HAD BIG PART m VICTORY
World Likely to Be Amazed When t
Learns What the Aircraft Really
Accomplished.

We have become so used to stories
of wonderful feats accomplished by
aircraft during the war that every
thing we hear nowadays leaves us al.
most cold. The things that. before
the war, would have furnished bold
headlines In the newspapers and have
been a topic Of discussion for days In
the places where people cOngregate
excite no more than passing notice,
1t Is scarcely surprising, then. that the
story of how touch has been maintain
ed for more than two years between
the allied armies Of the Near East and
the gallant remnants of the Serbians
and MOntenegrins who were hidden
among their mountain Businesses. and
of how they were supplied with arms
and cartridges by airplane, has hardly
attracted attention. There has been
nothing but the barest mention of the
fact. We are not told how and from
where the machines carried out their
mission. of how many we're engaged
In the task Of supply, or Of what ef-
feet their wonderful performances
may have had on the situation by keep
ing up the spirits Of the gallant few
who have held out against the enemy
for SO many weary months. We are
simply told that the Serbian army, in
Its, victorious advance, has obtained
touch with those bands, who "since
the Austro-Bulgarian occupation have
been holding out among the noun
tains and have been continuously sup
piled with arms, food and cartridges
BY airplane." Now that the episode is
historical, concludes Flight, and the
enemy can gain no possible advantage
from knowing how it was done, 1t Is
a pity that some official commentator
with an imagination cannot tell us
the full story, which must be real
epic OF war.

u. S. ORGANIZES
SAVING SOCIETIES
ALL OVER NATION
New York Thrift Clubs Mset success
Says Times

The government of the United
States is doing something It never
did before-organizing societies. The
Treasury Department has recommend.
ed and is furthering the formation
Of Thrift Clubs and War Savings
Stamp societies in every shop, office,
store and industry in the land, not to
mention the thousands Of such clubs
already organized among the school
children Of the nation.
As an indication of the tremendous
underlying importance of this new
activity Of the government to make
America a nation Of savers and in
vestors, the New York Times in it's
issue Of January IA devotes whole
column of its financial page to story
Of the initiation of Thrift Clubs among
the employees Of New York banks and
the instant success of the idea. The
Times says:
"The Thrift Club campaign for the
sale of Stamps and Certificates in the
downtown banks has brought a re-
sponse that has surprised the cam
paign managers. Subscription to the
Stamps in many cases has meant self
denial and sacrifice and many of the
men and women workers are facing
increases in the cost of living dis.
proportionate to salary increases.
Methods Of meeting Stamp sub.
cussed at meetings Of the societies
and both men and women pledge |
themselves to do without such things
as tobacco, candy, silk stockings and
other luxuries.''
One society with a 100 per cent
membership in the office where it was
formed. bought $4,000 worth Of War
Savings Stamps and Certificates last
year.

they will subscribe to this last call of

Practical Demonstration Of Poultry Culing
Proves Wisdom Of Scientific Selection Of fLavers

The first poultry culling
demonstration conducted by
the Rio Crande Poultry and
Pet Stock Association was held
last Saturday at the feed yard
Of Mr.. Geo. Lilley. The results
were very gratifying. Mr.. Lii.
ley owns . flock Of one hund-
red and hfty hens and previous
to the cullinR was getting an
average Of eighteen eggs a day
from the entire flock. Ninety
hve were culled out as non
layers leaving fifty-five show
ing indication Of laying. On
Sunday following. the ninety
five hens did not produce an
egg and the fifty-fve layed
twenty-eight. On Monday the
ninety-hve did not lay an egg
and the hfty-hvc layed nine
teen. Mr.. Lilley will keep the
ninety-hve for a week on test.
then will fatten them and sell
them to market for killing.
The reason for disposing Of the
hen that Is not laying now IL
this: The Poultry Experiment
Stations have found out that in
nearly all cases the hen that
quits laying for the season in
August or September will not
start laying any sooner and in
many cases not as soon as the
hen that quits laying in Octo-
Der. November or December.
Consequently the hen that is
laying in November or Decem-
Der Is much the best layer and
produces the greater number
Of eggs. The benefits to Mr..
Lillcy or all poultry keepers
can readily be seen. In this
case the non-layers will sell
for about scventy-five dollars.
The feed expense is saved
which on this number would
amount to about one hundred
dollars. In Matching chicks
next season one will breed
from his best egg producers
thereby Increase the egg pro-
duction Of the flock instead of
diminish it as will be the case
II the flock is not culled. The
poultry keepers of this county
can double or triple the egg
production in two or three
years and not increase the
number of hens.
The poultry association is
The Monte Vista journal., 1919-10-18

anxious that any one interest
ed In this improvement Of poul-
try should learn how TO do this
work for themselves as it
would be impossible to reach
