Now that the new German Govern

tendered them by the Allies and tho
countries associated with them. the
greatest and most disastrous var that
has ever scourged the world Is ended
For nearly i've years now the world
has been topsy turvy- The things that
we're needed yesterday are no longer

great war establishments and munt

manufacture OF implements Of peace
There will now needs to be a re-
adjustment Governments that have
thought IN billions and spent money
with a lavish hand. must needs ~
trench and think IN millions and even
smaller amounts. and must gain a new
perspective.
Viewed IA the retrospect the part

This war that Is now happily ended
has taught the people the value OF
saving They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism as
anything else. But now that they are
reaping the returns. and see that what
they did with a patriotic motive is a
real foundation for future fortune
they have gained a new confidence
IN their country. and they will con

Keeping the feet warm is essential

Sometimes this Is true because the
owners have left them to shift for

more common errors is leaving an

One Of the most important factors
In allowing chickens free range is the
fact that they take a constant and

not at all necessary TO have a free

be done inside the chicken house or
in the back yard by feeding the grains
In n deep litter of straw, leaves, OF
shavings. and forcing the birds. wheth-
er young or old. 20 scratch continually

their appetites demand.
OF course when the birds are exer
