Planning Big Campaign.

Warsaw, Dec, 80 (Sunday, by the
Associated Press. POLAND is prepar-
ing for a military campaign along her
entire Russian frontier. The Bolshe-
wiki Will be opposed on the north and
east and the Ruthenians of the
Ukraine on the southeast. The Boil
sheviki have forced the Poles to take
up arms by their advance into Polish
territory, The Poles and the Ruthen-
ians have been odds since the Ru-
thenian attempt to take Lemberg in
November.
The Bolsheyiki are advancing as
the German army of General Hoffman
retires. The Germans, according TO
reports reaching here freely permit
the Bolsheviki to advance while block
ing the efforts of the Poles to check
the Bolsheviki The Germans are
scheduled to evacuate wilma, the capi-
tai of Lithuania on January 4, but tho
Poles await permission from Mar
shall Foch before entering the city
prior to the German evacuation.
The Bolsheviki are advancing rap
idly toward wilma and are favored by
mild weather. Their advance guards
are said to be orderly, we'll clothed and
well armed. They have committed no
depredations except whore they meet
with resistance. At Peskov, where the
Rolsheviki were opposed, they carried
out several merciless massacres. The
Bolshevki, 1t is reported, also are
sending forces TO occupy the Baltic
ports of Libau and Riga as soon as
the Germans evacuate them.

ILLUMINATING
POULTRY HOUSES

During the past few years rapid ad.
vancement has been made in lighting
poultry houses in the winter months
1t has been found that by turning on
electric lights or bright light gasoline
lamps at twilight and continuing the
light until nine o'clock at night the
egg production is materially increased.
Most poultrymen who use this system
also turn on lights at six or Six-thirty
on the winter mornings.
Prof. F. c. Hare. of the division of
poultry husbandry, Clemson college,
S. c., recently returned from Cornell
university, where he lectured at the
Cornell summer course, reports that
the experiments conducted at Cornell
university last year went to prove that
the best results were obtained by turn
ing on the lights at three o'clock in
the morning and allowing the hens to
go to roOSt at the usual time. How
ever, this simply backs up the state
ment made in California, where this
system originated, that it is only nee
essary to increase the hours Of day
light to summer conditions. If you
wake up the birds very early, they
should go to bed ct dusk.

Story of Great Charter
Oak Tree Whose Hollow
Protected the Document.

In American colonial history grants
of franchise, governmental privileges,
and estates to companies for the pur-
pose of establishing colonies, to the
colonies in general Or to individual
proprietOrs, were embodied in char
ters. The Charter Oak was a large
tree that stood in Hartford, Conn.,, IN
til blown down by wind storm on
Aug. 81, 1856. Humorous statements
have been made regarding the age of
this great tree, and there is a wide
range of the estimates, which run
from 200 to nearly 1000. The tradi-
ton relating to the Charter Oak is
that when Sir Edmund Andres was APP
pointed governor general of New Eng
land, he came to Hartford in 1857 TO
receive the colonial charter. This the
col0niSts were loath to surrender, but,
appearing to submit, carried it to the
council chamber, when, during the de-
bate which followed, the lights were
suddenly extinguished by preconcert-
ed arrangement, and in the ensuing
confusion the document was carried
from the room to its subsequent hid
ing place in the hollow of the grea
tree. Here it remained for about two
years, when the deposition of the tyr
annous and hated Andres made fur
Their concealment unnecessary.

INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF HOME
Well Recognized That Ownership
Makes fer Highly Desired Stabil-
ity of Character.

| Mans greatest business in life is the
business of living. And nothing con-
| tributes so much to the success Of
! this business as does good housing
Civilization is built up on this idea.
The most progressive and civilized ma
lions have been best housed.
Today the industrial value of home
ownership is well recognized. 1t de.
velops pride, a self-respect, a sta
bility of character that makes the
home owner the man to be desired.
The man who can save and achieve
real haven to house his business Of
living has something that differenti-
ates him from those not so fortunate.
His credit is better, he is more highly
regarded by the community, and he is
the desirable citizen.
Most homes must be built on loans.
AS handled in the past. the mortgage
has been pictured home wrecker, a
dreaded something to harass mans
old age.
Today the tendency is toward amor
tZation, which is a gradual paying off
Of the principal so that in time the
home will be free and clear. Amor
tization removes the only drawback
to the ownership of home. Whereas
1t is hard to save $4,000 to pay off
In lump sum, 1t is easy to pay S33 a
month for ten years, plus $50 interest
charges, which latter decreases every
month. How many Of us have bought
things on the partial payment plan,
meeting the payments easily, and .
enjoying the luxury of pos
session?
Just so it is with home. And pro-
vided it is located right, one or two
rooms can be rented that will cut the
payments in half. That fea-
ture alone has proved the deciding
factor with many who desire to be q
real success in the business of living.
But this home should be built to

CHEAP FLY PAINT FOR COWS
Agricultural ColIese-AppIy 1t
With Brush When Cool.

It is often cheaper and easier to buy
the mixture rather than make it for
a few cows, but if you want to make
1t yourself here is the formula as
given by George A. Dean, professor of
entomology in the Kansas Agricultural
college:
For cattle use two parts of pulver-
lied resin, one part of soap shavings,
one-half part of water, one part OF
kerosene, one part oil of tar, one part
fish oil, three parts water.
In making this boil the resin, soap
and one-half part Of water until the
resin is dissolved and then add the
three parts water, Oil Of tar, kerosene
and fish OIL, and boil well for Is min
utes, being careful to keep the mixture
well stirred. Put it on with a brush
when cool. In using this mixture it
will be necessary to make an applica-
ton every day for two or three days,
and after this once every three or five
days is sufficient.

INSPIRATION.

If with light head erect sing,
Though all the MUSES. lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as It's
source.
But if with Bonded neck I grope
Listening behind me for my wit,
Win faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward
it
Making my soul accomplice there
Unto the flame my heart hath lit,
Then will the verse forever wear
Time cannot bend the line which God
has writ.
I hearing get, who had but ears,
And sight, who had but eyes before;
I moments live. who lived but years.
And truth discern, who knew but learn
ings lore.
Now chiefly is my natal hour,
And only now my prime of life;
Of manhood's strength it is the flower,
IT'S peace's end, and wars beginning
strife
IT. comes in summers broadcast noon,
BY a gray wall, or some chance place,
Unseasoring time, insulting June
And vexing day with its presuming
will not doubt the love untold
Which not my worth or want hath
brought
Which wooed me young. and woos me old
And to this evening hath me brought

PLANT FLOWERS AND TREES
Work on the Improvement of the :.
Home Grounds.

The appearance of the home has
much to do with its utility as well as
its beauty. A home where there are
flowers, trees, lawn, etc, seems more
comfortable than where these things
are absent. Such home is always
more satisfying, and that Of course is
a quality of utility.
Fall is good time to improve the
yard, lawn and general appearance Of
the home. Late fall is favorable
time to transplant many biennials and
pereEnials. Roses, ''the queen of flow
ers,' may be set; other shrubs may be
transplanted; violets, bulbs Of various
kinds, sweet peas, ETC., may be started
for early spring blossoms.
A little time given to the yard and
lawn now will be worth much to the
appearance of your home next spring.
Look over the yard and see what inn
provements can be made. Doubtless
you will find that much can be done
to make your home more attractive.

Habit of CheerfuIness
Is Not to Be Acquired
Without Some Thought.

Like other things worth having,
writes an authority, the habit OF
cheerfulness is not to be acquired
without thought. And if you do think
about the matter at all you will quick
ly begin to realize that depression
and worry have their root In the fact
that your iife-your time, that is. the
days and hOurs-arc not really in your
own control. You have no program.
Duties and demands crowd upon you
without order or sequence II you took
them one by one they would not seem
formidable. But you allow their very
number to disturb you. So many
things to attend to give you the sense
Of hurry. And hurry IS one of the
most frequent causes of worry. Prac-
q program covering the Is or 16 hours
of waking. If they are not to be gold
en- hours they are, at least, yours to
spend. Do not be rushed. Keep con-
troll of your time. Your time is your
life, and, in a very real sense, your
self. 1t will not be easy to become
the mistress of your own time, but it
is worth practicing hard to do so. 1t
is fundamental.
When once you have obtained con-
troll of your own time you will find
you have largely obtained control over
your own mind, whose possession all
sorts of worries led by the Spirit of
Fear their progenitcr, had hitherto dis
puted with you.

| The following authenticated incl
dents are cited by the United States
department of agriculture in its BET
ter SireS-Better Stock" campaign to
show what American farmers and
Stockmen may expect through i'm
proved methods of breeding and han
ding animals.
One Cow Equals Five.-A New Jer-
sey boy was influenced to buy a high
grade COW for $155. The COW on fresh
ening gave "a quarts of milk and kept
it up for long period. The father
owned five cows, the average for the
neighborhOod. They were fresh in the
spring. Their product did not equal
the product of the COW owned by the
son-five times the labor and FIVE
times the feed, In comparison with one
good cow.
HighcIass Bully Beef.-An Oklaho.
ma farmer had two registered Short
horn yearling bulls that he priced at
500 each for breeding purposes. A
butcher saw the bulls, asked the price.
but learned that they were registered
and that it would take 500 each to
buy them. He bought them, killed
them, and stated that they were the
cheapest cattle he had bought for
some time, because they cut the better
kinds of beef and more of it.
Valuable Stock-vaIuabIe Offspring.
In several counties of North Caro-
lima more purebred live stock has been
purchased during the past year at the
higher prices which have prevailed
than in any other year. Hogs were
never so high, and Vet hundreds of
boys bought purebred pigs at high
prices with tne expectation of selling
their offspring. Through the county
agents many hundreds of pigs bred by
the boys have been sold at good prices
and this is stimulating the extension
Of purebred hogs.

Countries Where Bell
Ringing Is in Vogue.

Bell ringing, in the strict accepta-
ton of the word, is exclusively con-
fined to the British Isles, the British
colonies, and the United States, the
continental methods being quite diff
ferent. Carlton or mechanical ring
ing, so largely made use Of on the
continent, especially in the Neither
lands, is little practiced in England.

enthusiasm of former rector, there

Demand for Better Homes.

The idea of good homes for wage
earners as matter of public policy
was widely advertised during the war
and gained strong support. The ablest
architects, engineers and landscapes
assisted the government in housing
plans. This has brought about an in
creasing national consciousness that
every family should be provided with
a habitation meeting at least the mini
mum requirements Of sanitation and
decency. Many soldiers who were
reared in city slums have returned
with more personal dignity and no
longer will stand for their former
homes. They are persuading their
families to remove to better neighbOr
hoods.

Flavor and Quality CT
Honey Vary With Plants
Upon Which Bee Feeds.

Honey. which is now luxury. was
in old times a necessity: for it was
then the principal Sweetencr of food.
Sugar was not introduced until the
latter days Of the Roman Empire and
was first oddly described as an Indian
salt that was as sweet as honey. The
numerous references to honey in the
Bible are due 10 IFS being the common
sWeetener used by the people.
Honey from the comb is considered
to be the most luxurious form Of this
delectable sweet, and many persons
eat the wax with the honey. That is
a foolish thing to do. however-as
foolish as it would be to eat the paper
that butter is wrapped up in, or the
bag that contains sugar. The wax in
the honeycomb is in no way nutritious.
and is decidedly indigestible.
The proper way TO eat honey in the
comb is to place piece of the comb
on ones plate, with the cells in & YER
tical position. and press ones knife
firmly upon it. so that all the honey
runs out. Eat the honey and leave the
wax
The bees do not care for blossoming
flowers, as the poets imagine. They
are practical, utilitarian creatures and
prefer the period just before fructifi-
cation. They dearly love Clover, but
most kinds of forest trees ere very
useful to them. The flavor and the
quality of honey vary with the plants
upon which the bee feeds. Heather
honey is naturally popular in Scotland.
and the famous Narbonne honey owes
its favor to rosemary. Occasionally
the bee is injudicious, however, and
chooses injurious herbs. The soldiers
of Xenophon, after eating the honey
of Trebizond, became either mad or
drunk. The effect was owing to the
bees having eaten poisonous aZalea.

Flowers as Barometers.

Many flowers are said to be excel
lent barometers. For instance, it is
when the blooms of daudelions have
seeded and are in the fluffy, feathery
condition, that the weather-prophet
faculties come to the fore. In fine
weather the ball expands to the full,
out when the rain approaches it shuts
up like an umbrella. If the weather is
inclined to be showery, it keeps shut
all the time, only opening when the
danger from the wet is passed.

Always Cure in Rest.

Sleep is the most perfect rest. Vt
course, and sleep will. 'cure" most
diseases. That is. the person who

for he is going to secure the rest that

Anybody Has to Hustle
to Hold High Position.

Not every man can be great, but
most men can be much greater than
they are. Greatness is like every
thing else-you must pay for it. Why
should fortune smile upon you with
gifts it denies to others? The whole
thing Is a matter of first principles
born with the race, but recognized
and developed by the few. It's an in
ner something that has to be tested
and constantly used to maintain the
truest efficiency. Fortunate influence
may be able to locate you in the seat
Of the mighty, but you will have to do
the hustling that keeps you there.

Name Whisky" Derived
From Celtic ''Usgebeatha'

The name whisky was probably
derived from the Celtic ''usgebeatha"
(water of life), which was subsequent
ly contracted to ''usquebaugh" and
still later to whisky. The liquor known
as usquebaugh in the seventeenth and

ever, the same character of whisky of
