PATHE NEWS WEEKLY
LET "HATCH EARLY
BE YOUR SLOGAN

Pullets Matched late in the season
will not reach maturity in time to be-
gin laying before fall and winter, ac-
cording to H. L. Williams, poultry
specialist, Extension Division, Louis
lana State University, who reminds
poultry raisers that a dozen eggs in
the winter are worth as much as two
dozen in the spring and summer.
"There are a number Of other ad-
vantages in Matching early" says VIZ.
Williams. "The early chicks are as
rule, stronger and more vigorous be-
cause they are produced from eggs
laid while the hens are in the best
breeding condition. After long peri
cd of laying hens lose some Of their
vitality and capacity to transmit vigor
J 10 their offspring. Because they are
r,ore thrifty andIvigorous early hatch
ed chicks make quicker, better and
cheaper growth than late chickens.
| Thrifty chickens get more than q
.iven quantity Of feed than others.
Weak and understood chickens often
CONSUME a. much as larger and better
developed birds and still make no per-
ceptible growth. Early chickens de-
yelop to a stage where they can with
stand extreme heat and attacks OF
PARASITES, which are most numerous
and troublesome in hot weather. Late
chickens are likely to be caught BY
severe heat just ct the stage Of
| growth when heat will affect then
most. In their weakened condition
| they are an easy prey to hce ant
mites. Their growth is interrupted
snd when cool weather comes in tn
| fall they are peculiarly susceptible
to it, while vigorous, early hatchet
chickens find the cool weather stim,i
lating.
early Matching reduces the risl
incident to incubation. When egg
do not hatch well early in the seaso'
there is ample time to find out tn
cause of the trouble and correct
before the season is too far advances
| In that case poultry production ma
not be reduced at all and egg pro
| duction retarded only few week
When late Matching is not satisfactor
: the crop of poultry is cut short an
| egg production fails"

PROVES BEAT LACKS "COPPER"
Citizen Hangs Dollar Bill on Broken
Street Light and Waits
in Vain

Chester, Pa.-When an electric light
in Prospect park flickered out some
three months ago j. b. Geary, whose
home is close by, says he waited pa
tiently night after night for the police
man on the beat TO report the matter
and have good bulb hung there.
Geary took a new crisp 81 bill and
tackled the bank note on the light pole
Then he watched for the coming of the
policeman. Had the policeman been
on the job he would have been reward
ed with the ST bill" said Geary. but
he has not put in an appearance and
the money is still waiting for him to
claim it,
Other people have come that way
and several dozen passers-by have at
tempted TO pull down the money be-
fore his very eyes, Geary says but he
has given them to understand that the
dollar belongs to the policeman thai
gets around there and has the light
fixed.

GUARD SERVICE HIT
Fourteen States Have No Militia,
Reports General Carter.
Strength of Sc, 100 Is Shown, as
Against 1O6,3 800 Men Authorized
by the Government.

ShingtOn.-FOurteen states had
no National Guard troops recognized
by the federal government on June 30,
according to the annual report
Of Maj. Gen. Jesse Carter, chief Of
the militia bureau, just made pub
lie. They were Arkansas, Delaware.
Illinois, Indiana. Louisiana, Massachu-
sets, Montana. Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire. New Mexico, North
Dakota. South Dakota and West Vir-
ginia.
The recognized units Of the guard
had a total strength OF SO, 100 officers
and men at the end Of the fiscal year,
the report said, against an authorized
strength of 10000, great difficulty
having been encountered in obtaining
recruits during the year. General Car
ter noted general public antipath to-
ward military affairs as among influ-
ences against which the reOrganiza-
ton of the guard was proceeding. Dis
content with the National Guard serv-
ice, he added, had been fostered by
tales of unfair treatment during the
war spread by men with grievances,
many OF which found their way into
the public press"
Such complaints. General Carter
said could not be substantiated upon
investigation.
There is conclusive proof" he con-
tinned.4 that National Guard officers
were not, as a class, Disseminated
against by Regular officers. Individual
cases Of injustice have been cited by
members OF congress and Of the Ma
tional Guard to make 1t appear that
unjust discrimination existed gen.
orally. As a general rule National
Guard officers were treated with more
than were regular Off
GERS under the same conditions.
Causes which retarded recruiting
have been gradually overcome. with
the result that In June more than
800 new men were obtained, the re-
port said

In Defense of the Country Doctor.

Lexington. Ky.-That the old fash
toned country doctor who learned his
profession from "a book bought at an
anction." is more to be trusted in the
diagnosis and treatment of many cases
than many of the modern specialists,
is the opinion of Or. A. +. Mccormack
of tie Kentucky state board of health,
who delivered an address before the
state health officers. i,ut for the old
country doctor there are many COM
munities which would be so far from
medical aid that untold suffering
would result. declared Or. Mccormack.

ONE IN EVERY 68.

The annual report of the Civil Ser

declares that an "altogether rosy pic
ture cannot be painted" of the per-

A realization of the huge proportions

holders is made possible by the state
ment that on July 31st one out Of

occupations was a government work
