FEEDING SPECIAL FLOcKs.

The production Of pure-bred poul-
try eggs for Matching and baby
chicks is becoming an important in
dustry in South Carolina. In 1917
the South Carolina Poultry Breeders
Association was organized and since
that time State poultry show, re-
cognized as the official state show by
the American Poultry Association,
has been held each year.
These breeders of pure-bred poul-
try produce stock of the highest quail
ity which they intelligently house,
feed and care for, They exhibit their
best birds at county fairs and sell at
good prices their eggs for Matching,
babq chicks and surplus breeding
and show stock and generally find
the poultry business profitable.

HIRAM JOHNSON
SEEKS SUPPORT

Washington, Sept. 25.-While the
German peace treaty received only
brief consideration in the senate TO-
day, outside developments indicated
that the factions were lining up for
the real fight over the league of ma
tiens covenant.
The outstanding feature of the day
was the announcement by Senator
Johnson, Republican, California, that
he would leave here tomorrow for
the Pacific coast to keep up his at
tack on the treaty, which was accept
ed to mean finally that his proposed
amendment to equalize the voting
power of the United States and
Great Britain would not be called up
for weeks hence.
Next In public interest was the
news that Senator Ashurst, Demo-
crat, Arizona, had telegraphed Presi-
dent Wilson that he would vote for
ratification of the treaty, believing he
could render the country and the
world, he said, a great service by ac-
cepting it as it is, without amend
ment or reservation. This definite
statement from Senator Ashurst was
considered particularly assuring by
Democratic leaders because of per-
sistent reports that he would oppose
the pact in its present form.
Just before adjournment Senator
Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin,
made his position clear by reiterat-
ing that he would not vote to ratify
the treaty if under Article 10 the
United States was obligated to send
it's troops abroad to preserve the ter
ritorial integrity of members of the
league.
Senator New, Republican, Indiana,
and Senator Smith, Democrat, Mary
land, divided the debate of the day,
the former attacking the treaty and
the latter defending it and urging
speedy ratification. But there was no
applause, the galleries evidently TAX

Under unanimous consent agree

posing that the United States be re-

missions created under the treaty,

general talk was that Republican

that they did not have enough votes
to pass it, and that the senator re-
piled he would 60 out in the country
and create such strong sentiment in
its favor that the senate would not

PREPARATION AT'SIDNEY

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 14.-Ad-
miral Viscount Jsllicoe preached a pol
icy of preparation for war in some OF

while visiting Australia to inform the
Australian government concerning mat
ters of naval policy.
when discussions take place on such

the question of limitation of ornaments
trust II viii never be forgotten that
the existence of the British empire
depends absolutely upon the safety OF
its sea communications said Viscount
J~ellicoe at Sydney, where he addressed
The Navy league. Before the war, he
said. Great Britain suffered from a lack
of sufficient ships to guard the long
lines of communication between Lon
don and Australia and, Ne added, 1T
Is up to the British empire to see that
We are never in want of sufficient po-
licemen afloat in the future"
Speaking of the deadly risks run in
the last five years" the admiral said,
'one can only hope that In the future
sufficient provisions will be made both
by the mother country and by the over
sea dominions to insure the impossi-
bility Of defeat of the British navy"
After giving some information to
show how long 1t took Great Britain
to prepare for Germany's submarine
campaign, Viscount Jellicoe said: THE
lesson l am trying to preach is pDBp-
aration for war. | would like to say
| very seriously that 1t seems to me the
conclusion Is forced upon us that the
British empire depends now more than
ever upon naval supremacy"
Leaving Sydney early In July, the ad-
miral started on a months tour to
