the exhibition again examine your
birds and pluck the imperfect feath-
ers. 1t is quite a problem to dctc--
mine the best procedure when there
is foreign color in some of the LARGE
feathers on the wings or tail. If the
color is a disqualification there is D
justification for shipping the bird to
the show. What is best to do will de-
men in other sections, and upon the
pend upon the quality of the speci-
amount of defective color in the

PEROXIDE BLONDES IN HEN
HOUSE
Many exhibitors of white fowls
bleach the plumage of their birds
with peroxide of hydrogen and am
monia. They mix in a china bowl q
solution of three parts of peroxide
of hydrogen and one part of ammo
MIA. A clean muslin cloth is dipped
in the solution and the bird is wrap
ped in it. The muslin is next COW
cred with oiled silk or some watev-
proof cloth to confine the fumes Of
the bleaching gas. The peroxide-am-
monia solution can be sponged on the
plumagc or sprayed with ar, atmo-
mlzer. The only advantage in wrap
ping the bird is to make the bleach
more effective.
The shanks and feet of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and
well polished. To overcome rough
scales rub the legs twice daily with a
cloth dipped in kerosene and a short
time before the show wash them
thoroughly. Use a good securing
soap, wooden cloth, ar.i warm rain
/ water. Remove any old or rough
scales, and also the dirt between the
scales. The latter can be taken out
with toothpicks. Dry the shanks and
apply a solution of equal parts of
sweet oil and alcohol. Then warm a
wooden cloth and scrape a little bees
wax on it. The warmth will melt
the wax, and the shanks should then
be oplished with the waxed cloth.
COSMETICS AND CURE-ALLS
OF UGLINESS
Before shipping the birds to the
exhibition apply the sweet oil and
alcohol solution - the face and
comb. If you are 4 owing white birds
fill their p%lummage after washing
and when thoroughly dry with equal
parts of bran and rice flour. Some
exhibitors use cornstarch, which is
equally satisfactory. This prevents
the plumage becoming soiled, and
when the starch is shaken out at the
show and the fowls are groomed,
they apparently take a higher polish.
However, your coops must have
wooden or muslin tops and sides to
prevent rain from coming in contact
with the starched plumage. The
final grooming is accomplished with
a silk handkerchief, rubbing and pol
ishing the feathers until the plumaoe
has a high luster.
In tests of a large series of insect
icides conducted by entomologists of
the United States Department of Ag-
r%iculture, it was found that a few
thorough applications of crude petro-
leum to the interior of poultry houses
will completely destroy mites.

Revolutionary war was fought and
which involved us in a civil war.
|It is the same spirit we cham
pioned when our sons entered the world
war.
The nation is threatened as never be-
fore by dark and silent forces seeking
to overturn form of government
which, since It's adoption, has given
citizenship ever opportunity to enjoy
those things sacred to a liberty loving
Ipeople-free speech, free press, free
institutions, the right of franchise. TO
participate in and determine who
shall represent us in our government.
In the spirit of the late Colonel
Roosevelt we recognize true American
ism. He loved Americanism until his
death. He perpetuated and kept alive
uncompromising patriotism. No man
was more capable Of looking into the
future and seeking out national dan
gers that confronted the American
people. The life story of Roosevelt is
a lesson that should be studied in every
school in the country in order that
Americanism may be so deeply seeded
that nothing can prevent nor retard its
growth.
BY contributing to the Roosevelt me-
mortal we lend our aid to this worthy
cause. There is no American too high
or too low who can afford not to assist
in carving in the granite Of history the

TT was at Brussels. the later Bra

Brabant bore the Hapsburg yoke no
more willingly than that of Philip II,
and when Joseph II tried to interfere
with the long standing rights granted
by the Joyeuse Entree he precipitated
the revolt of 1889. At Brussels, too,
was fomented the revolution of 1880

the independence Ct Belgium.

RAILROADS AND RATES.

17HE attention of traders from the
domestic standpoint is undoubtedly
most closely concentrated upon the
railroad situation. Outstanding among
the developments Of the past week
was the decision to defer any advance
in freight rates until the end of the
present year. 1t is not strange that
such dcision should exert depressing
effect upon the stocks Of transportation
companies, yet railroad values on the
whole have held up Unexpectedly we'll
because of the growing belief that the
government can not refuse the re-
sponsibility for investment values
which it has assumed by reason of its
action in putting the roads into their
present position through high wages
and more extravagant style of main
tenance than they would ever have de-
veloped for themselves. Without hav-
belief except general confidence and the
better feeling that has shown itself in
congress with respect to questions
affecting capital and labor the market
has taken q distinctly hopeful attitude
with respect to railway investments.
Curiously enough and in spite of the
threatening conditions in the field of
local transportation as brought out at
the Atlantic City convention of repre-
sentatives of the electric railways there
has been a corresponding disposition to
feel that the worst has been reached
in local transportation shares and that
future developments would, If anything,
be better.

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW

In connection with the visit to the
United States of King Albert of Bel
GUM and the Duke of Brabant, the
National Geographic Society has is
sued bulletin relating how the eldest
SON of the Belgian ruler acquired that
title.
1T is fitting that the name of Bra
bant should be perpetuated in Bel
gian history, for the territory orig
inally so designated may we'll be called
the cradle of that Belgian freedom
which functioned SO gloriously in
1914" the bulletin says:
Present day Brabant, most popu-
lous province of Belgium, has an area
slightly larger than Rhode Island and
three times as many people. But the
Brabanf of earlier times, conquered by
Caesar, settled by Salic Franks, par
celled out to Germany by the treaty
of Verdun in S43, and made a part Of
Lower Lorraine, was more extensive.
1t included North Brabant, now the
largest Holland province.
Late in the twelfth century the
rulers of Brabant assumed the title of
Duke, but it was not until 1854 that
an event occurred which removed
Brabant from the rank of pawn of
the feudal system, and laid the foun-
dations for a love of Independence
which sometimes was suppressed. but
never crushed.
"This event is known as the JOY
euse Entree, a charter of Brabant lib
erty akin to the Magma Charta and
the Declaration of Independence.
granted by Duke John III, so there
would not be too vigorous protest
against the marriage of his daughter.
Jeanne to Wenceslaus. of Luxembourg,
union which entailed change or
dynasty.
"A year later John III died and his
heiress and her husband made their
coming to Brussels an occasion RE-
new their VOWS to observe the terms
of the charter. From this circum-
stance--an exceedingly Joyous entry
indeed--the charter derived Its name.
.It must not be concluded that be-
cause this victory was passive 1t was
handed, manna-like, to Brabant citi-
zens. The charter OF Cortenberg,
wrested from John ii, was a reminder
of the Brabant state OF mind and it
foreshadowed the broader principles of
the more famous document The JOY
euse Entree pledged the dukes to be-
gin no wars. nor conclude any peace,
without the approval of their subjects.
II provided that members of the coun-
Gil, representing Municipalities. must
be native born: and that the ruler
must preserve the duchys territorial
integrity.
"Even this concession did not pave
the way Of wenceslaus for a peaceful
reign. Louvein, once the ducal resi-
dence of Brabant rulers, had become
q center Of cloth manufacture, and
there sprang UP the consequent trou-
bles of an industrial city. During an
uprising the city's magistrates, most
~ noblemen. were thrown from the
windows Of a building and caught by
the populace on the points of spears.
Duke Wenceslaus recaptured the city
| in 1882 and punished the rioters. but
many Of the city's best artisans fled
to escape retribution. In SO doing
they transferred their industry to
England and Holland. Louvain re-
gained prestige In another field with
