Don't Expect Too Much.

Matching eggs is too often blam-
ed for poor matches. Aside from
irregular management of the
incubator, weather conditions
during transit and the temper
ature in which eggs are kept be-
fore placing them in the machine
may affect hatchability, Eggs
will incubate in a temperature
of 70 degrees. If they are sub
iected to that temperature for
any length of time and subse-
uuently brought into a cooler
temperature 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 conserva-
lively on the results to expect.
About five times as many eggs
should be incubated as one ex-
poets to have mature pullets in
the fall. After April LIST 80 per
cent fertility may be expected
for Leghorn eggs and 80 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 E.
quail number of cockrels and pull
lets.

will be recognized is dictated by
common sense. Not only Is II
right, but it has been demon
strated that the German leaders
who have been declaring that the
people cannot be brought to sub
NIT to the terms are hluifinS.
What is keeping the Germans
from settling down is the plot
ting of the junker element.
The people Of the district en-
tered recently by France were
less disturbed over French occu-
patton than they were over some
of the military movements mt
home. A strong stand by the al
lies at this juncture is of SER
vice to the German people a.
gainst those az home, who, by
holding out false hopes to them,
could only make their condition
worse. 1t is time TO impress up
on the Germans generally that
the peace terms must be obey
ed.

CLUB APPROVES
TAxF0R SCHOOL
Commercial Organization in Favor
r of Petition Being Sent
Throughout State.

Equal tax for elementary school
and for high school purposes was
approved by the directors Of the Mo-
line Commercial club yesterday.
The idea is to have legislative plan
to provide for the separate high
school tax. The petitions are being
sent throughout the state by the IIli-
nois Teachers association.
". w. Ernest, superintendent Of
Champaign. schools, who is heading
the movement, explained in the Pc
tition that there are many commun-
tiles in Illinois, especially the
smaller ones, which support town
ship or community high schools as
separate organizations from the
elementary school with additional
taxing powers on the same property.
He says further:
Most Of the larger cities of ILL
nois have refused to establish spec
ial high school districts, believing
a division of school management not
desirable and that the right to raise
more revenue is the only advantage
which it offers. There Is NO reason
why these communities should not,
II they wish, be permitted to main
tain as gosd elementary schools and
high schools as the towns last mem
toned. The petition asks permis-
sion for them to eQualize their rev.
enues with those Of cities whose
schools are managed by two boards
of education"
The membership campaign, which
has been under way for several
weeks, further club improvements
and routine business occupied the
directors attention and an ad-
journed session was taken to Friday.

Chicago. Dec. ACTIVE selling

sharp declines today in the wheat

prevailing sentiment bearish owing
more or less to an apparent halt in
export demand. Besides, there
was . disposition to regard bullish
factors as having been more than
discounted by recent lively upturns.

from 2e to 41kc lower with Deem

PARKING LAW IS
NOT TOUCHED ON
BY CITY COUNCIL

The petition of the Moline Bust
ness Mems association for relax
alton of the automobile parking
ordinance during the Christmas
season was not discussed or taken
up at the Moline city cornell meet
ing last evening.
1t is understood that the ordi-
nance will stand as it is. Business
men asked that the regulations as
applied to Fifteenth street be mod
flied SO as to permit one-hour in
stead Of half-hour parking and di-
agonal instead of parallel parking.
This would mean that either the old
ordinance would have to be sus-
pended or new one drawn up.
Some of the aldermen discussed
the petition informally, it is under
stood and had decided against a
new ordinance and against partial
suspension of the present law.

ASK CITY COUNCIL
FOR ADJUSTMENTS
FOR ALDO YOUTHS

Alderman T. D. Winders last
night addressed the meeting Of the
city council concerning the lack Of
proper entertainment and recrea-
ton for the young people of Aledo.
Mr.. Winders spoke of the class of
boys found in every town who do
not attend church and are usually
on the streets on Sunday invariably
engaged in some forbidden amuse-
ment. Mr.. Winders suggested that
possibly the opening of the moving
picture houses on Sunday might
help the situation. The question
was discussed by the council and it
was generally agreed that Aledo
should do something to help pro-
vide proper places of amusement for
the young people of the city.
A report from the committee,
named some time ago, to investigate
the matter of sending fire apparatus
from Aledo to neighboring commun-
tiles in case Of necessity was read
by Fire Chief d. E. Farr, who sug-
gested that the council take immed-
late action on the subject. Mayor
Bolton named a committee, COM
posed of the mayor, chairman Of
the fire and water committee, Chief
Farr and City Attorney R. l.. Wat
son, to draw an ordinance. regulat-
ing such service and, setting min
imum charges for the services OF
the city's fire department and ap-
paratus outside the city limits. Al
derman ]. o. Freeman was named
to act as mayor protein in any alb
sence of Mayor Bolton. The lack of
adequate water supply for fighting
fires if the stand pipe tank became
empty was discussed by the coun-
Gil. 1t was decided that a connec-
ton be made between the main and
the underground reservoir. SO that
the water could be drawn through
the main directly from the under
ground tank.
