Don't figure why a black hen lays
a white egg, but get the egg.
Root crops make excellent Succulent
food for hens where plenty Of green
grass or rye a not be had.
The Emden Is probably the most
beautiful Of all domestic water fowl,
It being a pure white, and, like the
Toulouse. very large.
Keep the drinking vessels clean. Put
a little lime into the bottom Of them
twice a week. Don't forget to give
the fowls a little salt, In some form,
every day.
If hens are crowded too closely, the
house soon gets foul and the birds can
NOT obtain sufficient exercise because
they have not sufficient space to move
around.
Barred plymouth Rocks are good
general purpose fowls and will lay
well II bred for eggs and properly fed
and cared for. White Leghorns are
excellent where eggs are all that Is
wanted.
The China goose Is a variety that
might well be called the Leghorn OF
the goose family. They are small In
size, Of a hardy nature, easy to raise
and mature quickly.

GOOD QUALITIES OF GUINEAS
Have Large, Plump Breasts and Gamy
Flavor That Is Enjoyed by Many
Epicureans.

Guineas have large, plump breasts
joyed by some farmers. They are
good foragers and easy to raise and
their clacking will brighten hawks or
sound an alarm If other intruders
come to the poultry range. Their dis
advantages are not serious, but they
will fly into the garden and sometimes
do a little damage and the old birds
are often quarrelsome with the young
poultry. They can be allowed to rOost
in the house with the old birds and
they will lay their eggs in the same
nests.

The result, according to the report of
the chief of the bureau of chemistry,
is a material diminution in the break
age of eggs during transportation.

SIMS, NOT DANIELS

Admiral Sims says that he was told
by d high official in the Navy Depart
ment not to let the British pull the
wool over his eyes" and also told that
we "would just as lief fight the Brit
ish as the Germans"
Admiral Sims does not say that
Secretary Daniels told him this, but
he certainly leaves people to infer
that
If it was Secretary Daniels who
said those things to Sims, then Sec
rotary Daniels spoke like real Amer
jean, and all the rest OF us who are
Of that breed win say: Bully for
Daniels!"
One Of the most distasteful things
done BY Mr.. Wilson during the whole
war was the selection Of Sims to COM
mand our fleet in European waters.
Most of us felt that there were
plenty Of officers in our Navy, who
were Americans by birth and in sem
timcnt, perfectly fitted to command
our American ships, without selecting
one who was born British subject
and who had never lost an oppor-
tunity to exalt and magnify the Brit
ish crown and the British navy.
We did not forget that this same
Sims had in speech in the Guildhall,
London, in 1910, insulted the ordinary
decencies Of international relations
by promising that whenever ENGLAND
got into real war she could rely up
on the last ship, the last dollar, the
last man and the last drop of blood Of
her kindred over the sea- speech
for which he was most properly rep
rimanded and should have been CASH
tered
4 And when this same Sims, in his
written account of his operations
after the war, stated that he and other
/ American officers were well content
to leave the freedom of the seas in
tn keeping of the British navy" we
all felt that he was only running to
the true Anglophile form he had al
ways displayed.
Nor did thousands of our citizens
Of Irish descent, forget the insulting
remarks which were the portion metec
out to the kin in Ireland by this same
wordy hero Of the English royalty and
aristocracy
So we feel quite sure that wher
Sims accuses Secretary Daniels by in
ference of having told him that We
were just as willing to fight Great
Britain as anybody else, he will moi
draw any tears to real American eyes
For that is just the way real Amer
leans feel about it-and if Sims wa:
ia real, natiye-born American ne coult
understand that without being told.

AFTER making that appeal. Pres
hSent Wilson assured the people that
- would accept their verdict with
ut cavil'
@The result was the substitution of
a Republican for a Democratic Aa-
jority in both houses-a direct and
unn1istakable reputation of the Pres
dents leadership.
How, then. can any intellectually
honest man say that the American
people sent Woodrow Wilson to Eu-
rope to speak for them at the peace
conference? BY evry mans in their
power, the people told him not to
speak for them. Can Mr.. Marcosson
conceive Of any other manner in which
the people could have expressed them
selves?
"And yet he has the effrontry to
say Europe had every right to assume
that once our good name was affixed
to the treaty that name would not be
repudiated' An insult to the inelli-
gence of the American people as well
as to the intelligence of the repre-
senatives of European nations at
| Paris. There is not school boy in
America and there was not peace
delegate at the conference but knows
! that the name of this country cannot
| be affixed to any treaty without the
advice and consent of the Senate. To
| accuse his, nation of 'repudiating' its
! GOOD name is an offense for which
tMr. Marcosson should be called to ac-
count before the bar of public opln-
4 I'm, if nowhere else. 1t is upon such
talk that bolshevism feeds. If Mr..
FIarcosson can accuse his country Of
| repudiating its good name, why cam
| not the bearer of a Red Flag do the
same with impunity? If the people
of this country take the President at
. his word and repudiate his leadership
and then Mr.. Marcosson can be per-
. laitted to proclaim that the people
sent Mr. Wilson to Europe as their
spokesman, why cannot the Red Az
tator with equal IMMUNITY declare
| that every victory for law and order
is in reality an endorsement Of the
campaign Of lawlessness? One
would be just as true as the other
and Nj. Marcosson knows it.
ITO say that this nation sent Mr.
Wilson to Europe, to say that the
good name Of this nation was signed
! 10 the peace treaty, or to say that this
onation has repudiated its name, is
false, and any man who makes the
statements is a menace to orderly
constitutional, government in the
United States. He is besmircher q
the good name of the nation undel

AS for the gross improperly Of this
public attack upon the head 81 the
Navy by subordinate, we can only
say that many hot-headed sailor
man has been put behind prison doors
for INSTRUMENTATION not half 50 flag
rant and twice as excusable.
The Senate should not begin by in
vestigating Secretary Daniels eon-
duct Of the war The. Senate should
begin by Investigating Sims conduct
during the war and since the war
II Secretary Daniels did say, during
the time when Mr. Wilson was pro-.
Tossing neutrality, that we were as
ready to fight British as Germans, he
had the right American view, and If
Mr.. Wilson had held the same view
and made it known when British and
Germans alike were insulting our
flag and committing aggressions upon
our RIGHTS on the seas, the war would
have eneded in 1916, without dragging
us into the conflict, and the whole
world would have recovered and been
at peaee and at work this very day.
All sensible men know that now.
And as far as early shortcomings
are concerned, truly there were many
of them in the Navy Department just
as there were in the British Navy
Department, the German Navy De-
partment-and every other navy de-
partment
War is not a normal condition.
War never finds the machinery Of war
making all ready to run at top speed
! Everybody knows that who knows
anything at all.
The Secretary of the Navy came
through the war with more credit than
any man in the Administration, and
he deserved that credit.
4 It is shameful thing that he
should be the target Of mud-slinging
subordinates, jealous subordinates, un
American subordinates.
We have had enough and too much
of this pro-British intriguing in our
affairs.
When it begins to thrust it's fing-
ers nootur. hidiuu
ers into our Navy-our only defense
against British imperialism-the
American people are going to speak
out 50 clearly that nobody in Wash
ington will doubt what they mean or
how they feel.
i Sims can be quite sure Of that, 50
can his navy clique and their aiders
and abettors in the Congress. -New
