! bird up and place her in a trap nest.
After he does this several times the
pullet becomes accustomed to the az
| titcial nests and seeks them intuit-
lively when she is ready to lay eggs.
OF course. it is essential to make
the nests as attractive and coy as
possible, and this is accomplished by
providing them with plenty of clean
| litter as often as new supply OF
straw is needed Furthermore, in
particularly Objectionable cases it
pays to clean all the litter from the
floor of the house, in order to break
the hens of laying promiscuously
wherever they desire. BY removing
the straw and bedding, the floor of
the house is not so attractive as a
nesting spot for the hens and pullets,
and hence they are forced to seek the
trap nests.
The purpose of trap nesting the
flock is to ascertain which hens lay,
either for determining what record
they make or for identifying their
eggs during the Matching season, 50
that pedigree records are possible.
Trap nesting requires q considerable
amount of attention, but is valu
able aid in developing a flock of poul
try along lines of breeding for egg
production.

Gate, Rochester and Grand Mound
were brought more closely together
than ever before.
When the proposed pavement OF
the main highway is completed the
distances will be still more discount
ed. We look forward toward this
time with great expectations and
hope to see a still greater renewal of
civic activities. An awake citizenry
and good roads are the main pre-
requisites.
The program of the festival was
good and clean from beginning to
end and afforded a variety of enter
tainment to suit the taste of every
body. If we should endeavor to ap-
praise the various entertainers and
lecturers we would say that the ex-
cellent program rendered by the Par
nells on the first evening, and Cap
tain Upton's lecture on the last day
stand out as the most valuable fea-
lures of the festival. To hear either
of these was well worth the price OF
the season ticket
The entertainments were we'll at

Make 1t Thrift Christmas
United States Asks
Governors.

Proclamations calling upon the
people 10 give War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
as Christmas presents have been
asked of the governors of all the
states in the Twelfth Federal Re-
serve District and mayors of the
larger cities 10y Governor John L.
Calkins of the San Francisco Fed
eral Reserve Bank. Not only has
the Governor appealed to state eX-
ecutiyes and mayors but similar APP
peals have gone to clergymen
throughout the district. These
measures will be supplemented by a
vigorous campaign in many other
ways to bring about wide purchases
of Government securities as holiday
gifts.
Governor Calkins said:
Economists are agreed that the
present eXorbitant level of prices
that constitute not only an eco
nomic but social menace is caused
to great extent by a spending
spree being INDUCED in by the
people. Indulgence in Injuries,
which, of course, causes increases
in the necessities of life, has
raised prices generally to such un-
heard of heights that Christmas
buying this year promises a dan
gerous climax. We, therefore, ap-
peal to you to call upon the people
of your state to forego the Civ
ing of the usual Christmas gifts
this year and instead give Sc
curities Of the United States
Government, such as Thrift and
War Savings Stamps, Treasury
Savings Certificates and Liberty
Bonds. There could be no more
timely effort at sterilization of
prices and production than such
action upon your part and the part
of the people, majority of whom,
| am sure, would answer your
call"
