COMMUNITY POULTRY RAISING
ENCOURAGED.

The formation of community
poultry-breeding associations is be-
ing encouraged by the Bureau of An
imal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture as a part
of its effort to assist in improving
f1ocks and making poultry raising
more attractive. Prominent among
the advantages of community inter-
est in better poultry are concen-
tration of effort on one variety, op-
portunties for collective marketing,
economy In buying and selling breed
ing stock, and increased skill in
poultry management Already IS
poultry-breeding associations have
been formed. In Virginia a Barred
Plymouth Rock Association has de-
veloped cooperative selling plan OF
a size that requires a manager. to
handle the business Organizations
of this kind are not only beneficial
to the members, but by stimulating a
larger output Of high-quality poultry
products they benefit the public as
well.

Movie News.

Two ladies attended the picture
show at the Grand the other even
ing and had a most unpleasant ex-
perience. Two old men were sitting
behing them chewing tobacco assidu-
ously. They emptied their mouths Of
the accumulated juice at such regu-
lar and frequent intervals that YER
liable stream of the filthy spit soon
was running beneath the ladies'
skirts. In a short time a pool Of
the nasty stuff had gathered about
their feet and soaked their dresses.
We can find no words to express
our detestation of such men and are
tempted to print their names so that
other ladies may give them a wide
berth when they see them at the
picture show.

"What Goes Up?"

There is an old adage that that
which goes up must come down, and
philosophical Americans are trying
to figure out the answer on their
bills with the baker, the grocer, and
the candlestick maker. With $2.2O
bushel guaranteed wheat growers
for the 1918 and 1919 crops, the
problem is filled with complications,
inasmuch as wheat, to a large ex-
tent, is a yardstick for determining
the prices of foodstuffs in general.
American farmers raised 900, 900, 900
bushels of wheat last year, and of
this there is still an exportable sur
plus of 275, 100000 to 325,0O0,O00
bushels. 1t is as certain as daylight
that Europe is not going to take our
surplus 1919 wheat crop at any
where near the price guaranteed the
farmer; and in view of this contin-
gency advocates are attempting to
discount future months by urging
the Government to pocket loss of
three quarters of billion dollars on
the 1918 wheat crop, thus permitting
wheat to seek its natural level.
Wheat as the great food commodity,
will need to be sustained against the
fall that lies before it. II, what
goes up must come down, then either
or wages must break.
When one breaks it will bring the
other down with it. Wheat is an
important element in the problem.

STANDARD BOOK COMMISSION
HOLDS MEETING.

At the first meeting of the new
State Text Book Commission. held in
Frankfort, Tuesday, Governor Stan
ley cautioned the members of the
commission not to exercise their au-
thority needlessly in the adoption OF
the 40 per cent. Of the subjects which
they may do under the law. The
cost of school books, Governor Stan
ley explained, was large, and he said
that school books would last a long
time if properly handled. He said
that the parents of children should
not be put to useless expense. The
commission will meet February II to
consider the adoptions.
The commission met at the man
sion, as Governor Stanley was too in
disposed to be at the capital The
following resolution was adopted, and
the commission adjourned:
BE it resolved, That all persons
or publishers offering books to this
commission may submit their bids
and copies of the books published
or offered, together with written
statements advocating the adoption
of such books. Such statements and
samples of books may be furnished to
the individual members of this COM
mission
Every meeting of this commits
sion shall be in open session and all
hearings shall be held in the pres
ence of the whole commission, and
no private hearings or interviews of
any character or description shall
be permitted No member of this
commission shall at any time, per-
nit any private hearings or inter
view with any agent or publisher.
1.-THE secretary Of this commits
sion is directed to furnish copies Of
these resolutions to all members and
other persons offering books to this
commission and they all shall be fur
nisfed with copies Of advertisements
for bids.
"Be it further resolved, That all
dealers shall keep on hand sufficient
supply of text books and that they
shall secure the same without delay
and at a minimum of expense incl
dent to delivery. For that reason
the commission directs that books
adopted shall be distributed from

Thin Clouds.

We have watched with keen inter
est the awakening of love in two
young hearts in Paris The girl is a
pretty lass who still wears her hair
IN . braid and the boy a sturdy lad
with his geometry and Virgil under
his arm. We have known both since
they were babies. We have watched
then on their way to school. They
are line, health youngsters, at that
merry period of life which is like
the radiant dawn of an April morn
ing.
But just at present the clouds OBJ
scure the blue sky of their youthful
dream They are mad" at each
other. Were you ever mad" at the
little lass who. wore her hair in a
braid and tossed her pretty head in
disdain when she met you on her
way to school? Then you can
feel the sinking of the heart which
makes the lad of whom we write so
miserable
It all came about in the most nat
oral way. A strange little girl came
to Paris for a visit. The boy met
her and found that she was such a
nice little girl. Not nearly so nice,
of course, as the blue-eyed little lass
with her hair in a braid. But she
was nice and he talked with her on
the Streets Of Paris. The little girl
with the braided hair met them and
then the mischief was done. This is
ALL
Not much to write about, you say?
1T is much to the sweethearts and we
are interested in them The lad is
sorry and wretched because the girl
in the case won't speak to him now.
The little stranger, the innocent
cause of all the trouble, has gone
home, and is busy with her own lit
tie heart flutters.
We hope the storm may be but an
April showeRSand that the sun of
giadness may shine for the young |
ssers again before they read this
ften. Anyway, we won't tell any
body else who they are. for in the |
presence of a little tragedy like this |
we desire to keep all the particulars |
to ourselves, with the hope that we
may see the finish, as the novelists |
say. s'Finis."'

Another War?

News items have it that already
Germany is preparing for another
war. We expected it. The only way
to rid the world of the Hun beasts
is to exterminate the entire race,
and this should have been done when
we had the chance. The editor Of
THE NEWS may not live to see it,
but he firmly believes that the Huns
will make another endeavor to con-
quer the world. The Allies had them
whipped to a standstill when the
armistice was signed, and it is a pity
that they were not allowed to finish
the job that they had begun we'll.
Gen. Foch looks for another war to
be started by the Germans, and says
they are now making preparations
for it, and he ought to know what he
is talking about.

v. VA. GAS CO. CAN'T
FIX RATES IN ND.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March Tn a
decision handed down oday by the
Maryland court of appeals, the West
Virginia Maryland Gas Company, pro-
Queer of natural gas in the State of
West Virginia. has no right to fix
rates on natural gas sold to consum-
ers in Maryland.
Some time ago the producing COM
pany sought to raise rates of consum-
ers in Cumberland and other west
Maryland towns. The Maryland Gas
Company appealed to the Maryland
public service commission.
The commission obtained an injunc-
ton against the West Virginia COM
pany. The latter carried the case to
the court of appeals. The decision
makes the injunction permanent.
The court holds that gas when 1t
leaves the larger mains in West Viz
ginia an dis distributed into smaller
mains In Maryland comes under the
Jurisdiction of the public service COM
mission, in that it breaks the original
practice.
1t is said that the decision may re-
suit n a much wider use of nOtural
gas in western. Maryland. since the
consumer will have the protection of
the sedvice commission.
