Early Matched Birds
 Bring Better Prices
GU. s Dept. Agricultural

Chickens can be matched at any time of the year, but it is the chick ems matched early in the spring that give the best results. One reason is that if no special effort Is made to hatch early on the farms throughout the country the matching season coin- cides too closely with the planting season, and matching operations are reduced on that account.
 Early matched chicks, as rule, are the strongest and most vigorous in the flock because they are produced from eggs laid while the hens are in their best breeding condition. After a long period of laying the hens lose something of their vitality and their capacity to transmit vigor to their offspring, and so late-hatched chicks are on the whole decidely inferior to early matched ones in vigor and con- stitution. Because they are thrifty
 
 quicker and better growth than the late ones. Thrifty chicks get more from a given quantity of food than others. Weak and undersized birds often consume as much feed as the larger and better developed ones but make no perceptible growth.
 
 Tn early chicks develop to stage whre tl.ey can withstand extreme heat and an attack by the parasites which are ~aGrc numerous and troublesome in hct weather. The severe heat is apt to cheek the growth of the late chicks and III their weakened condi- ton tfey easily become prey to lice and mles. When the cold wet wealth CT comes in the fall they are peculiar ly susceptible to it and likely to de- velop colds, while the vigorous early chicks find the coolness stimulating.
 When eggs do not hatch well early in the season there is time to find the reason for the poor matching and to cure it before the season is too far advanced. When late matching is not successful the crop of poultry is cut short and egg production fails.
 Early matched cockerels are ready for the market when prices are high est. Early matched bullets mature be- fore cold weather and lay when prices of Eggs are highest. Late-hatche1 chickens are not mature before cold weather sets in and often will not lay until spring.

The rate of the SurtaX IS propor- tionately greater as the income in- creases, which makes the man with a big income pay higher rate than the man with a small income. For example, the man whose income is$50,- 900 will have to pay $9,190 income taxes, or little less than one-fifth of his income, while the man whose income is $100,000 will be required to pay 31,190, or nearly one-third of his income as taxes. The man whose income the past year amounted to d million dollars will have to hand over to the government $663, ,190, or a little more than half of what he made, and if there are any readers of The Jour nal who made $500,Oo0,0OO last year they are going to have to dig way down deep in their old sock-leg and fork over $3,582,530, which will oe just about three-fourths of what they made.

NEWARK WILL HAVE
 MODERN PICTURE SHOW
WILL ERECT NEW BUILDING DESIGNED ESPEC-
 TALLY FOR THEATRE

The Royal Theatre Company has been formed for the purpose of put ting in a modern motion rictures thea Ire in Newark A
 A new building will be erected on the lot belonging to O. F. Craig on the south side of Front street, direct ly opposite the Newark Drug Con- pany's place of business. The building will be an iron-clad frame structure and will be constructed according to the latest approved plans adapted especially for motion picture theatres. The building will be of sufficient size to afford a seating capacity of about 300, and will be so constructed that a balcony may be added with an ad- ditional seating capacity of about 100. The floor will be elevated and the building equipped with regulation op- era chairs.
 Part of the equipment has already been contracted for and the promot- CTS of the enterprise say that nothing but strictly modern and up-to-date equipment will be used.
 An order has been placed for one of the latest type electric motion pic ture machines. The promoters are Investigating the feasibility of in- stalling Delco plant of sufficient size to furnish power for operating the machine, electric fans and lights.
 Work on the building will be con- menced as soon as material can be placed on the ground and it is said that the theatre will probably be completed and ready to open for busi- ness in about 60 days.
 The people of Newark have long felt the need of first class picture show, as there is no form of amuse- ment in the town, and it is believed that the people will patronize and ap- preciate good show, such as the promoters of this enterprise propose to establish.
