The original protest was endorsed by the majority of the people of Berlin and kensing- ton, particularly those who use the trolley service. In order to assure recognition of the towns dema d&s and a satisfactory issue of the fare protest, it is essential that aS many as possible who are supporting the petition for lower fares be present at the hearing Monday morning.

1t is possible that you may find it tenn

While many Goodyear Service Station

OF FEEDING
THE BARN YARD FOWL

Some poultrymen feed their flocks
twice a day, while others feed them
three times day. The best plan is
to feed fowls in confinement three
times a day and those having free
range in summer twice day. When
there is a very long interval between
feeds it is difficult to keep fowls busy
which are kept in confinement. Idle
fowls often contract bad habits, such
as feather pulling and egg eating, be-
sides going out of condition from lack
o feXercise.
In case it is not convenient to feed
three times a day, the moistened mash
may be fed in the morning, and at
the same time the noon feed of grain
may be scattered in the litter, which
will keep the fowls busy great part
of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morning
a good plan is to scatter grain plen-
tifully in the litter after the birds

War Director of Railroads Endorses
Campaign For Metric
Measures

San Francisco, Aug. 7.-William
G. McAdoo, wartime Secretary of the
Treasurey and Director of Railroads,
has given impetus to the campaign
of the World Trade Club of San
Francisco for the. worldwide adop-
ton of the metric units of weight
and measure, by telegraphing to the
club strong statement of support.
81 heartily applaud World Trade
Clubs activities in favor of legisla-
ton providing for exclusive legality
within the United States of Ameri-
ca of decimal metric system of
weights and measures" he wires.
"Any legislation enacted would of
course take due care of commercial
interests during reasonable period of
transition; and consequently alarm
because of the change is wholly
groundless. A very great stimulus
indeed would be effected by our &C
cepting the metric standards of in
dustry, education and science in use
throughout the world, whose pros
perity and efficient service to so great
an extent now squarely depend upon
our producers. Shall we in this
striking instance fail to adjust our
selves to the requirements of pro-
gress?"
Many similar statements of sup
port are being received daily by the
World Trade Club.
