POULTRY HOUSE
NEEDS SUNLIGHT

In building the poultry house ar
rangements should be made TO allow
plenty of sunshine to enter. In the
shed-roof type Of house 1t pays to
allow the sunshine 10 strike beneath
the dropping boards. A house Is feet
deep can be constructed four and q
half feet In back and eight and one
half feet In front and other depths
can be made In the same proportions
The front should then have four-foot
curtains along the front and this will
allow an abundance of sunshine to
strike oil portions Of the house. Also
have the windows about two feet down
from the top of the house.
One of the causes of disease In the
poultry house is damp litter. 1t is
expensive to change the litter often!
and for this reason rs much sunshine
as possible should be allowed to enter
to keep the scratching material from
becoming damp and musty. Sunshine
is the cheapest disinfectant that the
poultryman can use and whenever
possible II should be used to the full
est extent.

Familiar Phrases Which

a "close shave" we speak of a man
as "half seas over" We take time by

Sun the Universal Clock,

From the beginning the sun was the
universal clock, and the universal clock
was always wrong-that Is to say,
twelve O'Clock to-day was not exactly
the same as twelve o'clock yesterday.
But the sun had to serve as a clock to
most people until little more than a
hundred and fifty years ago. when pub
lie clocks took the place Of sun dials
and watches began to be comparative
Iy common. Doubtless one of the
earliest forms of getting somewhere

MEXICO DENIES
JAPANESE STORY
CLAIM THAT JAPS CONTROL OIL
LANDS EMPHATICALLY DE-
MED BY OFFICERS

MEXICO CITY.-The Department
of Industry and Commerce denies en-
phatically that Japanese interests
have acquired any petroleum holdings
IN Mexico, but says parties Of Japan
ese geologists have visited the repub-
lie recently on tour of exploration
and have located oil deposits on the
Pacific coast.
The departmental denial came as a
result of stories emanating from the
United States that Japanese capital
lists were negotiating for the transfer
of large petroleum holdings in the
Tampico district.
Ell Monitor recently interviewed a
Japanese, R. E. Douari, who was sent
to be a member of the oriental ex-
ploration party. He asserted that the
Pacific coast had been thoroughly
covered in the search for oil and that
large deposits Of the latter had been
found. He also asserted that Japan
needs oil for commercial purposes and
will attempt to acquire that product
but it has no intention of buying
leases, developed or undeveloped, on
he Atlantic coast.

pondence of The Associated Press)-
A few bicycling tourists occasionally
stop and peer through the gates of
the Bentinck estate in hope of catch
ing glimpse of the former German
emperor, but were it not for them
and for the presence of the state po-
lice guards who languidly pace up and
down the road about the castle walls,
Amerongen would seem to have com
pletely forgotten that William Hohen-
zollern was in voluntary exile there.
The doings of the former ruler and
his small "court" inside the castle
have ceased even. to be topic of viii
lage gossip.
Once a week, perhaps, some one
may mention him, wondering how
long he will be in Holland, and then
ensues a series of weightily expressed,
judicial opinions, the gist of which is
that Amerogen doesn't believe the
Allies will ever attempt to bring him
to trial at all, and that William Ho-
henzollern will settle down and be-
come a Dutch country gentleman. 1t
is seldom that real information re-
garding his doings trickles out from
the walls and moats of the estate.

EASY AND SAFE

LONDON.-(Corres pondence of the
Associated Press.) .)-Increase in big
amous marriages throughout the Uni
ted Kingdam, much more pronounced
since the end of the war, is causing
grave concern, and there is a grow
ing disposition to treat bigamy as a
venial offense.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, is credited with the statement
that English marriage laws afford
less security against bigamy than the
laws of almost any other civilized
state. His department has prepared
proposals for their amendment, but
nothing has been done to carry them
into effect. A new act of parliament
is necessary, and Sir Bernard suggests
as a preliminary that some plan be
outlined by which accurate informa-
ton concerning the principals in
proposed marriage may be obtained by
the competent authorities before the
ceremony can be performed.
For marriage by license in England
it is required that both parties make
solemn declaration that they know of
no impediment to their union, that
they have resided for Is days in the
district and, if they are minors, the
consent of guardian or parents has
been obtained. But no solemn declar-
alton is required for such material

BULGER'S TRAINED ANIMAL CIR.
Gus ONE OF THE BEST FEA-
TURES EVER SEEN HERE

A feature, or series of features that
are alone worth the price of admis-
sion to the fair grounds, is the ami
NAL circus that was the "big hit" at
the Spokane Interstate fair. Mr..
Bulger, the genial proprietor, is real
circus man. He knows how to please
the audience and he always succeeds.
He has had many years Of experience
as an entertainer and knows what the
people like. He is one of the world S
noted cartoonists and has produced
some record cartoons. For four years
he was with the Chautauqua cirdl1it
as "cha1k talker" and his cartoon
work always made hit.
Mr.. Bulger has a real circus. He
has a trick mule that is dandy; a
riding goat, that does smany stunts
that please young and old alike; and
monkey that makes it very easy to ac-
cept the Darwinian theory that man
is descendant Of the monkey fam
ily It is all but human. He has
many other features in his animal
circus.
But Mr.. Bulgeri also shines as a
cartoonist. He is really clever and
his work is actually wonderful This
feature. alone, ought to draw crowd,

flor it is interesting, entertaining and
instructive.
Mr.. Bulger has travelled all over the
world He started out with MS pres
ent show at Seattle last spring and
has been to San Francisco and back,
showing at every town between Seat
tile and San Francisco and between
Seattle and Moscow. He has Ford
truck on which he hauls his circus
but it is growing so he says he will
have to give up the old Ford, that has
given him such excellent service, and
expects to buy 27s ton Republic

show and in year or so have sew

''This is positively the first motor
truck circus on the road and is the
forerunner of the coming circus which
will travel by motor trucks instead OF
by railroad trains. Just as soon as

STUDENTS TO MOSCOW
LEWIS. ON CONSTITUTION

| ! At the first assembly of the Uni
versity faculty and students this year
at IL o'clock this morning the audi
| torium was almost filled, and the
audience was largely made up of
students. The student songs were
led by Prof. E. O. Bangs and President
Lindley introduced some of the new
members Of the faculty, including
Sergeant Mcpherson of the Y. M. c.
A., o. P. Cockerill, dean of the law
the military department, who gave
short addresses. Werner Clements,
president of the student body, gave a
few remarks President E. H. Lindley
gave very cordial address of well
come to. the faculty, the former
students and the freshmen. He said
the University is an open door to a
world of new ideas and new endeavors
and the student who enters views a
world as large as his interest covers.
In all walks of life your world is as
large as your interest.
Those who are successful in life,
are as q rule, the ones who were sue
cessful in college. President Lindley
stated that the first 40 days of col
lege usually determined the success
of the student in doing creditable col
lege work. He advised the students
to learn to play as well as work, and
to make friends with the members of
the faculty, who are always ready to
help the student.
President Lindley in Shis usual
gracious manner made the new stud
ents feel at home and gave the old
students cordial welcome back.
Prof. H. t. Lewis gave a masterly
but brief address on the Constitution
of the United States He said we hear
much of reconstruction today and all
wreckage is not in France. We have
our own reconstruction to do to pick
up the threads Of the old life and we
need some sort of standard as basis.
The Constitution has come to be a |
thing taken for granted. Few have
read it, few understand its deceiving-
" simple language, yet all assume
is existence and power.
1t may have its defects but it is
entitled to be ranked as one of the
worlds greatest political documents.
rhe trainers had before them the task

of devising a machinery of right and
justice that should meet the practical
problems that confront government
anywhere, anytime. Like the league
of nations, if one condemn, the obvious
reply is the. tangible specific prob
lem-what better machinery can you
suggest? Despite pessimistic fore
bodings, that document has served as
the foundation stone of the greatest
republic the world has ever seen, a
republic that has fed the world and
helped win the war of democracy.
When this great nation can pause
in all it's unrest and dissatisfaction
to pay respect and honor to this
Constitution with it's noble principles
of right, then l know America will
stand-it cannot fail.
Following this splendid address
Prof. Dickinson, the new instructor
in violin gave a delightful violin solo,
responding to an encore.
The assembly was ended by several
vigorous college yells led by Yell
Master Davis.
