The Soldier Goes to Work

HE COUNTRY is entitled TO feel gratifeu
over the announcement from the War
Department that OF the more than 1000 600
men who were called from civil life for SER
wee IN the army, less than 80. 900 of them
have failed TO find employment, and are now
back in productive pursuits. This is indeed
tribute TO the nation a whole, and it
SHOWS the elastic nature OF the American in
dustrial system as perhaps nothing else
could do.
When the armistice was signed and the
dcmooillzation Of the great army was under
taken grave fears were felt and expressed
all over the land that it would be djgicult
II not impossible for the business Of the
country to absorb the great body of men re-
leased by the army without serious dislo-
cation Hundreds OF thousands of women
had been drafted by industry TO take
the places OF the soldiers. Old men and
young boys had been drawn into the system
vacant places had been filled and it was
matter OF genuine doubt as to whether the
men who turned back by the army
could find employment
Because of the urgency of the matter va
rlous agencies were set up TO deal with the
problem. The Department OF Labor pai
particular attention TO the discharged SOL
oler through its employment service The
war Department and the Navy Department,
set up bureaus to assist their men in find
ing work. and many private institutions took
keen interest in the matter.
Inc result OF the joint labors Of all these
hodieS has been most satisfactory. Almost
as rapidly as the men were given their dis
charge papers they were given work to do
"ot all OF them were replaced In their old
positions, 1t is true, hut few OF them ma vie
neen compelled to engage in less remunera-
tive occupations than those which thew fol-
lowed before the war. The small contingent
now out OF work soon will be provided for.
vi mat there can be no doubt and when this
Is accomplished the American people will
nave a right to feel proud of their service to
inc men who served tho nation in uniform

ing, there exists tendency to put on fat whenever laying Is interrupted, only unremitting skillful management to keep hen in good laying condition will make her q first-class egg pro- ducer.
 The egg type or laying type of hen. in any breed, is the hen that with the qualities that make for good egg pro- duction, has no quality which is an obstacle to continual laying. The meat type is not the converse of the egg type, even though the hen that is not good layer is fit only for meat.
 The meat type, in all kinds of poul- try, is the type that grows rapidly and at maturity carries abundant flesh, es- peciafly where the preferred parts of the meat are produced. The most de- sirable meat type Is rather fine in bone. with the frame we'll knit but not too compact. Under any kind of good management hen of this type that Is, in normal condition will be . good lay. CT. She may not lay any better than hen not quite as we'll fleshed, but she ought to lay just us well. and when the time comes to make meat of her she makes more and better meat, and as breeder she naturally tends to re- produce offspring that win make more and better meat.
 Such hens are in reality of the dual purpose type, no matter what their size or breed. They are equally valu- able for eggs and meat. That Is the kind of stock that will contribute most to the biz increase in poultry that is wanted. It is the dual-purpose type of every breed-a type that exists in every breed, and can easily be made the prevalent type without detriment to any breed, and to the benefit of every breed-that has suffered from neglect.

 Wallace was choking. So she had known! But he had won his miserable game, as he realized from her next words: "It was a foolish idea, Captain Wal lace, and now I've given it up, and I
 know that men aren't so idealistic and chivalrous as have imagined them. But"-she bent forward--'I don't be lieve you are traitor, Captain Mark !''' And over her head Mark saw the tall figure of Kellerman in the doorway. The recognition was mutual and in- stantaneous. Kellerman's surprise was | changing into a sneering challenge when Eleanor turned, saw the new
 conner. and, with a superb effort of
 will. smiled at him.
 "So see you got here. Sister How l ard," said Kellerman, with forced 1 laugh.

 "Some of you, but not the ladies. No, I'm attending the General on his | tour of inspection of the lines" The talk grew indistinct as they 1 drifted away. Mark, staring after them in a stupor, saw Kellerman nod toward him, and fancied that the girl

CHAPTER x-continuec.

Under the name of Weston, Mark had enlisted in the medical branch of the service. It was a lowly branch, deSpised. by those who knew nothing lof its activities. But the choice had been between that and nothing, for the first fighting contingents to be sent overseas embraced only the regulars, mot those of the draft. Mark had en- listed rather than wait, especially since he knew that Colonel Howard, with Kellerman and his staff, were already an France.
 And somewhere within few square miles was the base of the American activities, the headquarters from which the mobilization in France was being directed.
 Hurry up to the surgical ward '" said the matron, as Mark reached her. ssAnd you, too, Hartley" she added.
 The two men scrambled up the stairs. At the opposite end of the building, an old converted chateau, the convoy had halted. Other order aies were carrying out the stretchers with their living, mangled burdens.
 A group of the newly arrived doc tors and nurses was coming up the stairs. They were all ready for their work. Mark no longer saw anything but the wounded men. Dripping with precipitation, he hurried from the ward So the pack store and back. innumer- able times, struggling under great piles of towels and bedding.

 They were standing in front of the outhouse, which was set near an angle of the old-fashiened building between the parlor and the kitchen. They could hear the imploring voice of the woman, and the subdued answers of Kellerman.
 Then, elusive against the dark angle of the building, Mark perceived Hart ley. He was standing under the high sill of the window, in such a way that Mark thought he could see through the chink between the sill and the lower edge of the blind. Eavesdropping as he evidently was, Mark felt that some thing justified his presence there.
 Annette perceived him at the same moment. She started, and then shrugged her shoulders.

POULTRY RAISING ON FARMS
Little Capital Is Required and Noth- ing Equals It as Profitable
 Side Line.

Poultry raising requires very little capital, but there are very few side lines if indeed there are any, that are equal to it for profitable production. Much Is said of the time it requires for raising young fowls. But do not forget that when they are managed properly the fowls pay liberally for the time required to raise them. Farming is greatly handicapped for lack of cash and when any side line can be found that requires little money but considerable labor it is at- tractiye. Such is poultry raising on the farm.

terfere with her customers. Mark hardly noticed her departure. He was watching Hartley.
 Suddenly the door opened and the woman came down the steps that led into the little vineyard behind the inn. She raised her heavy veil to dab q handkerchief at her eyes, and at that moment Mark recognized Mrs. Henson.
 He remained rooted to the ground in astonishment. But it was more than that; he felt suddenly trapped, as if the woman'S presence there was vit0ny connected with his own prob lens, as if he were the victim of some far-reaching scheme with which he could not grapple.
 A minute later Kellerman appeared and stood upon the step above her. looking into her upturned face with his habitual sheer.
 "It is all over then?" asked Mrs. Henson.
 "Sincc you compel me to be frank yes." answered Kellerman. Tt has pSSh oNCA hoA SSuio, lO that you should have put us all in this danger! You haven't told me how you got here, or how you sent me that message"

 Marks blood seemed to freeze as he listened. He had unconsciously drawn near Hartley.

And we'll talk over matters on the drive back !"
 Come. Adai" said Kellerman; and then he turned sharply and confronted Mark.
 For an instant he stood as If traus- fixed; then, with m oath. he leaped at him and struck him a blow in the face that sent him reeling backward.

DIFFERENCES SEEN IN HENS

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 Among genera!-purpose fowls all are not equal in respect to either meat or egg production. The difference is not due to size, or to the shape of birds in like condition. but lies in those things which keep one fowl in good laying condition when another goes out of condition, that enable one to lay con- tinuously through long period and still keep in good condition, while an- other loses flesh. becomes poor and thin, and incapable of further egg pro- duction-until she has had a rest-aft- CT comparatively short period of lay- ing.
