RoUsEs HENS FROM INAcTloN
Theory to Benefit of Use Of Arti-
fetal illumination Would Seem
to Be Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production, is the
question being asked by some skep-
teal pou1trymen who have never made
any tests
The answer is, according to the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New York state college of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period of inactivity of the fowls dur
ing the long nights.
The long nights of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use larger proportion OF
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditions in the springtime, when the
days and the nights are OF practically
equal length.
At the time of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months of April, May and June
the days and the nights are approx
mately OF equal length. Under these
conditions, fowls appear to assimilate
their feed, secure the proper amount
of exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part OF December there
are about fifteen hours of darkness and
nine hours of daylight, whereas in the
latter part Of June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
or daylight and nine hours of darkness.
In other words, Illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions so
far as the hours Of activity and the
regulation of feed supply are con-
cerned.

Returned soldiers and sailors in a

That this willingness not only to be-

Use of Metals in the war

German expert has been corupi1-
ing some statistics of the use of metals
In the war He says that if the iron
ana steel used by Germany alone in
40 months of war were forged into a
ring which went round the eouator
each meter would weigh 80 hundred
weight If the mass of metal were
made into wall along the battle
fronts-or $500 miIes@a ward biob

weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany
sent TO the front every week more
guns than were used in the whole of
the Fraaco-Prussian war Twentv-fo,,r
hours consumed more than did the
whole OF the earlier war; The moral
ne draws is that such things were only
possible because Germany had been
wise enough before the war to con-

ROOSEVELT'S DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN

Col Roosevelt died about O'Clock
on the morning of January g. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally IN the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him. written
especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:
I've have room for but one flag. the
American flag. and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolfzes all wars
against liberty and civilization Just as
much as 1T excludes any foreign flag
or nation to which we are hostile
and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people"

CROW is ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con-
tinued- Existence.

The record OF the crow is like its
coat-about as black as black can be-
a writer in Detroit Free Press says
1t may be that in the great plan of
nature, some time in the past, the
crow served a useful purpose-1ke-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buzzard, for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carrfon,
the stencil of which offended the nos
trf1s of all animal life, it is now OUT
Iawed, because man realizes that it is
better to burn or bury the dead-leav-
Ing no excuse for the existence of the
disease-carrying buzzard. So, in the
beginning, the mission of the crow we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance in the econ
Omy of nature. It may be he was
placed here to hold in check the weed
seed and grain eating birds, because
weeds were a factor in the past in
covering the waste places of the earth
and making them fertile. However
that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since
man, the agrfcu1turist, seeds the
waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help of the in

Someone has said that CHARITY is
the highest tree in heaven 1t is
saying that we can well believe,
for not only does charity cover null
ttude of sins but it also covers its
devoteeS with its solace and comfort
1t is to be feared, however, that
there is a misconception as to the full
meaning covered by the word char
fty. Many people seem to understand
that charity consists solely in the Civ
ing Of aims And the fact is that aims
giving is merely one form of charity.
There is charity that we prac-
tice toward those of fellow men
who stand in need of aims. There
are, indeed, many who are well pro-
vided with the goods of this world
who stand in great need of charity.
The charity of our thoughts is what
we stand in need of.-LoS An

People Are foreetful''

It is continuous effort that
pays in advertising as in
everything else. A business
man doesn't keep his store
open one day in the week, or
one week in the month, or
three months in the year. If
he advertises in such a way
that is the impression people
will get 1t is continuous
ness that has made each let
ter in the word Royal" be-
fore the words Baking
Powder" worth over $1,000
OOO- The owner of Royal
Baking Powder years ago
refused $12,OOO,OOO for his
business business built
up and fostered by persist
ent advertising.
People are forgetfu1. They
have to think pretty hard to
remember the vice-presiden-
tial candidate two cam
paigns back, and yet he was
pretty well advertised at the
time.
1t has been truly said that
the time to advertise is all
the time. In business there
is no such thing as standing
still. A business man must
go forward or he will fall
back. Even if you do just
as much business this year
as you did last, some other
fellow is doing more bust
ness and he is getting ahead
of YOU.
Each years effort should be
to exceed last years sales
The only way to do it is to
advertise. Advertise in the
busy times because the iron
must be struck while it is
hot, and advertise in dull
times to heat the iron.
1t can be done.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am TWEEN
ty-three years old and have a soldier
friend in France who has caused me
a lot of heartaches.
We went together long before he
entered the service and were to be
married. Finally the engagement was
broken before he left for overseas
duty.
have only heard from him once
since he arrived over there and his
folks hear regularly.
Since he has gone I have heard
things that lead me to believe he
wasn't the fellow he was before he ne
tered the service. In his last and
only letter he spoke of being sorry
and wanted to make up.
After such a disappointment l re-
NAMED at home over a year without
keeping company. Just few months
ago l met a fellow who took my eye
and have been keeping company
with this fellow. He has been gen.
tleman in every respect. He seems to
pay great attention to me.
Please advise me what to do. Do
you think / would ever be satisfied
with the soldier, for he has treated
me terribly without any reasons?
Also l would like to have you send
a few suggestions on what to get a
boy friend for his birthday.
BETTY.
l do not believe you and the sol
der can ever be happy enough to-
gether to become engaged again. Love
is never satisfactory when one per-
son is unkind. Keep your new friend
and let the soldier learn that he went
too far in the way he treated you.
1t is not at all necessary to give
birthday present to boy friend and
in most cases it is better not to. l
would suggest nothing more than a
few linen handkerchiefs or book.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: AS my
mother does not live in this state,
am coming to you for advice.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

I was married at the age Of eigh-
teen. I have two children. When l
married my husband, his people were
we'll thought of, but since we were
married his sisters have grown UP
and have not the best Of regulations.
They care nothing for youth or gray
hair just so they have their good time.
No matter where l go, someone is
always talking about how they act,
and if | am where they are l am
ashamed Of their vulgar talk and uni
ladylike ways.
One of them is married and her
husband is in France. Really, her
actions are terrible. My mother-in-
law always finds fault if l get new
hat or dress. She says the old one
was plenty good enough for married
woman. But her married daughter
thinks nothing of paying s12 for pair
of shoes, and their husbands Work by
the day.
MY husband thinks l ought not to
notice what they say, but l had the
very best mother and was raised so
very differently that sometimes l
think l can stand it no longer.
want to go where / never see or hear
anything about them again.
Please do not think / do not love
nv husband and the kiddies. / think
there is no one like their daddy.
DISCONTINUED.
You must get over the idea that
the actions of your sisters-in-law re-
fleet on you. You are responsible for
your own character, and the charac-
tiers Of your children, and If you bring
out the best, people will admire you
heartily.
You lack independence OF spirit
Do not consult your husbands family
about the clothes you buy and the
money you spend. When they make
remarks pay no attention, because it
is not their business.
You have probably the greatest
thing life can offer-a love marriage.
Be thankful and do not look for
trouble.
