best results with domesticated
chickens, it is necessary to house
them comfortably. The experience
Oh thousands of poultry keepers all
over the world bears out this state
ment.
Requirements of Good Chicken
A chicken house is not necessarily
any structure in which chickens are
kept. A successful chicken house
must embody certain features, which
are peculiar to this class of build
ing. The most important of these
are as follows:
1. The house must be water
proof. A water-tight root and tight
sides are necessary in the chicken
house, as we'll as in the dwelling.
The birds become more liable to dis
ease in damp houses.
2. There should be no drafts in
the poultry house. A chicken, will
catch cold quicker in a drafty house
on a windy night. However, that
is no argument in favor of the tree.
5. There should be constant
supply of fresh air. This may he
three sides of the building tight, and
allowing the fourth side, which
should face toward the south, t. be
two-thirds open. This will allow
fresh air to circulate through the
house and not cause drafts.
4. The poultry house must have a
dry floor. A tight root, does Got
house should be located on well
drained land. A gentle slope run
ming to the south is an ideal loca-
ton.
3. The house should be located so
that there will be plenty of sunlight
in the building as many hours as
possible during the day. Sunlight is
the best germicide that nature pro-
vides. and it is the cheapest. Houses
that are open to the sun are less
liable to contain disease germs, and
more liable to contain healthy BIRDS
&. The house should be economi-
caIly constructed. The mild climate
of this state does not require an eX
pensive type of house. One Should
consider the cost of the house IN
relation to the number of birds it
will hold, and should never waste
money on fancy houses. Returns on
capital invested in expensive chicken
houses are usually a minus quantity.
Good poultry houses should be con-
structed at a cost not exceeding fifty
cents per bird capacity, and may
often be constructed at much lower
cost. Many farms have various odd
buildings which may be torn down
and the lumber from these NAV be
converted into good house AT
small labor cost.

Sons Of Sewanee
Organized to Get

(RY LAST M1NUTE TELNGEApHA

(BX LAST MINUTE TELEGEAPH)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March "a.
With major General Leonard Wood
as chairman of the general commit
tee and Major General William C.
Gorgas at the head of the advisory
committee the University of the
South, at Sewanee, Tenn, under the
supervision CT Bishop A. w. Knight,
the vice chancellor, is rapidly COM
pleting the organization for it's drive
for an endowment of a million dol
lars. following an enthusiastic and
largely-attended conference at Chat
tanooga.
The University of the South is
owned by the Episcopal church in
thirteen southern states. This terri
tory being SO widely extended, it has
been decided not to, work in all Of
it at the same time, but to make a
beginning in those sections which
seem ready for prompt response and
to proceed to other dioceses later.
In conformity with this idea Ten
nessee Georgia, Louisiana and Ok
lahoma were" selected to head the
list and field men were sent out to
direct the establishment Of local or
ganiZationS for an intensive canvass.
These organizations are to consist of
active laymen united in the one big
purpose, and one of the great bene-
fits to come out of the movement
will be the existence hereafter of
this body of organized men who
with the realization in mind that
they have firmly established the fu-
ture of their beloved university will
feel the power that is in them for
other worthwhile work for the
church and for mankind.
The most encouraging reports have
been sent in by the field men to
Wickes Wamboldt, director of the
campaign at his offices in the Volun
from now on the greatest activity
will prevail all down the line. Cen
orally speaking, the campaign in
each community will center around
a church supper at which the sub
ject Of Sewanee and her need Of en-
strong speaker. This will be follow
ed by the appointment of teams and
captains by the chairman of the
meeting and the dividing of a list
of prospects among them. The date
for each of these local campaigns
quarters with the view of selecting
the most propitious periods and to
prevent conflict in any way.
The enthusiasm which General
Wood has exhibited as chairman Of
the general committee and the spirit
which the alumni have always put
into action on behalf of Sewanee,
coupled with the realization by Epis-
copalians, particularly, and all clear
visioned people of the south that
Christian education as conducted at
SeWanee is the one greatest need of
this hour of threatened world chaos,
make the success of the million-dol
lar campaign already q certainty.

tional commission of inquiry which
has been investigating crimes and
atrocities alleged to have been COM
mitted by the Bulgars upon the Ser
bian population during the war
were made public here today by the
official information bureau of the
kingdom of Serbs. Croats and Sio-
VeneS.
The reports charged a reign of
terror designed to eXterminate the
Serbian people in the Macedonian
on by the Bulgarians and thousands
of civilians were tortured and mas

Official documents, the reports as
serted, prove conclusively that the
Bulgarian authorities gave orders
which were directly responsible for
the commission of the crimes. A
Bulgarian bishop defining the pol
icy of the government, was, quoted
master in the Balkans, the Bulgarian

Atrocity after atrocity is related
in the reports. 1t was alleged that
when the Bulgarians passed through
dents and members of their fami-
lies were put to death, as were old
men and women, and even nursing
babes. Rich men we're tortured to
make them give up their money and
valuables and then were killed. it
was charged.
The Bulgarians were particularly
cruel to women, it was stated, and
instances were cited where the Bull
garians outraged and killed them in
large numbers. In one town the in
habitants were driven out by rain
of machine gun bullets, it was charg-
ed, only to be met during their
flight by another group of Bulgars
Many instances were said TO have
been reported by witnesses
where the Bulgarians in moving
masses of Serbians between intern

another. butchered the helpless vic
Tins. In eXhuming bodies of the

were described as being "a vast Ser

piled on top of each other. Many
Of the slaughtered Serbs were not
