The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-27

There is one possibility in the city
campaign that seems to have been over
looked. A group Of ladies met a month
or two age and resoluted at length
about conditions surrounding city poll
tics. They presented their resolution,
which called for an old fashioned dele
gated convention and the nomination OF
candidates for mayor and commissioners
in said convention on a ticket which,
SO the resolutions said, should be known
as the peoples ticket.
Some unkind persons limited that the
entire affair was arranged In Mr., VIII
liams' interest, so that he could get the
Endorsement of the proposed convention.
But the plan fell so flat that several
of the ladies' who signed the platform,
or resolution, or whatever 1t was that
was voted upon, withdrew and the con-
yention and the peoples ticket was
never more heard Of.
There Is just a bare chance yet that
a few people who cannot seem to sat
isfy themselves with either the Citi-
zens' league, nonpartisan platform, or
its candidates, nSr with Mr.. Williams
avowedly political platform and list OF
candidates. mignt get out a woman's

Some Political
Snap Shots Just
Fired At Random

1.-THE candidates OF the Citizens league
have taken the lead in every movement
made during the present campaign,
The ticket led by Rowlett Paine was
the first In the field, and the first to
hang its advertising banners throughout
the city,
Now the hundreds Of thousands OF pa
irons OF the film plays have the D
tunity Of meeting Mr.. Paine and his
associates as commissioners face to face
In every movie theater in Memphis,
Bursts Of enthusiastic applause greet
cd Mr., Paine's first appearance as a
movie actor star, when the Citizens
league Reel Movies were shown In
the downtown picture houses for the
first time. The applause broke out
when the condensed platform OF the
Citizens league was flashed on the
screen, Il stand for better govern
ment, better schools and law enforce
ment,"
Mr.. Paine's one minute in the silent
drama was followed by q minute Of
action play by John b. Edgar. candi-
date for commissioner of fire and po-
lice; Horace Johnson. who will be COM
missioner OF public utilities, grounds and
buildings; Maj, Tom Allen, civil en-
gineer, who will be commissioner of
streets, bridges and sewers and Charles
X, shannon, certified public accountant,
who will be the next commissioner of
accounts, finances and revenues.
The action films OF the Citizens
league candidates followed on the screen
Immediately after a Photographic slide
asking the audience to vote for j. J.
Williams and his associates on the
Memphis ticket"
There was about as much difference

On the other hand, he points with

the vicinity of the sills, and as the rats
are exposed and emerge the terrier will
catch them. A good rat dog will dig them
out himself if the soil is free enough.
In digging for rats In dirt floor do
not feel discouraged If your efforts go
unrewarded at first. As rule these pests
run countless tunnels in every direction.
Therefore, when you start to dig theNrats
make a hasty retreat and back up IN their
farthest holes. When all avenues of
escape are cut off finally they come out
in numbers. The writer has dug for three
or four hours and never started a single
rat, and then IN fifteen minutes bagged
a basketful.
Efforts to rid the premises of rats by
traps are unsuccessful mostly. They
catch few, but not fast enough to ex-
terminate them. Rats must be hunted
vigorously and persistently or they soon
gain the upper hand. Then, woe betide
the young stock.
Houses with board floors should be
built high enough from the ground to
permit dog to get underneath. Avoid
lumber piles and accumulatlons of rub
bish about the poultry buildings; they
harbor cats and other varmInts. Con-
crete walls in connection with dirt floors
are not much of protection against rats,
because it is common for these pests TO
burrow beneath the foundations and come
up on the inside of the building.
MUCH DEFENDS ON THE MALE.
A vigorous breeding male Is the most
important cog in the egg machine. He
viii insure an increased yield, increase the
size and weight of the flock, esta blish
early maturing qualities, improve market
qualities and influence appearances and
efficiency generally. He is the big chief,
although his services should be limited
70 the breeding season only. AT other
times produce infertlle eggs; they keep
better.
If YOU have not made q regular practice
of giving your chickens greenstuffs, try
il for couple of months and see if the
little extra trouble is not more than com
pensated. Also, note if your feed bills
are not reduced You would not think
of keeping q horse or COW without hay or
fodder or greenstuffs of some kind, be
cause YOU realize that they are grazing
animals Remember that chickens are
in pretty much the same class. As soon
as vour runs get bare and this erstwhile
plant food is not supplemented from the
outside YOU are ready to quit raising
chickens. You may not be aware of this,
but it is a fact nevertheless.
Egg production as we should like it is
an intensive process from beginning to
end 1t requires the consumption, diges-
ton and assimilation of large quantities
OF food. To meet these requirements hens
must have adequate crop capacity.
The best layers are almost always the
birds with the largest crops. Beware
of fowls with small or partly filed crops
at roosting time. They are the drones,
you can be sure. Better consign them to
the dinner table.
Hens should go to roost with their
crops bulging as large as a baseball.
Nothing develops the crop TO meet this
capacity better than the bulky foods
greenstuffs. From the time chicks are
able TO walk about they should be fed
some form of bulky food, if only for this
reason.

The Drum of the Ear.

The reason deaf people cannot hear is
that the drum of the ear is imperfect
or has been destroyed. Sound is moth
ing but the vibrations of the air acting
on the drum of the ear. When people
are quite deaf it Is because the ear.
drum will not respond to these vibra
lions, but they can still feel these vibra-
lions even IL they cannot hear them.
When number of deaf mutes are sit
ting in a room together and one wishes
to attract the attention of another he
strikes. his heel on the floor, and every
one in the room feels the vibration and
looks around to see who called. In the
large asylums for the deaf and dumb
the doors are hung very loosely, so that
il you shake them it sets up vibration
like stamping on the floor, and that is
the way they wake up deaf people that
sleep too late in the morning.
