mites and lice are prevented by fix;
ing the roosts in sockets so that they,
may be readily removed and washed
and oiled with kerosene which dis
courages the mites which cannot pass

They are learning also to keep the
chicken houses sweet and clean.
There are good many disinfectants,
but the one which is simplest and
most pleasant is to spray with formal

water, applying with an ordinary
spray gun to all parts of the ground
and litter which is turned over and

a whitewash made of lime and salt

sometimes with the Boy Scouts, but
usually rounding up all the school

The Poultry Club is one OF the most
important Of these projects. The
children are taught to handle the birds
from the egg to the ak. They are
taught to feed them properly, which
is one of the reasons why they sue
coed where the hit or miss methods
of the old-time farmer were often SO
unproducuve. As rule the children
are taught that chicken feed made by

landed at Liverpool, England, May

and arrived there the next morning

there we marched about twelve miles

The First Big Gun.
While there, I heard my first big

away. It made me feel little shaky

day and the next, until about
o'clock in the evening, when we ar

there. was in Toul two times and
bought two souvenir handkerchiefs.
We stayed there until June II,
when we left for the lines north Of
Toul and had to hike about ten
miles.
We were the reserve lines, and on
July we moved into support. On
July 4, spent my first night in the
trenches.
On July II. we moved into the
front lines and had my first expert

was also my first time in shell fire.
IL thought that was an awful place,
but I found it to be tame compared
to what went through after this.

1t is John Norman, a colored bar
Der shop porter who blew into keo-

He went to the tailor shop of Louis
Pelz wearing overalls over torn pair
of trousers he wanted repaired. He
was sent into the booth to remove
the torn trousers and came out wear
ing the overalls and departed
But under those overalls was a pair
of ten dollar good trousers belonging
to the tailor.
In the superior court under charge

sion was in this drive. but our com
lpany didn't get into it. We could
see German town being shelled
and it was some sight. l also saw
several balloons burned up. and one
plane set on fire. The plane dropped
about two miles from where we were
at Loisy, south of Pont-A-Mousson.
From this place we went to Belle

When we got out of there Thursday
