Custom is mighty force For instance, is there the
slightest reason to believe that the Thanksgiving procla-
nation which was issued by President Wilson yesterday
would have been forthcoming this if this were not
an annual custom in America? And yet as the proca-
nation declares we have much to make US grateful
AS compared with the rest of the world ours is won
derfuly fortunate people. But we sometimes forget
this. Much of the unrest during the past six or eight
months has been due to propensity to overlook our
blessings and magnify our shortcomings This year,
taking the cue from the text of the Presidents formal
appointment of the day of thanks, organized effort
ought to be made to drive that thought home

Newspapers at the Mexican capital reported to be
printing stories to the effect that the government will
refuse to refund the $15OOOO paid by friends
of William o. jenkins, American consular agent at
Puebla who was captured by bandits 1t may be that
for political or other reasons the Carranza government
is seeking to create the impression that will not pay
this money but that ought not to be permitted to worry
the men who put up the money paid for jenkins release
1t has been shown rather conclusivey that CarranzS
soldiers were implicated in the jenkins affair, and If
the government does not pay there will be ground for
representations of character that even Carranza will
not fail to understand.

BACK ON MOVIES
Mountaineer Who Won Fame
in France Won't Be "Pro-

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 23.-The blue
eyes of Sergt. Alvin c. York turned
quietly on the questioner. He had
been asked why he the renowned
hero of the world war, had stubborn
'ly refused to appear in the movies
and write the customary war book
and allow himself TO be advertised
blatantly from coat to coast and
lionized by society.
Friend" York said, 81 couldn't.
Why, it's jest a-sellin' my honors for
a pot of gold"
He came to Chicago with his bride,
who was Oracle Williams, the nine-
teen-year-o1d- Tennessee mountain
girl. Tuesday night he will speak at
Orchestra Hall in behalf of the Alvin
&c. York Foundation. He wants to
raise 100000 to found a school for
the mountain children in the Ten
nessee backwoods. For himself-not

and his girl wife had been this far

War Department Announces
Identity of Corpses Brought
From Siberia Lost.

Bodies of some American soldiers
who lost their lives in northern Rus

been brought back to this country
with their identity either lost or in
confusion, 1t was announced by the
War Department tonight.
The bodies Of the American fighters
reached New York only recently from
Russia on the Lake Daraga.
Errors in Identification OF the
bodies were made in Archangl when
they were disinterred and placed in
caskets, according to the War Depart
ment. A thorough investigation of
the mistakes is being made by the
department.
British Caused Haste.
In explaining the haste with which
the bodies were exhumed and the
Lake Daraga dispatched from Arch
angel, the War Department said quick
departure of the vessel was insisted
upon by the British authorities. This
resulted in the mixing of identities
Insistence upon speed is understood
to have been because of war emer-
gencies in Archangel.
mo doubt, whatever errors in iden-
tification have occurred are due to
war conditions and conditions of the
emergency WHICH existed IN ftussld,
the departments announcement said.
Method of Marking.
after the remains were removed
from the Lake Daraga in New York
the caskets were removed from the
outside boxes in which they were re-
ceived and were placed in new boxes.
Identification marks on caskets were
copied on cards, which were then
placed on new outer boxes, only one
box at a time being opened and cas-
ket put in new box, which was
closed before another box was opened.
"Verification Of marks on caskets
and boxes was made and certified to
by a commissioned officer. Metal
&C Cntainers were not opened. Names
on caskets were checked against a
list which came on the Lake Daraga,
and each box was carefully checked
on to the train before shipment to its
destination.
Every possible precaution was
taken to insure against error. with
out actually opening the heremetical-
ly-sealed containers, which IS con-
trary to law. All work in connection
with the handling Of the remaias at
this point was under direct super

Fall Care of Laying Hens

Fall cleaning of the poultry house
should be done early to get the hens
and outlets in winter quarters before
bad weather sets in. If the hens and
pullets are allowed to roost in trees
and on the fence until cold, wet
weather comes they are very likely
to contract colds which may develop
into roup. Roup, which is one of the
poultry raiser's greatest dangers is
germ disease, but it is much more
liable to develop in flock that have
colds than in a flock that is kept in
good health. Colds may be caused
by exposure, excitement, drafts or
poor ventilation. Even though the
hens may not contract cold from roost-
ing in the open, the excitement, caused
by catching and handling them in
cold damp weather, causes them to
ges warm and then chilled, which is
very likely to develop into colds. For
this reason all pullets and hens should
be handled early and put in the house
where they will not be disturbed dur

ing the fall months.

ing the fall months.
The house should be thoroughly
cleaned, all repair work done that is
necessary and the house sprayed with
a good disinfectant. The spray should
be thrown into every crack and crew
ice so as to get every mite and every
disease germ. 1t is advisable to treat
every bird for lice, either by using
a piece cf Blue Ointment the size of
a pea ny rubbing it on the skin just
below the vent or by busting the hen
with a small amount of Sodium Flour
ide under the wings and in the fluff.
It is an easy task to Gull the flock
as they are put into winter quarters.
Often too many hens are kept for the
size of the house and they are only
half fed. Usually the best so per cent
of flock will make more profit than
would the whole flock out of the same
amount OF feed. Hens that are not
vigorous and healthy; old hens that
have served their day of usefulness;
and small late-maturing pullets are
not profitable to keep for egg pro-
ducticn.
