Little Points That Aid Toward
Poultry Success.

BE sure that the male at the head
OF the flock is pure bred.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are: l-eghorn, Minorca, .Ancona,
Spanish, and Blue Andalusian.
The American or general-purpose
breeds are: Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dottc, Rhode Island Red, Java, Dom
Unique, and Buckeye.
The Asiatic breeds are: Brahma,
Cochin. and Langshan.
The English breeds are Sussex,
Cornish, Dorking, Orpington, and
-Redcap.
For general farm use the American
breeds are probably the best.
Pure-bred poultry means uniform
ity Of products. Uniformity of pro-
ducts means increased profits, il
products are properly marketed.
Given the same care and feed, pure
bred fowls make a Greater profit
than mongrels.
Subscribe for one or more good
poultry papers.
Every poultry keeper who is in
terested in breeding better poultry
should have copy OF the American
Standard of Perfection.

Why Shoe Prices Are High.

A Columbus woman was having a
pair of shoes fitted, and the clerk
was inclined to chattiness.
II remember the first pair of shoes
in Columbus which was sold for SIS,
he said, as he adjusted the shoe he
was trying to sell. Il was clerking
in-well, it was not this store-and
one day there came in large box
of shoes. There was nothing un-
usual about them; they were to be
retailed for S.. That was the maxi
mum price of the finest high shoes
then, and it was not more than five
years ago.
While we were taking them from
the box, the manager of the store
said:
" I am going to mark pair OF
these shoes at SIS and see if | can
sell them
: $50 he selected pair OF the regu-
lar S. shoes and set them on a piece
OF velvet in the show window. Price
Sis. was stamped on card and
placed over the shoes. In few
hours woman came in and bought
them.
-" What's the use in selling shoes
for S. when can get $15?' asked the
manager, SO every pair of the shoes
bought to sell at SIS was marked up
to SIS, and women bought them.
+, Now. whose fault was it? The
manager who took advantage of cir
cumstances, or the extravagant wo-
men who bought the shoes?"-Col-
umbus Dispatch.

They Work in Germany.

Topeka. Nov. 6.-That American
labor conditions are worse than Ger
man at the present time, while other
war stricken countries of Southeast
|ern Europe are still fighting. was the
statement today OF Maj. Leon Mat
asszrin of Wichita, former member
of the American medical mission for
the repatriation of Allied war pris-
cners. Major Matassarin has just
been discharged from the service and
stopped b Topeka to see Governor
Allen as he was returning home.
The German laborers are work
ing longer hours and steadier than
ever before, he said. They work
part time for the government to pay
TIE war debt aud part time for them
selves. They blame America for the
defeat of Germany and the propa-
ganda against this country is being
carried on among he children, so
hat in thirty or forty years we may
.xpect arouble from Germany"

U. S. Control of Utilities Will be
Asked BY President-Lewis.

Washington, Nov. 3.-President
Wilson will urge congress to enact
cgislation for government ownership
sage to the next congress, according
10 predictions made here Monday by
former Sen. J.. Hamilton Lewis OF
Illinois.
Lewis made the statement after
visiting the White House and con-
ferring with heads of government de-
partments.
Lewis declared the president will
advocate this policy as remedy fog
industrial disturbances such as the
coal. Strike.
Former Senator Lewis stated at
the White House that he wanted 10
confirm the statement he made. in an
address before the Chicago Associa-
ton. of Commerce on Constitution
day regarding government owner
ship of public utilities, for whichc lie
had been severely criticized.
Lewis said he wanted to confirm
that part of the address in which he
said:
That the coal mines, coal fields,
Gil wells and oil lands would be taken
over by the government as the
agencies of fuel and light for all the
people,
The administration. said Lewis,
will not assume to operate then, as
political or partisan patronage, but
will pay for the value of the proper
ties now in private possession and ap-
ply to the public uses the lands of
coal and oil but will operate them
through private contracts or personal
agencies which. through experience,
know the science OF operation in the
best manner for the public welfare.
Il prophesy," added Lewis, vigor-
ously, that the presidents message
to the December session of congress
will express policy of this nature
as to the national public utilities. as
one of the remedies for the present
coal strike and similar distui Dances
from private ownership OF national
public utilities.
