mouse. Thlrd, 1t can be open on
all sides; solid doors can be pro-
vided on three sides. These solid
doors can be raised during the
summer, thus allowing the house
to become as cool as possible.
During he winter months these
doors are closed and the house
made tight and free from drafts.
Fourth, a house of this plan is
very inexpensive and should not
cost over thirty-five dollars, and
where the lumber can be, bought
cheap and the work done by the
farm hands at leisure times it can
be done much cheaper. The loca-
ton should be on southern slope,
drained, so that plenty of sun
shine is available as it is the
best disinfectant. A gravel loan,
not too sandy, is the best kind of
soil. The house should face the
south and plenty of range or
pasture should be handy. Do
not let part of the range be on the
back porch of the farm house.
Nevertheless the poultry house
should not be too far from the
farm house as the women usually
have charge Of the poultry Of the
farm. The foundation of the
house should be made of brick or
Portland cement. The brick
should be laid up with cement
mortar made of one part cement
and three parts clean, coarse
sand. The foundation is made
Of four brick piers which are
twelve inches square extending
two feet above the ground and
six or twelve inches in the.
ground. The roosts should be
free from knots and nail holes for
such places offer excellent breed
ing places for mites. There
should be from four to five square
feet of floor space for every
fowl. Nests can be either built
off of the floor and attached to the
studding or they can be built sep
arate from the building and
placed on the floor up against the
wall. Some advantages of this
style of nests are-they are dark,
preventing the eating Of eggs, and
the top lifts up allowing the eggs
to be removed with little difficult
ty. The nest for sitting hen
should be eighteen inches square
and for laying hens 12x14x14,
FEEDING FATTENING HENS
-Starve for twenty-four hours,
giving water only. Give scraps
made into a batter first fifteen
minutes, then feed corn.
BABY CHNCKS.-Feed crushed
hard boiled eggs for forty eight
hours to seventy-two hours, shell
and all. Give butter milk, bread
crumbs, brand and shorts, ais
we'll as plenty of grit and char
coal. All pens food and water
dishes should be carefully clean
ed and disinfected. Neglect Of
sanitary precautions furnishes a
fruitful source of disease. Young
chicks should be given as much
wholesome food as they will eat

AUTO TRUCK 0vERTURNs

! Frank Bakers auto truck, loaded
high with furniture, overturned IN
the Hogs Back" section of the Hud-
sen sTps9 ssa1y is tprday asyegipgxS
Mr.. Baker was driving It home from
the Twin Cities. Mr.. Baker, who was
accompanied by two other men, own
ers of the furniture, was cut about
the head by glass from the doors and
windshield of the cab, and was, some
what bruised. The men with him es-
capped without injury. Much of the
furniture was badly smashed up.
The accident was caused when Mr..
Baker became blinded by the glare
of lights from an approaching car.
He ATTEMPTED to turn out to give
q. touring car more room to pass, and
because he could not see the road,
swung too far toward the edge of. the
fill, the soft dirt giving way beneath
the heavy load and allowing the out
side wheels to sink in sufficiently to
overbalance the machine.
The driver of the touring car
stopped and returned to assist the
men in the truck. 1t is said that the
car was from New Richmond, and
that the owner explained that his
reason flor not conforming to the
headlight rules was that he did not
understand that they applied outside
of the cities. 1t is also rumored
that the glazing headlights Of this
car caused the wrecking of the Nor
gan car in a collision with horse
near the Prescott Roads crossing a
few minutes later.

AUTO AND HORSE COLLIDE

While returning from Hudson early
Saturday evening car driven by
Glen Morgan of this city collided
with horse belonging to Mr.. Brun-
ner of Hudson at point just north
,of the Prescott Roads crossing. Mr..
Morgan and young lady who was
with him in the auto were both badly
cut by glass from the windshield, and
both were unconscious from the inn
pact for some time after the accident.
They were taken to nearby farm
house and a doctor, summoned from
the city, came out and dressed their
wounds, which though severe, are not
of a. dangerous nature. The horse,
which had a hip broken, had to be
shot. Mn. Drummer, who was in
road cart and driving the horse, was
mot injured at all.
Glen, who had taken the men who
officiated at the River Falls-Oshkosh
football game to HISson, was return
ing from there, accompanied by Miss
Gerhke of Menomonie, who was COM
ing here to visit her sister, student
at the local Normal school. As they
approached the Prescott Roads cross
ing they were almost blinded by the
lights of an approaching car, and
failed to see the horse until theyNwere
very close to it. Glen, however, be-
lieyes he would have been able to
swerve his car past it, but just as he
made the turn the horse reared,
swung around broadside and came
down onto the cowl of the machine
with a terrific impact. the cowi,
windshield, fender and one side of
the caf We're terribly smashed up, and
door was crushed inward in such
manner as to pin Miss Gerhke down
SO that it was necessary to break the
door off in order to release her. An
inspection of the smashed-up car
shows that Miss Gerhke and Mr..
Morgan had a very narrow escape
from death.

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE

Shortly after midnight last Satur-
day the downtown sky was suddenly
and without warning, Illuminated to
a startling brilliancy which reflect
ed clear light far into the residence
districts. When the fire alarm was
sounded the waking populace looked
down toward Main street and saw q
great sheet of flame, and it looked to
| all who were any distance away as
though one or more Of the larger
store buildings must be doomed
The blaze, however, proved to be
issuing from the roof of the new feed
stable which the city had leased of
Mr.. G.. w. Chinook. Jr., and which
was recently moved from Mr.. Chin
nock's property, down through Main
street to position at the rear of
Hotel : Gladstone. Although many
had passed the Gladstone corner
while the blaze must have been
smouldering inside the barn, none had
noticed it until the great mass of
flames from the hay-filled loft broke
through the roof. The fire depart
ment responded quickly, and, seeing
that the building was beyond hope of
saving, directed the first streams on
the A. w. Luud shops across the
street for the heat from the burning
building was. already beginning to
scorch the walls of the shops and
sparks were raining down upon the
roofs. When several sets of hose
were brought to play on the barn the
fire was soon extinguished.'
"Daiey," the old family horse which
Mr.. and Mrs. Chinook had become
very fond Of through its years of
faithful service, was victim of the
fire. Had any Of the early arrivals
known that the horse was in the barn
it might have been saved, but no one
knew shat the poor animal was there
ard as result it persisted in the
flames. Daisy" it will be remem-
bered, had a narrow escape from
drowning early the past summer
when heavy downpour caused the
South Fork to food the pastures and
trapped many unfortunate animals. ,
The barn had not been completed
for use as feed stable, but Mr..
Chinook, who was to have had
charge of it, had stocked it with hay
and also had harnesses, and so on
stored there. The harnesses We're
saved, but the damage to the build
ing and the loss of other things
AMOUNTS to about $500, with no in
surance.
1t is said that the barn will be re-
built, and that the addition for which
foundation had already been laid,
will also be completed.
The spreading of the alarm was
somewhat delayed by the failure of
the call boxes to turn in the alarm,
and it was necessary to ring the bell
by hand.

Oshkosh Wins
The State Title
Forward Pass Over Goal Line in Fin
al Period Gives Southern Champs
Only Score OF Came Gurnoe
is Star in Grand Battle
On Ramer Field

Although defeated, the River Falls
Normal school football team covered
itself with glory in holding the
speedy six-footers from Oshkosh to
a to score in the state champion
ship game played on Ramer Field last
Saturday. The DOWNSTAIRS came
here confident of an easy victory, but
instead, were played on even terms
until the last few minutes of the
game, when Webster caught pass
back of the River Falls goal and
scored the only points of the game.
>.Kolf missed the try at goal, the bali
striking the upright.
Oshkosh had a wealth of clever
plays, and their rangy backfield had
the speed and power of university
squad, but the Red & White defense
proved their match at every turn, and
on the offense, led by Gurnoe, the
locals were as effective as their OPP
ponents except in forward passing,
the tall Visitors having the advantage
in this method of warfare.
Morgan repeated HIS success of
previous games, outplaying Webster
and getting in on practically every
charge that came his way. Captain
Bliss also outplayed his man, and
with Clapp, Otterson and Garretson
formed forward line as formidable
as any which ever played here. Chin
mock showed his wonderful passing
ability in a lloyd. toss to Gurnoe
which boosted the local prospects
considerably after Oshkosh had
scored.
Billy Smith ran the team well from
the quarterback position, and john
son, Olson and Quinn all played great
games as half-baeks. Murphy, at
full-back, played star game, both
on offense and defense. Gurnoe was
!. the most prominent star of the battle.
Although he was marked man, and.
always attended" by at least two of
the visitors, he made sensational
gains on the offense, and tine after
time spilled the Oshkosh attacks.
In the last minute of play Mean
drews intercepted River Falls pass
and broke away to clear field until
Gurnoe came around from the other
side of the gridiron and headed Mac
off, saving the Red & White from be-
ing scored upon again. On another
occasion Gurnoe broke through and
at least seven visitors took try at
tackling him, but he was still on his
feet when he was run out of bounds.
i McAndrews was the star of the
visiting team, through his all round
work on defense as we'll as offense.
Fullback Lett was their offense star.
McAndrews was spurred on to his
greatest efforts by the presence OF
his father and mother, who watched
the game from the Oshkosh bench on
the sidelines. There was also large
delegation of his foEmer schoolmates
at New Richmond here to root for
him.
The game was fast, hard and clean,
and the victory was well won. Osh-
kosh is to be Congratulated upon hav-
ing a clever bunch of athletes who
know the game, play straight and are
real spQrtsmen.

Ring Lardner had better look to his
laurels. The most humorous little
sketch that has come this way for
long time, is an inconsistent, rattle
production of the of some
Stevens Point normal school scribe
who pretends to claim for his school
the state normal school football
championship. To make the docu-
ment more ludicrous, three MEM
bers of the Point faculty 1.-TWO of
whom were not present at the Men
omonie game) have attempted to add
dignity to the claim by signing their
names thereto. We fear our readers
would doubt any claim that Me paper
was seriously meant if we attempted
to quote from it, for it is hard to
make anyone here believe that it was
conceived in circles higher than the
kindergarten or at best the primary
grades at the Stevens Point school.

Coach Hayward Names
Al-Conference Team

Mgr Ernest C. Merton, on Monday
evening, gave very delightful ban
cuet for the members of the River
Falls Normal school football squad.
Coaches Hayward and Chandler and
Professor Whitenack, who attended
to the financial end of the schools
athletics. The guests all were eager
to express to Mr.. Mertop their APP
probation of his thoughtfulness in
giving this splendid repast, and be-
sides a personal word and a hand
shake from each, the squad members
led by Captain Bliss, gave three
rousing cheers for their host. :.
The turkey dinner, with its accom-
paniment of tasty side-dishes and de-
sert was indeed delicious one. There
were twenty-six at table. After the
courses were finished Mr.. Merton ap-
pointed Rev. G. A. Bird as toast-mas-
ter, choice which met with great
applause.
Mr.. Bird called upon Coaches Hay
ward and Chandler, Captain Bliss,
Professor Whiten&ck and Mr.. Merton,
all of whom gave testimony to- the
fine cooperation between school and
townspeople and emphasized the
great part that this attitude played
in promoting a brand of clean, honest
craftsmanship of which the town as
well as the school may justly feel
proud. Mr.. Chandler added few re-
marks regarding the coming basket
ball season, and stated that, while he
would not at this time announce a
1000 per cent quint, he would an
that the prospects were,
bright for a fine team and that they
would do all in their power to repeat
the success of last season.
Mr.. Hayward included in his speech
list of men whom he had chosen as
members of the mythical all-confer-
ence team In naming each player ne
gave very good reasons for bestowing
the honor. His list is as follows:
Ends-Webster of Oshkosh and
Morgan, of River Falls. 81
Tackles-Murphy of River Falls
and Seuz of Oshkosh.
~ Euards--Beelow of Oshkosh and
Anschutes Of Stevens Point.
Center Otterson of River Falls.
Quarter-Holman of Stevens Point
Half-backs-Gurno of River Falls
and McAndrews of Oshkosh.
Fullback-Yaeger, of La Crosse.
Mr.. Hayward concluded his re-
marks with suggestion regarding
a change in the present football rules
which will allow the offense greater
opportunity, either by giving the of
tense another down in which to make
the ten yards or. by decreasing the
yardage. He cited the results IN not
only the normal conference games,
but in the university circles, to show
that while the defense has been given
great opportunity for development un-
der present rules, the offense is at
disadvantage. as shown by the fact
that practically every game has been
own directly or indirectly By the for4
ward pass, or by drop kick, and
that these plays depend somewhat
more on luck than upon scientific
football.
AS several. of the speakers pointed
out, this banquet testifies to cordial
relation between school and towns;
people which is delightful to realize,
and which is too often lacking in col
lege towns.
Mr.. Merton is to be congratulated
upon the splendid success Of the at
fair.

NATION NEEDS
OVERSEAS OIL
Anglo-F rench Agreement in
Near East Causes
Anxiety Here.
(PubIie Ledger Service.)

That the United States has cause
for anxiety as to the disposition Of
the worlds oil supply is largely
shown in figures now before the
State Department.
Neither the department nor the
British Embassy yesterday received
enlightment from abroad as to the
specific terms of the AngIo-French
agreement for the division of oil
in the Near East, but officials at
the embassy believe it was made
at the suggestion of the French and
that America would be welcomed.
The figures before the State De-
partment show that the oil supply
in this country will last but fifteen
years longer. Last year the United
States consumed so per cent of the
oil produced and controlled the pro-
duction of 60 per cent. The re-
serves in the world, however, are
almost entirely in foreign hands
and three-fourths of them are un-
der the control of Great Britain,
France and Holland with the
largest share under British domi-
nation.
