 TEDDY" RESIGN
Forced to Relinquish Chair manship of American
 Legion.

St. Louis, May 9-A New England man, Colonel John F. J. Herbert of Worcester, yesterday forced Lieuten- ant-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to re- sign as chairman of the caucus of the American Legion, which opened a three-day session here.
 The action of the head of New EngIand's delegation came quietly and practically unknown, even while hundreds of the thousands and more delegates in the caucus hall were cheering themselves hoarse for Teddy"
 Roosevelt had been nominated, had declined, been nominated again and elected by a vote declared "unani- nous" when the chairman of the New England delegation strode from the auditorium to the stage and quietly forced him to make his decli- nation emphatic enough to convince the delegates that he was sincere in his previous announcement that he would not serve as chairman. None but the newspapermen and a few of the New York and Ohio delegations, whose seats banked the stage of the Jefferson theatre, were aware of Col onel Herbert's emphatic insistence for Colonel Rooseve1t's reiteration of declination.
 The New England delegates, from all six States, had been silent during the demonstration staged for Colonel Roosevelt's benefit. They had not joined in the wild applause, the cheers, nor the long drawn out chants of "We want Teddy" And few be- sides the New England delegates and those who heard the straight from the

NEW ORDER ON
 CHARACTERIZATION
Affects All Men Whose Ser vice Has Been In U. S.
 Only.

Washington. May 9-CommandinG generals of the northeastern, eastern, southeastern and central departments and at Camps Knox, Brags, Benning, Humphreys, Eustis and Fort Siu. was instructed today that it is the desire of the war department to have dis charged by June 15 all men drafted or enlisted for the emergency who are eligible for discharge
 The exception of the southern and western departments from the order was understood to be due to the fact that the units under the supervision of those departments are largely on duty on the Mexican border and that 1t. therefore, might not be practic- able to release the men by June 15.
 It was explained at the war depart nent that the men intended to be affected by today's order were those whose service has been entirely with in the United States and who are now attached to "line organizations of the regular service" Similar iustruc- lions will be sent to commanders of each of the 23 demobilization centers but in their cases previous orders re- gardlng the discharge of soldiers within IS hours after their arrival still will be enforced.
 Commanders of demobiHzation camps also were informed today that in discharEing organizations sent to them. all men coming from a given city or community are, as far as practicable, to be discharged on the same day. This is to enable the men to return in a body to their commun- ity for such welcome as may be con templated for them.

Comment in the German press on the treaty handed the German dele gates at Versailles on Wednesday seems to indicate that Germany may sign the treaty. but only under the strongest protest, and that the di- plomauc efforts of the enemy may be concentrated upon President Wilson meanwhile for modification of the terms. Many of the journals empha- size the argument that the terms or peace in many features are in sharp contrast with his fourteen points
 French Socialisttc organs express themselves as opposed to the tr91-y because of it's drastic measures and a manifesto issued by the national executive committee of the British labor party says the treaty by it's terms, will "cause jealousy and ur- rest leading to further International disputes"

 LIMITATIONS


 Henry Ford will discuss tomor- row, upon the editorial page of The Times Farmer, the vital sub feet of personal limitations. Each human being has his capacities and his incapacities. There are things he does easily, things he does with difficulty, and things for which he has no aptitude. Some men regard their limitations as ob- stacles in the way of achievement. Mir. Ford regards them as fences erected on either side of the high way of life. so that the traveller may keep the road.

supplying the fowls with all available
table scraps 1t will usually cost from
80 to 70 cents year per fowl for
grain and other feeds. A good egg
laying ration should consist of the
following ;, Three parts corn meal and
one part beef scrap mixed together
and fed in a dry-mash hopper to which
the fowls will have access at all times.
In addition to this scratch ration
consisting of equal parts cracked corn
and oats should be fed twice daily.
When no table scraps are available it
will take about one quart of scratch
grain daily for twelve to fourteen
fowls. However, this can be reduced
when table scraps are fed and GER
tain amount of natural green feed,
such as grass, is available.
/ In providing the fowls with a suit
able house it should be remembered
that the essentials of such building
are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and
sufficient space so that the fowls will
not be crowded. Usually each fowl
should be allowed four square feet of
floor space. If available, scrap lum-
Der from dry-goods boxes, ETC., can be
utilized to construct such house. The
cost will be considerably less than
when lumber Is purchased. If suffi-
cient lumber Is not available for the
entire house q rough framework well
covered with ordinary roofing or tar
paper will answer the immediate
needs.
When the heavier fowls plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
Reds, etc) are kept all females should
be disposed of at the end of their Sec
Ond year. inasmuch as in most cases
they will cease to be profitable at the
end of that time. The lighter breeds
Ueghorns, etc.), however, can be prof
itably kept as long as three years. BY
disposing of the hens in this way
part of the flock must be renewed each
year. Consequently, considering that
the percentage of cockerels and pullets
Is usually about the same, and that
certain percentage will die before
reaching maturity, it is customary to
hatch more chicks each year than
there are hens in the flock.
