along. And then if he dies, the
editor gets the most valuable news
of all. Not that he is ever glad
of the misfortune, but the news is
worth money to him just the
same. Maybe the undertaken gets
a little more than the editor, but
it is the only chance he has had
at the victim during his career,
while the editor has been pulling
something outrof him all along the

POINTS FOR BEGINNERS IN
POULTRY RAISING.

The safest way for those who
are about to make their first at
tempt at poultry raising is to start
in a small way with a few fowls,
and learn the business thoroughly
before making large investments.
Mistakes will be made and many
difficult problems will be pre-
scented for solution before success
in any large measure will be at
tanned. As soon as it is found to
be a paying investment, more cap
ital may be put into the plant.
Another good plan for the be-
ginner who wishes to learn the
art of poultry keeping is to Sc
cure a position with some success
full poultryman. One or two years
Of work on large, practical plant
will be found great help, as the
methods Of caring for the birds
and of marketing the products can
thus be learned better than ia al
most any other way.
The question is often asked as
to what is the best time Of the
year for one to begin. When to
begin is not verv important, but
the fall of the year is a good
time, for then stock can be pur-
chased for less money than at any
other season. 1t is also advisable
that the fowls be moved to their
new quarters before they begin to
Law.
If the beginner has had expert
ence in poultry Keeping, it will be
all right to purchase eggs, other
wise he should begin with the
fowls and thus gain some knowl-
edge of caring for poultry before
attempting to raise chickens.

THE EDITOR 8 ADVANTAGE.

Did you ever stop to think OF
how many more whacks the edi-
tor sets at his victim than any
other business man in town does
With the editor the whacking
process lasts from the cradle to
the grave. When a person il
born, even before the preacher
gets a chance to baptize him, the
editor has congratulated the hap
py parents and has specified in ex-
travagant phrases the weight, sex
and pedigree Of the new arrival.
At the christening the editor often
manages to squeeze at personal
item of interest to his readers
which is far better than the
preacher can do. for he has to
charge up his labors to the Lord,
who is far harder to get cash out
Of even than d subscriber. When
the victim graduates from the
town high school the editor gem
orally expects to reap about
column Of good reading matter
and often prints picture. Then
If the victim gets married, the
preacher gets FIVE dollars and the
editor gets twenty-five dollars
worth Of surprise for his readers.
When Mr.. Victim gets sick the
doctor gets a faint chance Of some
day collecting a bill against him,
but the editor has some cash news

body and plain sleeves reveal the
slender and childish figure and SUD-
port straight skirt that is gathered
on at the waist line. A fril of plait-
ed silk about the round neck is in
the same blue as the dress. But a mar
rover frill of white batiste adds a
crisp freshness, as often as it is need
ed. This is one of the severest of
school frocls, but we do not grow tired
of these plain dresses.
There are a number of successful
models for the younger misses in

show pipings,' facings and vestees

ways good color combination when
the red is used with much restraint.
Very small buttons, narrow ribbon
bows and ties and sheer collar and
cuff sets in white cotton goods figure
in the smart details of the school girls
dress. Also there are several new
fabrics in brown, blue and oxford and
in tasteful mixtures of color that
insure variety in the quiet company
of school dresses with which the
younger misses face their school year.

RAT MENACES HEALTH

r"ohe Health Service Urges That
Measures Be Taken to De-

Washington.-You pay one-half of
one cent every day for the support
and sustenance OF a brown rat ac-
cording TO figures compiled by the
United States public health service.
There is one rat, at least, for every
person In the United States. This es-
innate is considered conservative. but
comedies with that for Great Britain
ana ireland, and also with authorita-
tive figures for Denmark, France and
Germany. The annual upkeep per ro-
uent was computed by the same au-
thorities as $lS0 In Great Britain,
$l.2O In Denmark, and 81 In France.
The depredations in this country will
very probably exceed the estimate for
Great Britain. One-half a cent day
Is considered conservative but even
on this computation, It costs the Unit
ed States $1S0,000000 year to sup
port its rat population.
1t Is because of this terrific economic
loss and the additional fact that rats
are constant menace to the public
health that the public health service
has issued a warning to the country to

fronts come first, and the Y. NJ. @. A.
trips to Chateau-Thierry, Belleau
Wood, Rheims, scissors and the Che
min-des-Dames are so popular that the
boys have to draw lots every day for
the coveted free tickets, as only 100
persons can be taken on each trip.
But all the other trips the Y. NJ G. A.
has arranged for American soldiers
and sailors are studies In beauty and
art and history amid pleasures and
palaces, and the eagerness and In
telligence with which the boys go
on these expeditions is plain evidence
of their essential soundness of heart
and mind.
The first day, as a rule, the boys get
aboard the big "Y" sightseeing auto
mobiles and see Paris. Then they go
by special train to the palaces Of
Versailles Fontainebleau, Malmaison
and ST. German. Next they come
back to Paris and spend a day in the
Louvre. And then those still keen
for palaces are invited to take another
trip to the jewel of them all, the ia
nous chateau of the Condos and Mont
morencys at Chanfilly.
Thousands of American soldiers have
visited Chantilly this year and have
learned something of place which
many wealthy tourists overlooked. In
deed, though many Americans visited
Chantilly in years before the war,
large percentage of them saw only the
race course and never visited the
chateau. Yet many experts hold that

Waynesboro Burglar Is Con-

Family at His Side

Waynesboro, Pa. Dec. 19.-Sittns
near his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel Martz, of Waynesboro, and be-
side Mrs. Florence Graft, now OF
Baltimore but formerly of this town,
Irwin Martz, charged with burglary
in connection with the blowing OF
a number of safes in FREDERICK last
October, heard a verdict in Fred
erick court return a verdict or quit
gainst him.
Martz, alleged yeggman, was
companion of Clarence wallace, VINO
was shot and killed few days ago
by detectives in Santa Barbara, Cal''
while resisting arrest.
The courtroom was packed with
people from every section of the
county, and as the jury filed in with
a verdict, Judge Worthington warned
against a demonstration. =.
When the foreman said Guilty,
Mrs. Graft, with whom Wallace and
Martz boarded and who testified Tor
the latter, swooned.
The trial attracted the largest
crowd since the famous PittlnSer
murder case. The parents OF the
prisoner, the latter'S two sisters ana
brother and Mrs. Graft were among
the early arrivals. The prisoner, IN
charge of Deputy Sheriff Benjamin
Shaw, took-a seat beside his parents
and the family held a whispered con-
Nersation until the case was called.
Before the jury was empaneled
Former States Attorney Samuel A;
Lewis. counsel for the prisoner, asked
that the case be removed to announcer
county, claiming that on account or
public sentiment against him, the
accused could not secure fair trial
in this county. The motion was over
ruled and Lewis then asked that the
prosecution be stopped on the ground
that the defendant furnished infor-
nation from which Wallace had been
located in Santa Barbara, and killed.
The court denied this motion, but
gave the defense the right to renew
the motion in the event Martz was
found guilty.
The conviction of MartZ and the
death of Wallace constitute the final
chapter of one of the boldest rob
berries ever committed in FTederlck'
followed by the murder of Leo NJ.
