STACKER HENS
UNDER FIRE
CLARK County Farmers are Interested
In When and Where to Execute
Them, or Keep Them
Awhile.

4What do / do? Well, answer
multitude of questions for one thing"
said w. A. Hook, county agricultural
agent for Clark county. who was In
Keokuk to buy a typewriter to expe-
dite his work. What kind of ques-
tons? All sorts connected with
farming, but usually practical ques-
tons OF detail The last one |
answered was: Shall / Gull my hens
now?"
It turned out that several people
had asked that same question, and
Mr.. Hooks answer was as follows:
.Inasmuch as you have kept your
hens till now, and in view of the fact
that every Stacker hen lays some
eggs and these usually In the early
spring, I would keep these hens for
awhile and give them fair chance
TO nav back some OF the cost of keep
ing them through the winter. But as
soon as they quit laying. Investigate,
and IL she acts like Stacker hen,
DISPOSE of her. Keep on the look
out for the individual that does not
return value received for her board
and keep, and when you find one get
rid of 1t pronto.'

EIGHTY-EIGHTH

Orders on the Removal OF American
Troops from the War Zone
DO Not Mention That
Division.

Wien many newspapers carrying
a press association report stated
yesterday morning that the SSth div1.
sion was in the list of troops slated
to return to America in May, some
Keokuk people who read the st.
Louis morning papers thought that
they would see their soldier boys this
spring.
But tie war department confirms
the dispatch from Paris to the United
Press published in The Gate CITY,
that the list of divisions named Tor
return in March, April, May and
june. does not include the SSth divi-
sion.
This leaves it in Europe with no
official ;allr about when it will return
and not among the troops to return
before July /.

the unlawful methods of advocat-

1t is almost startling that this

Yocacy of crime, sabotage. violence
or other unlawful methods of ter
rorism, by representatives or EN-
ployers of commercial or industrial
interests for the purpose of break
ing up peaceful meetings, or for
the purpose of obstructing reform
movements or intimidating reform
organizations is not made crime
under this statute. Under this stat
ute it is made a crime to advocate
violence for the purpose of accom-
plishing reform" but it is not made
crime TO use exactly the same
methods for the purpose of prevent

URGES HEALTH INSURANCE LAW AS
FOREMOST RECONSTRUCTION NEED
Maternity Insurance is Also Demanded by Governor Smith
to "Conserve Human Life

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-Gover-
nor Alfred E. Smith, of New York,
in his first message to the Legis-
lature urged the enactment of a
health insurance law, including ma
ternity benefits, as foremost meas
ure of permanent Labor reconstruc-
ton.
Nothing is so devastating in the
life of the workers family as sick
ness" Governor Smith declared.
THE incapacity of the wage-earner
because of illness Is one of the I'M
DERIVING causes of poverty. Now the
worker and his family bear this
burden alone. The enactment of a
health insurance law, which l
strongly urge, will remedy this I'M
fair condition. Moreover, it will re-
suit in greater precautions being
taken to prevent illness and disease,
and to eliminate the consequent
waste to the state therefrom. 1t
will lead to the adoption of wider
measures of public health and hy-
giene and it will operate to con-
serve human life. The large percent
age of physical disability disclosed
by the draft shows how deeply con-
cerned the state is in this matter.
Proper provisions also should be
made for maternity insurance in the
interest of posterity and of the race.
"Other countries are far ahead of
us in this respect" the Governor
said, land their experience has de-
monstrated the practical value and
economic soundness of these princi-
pies"
The health insurance bill now be-
ing pressed for early passage by the
New York Legislature has been
adopted by the State Federation of
Labor at a statewide conference

two years study by the federation s
committee on health and two state
