- ity on their own guilty shoulders, at the cost of the perversion of all we'll established facts"

London, Dec. 5.--( British Wireless Service. )-The commandant of the notorious German prison camps of the Hanover command, who subject ed British officers to gross indigni- ties and brutal treatment have been exposed in the latest report of Sir Robert Younger, judge of the High Court of Justice, and his committee, which ha sbeen dealing with the treatment by the enemy of British prisoners z: war.
 The committees report says it IS not in the great events, involving at least one case of homicide and which will receive special attention on some other occasion. that the true significance of the German horrors is to be found, but the petty tyranny constantly exercised; the punishment of men for so-called offenses, need less restrictions and the over-bear- ing conduct of the German adminis- tration. .t5.-, e.s Fl
 The report says that in 1917, Gen. eral Won Haenisch, in charge of the prison camps, acrried out system tains Niemyer, twin brothers, con- mandants respectively at Holzminden and Kalusthal.
 General Von Haesnisch is termed as an unreasonable and cruel man en- dowsd with violent temper. He took every opportunity to curtail anything which would make the pri. son lie less irksome. He caflled the prisoners dogs and pigs, as also did General Pavlovski. inspector general of the Hanover command. These are our enemies," General Won Haenisch told the commandant at Appel. Don't orget to Nceat them as such He was speaking of French officers prisoners. In the presence of Italian prisoners, General von Haenisch said, These are our would-te allies. Do not ofrget that"
 On reaching the British sector of the line, General Ven Haenisch de- clared, speaking of the British, T am hoping every day to receive the order to send some of these people to put behind our lines to be shot by British shells"
 Captain. Niemyer. of Holzminden, is spoken of as the 'personification of hate." He would swagger up and down the camp and demand to be
 
 saluted on every passage: Those who refused to salute were sentenced to from three to six days in cells. The senior British officer who com . plained of profiteerirg in the can teen was sent to another camp. Nie- myer rejoiced in nourishin g his revolver on all occasions. He misled the neutral representatives on their visits to camps.
 The other Niemyer, the report says lied to the prisoners, to his superior officers and to the representatives of the Netherlands legatien. He sup nressed evidence by having prisoners removed to other camps. On one occasion he ordered an officer to gel down on his knees before him. Re fusing to comply, a sentry was call ed forward and forced the officer tc kneel.

Former Crown Prince Fa- n1iliaar Sight On Interned Island of Wieringen; Sub- ject to Fits of Despond- ency.

Amsterdam, Dec. 5.-The former German Grown Prince trudging over muddy country lanes i'll Dutch sabots, is a familiar sight on the Island of Wieringen, says colTcspondent of the Telegraaf. Frederick William, de- clares that what he misses most is a riding horse. He plays billiards with the villagers and treats them to drinks and smokes and buys candy for the children.
 The younger Hohenzol'ern has his breakfast at 8:30 o'clock and his din- ner at p. m. He eats oysters and drinks champagne regularly, unlike his father, who dimes plainly. Never the less. he is reported to suffer from fits of depression.
 Some times, according to eye wit nesses, he dons full uniform re- splendent with medals and parades in front of the mirror. He then resumes a woolen sweater and knickerbockers and plays the violin. He is said to have deep dread of Spanish influ .'nza and takes preventative medi- cines regular. He becomes extremely nervous. it is added, when strangers near him make abrupt movements.
 "You English clamor to get father and me away from Holland. We are down and out and my father is a broken man. Isn't that enough pun ishment?" The former German Crown Prince said in an interview on the 1s- land of Wieringen, where he is in termed. with correspondent of the Daily Mirror.
 ,1. Iol hot 1o al ways favored an agreement between Germany and Great Britain, and wished them to work together. A number of his best friends were in England and he only wished he could live there as private citizen.
 "I ouarreled with my father in re- gard to Great Britain" he continued "I told him the British would be against us. He never believed this and would not take into account that possibility"
 "The interview" saws the Daily News. "unlike some documents of this sort. bears every evidence of genuine ness It's main purpose is. as We m'pht evne"t not very hrsve ore. It is intended to exculpate the for'ner r~cwn prirce at the evnorse of any body else who happened to < be con -c~;ent
 "Nct the least si"nifin"n+ naesape of tho interview is the Ora'se of pres- 'dar+ Wilson. That is not due ta rratitnde. It was the president who boiled the issne of the wer down to the for~a~ German Amneror." The L'vernool> Post. in an ironica| ca;+~~:a' saws:
