GERMAN CHIEF
HITS BISMARCK
"IRON" POLICY
Scheidenann Says Ma
ton Suffers for
His Mistakes.

Copenhagen, Thursday, Feb. 1S.-
Philip Scheidemann. a member of
the provisional cabinet of Ger
many. attacks Prince Bismarck 5
conception of foreign affairs in an
interview with the Zeitung am Nit
tag of Berlin. He says that Bis
marck's policy fos a failure almost
everywhere, adding, We had to
pay for its mistakes. in North
Schleswig and in Alsace and Lor-
raine."
The policy of New Germany"
he continued, must be based not
as Bismarck planned on opposi-
tion, but in harmony with Austria !:
not on the slender pillar of egotis-
tlcal might of a single federal gov
ernment. but on the broad demo-
cratic basis of the united will of
all of the German tribes.
THE league of nations has warm
est supporters in Germany. We
hope America will succeed in con-
vincing other countries that it is to
be the desire OF the world, that in
stead of heap Of ruins in the cen
ter of Europe, there should be
newly constructed social democ-
racy. Not in Russia, but in Ger
many, will the Socialist solution of
the labor question be found. The
heavier the conditions imposed
upon Germany. the quicker will
Bolshevfsm spread. World destruc-
ton is preferable to slow death by
torture.
The entente may conclude a.
peace corresponding to its inter
ests, but for US there are limits be-
yond which il is impossible to &C.
The moment might, therefore, arise
when we must leave the conference
table, not to take up arms against,
but to place the responsibility for
the terrible results. Of such a peace
on the shoulders of those who
think they can answer to history
for it."
The interview concludes with an
expression OF deep regret that Ger
many's position is almost nowhere
abroad. 1t is admit
ted that all Germans. even those
who formerly doubted American
Observation-Disclosures. now see that
seriously intends to fight
for the policy of reconciliation of
the peoples.

IMMIGRATION LAW

ATLANTIC. CITY, y. J.. lUns 20.
The American Federation OF La
Dor convention went on record to-
day as favoring restriction OF i'm
migration from Europe for a period
Of three years.
The action followed a long and
acrimonious debate. IN which
various factions attempted 10 OBJ
tain concessions in their favor. Irish
delegates sought exception of Ire
land. while Seattle radicals inter
posed in-favor OF Russia. Sec'y Nor
risOn, however. swept the convention
into concurrence with the exclusion
resolution by an appeal for jobless
soldiers and a declaration that capi-
tai IS seeking TO import contract
labor.
Thomas Sweeney Of New York.
said that immigration does not
cause low wages. but rather the con-
c%tntration OF wealth among a few.
He said that Texas alone could hold
and feed the world.
The convention approved the
opening OF public lands under the
most liberal conditions 10 war
veterans. and approved extension Of
soldier insurance 20 civilians.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use is Mulsihed

pure and entirely g~reaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all 70
pieces. You can get this at any drug

WOULD PROTECT

Tariff Alone Not Enough to
Bar Germans and Chinese,
Says Choate.

large surplus output manufactured
during the war. Joseph ". Choate.
jr.. counsel for the chemical founda-
tion. Incorporated. told the house
ways and means committee Thurs
day IN urging a licensing system for
the protection OF the American Dye
industry.
Something has 20 be done 20 save
the dye industry and tariff alone
won't do il. he declared.
Mr.. ChOate said that ~anti-dump-
ing laws would not suffice because
10 is so easy for the Germans 70 con-
ceal their dye shipments 20 that il
would be practically impossible to
detect all OF them.
Reads German Report.
Mr.. Choate read 70 the committee
a report on the outlook for the Ger
man dye interests In America writ
ten six weeks before the United
States declared war on Germany BY
Dr. Hugo Schweitzer. active head OF
the American branch Of a great Ger
man house.
"He was a direct secret service
employe bearing the number esq.,
1851. given him by the imperial
war minister" said Mr.. Choate. He
came here. became a citizen under
orders from his government. and led
the espionage and propagandist
movements trI his death in Novem-
Der. 1917"
In the report, which was forward
ed 10 Count Won Bernstorff, DR..
Schweitzer declared that the German
dye industry would have no difficulty
in holding the American market in
the face OF 80 per cent ad valorem
duty but that the specific duties i'm
posed under the law would be more
troublesome. He added the Germans
must sell more than 40 per cent OF
the derivatives and dyes in the
American market so the president
co9ld abolish the specific duties as
the law provided would be done il
60 per cent Of the home consumption
was not produced in America.

Turning to the tax levied for state
purposes, we see big jump, due part

increasing cost Of everything in Den

sn county must dig up for state pur-
poses in 1920 for 1919 taxes. Just
how much each state institution and
how much the roads can get can be
seen on the tabulation.
The county tax is less, considerably
less than last year, due to careful fin
anciering by the county commissioner
but because Of larger High School
funds required, the total of $132,515.4O
for all county purposes is approx.
mately the same as in the 1918 assess

II has been estimated that TIE aver

and that this number can be doubled
when the important factor Of egg pro-
duction are better understood.
One factor Of proltabls en- produe-
tion il the age Of Tie hea. Eeg pre-
duction decreases after . hen reaches
. certain age. The first laying year
is usually the most productive period.
Birds Of tie heavier breeds, such ~
Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds,
Wyandottes and Orphingtoas, general
ly do not lay enough eggs after The
second laying year TO pay for the feed
they consume. They should therefore
not be kept for market egg produe-
tion after their second laying year.
Birds belonging to the lighter breeds
such ~ the Leghorns, Ninercas and
Anconas, are Usually profitable err
producers Tor three yeaFs and shcul0
be disposed Of after the third laying
season Il over.
Prof. G. A. Schmidt, now Of the
Agricultural College at Fort Collins,
formerly poultry man Of wide rep
utation, kept . record Of each hen and
knew just which hens .should be kept
for egg-production and which should
Be killed. Prof. Schmidt, in speaking
Of the matter, said:
The laying year ends ct moulting
time. This Is therefore the time to
dispose Of all the two year old birds
Of the heavier breeds and the three
year old light breeds.
There is q simple way to keep re-
cord Of the age Of hens. As the pull
lets are maturing, slip q colored eel
luloid spiral band around one leg.
The bands are very durable and can
be used over and over again.
Next year use q different clored
band. Ordinarily four colors are all
that is needed. Keep track Of the
colors you use each year and you will
never have any trouble in telling the
age Of your hens.
"Colored spiral bands can be pur-
chased from all poultry supply
