STARVING To DEATH IN SIBERIA
Horrible Cond tons Described by an
IOwan i'm Letter Home.

Waterloo, IA glimpse into the
starvation and chaos in government
in Siberia is given in a letter from
George w. Williams, Waterloo
boy, now in the service at Tcheli-
binsk.
Life for the POOR, or for any
one else for that matter, is very
difficult" he writes. Eve have had
40 below zero weather, with practi-
cally no fuel. The last time I tried
to buy kerosene it took two days to
get through the departmental red
tape and candles are prohibitive in
price. Electricity is so high that
very few lights are being Installed,
and for the most part the houses are
dark. Tea sells for 81 a pound and
sugar for the equivalent of $3.50 a
pound. Flour is about $23 for forty
pounds. How a workingman who
earns only 800 rubles a month, and
that is about the average, can live /
cannot see.
For the past six days there has
been standing on the track a train
filed with 500 prisoners, military,
who are being moved to another
camp. 1t was brought to my atten-
ton that these men had only one
meal and four rations of dry bread in
the last six days. could not stand
lit to see men starving to death and
bestirred myself. hope what / did

Lighted Chicken Coops to Increase
Egg Production.

Prof. James E. Rice of the De-
partment Of Poultry Husbandry
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York,
in statement issued few days
ago at the meeting of the New York
State Poultry Associations in New
York City, declared that tests car
ried on at Cornell during a. period
of forty eight weeks, with more than
zoo hens and pullets, have proved
beyond the shadow of doubt that
lights in chicken coops have a di-
rect effect on the production of eggs.
The coops were kept lighted until
nine O'Clock every night throughout
the test, and the egg totals showed
that 100 hens and pullets in the
lighted chicken coop produced 1885,
$40 more eggs than the same num-
Der of chickens in the unlighted
coops.
The reason for the increased pro-
duction of eggs in lighted coops was
given by Prof. Rice as being that
the hens had more time in which to
eat. There was no long wait between
supper and breakfast. Prof Rice
said that the same amount of feed
was required by the busy layers as
by the other hens, but the hens that
had the artificially long day ate their
food more slowly.
At wholesale prices, the increased
number of eggs in the lighted coop
during the period of the experiment
amounted to $71.8S. The average
increase in the production of eggs
for hens in lighted coops was placed
at lone dozen or more per year by
Prof. Rice. Under this system, the
poultry man, it is said, has absolute
control over the egg production,
since the laying pullets stopped lay
ing when the lights were turned off
for period and began again when
the lights went on.
Prof. Rice explained that one rea-
son for the increased profit on the
eggs was because the hens continued
laying through the late autumn and
early winter when the price of eggs
is highest.

as Interpreted by Great
American

The following extract from Jeffer-
sons first inaugural address is pretty
good craftsmanship for today:
about to enter, fellow citizens,
on the exercises of duties which
comprehend everything dear and
valuable to you, it is proper you
should understand what I deem the
essential principles of this govern
ment, and consequently, those which
ought to shape its administration.
I will compress them in the narrow
est compass they will bear. Equal
and exact justice to all men of what
| ever state or persuation, religious
or POLITICAL; peace, commerce, and
, honest friendship with all nations,
entangling alliances. with none; the
support of the state governments in
all their rights, as the most compe-
tent administrations for our do
nestle concerns, and the surest bull
warks against anti-republican tenden-
cies; the preservation of the general
government in it's whole constitution
al vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our
peace at home and safety abroad; a
jealous care of the right of election
( by the people; economy in the pub
lie expense, that labor may be light
ly burdened, encourag cement Of
/ agriculture, and of commerce as it's
handmade, and the discussion of in
formation and arraignment of all
abuses at the bar of public reason;
freedom of religion; freedom of the
press, and freedom of person. These
principles form the bright constel-
lation which has gone before us, and
: guided our steps thru an age of re-
volution and reformation. The wis
dom of our sages and blood OF our
heroes have been devoted to their
attainment; they should be the creed
of our political faith; the text of
civic instruction; the touchstone~by
which to try the services of those
We trust; and should we wander
from them in moments of error and
alarm, let us hasten to retrace our
steps and to regain the road which
alone" leads to peace, liberty and
safety"
