warmth under the hen at any time,
while the weaklings, after few days,
may develop into strong, healthy birds.
The detention coop for the hen may
be made of waste lumber or dry goods
boxes. 1t should provide plenty of
ventilation and should be built over a
removable floor which should fit tight
ly under the sides of the coop, so as
to keep it tight and dry. This floor IA
cilitates the efficient and easy cleaning
of the coop. The practical coop which
is presented in the accompanying pic
ture has door covered with 1s-inch
wire netting which slides in back of
the Slated front when it is desired to
close the coop, while it is pushed back
of the closed part of the front when the
coop is opened. Holes in both ends of
the coop, which are also covered with
wire, supply additional ventilation. The
middle slat in the. door is readily re-
movable, sliding into square wire
staple at the top and dropping into
half joint at the bottom. The Stats are
made of strips one inch square. For
ventilation purposes, except when the
weather is cold or during cold nights,
the long narrow door at the front of
the coop is kept open. This coop is 80
inches long, 261s inches high at the
front, and Is inches at the rear. The
floor is removable and in every respect
this coop, which is little more elab-
crate. perhaps, than the hen shelters
many farmers now use, is practical for
the confinement Of the hens until the
chicks are old enough to go to distant
parts of the range under the chaper-
onage of their mother.

A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE
INTENTION of the CITY COUN-
GIL OF THE CITY OF KENNE-
WICK TO ORDER THE IMPROVE
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-25
1.-THE WHOLE PROGRAMME"

The president, it is said, will insist upon the whole programme" That is why he has re- visited the United States. It is for that purpose that he plans to swing around the circle" The entire programme concocted by him with alien aids and abbetors in foreign land must be accepted by the American people just as it now stands. The treaty of peace must be ratified, covenant and all, without amendment and with out reservation. The treaty with France must be similarly ratified, including the clauses which, houting the constitution of the United States, make it's validity and it's prospective abrogatior dependent not upon our own government but upon an alien power. The president will insist upon this whole programme, we are told
 That is to say
 We must adopt the covenant of the league of nations which is absolutely opposed to all spe cial alliances and balances of power; but also
 We must adopt treaty with France pro- viding for special alliance and a balance of power.
 We must enter league of nations for avoid ing, preventing and abolishing war; yet also
 We must enter an alliance for the sole and specific purpose of engaging in war.
 We must solemnly declare for and pledge our selves to maintain the independence and sove- reignty of all nationalities under the sun; but at the same time
 We must abrogate and renounce our own in- dependence and sovereignty.
 0ucn ls the program to Wnlcn the president has committed himself and upon the adoption of the whole of which he purposes to insist. It is programme of contradictions, stultifcaton, and confusion worse confounded.
 If he does indeed insist upon that, as whole, without exception, amendment or reservation; if he insists that the Senate shall give its con- sent, but shall not be permitted to give it's advice there may be only one course left open to Amerj- cans who cherish the independence and integrity of their country
 That will be- to make their opposition just as broad and as comprehensive as his advocacy of the preposterous scheme.
 If he insists upon the adoption of the whole programme, they may insist upon the rejection of the whole ogramme.-Harvey's Weekly.

ALL SPRUCED UP

Affdavits have been filed purporting to show that there was actual misuse of funds by the Spruce Production Division of the army air service. It tseems that this work was done under cost-plus system, wherein the "pus" pussed about everything except the production of spruce. It is charged that it cost $650 per thou sand feet for the government to produce spruce lumber, while private concerns were doing it for $130 per thousand feet.
 Some unpatriotic son-of-a-gun has criticized the management for the adoption of Splitting" process wherein three million feet of logs pro- duced 100000 feet of lumber, of which only per cent was fit for use.
 The subject of numbering, up here where lum- berjacks and everybody bought bonds and war stamps is interesting. So we called up M. J. Riordan to ascertain if he had any figures which could plus this splendid effort on the part of the spruce division. The first suggestion he had to make as to the figures was "A-ah-hh!' After that he explained that his company had never dealt in mahogany and did not use platinum saws with diamond settings, consequently he could not judge within few thousand dollars one way or the other just what it would cost to produce few feet of spruce one way or the other, but suggested that we take the matter up with Tiffany of New York, as the only people he knew of who made speciality of handling petrifed wood and other such precious material. The only fly in the ointment of the Spruce Re- duction Division was when the war run out and there was nothing more upon which to hang ad- ditional bond issues.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
 UPHELD BY GOVERNMENT

That the War Department, in the face of an advancing cost of living. consistently refused to place upon the market great surplus of food prod ucts, was testified to by c. w. Hare, director of sales, in that department.
 The known surplus was 75,OOO,OOO pounds of bacon, 580,0OO,00O pounds of ham, $50,O0O,00 worth of canned meats, and $100,000,000 worth of can ned vegetables, all of it in storage suffering steady deterioration and consequent diminuition in value.
 q tried my level best for five months," said Hare, "to pry these supplies loose. I could accomplish nothing until about the first of May, when finally were declared surplus. After the war had ended, when no sane man expected standing army of more than 50O,OO0 men, the govern ment postponed for six months its de- cision that this actually was a sur plus in the army rations. I was told that it was up to the Chief of Staff to decide on the size of the army and that it would then be necessary to estimate its requirements.
 When Congress appropriated the S100,000,000 to relieve the starving people of Europe, which sum was to be expended by Food Director Hoover, I made repeated efforts to induce him to take some part of the War Depart ment surplus; but he was not inter-

ested. With an immense surplus of bacon for which 40 cents pound was paid on hand in the army.
 Mir. Hoover bought great quantities of bacon in Italy at B cents pound, while such sales of our surplus as I had been able to make had been sold for 2S cents a pound. I took imme- diate steps to bring our surplus to MT. Hoover's attention. I thought him the natural man to buy; but could not interest him in our meat. I know of no reason why he refused, and I do know that he bought from the Italian government. Hoover's agent in this country said he wanted to secured better quality of meat. Of course, I could communicate with Mir. Hoover only through the commits sion set up in the War Department. never received any reply from Hoover whatever"
 Hare made it perfectly clear that his function was merely to formulate the sales policy, and that he had had jurisdiction over supplies only after the War Department had declared them a surplus. His testimony is con- sidered doubly important as bearing upon the charge frequently made in Congress that the refusal to declare surplus and the purchase in Eu- rope had been made in the interests of the Beef Trust.

COLONEL GREENWAY

There seems to be an insistent demand from all parts of the state that Col John c. Green way be made candidate for the United States Senate. As far as can be learned, Colonel Green way has in no way suggested the idea or been party to the propaganda-it is just one of the ideas that has grown up among the people of the state since his return from the front in France While his friends point with unqualified pride to his splendid war record, or rather two war rec ords-the Spanish-American war and the great European war; many others take equal pride in his great business ability along with the fact that he has ever been big man among big men. When he returned to Arizona from the front and had gotten the gas out of his system and his wounds healed up, he shucked his coat and com- menced to organize for the construction of a railroad to the Gulf of Mexico; he had forgotten his part in the war-never thought of politics but started to help make Arizona the best state in the Union. Arizona is in that condition of development which needs brains heap more than it needs another dose of politics. There are no men or women in Arizona, no matter what class they belong to, who, knowing Greenway, would be in the least afraid to trust him to the limit as their representative financially, politi- cally, or as friend.

A GREAT JOKE IN ENGLAND

correspondent of the Associated Press re- ports that the House of Commons in England "rocked the house with laughter when Lloyd George mentioned the league of nations. One member, apparently insensible to humor, shout ed, Nobody wants it." Lloyd George had some difficulty in controlling his face, but managed to say: q beg you to try it; I beg you to take it seriously" and again, says the correspondent, "the .house rocked with laughter" When the English find so much humor in anything there is every reason to believe that he has brought his hamper back full of bacon.

PET KITTEN PLAYS
 WITH A TARANTULA

A pet kitten in one of Kingman's homes nearly drove its mistress into mysteries and incidentally gained a little kitten wisdom this week when it playfully tackled full-grown taran- tula. The kitten brought the huge spider into the house and laid it at his lady's feet. Fortunately, the big spider had about given up the ghost and the lady suffered no injuries be- yond bad scare.
 Tabby was bitten about the mouth and on the forepaws, but beyond rub ping it's whiskers in an irritated man. ner for while seemed to suffer no i'll effects.-Kingman Miner.

Stock associations are advertising and urging

Stock associations are advertising and urging people to eat more beef. If this money was used in making the Big Five" meat owners of the world split up the cost of meat on the block, people would not have to be urged to eat beef. Lots of people who learned to eat it some years ago haven't the price to keep up the habit now adays. A piece that used to be thrown in for the cat will now cut big chunk out of $5 bill Beef on the hoof is cheaper than it has been for some time, yet the packers are charging more than they have since the war commenced Some one should tell them the war is over; it is probable that the war department has over- looked this. If the allies really want an air-tight league of nations they should turn the job over to these packers.

The Sun appreciates the compliment paid it by the Tucson Citizen in designating it as "The Best Weekly Paper in Arizona, with more news than many dailies," and we thank The Citizen for it.

The Sun has been growing rapidly with good healthy growth not forced, and we expect to keep up the good work.

KNOWING THEIR OWN VALUE

Our steemed contemporary seems highly elated because 1t was awarded the contract for city publishing. The prices were 10 cents per inch for publishing the minutes cents when two insertions were required, and cents per inch when more than two insertions. Undoubt- edly they know the value of their space and put it where it belonged. Since there was little need of publicity, the city council was right in com plying with the requirements of the law as cheaply as possible. We merely point this out that merchants will know when they pay more than these rates to this sheet they are not get. ting their moneys worth. If it is only worth these prices to set solid reading matter it should be less to set display advertisements, and the business men are entitled to this information. Dragging about the worthessness of your prod. uct IS not generally considered good business ethics, and you have to have mighty good back ing to make it stick long without going broke.
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-25

It's hard to beat old Thigh cost of living" When you reduce your living, old h. c. l. soon finds it out and adds the high cost, to bring you back to your average again, so far as expense is concerned. The big packers have nothing to do with it; all they do is to make the prices.

Another good joke" on the people is the ad- vance information that shoes are going up soon. While shoes are up now so high they should be worn on the watch fob, the price of hides and cattle is going down. While this really can not be laid to the war, it might be traced to the league of national packers, or to the Salvation Army for using up all the holes in doughnuts so the manufacturers run out of material for shoe-string holes.
