The eggs may he hatched by either

to raise all the goSlings under hens,

Most geese breeders do not confine
their geese for fattening, but feed
them freely few weeks on fattening

The geese may be confined for two or
three weeks and fattened, but some
green feed or vegetables should be
added to the ration.

WILSON ISSUES
PROCLAMATION
ON MEMORIAL

WASHINGTON, Oct. I'm COM
pliance with many requests which
have been made that a day be set
aside upon which homage may be
paid to the American heroes who fell
in the world war, President Wilson
has declared Sunday, November IA,
as Armistice Sunday.
The president issued the following
executive order:
II hereby direct that on Sunday,
November IA, 1920, the flag of the
United States be displayed at half
mast at all military posts, naval
stations, on vessels and on build
ings of the United States as a token
of the nations participation in the
memorial services held for the heroic
American soldiers. sailors, marines
and others who gave their lives to
their country in the world war.
WOODROW WILSON"
The president also authorized the
following statement:
There has been transmitted to me
a suggestion that 1 name Sunday
Nov. IA, as Armistice Sunday in or
der that the religious services held
throughout the country on that day
may be given an especial note Of re-
membrance for the heroic service
and sacrifice of those who died for
America in the world war. The Sc
lection of a formal day which shall
annually be set aside to commemor-
ate our participation in the world
war will some day doubtless be eff
fected through legislation and al
ready Memorial day, rich in heroic
memories, has acquired additional
significance as being appropriate
also to the commemoration of the
heroes OF the world war. l am, how
ever, SO heartily in favor of the sug-
gestion that has been made that [
take this occasion to express pub
licly my approval of the idea.
November II, 1918, will always
be memorable as the beginning of
the, end of the most terrible and
loved country took noble part in
fastening the arrival of the day
hailed by the whole world as the
dawn of peace; but close upon the
day of victory followed the realiza
ton of loss and the anniversary will
bring with it solemn thoughts to the
mind of every American, memories
of brave men who fell, sympathy for
THERE living relatives and those re-
llgious reflections in which nations,
like individuals. must seek hope and
consolation. That November IA be-
ing the Sunday Immediately follow
ing the anniversary should be OBJ
served in all our churches by suit
able memorial service for the heroic
American soldiers. sailors and ma
rines who gave their lives to their
country in the world war seems to
me eminently fitting and proper and
l commend the suggestion to those
VINO conduct such services"

SOUTH AND WEST
/. PROFIT POLITICALLY
THROUGH 20 COUNT

WASHINGTON, Oct. S-(By the
the final census figures of the coun-
try, which place the total popula-
ton of the continental United States
at los, 683,108, indicates that the
west and the south proportionately
will gain more in a political way
than the east or middle west through
increased membership in the house
of representatives, more votes in the
electoral college and in larger dele
cations to the national political con-
VentiOnS.
This result will obtain whatever
basis of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter, fixing the size
of the next house, which, in turn, is
reflected IN the electoral college and
the conventions of the big political
parties.
AS. the result of the increase of
13,710,842 in population during the
past ten years, fifty new seats must
be added to the house to prevent any
state from losing any part of it's
present membership of 435 be left
unchanged by increasing the basis of
apportionment there will have to he
a transfer of thirteen seats. now
held by twelve states, to nine other
states.
OF the past Hall century lIIS pre-
cedent has been to increase the size
of the house so as to prevent loss of
existing representation by any state.
AS a result. the house has grown
from 243 to 435 members, with only
three states-Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont-losing one member
each in the last fifty years.
Southern States Would Gain
If this precedent is followed this
year, five additional representatives
must be given to California. four
vania and Michigan, three to illinois
and Texas. two to Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and North Carolina and
one each to Alabama. Arizona, Con-
necticut, Georgia, Maryland. Mon
tana. New Mexico. Oklahoma. Oregon.
South Carolina, Tennessee. Washing
ton, West Virginia. Wisconsin, Vir-
ginia, Arkansas and Minnesota.
While the present basis of appor-
tionment is 211,877 inhabitants or its
major fraction to the congressional
basis to 219,427 without causing any
loss. To advance beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat, while Montana would
fail to gain one, with the net resuA
Of forty-eight new seats in congress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
mem bership of 435 as too unwieldly.
When the house census committee.
headed by Representative Siegel. of
New York, begins consideration of
the problem, effort will be made to
hold down the increase, but pressure
for the increase is expected to come
from the states which would benefit
from larger house.
By holding the house membership
to 435, gains would be distributed
with three to California. two to
Michigan and Ohio and one each to
Connecticut. New Jersey, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, Texas and Washing
ton. To offset these gains, Missouri
would be forced to lose two congress-
men. while Indiana, Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine, Missis-
sippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Ver-
mont and Virginia would lose one
each. All other states would retain
their present numerical delegations
in congress.

WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY?
One of the Wars Greatest Mysteries Surrounds the
Disappearance of Europes Gold and Silver Coins.

One of the strangest results of the
war was the rapid disappearance of
coinage from the worlds currency.
England has been very fortunate,
having lost only her gold. But on
the continent gold, silver, and in
many cases even copper, have disap-
peared from circulation.
France has paper money as low as
so centimes-equal to fivepence in
normal times-and during the years
1857 actually had paper notes of
rs confines value. Her silver has
rare. The constant moving about of
British troops during the war kept
it in circulation to some extent in
the northern parts. at any rate.
Germany's lowest paper rate is 10
pfennig-2 cents normally. This is
also the value of her highest coin.
During the war her whole coinage
was changed. Gold and silver were
withdrawn, and an iron coinage SUBJ
triOtiSm, standard ring was made,
which was worn as a sign of loyalty
by all Germans that had surrendered
any ornamnets to the state. The ring

1914.)
Today even the iron money has dis
appeared, and the only coins left in
circulation are the and 10 pfennig
pieces. There is, however, one ex-
ception. In Tilsit, in East Prussia,
one can find 25-pfennig town coins.
AS a result of this change the old
laws which forbade a man to smelt
coins have been repealed, and now
advertisements may be seen in the
Berlin papers offering as much as 400
marks for twenty mark gold coin
and 10 marks for one-mark silver
coin.
All notes from mark, normal
value "a cents, upward are made by
the government, and are only valid
in the district of the town whose
name they bear, neither can they be
exchanged abroad.

armistice, the German military au-
thorities made a special paper cur
rency called ost-geld, upon which one
may read the abortive attempt to
Prussianize the Baltic States. At
first the German mark existed side
by side with the Russian ruble. In
April, 1915, the first ost-geld notes
and coins were issued.
In the printing of the notes the
Russian language was entirely ig-
nored. One side of the paper was
written in German and the other side
in Lithuanian. The people were not
yet accustomed to the German unit
of currency, so the Russian unit, the
ruble, was retained. In the second

the ruble on the notes. Strange to
say, Lithuania has made this money
her national currency, bearing though
it does the stamp, writing and sig
natures of her oppressors.
For the most curious collection of
paper money one must turn to Rus
STA. The many upheavals since the
first revolution of 1915 have placed
the printing blocks in so many diff
ferent hands that money has been
turned out indiscriminately.

one part or another of that vast and
unsettled land.
In spite of the great changes of
government, the old car .ruble is
still in circulation. Nobody knows
who has the printing blocks but the
stuff is still being printed and is al
ways welcomed by the peasant in
preference to the new currencies,
which he does not trust.
And, in addition, all the govern
ments of Russia have made their pa
per money and circulated it. Ke-
rensky, Kolchak, Yudenisch, Dene-
kine-all had their own currency.
Even the adventurer Bermond, who,
toward the end of last year, raided
the Baltic provinces, left behind a
paper currency, printed in German
and Russian.-London Answers.
