STRIVING FOR EARLY BIRDS

The early bird-referring to
poultry-not only gets the worm,
but seems to have every advantage
over the one that comes late. Upon
early Matching largely depends the
success of poultry keeping, say
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, who are
now conducting a hatch early
campaign-one of the most import
ant in the poultry program. Early
Matched stock, they say. produce
well-matured, vigorous pullets,
which will begin laying in the fall
and early winter, and it is only
from such early mating pullets thai
the best production and greatest
profit can be secured.

The hosts give away all their property, and the man who reserves the smallest article of value loses face with the tribe, and is ever afterward an object of derision and scorn.
 This system of promiscuous giving is responsible for nine-tenths of the suffering among the tribes along the Kuskokwim and other points. A sea- son of plenty is followed by an orgie of giving, and the patient Eskimo starts out the beginning of the winter perhaps, without even gun or trap or any article of value to provide substance for the long, cold winter.

far-sighted reformers have consecrated their In
dividua talents educational institutions have IN
agurated agricultural courses, newspapers have
been founded, the government itself has lent its
powerful hand, poets have sung their sweetest
songs, artists have painted their most enhancing
pictures philanthropists have launched their elo-

i It is another case of the old woman trying
to sweep the tide back with her broomstick. With
an irresistible power the ever-advancing wave
keeps sweeping cityward, leaving the fertile
fields to go back to the wilderness and jeopardiz-
ing the very existence of the nation.
1t must be great temptation to the cynlc,
the satirst, the jester and the clown to make at
least little fun of this topoftical creature man,
who boasts so loudly of his conquest of the forces
of the natural universe when they watch his help

with anything but comic emotions to observe the
flow of this steady and irresistible current. He

ing high prices for the necessities of life, hunger
and eventually starvation.
Already the danger has become peril, acute
and universal, and whoever thinks at all must
realize that either the intelligence the will of
man must grapple with this apparently irresist-
ible law of gravitation and harness it for service
instead of destruction.
Far be it from our humble selves to try to
solve problem which has COMPOUNDED the intel
iigence of so many masters. But we cannot help
wondering whether the government may not
eventually have to resort to some sort of con-
scription of it's citizens to work it's farms, exact
y it did to fight its battles! Somebody has got
to work these abandoned fields, and if citizens
do not do it of our volition we may have to be
forced to do it by the will of the nation!
We yet may live to see brigades of young men
and maidens armed with shovels, hoes and rakes,
milk pals and churns, starting out at daybreak
from the cities and the fields under the command
of competent leaders to SOW the seeds and reap
the grain of future harvests!

John Zwissler thought thirty-five
loaVes a day was good output when
ne came here from Muncie forty years
ago, in 1879, and started a little bake
ry and restaurant at 90S Main street,
where he was located until 1918.
But zwissler for several years turn
ed out more than 10000 loaves a day.
besides having the largest pastry and
cake output in the city While his
bread production is smaller just now,
he is specializing on cakes and pastry
and has an enormous output of each.
In 1879 and for many years there
after he did all his baking in the
rear of his Main street restaurant.
But IN 1906 he was forced by the press
OF business, then 5000 loaves a day,
to open his present bakery and store
room at % South Fifth street.
Zwissler predicts the time when all
bread will be bakers bread. When
he started there was not as much
bakers bread sold in the city as he
now makes each day.

An old man, SO the story goes. plant
ed his potatoes and onions in the
same hills together. When a drought
came the onions were so strong that
they brought tears to the eyes of the
potatoes, thus watering the onions.
Some of the city home gardeners tried
just such stunts last year, but on the
whole, the gardens were a success.
The school of experience sometimes
collects high tuition fees, but after
all experience is the best teacher and
the people who made mistakes in
planting their gardens last season are
going to profit by those very mistakes
this year
One serious mistake made by MANY
city gardeners was planting too great
a variety of vegetables in a small
space, with consequent crowding and
poor growth. 1t is much better for
the gardener whose space is limited to
plant comparatively few kinds of
vegetables, not more than ten or
twelve out of possible fifty or sixty.

Another Possible Consumption

The problem of putting the idle fields of the
United States into crops is again engaging popu-
lar interest Great stress has been placed in the
last decade the advantages of farm life both
from the standpoint of residence and of financial
returns, but somehow or other our citizens pre-
fer city life to residence in the country, the re-
suit being that thousands of acres are left uncu-
tivated.
The Cincinnati Enquirer suggests that an
other CONSUMPTION of our man and woman power
may be necessary to get our people back on the
farms. 1t says:
Were it not so serious it would be supremacy
funny to observe the futility of the efforts put
forth to increase the ratio of farmers to our ur-
ban population.
With the single exception of the propaganda
to float the liberty loans there has probably
been more intelligent or more earnest attempt
in these United States to do something for the
good of the nation than that to turn the tide Of

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Disconnected Soldier

The following editorial from the Indianapoli:
News is of more than passing interests
Many men recently discharged from the army
navy or marine corps report that even after two
or three months they find some difficulty in ad
iusting themselves to the conditions of civilian
life. Those whose services entailed much trave
and frequent changes of scenery and living condi.
tons report that at times they seized with e
strong desire to pick up few essential belong
lngs and move on great many OF them, broad
ened by travel and quickened by the strenuous
routine of the training camp feel as though the
Job that was satisfactory when they left it is
now somewhat beneath their capacity.
AS matter of fact these men are much bet
ter men than they were when they left. 1t was
the business of the various training camps and
stations to make better men out of the material
that came to their hand, and they did it. Fur
thermOre, they convinced the man that after he
passed the recruit stage he better man. 1t
was part of his training that he should think we'll
of himself. He may not talk about it, but he acts
it and looks it, it must be there. 1t is valu-
able asset, which must be defined Independent of
his desire to rove. Confusion of the two is likely
to increase the ranks of the professional tramp
rather than to supply the demand for better men
in all walks of life.
This discomfort is really challenge to the in
creased ability of the returned service man. If
service discipline has done anything for him it
has taught him the value of complete and instant
command of the elements of a working unit. AS
far as his career is concerned he is working
unit, and his business is to reduce his faculties
to state of discipline in which he can exploit
them to his best advantage. If he can concen-
trate his thoughts upon plans to apply his mill
tary training to his civilian job, and devote his
energies to demonstrating his increased eff
cheney, his discomfort will soon wear off and he
will have no trouble in working himself into a
job which will exercise his new ability.
