DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
FROM MATCHING EGGS

The poultryman who sells Matching
eggs is too often blamed for poor
matches. Aside from irregular man
agement of the incubator, weather
conditions during transit and the tenn
perature in which eggs are kept be-
fore placing them in the machine may
affect hatchability. Eggs will incu-
bate in temperature of 70 degrees.
If they are subjected to that temper
ature for any length Of time and sub
sequently brought into a cooler tenn
perature before being placed in the
incubator, dead germs are likely to
result, according to G. w. Hervey, of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture.
1t is wise to figure conservatively
on the results to expect. About five
times as many eggs should be incu-
bated as one expects to have mature
pullets in the fall. After April 1st
80 per cent fertility may be expected
for Leghorn eggs and so per cent for
the heavier breeds. A 60 per cent
hatch of fertile eggs is a good one.
About 10 per cent of the chicks may
be lost on range. Of the remainder
there should be approximately an
equal number Of cockerels and pull
lets.

chaotic, poorly equipped, and worse
managed, then the chance for any
great business enterprise to be Great
ed in there, is very slim.
This is just as true of farm home
as any other, and the farmer who
must bring to bear upon his various
undertakings all the mental and phys
ical activity of which he is capable,
cannot afford to neglect the home at
mosphere. II he is to attack the va
rious problems that constantly con-
front him with the greatest amount of
energy Of which he is capable, then
the home where he and his family
meet to discuss these problems must
be conducive to the greatest mental
and physical activity ON the part of
all concerned and in order that the
household machinery may run with
the least friction and loss of strength
and energy, it is necessary that the
home be modern. Such improvements
as water, light and heat are consid-
cred very expensive to install, but
when the comfort of a home thus
equipped is taken into account, cred
iting it not only with the greater con-
venience it affords, the lesser amount
of work necessary for its upkeep, but
also the mental rest to be attained in
such home the initial cost dwindles
into insignifcance. And any up-to-
date farmer who values the health,
strength, comfort and convenience Of
the members of his household and the
mental stimulus arising from the
bodily comfort cannot afford to re-
main inactive when it comes to mod
ernizing his home.

OBITUARY

Mary Ann (Tucker) LaBrott was
born in St. Francois County, in the
year Of 1886, and departed this life
in Flat River, Mo-, on February q,
1920, at the age of 81 years and 8
months.
Mary Ann spent all her life in and
around st. Francois county, where she
won the love and esteem of all who
knew her. She indeed was of true
Christian character; and always lived
with that great faith and hope that
will help to make our burdens lighter.
+ She was faithful and patient in
performing her daily tasks of life,
although they were many and heavy,
she never gave up; was always ready
and willing to do kind deed for some
one in need. Through her kind and
generous nature she always gave a
hearty welcome to strangers in her
home, and was never known to turn
a person away from her door hungry.
All these little acts tend to show the
beautiful Christian life that she liv-
ed. The life that makes US grow
sweeter and dearer as the years go
by.
Mary Ann was married In 1868 to
Louis LaBrott and to this union six
children were born, sons and 2 dau-
ghters. Her husband and two sons
having preceded her to the great be-
yond. She was also devoted mother
to several step-children, who tenderly
loved her. Her departure is felt in
the hearts of many relatives and
friends by whom she was dearly loved.
The funeral services were conducted
Tuesday afternoon, February 20, at
the home of David LaBrott, by Rev.
Longgrear, whose simple. yet impress
sive words were a beautiful tribute to
such life. after which the remains
were laid to rest in the Parkview
Cemetery.

bly," but warns that "they cannot
avert a disaster unless we keep ex-
penditures within our income"
Mr.. Mondell, of course, knows that
no money is expended that is not APP
propriated by Congress, and that re-
sponsibility for wise economy rests
with Congress, where the Republicans
are in control.
The Republican leaders in that body
have been talking about economy ev-
er since they came into power, al
most year ago. While they have
been talking economy, the Govern
ment departments have been practic-
ing it.

REDUCING THE DEBT

During March the Treasury Depart

nearly three-quarters of billion dol
lars in the National debt. During six
months ending with March, the Ma
tons Indebtedness was reduced more
than billion and half dollars,
enough to effect saving on interest
to the taxpayers of the country Of ap-
proximately $65, 100000 per annum.
This record is so splendid as to
bring forth praise even from the Re-
publican floor leader in the House,
Representative Mondell, who admits
that the Treasury officials have chan

For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.

The item published in the County

that application had been made for
admission of Miss Sue Nichols, of
Pennington, to the State Sanitorium
at Mt Vernon for treatment, was en-

pie, as had no intention whatever of
going to Mt. Vernon, either as a coun-

much improved and it is doubtful if
ever had tuberculosis at all.
1t is also hoped that such meddle-
