Years of. the Mexican War

The Mexican war of 1S48 lasted
nearly two years. The first actual COL

a special message to congress reciting
the facts and grievances, and said !:
"As war exists, and Notwithstanding
all our efforts to avoid it, exists by
the act of Mexico herself, we are
called upon by every consideration of
duty and patriotism to vindicate with
decision the honor, the rights and the
interests of our country" During 1916

May 8; battle of Monterey, September

Claim Porcelain industry
Successfully Launched 10
u. S. as Result Of the War

An important development in the
pottery industry Of the United States
is the production of chemical porce-
lain, the manufacture Of which In this
country was considered impossible be-
fore the war. Several operators are
now making chemical porcelain, says
the U. S. Geological Survey Bulletin,
which satisfactorily meets the exact
ing requirements of the laboratory.
In 1917 the value Of the output of
every variety of pottery classified by
the geological survey, except red
earthenware, was greater than IN 1916:
White ware showed the largest in
crease-$2, ,729,O79, or Is per cent. Por-
celain electrical supplies also showed
q large increase-$2, Al, ,166, or "a per
cent. China, the highest grade of pot
terry, has been a minor Hr0duct in
value, yet its value in 1917 showed an
increase of $1,327, ,534,, or 38 per cent,
compared with 1916. Its value In 1917
was nearly twice as great as In 1913.
The value Of white ware, including
china, which comprises the general
household wares and constitutes more

pottery, was $25,726,375 I'm 1917, an
Increase of $4,O566 613, or 10 per cent.
over 1915. If to this sum is added
the value of the high-grade products,

supplies, the total value in 1917 was

Why the Barber Pole Is
Painted Red and White

The barber pole Is souvenir OF the
days when all kinds Of business We're
represented by pictorial signs, largely
because ability to read was not, gen.
eral. An explanation Of the barber
pole is that it comes from the time
when barbering was done by surgeons
or physicians and when the practice
of bleeding for all kinds Of illness pre-
vailed. The barber stripes, according
to this explanation, picture the blood
stain on white cloth so frequently to
be observed after taking the bleeding
treatment. The barber pole has moth
ing to do with national colors.

Tell Character of Child
BY Number of Days It Was
Born After the New Moon

There Is q very ancient superstition
which says that it is possible to tell
the approximate character of child
by the number of days it was born
after the appearance of the new moon.
The following are the most important
Indications:
If born within twenty-four hours
after q new moon the child will live
to good old age, and practically ev.
erything he undertakes in life will be
successful.
If born within two days after the
new moon the child will be fortunate,
particularly in accidental things.
If upon the third day, this person
will achieve success, largely through
the help and assistance of others.
If upon the fourth day, the child
will not be so successful in life, and
may have several serious illnesses.
Born upon the fifth day, such a per-
son will prove successful If care be
taken to start certain enterprises at
certain times.
The sixth is not a good day, as q
rule. Dreams are untrustworthy.
The seventh days child will have
many troubles but will conquer them
all.
On the eighth, success; dreams will
prove helpful and lost articles found.
Riches and honor await the child
born upon the ninth day.
The tenth day is unfavorable on the
whole, especially to boys.
A long, happy life to those born on
the eleventh day.
All dreams of the twelfth-day child
will prove true quickly.

CHICKEN HOUSE
NEEDS VENTILATION

TTTVCTCVTVVV
Good ventilation in the chicken
house is essential to success In the
poultry business, according to Ross NJ.
Sherwood, poultry husbandry special
ist in the extension division of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
1.-THE two methods most commonly
used are the open-frunt house and the
curtain.front house." said Mr.. Sher-
wood. 'The open front provides the
most fresh mir and is giving excellent
results in some sections, but many
persons find it desirable to have cur
tains that may be placed over most OF
the openings during bad weather. 1t
has been found that house closed on
three sides and tightly curtained on
the south does not provide enough
fresh air. TO remedy this, a narrow
opening is often made just under the
rafters. This causes freer circula-
ton Of air than is possible with oil
the opening curtained, and yet does not
allow the wind to blow on the fowls"
The large curtalned openings should
be from 80 to 36 inches from the floor
in order that the wind may not sweep
in directly upon the flock.
During the summer months openings
on the other sides of the building ore
necessary to make it cool enough that
the fowls will roost there. These OPEN
ings should be so located that the birds
will not be in direct draft during the
night. These extra openings should be
closed tightly in winter.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago Oct 25.-Uncertainty of the in- dustrial situation tended to halt business today in the corn market and weaken prices. The close was unsettled 1-4 to l 1-4c net lower with December S1.25 34 ito $1.25 7-S and May $1.22 34 to S1.22 7-s. Oats finished unchanged at 1Sc down and provisions unchanged to 5c decline.
 Dealings in the corn pit were chiefly local. The May delivery was weaker than the December because of the fact that at present the movement of corn is likely to be curtaled by the railroad admin. istra tion rule making individual permits d necessity for all shipments.
 Oats were nearly stagnant, except sales of 25O.OOO bushels to New England. Price changes kept within unusually mar TOW limits.
 Firmness In the go market helped to steady provisions. Besides, the recent decline of prices was said to have in- creased the demand for meats.

But no sooner had these things occurred to me than l cast them aside. as being out of the question. Crittenden finally came in "a little past one-he was always late and it seemed that whatever was in store for us, he didn't deem it important enough to cause him to hurry. We had lunch together with out him so much as hinting as to what our pleasure was to be. When we had finished, he arose abruptly and said: "Get your hat, we're go- ing to the movies" My heart sank within me but I struggled bravely to keep back the tears and after don ming my latest fall creation an- nounced that we were ready to go to the street. And then we started. It seemed that almost as soon as we were on our way, Crittenden's mood changed. Where he had been light hearted before, he seemed heavy hearted now. After talking about our afternoon of pleasure and keep. ing me awake the entire night, Crit tenden suddenly became as quiet as a mouse. We strode down the ave- nue to the suburban movie on the next corner, Crittenden acting in much the same manner as man who is going to perform very un- pleasant duty.

So l assumed an air of gay ety I did not feel. Of course-it was the woman in me and I couldn't help it-I naturally began to "rave" about the pulchritude of MT. Bushman.

They do not care for wom- an themselves, but they refuse to let her admire perfection in any others of their sex.
 After various attempts at praise of MT. Bushman, I tried a concilia- tory line, and said:
 q do think, Crittenden, that he is really wonderful man. Of course, you are the only man in the world for me, but Bushman is nice." "Humph," was his convincing re- joinder.
 As we neared our own home, he ventured the only remark about the picture that he made.
 "That fellow represents everything that I don't represent" he said. lost my temper. "That's why like him." I said.
 It was subtle but I think he saw the point.
