LYNDEN PEOPLE TO
KEEP A BACKYARD FLOCK

The United States Department Of
Agriculture, in a bulletin issued this
week for Lynden people, urges the
keeping of a backyard flock.
A picture of the poultryhouse sug-
gested is shown on Page Three.
Says the government department:
The attractive and serviceable
poultry house designed and construc-
ted by this suburbanite cost less than
500 when 1t was completed in 1914.
1t has a concrete floor, roosts, trap
nests, a water system. and other hen
house accessories. 1t is a pleasure
to look at this hen house, which
would be really ornamental to the
backyard of any thrifty American.
The building is IL by IS feet, and
is divided into three pens with an
aisle at one end. The house is 7k
feet high from the floor to the front
caves and feet at the back. Yellow
pine drop siding of medium quality
was used for sheathing and roofing
tHc uoih6 oNCi
with prepared. stone-surface, asphalt
roofing. Adjoining the house, with
direct access to it, are four pens, one
OF which is used for small chickens,
being inclosed with one-inch mesh
chicken wire.
The windows are an attractive fea-
ture of the house. They cost COM
plete $3.50 apiece, those at the eide
being bungalow windows of large and
odd size which the dealer was glad to
get rid of. The front windows can
be opened both at the top and bot
tom for ventilation, The side win
dows, which help to provide free cir
culation OF air. are practically wea-
! ther-proof, as they are hinged at the
bottom and swing inward. The ma
terial for the floor of this house cost
$12, the owner laying the concrete
floor during the evenings by aid of
an oil lantern.
To begin with, this poultryman
had only Is hens, while his capacity
record has been 60 mature hens and

Continuous Ice Supply a Health Measure.

The points made in the article i'll our
Health Hint column today discussing the ques-
ton of the daily ice supply in the summer time
from the standpoint Of health and sanltatlon
should be hammered down. The writer, who
speaks with the knowledge of trained medical
man, emphasizes the absolute necessity in our
climate of proper refrigeration Of perlshable
foods every day of the week, including Sun
days and the danger of ice-boxes of limited ca
pacitv running out and the foods stored in
them having to be thrown away because spoiled
or if bv chance eaten, producing sickness.
While in the winter time it may be easy to
tide over day or two without fresh supply
of ice. in the heated season most households
have to have their refrgerators replenshed
oftener than once in 4S hours, especially If they
use any of the ice for other purposes. Keeping
the refrigerator in ice on Sunday as we'll as
other DAYS in summer time. therefore, is above
all matter of health and sanitation and
situation is presented by the interruption OF
service which the health department should take
in hand as an emergency and refuse to let the
city council experiment with through fool
ordinances forbidding Sunday sale or delivery.
Especially i'll Omaha, maintaining municipal
ice plant it would not be out of order for the
head of the health department to insist on the
city ice stations being open for business during
certain hours on Sunday through the summer
months so people may have the necessary con-
tinuous supply of ice for household purposes.
Where there's will and some one to execute
it. there's way.

NO EXCUSE FOR A GENERAL STRIKE.

Ii is difficult to see how the threat made by
the committee OF the Central Labor Union wait
ing upon the mayor that they will involve
Omaha in a general strike if settlement of the
demands of the transfers are not satisfactorily
settled within specified time limit can be
countenanced, much less supported, by the
steady sober minded wage workers of this city
No such committee has authority to order
all the unions TO strike or to vote the ques-
ton of striking But if it did have the author
ity there is no condition here to warrant the
other unions making the demands of the team
sters their own.
The great body OF Omaha wage workers
have no special grievances they cannot adjust
with their employers and they have every in
terest, of themselves and their families to sub
serve by keeping business and industry regu-
larly going and maintaining uninterrupted en-
ployment The rank and file of organized labor
in Omaha has usually been evel-headed and re-
fused to be stampeded even when few of their
leaders lose their heads. We feel sure
these will show that they think and act
for themselves should any attempt be made to
carry out this uncalled-for and i'll advised gen
eral strike threat

Red Cross Genera Conference

At request of the Red Cross societies of the
United States, France. Great Britain, Italy and
Japan. an international conference of the Red
Cross organizations of the world has been
called to meet at Geneva so DAYS after the
declaration of peace The international com
mittee has formulated plans for the considera-
ton of the conference which includes world
wide coordination of Red Cross activities in
keeping with the spirit of the times. The worlds
leading experts in public health tuberculosis
hygiene and sanitation and child welfare will be
invited so that all experience and all knowledge
OF peculiar and crying needs may be consid
cred in the formulation of programs to be sub
mitted to the Red Cross society of each nation
as helpful suggestions. The maintenance OF
permanent working organization at Geneva tC
study and report conditions and experiences
within the scope OF the work of the societies, is
another suggestion.

The Red Cross society is tenderly regarded

preached or for its attempts to arouse their

practiced in meeting the great tragic crises.
It is these practices that have made the Red

When Rallroadlng w as Young

As historic addition to much present con-
rersation about railroad management, somebody
has unearthed list of instructions to conduc-
tors, tranmen, enginemen, and station masters
IN the days when American locomotives burned
wood and were going very fast indeed at twenty
miles an hour. Engineers were then forbidden
to make up lost time. If the train got behind its
schedule the order was to "let all the time Of
delay or detention be. added to the running
time" When a train was a full hour late the
stationNnaster was directed to start on horse
back to learn the cause of the delay" The head
brakeman in that day of hand brakes carried a
whistle which he blew when he wished to notify
the engineer to stop the train; and conductors
were ordered "as much they can consistently
with the duty of taking tickets. to keep look
out for dangers and difficulties upon the road,
in all directions, seeing that no objects project
Gave them removed" Christian Science Mont

Is 1t To Be a Riot of Fashion?

If coming events cast their shadows before,
this question, is it to be riot of fashion,
must be pertinent and timely. From Paris,
acknowledged fountain head of latest styles in
dress come warnings of "the audacity of fash
ion" now being perpetrated there. To quote
from a reliable authority on woman's correct
apparel, writing on the spot:
Feminine Paris is dressing in its finest
feathers. Wherever one goes, the Bots, the
theater the races the restaurants, or private
fashion is losing her head. No extravaganza
is too great for her, no indiscretion too dar-
ing. She vaunts her short skirts, her sleeve
less dresses, her decollete bodces with IA
smile that has something reckless in it. She
even bares her legs and scarcely covers her
toes in shoes that look utterly absurd with
toe-caps, ankle-straps aud heels that
three and four inches high. Dresses worn
in the daytime, at public functions. which
would have been censured by Queen Vic
toria at court. and the apparel of ballet
dancer is modest in comparison with the
chemise dresses that depend for their fasten-
ing on one button on the Shoulder or on one
hook at the waist, skirt that is slit from
ankle to hip both sides, or has a cross
over open front.
Does this not indicate that the fashion pen
dulum is beginning to swing to the opposite ex-
IRENE from where it pointed a little, while ago
when everything was sombre and sad? War
time brought out widows weeds and patriotic
sef-sacrifice led to wearing made-over gar
ments. The gay and the gaudy and the ornate
gave way to the simple, transformations gowns
and Accomplishments But the ending of war.
which has taken off restrictions upon foods and
amusements and motor cars and yachts, nat
urally opens the way to license in feminine
dress and the depleted supply of males slim
ulates keener competition to attract If fashion
is already losing her head in Paris, must it
not be only forerunner of the fast approach
ing time when these fads and foibles will cross
the ocean and begin to display their vagares
